The key to attaining true self-knowledge is to respond to the moral forces of the spiritual world in one’s thinking, feeling, and willing. But these forces are not merely inanimate forces, as a materialist might think of them. These forces proceed from the activities of Angels, Archangels and Archai.
To be able to receive these forces clearly / consciously, the etheric heart needs to be developed by overcoming ignorance, faint-heartiness, and arrogance in every social interaction of one’s life. You won’t attain wisdom without morality. That is the real and only Holy Grail according to masonic tradition.
It will develop to sense-free thinking, feeling and willing permeated by warmth generated by the etheric heart.
A little example for overcoming a fainthearted state of being:
You cleaned and tidied your family’s home while your wife was away. The children had promised her they would do it, but instead you had allowed them to play with their friends on this beautiful summer day. When she comes home, she is delighted that her children have tidied the house so nicely. And you say nothing, have a warm smile on your face and rejoice with her.
I consider this true love. Love which is freely giving without wanting anything in return. Ask yourself the question when encountering other humans and animals. “What ails you, my brother”?
Humans would start to awaken on the other and don’t fall in this kind of trance state occupied by their hardened state of being/Ego when it’s met by different states of being and notions.
The alchemical fire is the power of conscience that is awakened by the experience of the fruits of our deeds reflecting on the heart, which leads to a recognition of our spiritual destiny, and to the soul metamorphosis that is spiritual development.
Becoming Angels themselves in the distant future.
Angels were humans once before on a different incarnation of this planet.
And Archangels were Angels during the time Angels were humans, and so on for the rest of the higher hierarchy of spiritual beings.
The divine plan of becoming co-creators in a cosmos of love and freedom.
Like Christ said: Know ye not that it is written, ye are Gods - (in a process of becoming) or as St. Paul said “Ye shall be as the Angels”
