The Question:

DK tells us of Christ himself BECOMING through increasing intense experiences where nothing is permanent.

Look at these hints on how to increase our knowing and tell us what they mean to you. Especially contemplate the words "experiment, experience and expression."

John writes:

First, experiment. To try something new, especially in order to gain experience.

Second, experience. The fruit of experiment. Experience leads to knowledge which is certainty.

Third, expression. An outward manifestation of something which lies within. We demonstrate our knowledge of principles by manifesting them.

CG writes:

Experiment (make a discovery) with the Christ within, this increases intense experiences, for the form is not permanent.

Experience the Christ within to become as Him and become with Him.

Express the Christ within to those without.

Bryan wrote:

The concepts of "making all things new" came to mind, as well as that doing the Will Of God *is* done, create, experienced by "experimenting, experiencing and expressing/expression".

Rick:

I found, in my life, that the 3E's lead me to a love/oneness with the matter being dealt with. To know is to love and also become one with.

Arit:

I applied this to the question and found that in order to know Christ/God/Hierarchy etc we have to EXPERIMENT by practicing soul contact often. When we get the hang of it, we EXPERIENCE the "presence" as we've never DONE before and frequent contacts open new vistas to us to explore and greater knowledge is revealed for us to EXPERIENCE and we can then EXPRESS the knowledge we've gained to others as well as teach what we know.

Let me add a few words.

1. Experiment

To experiment is the first great step in becoming an initiate for one cannot be an initiate without experimentation. Why? Because, to initiate something new requires some trial and error, experimenting with different methods and approaches until that which is imagined becomes that which is manifest.

The average person merely waits until someone else gives them purpose or tells them what to do, but the initiate will experiment on his own initiative.

2. Experience

We all have experience whether we experiment or not, but the experience of an initiator is different for the initiator experiments. Instead of merely sharing in experience initiated by others he who experiments initiates experience unique unto himself.

Concerning the Christ, DK wrote that he "passes on steadily to increasingly potent experiences, and that in His divine experience there is nothing static or permanent..."

People think that a great being such as the Christ is so perfect that he would have no need to experiment because he's already got everything figured out, but, as usual, reality is much different from the common perception. The truth of the matter is that the more progressed is the individual the more he will experiment, not less.

The Higher Lives look forward to that which has never been and then experiment to make it a reality. As the Great Initiate moves forward in such experimentation he undergoes more potent experiences than ever felt before and the capacity for joy increases. When the potency of experiences increases then the power to know increases.

3. Expression

After the initiator has an increasingly potent experience he then develops a natural urge or need to express that experience. When the experience has been expressed and then seen by those who have not yet had the experience a fascination and sense of wonder develops within the heart of the seer. The witness then desires the same experience and this motivates him to initiate, to experiment until he owns the knowledge of his mentor.

For example, Jesus experienced the love of God and the experience was so potent that he had to express it, even if it meant the great demonstration made on the cross.

This expression of love was so potent that the desire for the experience of the Love of God has entered the heart of many disciples since that time.

Question:

DK talks about a divine idea dawning upon the soul of Christ, not his mind.

Stretch your minds and souls and tell me, what is the difference between something dawning upon your soul compared with an idea dawning upon your mind?

Back of every noble life there are principles that have fashioned it. George Lorimer
