You Are Job (The Series, Part XIII)
In this lesson of the “You are Job” series, we shall process how the Job mysteries act as an spiritualized educational system to help the inner entity or the “I” essence define itself without becoming subordinate to titles, positions and status that inflate the lower self or “ego” into grandiose states of illusion. The purpose of the Job mysteries is to develop more attuned being instead of fictitious and empty human shells with scant human personas. An example of this can be found amongst the paragons of “etiquette” that exemplify excellence, but lack spiritual content while being alienated from divine purpose. They avoid the urge and desire to voyage the depths of their inner being, only to concern themselves with the robotics and flow of a conditioned society.
The Job Mysteries force MAN to abandon his servitude to illusion. No longer are titles, positions and status the ideal of existence, but the relinquishing of mechanical spiritless being now becomes the focus and aim. The human apprentice begins to manifest the concept of being instead of the concept of having. In the “Book of Job,” Job begins as a man of material substance, but his inner being is shuffled, antagonized, tortured and “raked of over the coals.” This process acted as a type of educational system (initiation) to purge Job of the superfluous ego based materials that clouded or veiled his energetic connection and mission of self mastery and divine attunement.
The Job Mysteries suggest that MAN presents himself before the divine in nakedness to display his purity and absence of doubt and contradiction. In the Masonic mysteries this purity is symbolized by the pure white (unsoiled) lamb cloth that covers the genitalia. As Job was entitled blameless and upright, it was universal education system that forced him to earn his vibration of “being” instead of his title of “having.”
The Job Mysteries are the conquering of the Higher Self over the lower self. We now know that education is the process of extracting the best from within not the introduction of that which is without.
