Intimacy of the Perfect

Course XLV - Teaching 1: Call to Ordination

Although all souls are called to the Supreme Renunciation, just some few realize it by means of the Ordination. It would be inconvenient to believe that any vocation to Ordination becomes manifested and develops in the same way, but in all of them there is a similar point that one could call internal divine motion in the souls.

Course XLV - Teaching 2: Vocational Discernment

Vocation to Ordination is an unyielding feeling of the soul, a dark state of being, a determining idea of the mind, and an unknown certainty about one’s destiny and choice.

Course XLV - Teaching 3: Contact with the Community

Preparation for Ordination life is a constant effort of the soul for many months to get used to higher nervous tensions than to ordinary tensions. The soul accustomed to this psychical run experiences a violent shock as soon as it arrives at the House of Community.

Course XLV - Teaching 4: Adaptability

An unmistakable internal motion determines the vocational state, but this divine gift must be assisted to make the best possible use of it. Vocation can be assisted by usual media, which are of physical, psychical and spiritual kind.

Course XLV - Teaching 5: Blood Sublimation

Many souls called to perfect life cannot achieve their purpose because their blood links are so pressing that hinder their separation. Just those who sublimate their affections and transform them into a loving offering to the Divine Mother can surpass this impediment.

Course XLV - Teaching 6: Oblivion of the World

Total dedication is impossible without full oblivion of one’s past. As soon as the Son passes through the Holy Gate of his Ordination, he must entirely strip of the old man as if he came really and physically into a new life.

Course XLV -Teaching 7: Correspondence

Eastern Masters take with them their disciples to the mountain, where a rigorous winter an abundant snow impede any relationship with the world. An Ordained Son must follow his Divine Mother up to the high mountain to break any contact with the world.

Course XLV - Teaching 8: Expanded Soul

Gradually, a miracle takes place in the soul of the Ordained Soul: his expanded soul. As the soul is more and more into the Radius of Stability and into the limits of the Holy House, silence becomes effective, enters, and fills with peace and calm the void of worldly things.

Course XLV - Teaching 9: Impermeability to External Things

The Seminary has to form an Ordained Son in such a way that he does not reveal anything of his inner self. If the Ordained vocation entails to live inside, in divine intimacy, then from the beginning it is indispensable not only to desire to be away from the world and to strive for being unknown to the world, but also to be cautious and to impede the world to know the Ordained Son and vice versa.

Course XLV - Teaching 10: Modesty of the Eyes

The Ordained Sons offer their lives and their entire being to the Divine Mother, and the seal of this loving offering is the daily effort of the Sons to make it perfect.
