Course XXXI - Teaching 1: Revelation

For Revelation you should understand the Orthodox Scriptures of the great fundamental traditions. Great fundamental traditions are those that transmit the Teachings of the Races-Roots.
The Teaching of an Orthodox Scripture must be based on antiquity and affirmation.
Orthodox Scriptures record Great Teachings and convey them to posterity. Any further teaching is heterodox.
The origin of the Revelation is truly divine, non-human, since it goes back to a time when the Race-Root appeared.
Any attempt to know the original time of these Teaching is a temerity; those who speak of these Teachings may be seemingly quite versed, but not based on the foundation of the true wisdom.
Even one cannot say who was the author or channel who conveyed these Teachings, since he belonged to a previous cycle to the present one, when beings were different not only ethically and physiologically, but even energetically.
Chronology is not too much important if you take the Revelation from this viewpoint. Also, a chronology, to be such, should have two fundamental stages, that is, oral and written.
Solar Initiates received the Mother-Idea directly from God and conveyed it orally.
Later other Initiates affirmed by writing.
The Revelation is perpetual.
It is perpetual everything with a real value during a complete cycle of Human development, or of Race-Root. It is perpetual because the Teaching is composed of the Idea-Mother, around which the entire race develops.
The Revelation is infallible.
It is infallible because the eminence of God, in the Great Law of Universal Predestination, establishes a Law of Racial Cyclic Predestination by analogy.
The Revelation is the only exponent of the Doctrine because God knows the magnetic field –cyclic and racial– in which a man can develop, and He instructs man about several means to complete His Law of Possibility.
Orthodox Scriptures are Divine –sacred, non-human, perpetual, infallible and unique exponents of the Doctrine.
They are par excellence knowledge of great fundamental traditions and, at the same time, origin of any derived branch.
Vedas are a luminous example of Orthodox Scriptures.
The Council of Trent, recognized as such Orthodox Teachings contained in the Bible, says quite clearly: “Unus Deus sit auctor, nec non traditiones ipsas, tum ad fidem, tum ad mores pertinentes, tanquam vel credimus a Christo, vel a Spiritu Sancto dictatas, et continua successione in Ecclesia Catholica conservatas”(“Just God is the author, and also the very traditions, or according to faith, or according to relevant customs, so as we believe they were dictated by Christ, or by the Holy Spirit, or by the continuous succession of the Catholic Church”).
