Science of Light
literally is the knowledge and study of the Christ Consciousness, the spirit
of light of the beginning. The name,
"Science of Light" came from an Edgar Cayce reading given July,
1944 for a 45-year-old Social Science teacher. He was told to take the simple
story of Jesus of Nazareth as his study knowing that Jesus was the same
soul-entity who had been Jeshua, the scribe who had translated the rest of
the books of the Bible when reestablishing the worship of God on the return
of the Jews from captivity; that he had been Joshua, the mouthpiece of
Moses, the one through whom Moses received the
commandments; that he had been the entity Melchizedek, who manifested to
Abraham from the desire of Father-God to prepare an escape for man; that he
had been Enoch, who warned of the same, that he had been Adam and the Spirit
of Light of the beginning. In his study,
the teacher was to understand why the spirit of life, the spirit of light, of
hope, and of desire to know the truth, must be greater than scientific proof,
and yet it [the study of the spirit of light, etc.] is the science of light,
of truth, of love, of hope, of desire, of God. The teacher was further told that, "Science
and religion are one when their purposes are one." [5023-2] In the study of
the spirit of life, light, truth, love, hope, and God, Science of Light
Ministry encompasses the Temple of the Revelation and a Seminary to train
ministers. |
