About this ebook

The author of the Initiate Trilogy reveals Jesus of Nazareth in a new light and gives the key to many of his “dark sayings” and teachings.

Who was Jesus? The Indians say He was a great yogi, the occultists and Theosophists say He was a great initiate of the arcane science, while Spiritualists regard Him as a great medium or a very high guide. In this remarkable book, Cyril Scott reveals Jesus of Nazareth in a light unknown and unsuspected by many, providing the key to the “dark sayings” and subtle teachings of Jesus that have been misinterpreted and misunderstood by Christianity throughout the ages. While many people have interpreted the exoteric teachings of the bible over the years, Scott reveals some of the more esoteric teachings in his The Vision of the Nazarene.

    THE PARABLE OF THE ROPE AND THE RIVER

    Prolonged and deep had been my meditation, so deep that my soul had left my body.

    And I was transported to a garden in a country far away from my dwelling-place. Yet was that garden familiar to me, and the faces of some of those who walked therein as they conversed lovingly together, for oftentimes had I been in that garden before. And I stood beneath the spreading branches of a great cedar-tree, and watched, and waited, knowing that I had come to this sanctified place for a purpose. And presently towards me along one of the paths came that Great One Whom I had always desired to serve. And as He approached, I was dazzled by the resplendence of His aureole, which was of surpassingly beautiful colours suffused with gold.

    And He embraced me, and said: My son wouldst thou serve me again as thou didst serve me in the past? ¹

    And I answered: Gladly will I do so, if only I may know in what way it lies in my power?

    And He smiled and said:

    I will tell thee a parable. Know that once there were two countries, and the one was a land flowing with milk and honey, and the other an arid region, full of strife and unrest, so that the one was called the Land of Bliss and the other was called the Land of Woe.
