With how divine an accent did her full low voice give him the name to which he had dared aspire! He was God and her God! He perhaps divined one part of the process through which her mind must have gone; but he could not find a word to answer, whether of acceptance or disclaimer. He turned pale, his heart sick. Had the recognition of his Godhood been too tardy?
He who has sufficient spiritual consciousness to desire the welfare of all, even though his own life and his own possessions were the price therefore, can not lose his life. Such a one is fit for immortality and his godhood is claimed by the very act of renunciation not as a reward bestowed for such renunciation. By the very act of willingness to lose the self we find the Self.
Nor was there ever, it would appear, any doubt in the mind of Jesus, of his right to godhood, while retaining, also, his self-consciousness. The intellectual superiority. The wonderful spiritual magnetism and attraction of his presence. The absolute, unwavering conviction of his mission, and of his immortality. The transfiguration, after his "temptation" and his prophetic vision.
Here is the prophet risen to Godhood the union of Two, transcendent through that heavenly mystery the adding of a Third! Doesn't it clear for you startlingly now? It did for me. Here is the Three in One in Jesus the Godhood of the Father, the manhood of the Son, and the Mystic Motherhood of the Holy Spirit. So in the radiance of the Trinity Jesus arose 'the first fruits of them that slept."
At first the godhood has not quite gone out of her, and "Woe! woe!" she cries, as she realises her fate. But womanhood is strong within her; she yields; hails Siegfried as the highest hero of all the world, and the opera ends. The music is nearly throughout the superb Wagner.
Going back for a moment, to a consideration of the earliest recorded religion of Japan, we find that Sintoism means literally "the way of the gods," meaning the way in which men who have become god-like, found the path that led thereunto, but as to exactly what conditions are represented by godhood, how indeed, is it possible for man to know, much less to express?
However, whether or not this applies to man in the first stages of his upward climb to the goal of attainment of conscious godhood, it most assuredly applies to those souls who have become aware of their purpose, and who have made a conscious choice of their karma. And of this class of souls, the world to-day has a goodly number.
Somewhere, far over to the east, was a handful of lost souls for whom she sometimes indulged in a sort of luxurious pity. But their loss, after all, was a part of the divine plan, and they would have the privilege of serving the glorified Saints, even though they were denied Godhood.
One betrayed his master and the other did likewise, only with far greater subtlety and wickedness teaching thousands to disbelieve his claims to godhood to regard Christianity as a crude compound of Greek mythology and Jewish tradition a thing built of myth and fable.
However, it is our contention that Buddhism, far indeed from postulating the assumption that individual consciousness is swallowed up in The Absolute, as is frequently understood by Occidental translators of Buddhistic writings, announces a calm and unquestioning conviction in the power of man to attain to immortality, and consequent godhood, through contemplation of faith in his own identity with the Supreme One.
