The cosmic cross of white fire is really you because the vertical line is the fire descending from your Presence, and the horizontal bar is your extension of that light into the physical octave. The cross is the symbol of the manifestation of God, or man. And the cross is the sign of the path of initiation, and we can't pass our initiations unless we're centered in the heart of the cross which is the place of the Sacred Heart. When we get out of alignment with our reason for being, which is this vertical descent of light…we get off the cross…When we get off the path of the cross, we aren't internalizing the Word. When we keep the cross before us we know that we must be fastened to that cross, not as crucified but as the incarnation of the Word.
