Sabbath, The Seventh Degree

[Ms Tercy Lonan]

SABBATH, THE SEVENTH DEGREE
The seventh and final degree is called “the complete,
independent creature,” which wants to receive and perceives
itself as a receiver. It is the final phase of every degree. It is
also our root.
This degree cannot correct itself, for it is a concentration
of egoism, its foundation. Only after it experiences the
preceding six corrections (days of creation) does it acquire the
ability to “absorb” them within and adopt their qualities.
Therefore, the objective of the “Seventh Day” is to take
all that was created and accumulated during the preceding
six days and produce a finished, independent creature.
This seventh degree is called “the Sabbath.” It is a special
day because in this state, the souls are filled with the Upper
Light. The only condition is to not interfere with this process,
symbolically represented by the laws of the Sabbath. You put
down the oars and go with the flow toward the Light. You
submit to these laws and thereby keep your ego in the “off”
position. It is also written, “He who works for six days will

have food on the seventh.” This means that if you’ve worked
on your desires through the six degrees, six millennia, you
will receive all that’s been prepared for you by the Creator.
This is the Upper, Divine Light of abundance and delight
