No study is more important than that of the self. ‘If you would ask me’, Elihu teaches in The Aquarian Gospel, ‘what to study, I would answer: study yourself; and when you will have studied
it, and then would ask me what to study next, I would reply, still yourself.’ [Chap. 8, verse 14] ‘He who knows well his lower self, knows the illusions of the world, and knows of the things that pass away; and he who knows his higher self, knows God, and knows well the things that cannot pass away. Thrice blessed is the man who has made purity and love his very own; he has been ransomed from the perils of the lower self and is himself his higher self.’ [Chap. 8, verse 15] In the One and Infinite Creator, we distinguish the attributes of Power, Intelligence and Love. The Aquarian Gospel explains that there are three forms of consciousness:
- The consciousness of the omnipotence of God and man;
- The Christ-consciousness or the consciousness of the divine love;
- The consciousness of the Holy Breath, or supreme intelligence
