Lion of the Desert
A degree of spiritual attainment denoting, above all, absolute fearlessness.
When humanity will realize the great unity between Infinity and the particles, and know the mutual relationship between light and darkness, then may it be told of the path of the ‘Lion of the Desert.’ (INF I, 17)
Certainly one may imagine how greatly interested We are in those organisms which have already stepped beyond the degree of the ‘Lion of the Desert’.
(HIER, 257)
The realization of the finiteness of the Universe, combined with the realization of the limitless principle of space, belongs to those questions which the pupil must resolve himself. This is called Summa Summarum. To aid the realization of these conceptions of space, milestones are set. But the formula must be pronounced independently. The formula corresponds to the degree of “Lion of the Desert.” It demonstrates the rending of oneself from Earth and earthly possessions. In order to comprehend the separate spheres there is needed the realization of this formula. (AY, 91)
The degree of the “Lion of the Desert” especially permits fulfillment of thought. Therefore one must be particularly cautious. The degree of the “Lion of the Desert” knows no offense. Who could offend? The great heart can contain all. (AY, 110)
