To my mind, it* is a clear description of the choice to be made at the Crisis-point, where +C†I~ is, and the taking of the cross and following in Christ’s footsteps is applicable to setting out on the Inner Circle for the first time: starting from Christ, one is also following his way back to him, which is why it seems (astonishingly and distressingly at first) that one has to leave Christ having only just found him.

The point, I think, is that at this stage one can only make progress by yet further travel, and that necessarily implies leaving the Christ-degree again. It is important to realise that because Christ is the incarnate form (or ‘Son’) of God the Father, who is the Form of the Formless or Spirit, he has the characteristics in some degree of Unity and Ubiquity or Immanence of God, and can therefore be with the Traveller in some sense wherever the Traveller is, even though the Traveller is not at the +C†I~ position of the Circles.

*[Matthew X.34-39; see last previous entry]
