I grew up hearing that before the resurrection of Jesus Christ, animal sacrifices in the temple were necessary as an atonement for sin, and that the crucifixion of Christ made that unnecessary.
In the context of esoteric Christianity the idea that Jesus had to be crucified so that God could forgive our sins doesn’t make much sense. What then was the purpose of the blood sacrifices in the temple?
I read Master Samael saying that it was a corruption introduced by the false prophet Ezra. But animal sacrifice is mentioned in so many places in the old and New Testament. Was Ezra’s bad influence so widespread that he is responsible for all of that? Is the Bible really that corrupted? Or is there some other meaning to the sacrifices?

"Ancient Asian sages discovered within the psyche of every individual two sacred substances which they denominated Abrustdonis and Helkdonis.
The ancient sages stated that by intelligently transmuting these two metaphysical substances the sacred vivifying substance named Askokin is liberated.
Askokin is the substance with which this Great Nature is nourished. So, Mother Nature gives us life, yet She collects a very high price for it. She demands Askokin in exchange, yet if we do not voluntarily give this Askokin to her, then She snatches it by force, by means of great wars.
Nevertheless, if within every one of us the destructive factors that produce war did not exist, then Mother Nature would not need to utilize such a destructive system in order to snatch Her sacred nourishment through it.
By dissolving the psychological “I,” a permanent center of illuminated Consciousness is established within us, and then, we liberate the sacred Askokin by means of upright thought, upright feeling and upright action.
Unfortunately, modern politicians do not accept these concepts from the ancient sages and the scientific ignoramuses from this epoch of wiseacres are like the donkey that believes in the grass only because it can see it." - Samael Aun Weor

Animal sacrifices symbolized the death of the ego. But this teaching degenerated into black magic, the literal sacrifice of innocent animal elementals.
Sacrifice the animal in you so Christ can be born in your heart.

For thirty years I sought God. But when I looked carefully I found that in reality God was the seeker and I the sought. -Bayazid al-Bastami
I heard in one of your lectures that animal sacrifices were necessary at that time in order to release askokin and keep mother nature from sending catastrophes, seeing as humans weren’t generating enough askokin from their being. How do you reconcile that teaching with saying it was purely black magic?
