Christmas: The Eternal Story.

"I PRAY THAT ALL MAY BE ONE" - Master Jesus

The story of Christmas is eternal. It has been celebrated at the end of the Winter Solstice since the beginning of time. In fact, all the great world saviours were supposed to have been born of virgins without any intermediary.

They were all supposedly born on December 25th. They were all sons, that is, they were all mythical Suns. They include, Tammuz, Mithra, Zeus, Horus, Krishna, Buddha, Zoroaster and the Master Jesus.

The nativity story of Hare Krishna is very striking. About five thousand years ago, according to the myth, a virgin by name Devaki conceived immaculately and gave birth to a baby boy on December 25th. He was born in a cave where animals feed. Lights surrounded this sacred place. Shepherds paid him homage. Astrologers (wise men) visited him. The then, king Kamsa was told about a new king who has been born. Hearing that, he set out to kill all babies two years and under who had been born in the province. Fortunately, Devaki and her betrothed husband Vasudeva were informed by an Angel to take the baby boy to safety. They therefore fled to Gokal and stayed there until it was safe for them to return.

Now, about two thousand years ago, according to the myth, a virgin by name Mary, conceived immaculately and gave birth to a baby boy, called Jesus on December 25th. He was born in a manger (stable) where animals feed. There were lights all around. Shepherds were watching their flocks and came to pay homage to this newborn son. Wise men (Astrologers) from the East visited him and gave presents. The then, king Herod was told about the birth of this new king. Fearing this baby will be a future threat to his kingship, he ordered the killing of all babies two years and under in Judea. Mary and her betrothed husband Joseph were warned in a dream to take the child to safety. They then, took the baby boy and fled to Egypt. This fulfilled the prophesy in the Old Testament, “Out of Egypt have I called my son (Sun). They stayed in Egypt till the death of Herod. They then returned to their native land. The two nativity stories, like all the others are identical because it is an eternal story that belongs to all mankind. The allegorical Jesus said correctly that, “I pray that all may be one – Universal Brotherhood”

The story of Christmas was written in the Sky millions of years ago and is also written in our Anatomy. Here is the Cosmic script. In the first Book of the Christian Bible; Genesis chapter one and verse fourteen (KJV), we read, “And God said, let there be Lights in the firmament of the Heaven to divide the day from the night; and led them be for signs (Astrological signs) and for seasons, and for days and years” (the Zodiac). Then, in the Book of Isaiah chapter seven and verse fourteen, (KJV) we read; “Therefore the Lord Himself shall give you a sign (Astrological sign); behold a virgin (Virgo) shall conceive and bear a son (Sun) and shall call his name Emmanuel”. And again, in Isaiah chapter nine verse six (KJV), we read; “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son (Sun) is given, and the government shall be upon his shoulder; and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace”.

The Sun is impregnated in the Celestial sign Virgo every year without any intermediary. And during the months of October, November and December, it descends and travels inside the earth. It reaches the depth on December 21st (Winter Solstice). It stays there for three days and on December 25th, it rises again. It is reborn between Sagittarius (horse) and Capricorn (goat). Hence, it is born in a stable, manger or cave where animals feed. When the Sun is born, the Celestial sign Virgo is on the Ascendant. There is always Light from the constellations, and a Star is seen in the Heavens. Seers (Astrologers) work out and find this star, for the Lord Himself gives them the Astrological sign and pay homage to this newborn Sun in the Sky. December 25th is therefore truly, the birthday of the Spiritual Sun.

Capricorn is the sign of Governments (also leaders – Kings), so certainly, the Government is always upon the Sun’s shoulders. The Sun is a wonder in the Sky and Prince of Peace. Also, Capricorn is the sign of the Cosmic Christ, a good shepherd. As Saturn rules Capricorn, there is always great winds in January in frantic efforts Cosmically to kill this Light bearer. But it always escapes and continues its trajectory through the Zodiacal signs until it reaches Virgo again after sitting at the right side of the Father in the sign Leo (The Lion of Judah), and the whole cycle starts again. Year after year!

The Sun is indeed the Saviour of the world. Every year, it gives of Himself to the utmost. The Sun gives to the Earth, new Life, new Light and new Impetus. Without these new infusions, life would be unbearable for all its inhabitants including humanity. We are all grateful and thankful from the bottom of our hearts for this yearly Cosmic birth of the Sun in the Sky. Nature is Wonderful!

The Hermetic aphorism says, “As above, so below, and as below, so above”. There is also the Anatomical script – The Christmas WITHIN. The Sun’s energy is in the Solar Plexus of every human Anatomy. When we live the life and do the correct exercises, it begins to ascend through the spinal canal and reaches the head. There, it impinges upon the Pituitary and the Pineal Glands (Electricity) and the inner conception takes place –the ‘incorruptible seed’. But as the left brain is always too busy with our material needs, there is no room there for the Christ child to be born. The child is hence born in the quiet place in the mind where the animal natures have been subdued and have become calm and tender – Virgin Consciousness. We become the shepherds and watch our thoughts, so that no destructive thoughts harm this new child WITHIN. The Allegorical Jesus again said, “What I say to you, I say to all, WATCH”. Then, there will be Light from the Pineal Gland (Christmas tree) in our heads, and a Higher Light (Star) will enter our own inner stable. Again, we will receive gifts of Wisdom, Enlightenment and Understanding from the East – The Invisible realm.

When this child is born WITHIN, he will take upon his shoulders the government of our lives. He will remove all Fears, Worries, Chaos, Sickness, Hatred, Sorrow, etc, and then, will help us to live a life of Selfless Service to humanity. This child will direct us to develop Love, Kindness and Compassion and show them to an inclusive humanity, Nature and all God’s creations. Then, we will have everlasting Peace WITHIN ourselves and will radiate this peace to the whole world. Angelus Silesius has said, “Although Christ a thousand times in Bethlehem be born and not WITHIN thyself, thy soul will be forlon”.

Silent night, Holy night

All is calm, All is Bright

Round Yon Virgin, Mother and Child

Holy Infant, Tender and Mild

Sleep in Heavenly Peace

Sleep in Heavenly Peace.
