The Birth Of The Christ...Within

 
"Though Christ a thousand times in Bethlehem be born
And not within thyself, Thy soul will be forlorn".
 
- Angelus Silesius -
 
The above quote has meaning to those with eyes to see and ears to hear. Silesius was referring to the awakening of the Divine Spark that sleeps within the heart of man. It is the Immortal Seed that must be touched by the Gnosis so that the Original True Man can be re-born.

This is the true symbolical meaning of Christmas. It represents the moment of the awakening of the Rose of the Heart. It represents the birth of the Christ within us. The Child (the Christ-Ray) is born in a stable, His mother resting on a bed of straw, surrounded by assorted beasts and humans. Here, the four kingdoms of the earth are represented: mineral, plant, animal and man.

The event symbolizes that which must occur within each of us, not after we die, but here and now, while incarnate on earth. We must prepare a place in our hearts to receive the Gnosis, the Christ-Ray. Once our Spirit-Spark atom has been touched by the  Gnosis, we are instantly re-linked with the Divine Kingdom from which we estranged ourselves. The Path of Return has begun, upon which we must continue to persevere until the Good End.

May you begin to recognize the true gnostic meaning of the Birth of the Christ, and understand that it is an invitation extended to you to do that which is necessary to provide a home for the Christ that literally sleeps within your heart.

In unity,
