The reason for the season of Christmas
is quantum. In comparative mythology, the twelve labors of
Hercules were astronomically reflected in the passage of the
Sun through the twelve signs of the sidereal constellations.
Hercules was a “Solar” hero. He represented the struggle of
the lower self to become initiated into higher
consciousness.
The path of the Sun through the Spring Equinox, the Summer
Solstice, the Autumnal Equinox and the Winter Solstice is
also reflected in the story of the birth and life of Jesus
the Christ here on Earth. At the Summer Solstice, we
experience the longest day and the shortest night of the
solar year. From that time of the year till the Winter
Solstice in December, every day is shorter than the day
before, and every night is sequentially longer. In fact,
during the Winter Solstice, we experience the longest night,
and the shortest day of the year. At both Equinoxes, the
night and day are of equal length.
This is why Christmas is celebrated here in December even
though it is not exactly on the Winter Solstice. It is the
virgin birth of the new Sun which is reflected into the fact
that every day is now longer than the day before. All the
solar myths are written around the celestial movement of the
sun through the sky. Yet, behind every myth is a human
spiritual application.
The Virgin Birth is the birth that must take place into our
hearts. The Christmas star is the star that arises in our
hearts and is born out of itself and through itself. The
Virgin Birth is the redemption of our conscious
identification with our lower ego, and brain, back to our
true divine origin. You must experience the Virgin Birth
within your own soul. Like the Sun that grows stronger with
each and every day, so is our spiritual growth a process
with cycles, and seasons of its own. The process starts with
our first encounter with the Higher Self also known as the
Holy Spirit, the Atman, and countless other names.
There have been many avatars (divine incarnations) in the
history of humanity. As a great seer once stated about them,
“The Gods incarnate periodically to rule over the humanity
of who they themselves are.” We are one with them all. All
the infancy narratives in the Gospels are symbolic stories
of our own inner rebirth of spiritual awareness. It is the
Christ Consciousness that must be born-again in our hearts,
as the rising morning star daily lights our world with life
and light.
Christmas is the celebration of our own Christ
Consciousness. Jesus the Christ came to Earth to show us who
we really are; the Co-Creators of our World. So to each and
every reader, I wish you a very special and significant
Christmas this year. The Christ Consciousness in us is the
hope of God’s glory in us all. You are the reason, for the
season, so let your light shine.
