Star of Christ the Spiritual Hope of Man
Dec 18th, 2009 by admin
Previous to the coming of Christ, the Earth was worked upon from without, as the Group Spirit works upon the animals. Christ came to work from within. Before that, when neophytes were to be brought in touch with him, they could see, in that Holy Night, the Star of the Christ, just as the Immaculate Virgin was on the Eastern horizon, and the little Sun-child of the coming year was starting towards the Northern hemisphere, to save us from the darkness, hunger and want that would result without him. Then these Wise Men could see the Star, in the Holy Night, which is the spiritual hope of man as the physical sun then born is his material savior.
Do not think it shone only at that time; it is easier now than then to see it, for when Christ came he altered the vibrations of the Earth and is changing them all the time since. He “rent the temple veil”–He made the Holy of Holies–the place of initiation–open to “whosoever will!” From that time on, there is no more trance needed–no more subjective states in order to go through initiation. There is a conscious going forth into the Temple, by every one who wills to come.
And in time that religion which He brought to us will drive away all the sorrows; will dry the tears from all eyes. Where there has been war, there will be peace, and as sure as he came to bring that sword that shall liberate man from the national spirit and make him an individual that is capable of being a brother to every man, so surely as He came to do this work, so surely as the first part of His prophecy has been fulfilled–so will that other grand and glorious prophecy be fulfilled, that men shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks.
