THE TRUE MEANING OF CHRISTMAS -- PART TWO




When, in the Christmas story, you are told of the Virgin Birth, it is to the birth of Humanity that the story refers, not to the birth of the Nazarene. The Nazarene was not born outside Natural Law: he was born from the union of man and woman.


Humanity´s Evolution

On Earth perfect Man, if I may call him that, lived and dwelt with the angels, with those beings of perfection who transmit the will and love of your Creator around His Universe. For aeons of time Man dwelt in perfection with the angels. Then, for reason which I will not go into now, for you cannot conceive of them, it was decided by the Lords of this Solar Body that to further Man´s evolution, to enable him to advance his consciousness, to be a perfect imitation of his Creator and to exemplify His wisdom and His knowledge, Man was to be given the divine gift of free choice. He was to use this gift to advance his consciousness. He would, by exercising his free choice, learn. He would learn right from wrong, light from darkness, joy from sadness, goodness from evil, and through aeons of time he would advance his consciousness along the slow path of evolution.

Whilst recognising that this was not an easy task, not something which could be accomplished in the twinkling of an eye, but at the same time remembering that spiritual time is timeless, Man was reborn on the Earth possessing the inherent qualities of his Creator. He had to develop them, he had to perfect them, but he possessed, just as each of you do today, the potential of his Creator. It was up to Man, as he incarnated on the various levels of existence within this Solar Body, to advance his consciousness.

Because of the nature of his task, Man was not to be alone. He had the angel hosts to guide and advise him, as well as the beings who dwelt on the other planets of the Solar Body who had been in existence long before him. They may not be fulfilling similar functions to those of Man on the Earth, they may not have the same forms of life as Man, but in their particular evolutionary fields they have advanced a long way and so are able to help Man if he so desires.

Gift of Creation

When he was given free choice Man was also given the gift of creation. He was one of the few sparks of consciousness in this Solar Body who was given the right to reproduce himself. Man could create when he wished. This was a gift to which the angels, who were sent to guide him and who walked hand in hand with him, were attracted, for they do not possess it. So, as you read in Genesis, the first sin took place when some of the angels cohabited with Man and created from their own consciousnesses rather than in imitation of their Creator. From that moment erroneousness, imbalance and disharmony were introduced onto the Earth and Humanity lost its spiritual purity.

Lack of Understanding

Aeons of time went by as Humanity slowly evolved and developed its consciousness. Civilisations rose and fell. There were periods of great spirituality followed by periods of darkness when the love of your Creator was not reflected by His servants on the Earth. As great civilisations came and went Humanity, through its greed for material possessions and desire for power over its fellow human beings, through its lack of understanding of the true nature of both its and the Earth´s existence, through its inability to see beyond its present life, reduced the vibratory level of the Earth to the stage where it was so much out of balance that it was affecting the other members of the Solar Body.

As a consequence, the Lords of the Solar Body met with the Lord of the Earth to decide what should be done so that Humanity could be shown the error of its ways and could be redeemed, so that Humanity could see the purpose of its existence on the Earth and could see what it had to achieve and the way in which it could achieve it. Your Creator, Who so loves this planet, this reflection of His love, then made the supreme sacrifice by offering to send a part of Himself onto the Earth to show those who dwelt on the Earth the example they had to follow.

This spark of life, this aspect of consciousness, the wisdom of your Creator, was called THE CHRIST. So you will see that the term Christ does not refer to a man. The Nazarene was not The Christ. THE CHRIST IS A PRINCIPLE, A REFLECTION OF THE WISDOM OF YOUR CREATOR.

The Christ Principle

Throughout the Ages, as civilisations, came and went, as the astrological influences on the surface of the Earth changed, as the four major races came and went and fulfilled their functions, so the Christ Principle was sent down at intervals onto the Earth through the aid of great Masters, such as the Nazarene. These great Masters offered to come down to ground the Christ Principle upon the Earth so that Humanity could see the Christ Principle demonstrated for it. The Nazarene is not the only Master who has demonstrated the Christ Principle. Western Civilisation is not the only civilisation to have had the Christ Principle demonstrated to it. It has been grounded many times, for with the birth of every new Age the Christ Principle is demonstrated so that Humanity may be presented with the example which it may follow according to its point of consciousness.

Obviously, today, you are only aware of the Christ expression as It was displayed by the Nazarene for the Piscean Age. You are rapidly approaching the end of that Age, and with the dawning of the Aquarian Age the Christ Principle will be grounded once again. There will be a return of The Christ.

Part Three follows....
