The Qabalistic Interpretation of Christmas

This morning we're going to speak about the Qabalistic interpretation of Christmas.

The season is here. All the beautiful lights are being spread throughout our beautiful city.

So many homes are announcing the fact that they want to give a little brilliance, a little extra glory, that they want to share with every passerby that inspiration which the spirit of Christmas is meant to bring.

I hope that you, like I, when you drive by or walk by some of these little homes or larger homes and see these decorations, see the time and care that was put in to giving us this extra touch of beauty, I hope that you, like I, send them a little blessing and say thank you for sharing beauty whatever your motive.

The fact is they wanted to spread a bit of beauty to the rest of us and as we drive by we see it and I think that this is a beautiful and glorious thing. I do not think that anywhere in the world can we equal the sort of beauty that our Los Angeles Californians attempt to share with us.

As some have said, kooks we are, in mass, without question. We have everything from soup to nuts, and unfortunately we have so many nuts. And yet, part of that nuttiness is rather charming, as long as it isn't involved in the lower level responses to the emotional life of some people.

And of course, I think that here we have an example of an extraordinary kind of freedom from the usual conventionalism that holds people bound, imprisoned.

We have the kind of freedom that Jesus of Nazareth apparently had from all the stories we heard about him. He certainly did things that were unconventional, and the priests of that time were most incensed, as we know.

And isn't it always so?

Those who are out to hang on to the prisons of yesterday are very much incensed against those who have enough of the spirit of the true meaning of whatever it is we believe in or yearn towards. They are incensed because they want to keep things bound up in yesterday, and there are others who see yesterday as a promise for tomorrow, and who see yesterday as an inevitable development that brings us towards tomorrow. And of course from the cabalistic point of view such was jesus of nazareth the rabbi of nazareth who walked the earth apparently or under approximately 2 000 years ago now the thing we always like to remind you of doesn't matter how many times you've heard it remember hearing a thing once doesn't make you know it. Hearing a thing a dozen times doesn't make you know it, no, not even a hundred times.

Evolution is that drop by drop by drop development that wears away the stone, the rock, the pattern.

And so the fact that you may have heard something mentally, intellectually, once a hundred times, even a thousand times doesn't mean you know it we know nothing until we have experienced it from the deeper level of our being and we need to hear in every different way we need to go round and round the circle receiving the same idea from a new a novel point of view in order to finally get the old patterns smashed, smashed to the point where its energies reorganize themselves into the newer, the more evolved patterns.

And so, always at Christmas, we like to bring in the ideas that are involved with the true meaning of Christmas.

Do not ever think that because you heard it intellectually once or even because you experienced it emotionally once or more, that your whole being knows it yet.

Evolution, as we repeated, is something that is a step-by-step process that has to be a continuous deepening of the cup of comprehension of special ideas in order to reuse the older energies into the newer and more evolved point of view. So let's go on to the idea of Jesus, that which we think of as Christmas, that, incidentally, which was inaugurated by the Qabalists, that which was misinterpreted by the ignorant, the narrow-minded, the bigots.

We have often wondered, perhaps, what is sin? Some of us think we know, and how fortunate we are, if we think we really know, since every culture and every time has a different idea as to what sin is and is not according to that time and that climate.

But in occultism, and particularly in Qabalah, and our Eastern brethren very much are in agreement with us. There's really only one primary sin, and that's ignorance. Ignorance. Because it's through ignorance that we do the things we do. The fanaticisms, the mistranslations, the misinterpretations of truth. The agony of soul that we suffer. The miseries we create for ourselves. What do they come from? Really, ignorance. Those who perpetrate evil one upon upon another. Would they do it if they weren't ignorant? For example, if you knew that you were absolutely and completely one with your fellow man, and that whatever happened to him happened to you, and would inevitably bring repercussions, would you remotely be able to take advantage of your fellow man and pat yourself on the back and think how How smart you were.

You can see there, there's ignorance.

There's emotional ignorance as well as mental ignorance, remember. There's emotional infantilism as well as mental infantilism.

And both, the mind and the emotions, have to develop into a maturity before we can express that which is higher. So we all do things that are truly shocking every one of us because we are stumbling and staggering around in ignorance and we all do things that are glorious and beautiful because certain portions of ourselves feel at one with someone or many someone and so it is when we are growing up now then, this is the Christmas season and in this Christmas season we want to try to understand what Qabalah has to say about Christmas, about the birth of the Christ why do we want to know what Qabalah has to say about it? Well, I can give you one good reason and we really don't need any other because the whole idea of Christ was given to the world by Qabalah to begin with. And wouldn't you say that the ones who have given you a principle and a story are the ones who know it, understand it, can represent it and explain it, rather than the ones who picked it up second, third, and fourth generation later, in cycles that followed, using their own patterns, their own conditionings, giving their own misinterpretations, their own mistranslations, wouldn't you say that the ones who gave the story knew more about what they wanted in relation to this story, what it really meant?

Well, I'm sure you can see this. And then you may be asking, Well, what do you mean Qabalah gave the whole story of Jesus and the Christ to the world? What proof have you? We don't need to give you proof. Go to the library. You'll get it.

Here, we're out to give you the spirit of it. You will find the proof in any book on Qabalah that you want to look into, if it's a book written by someone who has been a true student, a true scholar.

This is known by all true scholars, that the whole story of Christ, the whole story of the virgin birth, the whole story of the Savior, the Messiah, was given to the world, incidentally, many hundreds of years years, before, I repeat, before the actual physical birth of the one we know as Jesus of Nazareth. In what way was it given and how? You see the Tree of Life before you. It is important to understand what is involved here. The Tree of Life, remember, is a symbolic diagrammatical representation of the involution of divine power and intention and will, and the evolution of this power into consciousness.

Now, the involution goes from the above down, and involution merely means that the divine selfhood, the one, the indivisible, is involving itself in very special vibratory conditions in order to bring about the evolution of centers of itself for self-consciousness, self-awareness, rulership, co-creativeness, and so on.

Because the one is the one with a capital O no matter how many many we may see as I like to point out to you so often the fact that I have so many different types of relationships does not take away from my oneness the fact that I am at one with every one of you at this moment whether you are loving it or not I hope you are because I do does not take away from my being one. A sharing with others does not take away from the individuality or oneness of our own central being.

And the one evolves from within itself many areas, infinite numbers of areas of unique self-expression. So in Qabalah, through the ages, not less than six thousand years at least, we have had the story unfolded of the involution of the one life, the divine, the selfhood, into the different vibratory aspects of its own being.

And from that, after involving itself into these vibratory images, mind you, because all must be image, God is consciousness God is life after involving itself it then evolves these centers of its own selfhood so that it has what? Children don't we love to look at our own children and say oh boy he or she takes after me especially when it's something we're proud of because if we're not proud of it we say the child takes after the other parent nice comfortable way to do it if you can get away with it and of course we all try to be comfortable but this isn't really injurious it's just part of the charm of the evolutionary factors that are involved and when we are aware of these principles we can with a chuckle say my child and all its perfect aspects takes after me, and every problem or failure in this child naturally is your fault, whichever the mate may be.

This doesn't change the true principle that we are all begotten of divinity.

And so let's see what Jesus of Nazareth really means, what the birth of the Christ really means in Qabalah. A story, remember, that was told before the actual physical aspect of Jesus of Nazareth walked the earth.

Now, I don't know how many of you realize this, but in the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, the entire story of the birth, life, and death of Jesus of Nazareth, there in these particular manuscripts called the Mashiach, which I'll explain to you in a moment. The entire story was told approximately four to six hundred years before, I repeat, approximately four to six hundred years before the actual outer manifested physical birth of Jesus is said to have taken place. How do we account for this very easily indeed when we know Qabalah as I have often pointed out to you those portions of the Bible which are the mystical aspects and the teaching training portions of the scriptures have to do basically with the prophets who were trained in the esoteric wisdom of Israel. It is from the esoteric wisdom of Israel that we have the entire story of evolution told in the symbolic language of the Tree of Life and its channels, now including also the Tarot keys, told in this way because, as most of us ought to know, we have different ways of interpreting a word or a phrase.

We react in different ways to verbal communication because verbal communication is very indirect. But the teaching training system of the Western mysteries, which happens to be the Qabalah, has always utilized that language which cannot be changed once you have a system of symbols with their perfect interrelationships. No matter how much some people may misinterpret and mistranslate, the very system of symbols, because they are in harmony with the basic language of your own inner self, language is basically for your subconsciousness, pictorial imagery. Imagery. And even our modern psychologists have discovered that all human beings, no matter where they live, no matter what they are, whether they come from the Antarctic or the Arctic, whether they come from the northern or southern hemispheres, whether they come from the various numbers of countries of the world, whether they have been divorced from other civilizations or not, all human beings dream in the same symbols. What does this mean?

It means that all human beings have an undercurrent of intercommunication.

All human beings are at one on a level which is communicable one with the other when we know the language of that underneath level. And the closest language we can have is the language of symbol until we directly experience our oneness with the Father, as Jesus taught. And yet it takes the use of this training of getting away from the verbal misinterpretations, mistranslations, and, incidentally, diabolical conditionings. I'm sorry to use such a word, but diabolical conditionings, I would say, definitely is an accurate term to use, that has come from the ignorant misunderstandings of a great and spiritual truth.

So we have, in the ageless and age-old Western mystery training, the entire story of the birth, life, and death of the Christ.

Look at the tree of life, please.

That whole tree of life is the birth, life, and death of you.

That whole tree of life is the symbolic story of the birth, life and death but not death really as we think of it as you'll see of all of humanity that is the story of evolution I repeat that is the story of evolution and what is the story of evolution the story of evolution is this that there is but one begetter that is there is but one cosmic father and one cosmic mother there is only one creator of all life and all of life is the begotten child or offspring of the Most High so that the birth of Jesus, the birth of the Christ, as told many hundreds of years and found in manuscripts bringing verification, is really the story of the evolution of that which is the begotten of the Most High. You have read in the Bible about the only begotten son of God have you not and you have been told that there was one man one physical man who walked the earth who was the only begotten son of God he was an exception he was not born incidentally of a father and a mother according to the story the Holy Spirit entered into the womb of Mary and she was with child and according to the story then Jesus was born in a way other than you and I you know it's kind of awful he had a mother and not a father physically speaking speaking, and that doesn't sound at all right to me. I hope it doesn't sound right to you, either.

Now, how can this be? Of course, there are some who say, well, I believe in miracles, and after all, haven't we in science tickled the ovaries of a little rabbit and found that by giving it a little electric charge, this rabbit has been able to give birth to little baby rabbits.

Only, incidentally, they're all hers. You can't get a him out of them. Did you know that?

I wonder if you realize this.

I deliberately bring up this point because wherever they have managed it also with frogs. Well, I say a human being is neither a frog nor a rabbit. At least let's hope not.

And the point is, wherever they have managed through the deliberate inculcation of some kind of electrical phenomena or some type of, you might call it irritation. It's a terrible idea, isn't it? That's what our scientists say. That they irritate the ovium. I think that that's being sacrilegious, by the way.

And anyway, this is what they say.

But the point is, at all times when this has been done, all that has occurred is that you've had female offspring. And of course, those who are super-feminists and think that God made a mistake when he made men, and of course men have an idea God made a mistake when he made women, so we'll have to go into that in our next course of classes, which we start in the middle of January, the point is that in the scientific experiments which have attempted this, you have at all times, sounds dangerous here, you have at all times had offspring where it has been able to be brought about in this manner that that were female.

All right, then. If there was some kind of psychic phenomena that brought about the impregnation of Mary, if we are thinking of this historical incident, which could have brought about an impregnation that did not require the union of herself with her dearly beloved husband, then surely she should have given birth to her Christ and not to a hymn Christ from everything that we know because you have to as it says in Genesis if you want to follow the biblical ideas it says in Genesis that God that is Yod-Heh-Voh-Heh-Elohim which means father, mother, deity and union opinion said let us make man and man really was Adam generic humanity in our image and in our likeness and I say that if you want to use a little reason and logic first then we'll give you the other aspect I think you should surely see that we have to have for physical manifestation the polarity expression in other words the masculine and feminine force now is that going to make jesus something less to us or something more let's go back to qabalah to understand the principles then let's try to see what it can mean to us here in qabalah remember as you look at the tree of life that upper triune triangle represents first in the white circle the Sephirah which is the emanation the one the indivisible the one life which starting to look into itself forms a center within itself in a cyclic motion and that center is really the working of the consciousness of this selfhood capital S, universal selfhood.

And in looking into itself, it sees the two aspects of its being. The two aspects of its being being masculine, feminine, day, night, light, dark, pair of opposites. And don't you go making any mistake by thinking of dark as bad.

Or if I could, I'd thank you.

I'm afraid you're stronger than I am physically but not perhaps in another way the thing I want you to please bear in mind is that the pair of opposites has to do with consciousness itself you cannot know anything except you can compare it to something else and according to Qabalah the one self is the principle that involves the two polarities, the two polarities being that which is force, masculine principle, that which is the principle of form, feminine principle.

Now this force and form, incidentally, have special names in Qabalah.

And here we're going to speak more specifically about the feminine form to give you an idea of immaculate conception.

Now, I don't know how many of you lost faith in the Bible because of that one story. Would you raise your hands? High. How many of you have accepted it as told? Would you raise your hands high? Not too many. But most of you, at least, who raised your hands. Those who didn't raise your hands at all just aren't telling, for whatever reason, which is all Now, the thing to bear in mind is that when the Qabalists gave their symbolic representation of creation, which had to do, incidentally, and does to this day, with initiation, and To this day, the Western mysteries have the initiations that go from step to step, helping the aspirant to develop the awareness of the various levels and phases of consciousness, right up to becoming fully at one with what we call the Christ consciousness, which we will explain more fully in a moment. When we give this particular story, please bear in mind that originally the story was given to the world by Qabalists, and that those who have been ignorant, remember what we said about ignorance, those who have been bigoted, those who have been intolerant, those who have had power complexes, those who have wanted to make sure that they get people together to keep them under their own domination, have always given their twists to these stories.

We're told that the Bible is the word of God.

Well, what do they mean?

Do they mean that 2,000 years ago and 3,000 and 4,000 and 5,000 years ago, God spoke directly and that these particular books we call the Holy Scriptures are the word of God and that everything that is in it must be taken literally?

Does it mean that we literally take all the stories of rapes and murders and power drives? Is this the word of God?

Does it mean that we take all these mistranslations from the ignorant and call it the word of God?

Look, the Qabalist knows that within the Bible we have glorious mystical messages, but you have to know the language to know what portion of the Bible is giving you your mystical story and what portion of the Bible is giving you history and genetics, all of which is interesting. If you love history, I'm sure you ought to be very interested in the battles that are reported, in the bigots you know there were an awful lot of bigots there which gives you a lot of the genetics and these are interesting bits of information for historians but I ask you is that any more the word of god than the bigots that you get in the uh um books that tell you who uh uh should be looked up to and bowed to because of being in the social register and who we should sneer at because they didn't get their name in the social register or got thrown out for marrying the wrong person or something where is the difference haven't we lost our sense of balance when we decide to take a group of books which were collated by human beings and say everything and this is the Word of God. Haven't we lost our balance when we do this? The point is, in the Holy Scriptures and in the Bible, you have a fantastic message, if you know what portions of it give you the teaching and the training. And the fantastic aspects have to do with the hidden wisdom of Israel, the initiatory training of the Western mysteries. Now, the Essenes were, before the time of Christ, a group of monastic peoples who were very much concentrated on the mystical training system.

Now, when I say the Essenes, I want you to bear this in mind. Today you have something you call whole Protestantism. Do you know how many denominations there are? I didn't stop to count them. I'm not good at mathematics. I'm sure there are more than I can handle.

Have you stopped to realize how many different denominations tell you you're going to hell unless you do it a very special way, unless you're sprinkled, or unless you're dunked dumped or unless you uh unless you uh get on your knees uh so many times a day rather than so many other times a day unless you are very careful to do something on a sunday or not to do it on a sunday actually sabbath is saturday they've forgotten saturday saturn seventh day seventh center from its original uh translation translations. But here we have an original teaching in its Aramaic, Chaldean, and Hebrew letters that have very specific meaning. Have you ever tried translating from one language to another to try to get a meaning across? Let me tell you, you'd have one job. I've tried it, and you know know what? It takes me something like one hour to get across a meaning in one language that I happen to know, which it takes two seconds to get across to somebody else who knows the language.

What do you think of that? Now, those of you who know different languages know this. This is the great value of knowing more than one language. You realize that how many extraordinary, subtle Subtle aspects are involved in communication.

So here we have texts of a great spiritual power and value given to us by the Qabalists that has to do with the involution of deity into a more and more concentrated form and then finally evolving itself so that it has completed its direct image and likeness of itself, self, the begotten son or begotten offspring, because son makes you think it's only a he, and you boys know that us girls are also of God, surely. It's really offspring, it's generic humanity that is involved here. So we have this story of evolution and what is involved. We have the initiatory processes but then we have a group of ignoramuses who pick up and take uh a glorious beautiful mystical teaching with its prophecies and they mistranslate it they give you something literal and they expect you to get inspired by saying that that somebody that the only way you can be saved is by for example the blood of the lamb Now, I ask you, how spiritual are you if you think that the blood of somebody is going to save you?

How much compassion and love are you showing if you can get exalted over that idea? Do you think that was really what was meant?

Do you really?

I hope not. I hope not.

But what is the blood of the Lamb? As a matter of fact, the Lamb has to do with the Aries era.

Zodiacally, we have every two thousand years the era that has to do with that particular sign when our solar sun, S-U-N, which is the offspring, S-O-N, of the universe, the Logos, which is a consciousness of which we are the conscious offspring, incidentally, when that That is traveling in its evolution spiral.

When Jesus of Nazareth was born, we came from Ares, the ram or a lamb, into Pisces and the whole 2,000 years of the Piscean age of the fish. Did you remember the fishermen?

Stories of fish and water all over the place, naturally. Entering from one cosmic era into the next for the evolution of all life.

So from Ares, the ram or the lamb, and during that era, incidentally, our humanity was still, shall we say, infantile enough so that they figured that a face lit throat and had some dripping blood, so they used to have these services to the gods where they would sacrifice a creature. And at that time the creature they sacrificed was the lamb did you know that the two thousand years before that what they sacrificed was the bull that's taurus taurus precedes aries and that's where you your bullfights incidentally are still leftovers of that atavistic period incidentally of the way unevolved uh humanity attempts to worship in trying to grow up in attempting to evolve and grow up. So first you have your... In every one of these cycles, there's approximately a 2,000-year cycle. So your blood of the Lamb was brought over into your Pisces. And so we are told that unless you believe in the blood of the Lamb, you can't be saved. Now, what do they mean by saved? What do they mean by saved? If you are part of deity and divinity, incidentally do you have to get saved how can you get outside of the one life that there is the real you see the translation was missed we were brought into ignorance because of a bunch of ignoramuses translating who did not know the actual language of the Qabalists they therefore took the outer ideas without knowing what was really being taught the actual evolutionary teaching basically from qabalah then is this look again at your tree the cosmic father is that gray circle the life force the one the cosmic mother is the black circle doesn't mean she's bad it means hidden mysterious and you boys know you love the mysteriousness of the feminine principle even though you may yell about it it's just because you don't understand it yet it still draws you and enchants you if it doesn't it will once you get once we get through with you you'll be enchanted by all of the divine glory because that's how we should be now that divine mother aspect of Qabalah has many names each of these sefiroth or emanations of God are a vibratory formula and in the initiatory practices we train you in getting tuned in to these vibratory formulas as we chant and especially if you have the good fortune to have a teacher who has already managed to develop that consciousness so that you are able then to transmit like through a telephone wire provided you have the wire going and our trance and vibratory formulas are aimed at building these wires now then this cosmic mother principle uh kabbalistically has many names and each name remember is a meditative formula to hold the consciousness round to keep it going round and round in order to awaken it to its own being to its own awareness its own realization now the the cosmic mother, kabbalistically, and remember your Bible and my Bible that has influenced the Western culture, this Bible has been those portions, that is, that have given us the qabalistic aspects of evolution have been mistranslated by those who didn't have the foggiest notion of what it meant to begin with, and all they did is stick in their own desire to hold down the expanding consciousness of humanity. What is the Cosmic Mother kabbalistically then? The different qabalistic names refer to these basic and I'm giving you exact translations. The Cosmic Mother is number one, the womb, I repeat, the womb of God. You remember Mary? She's also called the the waters or the great seas.

Incidentally, our Eastern brethren have the word Mara involved there. And from Mara to Mary, you get the idea, the great seas.

Also called the tearful, the sorrowful one.

Because it is the cosmic mother principle that holds in the womb the seed that would go out in all directions that holds it and grows it and tempers it in order to give birth to the consciousness.

Because, remember, it is Yod-Heh-Vo-Heh, father aspect, Elohim, mother aspect, Yod-Heh-Vo-Heh-Elohim, in union, that give birth to life, that is, to the Son of God, which is us. Son, in Hebrew, being Ben, meaning incidentally S-O-N as generic humanity because Adam is another name for it now for the son the offspring now what again is said of this divine mother that is your divine mother my divine mother she is the divine soul of the universe that is the divine soul you have is because the Divine Mother holds you in her womb. In case you want to know, you're not born yet.

I'm sorry.

You're in the divine womb of your Divine Mother and you're being grown. Now, I'll tell you when you're born.

You are born out of the womb of your Divine Mother when you have reached a point you are actually way down because remember the divine womb goes reaches all the way down isn't it shaped take a look at it do you see a sort of subtle shape to the uterus now if you think that that sounds unspiritual I think you better go to uh to one of the eastern schools that teaches you how to become really repressed and learn the lesson of deadness and no power so that you can come back in the next incarnation and worship the sanctity of the true holy ghost and utilize it with real beauty you know with real the real spirit of holiness this would be absolutely essential in order to be born again to become the christ which incidentally you are all destined to be which incidentally you really are it's a matter of becoming it consciously or unconsciously you wouldn't call that adorable child sitting there who I'm going to eat up alive later as I do whenever she comes it makes me sound real cannibalistic you wouldn't call her non-human because she can't do the things we can those of us who are grown up there are all sorts of things that child can't do at this point or that adorable look at look at him sitting there I'll eat him up too if you let me the point is these are glorious and adorable and lovable children but they certainly cannot be expected to do what we can do, can they?

All right now the Christ according to all Qabalistic teachings is really the conscious awakening to who and what you are which is really the second birth you've heard except he be born again gain he shall in no wise enter the kingdom of heaven didn't jesus say this himself all right now the divine mother the divine womb the great seas she's also called forever pure and undefiled isn't this being born of the holy spirit Now, there are some of you who've loved and loved deeply and been in union with your beloved, and you know God was in and with and through you. Some of you have not yet known this. You will one day, if you start reaching for this realization. This incarnation, next incarnation, and ask you in what difference you are eternal. But to the degree you point your consciousness properly, to that degree will you bring it more intensively and more rapidly, at least in terms of time and space.

However, the virgin birth has other meanings. What is meant by virgin? Now, I know Dr. Case used to love to point out that the original Aramaic and Hebrew word for virgin means just merely young woman. However, Kabbalistically it has more than that. It was just his little imp of mischief, which is a good one to have in order to help knock down patterns of nonsense that keep us tied to ignorance and devolution instead of putting us into evolution. The point is, born of the virgin really means born of that spirit of life which is elohim and that is something we all have within us because we are all the divine soul every single one of us are an aspect of the divine soul made in the image and likeness remember but at different stages of our growth we have then another thing to consider in relation to Christ. Where does the word Christ come from? Remember, from Qabalah. Christ is the Latin for the Greek Christus. The Greek Christus is the Greek interpretation or translation of the Hebrew and Aramaic Mashiach. Mashiach is Messiah and or or Christ.

Now, what does that mean further? It means the Redeemer. It means the Anointed. Now, what is the Redeemer, and what is the Anointed?

The Redeemer is that part that is reborn in us. The Redeemer is that part of us which we call the Savior. You do you think that a man who walked the earth 2 000 years ago if you believe that he came to save you that that's all you've got to do if you ever believed it you found out you still keep getting into trouble haven't you and isn't that the most beautiful excuse that anyone can have if they say well uh as long as I believe that jesus came to save me uh well I can do anything I'd hate to tell you how many people use that as a subconscious excuse then they go ahead and they're very sorry and they uh they confess to either themselves or somebody else uh and they decide they've cleansed themselves of their sins because after all somebody came two thousand years ago to save them look two thousand years ago someone came and the prophecy was made his name shall be called Emmanuel which means God with us God in us two thousand years ago there was born on this planet a soul of being vast and glorious trained in the the hidden wisdom of Israel. Two thousand years ago, a son of Israel went through the disciplines of Qabalah, of a special school of Qabalah, because just as though, just like there were many Essene monasteries, like you have many Protestant denominations and and umpteen more of what you might call Christian denomination, he was trained in a very special, the school that we still are teaching from, through, and with, that which Bill of the Additum represents today.

I don't ask you to believe it.

I just ask you to think about it.

Two thousand years ago, there was a son of Israel who took and went through the disciplines, who had achieved an evolutionary level where he was able to break through the ignorance.

He was able to break through to the point of not only knowing who and what he was, begotten son of the Most High, but because he knew that, he also knew who you are and who I am.

And since then many have broken through that veil of illusion and delusion and have been able to say I am the begotten child of the Most High.

Since then we have had more and more of a development of what we call the masters of wisdom who are what?

They are those who have achieved conscious awareness of their christhood they have been born of the virgin in other words the divine soul the divine mother of us all has grown her child and therefore the child is able to walk the earth and shed life and healing and give love and when necessary use the whip to whip money changers out of the temple. To walk with awareness and spread this awareness and every single child of the Most High, we are the only begotten. Do you think that one individual could be an only begotten? We are the manifestation and the begotten even though we may still be embryos in different stages but if you are here you're perhaps in your labor pain and let me tell you it is the divine soul that labors and is in pain nothing is done alone as Jesus himself said and he said it with such complete meaning he said I am the son of man doesn't that tell you something shouldn't that show you the reality of the intent of this story isn't it far more glorious to know that everything that lives is a spark of the divine that we are all immaculate conceptions and by immaculate conceptions you know by now what I mean.

If you don't, you will as we go along together in future talks and classes.

By now, should you not realize then that surely to walk in the way that Jesus showed us in love, in acceptance, in dedication, he, this rabbi of Israel who came to show those who were ready that we are all children of God and must work towards it he who was persecuted by the intolerant as all of us always are all of us are always persecuted by the intolerant don't you think it's ridiculous ridiculous, that the kind of nonsense that a couple of fanatics and those who wanted power over our minds, that they should have tried to tell us that this glorious occurrence, that Jesus was an exception, don't you think it is horrible that they should make us hopeless?

Because wouldn't it make us hopeless if a child of God were an exception rather than and the rule. Jesus never said he was an exception. Everything that Jesus taught was full of beauty and glory. And when you understand the Qabalah as you're being taught to here more and more, you will see that a lot of nonsense has been put into the Bible by those people who retranslate and retranslate for their own purposes. But you'll be able to pick it out when you know the language, Qabalah remains forever pure and undefiled because it remains forever in the heart of the Divine Mother. And you, and you, and all of you, are forever pure and undefiled, no matter what you've done, no matter where you've been, no matter how your your heart's sorrows or grief.

This has just been the necessary part, necessary for you in the growing up from the crawling, the spluttering stages of your infancy. Your Divine Mother is giving you birth now, right now.

Some of you are already barely out of the womb and starting to glow the stars shining and all the wise men are gathering towards you to bask in your presence already many of us right here have been born in the manger the stable you know what the stable is in qabalah the violet Sephirah which is the animal consciousness it is out of our animal consciousness which we learn to rule that's why jesus is called king We are kings. We rule our animal consciousness.

We become sublime. It is our destiny.

This is the season when we sing. We sing and we rejoice. Holy, holy, holy.

Not because somebody 2,000 years ago was born, but because somebody 2,000 years ago was born who was able to show us that we are the same.

Brothers, sisters of the flesh, of the soul, of the spirit.

We should sing hallelujah, hallelujah together because he came to show us, not because he was different from us. Let's say he was an older brother.

I love older brothers and sisters. My older sisters done lovely things for me.

We're very lucky we have an older brother. We adore our older brother. And we worship God.

And so we, together, we rejoice as we say, ours is the eternal life. It has been shown.

One of us came.

One of us came and proved there is no death.

And it has been proved over and over again since. One of us came and proved that love reigns supreme one of us came and showed us what we are destined to be and so let's rejoice this Christmas together and with others not because of somebody else but because we are kin with that someone this is being one with the Christ Spirit this is being one with the hidden wisdom of Israel the Mashiach this will wipe the tears from our cheeks weep not for the dead live for the living rejoice for the spirit and the holiness that has been given us that we are blessed with I would, I could have said so much more but together let's worship the Christ in ourselves in all the universe to the outermost reaches of space to the innermost essence of our hearts and know that from forever to forever we are one and can sing holy, holy Hallelujah.

Hallelujah.

Let's bow our heads in silent prayer.

I am the star of Bethlehem I am the Sun warming the infinite areas of life I am the offspring of infinitude my soul is in union with the most high my father and I are one Who is my mother?

Who is my father?

O Thou Almighty One, Thou art my all.

I sing my song of praise to Thee, O Thou Infinite One.

I am the prodigal returning to thee I am the spirit coming to life for thee I am the joy bursting into song Amen you
