DONT SLEEP ON CHRISTMAS OR SANTA CLAUS

Ever wonder why the perennial fascination with Christmas andSanta Claus? Dont even believe its just materialism, or a kids trip, or a

Christian thing. Its essence has been taught and practiced since time immemorial

irrespective of sectarian religion, race, creed or nationality.

Normally, Christmas is associated with the birth of Jesus Christ. Santa is the mythical, jolly old

man who flies his sleigh through the air and delivers toys and gifts to kids around the

world. In spite of the increasing number of people who practice mainly the gift

giving side of Christmas, or feel estranged from religion, the lure of the holiday and

Santa remains constant.

The Spirit of Christmas

What, then, are the underlying, universal spiritual messages inherent in this iconic holiday that

enliven it and perpetuate its practice ? First, lets examine December 25th

, the supposed birthday

of Jesus Christ. Hardly anyone believes that Jesus was actually born on that day. However, the

day does have some esoteric symbolism.

First, understand that Christ was not Jesus physical, carnal body. Jesus the man was the

Word made flesh that dwelt among men. The Word or Christ, which is The only

Begotten Son.

Thus, Christmas is really a celebration of the Christ-Mass the glorification of the Holy Spirit

- that was epitomized by Jesus, that has been embodied in countless redeemers, saints and sages,

and that lies latent in you and me, ready to be realized.

The true gift of Christmas is the dawning light of the Holy Spirit in man.

In the northern hemisphere, Christmas dayDecember 25th

is the end of the winter Solstice

and the beginning of coming out of the darkness into the light as the days (light) start to get

longer. This symbolizes the growing flame of

enlightenment gifted to those open to receive it.

Sol-stice means Sun stand still. As the earthrevolves around the sun in an elliptical orbit, it

reaches the height of its arc at the Solstice, seems to

pause and turns back around in the other direction.

Imagine throwing up a ball in the air; it reaches its

highest point, seems to stop, and then comes down.

The approximate 4-5 days of the Solstice run from December 21 to December 25th

. December

21st

is the first day of winter and the shortest day of the year in the northern hemisphere. The

night is as long and as dark as it will be during the year. During the Solstice the ratio of day light

to darkness remains fixed until December 25th

when the hours of daylight start getting longer.

Symbolically, it is during the winter Solstice, culminating in Christmas,

that we receive the true gift of Christmasa degree of enlightenment, in

the form of what the masters call Divine Revelations. With these

revelations we can symbolically make New Years resolutions that have teeth.

So, in this context, Christmas is just symbolicmeant to awaken us to a deeper, profound

mystery. To understand that better, let us turn our attention to the symbolism of Santa Claus.

The True Identiy of Santa Claus

Believe it. There can symbolically be no Christmas without Santa Claus. As the Christ in

Christmas represents the Holy Spirit, Santa symbolizes the saint as Word-Made-Flesh dwelling

among humanity. It is the saint or Godman who delivers the true gifts of Christmasthe

Christ-Mass, in the form of the Divine Revelations of light, sound and Soma (bliss). These

serve as food and nourishment for the soul.

Santa, the omnipresent saint, flies in His light body, accompanied by the elves

(Divine Revelations or angels), and delivers them to the spiritual children who

believe in and accept the guidance of the Godman.

Santa lands on each roof topthe Crown Chakra or Kopavi of the initiate

the place where consciousness enters and leaves the human being. Santa or saint

then travels down the Chimney or spiritual pathway to the fireplace, which is symbolic of the

Third and Single Eye, between and behind the eyebrows. This is where the true seeker begins to

see inner light and hears the jingle bells or divine inner sound current, manifesting as the gift

of Divine Revelations.

The Christmas tree represents mans ganglia or etheric body pathways super

imposed over the spine and body and lit up or vivified by the gift of Soma or

divine, blissful Soma. These serve to purify the soul and act as an antidote to

suffering and immunity to dis-ease states.

Again, the Divine Revelations of light, sound and Soma are the true gift ofChristmas or Christ-Mass. They are granted to the sincere seeker when in a

deep state of meditation - in the darkness of the night.

Christmas and its celebration, like many Holy-days, is merely a symbol of

the real thing. It, like many ceremonies, rites and rituals is only a reminder of

mans true purpose and destiny, to realize self and God while living on this planet.

The rebirth of the sun after the winter Solstice represents the resurrection of the born again

human being. This is the seeker who rises above body consciousness in meditation and awakens

in the spiritual sky (to worship in spirit and in truth) in route to the throne of God.

As Christmas and Santa comes each year, and the sun rises every day, man has a daily

opportunity to re-unite to God and become a conscious co-worker with the Lord. Therefore,

instead of simply berating the materialistic celebration of Christmas and Santa, use it as an

opportunity to strengthen your spiritual connection. Let the giving of gifts represent the same

selfless giving that the Lord bestows upon us as the gift of life, and the revelations that serve to

redeem us and unite us back to God. God-men and God-women agree that loving selfless

service and giving is one of the fastest ways to ascendespecially when done under the

guidance of a competent enlightened spiritual guardian. As they say, service to man is service

to God in man.

Are You Ready to Meet Santa?

As sure as millions of children around the world brim over with excitement at the prospect of

meeting Santa, so too should we consider how wonderful it would be to actually come face-to-

face with one of the several living enlightened beings who are present on earth today and ready

to deliver to us the true gift of Christmas.

So, without shame or equivocation I say to you, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
