    Few concepts in the world today are misunderstood as terribly asreligious concepts. It is interesting that many people who look withdistain upon previous generations due to their so-called misguidedreligious beliefs are, in fact, holding within theirown mind many erroneous and incongruentreligious concepts which they pay absolutely noattention to. So it is with the mystery of Christ.

    What is a mystery anyway? It is, grammaticallyspeaking, something that is covered by the mist.From this point of view, it is very poignant tosymbolically portray a mystery as something hiddenby clouds, such as the many artistic depictions of Jesus or Jehovah produced throughout thecenturies. These painting are beautiful, they inspireus, they touch our heart in a way that no amountof book learning or memorization of religious orphilosophical concepts could ever do. In other words, they arereligious . Religion means to rebindones essence to the true nature of reality.

    Obviously, few people have any idea of whatreal religion is supposed to be. Until we achieve

    religion, then indeed there will be many mysteries within it. But, understand that the actual mist orhaze that veils everything is not something outside,but rather something within us, something which could besummarized as the quality of our mind.

    When our mind is hazy, the events of life transform into manyproblems. Normally, any John Doe has a life full problems, andlikewise, a mind full of confusion. Furthermore, there is a lack of

    skills within him to accurately assess his situation, and he thereforemiscalculates the origin of his problems to be factors that exist outsideof his own state of consciousness. In other words, he blames other

    people, the world, or God himself. He complainsabout other people. He repeats himself and never cango beyond the same problems.

    Firstly, we have to recognize that we have apsychology. Then we will understand that we are who

    we are, and do what we do, based upon an immeasur-able number of minute factors which culminate intothat thing called me. It culminates into an entitythat responds to a name and which has a sense ofself, which seems to exist, paradoxically, as a whole,integral, and concrete thing.

    Do you see the paradox? The person, me, neverseems to grasp within the moments of its action, thatits own action is actually based upon an incalculableinterdependent matrix of factors which defy anypossible description. And yet, we tend to hold aconcept that I am me, and I will always be me. Thisis a lie, whether we know it or not. In reality, that

    thing called me is actually more like hundred storybuilding with thousands of people within it: some who are leaving, others who are entering, some who

    are growing old, and other who are growing up, some who are friends with others, and the others who are enemies. And it does not matterif our physical body is awake or asleep, in a coma or dead, the somepsychological building remains to exist and to constantly change.

    Can you imagine this for a moment? Can you imagine all of theminteracting with each other, and the countless relationships betweenthem all? Can you imagine all of the conversations going on at once?Our psychology is very much like this, except much more complex. Within our self are many selves. This is why we contradict our ownself. This is why with have conflict within our self.

    It is in this way that our mind is a mystery to our own self. Atfirst glance such statements may appear to be false, yet, it isindubitable that with further analysis, the truth becomes self evident.The main problem is, as we have stated earlier, no one todayhas equipped the mind of man with the tools to self-discover the nature of his own self, which in turn allowshim to live with very ignorant views of his own self. Eventhough the same problems haunt his days and nights, it isbecause of his self-ignorance that he does not evenremotely suspect what must change in his life in order torelieve his aching heart and tormented mind. He believesthat something must change, but the object at which he pointstowards is always the wrong thing, because he is very superficial withhis analysis.

    What we normally call man and woman is really quite a

    stretch of the term, because a real man or woman is someone who hasan equilibrated and awakened psychology. That quality of person isextraordinarily uncommon to find. What we find instead are beasts with intellect, or what perhaps is more pleasantly termed asintellectual animals . If the world was full of real men and women,then war would be impossible, adultery, and murder would beunimaginable. These are crimes against humanity, which is enough

    evidence to declare that humanity is not really what this worldpossesses. It is something else, something that is below humanity.

    A culture is something that is cultivated, something that is takencare of, something that is grown. Any scientist that grows a culture inthe lab does so with a determined purpose. Every individual, every

    world, every humanity has a purpose. Christ is like a scientist in thisregard, because that which is called Christ has placed all of the cosmicspheres into order so that the individuals within it can create a neworder within themselves. Yes, we, who are endowed with a mind of

    reasoning, and a body capable to comprehend the nature ofreality, have to transform the Choas into Cosmos (order).This is what Christ is interested in.

    Christ is a word which meansanointed one , from theGreek chrestos . Let us understand that Christ is not anoun, but a Verb. It is like energy, like movement, like

    fire, like light. It is the Logos, the Word. Christ is not aperson, or a God, because Christ is beyond God. Christ has

    no form, which means, Christ can exist within any form.

    Any individual can be the Host of Christ, but it is necessary forthe host to be suitable. If a king is to rule effectively, he must haveorder, he must have a throne upon which he can officiate. No king

    could bring happiness to his kingdom if he did not have the properrequisites to do so. Would the true King rule from a brothel, or a denof thieves? Such things would be absurd, and useless. Besides, if thepower which is Christ attempted to come into an ordinary person,that person would be annihilated much like a fuse that explodes uponreceiving too much electrical current.

    We must understand that one thing is Jesus, and another thing isChrist. Jesus made order from disorder, he prepared his throne and

    received the Sephirothic Crown, the Crown of Life mentioned inthe Book of Revelation. The Sephirothic Crown is the Kabbalisticterm for Christ.

    Any individual can receive the Sephirothic Crown. The Sephi-rothic Crown contains three jewels. These jewels, like all religiousdescriptions, are symbols of abstract truths, which in this caserepresent the root factors of all existence, whichare the Affirming, Denying and Reconciling.Everything that exists, exists due to thesefundamental principles.

    In greek, Christ is Chrestos (), whichis spelled with the letterchi (, rhymes with eye )

    and rho (). This is why many times Christ isrepresented with a P and an X intersecting. Rhohas its origins in the Egyptian hieroglyph of RA, which is the Solar God, the God of Fire. The Xof course, is the Cross of Birth, the Cross ofDeath, and the Cross of Life, which in reality isall the same cross. So, esoterically speaking,Christ is Fire, spiritual fire, and Christ haseverything to do with The Cross.

    Christ works through The Cross. It isthrough the crossing of the Affirming, Denying,and Reconciling that everything is born, exists, and dies. The birth ofa child is the result of a man, a woman, and the sexual act (the crossof man and woman). The fire of Christ exists in the very sexual actitself. A system of worlds exists due to reconciliation of gravity andinertia, the crossing of the centripetal and centrifugal forces, toproduce an orbit, and every system of worlds orbits around the

    central luminary, the Fire, the Sun, which is RA, the Egyptianprinciple of Fire. The cross is in everything. Thus, Christ is ineverything that is created, and nothing that is created could becreated without Christ.

    Christ means anointed one but what does Christ have to do with anointing? Anointing is done with oil, the chrism. In Hebrew,

    oil is spelled with three letters, shin, mem, andnun ( which phonetically looks like ,(shemen but is pronounced semen. Yes, thattype of semen, but this semen can be understoodas the sexual energy in all its forms, in both manand woman. Christ is within the sexual energy.The sexual energy is absolutely Christic and hasthe capacity to bring enlightenment to our soul.But that requires certain sacrifices on the Cross.

    Those who have read the book of Zechariahcan recall that that there is a description of acandelabra with seven pipes, and each pipecarried oil to the top of it. I recommend that youread this book after knowing the symbolism. Themeaning of this symbol is very simple if you

    know the keys. The Seven Pipes are the sevenprinciples of the spirit, and the oil is the semen which goes up to the top and provides the fire

    and light. This seven piped candelabra is the Jewish menorah.

    Biologically speaking, the menorah is the spinal column becausethere are seven main paths of nourishment the spinal columnprovides for the body, mind and spirit. If we sacrifice our animalisticsexual desires, the sexual energy instead of going out of the organism,

  • 8/12/2019 The Gnostic Christ[1]

    5/12

    4

    stays within, and, if proper care is taken, the sexual energy is refinedmuch like crude oil is refined into kerosene or gasoline. This is calledtransmutation of sexual energy. Then, and only then, are theseven holy pipes filled with the sacred oil and light and fire

    come out of the menorah. Here is the secret: super volatilesexual energy is spiritual energy. They are the exact samething.

    Now the angel who talked with me came back and wakenedme, as a man who is wakened out of his sleep. And he said tome, What do you see?So I said, I am looking, and there is a lampstand of solidgold with a bowl on top of it, and on the stand seven lamps

    with seven pipes to the seven lamps. Two olive trees are by it,one at the right of the bowl and the other at its left. Zechariah 4:1-3

    Then I answered and said to him, What are these two olivetreesat the right of the lampstand and at its left?

    And I further answered and said to him, What are these twoolive branches that drip into the receptacles of the two goldpipes from which the golden oil drains?

    Then he answered me and said, Do you not know whatthese are? And I said, No, my lord.So he said, These are the two anointed ones, who standbeside the Lord of the whole earth. Zechariah 4:11-14

    From the physical point of view, the result is foundprincipally in the brain. This is the way the Fire of Christcan illuminate us. This is the reality of the Halo of Saints,the Horns of Moses, and the Tongues of Fire that appear ofthe Apostles in the Book of Acts. All of these are symbols ofthe light of Christ illuminating the minds of the saints and prophets.Let us now be able to understand the Bible when it says At all times,let your garments be white, and let oil [ shemen] not be lacking

    on your head [ ro'sh] (Ecclesiastes 9). They that [were] foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: But the wise took oil

    (transformed sexual energy ) in their vessels (bodies ) with theirlamps (minds ). (Matthew 25). So now we can understandthat to become a host of Christ, one becomes anointed bythe fire of Christ.

    What is more significant is that the foundation of thatfire is not something outside of you, and it is notsomething that comes by believing in a personality ofsomeone else. It does not matter how much you say youbelieve in Christ, or Jesus, if you do not do what is said inthe scriptures. Unfortunately, if we do not understand themeaning of the scriptures, how can we follow them?

    The religious forms have failed humanity partly be-cause the authorities have failed to grasp where the powerand strength of their doctrine lies. They repeat platitudestowards God, saying He is great, and that we need to bekind and compassionate and follow the Commandments.This has been going on for millennia, yet humanity is stillignorant, filled with venomous hatred, attached to the mostephemeral and transitory things, and because of this, it

    suffers the indescribable. The real meat of Christianity, which is entails a very profound, radical psychologicaltransformation, has been thrown away, and replaced with aseries of rules and insubstantial practices that do notrequire one to stop being hypocritical. Many people leavetheir religion because of this; these people at least admit

    they would be hypocrites to continue going to Church. By thisadmission, some of them are closer to God than the hypocrites who

  • 8/12/2019 The Gnostic Christ[1]

    6/12

    5

    ignore their own hypocrisy but more often than not, these types just like to live without an authority constantly condemning thethings that they enjoy doing.

    So in reality there is no difference: one type admits they like thethings they like, and the other pretends they are holy and worthy ofGods grace, but what counts is not belief, but daily action, and inthis area they are basically indistinguishable. Belief is easy, and this is why the verses regarding belief are always repeated, and whole sectsare based upon these verses, but the Bible when studied integrallyfrom beginning to end, it shows that much more is needed thansimple beliefs. The Bible was written in code to protect it from theprofaners, but now it is time to reveal the keys to unlock the ciphers.

    The narratives of the Doctrine are its cloak. The s imple look only atthe garment - that is, upon the narrative of the Doctrine; more theyknow not. The instructed, however, see not merely the cloak, but

    what the cloak covers. The Zohar, iii. The Mysteries of the Faith (are) not to be divulged to all [...] It isrequisite to hide in a mystery the wisdom spoken. St. Clement of

    Alexandra, Stromateis

    People believe in God like they believe in a sports team, which isabsurd. God does not need clientele in order to exist or to bepowerful or to be happy those are all very infantile ideas which, if

    they are brought to fruition within the minds of those who holdthem, become self-evidently ridiculous. Nevertheless, because peoplehave been told to believe for so long now, they think it is absurd to

    t believe. Well, this is the unfortunate truth for the believers: whatmatters is not if you believe in God, but rather if you areexperiencing God in greater and greater degrees. We need to know God, notbelieve in him. But this requires greater and greater sacrifices.

    Such sacrifices are great, but the reward is clarity of mind and apeaceful heart, which is exactly what every person on this planet

    wants, knowingly or not. Everything in the universe has a cause, andbeing illuminated by Christ has its specific causes and conditions. If

    you satisfy them, then the result is natural. But, yes, it is necessary tosacrifice desire. You have to awaken your consciousness! When youawaken, your soul with be nourished with the super-substantialbread.

    Do not love (psychological) sleep, lest you come to (psychological)poverty; Open your eyes (of insight), and you will be satisfied withbread (of wisdom). Proverbs 20:13

    No one wants to awaken, because this would mean that we haveto remove all the characters dwelling within our psychological

    building mentioned earlier. All the different selves within the selfmust be removed. Each one of them are different desires. Our entireidentity is based upon mundane and extravagant desires. From thedesire to have children, to be well educated, to be respected or bethought of as cool, interesting, happy, or successful or just to getdrunk and have fun, to dace, to have a nice car, to acquire anextensive collection of LPs or perhaps vintage wine or plasticfigurines There are too many forms of desire to list. Our mind isconfused because there is no continuity of consciousness within it; it

    is always fractured into many different conflicting desires which areexpressed through the various calamities we produce every day.

    For example, one might hate their mother, and fear her, and feelsympathy for her all at once. This is evidence that our own mind isunder control of many different factors simultaneously. This type ofsituation happens constantly, moment by moment, within our mind,yet it is very rare that we are aware of what is going on in our mind,because we are psychologically asleep. The vast majority of our desires

  • 8/12/2019 The Gnostic Christ[1]

    7/12

    6

    are unconscious, and this is why we are unable to see what is reallycausing our problems.

    These desires are based upon illusory things, things that seemreal, but when analyzed further, are not. Everything that we hold dearabout our self is very ephemeral: it will go away. Every part of the selfthat is based upon things of this world will go away. Few take thetime to realize this. With death, it is guaranteed that it will all goaway. So what remains?

    When one sacrifices, they are preemptively removing everythingthat is temporal and illusory within their mind. Bydoing so, they are cultivating something, a quality ofmind, which transcends time and is truly eternal.

    This is how we replace our false identity whichcauses all our suffering, with something else thatdoes not have any relationship with me, myself,or I. By cultivating something that has a directrelationship with the true nature of reality, aharmonious relationship with the true nature ofreality is the result. This result is called happiness.But this is real happiness and love, not the garbagethat is shown on television or in greeting cards.

    We suffer, we have problems, because the fundamental assump-tions we make about our life and our self is totally at odds withreality. When we comprehend the true nature of reality, we work veryintensely to remove everything that is false. But understand that it isimpossible to sacrifice correctly without a profound comprehensionin the mind.

    We are not talking about repression here. Repression of desiresretards the mind because it drives desires further into the uncons-

    ciousness. This invokes deeper states of sleeping consciousness. Then what can one do with desire? People say we must express it then. Butthey are misguided, because the expression of desire will onlystrengthen it, just like putting fuel on a fire.

    Comprehension is the action which is beyond the mechanicalexpression or the mechanical repression of desire. Comprehension isthe action which provides the elimination of desire. We need tocomprehend every nook, every level, every single thing within ourself. This is what the mind is for: to discern different phenomena of

    nature. True religion wants to use the mind forsomething more than watching television ormaking money. We do this through various formsof meditation. Every religion in their pristine formteaches meditation. Meditation is the way tocomprehend our false nature and how it causes ourdaily suffering. This is the only way to remove ourhypocritical nature! In the Bible, our hypocriticalnature is represented by the Pharisees.

    Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Forye make clean the outside of the cup and of theplatter, but within you are full of extortion andexcess. - Matthew 23:25

    Christ is the true nature of reality. Christmas comes from Christ-Mass, the christic ritual. A ritual is a symbolic representation of agreater, abstract truth. December 25th has been a very sacred datesince the beginning of time because it represents the Winter Solstice.This is why the Druids and the followers of Mithra celebrated theSolar Divinity on December 25th. Christ itself is something universal,and it exists under different forms and different names in all the

    worlds religions.

    The teachings of the Zend Avesta are in accordance with thedoctrinal principles contained in the Egyptian book of the dead, andcontain the Christ-principle. The Illiad of Homer, the Hebrew Bible,the Germanic Edda and the Sibylline Books of the Romans containthe same Christ-principle. All these are sufficient in order to demon-strate that Christ is anterior to Jesus of Nazareth. Christ is not oneindividual alone. Christ is a cosmic principle that we must assimilate

    within our own physical, psychic, somatic and spiritual nature [] Among the Persians, Christ is Ormuz, Ahura Mazda, terrible enemyof Ahriman (Satan), which we carry within us. Amongst the Hindus,Krishna is Christ; thus, the gospel of Krishna is very similar to thatof Jesus of Nazareth. Among the Egyptians, Christ is Osiris and

    whosoever incarnated him was in fact an Osirified One. Amongstthe Chinese, the Cosmic Christ is Fu Hi, who composed the I-Ching(The Book of Laws) and who nominated Dragon Ministers. Amongthe Greeks, Christ is called Zeus, Jupiter, the Father of the Gods.

    Among the Aztecs, Christ is Quetzalcoatl, the Mexican Christ. Inthe Germanic Edda, Baldur is the Christ who was assassinated byHodur, God of War, with an arrow made from a twig of mistletoe,etc. In like manner, we can cite the Cosmic Christ within thousandsof ancient texts and old traditions which hail from millions of yearsbefore Jesus. The whole of this invites us to embrace that Christ is acosmic principle contained within the essential principles of allreligions. Samael Aun Weor, The Perfect Matrimony

    With Christmas, we celebrate the birth of a child in a crowdedmanger. Most people are content with believing this happened

    twenty centuries ago, others some feel it is a silly story that was mostlikely made up. Both of these views miss the point, because Christmasis something that occurs here and now. Nothing important aboutreligion is related with history. Everything that is important aboutreligion is what is transpiring right now within your own conscious-ness.

    By understanding this tremendous fact we can get to the realpoint of Christmas, which is a didactic parable to help us understand

    the process in which man unites with God. This is what Jesus wantedto teach, and he taught by living his life in a way that mirrored theinner drama of religion and those parts of his literal life which didnot mirror the inner drama of religion where intentionally modified

    by those who understood the doctrine, so that the teachings wereinterwoven with the story. Thus it is with the story of the birth of

    Jesus. The literal Jesus was not literally born as the Bible says, becausethe Bible is not a history book, the Bible is a book to teach us themysteries of religion. What is in the Bible is not the story of the literal

    Jesus, but the mythological Jesus, the archetype of the Man-God thatany individual can and must emulate.

    Bethlehem, the place of Jesus birth, means house of bread inHebrew, house of meat in Arabic, and tower of fire in Chaldean.This fire is the fire of Christ. In Hebrew, shin () represents fire. Itlooks like a candelabra with three wicks on fire, these are three fires ofthe Trinity. When we take Jehovah, or Iod-Hei-Vav-Hei ( ) inHebrew, and place a shin in the middle we get , or Yeshua,

    which means savior and is Romanized as Jesus. So, the birth of Jesus is related with a spiritual fire. The whole mystery of Christianityis related with returning the Fire. Jehovah places the Fire within man,and if man is able to work with that Fire correctly, it is returned andthe inner Savior is the result.

    This spiritual fire ironically begins in a very animalistic place.This is why Jesus is born in the manger. Our psychological state ofmind is very passionate, and among its multitudinous forms are manysexual desires that wish to brutally fornicate like animals. That Firemust start somewhere, and this is this the only place it can start.

    Christ is the King of Kings, so the King Herod however wants nopart of that, he wants to kill every child before one can grow to take

  • 8/12/2019 The Gnostic Christ[1]

    9/12

    8

    away his power. Herod is every one of us. Herod is the animal minditself. Herod is the King of this humanity. Herod is the King of ouractions, our thoughts, and our words. He kills manychildren, many aspirants of the Wisdom. Immediately

    after the Christ child is born, the henchmen of Herodattempt to kill the child. The henchmen of Herod arethings like subjective intellectual reasoning, fear, sensualdesires, etc. Herod says, What will my friends think if Ichange my behavior? or God made me this way, I was bornthis way, therefore this who I really am and to change thatwould be wrong. Few of the children ever have a chanceto grow before they are murdered by the decrees ofHerod.

    When the Christ child does begin to grow, he grows within the tower of fire, that is Bethlehem. This tower isthe same thing as the Throne of God. A throne is acommon religious symbol, but with our biology thethrone of God is our central nervous system, and inparticular our spinal cord and brain. The spinalcord begins at the sex, passes through the chest(heart) to end at the brain. Everything about ouractions, feelings, and thoughts are related with thespinal cord. The spinal cord must become theTower of Fire through the Fire of Christ.

    In the beginning this fire is related with sexualdesire and subjective reasoning, but through theDrama of the Christ, it transforms into sexual strength andenlightened intuition. In other words, the Fire is transformed into theLight. Again, this light is the Halo of the saints (which is depicted not

    only in the iconography of Christianity, but in many other religionsas well), the tongues of fire above the heads of the Apostles in the

    Book of Acts. Devi Kundalini is the same fire.

    When this is happening, the Lord has the capacity tocome down and bestow gifts to Gods Children. This isthe true nature of Santa Claus, which is a symbol thathas been very, very adulterated. Santa Claus is related

    with the Germanic God named Odin, which woulddescend down the chimney. This chimney is the spinalcord, and gifts are the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, thesupernatural powers of the soul.

    Understand that within our own nature is the Seed

    of Christ, which exists as a fluidic-magnetic energy thatin its coarsest form is sexual energy. Through theretention and sublimation (transformation) ofthis energy, it begins to rise. This, in turn givesthe capacity to receive God from above. So thishow man reunites with God. This is why those

    who are interested in religion must keep guard oftheir sexual nature. Any Priest must be perfectlychaste in thought, word, and deed. If not, then

    he cannot be effective. His word will lack power.His sermons will not inspire. His Eucharisticfunction will be useless. The Priest is responsiblefor taking the Christic forces from above andplacing them in the bread and wine, but if the

    Priest does not know how preserve his own oil, and to make theFire into Light, then Christ from above cannot come into the host.The fact that the Church has been rocked with sexual scandal proves

    Solar System. Others have dominion of the galaxy, and still others who have dominion over the Infinite.

    Just as planets are groups of matter, solar systems are groups ofplanets, and galaxies are groups of solar systems. An Infinite is agroup of galaxies. There exists Masters who have the wisdom of an Infinite. Beyond one Infinite liesanother Infinite. They are called as such becausenominal causality is restricted to the curvature of theInfinite it originated within. Every cause has aneffect, but it is limited to the Infinite it was createdin.

    The origin of Christ, however, is beyond the

    Infinite. The origin is called the Ain Soph inKabbalistic terms, which is the Absolute. Only aMaster who has dominion over many Infinites hasthe right to ascend into the Ain Soph. This is calleda Paramarthasatya. Jesus is a Paramarthasatya. Theonly cause which can transcend the Infinites is one who has dominion over multiple Infinites, which is the Paramartha-satya (vehicle of perfect cognizance).

    Before any level of Christ can be born within, one has to become

    a real human, which is someone who has psychological equilibrium.That is quite an exception today. People are angry, jealous, lustful,greedy, lazy and gluttonous, and many admit and even like being this way. Often they feel as if these qualities make life interesting and without them life would be unbearable. A million rationales are usedto keep our self alive, to not die psychologically to our imperfec-tions, but all of them ignore the true nature of reality. Because of this,suffering will continue. It is better to psychologically die. To die is

    the best, because with death comes what is new, and only what is newcan be in harmony with what is now .

    We like when things are new. We like seeing new babies. We likehaving new cars, and new clothes. We like owning a new house and

    have a new type of drink and food to taste. Butironically we do not want to be psychologicallynew, no. Instead we enjoy the shackles of ourexperience, falsely believing it to be the essence oflife. Paradoxically we feel trapped by life, but we donot want to change our self. This is because we failto understand that life is always a psychologicalmirror: what is in your outer life is a reflection ofyour interior processes. Instead of trying to changelife, we need to change our self. Everything else inlife is of little value.

    Christ is the I AM. When Moses saw theburning bush, the Christmas tree on engulfed inthe Fire and Light of Christ, it said I AM THAT I

    AM. This was Christ within Moses. Christ, within Jesus, said:

    Think not that I AM come to send peace on earth: I came not tosend peace, but a sword.

    For I AM come to set a man at variance against his father, and thedaughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against hermother in law.

    And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me:and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy ofme.

    And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.

    He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for mysake shall find it.He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth mereceiveth him that sent me. Matthew 10:34-40

    Christ entering in man represents a revolutionary psychologicaltransformation, a sword which does not make peace with the errors ofman, but instead works to make him perfect. He is at war with manserrors. Christ is not interested in the customs of family, and theactions required to receive Christ are at odds with customs of thefamily, of the nation, and of the world.

    Most radically, Christ is against the customs of the household,our psychological household, our own mind. Christ is against alldarkness, all ignorance of the mind. Being that the mind of man is

    almost entirely darkness, the nature of Christ is antithetical to thecurrent nature of man. This is why no one understands Christ and noone wants to accept the truth behind Christmas:

    Though Christ a thousand times in Bethlehem be born

    And not within thyself, thy soul will be forlorn.

    The Cross on Golgotha thou lookest to in vain

    Unless within thyself it be set up again
