Our Holy Nights Journey, dear friends, taking us on the path from Jesus to Christ, is a divine archetype that every human being may follow thru the 12 regions of the Zodiac – & beyond, into the compass of the Holy Spirit, & NOW, today, on the Eve of Epiphany, we get a glimpse into the sphere of the Mystic Lamb.
We started at the feet, with Pisces, & the incarnation into the human realm, on Christmas Eve – & now we have arrived at Aries, ruling the head – a glimpse of our reunion with the godhead. This is the prototype for our microcosmic metamorphosis from matter to Spirit – a model for spiritualizing ourselves & the Earth. And so tonight, at sunset, dear friends, let us prepare to receive the gifts of the ‘Three Kings’.
Aries is ‘at the head’ of the whole zodiac circle of ‘Adam-Kadmon’ – the Alpha to Omega Archetype of the Human Being – from which the Cosmic Christ descended – passing thru each sign – each Angelic realm – into the Spirit & Soul of the Sun, for the pre-earthly deeds. Yeah, I know I am falling into Anthro-speak, & this term ‘pre-earthly deeds’ deserves its own seminar, but basically, we can think that there was a lot of preparation that had to happen in our evolution before the Cosmic Being of Christ could bring His impulse of Universal Love to Earth. Human beings are gifted with these ‘pre-earthly deeds’ in the first 3 years of life, when so much happens - We learn to stand upright & walk - We learn to speak - & we learn to think, & to call ourselves “I”.
But let me get back to the fact that it is no coincidence that the sphere of the Mystic Lamb in Aries stood in the heavens at the exact time of the Baptism, when the Christ Being descended from the Sun into the vessel of the Jesus of Nazareth, in order to perform, 3 years later, His 4th & most important Deed on the hill at Golgotha - Everything else - was a preparation for this Redemptive Sacrifice.
In John 1:35-36, the Baptist says: “Look, there is the Lamb of God”. With these words we hear a testimony of the Cosmic connection of Christ with the heavenly region of the Ram, thru which Christ entered our Cosmos from the realms beyond the zodiac.
From the Aries constellation flows the source of Christ’s Spiritual Influence in the Cosmos, which then spreads its emanations towards the first 7 zodiac signs - the ‘light or ascended’ signs - which goes down to the region of the Scales. This may be called the Body of the Mystic Lamb.
And from Virgo to Pisces, we have the Body of the Divine Sophia. The overlapping center where they meet is where the ‘Mystic or Alchemical Marriage’ takes place - an initiatory process in the New Mysteries open to humanity now. (Remember: the 13 Hidden Holy Night is New Year’s Eve, the center between the above & below, where we see the Sun at Midnight)
Those initiated in the ancient Jewish rites had an unconscious inkling of the connection between, the ‘Messiah’ = Christos = the Anointed One, & the region of the Ram. This was outpictured in the practice of sacrificing an unblemished lamb for the ‘sins of Israel’. The Passover feast was a pre-figuring of the Deed of Christ, the New ‘Sacrificial Lamb’ – freely offered, as the medicine redeeming humanity from the fall, & ending the need for blood sacrifice.
John the Baptist was the last leading initiate of the Jewish mysteries. In his earliest incarnation as ‘Adam’ – he was the 1st man. Because of this he was given the task of baptizing people in preparation for the descent of Christ - the 1st God to enter physical existence on earth. Part of this task was to sort the Lambs – those ready for the new initiation - from those not ready in that life. And Eve had the task of giving birth to the Matthew Jesus - holding the soul of the wise Sun Initiate Zarathustra.
After the Baptism, Christ-Jesus became the renewed archetype of the human being, which had fallen into disarray thru ‘the fall of Adam’. The human body was intended in the beginning to be more Spiritual, but instead, it entered more deeply into matter then what was intended by the gods. But thru the Resurrection, we can achieve the rise of Adam-Kadmon – the perfected human being – in times to come. It is for this reason that John the Baptist says that he (as the old Adam) must decrease, while Christ (the new Adam) must increase.
Later after John the Baptist dies (hmmm beheaded), his spirit is able to unite with Lazarus/John during his initiation by Christ into the New Mysteries – so that Lazarus becomes John the Divine, able to access the Spiritual world thru the intersession of the Virgin Mary, & the guidance of the Priestess of Isis, Mary Magdalene.
In the Book of the Apocalypse he reveals the connection of Christ with the Sphere of the Mystic Lamb, in his description of the Heavenly Lamb who guards the Book of Seven Seals. And so dearly beloved, thru our journey of Jesus to Christ we see the earthly reflection in the 13 Holy Nights between the Festivals of Christmas to Epiphany, of our human evolution, back to the Godhead. And at Epiphany, the Festival of the Birth of Christ into the earthly body of humanity in the man Jesus, we get an insight into the journey that a god took to become human.
For at the moment of the Baptism, the highest Trinity is reflected in the depths of earthly existence: the Holy Spirit as the Dove (Bull), the Son-Principle as the Lamb (Ram) & the Father-principle as the Voice from the Heavens beyond the Zodiac – those realms where human imagination has yet to penetrate. But it is from there, from the bosom of the Father/Mother, that Christ descended into our Cosmos. And from there He worked from the sphere of the Sun, as the 13th in the circle of the 12 – the Divine Spirit of our solar system; & then at the Baptism He descends from the Sun to the Earth, in order that the Earth may become a Sun.
It is ‘The Great Work’ of Being Human, to Become, each of us, a Sun – Recognizing & acknowledging this spark of Divinity in everyone we meet – supporting & adding to this light – to do as my friend Teddy Mowrey, who crossed the threshold 7 years ago now, said: “I resolve to Improve my awareness of the Christ in me, bringing it consciously into recognition of the Christ in others. The Christ in me responds to the Christ in you”. Thank you Teddy, I am still living into these living words that you have left us. To me this is the perfect expression of the Virtue: Devotion Becomes the Power of Sacrifice.
To be devoted, is a commitment to act out of free will, selflessly, - to actively consecrate – to devote our life - to give our gifts – like the 3 Kings did - And thru this giving, to be reborn, to rise up out of the waters newly baptized – ready to become a devoted human being, ready to serve.
Blessings to all of you intrepid souls who have willingly taken this powerful journey thru the Holy Nights - that we may Thrive in 2025. May we devote this year to Becoming One with the Earth-Sun.
See you at 10:10 - & in every moment where Good Will can thrive between us. ~hag
