Max Heindel, a notable Danish-American mystic, and member of Freemasonry and the Rosicrucian fraternity of his time, presents us with a text that elucidates the spiritual symbolism of Christmas, so as not to forget its deepest aspect in our lives.
Now more than ever, in this globalized world that pays so much attention to materialism and banality, we need to remember that during the time when we commemorate the birth of Jesus, The Christ, it is necessary to return to reflection, and to the deep origin that gives reason to the Christmas festivities. Heindel reminds us that to perceive the incarnate Christ on earth, under the personality of Jesus, the Jewish avatar, we must first find the latent Christ, the potential Christ awaiting to be discovered within us.
Under the premise that we all carry in us the germ of enlightenment, and that we can evolve our soul to reach the Christic state, Max Heindel explains throughout the text how we should remember this spiritual fact, during the time of Christmas, and strive to follow the path that leads to the Enlightenment of the soul.
Max Heindel's exhortation is rather direct: do not miss the opportunity, during the Christmas season, to allow the inner Christ to be born in our hearts, and thus, from within, to be able to recognize the message and mission of the historical Christ, our Master. and redeemer.
