On January 6, the Christian churches celebrate the twelfth day of Christmas. Modern songs and stories create a picture of three wise kings, traveling hundreds of miles, camels in the backdrop. Our hearts love the story of Jesus, a baby in a manger, receiving gold, frankincense and myrrh.
It is quite a story. The reality behind the scene is muddier. The “kings” were wealthy mystics and astrologers, likely far more in number. They could read the stars, and just as we saw the formulation of planets on December 21 of 2020, they saw the seeds of change in that same planetary group, on the day of “Christ’s birth.”
There may be no other biblical story that better portrays the Bible as symbolism rather than fact. Nothing aligns. The time lines. The Christian belief system betraying the astrological world. The gifts, definitely symbolic. The concept.
Epiphany. Enlightenment. Finding the Christ within. Within! The Christ is calling us, loudly, clearly. Then. And certainly now.
A man named Yeshua (the Hebrew name that we have distorted because historic popes and kings wished to deny his identity, his black skin, and his cultural Judaism) brought a message of Oneness. I am. He discovered the Truth, and wanted everyone to share in his awareness. Whether this is fact or a long told tale, it is equally extraordinary, illuminating.
We are called to our individual Epiphany! You are already All That Is, enlightened, Whole. Open to the awareness. Happy 6th!
