Isaiah, from The holy Bible, King James version Electronic Text Center, University of Virginia Library 5 EDITORIAL The Cosmic Christ - The Principle of Love Cosmic Christ reaches the innermost center of the Earth. He makes four major contacts with the planet each year, during the Equinoxes and Solstices. The "Birth" of the Sun inaugurates a new growth cycle. Earth and her people are ready for new beginnings. Every year there is a higher evolutionary cycle as a result of the Christ impulse. The Cosmic Christ is the principle of Love, and has a special center within the "sun." Two thousand years ago Jesus was prepared by the members of the Essenes to be a vehicle for the Cosmic Christ. Divinity took on flesh, and set the seed pattern for all humankind. Every year since Jesus came to Earth, as its redeemer, The Cosmic Christ has re-enacted the drama of 2,000 years ago. With each returning Winter Solstice he is born anew. The Holiest night of the year is Midnight on December 24th. The light of the Christ reaches the heart of Earth and forms a Mystic Star. Every person, plant, animal, mineral, cell and atom absorbs this light. It transforms the Globe into shimmering Gold. 6 In Celtic terms, the Winter Solstice is known as Alban Arthun or the birthday of Arthur. The legendary myth of Arthur as Solar King is represented by the Pineal gland. Arthur is known as King Pineal. He searches for the Holy Grail - the Divine Feminine or Queen Pituitary. For a Disciple who has made themselves worthy of initiation, the Christ Child is born in the Manger. The "Manger" is the "Rainbow Bridge" between the Pineal and the Pituitary glands. This becomes the Altar of our Body Temple. The answer to the question of the Holy Grail is - How can I help you? What can I do for you? Christmas only begins on December 25th. The next 12 days December 26-January 6 are considered the "Holy of Holies." The veil between the two worlds is lifted, making it possible to receive wisdom from on high. These days can be used for soul dedication for the 12 months ahead. The 12th night, is known as Epiphany - the coming of the 3 Wise Men, the Magi bearing gifts for the Christ Child - Frankincense, Myrrh, and Gold. Orthodox Churches celebrate this day as Christmas. It is also known as "Little Christmas." Each day is under the direction of the 12 Zodiacal Hierarchies. The first day December 26 begins with Aries and the Disciple James - Brother of John. Aries marks the beginning of the Solar New Year. The 12 Disciples preside over each day. The 12 Spiritual centers for each sign are seen illumined, one added each day, so that by the 12th night the Body Temple is lit up like the glorious Christmas Tree. Each of the twelve Disciples represents a specific faculty or attribute of man himself: Judas, therefore, will play his role in human evolution until such time as the lower nature of the race shall be redeemed. He destroyed himself, as all evil ultimately destroys itself, and was replaced by Matthias, the symbol of the redeemed man of the New Age and the new race. Light your candle, say your prayers , listen, and dedicate yourself to becoming a worthy Temple where the Christ Consciousness can be born anew within each one of us. And always PRAY FOR PEACE. - Corinne Heline 7 FUNDAMENTALS The Natural Laws of the Universe HE PURPOSE of the Mystery School is to teach its students the natural laws which govern thecosmos so that they may bring their will and mind into harmony with divine T truth and begin consciously to live the life. It is the mission of the Rosicrucian Fellowship to teach its students the natural laws which operate on the, physical, mental, moral, and spiritual planes of being. On the physical plane natural law is taught so that man may learn as quickly as possible how to care for the dense body, which is his most valuable instrument at the present stage of evolution. On the mental plane these laws are taught so that the student may become a reasoning, self-conscious channel through which the message of the Spirit may be flashed to the physical brain. On the moral plane, knowledge pertaining to these laws is important in order that man‘s social relations with his fellow men may manifest as the highest expression of fellowship and good will. And finally, an understanding of natural laws operating on the spiritual plane are taught Watercolor, William Blake so that the individual may investigate for himself and God Writing on Tables of Law learn the underlying causes of the
