The Christmas Manger
Written by Merry C. Battles
The Christ child is born in Bethlehem, in a sparse stable in the straw. The three wise men come to honor Him – following a star prophesizing the coming of a great teacher. As one bows down to enter the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, the invisible choir still sings the praises of that glorious moment in time.
He is born of a virgin mother, the immaculate conception. He is a holy gift from God, chosen to have a divine feminine being as His mother, who eventually becomes the Queen of the Angels. Mother Mary, also known as Eve and Isis, shares Her brilliant light and love with the world to this day.
The drama of Jesus birth and death is symbolic of the path of a Christed soul. Edgar Cayce said that Jesus was Adam and Mary Eve. In their “fall” from grace in the Garden of Eden, was their promise to fulfill their sublime destiny as Christed souls.
These steps, from the immaculate birth to the final crucifixion and resurrection, are steps on the initiatory path of every soul on this planet to becoming a perfect son or daughter of God Goddess – the love of God made manifest.
The manger is where the seed of the Christ is planted. The manger is the “rainbow bridge” betwee
King pineal and Queen pituitary. When these two glands become spiritualized and in harmony, the Christ child is born within. There is a balance between the head and the heart – the bread and wine of communion.
Christmas reminds us of the potential of our planet to live in peace. At this time the feelings of goodwill and love envelope our earth. The cosmic Christ Spirit enters every atom of space and awakens the love vibration in every living being. This continues for the next 12 holy days December 26-January 6, known as the Holy of Holies. Each year we evolve into a higher connection with the Spiritual realms.
The Christ is the love of God, part of the divine Trinity - Father, son or daughter, and Holy Spirit Mother. The divine feminine will usher in the New Age of Aquarius, where woman will finally take her equal place with man. The great Mother Goddess shall take center stage as she is recognized as part of the great One Spirit.
Women hold the power. Men have the spark to ignite that power. In Spirit we all contain both the masculine and feminine qualities. As each one takes their rightful place, the Christ seed will blossom and grow. The Christ child will be born within our own manger and usher in the 1,000 years of peace. nncopyright 2007 Merry C.
