The complexities of life, in all of their varied manifestations, are swept away as cobwebs by the Hand of God in action; and treasures of Eternal Reality stand revealed in matchless splendor. The temptations and vicissitudes of life, the yawning chasms and pitfalls with which man has identified, become meaningless ant hills of human futility - beneath notice when the eyes draw down the radiance from 'On High' and fix in the domain of consciousness and reason the victory of God as it expresses by the Power of the Spirit the masterful Reality embodied in the Divine Image.
The folly of contempt and prejudgment of man who is aspiring unto the highest and who is being led progressively to higher planes is but a deterrent to the practitioner who, through pollution of his own auric field, harms himself most. As men outwardly prepare for the coming of the Christmas festivities, our Hearts and the Hearts of the Angelic Hosts are determined that they shall not receive alone the empty baubles, but also the treasures of multitudinous Hearts of Love - gentle subtleties and whisperings of joy to come, and the effulgence that is the flowing garment of the Lord as He moves in a Spirit of complete Victory to establish His Kingdom among men.
The dense pacts men have made with matter, the useless treks they have made in pursuit of vain ambitions, these cannot compare with the journey of the Magi - with contact with the invisible world, and with insight into the soul-yearnings of men. The natal advent portends to this hour a sparkling cup that overfloweth upon the world the fount of invisible wisdom and holy intelligence. The old towers may be broken and the old boundaries erased and overcovered with decaying substance, but the clear eye will discern beyond human reason the masterful works of God, Whose splendor appearing within the mind and heart of man is also without as the garment of nature, breaking forth into blossom wheresoever the feet of the Christ may lead.
Now, as we pause to consider the perils of men, let us once again, in chaliced interlacing of hands, recognize the common bond of Christly fealty. In the laying aside of old dissensions, let the wonders of His love flow through as regeneration, resurgence of determination, and the transmutative efforts from 'On High' that seek to dash the cup of woe from the hand of the unsuspecting and unwary partaker thereof. Thus, when the Light rays from the celestial orb stream forth a message of renewed hope and contact human hearts, it shall not be that men shall pass their hands before their faces as though to remove a cobweb, but rather, in the blessedness of full recognition of the touch of the Hand of the Immortal One, that they shall cherish their own Divinity, their own opportunity, and their own potential fruit of service, made upon the altars of God, builded in the stables of man's consciousness.
The acceptable mores shall yield to the Hand of the Infinite Weaver, Who in His cherished outpouring will teach men the joy of cognizing the thoughts of God's Heart. The casting off of old apparel, and the trading in of the old garments for the Seamless Robe, enable men to offer their gifts with noblesse oblige, with faith in the justice of the Holy One, and in recognition of the spiritual Body of The Most High Who flexes the sinews of new life through the whole body of mankind in order that the head thereof be honored as the victorious daystar of Christly intelligence. And so, as the Cosmic dust, flecked with golden substance, radiates and renews Cosmic treasure in both form and being, the Divine Image supplants the usurping mortality and the Christ Child becomes in all the Manchild to rule in the lesser kingdom until it also is assimilated into the greater.
With what hope His star shone forth; with what destiny it was placed in the celestial realm; with what angelic acclamation it has broadcast its appeal to all hearts. Only God can know. For the Infinite arrow has lefts its mark upon the finite and the tracings of the Finger of God have crumbled the hearts of men in the weakened places thereof and have builded renewed hope and consolation in all who would accept the Reality of their own holy breath. Let us rejoice and be glad. Let us fend the aggressive tide. Let us forge radiant links that cannot be erased.
