"Christ and Christmas" - Song and object-lesson (type and shadow) |
This is my interpretation of the object lesson for each illustration. Each time you study the book anew, the object lesson you write for yourself should grow clearer. Each number refers to the poetic verse, and corresponding illustration. 1. Understanding our divine commission and Holy place requires singleness of purpose. Mortal mind blocks the way. Hypocrisy and lust will try to convince us to give up or to modify our convictions to coordinate with human logic. These material forms deny the original prophetic commission.
2.When we behold the perfect man and describe His effulgence, our whole being is transformed. We depart some what from ourselves and we cease listening to the judgments of man; we give up our perceptions of man as dark, as having a dark past, full of accusation, guilt and judgment. 3. We must place our earthly all on the alter of divine Love for we are already dead in sins, and focus all our attention on our guide to eternal life. Listen with the divine ear. Make a worthy record for our friends and enemies on earth. Keep our peace no matter what. Be not disturbed; we will be tested. If worthy, we will give up all material significance for Christ and see a table prepared in the presence of our enemies.
4. We will have to overcome all human beliefs and attachments: childhood, old age, invalidism, infidelity, hypocrisy, false teaching, priesthood, friends and family, independence, personal wealth, brain thinking and all the pleasure and pride of the senses. Love will guide us through this miasma
of beliefs and suggestions to the consciousness of Mind as only. 6. acknowledged
Christ consciousness, the immediate knowledge of God (Nous) 7. As a child who is Father-Mother God dependent, we turn the key and unlock our own and our neighbor's consciousness to behold the kingdom of God on earth, to still the pride of old theology and feed the hungry with crumbs of comfort as Christian Scientists. 8. Treating
the sick by argument is not divine knowing, but it may be an
intermediate step as we advance our concept of humanity here.
We observe our own thought vacillating between two opinions as
we witness Christ separating the error from the Truth. 9.There
is only The power of Love and the charity of Truth are united in form and purpose. Take divine Science, the Alpha and Omega of being. 10. The
consciousness of Truth is present here with each one of us as
an open invitation, but an angel message cannot be heard unless
we give up something of self.
12. (no illustration) And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: And I will give him the MORNING STAR. - Christ Jesus This Morning Star, as the guiding Star of Being, is the root and offspring, cause and effect presented to the whole world. We find heaven is here, illumined as we share Love freely - as Light passing through the Star. George Denninger © |
