Holy Night 13 5-6 January Epiphany

Now we come to the 13th Holy Night. On the first Holy Night we celebrated the birth of Jesus. This birth awakened the deep memory within us of who we really are. It meant that we could touch the purity of our being as we were before we ever incarnated into a physical body. We have carried this memory in our heart through every incarnation on this earth. Twelve days ago we saw it lying there like a newborn.

Over these twelve nights and days we have tended this tiny child, using our Imagination to nurture it, to give it life. Now we have arrived at the night when this child, that innocent memory within us, is ready to receive the Cosmic Christ. From the celestial sun on the wings of the holy dove comes this Christ we have yearned for through all the incarnations we have ever lived. Now Christ himself can be experienced within our being, this is our baptism, our Epiphany.

Do we really understand what it means to have the presence of the living Christ within us? On this night we have the opportunity to create a living Imagination of what this means. This journey over the last twelve days and nights, from Jesus to Christ, has changed us forever. We will carry our work in our hearts through the twelve months of 2015.

The 12 Holy Nights sow a seed for our progress through the year ahead. Our sole purpose on this earth is to become aware our I Am, our True Self. By applying each of the 12 Holy Nights to each of the 12 months through the year we come closer to knowing ourselves more completely. In its highest expression our I Am becomes one with Christ who accompanies us each step of the way. “The true name of Christ is ‘I Am’; who does not know or does not understand this and calls Him by another name does not know anything about Him. ‘I Am’ is His only name.” Rudolf Steiner 27 May 1909

Each month through the year I will repost the words for that month on my FaceBook page https://www.facebook.com/EsotericConnection
