The Birthday of the Roman Emperor Augustus is the Natal Day of Jesus

As the honorific inscriptions said of the birthday of the Roman Emperor Augustus, so said after them all Christians of the natal day of augustus_caesarJesus:

“This day has given the earth an entirely new The New aspect.

The world would have gone to destruction Era Two Thousand had there not streamed forth from him who is now born a common blessing.

“Rightly does he judge who recognises in this birth-day the beginning of life and of all the powers of life; now is that time ended when men pitied themselves for being born.

“From no other day does the individual or the community receive such benefit as from this natal day, full of blessing to all.

“The Providence which rules over all has filled this man with such gifts for the salvation of the world as designate him as Saviour for us and for the coming generations; of wars he will make an end, and establish all things worthily. (more…)

One Common Soul

Virgil understood the soul of the world, which is not only diffused through all human bodies, but, as it were, through all the parts of the world souluniverse. He writes;

“The heaven and earth’s compacted frame,

And flowing waters, and the starry flame,

And both the radiant lights, one common soul,

Inspires, and feeds, and animates the whole.

This active mind diffused through all space,

Unites and mingles with the mighty mass.”

The Science of the Jack-o-lantern

In my last article on the mythology of the hidden meaning of the Jack-o-lantern, I explained how this was really an ancient gnostic story that was developed by the PhoenicianJack o lantern-Hebrew Druids who were known biblically as the children of Jacob (Jack). It is a tale of the as within as without gnosis, in which Jack roams the dark countryside with a lantern in search of his soul with the light of his spirit.

It was in Ireland, Scotland, England, Wales and other countries where the Druids had observed during the dark autumn nights a mysterious phenomenon of lights shooting from the swamps and marshes. These lights burned blue and gave the appearance of spirits rising from the swamps into the air where they would roam and disappear.

There is also a mysterious science behind these gnostic myths that may indicate to us today exactly why the Druids had developed this story of the Jack-o’-lantern. After all, the Druids were the sacred science keepers and priests of Europe who had valued knowledge and truth above all other worldly attributes. (more…)
