Christmas – Man’s Birth as God, Five

Christmas – Man’s Birth as God, Five

God actually became as you are the moment you breathed, for breath and spirit are one and the same word in Hebrew and Greek. When you were spanked on the behind, took one deep inhalation and breathed, God became incarnate in you. Then you go through the furnaces of experience to reach the end, when you experience this series of events. No other event or events will take you back.

The first event is your awakening and resurrection from the skull where God entered. Then your birth as God. Coming out of your skull, all of the symbolism of scripture as described in Matthew and Luke is before you.

The three witnesses are there, as well as the child wrapped in swaddling clothes. The witnesses talk about you, but cannot see you, as you are now spirit.

Then, because no one has ever seen God but his only begotten son who is in the bosom of the Father, the second event occurs, when God's son stands before you and makes you known to yourself. Then you, too, will say: "I am the root and the offspring of David." For, coming out of the garment you have worn throughout your journey in the world of death, you are David, God's only begotten son!

There is no other way back to the realization of being God the Father, for He literally became you that you may become God. We are told that Jesus Christ is God's son, yet it is he who claims: I and my Father are one. He who sent me has seen the Father. Claiming to be the son who is the Father is a paradox; yet it is resolved when you realize that the son - coming out from the Father - remains the Father, but is restricted by incarnation.

God the Father takes upon himself the form of a slave, and - becoming the son - he is obedient until death, even death upon the cross of Man. This God wears, as He moves from one state to another, to another in what the world calls death, until God experiences the one definite plan to return to himself - the Father. So Christmas marks, not the incarnation of God, but the birth of man, as God. Now let us go into the silence.
