Questioner: Do you wish to
share with us what the Star of Bethlehem was?
The Council: There have
been many explanations by man as to what exactly was the Star of
Bethlehem. Some of the explanations
attempt to discredit what the meaning of the Star represents. In their attempts they only verify and add to
the fact that such an occurrence did happen. What they choose to discredit they
only substantiate, if one is wise enough to listen to what these have to
say. We are not referring to the
conventional idea of the Star of Bethlehem. Do you understand this?
Questioner: I believe so.
The Council: Very
well. It should suffice to say that it
was a guiding force for the Magi. Man
should look upon this also as a guiding light by which he may obtain the Christ
Consciousness. As the Star of Bethlehem
guided the wise men to the child Jesus, the Divine Son of God, so should the light guide the wise men
of today to Jesus Christ, the Only-Begotten Son of God, both Divine and
Man. It is not important exactly what
the Star was, whether it was a light placed in the heavens by God or whether He
collected the constellations in such a manner so they appeared to be
what they were not, exactly. This we
feel answers your question. It is an
answer that a wise man will look upon and think about.
