Contemplating Christmas
Istijlal (Majesty), 14 Qawl (Speech) 175 B.E. - Thursday, December 6, 2018

The Affect of the Manifestation of God Upon the Human Soul

A mirror reflects the sun
downward through a dark tunnel
to illumine another mirror
in the Earth's heart.

I wrote this in 145 B.E. The inspiration was a story about one of the telescopes watching the night sky. I realized, as I watched the documentary, that was the way Christ, Baha'u'llah, The Bab, Muhammad, and the other Manifestations, or Mirrors, of the Almighty impacted the souls of human beings, especially those who accepted their instructions and teachings.

Christmas is coming and, across the world, many people will be commemorating the birth of Christ or celebrating Christmas. I distinguish between the commemoration of the Birth of His Holiness Christ and the celebration of Christmas, because I suspect (this is my personal opinion) that the two have become separate festivals in the last two thousand years or so.
