STAR IN THE EAST
A symbol of the rise of knowledge forecasting
perception of the Truth — Christ born in the soul.
“And the wise men, having heard the king, went their way; and lo,
the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came
and stood over where the young child was.” — MATTHEW ii. 9.
The intellectual faculties, having observed the apparently
favourable attitude of the lower principle (Herod), pursued their
course, enlightened by the knowledge dawning through philosophy and
science, which led them to the inner abode of the Christ‑soul.
“But wherefore is it to a Cave and a Stable that the Star of the
Understanding directs the steps of the Wise Men when seeking the
birthplace of the Christ? Because, ‘In the elements of the Body is
he imprisoned, lying asleep in the caves of Iacchos, in the crib of
the Oxen of Demeter.’ Because, that is, in constituting the
culmination of the returning and ascending stream of emanation,
Christ is attained by evolution from the lowest — from the dust of
the ground to the throne of the Most High.” — *The Perfect Way*, p.
240.
