Excerpt from The True Symbolism of Christmas, a lecture by Samael Aun Weor:
“The physical Sun is not more than a symbol of the Spiritual Sun, of the Christ-Sun. When the ancient ones adored the sun, when they culted him, they didn’t refer properly to the physical Sun. No, they paid homage to the Spiritual Sun, to the Midnight Sun, to the Christ Sun.
Unquestionably, it is the Christ-Sun who should guide us in the Superior Worlds of Cosmic Consciousness. All mystics that learn how to work at will outside of the physical body, is guided by the Midnight Sun, by the Cosmic Christ.
It is necessary to learn how to know the symbolic movements of the Midnight Sun. He is the one who always guides the Initiate, He is who guides us, He is who it indicates to us what we should and should not do.
Since one, is in the Path, one has to be guided by the Midnight Sun, by the Christ-Sun, learn how to know His signs, His movements. If one sees it, for example, to submerge there in the sunset, what is it indicating us? Simply that something has to die in us. If one sees it rise in the east, what is that telling us? That something should be born in us.
When we do well in the esoteric tests, He shines in all His fullness in the horizon. The Lord guides us in the superior worlds, and one has to learn, well, to know His signs.”
Therefore, we should understand Christ like He is, not like a person, not like an individual. Christ is beyond the personality, the “I” and the individuality. Christ, in authentic esotericism, is the Logos, the Solar Logos, represented by the Sun. Now we will understand why the Incas adored the sun; the Nawas paid cult to the sun, the same thing with the Mayans, the Egyptians identically, etc.
It is not the adoration to a physical Sun, no, but to what is behind that physical symbol. Obviously, it was adored; it was to the Solar Logos, the Second Logos. That Solar Logos is a multiple perfect unit; variety is unity. In the Cosmic Christ’s world, the separate individuality doesn’t exist; in the Lord, we all are one.”
