Exactly! One was simply a man; the other, an invention - an amalgam of myths and magic never far from the philosopher's stone.
However, if one finds peace in the latter, may the gods bless and keep him safe!
If you insist on light being an invention rather than the bearer of invention may we with some certainty place you in the creationist camp? The word Christ and it's meaning are now heavily laden with error. That word means light. Light is the visible manifestation (for humans)of life, it could not have taken the reasoning mind of man
many days to determine the power of light in every form of life they studied, at every turn light was common to all forms of matter, the living and the inorganic as well. So to herald light as the One is entirely reasonable
and science being entirely reasonable agrees, not a flea nor a dandy lion would hazard to guess otherwise. That big irradiating ball in the heavens is in fact an agent of the one God. There is nothing that is not found in light. Peace, riot, life death stone butterflies maggots volcanoes all obey that light those that rebel transpire unsaved to the elemental regions where they begin again the climb to light. And they will do this without rest until they realize their purpose in life, seven or nothing. There is no rest or peace for the wicked as the wicked refuse the balm of light. AMEN by the way brother Spade we've noticed the plate a bit lighter these past few Sundays even as having passed by your hand. insert big smiley
We could do just as well with Christ in Bob or Christ in Doug.
This is informative indeed. The process

of divination begins with the highest God and is relayed, in ever diminishing power, from rank to rank, down to the animal.
Only by living on the lees of the superior order can each kingdom link itself to its appropriate measure of divine vivification.
By such occult analysis is it possible to see the meaning of the final hint of danger expressed by the line: "for if you worship their gods it will endanger you." This work has already set forth the peril involved for the heavenly visitant in taking residence in animal forms, if it permitted itself to "worship their gods" of sensuality and beastliness. A number of passages of scripture admonish the children of light to "make no compact" with the "natives" of that realm to which they were sent, nor to marry their "women"!
The sum of this material which shows the world to be figuratively "at sixes and sevens" is that conscious life was in servitude and bondage to blind unintelligent elemental forces for six aeons, three in the invisible and three in the visible worlds, and was only lifted up to the liberty of sons of God when
the spiritual fire of the spiritual sun, the second Adam or the Christ, was set in the heavens of man’s conscious being as the ruler of the six sub-mental powers. In Galatians (4) Paul clearly states that when we were children in evolution "we were in bondage to them that by nature are no gods." We were in slavery to the elementals of the earth and of the air, as he distinctly says! He warns his brethren not to come under the power of these elementals, as it would endanger their spiritual integrity.
Stars are closely intermingled with the fire symbolism. They are themselves fiery in constitution, blazing suns or their planets. Stars were considered the children of Ra, the great lord of the spiritual sun, who emaned them like tears from his eyes. Souls were his offspring, centrally nucleated by his solar fire. He was the parent of the Kumaras. Stars were held to be a race of higher beings, having souls of the essence of light coming from the sun. "I have shed my seed (of light) abroad for you," he says to his sons.11 In the Book of Adam and Eve, translated from the Ethiopic by Malan, God says: "I made thee of the light, and I wished to bring out children of the light from thee." The sun’s children were called Ruti, or men of excellence. Under the name of Khabsu the stars are synonymous with souls, as also in the name of Seb. Souls in Amenta were represented by stars. As the souls arose in their resurrection they appeared above the horizon on the eastern
324
side of heaven. This is why the rising star of the solar deity born in mankind was seen "in the east" in the Gospel story. It dies in the west, like the sun, and has its new birth in the house of bread (Bethlehem) in the east. The god Shu-Anhur was called the "lifter up of the sky," together with its inhabitants, the stars. Ra addresses Shu: "Be the guardian of the multitudes that live in the nocturnal sky," or sky of the Lower Egypt of Amenta. "Put them on thy head and be their fosterer," or sustainer.
Spiritually this betokens the elevation of our elemental nature by the shifting of the center of intellectual and spiritual gravity above the horizon in the heaven of consciousness. The stars were in fact the bodies of gods, and the lucent fragment of deity in man is his star. AB KHUN LOSTLIGHT
