" Exploring Every Corner of the Cosmos in Search of Knowledge
in the Spirit of the Three Wise Men from the East"
I wish the fulfillment of the season on every group I belong to and on everyone in those groups.
We celebrate the birth of a great, mysterious and controversial person, Jesus Christ.
The three wise men are described as bringing three gifts to Jesus on his birth.
After that, there is no more mention of them.
Who were these mysterious figures?
Even if one were to take the story as pure imagination, the role of the three men remains enigmatic, their image compelling.
This mystery is amplified by the associations of how they were motivated to go on this journey and where they came from.
They are described as coming from the East and as being guided by star.
Is that star not yourself, is that child the men traveled so far to see and to give those gifts not yourself?
Yourself, born with such magnificent potential and given gifts to help you realize that potential.
Where are the gifts?
They are within and around you.
They are often obscured by the busyness of the common day, the noise of the moment.
Try to recognise and unwrap them.
