When winter approaches the noble man focuses on what needs to accomplish, on puzzles that must dissolve , about what they can learn, on what needs to improve within himself and around him . Point by point he sets the days program and save in exceptional cases duly made it. In this way the heat will turn on the body, this heat became more intense becomes the inner light , the light that illuminates the world , and drops the outer darkness . While the man steps up and gives you more energy to his thought , the winter sunlight penetrates deep into the earth and transmits until then the forces that fuel life that will manifest itself in the future spring. While the land becomes barren of vegetation, the vital force is concentrated at the roots of plants, humus of the earth. The nature spirits rest in peace in the bosom of the earth , retained by the force of gravity while in the world above all is cold and darkness they weave the web of life of the new year . Right in the deepest winter takes on the face of the Earth Mother who is to generate the Future Life . The face of the Earth covered with snow becomes white and pure : looks like the clear face , pale and rosy of a woman who is about to become a mother . About pauses to contemplate the face of a woman who is blessed to give birth sees in it the charm of the Moon Goddess . Who walks on a snowy landscape under a full moon sees as the land covered with snow takes itself a pure lunar manifests itself in those same divine forces - the moon that bind to the generation and reproduction of living forms . Then, when you walk on a snow covered landscape bathed in sun meridian , we realize that the bottom of snow and ice on the ground creates a kind of mirror that reflects cosmic rays and the spiritual influences of the Sun When a woman is about to become a mother buys a beauty of pure lunar type . Even when the land is to be the Sacred Winter Solstice moon shows its face , and its surface covered with ice soaks in the light of the Sun The white blanket of snow attracts the suns rays : These rays in the days of the Solstice descend on earth : the divine power of the sun descends into the terrestrial matter At the Winter Solstice becomes Mother Earth : the Great Mother Earth at Christmas in the Universe generates the Child Solar . The imagination that binds to the Winter Solstice : the dark time of the cosmos, the Mother Goddess generates the Child Solar . This charging of the most sublime spiritual forces accompanied man since the dawn of his earthly incarnation , when he was a child in the womb of Mother Earth. As Isis, like Demeter , such as the Madonna of the Italian painters of the fourteenth century , the image of the Mother Goddess with Child Solar spans the centuries and religions. This image must be intensely evoked in the interior when it comes to the Winter Solstice : The Divine Mother with the head irradiated by a stellar corona . The Child in his mothers arms , like a small Sun shining heavenly atmosphere . The Puer born at Christmas is the Invincible Sun , which descends on Earth and is embodied in the ego of Men : solar force acts in the intelligence of men, in their noble sentiment, in the power of action. When the principles of November the nights are getting colder and the air is purified completely losing the sensuality of summer inner attention can begin to address the image of the Mother Goddess and Child. The image of the Mother Goddess with Child Solar draws man to his spiritual duties and land , conveys to those who meditate with the most sublime forces to face the new year is born from the darkness of winter. At the beginning of winter, when the rigors of the climate light in man the desire to find calm in the heart of the house, where the fire burns the family [ 4], the spiritual attention focuses on the sacred mystery of the Incarnation , the Spirit Solar is embodied in the Earth and acts through the conscious will of men. And the atmosphere of the earth , made from pure white brilliance of the snow , the souls of the unborn through the door of the solstice , incarnating now or waiting for the right moment to incarnate during the year.
