"In the cranium" (or skull), Begolgoltha, or in Golgotha. In the New Testament it is worthy of note that Jesus Christ (the Son) is said to be crucified at Golgotha (the skull); while here, in the Kabbalah, Mircoprosopus (the Son) as the Tetragrammation, is said to be extended in the form of a cross, thus—in Golgotha (the skull).

"And amid the insupportable brilliance of that mighty light, as it were, the likeness of a head appeareth. (That is, the highest crown is found in Macroprosopus).

"And above him is the plenteous dew, diverse with two-fold color. (Like as in Macroprosopus it is white alone, so here it is white and red, on account of the judgments).

"It is written in Isa. XXXIII.20: 'Thine eyes shall behold Jerusalem at peace, even thy habitation.'

"The 'peaceful habitation' is the Ancient One, who is hidden and concealed.

"Macroprosopus is only the COMMENCEMENT OF THE MANIFESTED DEITY.

"And when a man wisheth to utter his prayers rightly before his Lord and his lips move themselves in this manner, his invocations, rising upward from him, for the purpose of magnifying the majesty of his Lord, unto the place of abundance of pure water where the depth of that fountain riseth and floweth forth (that is understanding emanating from wisdom); then (that fountain floweth forth plentifully, and) spreadeth abroad, so as to send down the influx from the Highest, downward from that place of abundance of water, into paths singly and conjointly, even unto the last path; in order that her bountiful grace may be derived into all from the highest downward."

SANTA CLAUS

All down the ages there have been stories of fairies, gnomes, mermaids, naiads and fabled characters galore.

The ancient Norsemen, Dutch, Huns and all the oriental races possess literature prolific with allegories, parables and fables built around the wonders and physical and chemical operations of the human body.

The birth of the monthly seed is the basis of the Mother Goose Stories and similar tales in all lands.

Santa Claus, or Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of seafarers, virgins and children, is the bearer of gifts to children on Christmas eve.

Of all festivals celebrated all over the known world, that held in honor of Santa Claus ranks as first in the hearts of all humanity, old as well as young. This in itself is a most significant fact.

It is time that the truth in regard to this age long custom be made known to the world, time that its real and true significance be understood. Then will it be truly celebrated, for it will have become an inward process, as well as an outward observation.

Parents, from time immemorial, have explained to their children that the presents which they found in their stockings, when they jumped eagerly from their beds in the morning, were placed there by a mysterious person called "Santa Claus." No one saw him come, no one saw him leave, but he left unmistakable evidence of his visit.

Some children ask many questions in regard to this mysterious "person," and when they become too insistent the ingenuity of parents is sorely taxed to give satisfactory answers. There comes a time, however, when they must have the Santa Claus "myth" explained to them, and it is then that their deep childlike trust and confidence in their parents receives its first shock. Thereafter they commence to doubt their parents, to question their veracity,

and many tears have been shed, because, after all Santa was not a "really, truly person.'

THERE IS A SANTA CLAUS, IT IS A PHYSIOLOGICAL FACT, and IT does "SECRETE" the most holy and wonderful "gift" or substance in the body of every individual. Those who understand it—who receive it in the right spirit—have "Become as little children." "As above, so below." As in the Macrocosm—the universe, so in the microcosm-man.

Can anyone think for one moment that the parables, fables, allegories and myths that have come down to us through the ages have no basic foundation? They, as well as the fast days and feast days are founded on great esoteric truths. Otherwise they would have ceased to be.

The Great Hierarchy that rules the Universe see to it that nothing is forgotten that needs to be remembered.

Santa Claus, or Saint Claus, is derived from the same root word as "claustrum," from which "cloister" is also derived. Claustrum means a barrier, a covered place, seclusion. Cloister is referred to as a place of seclusion, and more especially as a place of seclusion for something holy, something dedicated to divinity.

There is a Saint Claus, or Claustrum within the cerebrum, and whoever gave it that name knew why they did so.

The suture of the skull is the point where the bones meet. We can very easily see this place on the head of infants, as the sections are not then drawn closely together, and the vibrations of the brain can be both seen and felt.

In Sanscrit this is called "The Door of Brahm," for it is the apperture through which the Ego, or Spirit leaves the body. It is also the chimney of Santa Claus.

The vertebrae as a whole is called the "stick of Brahm."

Directly underneath the "door of Brahm" is a triangular shaped body named in physiology the "Island of Reil." This is the place where "John" was when "he" looked back and saw the wonderful vision of the regenerated man in the "Isle of Patmos" This island is the central lobe of the cerebrum, and is also called the Pole;

hence, the Island of Reil is the North Pole of the body, and is, as we well know, the imperishable, sacred land.

In Santee's anatomy of the brain and spinal cord, we find that this island is "situated in the medial wall of the lateral fissure of the cerebrum, between the frontal, parietal and temporal lobes, whose growth, after the fifth month in utero, gradually covers it over. At the end of the first year of extrauterine life, it is entirely concealed by temporal, parietal and frontal parts of the operculum" -cover or lid. Thus we see that Mother Nature has taken great pains to conceal this sacred center.

Underneath this island, and directly in a line with the Optic Thalamus lies the Claustrum, but separated from it by yet three other bodies.

The claustrum is a thin sheet of isolated gray matter, found just medial to the Island of Reil. Santee says it "is a sheet of peculiar gray substance, and is made up of fusiform (spindle shaped) cell-bodies." It is from this claustrum that contains yellow substance within its outer grayish exterior, that the wonderful, priceless OIL is formed that flows down into the olivary fasciculus, "descending with the rubro-spinal tract through the reticular formation in the pons and medulla to the lateral column of the spinal cord. It terminates in the gray matter of the spinal cord, probably giving off collaterals to corresponding nuclei in the brain stem."—Santee. This is the OIL, the precious gift of which the Bible speaks, "Thou anointest my head with oil."

And not only is there oil manufactured within this special laboratory of the brain, but there is actually an olive tree, which bears actual olives—so named in any anatomy. The two olives are two infinitesimal eminences on either side of the medulla, with the Pyramid between. They are one-half inch in length. It is found well developed only in the higher mammals. They are RELAY (Santee) stations between the cerebrum and the cerebellum and between the spinal cord and the cerebellum.

This oil is the most sacred substance in the body—it is the quintessence of gold—the "Gold of Ophir"—most truly a rare gift. Globules of oil are found in the vital fluid, the semen, and when the prodigal son has wasted

his substance, he finds that it takes a long time to replace the deficiency and make good the looted bank account.

This wonderful oil is the secret work of the immaculate Virgin, Mary (or Mare) 'represented by the sign Virgo. In chemistry we find that sulphate of potassium is the mineral salt, which, uniting with sulphur and oxygen, manufactures the oil. We find that this salt also crystallizes out from the mother-liquors of sea water and salt springs. People born under the sign Virgo, if they have become deficient in this salt suffer from dryness of the skin, and baldness. We can also understand why draining of the vital fluid—living in excesses, will also produce baldness. If there were no oil in the body, the skin would become harsh and dry.

The story of the wise virgins who had their lamps trimmed and filled with oil is given to emphasize the necessity for the presence of oil in the body, for they cannot go out to meet the "bridegroom" unless their lamps are burning. "The lamb is the lamp thereof."

The olives, which contain the oil, are the reservoirsthe relay stations, of course, which furnish the oil for the lamp, the pineal gland, at the top of which is the flame or eye. When the Kundalini, the serpent fire that lies concealed within the sacral plexus is awakened, burns up the dross within the spinal cord, and reaches the conarium, it sets fire to this oil and thus lights the "perpetual lamp," which "Gives the light to the whole house.'

Santa Claus is thus the giver of the supreme gift in the human body, the oil for the perpetual lamp—the gold of Ophir, the quintessence of richness.

A total lack of oil in the body will, in itself, cause death.

Santa Claus brings his gifts when the Christ-mass is celebrated.

The Greek characters that stand for Christ are X PI, and the word itself (Christ) means oil, in Greek. The seed is the bread of life, and when anointed with oil (Christed and crucified) become the Christ-mass—the bread, eaten in the Father's Kingdom.

Thus we now clearly understand the meaning of Santa Claus and his Christmas visit with gifts to the children.
