Hi. Merry Christmas. The cane is an esoteric symbol that dates at least
back to ancient Egypt (the crook and the flagel). Also, regarding Saint
Nicholas, this is said to refer to an individual, but/and if we look at the
word in the context of all the other symbolism of Santa Claus, what can the
consonant base, nck, possibly refer to? What is a nick? How can this be
related to "Santa Claus?" Remember the ancient axiom, "as above, so below."
The cane is a great turning. Lets try do it consciously, and put a new spin
on things, so we can be able/

Regarding the "root races," what possible FUNCTION can this concept provide,
whatever it refers to? It is an oxymoron, as it useless, as far as I can
see, and serves no function in the application of any kind of practical
metaphysics (spiritual development of human beings.) If you can think of an
answer to this question, I would be most interested in hearing it, and am
prepared to enquire into this further, with an open heart and mind.
SinSEARly, Wry. p.s. I AM partying. This is the best Christmas yet, and
that is saying a lot. Love and merry XXXXXMASS
