Many thanks, John. Thank you so much for this book reference. A great source indeed of some few of the Sun Gods. JPC.
"From the very night of time, as well you know, the period wherein the sun moves northward again has been regarded as a festival season; for thousands of years it has been associated with the coming of the Sun-God to save the world, to bring light and fruitfulness to the Earth and through the work of the Son of God to bring hope to humanity." Destiny of the Nations 147.
"Thus, when Christ proclaimed (as He assuredly did), along with all world Saviors and Sun-Gods, that He was the Light of the worlds, He inaugurated a marvelous period in which humanity has been widely and universally enlightened." DN 148.

This is often greatly misunderstood. But it is part of our teachings. JPC.

> "On the other hand, regarded in the light of the LOGOS, the Christian Saviour, like Krishna, whether as man or logos, may be said to have saved those who believed in the secret teachings from "eternal death," to have conquered the Kingdom of Darkness, or Hell, as every Initiate does. This in the human, terrestrial form of the Initiates, and also because the logos is Christos, that principle of our inner nature which develops in us into the Spiritual Ego -- the Higher-Self -- being formed of the indissoluble union of Buddhi (the sixth) and the spiritual efflorescence of Manas" SD2 230.
