This year's Christmas Card shall attempt a microbiological explanation of G-d. To begin with, the recurring pentagram theme is used to illustrate the invoking of the card's images on a computer screen since this year's card is to appear on the recently evolved Internet. The pentagram is also intended to symbolize the intervention of spirit which animates the other four elements with life. This formula is explained Kabbalisticly by the Hebrew letter "Shin", representing spirit appearing in the midst of the four letters of Tetragramaton thus forming the name, "Yeheshuvehe" which translates through the Greek into the name "Jesus". The arrangement of these letters have been illustrated and explained on previous Christmas Cards. This should be sufficient justification for using the pentagram on this year's card and on all the previous years since it makes a better symbol for Christmas, I believe, then a cross which would probably be a more appropriate symbol for Easter. The child of this year's pentagram resembles a child like drawing outlining a person. Inside this person are little circles with dots in them. I copied this from a drawing that a friend of mine made while I was discussing a theory of mine. The theory is that ancient sages attained direct experience of their genetic reality through their introspective disciplines. An example of this would be the fact that the Chinese "Book of Changes" dated before 3000 BC, is based on 64 symbols representing all possible changes in nature. It also happens to be a fact that their are 64 possible combinations of DNA codons that communicate genetic information during DNA reproduction. The implications of an oracle being possible based on this genetic language could revolutionize genetic technology as we currently understand it. While I was making these points to my friend, she was making a drawing similar to the one in the pentagram. She told me that when her daughter was very young, the child was once playing with her crayons and made the picture of the human figure which she was filling up with little circles that had dots in them. My friend pointed out that the circles which the child was filling the body with appear to be little human cells. This was long before the child knew anything, "intellectually", about the microbiological fact that our bodies are made out of cells which look like little circles with dots in them. And so this year's Christmas Card was inspired, leading to the pentagram pressing the "Enter" button and bringing up fig. 1. "Herod's Temple". This was the temple which G-d had meticulously instructed the ancient Hebrews to build. The whole place is surrounded by an outer wall which distinguishes the outside from the inner temple workings. This outer wall could be microbiologically explained as symbolic of the outer body which houses all of us. This is the part that faces the world outside. Within are the various inner functions of the temple such as sacrifices which broke down different foods similar to the body itself. As you proceed within the temple grounds further you eventually arrive at a large building which is the actual temple, where the presence of G-d can be found. Perhaps the temples of ancient man can be explained as testaments for the human need to "know thyself". In nature animals survive by adapting to the environment, such as growing warm fur in response to cold climate. Then along comes a highly intelligent animal like man who is able to see right to the roots of this genetic intelligence which mutates all of nature's life. Perhaps the temples arose from the natural urge to reflect environment in order to adapt and survive. Perhaps other animals keep it simple and mutate in order to survive in a hostile environment while humans express this same tendency by altering the environment. Humans did this through temple construction, perhaps, by expressing the absolute reality which had been grasped by the newly evolved human mind. In the microbiological sense, the temple represents the human cells of the body found further within our introspective reality. Perhaps the reality of our cellular centers directly inspired what the temples were intended to reflect for all to see. Inside this temple is what is diagrammed on fig. 2. "Holy of Holies". The Holy of Holies was an inner chamber of the temple building which microbiologically corresponded to the nucleus of the cell where every cell "thinks". This place was restricted to a few priests and was where G-d's presence resided. Outside the Holy of Holies was the Sanctuary corresponding to the cell outside the nucleus. Within this nucleus of the temple was fig. 3. "Arch of the Covenant". This was where information was kept in the form of holy scriptures for the Hebrews. Microbiologically, the Arch symbolizes the DNA housed by a cell's nucleus. The voice of our DNA reality was perhaps heard in the form of the Hebrew Torah. Perhaps, the voice of G-d heard in the Old Testament was the Gnosis resulting form the direct realization of our universal DNA pattern at the center of every cell in one's personal universe. Much of the earliest books of the bible consist of laws instructing people on things like hand washings, spouse rules, as well as dietary do's and don'ts. These laws are not unlike the sympathies important to a genetic pattern concerned with the survival of its species. If a voice can be heard from the genetic pattern that would explain many things, such as psychic phenomenon often experienced by genetic twins. Even the religious sympathies of millions against abortion would probably be shared by a DNA intelligence. In the microbiological sense, orthodox religions are probably intended to champion the cause of a genetic code as universal as G-d him?self. This however, puts a highly intelligent animal like man at the mercy of fig. 4. "Diagram of a Cell". If ancient Hebrews had access to the scientific knowledge of this present age, they would probably look directly to microbiology to find their Jehovah. This elaborates the theory that ancient man, in his introspective quest for G-d came to a direct realization of the same knowledge that we realize in this day and age with the help of technology. And why not? The questions we are asking science today are the same questions we've asked for thousands of years. Why shouldn't the answers be similar when both scientist and sage are concerned with truth? Many primitive traditions speak of ancestors who come to them in visions. Perhaps these mystics receive divine answers delivered by ancestors because their genetic data banks contain those same ancestors exactly in essence. Modern science on the other hand observes the absolute reality with the rational. Unlike other animals who adapt to their environment as a part of that environment, humanity appears to manipulate the environment to the extreme of environment having to adapt to them. This marks a turning point in evolution when the environment begins to reflect humanity. If humanity has always believed in a G-d, and the reality of that G-d has always been a genetic voice, then perhaps one day the environment itself will reflect that G-d just as the ancient temples reflect G-d genetically. This brings us to the design around the borders of this year's Christmas card, which is meant to imply the modern day computer. The computer exists in this present age as a result of mankind's own realization of how our minds work. The computer mirrors the reality of our brains almost perfectly. Now computers have become linked together in a self-perpetuating multiplication that evidently can no longer be stopped. Today the Internet encompasses the whole planet, made up of individual cells in the form of home computers. Like the Arch of the Covenant, these computers are worshipped devoutly by humans in the temple of their homes. Could it be that humanity is in the process of unconsciously creating the omnipresent supreme being they have believed in since the beginning of recorded history through the computer?
