In glorifying Jesus Christ, we should remember Bethlehem and the Holy Lands are not mere geopolitical locations but rather refelect a state of the pure spiritual mind , although this is little understood. Enemies are not so much external forces or even other countries or other faiths, but rather, they come from within ourselves and in hellish consciousness we create hell for ourselves and others around us . Many times, it is the case that someone’s faith makes them proud and arrogant,  quite the opposite qualities of saints . There are different types of irreligions  , including those who twist the meaning to suit the personal ends of a particular group of persons living in a geographical location .The five types of irreligion are given in the Vedas . The enemy can literally be within and at times at  the very heart of our own faith . If our scholars and theologians mistranslate or misinterpret pure scripts we are led by the irreligious.
Jesus Christs’ persecution, for instance, came from within the establishment.
In spiritual life, we should guard against our own minds and look out for fanaticism of any kind ,  and  we should be somewhat familiar with theological values , and those  who  misinterpret scripts can be identified.

The pogues .

The Pogues Xmas song reminds us of the fragile condition of human nature that is liable to erupt and explode at any time , but also we are reminded of the nature of a pure consciousness and forgiveness.  Good hearts are actually inherant. All beings have potential.

Hildegard von Bingen.

Any person who wants to understand the real heart of Christianity can do so in  profound ways . Examining the life and works of Hildegard von Bingen, the trancendental musician,  artist , philosopher, and pure theologian who is able to transmit the pure original teaching of Jesus and his Divine father is well worth studying.

We should remember Vrndavana or Bethlehem or Mecca or the like are ultimately a state of pure mind , not a geographical location , and they are representative of the spiritual kingdoms.
