When Alvin Boyd Kuhn speaks of "christianity" he means "literalistic misinterpretation of ancient scripture."
Here, he reminds us that the birth of the divine child is an esoteric dramatization of the true Self to whom we all have access, but from whom we so easily become estranged and alienated.
The ancient myths and sacred stories the world over are dramatizing for us the same grand theme which runs through them all like a golden thread: know thy Self.
Alvin Boyd Kuhn declares: "The real heresy and apostasy is to miss deity where it is to be had -- in the blind effort to seek it where it is not available" (Lost Light, 46).
