A non‑dual gnostic interpretation of Christmas sees it not as a historical event but as an inner drama of awakening:
- Christ is the divine Self
- Mary and Joseph are the harmonized inner faculties
- The star is intuition
- The Magi are higher wisdom
- Herod is the ego
- Bethlehem is the heart
- The birth is the moment of gnosis
Christmas becomes a celebration of the birth of divine awareness within the human soul.
