Christian Psychology · Matthew 2:10
Christian Psychology
A mind that has been following a small steady light and feared it might lose the way finds the light again and is flooded with a joy far beyond the occasion. That overflow is the sign that something deeper than the eyes has recognized its home. The star is the gleam of guidance that fear cannot extinguish, the sense within that love is leading somewhere real, and to see it once more is to know the seeking was never in vain.
Such joy is not manufactured. It rises of itself the instant the mind trusts that it is being led, the exceeding gladness being simply what the heart feels when it remembers it was never truly lost.

Esoteric · Revelation 22:16
Esoteric
The root and the offspring are one being seen from both ends: the same spirit is the source a person springs from and the flower that springs from a person, the beginning and the ripened end of the inner work. David is the beloved center, the awakened self the whole body serves.
The morning star is Venus, which shines just before dawn and heralds the sun, so this names the last bright rising in a person before full illumination breaks, the herald light that announces the coming day inside.
- Root and offspring of David: the one spirit as both the source of the awakened self and its ripened fruit.
- Morning star: Venus heralding the dawn, the herald light in a person that rises just before full illumination.
