Christmas 2012

As we honor the birth of the Christ Consciousness in the form of the blessed Lord Jesus, may our hearts be uplifted anew by the joy and hope so strongly felt during this sacred season.
The coming of such great ones who purely reflect God’s light strengthens our faith that we too can experience a rebirth from a matter-bound existence to the limitless nature of our soul.
We behold in them our own infinite potential to expand our consciousness and manifest in our individual lives and our relationships with others God’s goodness and love.

Though centuries have come and gone since Jesus was born the power of his example and his omnipresent love continues to transform receptive souls.
He too lived in a time of much strife and turmoil, but he showed us how to respond divinely. He urged us to attune ourselves with the Heavenly Father and thus rise above the dualities of this world and to find peace within, so that we can pass this love and peace on to others.

By dwelling on Christ’s life and striving to emulate the qualities he expressed, we will open our hearts to absorb more deeply the spirit that was manifest in him and all God-united souls.
As great an example to humanity as Jesus was, yet even greater was his humility, which allowed him to perfectly express God’s will and His love.
As long as we live within the confines of our ego’s needs and opinions, we easily create barriers that separate us from God and one another. But when we think less of our self, we become more receptive to His influence, thus expanding our understanding and compassion for others.
Secure in the love of God, Christ was free of any need for position or outer recognition. He sought only to serve, and by doing the same we can know, as he did, the joy of giving.
Christ saw the Divine in everyone, even in those who had erred, for he looked beyond their human flaws to see their true Self, the Divine spark that exists in all.
We too must practice the loving, non-judgmental attitude that comes in realizing, that God is in every soul.”

Every outreaching act enlarges our consciousness, but it is by going into the inner silence where restless thoughts and emotions subside that we can fully experience the peace that surpasses all understanding.
Christ felt the infinite love by which God is drawing all souls back to Him. Such depth of inner communion comes to us gradually, but each effort can bring into our lives greater calmness, empathy, and closeness to the Divine.
We can attain a communion of unutterable sweetness by expressing our love for God. We need to open ourselves to the Infinite Grace that is showered on us as a priceless gift that God offers to all of us.
May the Christmas Season be a joyous soul-awakening time for us to share with others.
