Gift Of This Holy Season

Once upon a time, at the very start of time, there was a wondrous light. A wondrous light that was All That Was. A wondrous light of love. A wondrous light of joy. A wondrous light filled with its own abundance. For it was All That Was, and so its abundance was all abundance.

Each of you is a perfect combination of mind and spirit, working in harmony to expand energy on the earth. The mind chooses what it wishes to create according to the path the soul has determined for the lifetime. Spirit intends healing and transformation and while those are its choices for each lifetime, it is what the mind chooses that determines the outcome. If intention is set from spirit then the mind has a different path for its choosing. Otherwise, the mind makes its own choices.

The mind is limited to its experience of life, the collection of emotions, beliefs and thinking that it has always used to create. This is its path for each lifetime. But the purpose of every lifetime is to integrate mind and spirit, so that the mind can work with spirit's intention for transformation instead of its destined path of fear. Integration is created by balancing mind and spirit, releasing fear and allowing a higher vibration to enter the mind's reality.

But sometimes this is seen as the need to release the mind/ego and make it less important. Spirit needs the mind, just as the mind needs spirit, for action and the path of transformation requires the mind's participation. Since the mind reflects the energy of the third dimension, the mind's transformation is what will move humanity into ascension. Spirit is the mind's ascension guide and its desire is to create an equal partnership, where neither aspect is more important but both need to work together.

This can be an effortless journey when the focus is on integration and not domination. Spirit cannot dominate the mind as that is not its nature. The mind has the power to overpower spirit but that is not its purpose. When intention for transformation is accepted by the mind and partnership with spirit is viewed as the most perfect and effortless way for this to happen, the purpose of transformation becomes intentional, and as each step unfolds, the path to the best and most perfect outcome for that moment is available. Then the mind and spirit can journey together as partners in your ascension journey.

This year may not have fulfilled its promise, but that is all the more to look forward to in 2011. It will undoubtedly be a year of many surprises, and we shall finally see the fruits of all the effort put in to bring Light to the Earth. It will be most illuminating as the truth surfaces in respect of the dark Ones, and their plans are revealed for all to contemplate. Better still we should learn of the plans of those that have come to free us from enforced imprisonment.

Thank you for your support and long may it continue. We do not have far to go now to establish that elusive peace that is ours by rights. Keep spreading the Light more than ever before, and we shall defeat those who have set themselves up as our Controllers.

There was once a king who offered a prize to the artist who could paint the best picture of peace. Many artists tried. The king looked at all the pictures, but there were only two that he really liked, and he had to choose between them.

One picture was of a calm lake. The lake was a perfect mirror for the peaceful towering mountains all around it. Overhead was a blue sky with fluffy white clouds. All who saw this picture thought that it was a perfect picture of peace.

The second picture had mountains, too. But these were rugged and bare. Above was an angry sky from which rain fell, and in which lightening played. Down the side of the mountain tumbled a foaming waterfall. This did not look peaceful at all.

"Because," explained the king, "peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. Peace means to be in the midst of all those things and still be calm in your heart. That is the real meaning of peace."

Hark. The Herald Angels are singing. Can you hear the Angel voices? They are inviting you into their midst. They are calling you to rejoice in the Divine Love and Light streaming onto the planet during this special time of Christmas.

Can you hear the Angels whispering to you? Listen with your heart. Allow your whole being to be receptive to these Divine Messengers who have watched over you throughout your soul’s existence. They are here now with one voice singing the idea of Peace within all beings. Making a joyful noise, they offer you the gifts of Divine Light and a Love beyond your understanding. Receive it into your being and shine this blessed Light out into the world.

Just be receptive now and allow Divine Grace to fill your being. This is one of the Angelic Gifts being offered at this time. Grace is needed to sanctify the Earth, and to bring greater coherence, respect and honoring of the gifts the earth supplies in abundance. It is time for the people to offer to themselves and to their planetary home the nurturing it needs to sustain life. When humans honor the Earth, they also honor the elements of themselves that make up the Earth.

In fact it is your birthright to live in harmony with the earth, to feel Divine Love in your being and the power of Life Force surging through you in ever increasing waves. Allow it to spark every cell in your body and increase love in your being. As you do this, you glow as a radiant light. It shines forth from you and you become the Light to the World that the earth needs right now. It is a choice for you to make moment to moment, and requires a goal for the harmony you want in your life, and a mental flip of the switch within your thoughts to create it.

Becoming a Light to the world is not arrogant. When one carries conscious awareness of these higher truths, it becomes your duty. As the apparent darkness of chaos and fear are so obvious, what could you need more than Light? At this Christmas time the Light of the Christ energy is more available than ever before. This blessing carries the energy of Divine Love into your heart and out into your world.

Feel this Light in you that holds the divine qualities of Wisdom and Love, and share it with others. Radiate Light to your government and the world leaders. Send it to areas of suffering in the world, and to those who work hard to ease the suffering. Transmit Divine Light to the environment, and to all the living beings that are not human on this beautiful planet. Don’t forget to shine the healing Light onto yourself and to your families. This energy brightens and reconfigures the power that inspires you into Divine Right Action. It is one way to bring harmony and overcome despair within yourself and the world.

As you celebrate the gifts of this Christmas season, there are many who remember the Angels during this time more than at any other time of the year. There are legions of Angels gathering ever nearer the earth now, drawn by the prayers and the thoughts of so many people. This is a tremendous blessing that opens your heart to more love and allows your mind to receive a greater level of Grace. It is a good time to take a moment to honor and connect with your Angelic guides. Ask for personal assistance in all areas of your life and listen – really listen, as the Angels whisper in your heart. They want you to follow your heart’s message and feel the guidance available to you from the spiritual realms.

There is an Angelic representation for the Soul of the Earth and the Heavenly Realms. Your guardian Angel can work with these Angelic beings to bring more harmony within you so you can feel more connection to your Spiritual Source and more inner peace.

Your Guardian Angel has been given this duty to help you to live in alignment with your goals and intentions for this life. Through your personal guardian angel you can learn to live in greater harmony with yourself as a prerequisite for Peace on Earth. This Angel is also offering to you the ability to feel Oneness and Union with your most divine self.

As you have grown into adulthood your guardian angel waits for you to ask for help. Consider that it is now time to ask. This Guardian Angel has been with your soul since its incarnation, offering guidance and protection so you may find your Divinity and fulfill your spiritual destiny. This beloved angel has intervened on your behalf to relieve your karma and wants nothing more than the fulfillment of your soul’s imperatives. Take time to feel gratitude for this Divine Messenger who has such care for you.

At this holy time of the year, there is also more awareness of the Archangels. Archangel Gabriel holds the empowerment for the winter season, and stories abound of his intervention throughout the ages during the darkest nights. The Archangels are given divine charge over all communities, nations and seasons. During the 12 Holy Nights beginning December 24, the Archangels freely erase all boundaries between nations and factions. The Light of True Peace prevails in the Heavenly realms, and can be called forth onto the Earth. Join with the angelic host to spread this Light through your own life and pray for healing of all nations and families. Use this pervasive light from the Archangels to bring greater consciousness through you and all beings on earth. This energy can make a true difference, bringing Peace within all hearts. The realms of the Angels are available as never before during this precious window of time.

There is a stillness of this season that pervades the northern hemispheres as the earth sleeps in the darkest time of the year. People know the sunlight will return, and it is the same with the spiritual realms. With faith, you believe that in the darkest times, the Divine Light will prevail. There are ancient traditions that honor the return of the Light following the Solstice. As you allow your soul to rest in the depth of the darkness, you can symbolically come into the clarity of the Light and receive a much-needed gift by creating a personal ritual for this time that has meaning for you. Consider the beauty of the symbols within the Twelve Nights of Christmas. You can use the time from December 24 through January 5 as an inner journey to give birth to the sunlight in your being, and illuminate the darkness within and around you. As the Archangels use this powerful time to end separation, they create an opportunity for true world peace when the empowered energy is focused on peaceful coexistence.

The Twelve Nights of Christmas act as windows to your soul’s purpose and can empower your new year. Many traditions light a colored candle for each night. The Twelve Nights can be used as an opportunity to go back through the 12 months of your year and honor your achievements and the lessons learned. Each night can feature a spiritual hierarchy and a virtue that you would like to bring into your life in the New Year. It is a special time to pay attention to your dreams because they could be prophetic during the Twelve Nights. There is also an opening for the clear light of understanding and insights from the Angels that can work through you. Some Christian traditions honor the 13th night, January 5, as Epiphany. As the twelve nights progress, you can set a goal for true clarity and wisdom to enter your mind and heart during the twelve nights. Is it not appropriate for you to receive a clear epiphany about your life as well?

It is a wondrous tradition to give freely during this Holy Season. Your generosity of spirit and willingness to give opens the energy centers within your body so that God’s Infinite Love is experienced. This Divine Love is unconditional and flows so freely, all are blessed by its presence. When hearts and minds are touched in this way, there is a healing. You will never be the same. You can keep this sense of loving gratitude and willingness to give within you throughout the year by setting the goal to do so.

By creating your personal traditions and meaningful ritual for this Holy Season, you can use the spiritual support that is available to you. With this support and your clear intentions, you can experience transformation within your being and blessings in your life. Do not let the material world overpower the beauty and depth that truly exists during this special time.

Remember the Angels are available in this Holy Season and be grateful for their presence. Once again these messengers from God are saying "Rejoice! Awaken to the birth of the Christ Light within you, and praise God for the gifts and blessings abundantly available to all."

Let this Divine Light fill you now. Allow it to enlighten your mind and heart, and illuminate every cell and fiber of your being. Your willingness and openhearted acceptance of this Divine Love blesses your body, mind and spirit. Receive this gift and allow the Light of the Christ to be born within you in this Holy Season. Let this Light shine forth from you so there may truly be Peace on Earth and Good Will between all beings.

“For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son.” Who is the God? You. You are an extension of the Creative Principle. You are the God who so loved the world that you gave your only Self, your Self, that whosoever would recognize the Christ, the joy, the love, would have life, would understand life and would live life to the fullest; would have life everlasting; forever and ever, beyond all time.

It is typical that on the one designated Christmas Eve, you set aside all your resentments and ill will for good will and peace to all men, and so here it is, Christmas Eve. It has been planned for. Lights have been put up and stockings filled. It is an Eve much looked forward to.

You can be Adam and Eve sitting down at the table. You can be husband and wife. You can be as the little children. You can create a feast of love in your home. You can gather tonight in celebration of the love and peace to come. You can usher it in. Why wait for a holiday to be declared? Declare your own holiday.

Let your heart be Santa Claus. Ride your reindeer through the land and snow and deserts as well. Go down the chimneys of hearts. Leave your gift of love. Keep on. You can make Christmas Eve last all year and still not be done.

Who of My children has all the love apparent to him that he so yearns for? Ah, but don’t wait for your heart to be filled up. Fill up other hearts from your meager store. Start filling the longing world with love from your heart, and soon your heart will be overflowing with all the love in Heaven, and you will fill the world so that now it can be said with gladness and accuracy: “All the love in the world.”

But, no matter, be generous with love now. Hearken to the love in your heart and leave it wherever you go. Leave it like a pebble you might leave on a doorstep, a reminder that love is and love has been left for whoever it may be who passes by.

I have charged you with a bounty of love, and you are to discharge it. You are to be lavish with love on this eve and any other eve. I did not say: “Love just when you feel love bursting from your heart.” I say: “Love now under all circumstances. Just love, for Heaven’s sakes, and keep on giving love. You have enough in your heart to feed the world. Don’t wait for a better day. Don’t wait until you feel more like it. Love today. Water the garden of My world with the love from your heart. Restore your heart to love. I ask you to do this now. In sun or sleet, in rain or shine, let the love from your heart shine so that all hearts will awaken and join with you in a round robin of love.”
