CHRISTMAS IS THE CHILD I AM
The Christmas season is more than the matter of a few days. Christmas is the Heart's Season and the Heart is forever. Christmas is Love's Season and Love is without end. Christmas is the season that belongs to children and there is no time when we are not children.
What is meant by the Christmas Story of "the coming of the Christ"? Christmas is Love's Season and Love is without end. Christmas is the season that belongs to children and there is no time when we are not children.
What is meant by the Christmas Story of "the coming of the Christ"? The Christ is the Truth. The Truth is the Christ. Truth comes as a "dawning". The Christ is the discovery of the Truth we are. The yearned for Messiah is none other than the here and now awareness awakened to the meaning of those words. Does not the Christ say: "I AM the truth"? We declare without doubt or hesitation that we are the Presence of the living Comforter come to "set all things straight." We take this Identity into the Self and live it. We gird up the loins and live it.
Somewhere along the line comes the truthful (Christfull) discovery that we are not a finite body containing life, awareness, within it, but that we are awareness. Life, Love, containing all bodies with "us". Reader, for me that awakening is the Christmas of the Christ-I-am- a pure and pristine Light out of a new day, immaculately conceived, untouched by the world-a holy Child born in a manger. But a child beset quickly by the intellectual Herod I fancied myself to be.
The child we are survives, however. The child of Light "grows strong" and dares, with simple honesty and actions that coincide, to challenge the fiction for the fraud it is. This is your Season, Reader. This season commemorates your Self-discovery. This Christmas is YOU. The pealing bells, the carols, the hotly leaves, at he laughter, red belts, the carols, the holly leaves, the laughter, red noses, plum pudding, tinsel and happy years arae yours. These things every one, are ours. They are us. They are identity. This holy season is the merriment that Love is and it commemorates our own Identity discovered.
THE GIFT
At this moment it seems to me that we have a most important "mission." It is to discover and live the Christ Love we are that we may be found to be the comforter of this world of images that appears within the Selfhood that Awareness is. "As I be lifed up," says the Christ, "all mankind shall be lifed likewise and drawn unto Me."
We give the gift of Childlikness to our world. We give the gift of unbounded joy. We give the gift of tenderness that warms the Heart and brings the soft breath of happiness, the tender touch and the unrestrained tear of gratitude.
We tell the story of Identity. We tell the weary who they are. We show them the Kingdom of their heritage. We hand them their scepter and point to the limitless Light of Love which is their dominion. We look up and out and "show unto mankind his uprightness."
This is the Father's business, so let us be at it.
