A celebration of higher things. A time to reflect and give.
You, lighting another’s way, is a magnificence born of such things as a Christmas morn.
We write you these words so that you can understand the higher meaning and intentions behind what you call your higher celebrations. We know you feel greatly the importance of these days, and you are right! They are important! But they are for you individually, too. A time to reflect. A time to give. These are not foreign notions to you. They are inbuilt and you have long studied and understood what we mean through your long history, or even if you are coming to this learning more recently.
Treasure you truly want
Know that you can discover new horizons and riches of treasure beyond your understanding yet attained. By that we mean you can gawp and ponder at the magnificence of something that has come your way, without realizing its true meaning: shall you wear your tiara or rubies or shall you admire them or shall you sell them to the highest bidder? What does one do with this cache or treasure?
So, what if we were to tell you to cash these things in for the things you truly do most want to have, experience, and be. For you see, that is what your heart urges you toward almost with every breath you take. You are always wanting something and always trying to move toward it.
Interruptions may appear to come or things slow you down or seem to impede, but that is just you getting in the way! For you have abilities and powers that far exceed those things and would lay them to waste in a moment if you let them. In other words, you can draw on a power so supreme that you become part of that and can wield it in any direction you want, and hopefully for good.
Christmas spirit
Now let us return to the Christmas spirit as you like to think of it. Now, here we have many millions of you, either in your society, or that of others, that sense the vastness and importance of this time. For even if you have assigned this day artificially, still you need a focal point for your parties and celebrations so that the year and your life, and all that you work for have one or more focus points along the way. That’s really what your celebrations are for, my children. To celebrate you! To celebrate life and all that it brings in gifts!
We never exclude anyone from this, no matter how are you are abled and what you deem your capacities to be, for we know what you can accomplish if you want to. There is no barrier as you tend to think of them. That is only your imagination, or better stated, your worries which you project or practically give life to. Now, what good will that do you? For you are here to give, yes, but also to receive. You cannot accomplish the former without the latter, as a way to see it.
For where you open your arms to All-that-is and say, “Come to me and fill me with unparalleled and unsurpassing gifts,” so are you then able to give the same to others, but funneled through you, your intelligence, your wit, your smile, and your encouragement. When you take another’s hand in this way, you light fields ahead with radiant light as if from a thousand lanterns, so strong it is.
When you take another’s hand in this way, you light fields ahead with radiant light as if from a thousand lanterns.
Lighting the way
You, lighting another’s way, is a magnificence born of such things as a Christmas morn, and all those who gather within this premise of understanding of what grace and blessing is. It or they know no bounds, no exceptions, and no barriers as you think about them. They are always the exception and thus the rule in that sense that you shall never be alone, always helped, and always offered light from our lantern, and those of a million others who have come to understand our teaching … our ‘light array’ for you where you approach our lantern, pick it up, and shine a light unto others as well as light your own way.
Now, that can’t be too hard to do, can it? If it is possible for one, or has been possible for any before you, then why not you? That is not a rhetorical question, but the truth. The absolute, if you prefer that word, truth.
Eternal values and higher things
What absolutes there are in this world, then let it be known that they are such concepts as goodness, fairness, justice, kindness, wisdom, and generosity among them, and the never-endingness of your life and experience. Eternal values are just that, always there, and always with you, and always working in your favor, in that sense. Here is a system you cannot buck. No, you must string along and then make the best of it, as you do as a child in your family until you grow in wider understanding of the magnificence of the family unit, be it in your birth family, or community, or among your friends who connect with and care about you.
So that is family, and it is indeed a high holy thing, as a way to say it, as are your festivals and celebrations that raise you up to higher thinking, and higher values, and higher gifts to others that can only source through you, and your connection to higher things. Call them God; call them All-that-is; or call them the great and wide universe … that you can cling and hold onto, and embrace what you most agree with and suits you, so that you are always lifted higher and higher with never ending joy. Amen. And that you may experience the fruits of all that you are, and bring, and do. Amen.
Joy be with you on this season of giving. Let those gifts be of you wherever you can, and spread this as far and wide as jam on the bread of life. That is you, jam on the bread of life. So shall you eat of it and then benefit others so you become it, as those before you have spoken: “I am the bread of life …” Amen.
—Joyful blessings from your teachers
