I am ever aware that many who read my posts are either non-traditional in their spiritual approach or are of a different tradition than the one I was brought up in.  I was raised by fanatical Pentecostal Christians and it took me years to be able to stop running the opposite direction!  I eventually was able to fully embrace the elements of my truth which are present in the Christian religion, acknowledging those truths exist in other belief systems as well.  I had some very cool spiritual experiences which helped me do that, which I tell in Riding the Wave – Hope Healing and Spiritual Growth for Our World – so I will resist telling them here!  You have been very patiently waiting for the publishing of that on Balboa Press, and I am pleased that the time to go to print seems just around the corner now.

Respecting your various beliefs I would like to talk about spiritual elements of the Christmas season, while leaving out divisive elements.  I know what is really true crosses the boundaries of our various beliefs, and touches our eternal selves, helping us to birth what is sacred and true within all life.

Growing up, I was always able to see the energy of people and the world as qualities of light.  I became aware of the light which shines from people when they were truly connecting to and expressing the Christ light.  At the time I was unaware of other spiritual beliefs, but I knew that often what was coming from people who were expressing the dark side of religion, was dark, dense and sticky.  But the true light to me was softly golden and warm, flowing, radiant and beautiful.  More importantly it felt unimposing, but power filled and unconditionally loving.  The same person could express the light and dark sides of the spiritual energies, depending on where they were at and what they were responding to at that time.  I learned to be cautious and alert to these differences, and eventually to duck when the dark stuff started to fly!

I have since learned of what I call the Cosmic Christ – the first focus of individuality born from the One.  This first individual exists within each of us and is the essence of unconditional love, wisdom and freedom — in a state of unity with the One, but unique and individual.  In the Qabalah this Being is called Chokmah the Father, and it is the seed that is planted within each created soul, stimulating our evolution and which awakens and enlightens us as we ascend.

Christmas celebrates the birth of one who embodied that enlightenment, and who believed that within all of us that truth could and would be born one day.  This is the essence of ascension – the awakening of the seed of unity and unconditional love, which I call the Cosmic Christ, which lies at the core of each created Being.  As we transition through this season of celebration, I sense an increase of that beautiful golden light present in the planet, and within people as well.  People may use that light, unknowingly, for lower purposes, and dissipate it running around trying to accomplish too much.  But, the beautiful light is still there, in our hearts, souls, and auras and in the planet herself.  When the sun is farthest from us, that light within us becomes more obvious and clear.  It warms our winter lives.

Take some time between errands and celebrations to welcome that sacred light which is an eternal part of you.  It desires to be born through you each day, and is most easily accessed at this season.  It is your own true self, asking to be recognized, held sacred and expressed inwardly toward yourself, and outwardly toward those you love and our world.  It is the most precious and true energy that exists in our lives and it is yours; not just at this season, but any time you are open to receiving, integrating and expressing it in your life.

I love you and ask the essence of truth of the Cosmic Christ to lighten your lives and our world this week and always!  Blessings, Eve
