MERIUM: I am coming in, in your [[culture]], and acknowledging the sounds of [[Christmas]] in your environment. Not because it's my holiday, no, but because it is a holiday that you celebrate in your culture here which gives you [[opportunity]] to be of good cheer and, even, in good cheer in the [[context]] of the [[birth of the Christ]] child, thereby bringing all [[manner]] of opportunities to you to teach and preach during this auspicious holiday occasion. Every opportunity is fodder for the teacher mill, and so it is opportunity again for us to extrapolate on how it is that you might be effective in your arenas as you maintain your [[consciousness]] of [[our Father]] and [[His bestowal]] here. The munchkins are always an opportunity to parallel children of God. Always, if you are, in your [[heart]], a child, can you equate yourself to the little ones.

You can discuss the [[anticipation]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Nicolas St. Nick] in terms of your own anticipation of when it is that He will return and how easily then that lends itself to an [[opportunity]] to [[testify]] that He is in fact here today and living among you. In the [[spirit]]. I am going to bow out and allow Tomas to carry on and yet before I go I am going to play the divine Miss M here and pretend I am your hostess so that I might [[embrace]] our Angus who has bestowed himself upon this gathering today . Welcome, dear one.

ANGUS: Thank you.

ANGUS: Thank you.

TOMAS: Good afternoon. This is Tomas, your teacher. It is good to be here and I am glad, as always, for your [[loyalty]] and for the [[assistance]] of Merium who always manages to brighten my corner of [[the universe]], much as you brighten the corner of the universe in which you find yourself. In [[fact]], in light of today's lesson and in light of the season, I will speak to you today about your [[light]] and bring it to your attention in the [[analogy]] of a string of Christmas lights. You here at the table, indeed, all of us here in this room, are on a [[circuit]], a string of lights in [[honor]] of the light of [[truth]]. Each of us [[reflects]] a different colored light. We [[manifest]] the light that comes through [[the circuits]]. Each light that is lit creates greater [[illumination]], so that your individual light becomes part of the twinkling of the environs. When you are asked to put your light upon a hill where it can be seen, you are being asked to tap into the [[energy]] of the greater light. These words are, of course, rudimentary but it is, even so, an [[opportunity]] for me to paint a [[picture]] so that you can look at all these Christmas lights with a new [[perspective]], a perhaps greater perspective, on what is being attempted.

You [[read]] today about the different levels of [[energy]], the various [[powers]] of energy. You have reasoned among yourselves that can die out and there are energies which are [[eternal]]. The light that you are developing inside your [[self]] by and through your [[association]] with your [[Indwelling Adjuster]] is a light t hat will never die. The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilot_light pilot light] is [[illuminated]] in your lives as you grasp greater phase truths. Are you aware of the light you give off? Are you aware of the color of [[Christmas]] that you represent this season? Each of you together, in [[union]], as you connect with each other in this greater reality, can [[manifest]] then a light which supercedes the glitter of the [[perception]] of the lesser way.

Remain true to your true [[Source]] of [[energy]], your power source on high. That way when all the tertiary lights flicker and fail, you will be able to rejoice in the [[foundation]] you have set by being at one with your pilot light which remain s ever lit and ever [[focused]]. And thus, in keeping with your [[culture]], I have delivered what might be cal led your Christmas [[sermon]]. I will, in light of your festive [[mood]], and indeed in deference in part to our most honored guest, offer opportunity to enjoy your repartee and seek questions and/or [[commentary]]. The floor is open.

TOMAS: What I would like for you to do, Rachel, is to put those words on the wall in a frame, those words you just spoke, so that the next time you have a [[difficult]] passage to go through, you can remind yourself that you've done it before, you can do it again. And these are your very own [[words]]. These are your [[testimonies]] to [[truth]]. It is not something I have told you; it is not something that has even come from The [[Urantia Book]] or other prophetic tome . It has come from your own [[experiential]] reality. You can do this.
