Topic: What Does Christmas Mean?

 

Daniel(Bill): May the joy of Christmas fill all our hearts to overflowing. May the love that came down and incarnated carry us beyond ourselves and out to the rest of the world with the good news. May tonight's gathering produce festive hearts, enlightened minds, and dedicated souls. I am Daniel. These are my thoughts. Let us pray.

May we tonight in our comradery be a part of the process of filling each other's hearts to overflowing. May we let down the barriers that would dim our understanding of each other as brother and sister and sit at the feet of Michael, once again, through His appointed teachers. May the love which is resident in our hearts take flight with wings of joy and touch everyone else, today, and always. Amen.

Aaron(Bill): Hello, my friends. I am Aaron. To celebrate this Christmas season I desire that you share your selves in a round robin format, once again. We haven't done this for a while and I just would like to hear from you all as to what this season of Advent/Christmas means to you at this point in your life. Try not to be stereotypical in your answer. Be honest. If you have negative feelings for good reasons, please let them be manifest. If you simply cannot put into words your feelings, of course, we don't use negative reinforcement. You will not be punished or shamed by any of us. This is a free will exercise.

Before we begin I, once again tell you, this is a part of the morontial educational process in which communication has to be more than the uttering of words or the gossip of the time, or formulas that hide their meaning behind the words. I would have you do one other thing. In order to still your minds and your hearts, please relax in your chairs, take a deep breath and exhale. Turn your hearts toward your beloved Mystery Monitors, your Thought Adjusters, and allow His/Her love to flow through your words. Are there any questions you need to ask? Very well, let us begin with Carol and go around the circle clockwise. Isaac will be last. Go ahead.

But what does it mean to me now? Right now it means what we are doing tonight, having friendships and experiences with people on a level I never knew when I was younger. When I was in the ministry I had a vague idea that that was what I wanted to do, to have this kind of family experience, and to some extent that happened. But it was nothing like what it is now. Like Virginia, I like the scenery of this house. I love the snow outside and the opportunities for sledding on the driveway and skiing, if we get a little more snow; and having people over and having their kids come and share in all of that. I also have a Scrooge part of me that grouches about the materialistic thing. I guess that's it.

Aaron: Thank you, Isaac, for sharing your progression from materialistic joy to brotherly/sisterly joy. I would say to you all, remember on the mansion worlds you still have material environments. You still have domiciles, homes, places that are yours, that the "material" side of life is not to be despised. It is not a question of spiritual verses material. It is a question of value and seeking first the reign of God in your heart. Then the material things will find their rightful place and your needs will be provided. I have decided to retract my question. I will comment on what I was thinking.

Klarixiska would like to close our meeting, if Virginia will transmit, otherwise, Isaac will.

Klarixiska(Virginia): God of peace, God of love, God of justice, God of mercy, God of holiness that knows not the turmoil of sin and evil except as He sees His children: We would pray that this God would put these attributes within the motivation of all who call Him "Father". We would pray that the words of peace on earth would become a reality. We would pray that each would be able to take the hand of the one next to him/her in honest belief that they together make up the family of God. Hear our prayer, Oh God, and help us to make Your love a reality on this planet. So be it. Amen.
