Its that time of year again, and most likely we are all preoccupied with our preparations for Christmas. As we run around this advent season, busying ourselves with the social and commercial activities of Christmas, it will do us good to find time to pause, take a centering breath, and come into the sacred space of the spiritual awareness and appreciation of the true advent spirit of Christmas: a time of birthing and coming into a deeper realization of our potential for Love, Peace and Joy.
This is the spiritual essence of the advent story and the gift of Christmas, the true treasure of awakening to and birthing our divine capacity for experiencing and expressing authentic Love, perfect Peace and abundant Joy, to a depth and degree that transcends intellectual understanding. In this we find the true and authentic essence of our being. This is the sacred and eternal gift of the divine, given fully and freely to all, to be received with open and wholehearted gratitude, for the onward gifting, fully and freely, to any and all others. In this we are all stewards of the priceless gifts of Love, Peace and Joy, and help fulfill their purpose and presence in the world.

This unfolding of good energetically vibrates within and throughout every dimension of our being and aspect of our lives. It connects and attracts to us all that serves our best and highest good. This same experience in others, finds its attraction in us, so like comes to like, and in divine integrity of the connection we come fully into the authentic union and unity of Love. We know this when it happens. It has an undeniable truth that resonates the core of our being. It confirms its truth, beyond intellectual understanding, and ....
