The true meaning of Christmas is the celebration of the birth of a love that unites and binds the universe but also exists deepest within each one of us.

 

To me, now more than ever, the true meaning of Christmas is the celebration of a never ending love. Not the love we think of in desiring or possessing someone else but rather ~ the whole sublime aspect of conscious unconditional love which seeks only the perfection of its object and is, at the deepest level, the underlying and uniting   force   of the Universe   ~ the Unified Field   .

 

The birth of Jesus is, in reality, the awareness of that love in human form ~ but all of us are capable of loving that deeply if we will but surrender to what is deepest within ourselves.

Interestingly enough, the New Revised Standard Version of the Bible accurately translates the word " young woman " rather than " virgin " in Mathew's First testament prophecy about Jesus ~ " Look, the young woman is with child and shall bear a son, and shall name him Immanuel . "

 

Thus, every child born should be seen as an emissary of love on a visit to a planet that is in the process of uniting to that same Unified Field   of love, joy and soul consciousness.

Jesus then becomes an evolutionary forerunner for a love and state of soul consciousness that is deepest within us all ~ and a love which we all unconsciously seek in our individual quests to find and celebrate our authentic selves.

 

The best analogy for this love is the SUN which shines on everyone, from the lowest to greatest, and without which we and the planet could not survive.

 

However, perhaps this 3 minute rendition of Lennon's Happy Christmas is more appropriate for a world that would rather kill than love and ends with an appropriate Mahatma Ghandi quote An eye for an eye will eventually make us all blind ~

 

Now connect this universal love and urge to unite with the Winter Solstice and we can see how the Sun emerging from its yearly descent is comparable to an unconditional love that never ends . If you believe in love that will be more than enough this Christmas.

 

Christmas is the time to honor those who have unconditionally loved us for that love still lives in our hearts.

For example, I have a permanent memory as a young child of my Grandfather playing Santa Claus one Christmas and watching with delighted joy as he slowly made his way up the snowy walkway to the front door. I could feel love leap from my heart to my grandfather and that love joined me to an unfathomable love deepest within myself.

 

My whole life has been a quest to feel that deeply again and share that place of delight and joy with my partner, my  family, my friends, my clients and the world ~ for the true gift my grandfather gave me was the authentic, delightful and unconditional gift of himself . 

 

I can feel and see now how my beloved granddaughters Sofia and Ellen  are loving me from the same deep place I loved my grandfather ~ and they are using that love, as I have, to grow and draw on as they   slowly fully experience themselves and life.

As such, Christmas is the celebration of a profound love that exists not only beyond time and space but also beneath our deepest fears, aloneness and despair.   

 

When you embrace this love ~ you will never feel alone.
