A Christmas Message

JANU:   We are surveying this Christmas season of the Earth and enjoying the goodwill it brings, even across religions, cultures. It brings a glow to the Earth, which is a reminder to humanity of what can endure throughout the year: a moment’s kindness, patience, tolerance, giving, graciously receiving, supporting an appreciation for life and future possibilities. Granted, this is co-existing with the more materialistic motivations, but a wondrous glow, nonetheless.

There have been so many traditions expressed throughout human history. Be mindful that there are many other traditions not identified with Christmas, with the same result. And they all contribute to humanity’s freedom. Why not, then, bless everyone you can, child, adult, creature of the Earth? Be part of the collective joy, focusing it, strengthening it, purifying it, at every opportunity.

When a child delights in a gift, delight at the child’s happiness, which is the true gift. And, as some do, provide the child with an opportunity to give that blessing to someone else. Children universally find joy in giving to others. It is their nature. Allow them to express it. It will stay with them through their lives, reminding them of who they truly are.

Happiness, our brother, brings people together, wanting to share their joy. May this become a constant in the affairs of humanity. We benefit from your joy as well and are delighted that it is there. Season’s greetings and namaste.

Tolerance (Service)

 

JANU: For this service, let us focus upon tolerance, an important ingredient in humanity’s future on the path to peace, understanding, and mutual support in the spirit of oneness. The art of tolerance is magical indeed, for so many of the systems of the individual’s composition line up with each other in a balanced way and perform wondrous things in themselves and in your neighbor. Very few humans can say they have experienced such to any memorable degree, or enough to inspire them to do the same.

Now, tolerance does not agree with mayhem and destructive behavior. But it does mean making every effort to understand and support another’s journey to find their own truth and fulfill their opportunities. Many have yet to realize how tolerant life has been for them to exist at all and continue on their path, no matter the behavior. So, it is a worthy endeavor to review your life and find tolerance that has been given to you and appreciate the opportunity it provides to move on in your life and to grow. The great one who visited with us this morning lived her life in that manner and gained much wisdom and insight into the nature of people’s lives, including her own. Of course, we are speaking of Maya Angelou.

So tolerance is the theme this evening, our brother, and this includes tolerance for your own life. And, of course, tolerance opens the door to forgiveness. Namaste.
