This article is from The Sedona Journal of Emergence Joy To The World...And To You All! There is an energy of peace and good will that moves through your world in this month of December, and within that inspirational flow, we greet you. We do not aim this greeting only at those of you who celebrate Christmas… but to all of you… no matter what your religious or spiritual process might be. Do you know what we see when we look upon you? We see spiritual beings surrounded by Gold Light and flowing gracefully with the Light of Divine Love. It is who you are and it is what you have forgotten. Although, many of you are beginning to remember… And for this we celebrate, too! So as you contemplate this season of giving and receiving, what are the gifts you plan to give? We have some suggestions, some basic and practical and some a bit more energetic, if you would like some help from another dimension?! Fun… We suggest that every present you buy, make or simply feel be outrageously fun! If you remember the criteria of ‘Past-Present-Future’ you will be able to accomplish this easily. For example, we define the past as the day you choose, purchase and prepare the present you are intending to give. Have fun picking out the perfect gift for each person. If this means it is important to ask them what they want, then ask them. And once you have asked them, believe them… don’t decide you know better. If that were true, then why did you ask in the first place? The energy with which you choose and purchase the gift will adhere to the gift. Choosing gifts that you can pay for without guilt or difficulty is an important part of our suggestion. As you wrap your gift, send thoughts and feelings of love, fun and joy to the recipient… these energies will adhere to the gift as well. In the present, let the time of gift exchange be delightful… This is easy as you gather with your beloved family around a beautifully decorated tree. But what if the exchange takes place in your place of business or sitting home alone because your family lives far away? What if there is no tree because there has been no job this year? What if you are opening packages mailed lovingly to you in a war zone, a retirement home, a hospital? What if your gift is the most ‘humble’ in a very large pile? We still say, let the time of opening that gift be delightful! For that moment, be grateful for the one who loved you enough to give the gift… contemplate the joyful memories you share with that being… be enchanted with the true energy of the holidays – the coming together of millions of hearts with the mutual intent of peace and gratitude…of Unconditional Love. And as you gather the gifts you choose to give, create a future of fun. First by letting the gift be what the other person truly wants… not what you want. In this way they will continue to feel loved and supported after the event. They will always know that there is someone who cares enough to listen to their needs and desires. And second, for those of you who postpone the payment for these items by using credit cards, let the fun include purchasing what you can afford so well that when the bill comes it is fun to pay! It is not a gift to go into debt every year for one day of extravagant giving. If you live all the other days of the year fearful or guilt-ridden over the debt load you carry because of the objects you bought as gifts… the fear and guilt is the true energy you are sharing with the people you love the most. Hmmm… And when it comes to receiving, remember the love and effort – past, present, and future – which has gone into your benefactor’s gift. Don’t discount their generosity with words which deflect (i.e. Oh, you shouldn’t have… ). Thank them appropriately and sincerely for your gratitude is also a gift which nourishes them sumptuously! Releasing the Past is another wonderful gift to give at this sacred time of year. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to simply forgive everyone who ever ‘done you dirt’ in your past and let the present, finally… once and for all… be your focus? Forgive the incidents which seemed so horrible or difficult. Truly, you would not be who you are today without every single experience which has ever befallen you. Your light shines brightly from your resonant signature… your aura… and that light is totally unique to you. We have spoken before of the importance of placing the experiences of the past which are yours into your foundation (your Akashic Record) and releasing those which are not yours. What a wonderful gift to give yourself now! Will this take the memory away? No, of course not. But it will diminish the emotional hold it has upon you and your life. Allow the past to be a memory. And allow that memory to be. We are truly grateful for who you are and all you have been through to become this. We wish for you that you may find joy in this as well. Peace must begin within each being upon your planet. As each of you claims peace, you will be peace, teach peace, ooze peace, create peace, experience peace, give peace. Peace is an action word in your world… you have forgotten what true peace can be. And in that forgetting many of you have come to believe peace is boring. Peace does not mean that you live in a constant state of meditation… walking gently and chanting ‘Om’ with every step. Peace means you live in a state of happiness balanced by joy. It means you live with respect for your fellow man and woman, the animals who share your planet and the very planet itself. It means you dream wonderful futures, live purposeful present days and understand the importance of the past which has become your reference library. Peace exists when the agendas are dropped and all may live and worship according to their individual beliefs. Peace happens when every individual is free to define peace personally while allowing all others to do so, too. Peace exists when Unconditional Love is the first and only criteria for experience. Unconditional Love There is no greater gift than this. By definition ‘Unconditional Love’ is love which has no agendas. None. Many of you teach that this is what the Christmas Holiday is all about, and indeed it is. But we wish you to understand that this is what creation is all about. This is what life on Earth is all about. This is what all life everywhere is all about. There is nothing else! “If that is so, then why is life so difficult?” Because you are so loved that you have been given the freedom to create your own reality and somewhere along the way you have forgotten that. “So why don’t you help us remember?” You are being reminded in so many ways every day, but you do not listen or allow the information in. The next time you feel good… realize that you are being shown the way to Unconditional Love. The next time you see something which makes you smile… realize you are being shown the way to Unconditional Love. The next time you smell rain on the breeze or snow in the air… realize you are being shown the way to Unconditional Love. The next time you hear the laughter of the children next door or taste the food you have chosen for a meal… realize you are being shown the way to Unconditional Love. It is everywhere. It is everyone. Open your hearts and let it in and out! If you do, we are certain beyond any shadow of doubt that this Christmas season will be the finest ever experienced upon your planet Earth.
