<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; background: white; color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">The story is told that he was conceived through Divine inception and was born to a husband and wife who had pledged to be the parents to this “miracle” sent from God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> Said to have been born in lowly circumstances because there were no rooms left in the Inn, he was welcomed into his earth life in a stable.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> His arrival, however, had been heralded by amazing astrological signs that many said, were to signal a great Being’s birth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> Wise men had traveled from afar – from Egypt to Bethlehem – to bring gifts to this wonderful Child.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> They had come a great distance, following the brilliant Light of a Star that seemed to light up the whole Earth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; background: white; color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; background: white; color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Like us, we reach for the Light that seems to shine down upon us from time to time and marvel that Life contains vivid moments where we fell uplifted and blessed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> When we come back “down to Earth,” we feel humble in the face of the marvels we take so for granted: our human body at work, life pulsing through our veins, the life cycle that occurs year round when all of nature moves to a rhythm that is beyond our understanding, and the moments that take our breath away from small unexpected surprises of beauty and grace.</span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; background: white; color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; background: white; color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">On that evening, too, the shepherds watching their flocks <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>on the hillside not only could see the brilliance of the Light of that Star but swore they were in the company of a host of Angels singing their Joy at the long-awaited coming of this special Child.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> Angelic voices resounded in the night and all who were there could feel Their presence among them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> They, too, knew something miraculous was occurring and wanted to move closer to the place where the Light shown most brightly.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; background: white; color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; background: white; color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Like us, we seem to hear the Inner Voice that guides us forward when we are afraid, assuring us that we will survive and, in fact, that we will thrive if we reach for the Unknown in trust and faith that “all is well.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> As we experience a breakthrough instead of the <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>breakdown that we so feared, we seem to hear the “angels sing” celebrating our perseverance and our triumphs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> Then in those surprising moments we know we are not alone in the world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> We are touched by “The Spirit” – we sense the spiritual dimension that is closer than hands and feet, nearer than breathing.</span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; background: white; color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; background: white; color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">His family was a normal human family, his father a carpenter and his mother was devoted to raising their several children, with Jesus being one among them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> They lived a simple life, once they had escaped the obsession of King Herod to make sure no one would replace him as “ruler.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> He, as later men after him, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">mis</i></b>understood why this One of Jesus had come.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> They, because of their own conditioning. thought he would want to be King.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; background: white; color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Reading more widely in ancient manuscripts we find that there are other aspects of Jesus’ life that we hardly hear about in our mainstream churches.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> Did you know that there are records that Jesus went on a long pilgrimage of many years between childhood and his return to Nazareth in his late 20s?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> There are records in monasteries in Tibet that tell of one Spiritual Teacher who came and both taught and learned from the Spiritual Masters of other faiths there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> These Masters were as impressed with the first-hand knowledge of the Divine that Jesus had as did the Jewish priests when he visited them in the Temple when he was twelve.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; background: white; color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; background: white; color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">These records, as well as records found among all the world religions with which we are acquainted, speak of spiritual knowledge passed down through thousands of years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> These are the Mysteries that men and women have discovered as they sought for Knowledge and Experience of the Divine and the origin and sustenance of both the Universe and the Earth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> Every <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>several thousand year cycle, it seems that MORE knowledge is discovered and MORE becomes known and passed on to the next generation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; background: white; color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; background: white; color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Let us return to the events of the One whom was said to be destined to be the “King of Kings.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> His life was an EXAMPLE of what it means to be a Son of God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> He also said that since we each have Souls – a spark of the Divine – that we, TOO, are meant to be LIKE HIM.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> He spoke of God as his “father” and said that since we were all “God’s children” that we, too, could approach the Father and that if our intent was to know God directly that we, too, could become “One” with the Father.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> Did he not say: “I and the Father are One”? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He said his life, intentioned and given by God to humanity, was meant to show us who we “really are.” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His Coming was not about fulfilling a prophecy that was aimed at one group of people, but to ALL PEOPLE.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> And it certainly was not meant to create a Kingdom on Earth where some men would rule over others.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> In fact, God’s Message as conveyed by Jesus was that LOVE was the underlying Principle in the Universe!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; background: white; color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; background: white; color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">The Kingdom that Jesus spoke about – the Kingdom of Souls – is a spiritual Kingdom that is meant to be lived HERE on the earth plane.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> It is not a faraway place where one goes when one dies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> God is not a faraway vague spirit or a “white man” on a “throne.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The whole Universe is made of that Divine Essential Presence that IS GOD – and is LOVE - and IS <u>in US</u>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></i></b></span></p>

<p>I’ve been struggling for the last several weeks to respond to what we see going on in this country since the recent election. Everywhere you turn, you see people at odds with each other expressing anger. Rep.

<p>I’ve been struggling for the last several weeks to respond to what we see going on in this country since the recent election. Everywhere you turn, you see people at odds with each other expressing anger. Rep. Bart Stupak was reported to have said: <i>“Every boundary of decency has been crossed!”</i> People are divided and fearful. Community panels discuss the lack of civility in our democratic process. People are striking out in anger, marking turf and declaring “this group” or “that group” the ENEMY. A friend of mine has written that he is consumed with anger when he reads about the growing divisiveness in the country because he feels “set up” by the media. Others are fighting among themselves about whether or not President Obama is “political enough” when coming to reaching compromises that don’t meet the “political savvy” of some of his own party. They seem to forget that when he was a candidate, Obama stressed the need to work together, to change the way business is done in Washington. Where is our empathy for him as he faces the extraordinary challenges of being President at this time in history?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We in America pride ourselves on being independent, being successful, and winning. We have lifted up the virtues of self-made individualism OVER one of the foundation stones of this Country that welcomes others from all walks of life, all religions, and from other countries who desire to have freedom to live and be free. <i>“They can come but don’t take up any space and detract from the freedom and prosperity that is MINE.”</i> This flies in the face of the promise of the inalienable rights “of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” for all citizens. </p>
<p>We are supposed to be a union; we are supposed to welcome “the hungry, the tired, the poor, the individuals yearning to be free” and welcome them into our communities.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We have turned our country into an <b>US</b> <b>vs. THEM</b> place to live. We value winning and we denounce the losers. The attitude is Winner Take All and rarely is the price paid for winning counted. Can we survive this intensified state of the national emotional climate? Will our selfishness backfire on us? Will our greed collapse what was a thriving middle class? Will we begin to pull into our communities / political parties / “labels” and see all others as enemies? How hardened has become our hearts when we say: <i>“Let them pull themselves up by their bootstraps. It is their fault they are poor – it is their fault that they aren’t educated – it is their fault that they are weak and unmotivated. NOT MY PROBLEM!”</i></p>
<p><i> </i></p>
<p>Some forty years ago, a young psychologist examined the two operative styles typically expected of men and women. She knew that both sexes needed to be able to live in more healthy ways, other than one being the aggressor and the other being a passive recipient of that domination. A new word was coined – assertiveness - that called for a new stronger style where both parties could be equal. It involved both parties believing in their right to be (to speak, to behave) and a responsibility to be clear when communicating. Equally important was the fact that both parties had to respect the other’s right to speak and to be. This, when practiced, would result in both persons WINNING. The aggressor plays the win-lose game, the passive person plays the lose-win game, and the respectful/responsible – assertive - person works to create win-win situations. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>If we think only of ourselves and have no respect for the rights and plight of others, we may win, yet we rarely have the true trust of others. We may “play along” but neither trust nor be loyal to the other because they only work for themselves. Playing the win-lose game separates us from others in every way possible. The person who is aggressive and thinks only of himself often ends up dissatisfied with his/her possessions and titles of power. For those who have hardened their hearts against others, there can be a bleakness of spirit in their lives and often simply a greater hunger for more, more, more. Material things can never be ultimately satisfying without love.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>What will it take for us to pull together again? Abraham Lincoln, in his first Inaugural Address in 1861 talked of the agonizingly difficult situation the nation was in with so many divided among themselves. Pulling the union apart through secession was not an option, he said. In closing, he said he knew how hard it was to have so many at odds with each other and hoped that in the long run, the “angels of our better natures” would help the country pull together. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>We seem to be creating an untenable situation in America, where people are divided against each other. Truth is being distorted and it is hard to find out “real facts.” Manipulating public opinion through advertising and campaign attack ads feed our fears. I strongly suspect that this roiling anger comes from the fear and worry that is inside all of us when it seems like “our way of life” is falling apart. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>We need to bring more “heart” into our conversations – more empathy, more compassion, more patience, less judgment. “Being our brothers’ keeper” is one of the simple maxims given to the world by Jesus, who became the Christ. He assured us that God was indeed the Father of us all. As we find LOVE swelling up in us during this sacred holiday season, let’s expand our awareness of blessing and sharing and think of all of our fellow citizens. Not judging, embracing them in our minds eye, and recognizing that “We are all in this together…”</p>
