Life In December

By: Jay

The end of the year is upon us.

For many it consists of sending holiday cards and gifts, weaving through crowded parking lots hoping and praying that a parking space opens up near the store or mall entrance.  Some are getting all the food and ingredients for holiday festivities and family gatherings.  Some of us are traveling to see family and/or friends for the holiday(s).  Some are staying home and having a quiet celebration.  We are all busy one way or another.

Over the past year we have all had challenges in some area of our life, i.e. health, financial, work, etc.

As we move through this “uniqueness” and range of emotions we focus on moving forward and setting goals for the rest of the year and the New Year.  It is important for us not to get so caught up in the problem that we are unable to see the forest for the trees.  The more we focus on the not so wonderful situations the more prevalent and intense they become.

Thus, the reason for this article.  No matter what comes down the pike it is how we decide to handle said situation.  We can either react or act.  The choice we make is important.  By reacting we are allowing the situation to control us; by acting we are taking control of the situation.  This is not to say we aren’t experiencing a slight panic or full range of emotions, it means we are deciding not to allow our emotional state to dictate the goings on.

So, on your Holiday To Do List take a bit of time for yourself and think of the goals you want to set, breathe, relax a bit, get focused and move forward with a song on your lips and in your heart.

Celebrate the beauty of life that is within you and let that glorious light of yours shine to the world and behold the miracle of you.

Let your light so shine…

Pax Domini,

Jay

Today’s Positive Thought

Each of us have been born with creative talents and abilities to use to better ourselves and the world in which we live. 

As we express ourselves we express the beauty, joy, love and greatness of life not only within ourselves but in the world.  Your purpose in life is to be you; to share and make good use of your talents and abilities, to be all that you are.  So, today, shine your light and brighten up the world with your talents and your abilities.  It is a glorious day to be you.

A Different Christmas Story

A Different Christmas Story was sent to me by a minister friend who is into mysticism and spirituality sans religion.  I asked him for permission to print some of what he wrote and he said yes.  I hope you find this not only interesting but informative.  

To all, Let Your Light Shine!

From the vastness and darkness of The Great No-Thing which gave rise and birth to The All, from which all flows, visible and invisible, there is a Light that shines brightly within us called The Christ (Christos), a title meaning the anointed one.  Each of us has this Light within us and to the point we recognize our spiritual power and ability to overcome the challenges in the desert of life, we find, have revealed to us, our true inner nature and life becoming a light in this world.  The birth of the Christ (Christos) within begins with a pinpoint of light of understanding appearing in our mind.  As we recognize it and follow this light of spiritual revelation, star in the east, we become en-lightened, as our inner wisdom and unconditional love marry, become as one, thus is the seed of spiritual understanding and awareness planted and as we nurture it and become enveloped in it’s love and light we transform over time, becoming more aware of our spirituality and inner power to overcome “what seems to be” with “the power that is.”  In the ancient teachings of spiritual evolvement symbols and stories where metaphors and enhanced when a person of greatness came to be.  You are a person of greatness and it is now time to write your new story with the awareness of your inner power and life to overcome seeming appearances of this life.  Be transformed by the renewing of your mind, for you are and always have been the beloved. 

As the great mystic Meister Eckhart stated,

“We are celebrating the feast of the Eternal Birth which God the Father has borne and never ceases to bear in all eternity… But if it takes not place in me, what avails it? Everything lies in this, that it should take place in me.”
Meister Eckhart

“There exists only the present instant… a Now which always and without end is itself new. There is no yesterday nor any tomorrow, but only Now, as it was a thousand years ago and as it will be a thousand years hence.”
Meister Eckhart

Worthy One

   Worthy One is a quote by William James.

“When a man’s pursuit gradually makes his face shine and grow handsome, be sure it is a worthy one.”

Monday

Monday, a day to keep a song in your heart, mindful of your purpose to be all you are and to shine.

Have a great day and week,
