The Spirit of Christmas

Mary:
This morning as we read A Course in Miracles, this sentence stood out to me: “The world I see holds my fearful self-image in place, and guarantees its continuance. While I see the world as I see it now, truth cannot enter my awareness. I would let the door behind this world be opened for me, that I may look past it to the world that reflects the Love of God.” (ACIM W-pI.56.3:1-4)

This is Christmas day, and what this paragraph is leading me to embodies the spirit of Christmas. The Holy Spirit is right there in my mind waiting to lift the veil that I might see the world that reflects the Love of God. Today it is my job to receive Holy Spirit’s wonderful gift of Christ’s Vision. As I receive this gift, I cannot help but extend it to others because the Love of God is all inclusive.

This is the true meaning of Christmas. So I am very grateful to receive this message and extend it by practicing it through the day. The more I am willing to practice letting the veil be lifted, the more I help myself and everyone awaken from the dream.

In the Christmas story of the birth of Christ, angels are singing, “Peace on earth, good will toward all men.” As I let the veil be lifted by receiving Holy Spirit’s gift, this is the world I will experience.

Have a blessed Christmas. Let’s together practice receiving the Holy Spirit’s gift of Christ’s Vision. What a wonderful, joyous way to celebrate Christmas.

Robert:
A Course in Miracles tells us that everything we see through the body’s eyes is a projection of our thoughts. If I see fear, anger, pain and suffering, it is simply reflecting my thoughts of separation. But I am always free to choose to align my thoughts with the Holy Spirit. Then I will see with Christ’s Vision, which shows me the Love in my brothers. I naturally join with this Love because Love always unifies, being one.

Love recognizes the appearance of lack of Love as simply a call for Love and automatically offers Love in response. Being formless, Love does not require words and actions to extend. Today I choose to align my thoughts with the Holy Spirit and join in Love with everyone I meet or think of. Love will guide me if there are words or actions to express this joining. Thus will I give in the spirit of Christmas.
