Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, everyone, Welcome to spiritual sunshine. Today we're diving in
to the true meaning of Christmas. And no, I'm not
going to be talking as much about what other people
talk about when they say the true meaning and Christmas.
I'm going to be speaking a little bit more about
the deepest meaning for each of us, which has nothing
to do with whether or not you're Christian, which has

(00:23):
nothing to do whether you believe Christ died on a
cross and was resurrected. Even yes, Christmas in its deepest
sense is pointing to the anointed One within each of
us and is celebrating that whether you're Muslim, Atheist, Agnostic, Christian, Buddhist, Hindu,

(00:48):
whatever you call yourself, there is a light of consciousness
that shines in your experience. It can't help but be true.
It's true for not only human beings, but for animals
in this world. And if you look at the sacred
scriptures from the Bible to the Beata Scriptures and on

(01:12):
and on and on, we see this connection between the
light of consciousness with the light of God.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
And that is also the light of Love and the
lights of wisdom.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
Which is its form. Yes, Love's form is wisdom.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
And We're told in the Christian Gospels that that wisdom
called the Word in English, anyway.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
It was made flesh.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
Now I happen to believe that Christ isn't the only
embodiment of this wisdom, because Christ said you are the branches,
and I am the vine. Christ never said, well, you
have to say I'm your Lord and savior and believe.

Speaker 3 (01:59):
In my death and resurrection to go to heaven. He
never said that.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
He said a few other things we can go over,
like you have to become like these children. You have
to become like children again. You have to return to
the God at your core. You have to turn around,
and said he taught a ministry a gospel of repentance.
Turning too within is how he pointed it out. He said,

(02:25):
turn within, turn to the divinity that's in our midst,
the Heaven that is within you and around you. So
Christmas to me is yes, a celebration of a historical figure,
but also a celebration of the living God, not just

(02:45):
in this other being called Christ, which isn't other, but nothing.

Speaker 4 (02:51):
Else is other, honestly, but we won't go into that
too much today, but also the beingness that God said
throughout the traditions, is life itself, is love itself, is
truth itself, and it's shining through you.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
So Christmas is actually your holiday.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
So you know, happy Birthday, I guess, or happy being alive.
Thank you for your life, for your love, for your wisdom.
And this isn't a joke. Really, Sometimes these terms are overplay.
But if you ever have had to deal with wanting
to love people more, or feeling like you're disconnected, that

(03:35):
you're not loved, feeling like you.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
Are set upon, like no one ever hears you, like you.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
Don't know where you're going in this life and you're
not living up to your own expectations or someone else's,
then you know the importance or you're starting to is
I've come to find in my life a little bit
the importance of love and knowing that I don't have
to work to be love. That's the ultimate word in

(04:09):
the scripture.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
It's that love is your very nature.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
And as the Gospel said, the Word was made flesh. Yes, Christ,
and I celebrate that in this holiday season around Christmas
on Christmas Day, but not everyone does. And yet there's
something about Christmas and maybe these other holidays around this
time that draw us in too, greater reflection, contemplation, meditation, meditation.

Speaker 3 (04:40):
On the piece we find in family.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
We may not even know we're meditating, but we're just
in that groove right that we find when we're with
those we love, with our friends, when we're getting a
little break from work, when we have a little space
to maybe travel to go back home, sealed friends. So Christmas,

(05:05):
I think, is our holiday, and that's how Christ would
have wanted it celebrated. He never said to celebrate Christmas,
did he No, not.

Speaker 3 (05:14):
That we know of.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
He never even said, believe in my resurrection and otherwise
you're going to hell.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
He never said that. He never even said, have.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
Me as your Lord and Master and believe in my crucifixion,
or you're going to hell.

Speaker 3 (05:28):
He never said that either.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
Know, as many have pointed out throughout time, from Sweepborg
to modern stages and teachers like Aaron Atke and others,
we are called by Christ to embody the Christos at
our court, at our court, to embody the light, the love,

(05:53):
the spiritual sunshine that is our life. You can't escape it.
You can't escape your life. Even if you die. You
guess what you want to escape it?

Speaker 3 (06:07):
I promise you.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
If you've looked into a near death experiences or people
who have crossed over for a little while, you'll see.

Speaker 3 (06:17):
What I'm talking about.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
But I've had my own experience there, and I've come
to truly believe that there's more going.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
On than sometimes it seems to many of us.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
There's more going on, and I think in today's world,
with all the craziness, I don't know if you've heard
about all these drones in the sky and orbs, and
we've been hearing for decades around abductions and aliens, and
now we have whistleblowers saying that all the stuff that
discredited them, how all the newspapers treated them like cooks.

(06:49):
In fact, that's often how they phrase their headlines around
these things, calling these people crazy.

Speaker 3 (06:56):
That was all our government us into believing these things
aren't real.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
So our general disposition towards something so amazing as life
outside of this planet or inside this planet, is dubiousness,
despite the evidence, despite what you might have seen yourself,
or what your neighbors might have seen family members, We've

(07:21):
been pulled into a type of ignorance that Christ.

Speaker 3 (07:27):
Said we should overcome.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
Indeed, it's the ignorance about just the amazingness and the
plurality of life, about the creativity of the universe that
keeps us in a place that might crucify.

Speaker 3 (07:43):
Christ in our hearts.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
No matter what we think about Jesus and the Bible
and Christianity, we may think we're the most Christian person
there could ever be, we would crucify the real Christ
because we don't like his message.

Speaker 3 (08:00):
We don't like his message of guess what social justice? Yes,
social justice and what else? Well, we call it many things.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
Some call it socialism or communism or some derivation thereof Yes,
there are different versions of those things, just like there
are different versions of capitalism.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
I was a financial ecou major. I don't want to
get on my eye.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
Horse, but there's a lot of versions of even capitalism,
and we're in one of the worst ones right now.
But you know, all that aside, Christ would have a
message about love, about loving others. That wouldn't sit well
for many of us in our religious dogma, and wouldn't
sit well with those in scientific and atheistic dogma as well,

(08:46):
because often even in our scientific world, we approach God
from a place of belief instead of scientism. It's true,
I don't believe in that because I believe in science. Okay,
what that is not seconds, that is a religion, that's religion.
So you know, these things are fun to play with.

(09:07):
And I think that's why we're here in this life.
We all get into our silos. There's always room to grow.
That's the beautiful thing. It's always room to grow. And
when someone else rubs us the wrong way, guess what
we have room to grow. Yes, yes, Christ within is
accepting of situations, despite grieving, despite standing up for things,

(09:32):
despite fighting back. It is also accepting because it's like consciousness,
It just receives. God is patient, God is peace. Do
you think God is super bothered when this happens. Well,
if God is super bothered by whatever that thing is
in your head, then he's bothered all the time. She

(09:53):
is bothered all the time. And for some people that's
just calling God her. That's really bothersome. Well, how many
people in the world are calling God she right now?

Speaker 3 (10:04):
A lot?

Speaker 2 (10:05):
So God is super bothered right now on the next
second and the next second.

Speaker 3 (10:09):
Tell me if that makes sense.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
And so this holiday season, when we enter these conversations
in our heads, when we reflect on what it means
to celebrate Christmas or whatever holiday you're celebrating, even if
that's just time off holiday. The time off holiday, we
can come to a centeredness in the peace that is

(10:34):
the light of consciousness. So if we're having a tough conversation,
we're not saying eye to eye with someone around the
dinner table, around the lunch table on Christmas Day. If
we know that if someone brings up something that's going
to trigger us, know our minds, it's going to trigger
our minds.

Speaker 3 (10:51):
That we see from a place of peace, we can.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
Remind ourselves that throughout the sacred scriptures God has said,
or sages have said, or whatever, that the peace of
the light, of awareness, of love, of wisdom, which is
its form, can overcome all obstacles and be loving despite

(11:23):
how someone else talks, how we treat our minds are triggered,
and we can even love a mind that we often
identify with that can't help but stay in reactivity and
roll on down the hill snowballing. But the more we
come to see that we see that mind, we see

(11:44):
our reaction taking hold, We see our sense of self
playing in those thoughts and feelings. We see our attention
being drawn to certain things. Because our sense of self
is there, we gain more power to try truly celebrate
Christ's message, which is the message of a true Christmas,

(12:05):
which is peace on earth, goodwill towards humanity.

Speaker 3 (12:12):
And so this Christmas time.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
I wish that for all of us, for myself included,
to come to better understand that I am the light
that shines on a mind.

Speaker 3 (12:24):
Because I see my mind. I mean, who sees the mind?
What is it? It's a good question to ask ourselves
at times.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
And that light is peace. It sees on peace, it
sees turmoil, sees hostility, it sees fear, sees a sense
of disconnection where there is no sense of disconnection.

Speaker 3 (12:45):
But it is peace.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
And so today I invite you to that piece, just
for a few moments, right now. It's not something you
can lose, actually taking a deep breath or three, relaxing
our bodies, from our feet to our face, our heads,

(13:13):
leasing our abdomens, releasing our shoulders, releasing our judgments as
they come. The thing we need to do, releasing that
as it comes to mind, Just accepting the peace that
we are, the peace of Christos, of the anointed One,

(13:35):
the Redeemer, that the Bible calls Christ, yes, but also
others throughout its texts. Indeed, it's talking of the angelic,
the divine, the holy nature that Christ came to embody
in the text, at least, the holy nature that we

(13:57):
read about in the Gospels. The symbolism of growth and overcoming,
of casting out demons, as Christ so often did.

Speaker 3 (14:09):
Something we tend to forget.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
Of overcoming the fact that many of us have our
connections to the dark side, to bad habits, to addictions,
and identifying with that story that sees those things, accepts
the person for who they are with those things and heals.

(14:37):
It's willing for the spirit of healing to come into
our own life, into others' lives, if there is.

Speaker 3 (14:49):
Such a thing.

Speaker 2 (14:50):
No, In fact, we are one in the spirit. We
all are consciousness. A cockroach has no choice of being
a cockroach. It just shines as a cockroach. The mind
of a cockroach shines in the awareness of the being
we call cockroach. It's us we.

Speaker 3 (15:16):
Shine in our minds. We had no control.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
Even if we were some alien or something that chose
this life, or some spirit higher spirit that.

Speaker 3 (15:25):
Chose this life.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
We were a consciousness that was receiving that mind of
that higher spirit, of that whatever, and is receiving the
mind of your embodiment.

Speaker 3 (15:37):
Today we are.

Speaker 2 (15:42):
Container for the spirit of God, and yet we often
identify with what's coming into our cup, which keeps the.

Speaker 3 (15:49):
Lid on it.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
Unfortunately, it keeps the lid on our embodiment instead of
allowing the spirit of life to flow. And so today
see that in yourself, that the spirit of life is flowing.
Your attention can't help but plow from this to that.
Even the things that seem like they are going to
stick around forever, we forget about them two minutes later,

(16:14):
at least for a while. And often the things we're
drawn to are because we identify as them. And yet
those things are concoctions, ideas about ourselves, or situations that
we want to defend ourselves in. But what is the
self besides this light? We receive these modes of being

(16:39):
our bodies or experiences, and we can exert some will,
but especially when we come to not identify with the defensiveness,
with the fear, and start to see that we are
the light of God called Christ. As Jesus said, we

(17:03):
are the branches.

Speaker 3 (17:05):
He is the vine, he said in himself and He
also said.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
We will do greater things than Christ, than himself. He
said that in the Gospels, he said, we are going
to be judged by our hearts and actions.

Speaker 3 (17:26):
We're judged.

Speaker 2 (17:28):
By our own consciousness, shining into a mind that's either
caught an addiction and hell or finds freedom through knowing
it's all coming from above and within, that the good
things are from God, that life and love is our

(17:51):
very nature and doesn't have to be built up but
allowed to shine.

Speaker 3 (18:01):
So I invite you at the end of this video
to continue.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
This meditation, whatever you do, to continue this meditation, seeing
that you are the piece of the season, the reason
for the season. That you don't have to become Christian.
You don't have to do anything besides see yourself for

(18:28):
what you are.

Speaker 3 (18:29):
You don't have to concoct it. Let go of all concoctions,
I go all machinations.

Speaker 2 (18:39):
Let yourself be embarrassing a little bit. I have to
in these videos. I mean, I don't know if you noticed.
How about the best at letting myself be embarrassing. Still
like to look cool a little bit, but you know,
I'm getting better, And allow yourself just to be knowing
that whatever you do whatever that mind's doing, still going

(19:01):
to have its stuff, but as you come into freedom,
you'll be able to release it.

Speaker 3 (19:07):
But whatever it's doing, you are the love of the
light of the season.

Speaker 2 (19:13):
So Merry Christmas to you. I know that you're loved
because we are all loved. You are loved so much
by this universe.

Speaker 3 (19:23):
It's all around you.

Speaker 2 (19:24):
Everything around you had to be like that for you
to exist this way. That means the universe is really
into you, okay, and you are also love Peace,
