I think, or at least I hope, it's a general phenomenon. I confess to giving up sending Christmas cards about ten years ago. After a few years our friends and acquaintances obviously noticed we weren't requiting their Yuletide greetings, and the stream slowed to a dribble until last year we got one - yes one! - pro forma card from some real estate agent I couldn't even remember!

Phoowey to Christmas!
I wish my friends a good break or a happy holiday or a happy summer solstice. But that Xmess business, nope it went by the wayside years ago! So Graham, you might be a wee bit of a Scrooge McDuck, but compared to me your scroogery is infinitesimal! ( :< / Posted by Ludwig, Friday, 17 December 2010 1:28:11 PM

Me too ,and what a relief.

Graham:
I usually send out quite a few Christmas cards, mainly overseas, and ones to people that I won't be seeing. And this year I must admit that I did narrow the numbers a bit, as well as thus far we've been getting less as well. So, yes, I would definitely agree that numbers have noticeably dropped. PS: I don't like electronic cards - you can't hang them up and display them and I must admit I love the old-fashioned cards that add a certain lustre to a room. It's also nice to get a personal hand-written message from a friend. I also love the Christmas-letters that people write - but that's just me. Posted by Lexi, Friday, 17 December 2010 2:54:48 PM

I have never been much on sending Christmas cards.
That is perhaps why I have lost contact with quite a few people with whom I would now like to be in contact, even if just occasionally. It is as you get close to becoming history, that your history, & the people in it become more important to you. Make the effort to stay in contact.

if its only sending a card...once a year
i fail to see xmass as being more important than their birthday so the rule of thumb..if you dont care about their body why make the effort on their soul business is different any excuse for them to remember you [and its tax deductable] what is the reason...seems to be important if its hoping to get lots of returns...that reasoning seems wrong if your buying those charity cards..and just want to impress others about how benevolent to others you are..[again this seems wrong] better to just make a donation..telling them to send the cars themselves.;..maybe even give them some extra for postage xmass is a time..for thinking for remembering..[not to be rememberd] on this day we saw..the birth of jesus..who brought the new law [love god by loving neighbour]... our messiah then went on to reveal..judgment day a lie..by conquring death..telling even a thief on a cross..beside him..this day..he too will be in heaven he further rebutted the concept of judgment 'day' or else he couldnt have come back..on the 3 rd day mostly this is about family reaching out and touching someone or mending bridges..with a card.. or saying im thinking of ya today or im thinking of you too...mum i know..not returning a xmass card..ends the cycle there is no right or wrong in this,.. do as your heart tells you allways let your conscience be your guide Posted by one under god, Friday, 17 December 2010 7:27:29 PM

Hasbeen:
Great advice! By all means stay in contact. I'd lost contact with a dear friend and quite by accident I found them on the web and sent an email. Lo and behold I got a reply, and now we're in touch again - it's as if time stood still. We've taken up where we left off - Oh What a Feeling! Johan (OUG): It is only once a year - isn't it? So yes. I say make the effort! It's well worth it! As I've just discovered! Posted by Lexi, Friday, 17 December 2010 7:54:07 PM

I send cards to people interstate or overseas only.
I see no point in sending them to people I see regularly. I also see no point in sending religious cards at all, because a baby's supposed birth 2000 years ago means nothing to me. I like the holidays and am happy to celebrate good times! Posted by suzeonline, Friday, 17 December 2010 10:14:40 PM

Suzeonline that cost me Friends.
Sending non religious cards. Mums youngest sister a great lady took offense at my card a local beach scene ,nothing bad about it. It wished every one well said how much I wished mum had lived to see my home and she never spoke to me again. Seems God is displeased with any joy not related to him.

Merry Christmas beautiful Lexi, your family are extremely lucky to have you in their lives.
I love your story Belly! That has given me a great laugh for the day! No seasons greetings allowed for that particular little lady Belly LOL. One batch in 47 years I have despatched, no wonder everyone gave up on sending me any each year for the past ten years LOl! I would have loved receiving your beach card!

Sorry Graham I am a bit slow off the mark this year. In fact I've only just filled out my Christmas cards this very afternoon. Unfortunately, I seem to have misplaced your address, so you'll just have to accept my seasons greeting through this medium.
Practically everyone on my Christmas card list are those who I rarely see with the exception of one very good friend, although I must confess to waiting to the last week to see if anybody has dropped me from their list. The cards I send are usually those deemed to be neither religious or overtly the other way and usually consist of store-bought ones with cheap drawings of Christmas bells, Santas and elves. That kind of thing, although if I happened to pick up some religious cards, it wouldn't bother me to send them. After all, they're simply pieces of cardboard that more than likely get tossed in the bin at the end of the season......or before! If only I wasn't such a recluse and saw my friends more often, then I may not bother with cards, but sometimes the people who receive my cards don't see me for years at a time, so a simple Christmas card at least lets them know I'm still alive. When I finally do drop off the perch, that missing Christmas card might be the only hint to say I'm gone. I'll be one of those types who are found months after my death, just a bit of dry parchment over a frail skeleton :-) Posted by Aime, Saturday, 18 December 2010 6:12:22 PM

It seems to me that a couple of things are happening. Firstly
technology change, secondly generational change. There was an article in today's Sunday Times, to the tune that Hallmark report flat sales and Australia Post is doing less mail, due to emails, Facebook and all the rest. It seems that boomers still send christmas cards, its an old tradition, but Gen Y are ditching the concept. I ditched the idea years ago, so I must be youthful of mind :) The most amusing people I find are those who keep Christmas Cards and string them up in following years, to show how many cards they received!

Merry Christmas Graham and Staff - thank you for giving me the invaluable opportunity to read and learn from other people and express my views in the hope I have offered something to assist some other people.
Merry Christmas to all OLO people for being tolerant of those views and more importantly, thank you for all of your views this year that have assisted myself and children. Posted by we are unique, Sunday, 19 December 2010 10:51:14 PM

We're all so terrified of global warming - this being the hottest year of all time, that we have retreated into our caves and are waiting it out!

some back ground...
[not found..in/on..upcomming/birth..xmass-cards] 'How can I have a son,..when no man has touched me, nor am I unchaste?' He..(the angel) said: 'So (it will be),..your Lord said: 'That is easy for Me: And to appoint him as a sign to mankind..and a mercy from Us..(from God)',..and it is a matter..(already) decreed(by God).' (Quran 19:16-21) In these verses,..it is described how the pious virgin Mary is visited by angel Gabriel,..who appears before her in a form of a man. Not knowing who he is, she fears for herself, but he asserts to her that he is an angel,..a Messenger from her Lord,..and he announces to her..news of her miraculous conception of a son. [you shall call him emmanuel..[god..with[in]..us all] In shock,..she questioned,..affirming her chastity. The angel answers that such a conception,..though the miraculous,..is easy for The Lord, all He needs to say is "Be."..and it is. And that these are matters decreed by Him, for greater purposes..and to the benefit of mankind. The Miracle. And then, miraculously,..Mary becomes pregnant. The emotional story of her pregnancy follows: "So she conceived him,..and she withdrew with him to a far place. And the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a date-palm...near the manger She said: 'Would that I had died before this, and had been forgotten..and out of sight!' Then a call unto her from bellow, said: 'Grieve not! Your Lord has provided a water stream under you; And shake the trunk of the date-palm towards you,..it will let fall fresh ripe dates upon you. So eat and drink and be glad, and if you see any human being, say: 'Verily! I have vowed..a fast unto the Most Beneficent so I shall not speak..to any human being this day.'"

19:27..Then she brought him to her own folk,..carrying him.
They said:..O Mary! Thou hast come with an amazing thing. O sister of Aaron! Thy father was not a wicked man nor was thy mother a harlot. Mary, the mother of Jesus,..was the sister of Aaron. (Apparently,..Muhammad confused Mary with Miriam.) 19:29 Then she pointed to him. They said: *How can we talk..to one who is in the cradle,..a young boy ? 19:30..THEN...*He spake: Lo! I am the slave of Allah. He hath given me..the Scripture and hath appointed me..a Prophet, 19:31 And hath made me blessed wheresoever I may be,..and hath enjoined upon me prayer and giving..so long as I remain alive, 19:32..And (hath made me) dutiful toward her who bore me, and hath not made me arrogant,..not unblest. 19:33..Peace on me the day I was born, and the day I die,..and the day I shall be raised alive! 19:34 Such was Jesus,..son of Mary: (this is) a statement of the truth concerning which they doubt. 19:35 It befitteth not..(the Majesty of) Allah..that He should take unto Himself but a single son...for the life giver sustains us all our very living Glory be to Him! When He decreeth a thing,..He saith unto it only: Be!..and it is. (19:35-37)"Woe unto the disbelievers from the meeting of an awful Day." Jesus was not alone..the Son of God. we are all the suns of the only light 19:36 And lo! Allah is my Lord and your Lord. So serve Him...by servinmg other..That is the right path. 19:37..The sects among them differ: 19:39..Now they are in a state of carelessness, and they believe not. 19:40..Lo! We,..only We,[suns of the light of man] ..inherit the earth..and all who are thereon,[born with nothing taking only our memories...when we crossover and RETURN..unto Us..[the spirit]..they are returned... as jesus [emmanuel..hast returned] 19:41..And make mention..(O Muhammad) in the Scripture..of Abraham.

update...mary and emmanuel are doing fine
the occupation force..is refusing to regester his birth details [or even acknowledge his standing as a freeborn messiah of the lord] lets us be clear When one examines the argument against Jesus this is by virtue of him[and his mother]..being a Palestinian, one detects a remarkable amount of hostility aimed at both Palestinians and Muslims...One cannot help but wonder,..is there something threatening about identifying Jesus as a Palestinian? Professor Jack D. Forbes writes about Jesus’ multi-cultural and multi-ethnic environment: When the Romans came to dominate the area,..they used the name Palestine...Thus, when Yehoshu'a..[Jesus]{{emaunuel}}..was born,..he was born a Palestinian..as were all of the inhabitants of the region, Jews and non-Jews. He was also a Nazarene..(being born in Nazareth) and a Galilean..(born in the region of Galilee)… Events Surrounding The Birth Of Jesus 4 BC: Augustus Caesar issues a decree that a census of the Roman empire be taken in the spring of 3 BC (possibly for the ultimate purposes of taxation). Pre 3 BC: Quirinius, Governor of Syria, implements Caesar's decree in a way which will disturb the Jews least. He conspires with the Sanhedrin to direct the Jews to keep the Passover where their family records are held. Quirinius likely coordinated this action with Herod..(Governor of Israel). 30 Mar.3 BC:Joseph and a pregnant Mary arrive in Bethlehem..(6 miles from Jerusalem)..on Saturday just before Passover begins at sundown and seek shelter. 31 Mar.3 BC: Jesus is born on this Sabbath morning,..the first day of Passover,..at 8:20 AM. Danjo deduces that Jesus was born in 3 BC and offers six possible dates and times..(including this one)....the israelie authorities further complicate the issue but we know better he was born this previous day[hight] the wholly holy night...and we know for certain the day he dies [yet dont die..rebutting judgement/reserction day..being one particular day..in time] continue's Posted by one under god, Sunday, 26 December 2010 10:45:08 PM

3-2 BC: The Magi visit Herod..seeking the new born messiah/of the true king
They may have deduced the nominal year of Jesus's impending birth by applying the I - Ching astrological techniques..to the prophecies of Daniel..(appointed master of astrologers by Nebuchadnezzar). Daniel predicted the year the "anointed one"..(Messiah) would appear. They compared the manifestation of the Buddha with these predictions,..subtracting 35 years from Daniel's predicted year and arrived at the nominal birth year of the Jesus. Herod consults Jewish priests (the Sanhedrin) and discover that the "King of the Jews" was to be born in Bethlehem and related this information to the Magi. The Magi apply Tzu Wei astrological techniques to isolate specific dates when "king like" male children were born in Bethlehem. They find the record of Jesus' birth[YEAH HOW?}{now..huh?] and depart for Nazareth. 17 Jun.2 BC:..The Magi..(oriental scientists) from the east, anticipating a unique conjunction of Jupiter and Venus..[love and sport?] one so close..that the two planets appear to collide..because their positions could not be resolved or separated by the unaided eye),.. the wise mates..coordinate their visit and presentation of gifts to Jesus..because they want to make a lasting impression on an "avatar". The "stars" may have indeed led them to Jesus,..because the Magi identified Jesus by using the Tzu Wei Chinese astrology. Polaris..(not then at the pole)..is the Tzu Wei or king star which gives this Chinese astrology its name. 9 Jan. 1 BC: Herod's soothsayers noted the total lunar eclipse on the midnight of this day and predicted that it bode ill for Herod who was besieged with problems.. (among other things.. he had recently executed one of his sons for trying to usurp..*his throne..and he was suspicious of the other). A little later:..Herod,..not having access to the Magi's astrology, uses the only information..he has available. He tries to kill..the new born king..and end the threat.. continues Posted by one under god, Sunday, 26 December 2010 10:51:15 PM

...of yet another..possible usurper to the quasi authority..of his throne...
He put to death babies..in the greater Bethlehem area back to as far as..January 3 BC. Jesus..[emmanuel]..may have remained safe in Nazareth..(66 miles north of Jerusalem)..even if his family had not fled to Egypt...buty there are the legalk complications inherant..in leaving the lands of his birth[to wit a non return policy by the CURRENT-invaders Herod failed to order..that the records in Bethlehem be checked for the current location of all male children..born during that period. The Jewish historian Josephus..records the death of Herod shortly after the 9 January eclipse.. i will repeat josephs statement ther is no significant differns bettwen the three major religinons from the Midle East. The danger is when politics and comon greed is mixst in to this, they give the rissing of racism..and oppresion of half of mankind,..our children/wards..as well as our womenn. The three great religions..faild allready in the beggining, they are to day, missinterpeded in stuningly selfish ways. In achiving greatnes,..and to rise up as a human(menn and women)..they are essensualy same. Love your self,..and love your nabour. Everything included. The truth is that in the end, its all up to you,..and nobody else. The path is laid, so its up to you to walk that walk. [he will be good for emmanuel] now let eve[the proude great/power] have last say peace "I,..with a deeper instinct,nurture choose a man..who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me,to be the better me[than he] who does not doubt..my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naïve..or innocent, who has..the courage..to treat me like a woman." not a mother..

the news is too depressing
lets hear what jesu learned/taught to thomas on the first day..at the sea-side Jesus said, "Let him who seeks..continue seeking..until he finds. When he finds,..he will become troubled. When he becomes troubled,..he will be astonished, and it is by overcomming astonishment.. he will rule..over himself...and over the All." Jesus said, "If those who lead you say, 'See,..the Kingdom is in the sky,' then the birds of the sky..will precede you. If they say to you,..'It is in the sea,' then the fish..will precede you. Rather,..the Kingdom..is inside of you, and..it is outside..of you....within theee...as well as me When you come to know yourselves, then you will become known, and you will realize..that it is you who are the sons of the living Father. But if you will not know yourselves,..you dwell in poverty and it is you..who are chosing to live...within..that poverty." Jesus said, "The man old..in days will not hesitate to ask a small child seven days old..about the place of life,..[heaven]..and he will live. For many..who are first..will become last, and from then on..they will become one..and the same." atonement..[at one meant] Jesus said, "Recognize..what is in your sight,[our fathers creations] and that which is hidden..[our father]..for you will become plain..to you. For there is nothing hidden..[cause] ..which will not become manifest."[affect] oh how the truth floweth from the mouths of babes [ok a lot of dribble too] but look at what the dribble can do jesu made once 7 ponds of dribble then made 5 mud swallows... but this perhaps..in another day the world is not alone good news... so recall..the parrable of the lost/found horse Posted by one under god, Tuesday, 28 December 2010 6:53:52 AM

let others inform thee
of the power/parrable..of the horse http://www.personal-development.com/chuck/thatslife.htm Jesus said, "Do not tell lies,..and do not do..that which/what..you hate, for all things are plain..in the sight of Heaven. see haters..*chose to hate lovers CHOSE*..to love For nothing..*hidden will not become manifest, and nothing covered..will remain without being..uncovered." Jesus said, "Blessed is the lion..which becomes man..when consumed..*by man; and cursed..is the man..whom the lion consumes, and the lion..in no way..becomes a man." And He said, "The Kingdom..is like a wise fisherman who cast his net into the sea and drew it up..from the sea..full of small fish. Among them the wise fisherman found a fine large fish. He threw all the small fish back into the sea and chose the large fish without difficulty. Whoever has ears to hear,..let him hear." see the large fish was a breeder protector..of a safe place..for the young..to grow strong when the big one was taken away...the other..big fish ate all the little ones.. why didst he not take half the small and return..the big-fish..back to its god given duty protecting the small Jesus said, "Now the sower went out,..took a handful..(of seeds),and scattered them...unthinkingly. Some fell on the road;..the birds came and gathered them up. Others fell on the rock,..did not take root in the soil,..and did not produce ears...after their kind. And others fell ammoung the thorns; they choked the seed(s)..and worms ate them. And others fell on the good soil..and produced good fruit: some in tens..some in hundreds.. but each according to the season for even a dead seed has life within just as you have life..WITH-in worry not about the asdnmixture of good wheat..or bad tares let the harvest..make the judgment call...and each redeem their odious debt..in their own timming Posted by one under god, Tuesday, 28 December 2010 7:09:53 AM

Jesus said,.."I have cast fire..[wild fire;passion of love]..upon the world,
and see,..I am guarding it..until it blazes....its own wisdom..with loves passions" Jesus said, "This mortal idea..of heaven will pass away, BUT..the one above..it will never pass away. The dead are they not alive?, and the living will..to sefve good or vile..cannot die. In the days..when you consumed what is dead, you made it..what your thoughts sought it to be...it is thus made alive. When you come to dwell in the light,..what will you do? but the passions you also then chose to do[make real;make live] On the day..when you were one with love you became two. But when you become two,..what will you to do?" Jesus said to His disciples, "Compare me to someone and tell Me...whom I am like." Simon Peter said to Him,.."You are like..a righteous angel." Matthew said to Him,.."You are like..a wise philosopher." Thomas said to Him, "Master, my mouth is wholly incapable of saying..whom..You are like." Jesus said,.."I am not your master...Because you have drunk,life's wisdoms you have become intoxicated..by the bubbling spring which I have measured out." but it is the fathers waters i share all wells...all beliefs..all creeds [all wisdoms...come from..the same water source..[good]god And He took...thomas..the light source of these words..within him and withdrew..and told him three things. When..Thomas returned to his companions, they asked him,.."What did Jesus say to you?" Thomas said to them,.."If I tell you one of the things which he told me,..you will pick up stones and throw them at me;..then..a fire will come out of the stones..and burn you up."

When you go into
any land and walk about in the districts, if they receive you, eat what they will set before you, and heal the sick among them. For what goes into your mouth will not defile you, but that which issues from your mouth - it is that which will defile you." 15) Jesus said, "When you see one who was not born of woman, prostrate yourselves on your faces and worship him. That one is your Father." 16) Jesus said, "Men think, perhaps, that it is peace which I have come to cast upon the world. They do not know that it is dissension which I have come to cast upon the earth: fire, sword, and war. For there will be five in a house: three will be against two, and two against three, the father against the son, and the son against the father. And they will stand solitary." 17) Jesus said, "I shall give you what no eye has seen and what no ear has heard and what no hand has touched and what has never occurred to the human mind." 18) The disciples said to Jesus, "Tell us how our end will be." Jesus said, "Have you discovered, then, the beginning, that you look for the end? For where the beginning is, there will the end be. Blessed is he who will take his place in the beginning; he will know the end and will not experience death." 19) Jesus said, "Blessed is he who came into being before he came into being. If you become My disciples and listen to My words, these stones will minister to you. For there are five trees for you in Paradise which remain undisturbed summer and winter and whose leaves do not fall. Whoever becomes acquainted with them will not experience death.

Mary said to Jesus,.."Whom are Your disciples like?"
He said,.."They are like children who have settled in a field..which is not theirs. When the owners of the field come,..they will say,..'Let us have back our field.' They..(will)..undress in their presence..[for slaves gain their freedom..by returning the masters parnments]..in order to let them..have back..their field and thus..give it back..to them. Therefore I say to you,..if the owner of a house knows..that the thief is coming,..he will begin his vigil before he comes and will not let him..into his true house of his domain to..carry away his goods. to casst pearl before swine You,..then,..be on your guard against the worldly spoil. Arm yourselves with great strength lest the robbers find a way to come to you, bearing gifts..powers adorations..material honours for the difficulty..which you expect will..(surely)..*material-ize. Let there be among..you a man of understanding...When the grain has ripened, he came quickly with his sickle..in his hand and reaped it... Whoever has ears to hear,..let him hear." Jesus saw infants being suckled. He said to His disciples, "These infants being suckled are like those who enter the Kingdom." They said to Him, "Shall we then,..as children, enter the Kingdom?" Jesus said to them,.."When you make the two hearts..of one living loving mind..two become one,..and when you make the inside..like the outside...and the outside like the inside, and the above..like the below, and when you make..the male..and the female one and the same,..so that the male..not be male nor the female..be female; and when you fashion eyes..in the place of an eye, and a hand's..in place of a hand, and a feet..in place of a foot, and..a likeness in place of a difference; then will you enter..[the Kingdom]."

His disciples said to Him,
"Show us the place where You are, since it is necessary for us to seek it." He said to them, "Whoever has ears,..let him hear. There is..light within a man man is not..the light..but..of the light, and he..(or "it")..lights up..the whole world. If he..(or "it")..does not shine,.. he..(or "it")..is rejecting the light thus has chosen..to reside within the darkness..." 2Jesus said,.."Love your brother..like your soul, guard him..like the pupil..of your eye." Jesus said, "You see the mote..in your brothers eye, but you..do not see..the beam in your own eye. When you cast the beam out-of..your own eye, then you will see clearly..to cast the mote..[blind spot]..from your brother's eye." <Jesus said,> "If you do not fast...[limit materialism]..as regards the world, you will not find the Kingdom...within us all If you do not observe..the Sabbath..[the rest-day].. as a..Sabbath,...[earned/deserved..equally..by all].. you will not see..the Father...in you..or them" Jesus said, "I took my place..in the midst of the world, and I appeared..to them..in the flesh. I found all of them intoxicated; I found none of them thirsty. And My soul became afflicted for the sons of men,.. because they are blind..in their hearts and do not have sight;..for empty they came into the world, and empty too they seek to leave the world. But for the moment they are..intoxicated. When they shake off their wine,..then they will repent." Jesus said,.."If the flesh..came into being.. because of spirit,..it is a wonder. But if spirit..came into being..because of the body,..it is a wonder of wonders. Indeed,..I am amazed at how this great wealth..has made its home..in this poverty." The disciples..said to Jesus, "We know..that You will depart from us...Who is to be our leader?" Jesus said to them, "Wherever you are,..you are to go to..[James]..*the righteous,.. for whose sake..heaven..and earth came into being."

Jesus said,
"It is impossible..for a man to mount two horses.. or to stretch two bows...at the same time And..it is impossible..for a servant to serve two masters; otherwise he will honor the one..and treat the other contemptuously. likewise..its impossable to change what a man belief's No man drinks..old wine..[creed].. and immediately desires to drink new wine...[new ways] And new wine..[creed/belief]..is not put into old wineskins,[fixed minds]..lest they burst; nor is old wine..put into a new wineskin, lest it spoil it...[this is the lesson..of those who wanderd the desetrts..for 40 years...till ONLY their children..walked upon the promised..land An old patch..is not sewn onto a new garment,..[like with like]..because a tear would result." 48)Jesus said, "If two make peace..with each other..in this one house,[of one mind] they will say..even to the mountain,..'Move Away,' and it will..move away." [no one likes a crouchy host] shake the dust of your feet..and leave them be thus as they chose to be 49)Jesus said, "Blessed are the solitary..and selective, for you will find..the Kingdom...within..and they decry it For you are from it,..and..to it you will return." [as a man thinketh...so he is..in his heart] 50)Jesus said, "If they say to you,..'Where did you come from?', say to them,..'We came from the light,..the place where the light came into being..on its own accord..and established..[itself] and..became manifest..through their image.' [lighten up] If they say to you,..'Is it you?', say,..'We are its children,..we are the erect..of the Living Father.'...doing that of love/good..as he does..for all If they ask you,..'What is the sign..of your father in you?',..say to them,..'It is movement..[light life love logic]..and repose.[grace mercy forgiveness..patience]'" 51)..His disciples said to Him, "When will the repose..of the dead..come about, and when..will the new world come?" He said to them, "What you look forward to..has already come, to each in their own time.. but you..do not recognize it." let the dead..tend the dead for what are dead works Posted by one under god, Wednesday, 29 December 2010 6:48:11 AM

His disciples..said to Him,
"Twenty-four prophets..spoke in..palistein, and all of them spoke..in You." He said to them, "You have omitted the one living..in your presence..[cause..you talk of affect].. and have thus spoken..(only)..of the dead."[affect] 53)..His disciples..said to Him, "Is circumcision beneficial or not?" He said to them, "If it were beneficial,..their father would beget them...*already circumcised..from their mother. Rather,..the true circumcision..[of thyne lips] is in spirit...which has become completely profitable."[has good works]..[not good words] 54)Jesus said, "Blessed are the poor, for yours..is the Kingdom of Heavenly reperation." 55)Jesus said,.."Whoever does not hate his father..[good/god]..and his mother..cannot become a disciple to Me...[one gave me..*life the other..brought me into..all this material-muddle] And whoever..does not hate his brothers and sisters and take up his cross..[burden]..giving good for bad.. in My way[by doing as theee see me do]..will not be worthy of Me." i will say i know him not by his works he has harvested..but not planted 56)Jesus said, "Whoever has come to understand..ONLY..the world has found (only)..a corpse, and whoever has found..a corpse is superior..to the materialistic being of this world." 57)Jesus said, "The Kingdom of the Father..is like a man..who had..[good]seed. His enemy came by night..and sowed weeds..among the good seed. life has many temptations but are you building your house on firm foundations [or why evil thrives...here] The man..did not allow them..to pull up the weeds; he said to them,[who judged in hast..

Jesus said,
"Take heed of the Living One..while you are alive, lest you die..and seek to see Him..[yet have rejected the light].. and thus be unable..to do so." 60)<They saw>..a Samaritan carrying a lamb on his way..to hudea. He*,,said to his disciples, "(Why does)..that man(carry)..the lamb around?" They*..said to him, "So that he may kill it..and eat it." He said to them, "While it is alive,..he will not eat it, but only..when he has killed it..and it has become a corpse." They said to him,.. "He cannot do so otherwise." He said to them, "You too,..look for a place for yourself within the Repose,..lest you become a corpse..and be eaten." ..Jesus said, "Two rest on a sick-bed:..the one will die,and other will live." yet both live..regardless of who lives on here..or who lives on there but its the quality of living you lived here..that determines the quality of life you live there 61..Salome said to him,,.. "Who are You,..man,.. that You,..as though..from the One,.. have come up on my couch..and eaten..from my table?" Jesus said to her, "I am He who exists..from the Undivided. I was given..some of the things of my Father." "Therefore I say,..if he is..<undivided>, he will be filled with light,..but if he is divided,..he will be filled with darkness."

Jesus said,
"It is to those..[who are worthy of My]..mysteries that I tell My mysteries. Do not let your left hand..know what your right hand is doing." Jesus said,.."There was a rich man..who had much money. He said,..'I shall put my money to use so that I may sow,reap,plant, and fill my storehouse with produce, with the result that..I shall lack nothing. Such were his intentions, but that same night he died...Let him who has ears hear." 64)..Jesus said,.."A man had received visitors. And when he had prepared the dinner,..he sent his servant to invite guests. He went to the first one.and said to him, "My master invites you.' He said,..'I have claims against some merchants. They are coming to me this evening. I must go and give them my orders. I ask to be excused..from the dinner.' He went to another and said,..'My master has invited you.' He said to him, 'I have just bought a house and am required for the day. I shall not have any spare time.' He went to another and said to him, 'My master invites you.' He said to him, 'My friend is going to get married, and I am to prepare the banquet. I shall not be able to come. I ask to be excused from the dinner.' He went to another and said to him, 'My master invites you.' He said to him, 'I have just bought a farm, and I am on my way to collect the rent. I shall not be able to come. I ask to be excused.' The servant returned and said to his master, 'Those whom you invited to the dinner have asked to be excused.' The master said to his servant, 'Go outside to the streets and bring back those whom you happen to meet,..so that they may dine.' Businessmen and merchants will not enter the Places of My Father."

He sent his servant so that the tenants might give him..the surplus-produce..of the vineyard. They seized his servant and beat him,..all but killing him. The servant went back..and told his master. The master said,..'Perhaps..<they> did not recognize..<him>.' He sent another servant. The tenants beat this one as well. Then the owner sent his son and said, 'Perhaps they will show respect to my son.' Because the tenants..knew that it was he who was the heir to the vineyard,..they seized him and killed him... and then taxed their labouers... and made them..under threat..and imprisonment..pay other ursury Let him who has ears hear."

"Many are standing..at the door,..but it is the solitary..[one by one]..who will enter the bridal chamber." 76)..Jesus said, "The kingdom of the Father..is like a merchant who had a consignment of merchandise..and who discovered a pearl. That merchant was shrewd...He sold the merchandise and bought the pearl alone for himself...You too,..seek his unfailing and enduring treasure..[of eternal-spirit]..where no moth comes near..to devour and no worm destroys." 77)..Jesus said,.."It is I am..[god]..who am the light which is above them all. It is I am..who is the All. From He..did the All come forth,..and unto He did the All extend. Split a piece of wood,..and I am is there. Lift up the stone,..and you will find he..is allready..there."

Upon them are the fine..[garments], and they are thereby unable to discern the truth." Jesus said, "He who has recognized the world has found only that of the body,..[flesh] but he who has found the body within is superior..to the world." 81)..Jesus said, "Let him who has grown rich be king, and let him...who possesses power...renounce it."

The continual surge in oil prices greatly accelerated Russia’s capacity to restore financial sovereignty. http://www.realjewnews.com/?p=205 THE U.S. STOCK MARKET IS RIGGED http://www.opednews.com/articles/THE-U-S-STOCK-MARKET-IS-R-by-lila-york-101227-303.html?show=votes Does the United States still have a stock market?

gratefull..the link didnt reveal actual..info
i tried to ask for some..via comment but comment didnt work..either do you have a script...of the teaching? anyhow i was talking about ursury..[i hate it] recall jesus upset the tables of the creeds selling tokens..according to the sin... [or rather the blood sacrifice.. that would redeem the...'sin'] i suppose on the surface..paying a token-coin sacrificing money..is better than murder of an innocent beast never the less..by god all sin is forgiven as soon as we repent...and seek to do good works and not before...if we learn nothing...know god needs no intermediator we can know god direct..one to one simply by loving neighbour as thyself one way...love so lets egsamin the table's incident Perhaps you would need to be the light. Sometimes we are in that place in our life where we are surrounded by darkness,..so we need to hold up our light,..by works..to the good.. to serve creation.. just as god serves us..[created]..our living take a good look all around us to see where we're going. But I want you to realize, my brother, that when you're holding up your light, there's a whole host..whose prayers for you..to find yourself..are even stronger than your own. We are guiding you...Do not doubt that. And follow your heart...Find your home. half a shekel of silver, the amount laid down in the Law of Moses for the atonement of every Israelite, in Exodus 30:11-16. In the first century half a shekel was reckoned the equivalent of two Greek drachmas or two Roman denarii. A laborer could earn that amount in two days. The priests decreed...lol..that payment should be made in coins..of the purest silver...[special..lol..type...creed] Posted by one under god, Thursday, 30 December 2010 1:34:10 PM

Only one sort was acceptable,..the silver coins of the city of Tyre.
Many of the traders charged very high prices,..taking shameless advantage of the pilgrims who came..from the countryside and from foreign lands. The traders had to pay for permission to have their stalls in this area, and they had to pay...the leading priests...their kickback...the tokens..at reduced fee..to sell to the next batch of elites...trying to buy a soul.. It can be estimated that the amount taken to the Temple each year was about half a million shekels. The Tyrean shekel was worth four denarii, so the annual income of the Temple would be equivalent to wages for two million man-days of work, or 5480 man-years of work, on a basis of 7 working days per week. Let's say the average yearly income of a North American today would be 30.000 dollars. Then you could calculate the Temple income almost as 170 million dollars. [The Temple was not the spiritual center any more, it had become big business!] Very well,..this was the situation. Jesus entered with us,..and stayed silent for a while, observing the chaos, the noise, animals bellowing, people screaming, clients haggling with dealers, humble people with scared looks, a tremendous tumult. And then he took the word, hollering to dominate the commotion with his voice. And suddenly, there was all silence. Those were the famous words: "It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves." Jesus didn't mince matters, he uttered openly what he thought and felt. And what..had to happen..happened....see you not what is happening today..? People got angry. A great uproar arose. Everybody knew that Jesus was right, and they let off their steam over the salesmen. Jesus didn't incite that incident,..but his words certainly unchained the feelings,..which until then had been restrained..in the people's hearts... they simply were blind... but did they chose to see...? or did they follow the blinded..by greed the priests...in their materialism..

there comes the moment..in each one’s life,
when one must find hard words,..when one must pronounce himself clearly,..with all severity,..yet not kill..or interfere with a per-suns free will in order to be true to himself and true to God. Jesus knew the risk,..but he was not afraid... for our fathers house is one..[undivided].. How could he have disregarded what was happening before his eyes? No, he did the correct thing, but he had to suffer the consequences. No, they did not put him into jail. No, they did not do anything, for the moment. There was no pretext under which it would have been possible to arrest him. He had not uttered anything but the truth. He had not participated in the riot. We could leave the Temple area..without problems. Yes, that incident also contributed..to my decision of betraying him. [this by judas]In fact, I loved him very much. But for me, he didn't behave correctly. Jesus had power,..I had seen it,..a lot of power! He could mobilize people,..he had all the potential of changing things,..*but he didn't do it. Then,..what I did was to force him into a situation, where he had to demonstrate his power,..putting an end to the supreme priest's henchmen, to show his antagonism openly to the Temple hierarchy and to launch a rebellion. Yes, these are political, revolutionary ideas, but politics and religion then were one and the same thing, there was not separation between them, that is a modern idea. I failed,..I didn't understand him. And you know the rest of the story. now the ursorers own 90 percent of it all buy silver gold..with paper...manufacture credit from a computer entry think they dont need god..nor his creation indeed seek to kill it all..need fear..need eternal war allways needy..needing ever more...treating god within..like a slave not the honourable mercyfull living loving host within..us all he allways is Posted by one under god, Thursday, 30 December 2010 1:46:37 PM

Jesus:
It is always a temptation..for the mind to seek to have an understanding..of its relationship to God. It wants tangible..[material]..external evidence and symbols to represent..that relationship that is a purely inner-spiritual one. I represented..to my disciples that good of God's will, that they become at one..*with Him..in Love. But they could see my Love...was his love..reflected..back to them. They could see Its demonstration..*in our lives..together. They could have faith..in the power of this Love.. as it demonstrated Itself through my hands../.yet via their hearts. It was not until I left..that they..had to realize the power was in their own hands..through..his Love..that they prayed for, through...their hearts-desire..to do for the good/deed..of God's Will. I want you to realize how important it is to realize your relationship with God. He Loves you. and..He Loves you... And it is..through your hands..that His Love comes. Do not look to the material for the assurance that you have this relationship...Look to your hearts and feel the Love..in your heart reaching out to your brothers and sisters...who need that Love....not by lips..or words..but works.. you..and Your Father..*are one, and His Love..is manifest through you to these brothers and sisters..who are all..God's children. We are all God's children...We are all beloved..by God. Is it not the greatest gift..we have..to share – this Love..that God has shown us? Would it not bring us the greatest joy to touch someone in the greatest Love that we have, that is..with the Divine Love..that we have been shown? Sometimes we ask ourselves..if we are good enough, if we are worthy..of this tremendous Love,..this Gift that we recognize..in this Life..good of God has offered to us. If you could only imagine yourself..as God sees you, the beautiful soul that you are,..the beautiful child that He sees before you..within/without..you..that He loves..with all His Heart, it would put to shame any jewel,..any treasure that you might find..here on earth. It would put to shame..any monument that has ever been built by man. You are the most beautiful creation..of our Heavenly Father. There is only one of you. You are precious, you are rare Posted by one under god, Thursday, 30 December 2010 1:50:38 PM

1) And He said, "Whoever finds
the interpretation of these sayings..will not experience death." 80) Jesus said, "He who has recognized the world has found the body, but he who has found the body is superior to the world." 81) Jesus said, "Let him who has grown rich be king, and let him who possesses power renounce it." the Son of Man has no place to lay his head and rest." 87) Jesus said, "Wretched is the body that is dependant upon a body, and wretched is the soul that is dependent on these two." 88) Jesus said, "The angels and the prophets will come to you and give you those things you (already) have. 2) Jesus said, "Let him who seeks continue seeking until he finds. When he finds, he will become troubled. When he becomes troubled, he will be astonished, and he will rule over the All." "Let him who seeks..not cease until he finds, and when he finds..he shall wonder; by wondering..he shall reign, and by reigning justly.. shall rest....his other body... br-..*other life spirit... and the karmic body...of all souls that reach the atonement...[at one meant]" 3/b..the Kingdom is inside of you, and it is outside of you.

and nothing covered will remain
without being..uncovered." Jesus said, "Blessed is the lion which becomes man when consumed by man; and cursed is the man whom the lion consumes, and the lion remains lion..never man." Jesus said: "Unless you fast [control the glorying of/by] to the worldly material-istic temptations, you shall in no way find the Kingdom of God; and unless you sabbatize the Sabbath,..equally for all no exceptions [god needs his rest..too and who is not god?] you shall not see..the Father..the one i am. for that you do..to the least...you do to him" that you did for the least you did..for him my soul grieved over the souls of men, because they are blind..[deaf]..in their heart and see not. There is light within a man of light,not the light..but radiating his light from it and he..(or "it")..lights up the whole materialistic world universal uni-verse. If he (or "it") does not shine,..from within he (or "it") is creating the veil.. that suspends lights..revealings creating thus..darkness....[in its manyfold vairiations]" Jesus said,.."Love your brother like your soul, guard him..like the pupil of your eye." he is a mirror of..[me]...we as one Jesus said, "You see the mote in your brothers eye, but you do not see the beam in your own eye. When you cast the beam out of your own eye, then you will see clearly to cast the mote from your brother's eye." 27) <Jesus said,> "If you do not fast as regards the world, you will not find the Kingdom. If you do not observe the Sabbath as a Sabbath,[all of you].. you will not see the Father." 28) Jesus said, "I took my place in the midst of the world, and I appeared to them in the flesh. I found all of them intoxicated; I found none of them thirsty. And My soul became afflicted for the sons of men, because they are blind in their hearts and do not have sight; for empty they came into the world, and empty too they seek to leave the world.

When..they shake off..their wine, then..they will...to repent." Jesus said,.. "If the flesh..came into being..because of spirit,..it is a wonder. But if spirit..came into being..because of the body,..it is a wonder..of wonders. Indeed,..I am amazed..at how this great wealth..has made its home in..this materilistic-realm.. yet..so filled..with spiritual-poverty." Jesus said:.."Where there are..[two, they are..not]..without God, and when there is one..alone, [I say,]..I am with him. Raise/the stone,..and there you will find me; cleave/the wood,..and there I am." When you make..the two one, and when you/make the inside..like the outside and the outside..like the inside, and the above..like the below you shall know no-one..lights a lamp and puts it under a bushel, nor does he put it..in a hidden-place, but rather..he sets it on a lampstand so that everyone who enters and leaves will see its light." [know it..by its workings/deed/good fruits...light] Jesus said, "If a blind man leads a blind man, they will/both..fall into a pit." [will you see]..the Sun..[light]..of the Living One,..and you will not be afraid" Many times have you desired..to hear these words which I am saying to you,..and you have no one else..to hear them from. There will be days when you look for Me..[i am]..and will not find..Me." "The Pharisees..and the scribes have taken the keys of Knowledge..of self and cause of self..and hidden them. They themselves have not entered, nor have they allowed to enter those who wish to. You,however,..be as wise as serpents and as innocent..as doves." For you are from it's materialism, and to it..[of spirit]..you will return." Jesus said, "If they say to you,..'Where did you come from?', say to them,..'We came from the light,love..logic..ot the living truth the place..where the light came into being on its own accord and established..[itself]..and became manifest through their image.' If they say to you,..'Is it you?', say,..'We are its children,..you are his child we are the elect..of the Living-Father.'

I was given..some of the things of my Father." as have you..~given your own lifes gifts..of him Therefore I say,..if he is..<undivided>, he will be filled with light,..but if he is divided, he will be filled with darkness." 62)Jesus said, "It is to those..[who are worthy of our fathers]..mysteries that tell..of his mysteries...that they be seen clearly..by all..

what binds you...
but you? You all have this common bond in Love to one another. You all need love...You need to give love....be the love...feel the love...do love.. And as for the diversity of the races..that you see on this planet, you must realize that the soul..is as diverse..[unique]..from another soul..as are the grains of sand..and the stars in heaven...or the order's of words..from gods messangers You need to recognize.. in one another.. this humanity..[gods reflections]..that elevates you to the status..of being the greatest of gods creations..on this earth. We are one in the spirit.. of this Love...We are one family. I want to say..that I am indebted to our Heavenly Father for having rebestowed..the Gift of His Love... He did not offer it..just to me; He offered it..to all of His children. At the time that God rebestowed this Love, there were among those spirits..who were awaiting..this Good News, our first parents – your first parents..who were offered this Gift..upon their creation. They had many years to wait..to finally accept this great Gift..that they had denied. But if you can imagine,..just for a moment,..what their joy and their gratitude were.. if only for that day. Try to realise..that our Heavenly Father.. will wait for an eternity to Love..every single one of His children. His Love has been in the world..all these years. He has not failed to answer one prayer,..not one. that was prayed..for good reason..to the betterment..[for everyone] There have been many,..many souls who have recognized their relationship to God. But my brothers and sisters,..do you not always feel, feel this Love..[his]..in your own life; just to the small amount that you may be able to open your souls..to how great,..how powerful and strong..his Love is for you? As our brother has to do sometimes,..and close the door – it's so great. God is with you,..will always be with you...The truth is here;..it lives in your heart. There are many [who know of their immortality] I will say..that if with your heart,..you ask God to speak to you, you will hear His answer..with your heart Posted by one under god, Friday, 31 December 2010 2:37:50 PM

God never fails..to answer our heart's questions.
But sometimes we fail ourselves..to trust..the answer. We may believe that what we decide is not right, because as you receive your answer,..you must activate, put into motion,..and effect,..what it is your heart is telling you. Do not cut off His voice..from your hands,... Make your hands say..what your heart..has heard. Make your voice[hands]..speak.. what your heart has heard. God Loves your hands,..He Loves your voice,..He Loves your eyes. Let Him Love you that way...Love yourself..as His good-instrument.... revealing the unseen.. by deed..able to be seen..and felt..known.. and recognised..for what is its true cause..[good of god] And even though you may not understand..or believe..in the reasoning..of things, ..if God's Love has spoken,..have faith..in that Love, have faith that you have moved..in Love. As we became fishers of men,..we picked up our hands, and we asked God,..what do we do with these hands..that only know how to fish? Let Love show you.. what to do with your hands. all creation..every breath breed..herd plant or men,..women..sinmple souls..or human souls, are ALL..living thoughts of the Father,..EACH..gifted with countless attributes..and liberties,..like the free will..love nurture..lofic..luife..and man’s own capacity of reasoning...the cause behind it all God’s pure thought..is still ever present... in each live time/..living moment..[now] I will give you an example. You read that scientists detected a background radiation,..which astronomy interprets as a feeble remainder..of the radiation produced at the moment of the “Big Bang”. In other words,..this radiation is like a footprint left behind in the moment of our universe’s creation, and it allows us..to follow back the development until the very moment..of the movement..of creation. Something similar happens with us. Our souls possess this “background radiation”,..in form of a minimum awareness,..which is very weak..and may be covered/forgot/destroyed quite easily... Part of this awareness is that God does exist,..that God loves us,..also the knowledge of good and evil, in short,..it is a trace..which allows us,provided we pay attention to it,..to find a straight and safe way..to our destiny:..At-one-ment..with God....at one meant..with love grace/mercy..life This “background radiation”..forms part of what scientists call..the subconscious mind Posted by one under god, Friday, 31 December 2010 2:41:42 PM

But the situation..becomes complicated
when we consider that there are..other influences which act upon..our subconscious mind. Those are the ideas and the guidance of spirits. And they,..too, form part of..our so-called inner voice. It those ideas..and this guidance that comes from Celestial spirits or from higher spirits..of the spiritual realm..and they are in complete harmony..with God’s original thought....or when destructive..only reacting..with your current will there is the possibility..that dark spirits..convey their thoughts, and then some conflict will arise.... [but only because your own thoughts.. WERNT..in conflict with theirs..[to begin with]... see you let the thief..into your mind.. by thinking vile thought..FIRST..you invited more to come in.. In other words,..there may be a conflict in the subconscious mind..itself. And to this potential conflict,..the conflict between the material mind..and the subconscious mind..adds futher confusion. Someday we will analyze..exactly what..the material mind is... is not..what the spirit mind is... but yet it attracts..other spiritual minds..to it As always,..we come back to..the same subject. From what I have put forth previously,..we can conclude that listening to their inner voice..does not constitute a priori ..a reliable guidance for men,..due to the possible..negative spirit influence. So it is necessary..to tune in to a reliable source..for guidance and information... that is ever willing to sort the good thoughts...of god... from those..not of good.. and feeling god...feels good.. but if hurtfull..TO ANYONE-else..cannot be..of god.. it begins with..seeing no evil fearing no evil...where god is..no vile can be then loving neighbour loving..his creation..as he loves us his created see not the speck..in your others eye look into his eye..and see..only your other self see god of god..within us all use every artifice..of human ingenuity to be the love..live the love...do only that done..of love one instrument is,..of course,prayer....after loving works Besides the many benefits..prayer brings to us,.. it also elevates our spirituality...pure prayer[unselfish/prayer]..[block's..negative thinking..that feeds negative act-ions] To raise the best of living..loving..spirituality..as the best means..to block the access...where vile thought begets vile works before spirits of little or negative spirituality latch onto..then*..into..our astral-soul, and prayer..to the good helps..to open up..the access for bright/living/loving..good..spirits...

[its almost like..he was here... because he is here..in us all..now lol..all the time]...[and for all time and via the filtering out of that not of good even understood,..when we obtained God’s living love made into Substance,..[life sustained by his light/logic] then but clothed it..into this materialised form.. his whisper..became a clear thought,..that sustained us..to be... to be..the very fruit..of his thought...to now bear..the fruits..of our own thought for our soul’s mind..moves toward..with,and with-in.. the origonal thoughts of..the Father.

And besides,..as the word..ego is allowed to be mentioned, take note..that we will soon analyze..more thoroughly.. the question of individuality. Today’s message has-been very difficult, but you received it well...god made heaven.. but we..made hell god is the light its we..who create darkness we can simple know the light..by letting it reveal or we can dwell..in the darkness...when we seek to conceal; It is always a pleasure to answer the questions and heal..the doubts of my sisters..and brothers on earth. to say that ability... to be forming..a question..as well as form is the fundamental-object..of soul/development... it is often...more important than the answer.. an answer is easy... forming a question..is the key all questions ever asked..shall be answerd.. but what of those questions..no one thought..to ask? First,..try to achieve harmony..in your “subconscious”, tuning into..the all being..[after affect]..resonating with eternaly adequate..sources/causes/potentiality/possability and probability. Luke wrote these..wise words: “While the personal Satan..does not exist, yet the idea conveyed by..the necessity of binding him in order to bring about..this millennium of love and truth..is a true one,.. and applies..to the actual relationship..of the manyfold..thoughts..of mankind...realised into being Posted by one under god, Saturday, 1 January 2011 3:35:42 PM

Soul development begins with raising spirituality/and awareness.
to seek question..and frame questioning..to ask and to get.. The most efficient way is by obtaining the Father’s Love, His own Substance....as truth..revealing grace/mercy/love “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and all these things..shall be added unto you.” mortal and spirit alike. I realize that as you leave here and you go back to the place that you have called home, you're taking Love home within you..with you. Home is where our heart is. We choose with our hearts..wherever we are. We make our home here..for reasons we're not always aware of, why we live..how/when/where we live,..and why we do the works we chose what we do. But our hearts are involved..because we are souls that are seeking to know ourselves. to these evil spirits,..except this,..that in the case of the latter it is not necessary..or even possible..to bind them,..but alone..to loosen them/set them free -that is to loosen their rapport with..or influence over men, for when that is done,..men become,..as it were,..free, and these evil spirits are..as if..they were not.” To do this, you have to pray. Then,..you must try to resolve the conflict..between the material mind and the soul’s mind..together with..your good/loving/living..inner voice Do you see the soul..in other people? Is there someone you recognize..in your life that helps you rekindle that knowledge..of who you are as a soul? it may well be the one we despise..the most we often hate that in others we hate within ourselves.. love is the most powerfull force its well worth trying love first what do you have to loose its your choice..your voice...you hold your heart's wor-kings..in your hands remember gods throne...is our heart heck..it will never fit on a card this continues on from here http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?discussion=4174&page=0 began here http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?discussion=4008&page=0 or here http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?article=11008&page=0 went to here http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?discussion=4092&page=0 for..the time of good-works..draws near.. so thats all folks we can do it better not alone..next year..but now.. next..top-lopping?

*CAUTION*
graphic adult content mens business oh dear..horror of horrors http://www.google.com/search?client=gmail&rls=gm&q=circumsision%20protocol%20ritual%20methodoligy Deuteronomy 10:16 says:.."Circumcise the foreskin of your heart," suggesting that ethical acts..(among people)..are as important as materialistic rituals...called lol..spiritual acts..(between people and God). as if god got it wrong [but it looks so pretty]..quiet mum..this is mans business The prophetic tradition..[that looks spelled wrong]..pathetic? emphasizes that God..expects people to be good as well as pious, and that non-Jews..will be judged based on their ethical behavior. ie not by their being chopped/lopped or topped.. Thus,..Jeremiah 9:25-26 says..that circumcised and uncircumcised will be punished..alike by the Lord;..for "all the nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel..are uncircumcised..*in heart." anyhow it seems...the tree must bleed...its sap how this applies to the heart... is that of love without fruit..[works] Hatafat dam brit Medical circumcision alone,..in the absence of the brit milah ceremony, does not fulfill the requirements of the mitzvah. In the case of a Jew who was circumcised..outside*..of a brit milah, or an already-circumcised convert,..the mohel draws a symbolic drop of blood from the penis...[ooops tree]... Hatafat dam brit..(heb. דם ברית "Drop of the blood.. [sap..of the]..Covenant")..refers to the fulfillment of the mitzvah..of a brit milah... ok sap it is lop the tree are there any special prayers? Blood A brit milah is not considered complete unless blood..[sap from the tree]..is actually drawn. This is not...the intentional spilling of blood.. OOPS...the lopper's izmel...slipped...[at least it wernt in-tent-ional The standard medical methods of circumcision through constriction..do not meet the requirements of the halakhah for brit milah,..because they cause hemostasis,..i.e.,..they stop the flow of blood. A brit milah,..to be conducted properly, requires the use of a specialized surgical knife, called an izmel,..which does allow for..dam brit... Unlike the traditional Jewish method,..when circumcision is performed by a urologist..or other surgeon,..the foreskin..is removed by.constriction,..either with the use of clamps..or a synthetic ring. This non-Jewish method works by crushing..the skin..until it is severed. The nerve endings..NOTE*..and the blood vessels are severed..in the same manner,..causing pain..and hemostasis.. oh dear..this needs..be..in..two-parts?

no thats it..!
if you need to know more http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brit_milah im over it.. [un-mentioned..is the rush of adrenolin.. that causes eternal wars ..lol..over land... does not all land..*belong to god.. is not all land..wholy gods?... the Israelites born in the wilderness.. after the Exodus from Egypt were not circumcised... Joshua 5:2-9,..explains,.. "all the people that came-out"..of Egypt..were circumcised,.. but those.."born in the wilderness"..were not... it should be noted..ONLY THE UN-lopped.. emerged from the deserts.. those who had the rite.. never*..left the desert surely..in this..is a sign..for a thinking...'man'. ok the tree gets it...

i seem to recall...egypt..had a blood ritual
[or maybe it was the aztex].. regardless i recall some piercing of the royal tree..[ok penus]... and that the lords/kings/rulers blood..was sacred... i have searched for a referance..but fail to find it http://books.google.com/books?id=EEQlVC_clo8C&pg=PA847&lpg=PA847&dq=egypt+blood+shed+ritual&source=bl&ots=sOiLd1P99a&sig=qAxfK0_sb4aMlsd3PcznyYGueD0&hl=en&ei=twUfTYW9HdPzcYrXyPEP&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=8&ved=0CC4Q6AEwBw#v=onepage&q=egypt%20blood%20shed%20ritual&f=false anyhow..its revealing..that the bringer of the 10 commands [ok more like 16...but note that mosus...stopped the blood ashedding ritual...the whole 40 years they were in the desert and it was only...those of the tribe levi[the priesthoods]..that initiated it...again*.. JUST BEFORE..they enterd palistein.. [after they left mosus in the desert] no doudt the semites..decended of abraham..cobntinued the rite and as slaves entering into the 'promised land'..took the mark...of the master [apparently slaves got to lop the top off to become slaves..to those circumsized...at the REQUIRED...7/8th day depending on how you measure a day...

and in which..my now ritualised tree..stands
we shall next..adorn the tree so every day we add a bauble... each..to symolise..the christ-childs..teachings tomorrow i will add..the deer [its johans family totum/trust] it keeps the deer boy happy...and his service flowing the sap has stopped flowing...[in itself the first miracle]..as the tree is plastic and since we have to continue with the work, I will go ahead and write to you..a number of these dealing..with my early life. Now, the first thing I wish to tell you about is the Star of Bethlehem, which in reality was not a star at all but an exploding nova,..or supernova,..which caused considerable light..in the eastern skies..over Tyre and Babylonia..but not in palistein; and the three Wise Men who saw this exploding supernova..in the heavens, being astrologers with a knowledge of an ancient Chaldean astrological lore,..determined that a great event..was to take place as a result of the appearance..of the great light..in the heavens. And in their readings of the Hebrew writings with which they were familiar,..and also with Hebrew circles in Assyria, they determined upon a visit to Judea where..it was predicted that a Messiah of the Hebrews..and for all mankind was to be born. This seemed to them all the more true..since the light seemed to point..in a westerly direction..and they set out for Jerusalem,..the capital of Judea,..rather than Israel or Galilee. And it was a long time..before they reached Jerusalem owing to the preparations for the trip and the actual trip across the Arabian desert; and the light..was no longer with them,..having disappeared,..having been seen in the eastern skies for several weeks..and caused great excitement..and anxiety in the land. They purchased gifts of myrrh and frankincense..in addition to a small amount of gold while on their way across the desert in one of the Arabian cities,.. for the three Wise Men felt that since they did not know exactly what to offer..a Hebrew Messiah,..to offer something that the Arabians,..whom they felt were closer to..in kinship..than to the Hebrews, I would favor,..and for this reason.. ...continues Posted by one under god, Saturday, 1 January 2011 9:42:00 PM

the gifts that the three Wise Men..offered to me at my birth..were not particularly of a Hebrew character..in the way of gifts..to newborn infants,..nor were they especially..Persian or Chaldean,..but Arabian.
When the Wise Men entered Jerusalem, they went first to the Temple..and inquired about the birth of "the Hebrew Messiah for all mankind,".. one who would be "King of the hebrews." And the high priests sent the three astrologers to Herod, for they feared any mention of a "King of the Jews" was political in nature and might be offensive to Herod, with whom they were allied for the maintenance of the status quo in Jerusalem. Herod took alarm and his queries as to the date of the so-called "Star of Bethlehem" were made in order to determine the ages of the Hebrew children of Bethlehem that he would have put to the sword to eliminate any chance of the appearance of this Messiah from the prophecies. The three Wise Men were able to make their way to Bethlehem to pay their respects to me at my birth,..but the appearance of them was due to an event that had taken place in the eastern heavens two years before. At the time of my birth,..which was shortly after midnight of January 7,..there was no star..of great light that guided the three men to Bethlehem..nor did the shepherds who were watching their sheep..see anything unusual, neither did they see any angels to announce the birth of a Messiah,..for there was no Messiah until I had obtained that sufficiency..of the Divine Love in my soul..that enabled me to have knowledge..of my/our joint immortality Fixing dates:is a worry In.."Revelation 33: The star of Bethlehem..and the Three Wise Men", Jesus states: "At the time of my birth,..which was shortly after midnight of January 7,..there was no star of great light ..." So,..he was born on January 7th..(because the Jews counted a new day starting with the sunset)..or on January 8th..(after January 7th,..less probable)...but hey who knows...right this..is only a practice-run for next yea Posted by one under god, Saturday, 1 January 2011 9:48:39 PM

christmas...is everyday
that the spirit..[within us... within..Jesus]..gets reborn..Reborn in Us but today..it was happylly/lopping-day [that traditionally get followed by..letting go day worry about the things....before change comes..not after].. ie..let it go thus it was so there is..in the news...today..about good-ridance.day and this was the thought..as i held..and beheld..the chopped off..'bit'..in my hand now if it were..a true four-skin..it could be made into interferon..or some other perfume..or cosmetic type/thing..old men..and young woman..smear on their faces..to keep the wrinkle-demons at bay..[citation needed].. but here was i..with a top-off/lop-off..piece in my hand..and thought..what would issa do so i put it..in a pot..that has no other use i stood it..amoung twelve stones..to support the branch...lopped/top but its butt..was too short..to reach..the twelve stones no worries..i did a quick extension..on the base of it.. using some hose..and an appropriate..usefull length was obtained..and the lopped-top..instaled into..the pot of course in the end...many more stones were needed the loose pine-needles...formed a base...[so the rocks didnt bust the top-pot] if it were a real tree..and real needles.. [not just saw-dust]..it would smell..*sweet so now..i have two trees [ok i noted..in letting go..the branches that the lopped top...allready..had got the lop...long ago [but i shed blood..in clamping the hose off-cut..to the lopped top... so appropriat sheeding..of sap was done...by the real sap...writing this ccc-[xmas]-rap of course...how to put it..into card-form well..thats not my task also the timming..of lop-off day..[or top-potting day] and good ridance day...followed by..the lopping off..the tip..day well their reality..for the rest of you that is..still..too far away so for now..lets hear from our brother who like me..was inspired..by the course in miracles channeled by jesus..not so long ago...revealing miracles are simply an order of..degree..not diffi-cult-ty.. acim..is of course difficult..for many to concieve at this materialistic stage..of huh-man being but in time..it will become real and then the veil betwixt..heaven..and earth..shall fail of course while we seek joinder..to the heavens others still seek..to realise hell on earth Posted by one under god, Sunday, 2 January 2011 3:47:45 PM

so keep love..working..in your heart
and..express it..with your hands all shall turn out..well filter that you read/..do..via loves-filter turn junk..into jewels...or fertiliser..into magnificent blooms this.next is..by Allen Watson Christmas is the time,..traditionally,.. when we remember..the birth of Jesus Historically,..that event was significant..because it was the entrance..into our world..of a man..[born of woman].who remembered his identity..as the Christ,..and brought..the light of that awareness...back IN-to..all of the world. [a reminder..of that we all are].. he said..that ye see me do ye shall*..do greater That is certainly an event..worthy of some celebration..and remembrance. In..A_Course_in_Miracles,..Jesus speaks..of his birth in another way..as well...He speaks of being reborn..*in us. Perhaps,..this next Christmas,..we can remember not only to celebrate..his birth 2011 years ago,.. but to seek for,..and celebrate,..his birth..with/*in..us..today. Learning..the Way..Out of Pain My resurrection..comes again..each time I lead an other..safely to the place..at which the material-journey..ends and its pains..angst..hurt..is forgot. I am renewed..each time an..other learns..there is a way..from misery and pain..(W-pI.rV.in.7:1-2). What does it mean..to have*..Jesus-spirit..to be re-born in us? It means allowing him...by works..to allow us to do..*our good works..to lead us all..out of our materialistic..misery..and..material_isms..*pain. no more sepperation He says..*he is.."renewed"..each_time.. any-one of us..*allows him..to lead us..out of..our earthy pain. This Christmas..give the Holy_Spirit..everything that would hurt you...Let..yourself be healed completely..that you may join with Him..in healing,and let us celebrate..our release together..by releasing everyone..with us..(T-15.XI.3:1-2). Let us,then,..see if there are any spots of pain..in our minds, and consider making..a gift..of them..*to the Holy_Spirit. It's amazing..how stubbornly..we hold on to..old pains. The question is,..are we willing..for our pain..to be gone? Are we willing..to let ourselves..*be healed completely? Or do we still foolishly..cling to our pain,..thinking it is necessary..to prove..*how badly..*someone-else..has hurt us? Pain..is misery;..are we willing..to be free of it? or does..your plan..of revenge...guilt...make you feel..so good? There is a way out of misery..and pain. Let us,..this Christmas,..open our hearts to being shown...this way out of..the endles_cycle Posted by one under god, Sunday, 2 January 2011 3:57:09 PM

thus..releasing everyone_else..along with/us,..and in so doing,
allow christ-spirit..to be reborn..*in us....[heck..why wait..till next year...lets do it..now?] Turning..in-to..the Light..within Us all.. I am reborn each time..a br-other's mind turns to the light..*in him..and looks for me...ie..[he] I am..have forgotten..no-one... Help me now..to lead..you back..to where the journey was begun, to make..another choice..to dwell..in me.. as i dwell..*in thee...be..one..with me..(W-pI.rV.in.7:3-5). Another way..the spirit/..within..is reborn..in us too is when we turn to..the light..*within ourselves,..and look for the Christ-spirit..living..*in us....that we know..dwells in us all.. Each time I quiet my mind..and turn to the light/within,..he is reborn...in me Each time..I remind myself,.."I am..as God created me..to_be"..(W-pI.94) or.."I am..the holy_Sun..[light]..of God [the..only_light]..himself"(W-pI.191), he is reborn...As we..begin to find our way out of pain,..we discover,..in the Course,.. of miracles..an amazing thing: It looks..on us..as the light..of the world! (See Workbook/Lesson 61,..for instance.) In the traditional view..of Christmas,.. Jesus was the light..of the world..the only..light of the world. but we each..*are the same light The Course intends..for every-one..of us to discover that light..with...*in..ourselves, and to shine it..[gods..good/light]..on all the world..around us. There is a light..that this world..cannot give. Yet..*you can give it,..as it..*was given you(T-13.VI.11:1-2). There is a light..in you..the world..can-not perceive. And with your materialistic- eyes..you will not see..this light, for you are blinded..by the 'things/thought/feelings/materialism..of..the world. Yet you have eyes..to see it. It is there..for you to look upon. It was..not..placed..in you..to be kept hidden..from sight..(W-pI.189.1:1-5). We can look upon..that light..in ourselves..look upon..our light within other..we do have the eyes..to see it,..if we choose to see it. Our looking upon,..and seeing, the light of Christ in ourselves.. as well as the perfect..in others..is the way.. we can give birth to..the wholy-Christ..within.. give..it back into..this world. Awakening..to Our Own Grandeur via seeing..the grandeur..in others My birth..in you..is your awakening to grandeur...within us all.. but see..its not..me in you..but..*he..in us all..

Welcome..he..not into a manger,
but into the heart-altar..into holiness, where our whole-i-ness..abides in perfect peace where hos...holiness..abides in perfect peace. My Kingdom is not of this world..because it is him..in you. And you are of your Father...Let us join..in..honoring you, who must remain forever..beyond littleness(T-15.III.9:5-9). Jesus is reborn,..not in a manger, but in the hearts.."altar into THE holiness"..within our own hearts The altar represents that..to which we are devoted, that which we consider..HOLD..deep within..to be sacred. The "altar to holiness,"..then, represents our devotion to holiness,..our dedication to realizing, recognizing, and manifesting the holiness of God in all His creations..including ourselves. Holiness, in its turn,..whol-e-ness..within..means divine innocence, untainted by any shred of sin,..guilt,..or impurity...inside the most vile cup.. When Jesus asks us..to welcome him.."into the altar of holiness," he is asking us to recognize..*the divine innocence..with-in..ourselves. That is where we can be reborn, and take up residence...in him..as he resides in us. Welcoming him..to our altar of holiness means awakening..to our own grandeur..as God's creations. It means being willing..to let go..of all of our guilt. It means that we stop thinking..of ourselves as unworthy..of him..and realize that what we are,..as God created us, we each are needed for the full story of good of god to be revealed..not reviled..if it is wholly worthy..of him,[in sin].. to yet be wholly worthy,..even,..of him...being the dwelling place..of God. What we are,..as aware God's creations, is something grand,..something deserving of great honor... but who deserving the greater honour...him within..or him..who is allways without? who cannot even concieve..how great thou art All through the Course,..the way to the recognition of our own grandeur..is through being willing..*to see that same...grandeur..with/in...all..our sisters and brothers: Thus..do the body's eyes..behold..in one..and other...all whom Heaven cherishes, the angels love..and God created perfect...This is his reality... And in Christ's vision within us all..is his loveliness reflected..in a form..so holy and so beautiful that you could scarce refrain from kneeling at his feet...but who has the glory due...but he within...even you Posted by one under god, Sunday, 2 January 2011 4:54:14 PM

What you are..is.."so holy..and so beautiful..that..if I saw it,
I could scarce refrain..from kneeling..at[your]feet." we_are..all so unique.. That's..an awesome..statement,..isn't it? Yet..that is our reality. That is..*what we all..are. The tradition..of Christmas is often,.., filled..with expressions of awe..that Good..should come to dwell with/..in mankind; exclamations of amazement..and wonder at the incredible significance..of what was in that..tiny child,..lying in a manger....YET..lies..within_us..*all "Joy..to the world!...The Lord..is one!...EVERY-one" "Silent night!..Holy night! Sun..of God,..Love's..pure Light!" "O holy night!..oh the darkness gone..… O night..when Christ..*in us..was born!" I think what Jesus..is suggesting to us in this passage..about his birth.. of an altar..into holiness..is that all of that..awe,..all..of that wonder,..wonder for all.. all..of that breathtaking_glory..that righfully belongs..to thee..*with-in us..all! For we are..the birth-place of..*Christ..within. What traditionally is seen..as having taken shape with-in..that material-baby..in a manger.. is actually taking shape.. within..each and every one of us....all the time.. within gods..ever living/loving..now...moment.. Christ is born..too..in me...Hallelujah! Demonstrating.,.that He Lives..in Us What does it mean..to have Jesus..reborn..in us? Well,..it isn't like..the reincarnation..of some Tibetan-Lama in a young boy..in Seattle..(a story told..in a recent movie); it doesn't mean..that all of us are..(or become),..in some literal sense,..the re-incarnation..of Jesus... Yet in a figurative sense,..that is exactly..what it means: In our lives,..in our thinking,..in our behavior, in our compassion,..in our kindness,..in our forgiveness, and most of all,..in our love,.. we can reproduce..or.."reincarnate"..christ..within. We become..what he was,..a human being.."who remembered..his..*spirit..inheritance..its knowledge" and the need..for its application..into everday living...(T-3.IV.7:3), and..who.."saw the face..of Christ in all..his others..and remembered God" saw god in him... see me see my father..sustaining..the goods..of life..(C-5.2:1). Teach not..that I died..in vain. Teach rather..that I did not die..by demonstrating..that I live..in you..(T-11.VI.7:3-4). christ..is reborn in us..when we remember..*WE ARE..spirit. Jesus is reborn..in us..when we remember..*God lives..in our heart. We remember God..by choosing,to DO..as Jesus chose,to do..good to see..the face of Christ..in all our others. Those words,.."demonstrating..that I live..in you,"..never fail to move me. They awaken..a deep longing...in my heart,.. a longing..that the apparently..ordinary events..and encounters, of my daily life..would become ways..of demonstrating..that he..the ALL/lives..in me...and thee..

oops..doubled post
continued..from previous/post Yet..you will take..his love..and express that hidden..[unseen].. from the minds-eye..[image]..hidden/within..using your hand..and make it seen.. instead of,..the good..being unseen...the unseen becomes seen for you..are like..your father..in the sight..that the mind/sees.. it creates..that..unseen..into that seen..by the will..that say's..be..and is..[see?] see him thus.. not alone..within.. and..not only...without.. but the means..and the way..of things..becoming..being/seen..(W-pI.161.9:1-4). Many years ago,..Charles Sheldon..wrote,..a book of inspiration,..titled,.."What..Would Jesus Do?" It told..of a man..who decided..to ask himself that..deceptively simple question..in every situation..of his life. It seemed..an innocuous decision,..and yet it revolutionized his life. In A Course in Miracles,..Jesus makes..a similar suggestion..to us. He suggests..that we go through our days..asking the Holy Spirit, "What would You..have me do?..Where would..You..have me go? What would You..have me say,..and to whom?"..how?(W-pI.79.9:3-5) We are told..that the Holy-Spirit,..the Voice for Good,..can direct our every step: "Seeing your strengths..exactly as they are, and equally aware..of where/how..they can be best applied, for what,..to whom..and when,..He chooses and accepts..your part..for you".. and you chose the part.. even..can refuse..to play any part..and he loves you still..(W-pI.154.2:2). Jesus tells us..that he is our model..for learning. that learning..is the aim of teaching... the teachers learning..is the teaching.. If we are to demonstrate..that he lives in us,.. we must live..to the good..as he did. be the light..living.. not the darkness obsuring..that good/true.. He says, "I have enjoined you..to the one..within you enjoin you..to behave..[do]..as I behaved..[to do]..,that of the good but we must respond..to the same good..within Mind..and..h-ear-t..to do this This Mind..is the Holy Spirit,.. Whose Will..is for the Good..always...good.."(T-5.II.12:1-2). So the way we learn..to be/have/do..as he behaved/did/does..is to listen to the same Voice,..to decide,that good..as he did, ..to hear only..the good..of the Holy-Spirit... that the good..be done..and seen to be done well If we listen..only to the judgment.. of the un-Holy..Spirit's, we will ever condemn..one another.. or perceive sin..in one...and..another; and this..is not the way of it...is not the truth...[not good] anything not true..is not real.. unless we make it real.. [we give it reality.. to that..we decide to..bring into reality..]..[do] Posted by one under god, Sunday, 2 January 2011 10:02:10 PM

when we..will to see..the face of Christ,..in neighbour
which symbolizes the innocence..of a Sun of Good. It is our forgiveness..of our sisters and brothers that demonstates..that Jesus lives..in us. Just as he..did not perceive attack..even..in those who crucified him, we—if we listen..to the same Voice..Jesus listened to..will see only the innocence, only the call..for love,..in those..who seemingly attack us. Demonstrating that he lives..in us..is but..one way..we can celebrate his birth. by..Becoming the Manifestation of good..of the Holy Spirit You are..His manifestation..in this world. Your FATHER calls to you..to be His Voice..without..along with him..who attends that within. Alone..we cannot be..the Helper of God's Son..for he..alone is functionless. But joined with you..he is the shining Savior..of the world,..Whose part in its redemption you have made complete..(C-6.5:1-4). We honor Jesus..by becoming..like him. The great significance..of the birth of Jesus,..to Christians, is that God..was manifested in the flesh...and the flesh knew it though most..of the flesh..even now..know it not.. a sun of Good..took birth,..and lived among men..as a man...right here on earth.. The Course refers..to Jesus as.."the manifestation..of the Holy Spirit".. but so too is he within us all..( T-12.VII.6:1; C-6.1:1). So,..in a certain sense,..it agrees with Christian tradition; Jesus was the manifestation..of God in this world...but so too are WE ALL.. "Manifestation"..means a form.. in which an image..an unseen idea,..or divine being, that only by doing..is revealed; the American Heritage Dictionary definition includes these very applicable words: "The materialized form..of a spirit." That is exactly what Jesus was, this..is egsactly..what WE ALL ARE.. "the materialized form"..of the Holy Spirit. That is what made his birth..so significant. The Course,..however,tells us,.."You are His..[the Holy Spirit's] manifestation..in this world."..Jesus is..the materialized form..of the Holy Spirit,.. but so are we! That is,..to me,..what it means..to give our body to the fulfillment of the purpose of the Holy Spirit. It means that you..and I can become,..quite literally, the embodiment of God..[good]..in this world,..the expression,.. in material form,..of God's Love... This is not something you..or I can do..alone, however;..it is only possible..as we join..with one/another, in recognition of..that same Christ-spiritus..within us all Posted by one under god, Sunday, 2 January 2011 10:08:05 PM

Dear One under God, happy new year to you.

bless you..suze
long..may you be..on-line your words..help give energy but recall..these arnt my words im typing im only adding bits..to what others..labouriously wrote just joining..the dots..listening to my inner-thought...as i read and re-read..others thoughts..that they too read..and re-read..then writ by rote so here again..is the last of..of but one..of Allen Watson's many writings..inspired by study..of a course in miracles..[link at the end] I..can become the Voice..for Good..for my brother..[and..so he has] as I allow him..to become..the Voice for Good..for me...[as he was..for me] And the light..life/love..WITH-in..them..[us all] will..show you all that you need..to see...[the light with]-in..you. When the peace..in you..has been extended..to encompass everyone, the Holy Spirit's function here..will be accomplished..(T-19.IV.3:4-6). As I behold innocence..in my sister's,.. and the silences of my br-others..as I learn to hear..God's-Voice/speaking..through her..longing to hear..him to tell me..*of thy innocence,..[and them..of theirs].. so too..I will come to recognize..my innocence..and experience..the Holy-Spirit..working..through me..to heal my others. The process of a holy relationship is, at least in part,..a process of learning..into perceiving my relationship partner..as a witness..to my own innocence,.. rather than a bringer..of guilt...blame..shame..or condemnation.. I need..to learn to recognize the Holy Spirit in her,..or in him... see the way to recognize your many..other is by recognizing..the Holy Spirit..in all..(T-5.III.1:1). You cannot see..the Holy-Spirit, but you can see..your brother..truly.as he is.. simply by being..who you are..just as he is sustained..to be him..in him In turn,..I began to realize..that my brother..or sister is calling to me..to be voicing..God's/good Voice..for him..or for her...for now. The pain,..the guilt,..the attack,.the anger..and the fear that I perceive..in those around me..is calling out..to God's Voice..in me,..to work quickly..[thus..the many errors in typing..and..cutting/pasting/trimming/lopping and chopping] calling out..to hear the words..of divine Love.. I have heard in me..as was in he..speaking to me.. to speak...to be heard?..to be voiced? As I open..to the possibility..that I/we..really am/are..here.. to save the world,..with word..to be a savior..*from guilt/fear/blame/shame....to those..around us, I come..*to know myself.. as what I am:..only..huh?-man.. being..the Love of God good..in materialized form. And thus is..Christ born again..in me...and thee Posted by one under god, Monday, 3 January 2011 4:04:53 PM

What does it mean
to have Jesus..reborn in us? It means that: •..we allow him..to show us the way..out of our misery and pain;..via active fliltering all through loves filter..[rose coloured glasses if you will] •..we begin..to learn..to turn to the love/light..within us,all and seek his face;..outside myself..feel his light within you.. •..we open ourselves to awaken to the grandeur..of the Christus-spiritus..within us all; •..we begin to demonstrate..that christos/spiritus..lives..within us all; •..and we become,..like him, the manifestation..of the WHoly Spiritus...brings spirtus/logus..good/logic reason back..into this world....that we allready had hidden..deep within.. As this Christmas season approaches, then,..let every carol,..[sing]..and remember this in every manger scene,..every Christmas card,..in every xmass greeting and every time..we hear someone say,.."Merry Christmas," be to us..a reminder of the Christus/with-in..who is daily being..reborn..in us all. Let each such occurrence,..no matter how trite..it may appear, no matter how insincerely offered,..remind us to turn to the light within us..and look for christus...outside....as well as within.. Let our walk through the shopping mall/park..beach or the for-rest let every act..become a prolonged..holy instant...ever gods now.. Let each string of lights..on houses we drive/walk or stumble by speak of the light..within us...all. Let all of Christmas..be a constant reminder: "He has come!..He lives in me!"...just as he lives/loves/is..in thee want more.. unedited..? till now i have filled..in the blanks but there is much more to learn..from the paths./.others have walked before us..the true joy..is seeing...a place to plant thy own flower or..pull thy own weeds..or plant..thy own seeds the harvest..is heavey the workers are few http://www.circleofa.org/indices/god.php What Is the Christmas Story For? by Greg Mackie In this article,..I want to compare the original Gospel writers'..purpose for writing what became our Christmas story..with the reinterpretation of that story's imagery in A Course in Miracles. As we will see, the author of the Course— who,..of course,..claims to be Jesus himself [not quite right greg]...mary channeld..jesus dictated it she had great difficulty..in accepting the whole course that it even got written...is a miracle.. but back to your quote..[from previous link] jesus speaking in acim..—has a radically different view of what..the luke/mathew xmass story..is for Posted by one under god, Monday, 3 January 2011 4:12:01 PM

While the Gospel/writers..wrote it..to exalt Jesus,
the Jesus..of the Course..uses it..to exalt everyone. so..like/him.. He transforms..this beloved story..from a celebration of the birth..of Jesus_Christ..into a celebration.. of the birth..of Christ..in..all of us the fundamental purpose..of what became our Christmas story..was..to exalt Jesus. Scholars have suggested..a number of ways..in which the various elements..of the birth_narratives..were used..to serve this purpose. edited http://www.circleofa.org/articles/WhatIsTheChristmasStory.php Jesus' purpose..in a_course_in_miracles..[acim].. is for..*our Christmas/story:..to exalt..*everyone Jesus,..as he does..with so many things..in the Course, turns..the traditional Christian view..of him..on its head. While traditional Christianity..regards Jesus..with the awe befitting a superior-being,..*he says..in the Course..that this attitude toward him..is profoundly mistaken: Equals*..should not be in awe..of one another.. because awe..implies inequality. "It is therefore an inappropriate..reaction to me...." "There is nothing about me.. that you..cannot attain."(T-1.II.3:5-6,10) The affirmation..that..we_are_*all equals..with Jesus..is a huge theme..in the Course. One way Jesus..expresses this theme..is to take..a biblical quote that was..originally..about him,..and apply it..*to us... For instance,..he adapts..the biblical words.. that acclaimed him..the_Son..of God..at his baptism..to say..IT..to us, "You..are [God's]..beloved Son.. in whom..He is well pleased"(T-4.I.8:6) He redirects..the self-exalting words..attributed..*to him in the Gospel..of John.. to say to us,.."You*..are the way, the truth..and the life"..(T-7.III.1:9). And he plays off of..the biblical confession..of Peter that Jesus was.."the Christ,..the_Son/of..the living God" to say to us.. (in the third person),.."Is..[Jesus]..*the Christ? O yes,..along with ALL..of you"(C-5.5:1). It should come..as no surprise,..then,..that Jesus does the same thing...with the birth_narratives..in Matthew..and Luke. He shares the evangelists'..lack of concern..about the historicity of those..narratives..he never renders..a historical verdict..on them..in the Course— but..does_not share..the evangelists'..purpose..*for them. As he does..in so many..of his biblical/references, he uses..the imagery..of our traditional Christmas/story not to proclaim..a message..about who*..he is,.. but about..*who..we-all*..of us..are,..[including him.] Let's look at..some examples of this..from the Course. The following passages..demonstrate..how Jesus has shifted the purpose..of Christmas-story/imagery.. from exalting him..to exalting..all of us. Each "From...to"..pairing in the points below..expresses this shift. As you read..these passages,..I encourage you to actually apply them..to yourself,..even inserting your name..at various points, to capture..the sense of*..majesty..and grandeur that Jesus..*is trying..to awaken*..in all*..of us.

From..the celebration..of Jesus'..physical birth
to the celebration..of our..spiritual_birth. This is the season..when you would celebrate..my birth..into the world...Yet you know not..how to do it...Let the Holy_Spirit teach you,..and let me celebrate..your birth..*through Him. The only gift..I can accept of you is the gift..I gave to you...Release me..as I choose..your own release.(T-15.X.1:5-9)..[thats deep].. The original story,..of course, is all about..the birth..of Jesus. That's what we celebrate..during the Christmas season. But..in this passage,..Jesus turns this..completely around: for him,..the Christmas-season..is a time..in which he celebrates..*our birth— the birth..of Christ..*in us. All he asks..is that we do our part..to bring..*that birth about, by giving him..and..all of our brothers..the same-gift..of freedom. I see another parallel..with the Christmas/story..here. In the original story,..the wise men..gave Jesus gifts. Here,..we are als.. to give him..*a gift,[us] but once again..Jesus turns it completely around, for in this case,..it is a gift..that he has..already..given to us. From the manger..in a stable to the holy_altar..*within us all. My birth in you..is your awakening to the grandeur...we all*..are. Welcome me not..into a manger,..but into the altar to holiness,[heart].. where holiness abides..in perfect peace. My Kingdom is not..of this world..because it is..*in you. And you are..in/of your Father....as he is..with-in you. Let us join..in honoring you, who must remain forever..beyond littleness.(T-15.III.9:5-9) In the original story,..Jesus is born..in a manger. Here,..he is born..in the altar of holiness..within us. This inner*birth..opens our minds..to the indescribable holiness and grandeur..of our true*Self...within. Again,..we see a dramatic reversal: Christmas is normally a time..in which..we honor Jesus, but here..Jesus wants to honor us... We are eminently worthy of such honor, for we are..the Suns of Good..in which..the King..of Heaven abides. What is true of Jesus is also true..of us. From the newborn Jesus..in Bethlehem to the newborn Christ..in*all*..our holy relationship Behold this infant,..to whom you gave..a resting place by your forgiveness..of your br-other,.. and see..in it..the Will of God. Herein..is the babe of Bethlehem..reborn.(T-19.IV(C).10:7-8 Posted by one under god, Monday, 3 January 2011 5:12:29 PM

In..the original/story,..the baby..Jesus is born..in Bethlehem.
Here,..the "babe"..is the Christ..born..within a holy inclusive..relationship...with god. He is no longer..an individual/infant..in..a distant land..from long ago,..but is instead..*a living-presence..who enters any relationship..in which we forgive..a brother/sister..other..and join with him..in a truly common_goal. This presence..gives the relationship..the goal..of holiness and immediately begins..shepherding it..towards..its lofty/goal. This presence..is "the babe/of Bethlehem..*reborn." From the proclamation..of God's glory to the proclamation..of our glory Glory to God..in the highest,..and to you..because He..*has so willed it. Ask..and it shall be given you,..because..*it has already been..given. Ask for light..and..learn..that you are..the/light.(T-8.III.1:1-3) In the original-story,.."Glory to God..in the highest" is the angelic choir's..hymn of praise..to God..for the precious gift..of Jesus. Here,..the glory..*of God..is still proclaimed, but..with a significant_addition:.. our glory..is proclaimed..as well. And just/as Jesus..is the light..of the world,..so are we; all we need do..is ask God..to reveal to us..the light*..that He created us..to*be. From the star..of Bethlehem to the light..of Heaven..within*..us ALL*.. The sign of Christmas..is a star,..a light..in darkness. See it..not*..outside..yourself,.. but shining..in the Heavenly -host..*within, and accept it..as..*the sign..the time of Christ..has come.(T-15.XI.2:1) In..the original story,..the star/of Bethlehem is the light*..that leads the wise-men..to the place..where Jesus was born. Here,it is not*..an external_star..at all, but..the light/of Heaven..at the heart..of our being...at one..[at-one-ment]..with the only..1 As..we accept..t-his_inner_light, the Christ..in*us..is born..*again. From the angels..witnessing..the birth of Jesus to the angels..witnessing..the birth of Christ..in*us..all* glory/glory..glory Watch with me,..angels,..watch..with me*..today. Let all God's..holy_Thoughts..surround me,.. and be still with me..while Heaven's Sun..is born...Let earthly sounds..be quiet/stilled, and the sights..to which I am accustomed..disappear. Let Christ..be welcomed..where He is..at home...here/now. And let Him hear..the sounds..of love..He understands, and see..but sights..that show all..His Father's Love...here/now. Let Him..no longer be a stranger..here,.. for He..is born again..in me..today.(W-pII.303.1:1-6) In the original/story,..the angels of God witnessed..to the birth of Jesus..in Bethlehem. Here,..in a passage..that is surely meant to evoke the peaceful nativity scene..that inspired hymns..like "O Holy Night" and "Silent Night," the angels of God..witness..to the birth of Christ in the stillness..of our hearts.

On the business front we'll be sending out electronic cards to our clients, as have a lot of businesses. It is less personal, but it's easier.
With respect to personal friends I'm still tossing-up. There are not too many people that I feel I need to reach out to because I haven't seen them during the year. Most of my friends are on Facebook, or turn-up from time to time in my email in-box.
Is this a common feeling and experience, or have I just been hit by a touch of the Scrooges?
