Why Christmas Could Be Meaningful

No matter what we think or believe would save us at Christmas time – there is nothing more important than getting that one thing that we all need but never really get in our lifetime. What is that one thing?

Most of us believe it is something from the outer world. We just do not understand the art of manifestation…therefore, we do not teach this to our children nor do we want to learn the art of manifestation, because to do so means we have to give up the moral beliefs we have about “right and wrong” and “good and bad.” We think of manifestation as a matter of a magician pulling a rabbit out of a hat! It is not. There is much more to all of this and perhaps, this holiday season, the best Christmas gift I can offer you is an insight that helps you manifest.

The word manifestation means “clear or obvious to the eye or mind.” To come to this state of being we must be very diligent in our inner ways and learn how to sit within ourselves with an inner posture pointed toward not only meditation, but bringing our meditations into our life as a lifestyle. Once we have come to the place in meditation where we can recognize that energy is the light of our life, we will never be in the darkness of confusion again. We will realize the intrinsic goodness of being and never again doubt the merit or worth of the being that we truly are.

Manifestation is breaking the ideas of assumed personal worth defined as “worthy” or “unworthy” by our spiritual ignorance and moving beyond the moral standards of the ego. This requires the perseverance of flowing within the discipline of an authentic spiritual practice. Life is NOT a philosophy that we can simply adopt. It is not something we can rationalize or argue with. It is a state of being that we enter through the flow of consciousness.

Manifestation means that we bring into this world that which exists upon the “other shore” of being. We live as a form of Life and as the Universe itself. It lives within…in a place few people ever move into, much less are interested in. Hence, we only live for the sake of gratification, which reduces our experiences down to the human cul-de-sac of emotional pain.

Here is the karmic formula for manifestation, listen to it without being robotic: give that which you would like to own and keep for the sake of pride and insecurity! It is that simple. Giving is not impulsive…it is mindful. True giving occurs only as the presence of LOVE is allowed to be a mindful flow of undeniable compassion within us. There must be a profound willingness on the giver’s part to enter into the vast ONENESS of Love, to see the bigger picture of Life and to truly feel the willingness to be generous.
