between receiving and giving.

  The Twelfth Gift ~ Freedom

Twelve is the number of completion and perfection (a perfect circle). Each year during the Holy Nights experience the sacred grace of twelve. Tonight is the completing night and the completing message of this year's theme of the gift.

What is the completing gift that always perfects what has come before? My heart says it is love. My head says it is freedom. 

My head wins.  If I have received freedom, I can give love.

Freedom is the gift of becoming, of not be held captive by anything, no belief, no perspective, no definition, no desire.

There are only moments when someone sets you free.  This is someone who has chosen to love you in freedom and with freedom just for a moment.  Her "I" has experienced your "I" and you know it. The burden of being you has disappeard. You are free to be and choose and do everything...anything...nothing.

Freedom received metamorphoses into the giving of love --  love that wants only to set the other free.

In the powerful experience of the Holy Nights, spiritual beings are loving you in freedom. Feel the gift freedom radiating your whole being.

Now from that feeling, look at the next person you come in contact with. 

You might want to sit down and think about the gift of freedom and then start to write about freedom, trying to get as close to freedom with your words as you can.  Just try.  It is impossible to "capture" the meaning of freedom as it is always free, but trying to do what can't be done is a very empowering and noble undertaking...one that lifts veils.

Each message has a topic based on the theme of the year. I offer a creative exploration of the topic, and a number of questions to consider around the topic as a way to find your individual relationship to the topic and a new, clarifying, liberating perspective on yourself.

Reading the messages is not the experience of the Holy Nights. The Holy Nights are a cosmic experience that can only be felt within your own soul. Be confident and know they are YOUR Holy Nights.
