Human life runs its course in the metamorphosis

between receiving and giving.

Epiphany ~ What's New?

What's new? That's the question for Epiphany.

This year we ask "What gift or gifts did I receive?" I am not asking you to look at The Twelve Gifts with this question.  I am asking you to look into your soul and see what's new, what wasn't there before because you received something in your soul during the Holy Nights.

Most of us go cognitive with this.  We think about it. I want to sweetly suggest and emphatically urge you to just go for the feeling.  Do you feel you received a gift during the Holy Night's that changed how you? Do you feel differently about yourself, the cosmos, something in your past, another soul, meaning, purpose, life, death, the gods?

Maybe you feel like you just took a long spiritual soak or ate a very filling spiritual dessert. Maybe you quenched some spiritual thirst or soothed some spiritual agitation.

Did you get a feel for the the holiness of the Holy Nights?

Down the slippery slope of self-judgment, perhaps you are feeling spiritually lazy, spiritually forgetful, or spiritually empty because you didn't always read the messages, or you just read them on your smartphone and planned on meditating or working with them later and forgot, or maybe you didn't feel much. 

I can promise you that the Holy Nights always give forgiveness. Won't you receive the forgiveness of the Holy Nights and let the self-judgment go?

Whatever you received during the Holy Nights, it is metamorphosing right now into something you give! Thank you, Goethe! and the gods that blessed human consciousness with the capacity to evolve and metamorphose.

About the veils that lift at the beginning of the Holy Nights...have they fallen down again?

In the eight years I have been writing the Inner Christmas messages, I have never asked "What are the veils that lift and fall?" Contemplate this question with me. Share your epiphanies about the veils by making a comment here.  Thank you.

The messages and all the comments will remain available at www.innerchristmasmessages.com until next year.  Please return to the messages over the coming months and please leave more comments.

I do have one more gift for you. It will arrive tomorrow in your inbox.  It is a simple way to review the first week of the year. Maybe it's a way to keep a veil or two from falling.

As I said when I gave a presentation on the Shepherds and the Kings last Sunday at a Holy Nights gathering in Chapel Hill.  "If you do not know yourself, you cannot know the Spiritual World." Know what you received!

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.
