A UnitingTheme for Our Times Living in the Holy Nights.

Dearest Friends,

If you have not subscribed to the Inner Christmas Messages, but are still wondering if you will, I want to share a brief reflection on the meaning of a unifying theme and an imagination of what happens spiritually during the Holy Nights.

There are many online offerings for the Holy Nights this year. One of the strange gifts of Covid 19 is how we have all become willing to connect online.

Many of us want to say yes to all the offerings.

For many years after learning about the Twelve Holy Nights and seeking a real understanding of what they were about, I struggled with spiritual disappointment. Most of what was offered was a buffet of thoughtful, creative presentations and activities that were disconnected from each other. It was as if the Holy Nights were a spiritual umbrella under which anything could be.

Presentations or gatherings lacked a theme that would unite 12 imaginations into one sacred path from wonder to wisdom. If they had a theme, presentations lacked an unfolding design.

Whatever you choose to do over the Holy Nights on your own, please work with a uniting question and work with an imagination that begins in wonder and moves your soul toward wisdom.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Now here is what came to me in the middle of last night. This woke me up so I could write it down. After 16 years of sharing the Inner Christmas Messages, after sixteen themes approached from 12 different perspectives, I found this imagination coming to light in the night.

...Carrying on from the imagination of the Solstice Body, we now need to imagine the Great Threshold between the Earthly World and the Spirit World. It is the threshold of incarnation or birth and excarnation or death. What does this mean? What does it feel like?

The Mood of the Holy Nights is the Mood of the Great Threshold. Every year between the spiritual gestures in time of Nativity and Epiphany, we are invited to the Great Threshold by the Gods. They invite us for a conversation of wonder and wisdom that we can then bring back to our evolving sense of self.

The Gods want to know how we evolved over the year. This is why the work of Inner Advent is so essential. It prepares us to answer the questions of the Gods about our individual earthly life. They don’t have interest in our stories in time and space except as the process of becoming fully human. They want to know what we bring to the Great Threshold that reveals our ability to see Spirit living and manifesting in earthly existence. They want to celebrate all our tiny steps in our inner path to Truth, Beauty, Harmony, and Goodness. They want to know about our battles with evil. They look into our souls to see if Freedom and Love have permeated our Selfhood in any way.

Then the Gods awaken in our souls twelve gifts to take with us into the new year. The gifts are not scattered. They are united in focus and share a grand purpose.

When we return from the Great Threshold, we need Inner Epiphany. Inner Epiphany is the process of taking the twelve united gifts and preparing for a year of manifesting their purpose in our own individual way.

The Inner Christmas theme and the twelve messages are waking inspirations of the Grand Purpose for our evolving consciousness. They are the gifts of the Holy Nights.

Please contemplate your own relationship to this picture of the Holy Nights and the conversation you might have with the Gods about the significance of your year and your ability to receive the wisdom of a theme that unites twelve inspiring gifts.

Each year there is an inspired theme for the Twelve Holy Nights (December 25 — January 5). The twelve messages offer new ways to embrace and celebrate the presence of your spiritual self.

Arising from a uniting theme, the twelve perspectives on the theme are filled with wonder, wisdom and warmth to encourage reflection, self-awareness and spiritual empowerment. The twelve messages are proceeded by preparatory insights and suggestion and followed by a review and reflections on the epiphanies.

This year's uniting theme is THE DANCE OF DIFFERENCES.

In many ways our times feel like a War of Differences, painful, endless, destructive, arrogant and lacking love, vulnerability, transparency and reverence.

One dark morning in mid-November, I felt the Inner Christmas theme inspiration. I had been waiting for. The messages are to illuminate the Dance of Differences. I also was “told” to resend the messages from 2015 on the Twelve Kindnesses. To dance we need music and the music that plays for the Dance of Differences is kindness.

No one can win the War of Differences. Everyone can create beauty in the Dance of Differences. Over the 2020/21 Holy Nights, we will learn to dance at the edge of consciousness where spirit embraces our earthly lives and moves us forward with grace and blessing.

This dance of differences can only happen when we embrace with reverence the complexities and contradictions living in our own unique individuality. Then we can have the same reverence for what lives in others.
