At
this time of year it can often feel that Christmas is becoming dominated by
materialthings. This is quite a depressing train of thought which could turn us away from a possible inner experience of the unique magic of this festival.
White
Eagle reminds us of the inner symbolism of the traditional Christmas story, and
also that this is a time when there is a particular spiritual blessing, if we
are able to open ourselves to receive it. It seems to me that this the real point—in
order to receive the heavenly gift of Christmas we have to be ready and open.
White
Eagle says: ‘At Christmas time we ask you
to remember that the heavens are filled with a shining, angelic throng, and the
heavens can open for you if you look to the Star, to the Light of Christ …… on
Christmas morning there is a special heavenly outpouring of this Light.’
And
as we receive the Light we long to share it…that is it’s magic. The wonderful
thing is that it is limitless! There is enough light to fill every heart with
heavenly comfort, and healing blessing. He reminds us too that the angels
(however exalted they may be!) need human channels to bring their light right
down into the darkest corners of the earth. So I feel that this is a time when
much really effective healing work can be done. What I’ll be doing over the
coming days is tuning in to the Star as often as I can, and offering my gift of
light, of positive thoughts, and goodwill for the angels to use. This is
something we can all do in our own way…working with the Christmas angels.
As
White Eagle said in a teaching many years ago: ‘The light from your spirit will light the torch of your brother, thus
many torches will be lit throughout the world. One simple brother’s heart may
warm and lighten the hearts of many. You are pioneers. Keep the spirit of
Christmas bright and shining.’
