The Sign of Christmas is a Star
“The sign of Christmas is a star, a light in darkness.” ~T-15.XI.2:1.
Let us remember, this holiday season, that Christmas (and every religious celebration at this time of year) is really about awakening to our Oneness. Oneness is holiness, and holiness is wholeness. What makes us whole? Remembering that we are Loving Light.
True love is unconditional, and it includes everyone–all our brothers, and ourselves. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you remember this Light within you. Use this picture to shift your perception from the outer world to your Inner Light.
Feel how naturally the Light expands, illuminating you from within until you cannot help but radiate this luminous Love. Whether Christmas is a joyful time or a painful time for you, remember that you have an Internal Teacher Who can help ignite the spark that is always inside you. Can you feel that star of Light within you? Can you let yourself be that radiant star?
Beneath your worldly cares lies the Truth. Your Source, the life force from which you originate, is always available. Holidays are a particularly good time to tune in to Inner Guidance so that you remember what is truly important: Love. To Love and Be Loved is the “being” part of “human being.” Christ-consciousness is simply “being” an extension of God’s Love.
“Being” and “creating” are the same Loving state of Mind. There is no “doing” in Truth–the undoing practice of A Course in Miracles teaches us to step back and let our Internal Teacher, the Holy Spirit (the memory of God within us), lead the way. Jesus was a follower, and he teaches us to follow the Holy Spirit, as he did. Surprisingly, to follow is to be empowered (that’s a subject for another day). And following is an unfolding that occurs effortlessly and naturally … if we let go of everything we’ve ever believed.
Holidays are Holy Days. Holiness is wholeness. This holiday season, I offer you this prayer, inspired by A Course in Miracles. It will help you let go of everything you’ve ever believed–and shine the Love of God instead. Repeat as often as you like:
God, help me know that the Truth in me remains as radiant as a star, as pure as Light, as innocent as Love Itself. Therefore, I am a beacon of Loving Light guided by the Light Within Me. And so it is. Amen.
