As much as Christmas (December 25th) is a season of joy and excitement, it is also a time for radiating love and forgiveness. Why is it so difficult for us to forgive others? Sometimes, even years after it has happened, sometimes even after they have apologized, why can we not forgive them? We hold them responsible for our pain, and because we do not heal ourselves, we continue to hold on to the pain. Replaying the moment again and again in our mind, we emotionally abuse ourselves; we punish ourselves for their mistakes. Forgiving someone means that we do not allow the person or the situation that involved the person and us to live negatively in our minds anymore. We understand that we harmed ourselves more and longer than they did. Let us not carry our wounds into the New Year. They harmed us, but we created the pain, and we can heal ourselves. I forgive myself, I forgive them, the karmic account is over.
The Christmas Tree symbolizes humanity. Green represents life, nourishment, and freshness. The trunk reminds us that we were all united in one religion of peace, love and truth in the past. We later divided as branches into different religions, and each religion branched out further, as represented by twigs. The leaves correspond to the souls of The Tree of Humanity, and the Shining Star on top symbolizes God or the Supreme Soul. Decorating the Christmas Tree inspires us to decorate the soul with compassion, love, and truth. The lights on the Tree remind us to illuminate the soul with spiritual wisdom. Santa Claus coming through the soot-covered chimney symbolizes the Supreme God Father who comes in these times of darkness into the emotionally polluted world to give us gifts we ask Him for every day. The gifts of purity, unity, love, and peace. Let us shift from Invoking Angels to Being an Angel. An angel playing the role of a parent, a spouse, a boss, a friend, or a stranger on the road. When we shift from seeking love and happiness to giving it to everyone unconditionally, we heal and empower souls and the world. Become the Angel the world is looking for.
