My greatest wish is that many souls come to know the true meaning of Christmas this year. That more people ask within, "What is Christmas?" so that the consumption of material goods doesn't distract and fool you any longer. May your hearts open to the inner meaning of what happens this time of year, and allow for it to change you for ever. 
In prayer and meditation I feel closer to my teachers within as I have been feeling how the light inside of me is growing stronger.
Undoubtedly this is a time to join in spirit with the joy, peace and love that is spoken of. But in order to know these are real and to experience them inside, we all have to go inside of our selves first, and see what is there, and then sort through what are lies and what is true....all in order to take on more light and love.
We can all be bold in our prayers and stronger in our hearts now, because in our heart of hearts we are asking to be saved, to be loved, and to be led. The teachers are close at hand, more ready than we know to show us our next steps. Each step along the way is paved out, and hands are ours to hold if we choose to receive help. Real teachers care to move us along, and bring us closer to our Creator, and our job is to strengthen ourselves, and to choose in each moment that we want to change more than we want to hold on to the things of our pasts.
My all be blessed in your devotion and courage to grow, to let go, and to serve our Creator. I pray that you are filled with peace and calm inside so that you come to know you will never be alone.

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for December 09, 2008:

I want to be connected to the love inside of me, and stay connected to that throughout each day.
My prayer is that many more souls come into God's love this season through the power of the great light in the stillness of their hearts and minds.

I want to share this webcast with you from Mother Clare Watts, Master teacher in the Christian Mystic tradition.
She shares about Christmas, the Light growing inside of us, and the spirit that is alive in this season.
Blessings to you all, 

"Christmas isn't just for Christians"

Path of Life, Blog by Father Peter Bowes

Posted on Dec 23rd, 2008 by Gloria : Christian Mystic Gloria
This was taken from www.TheMysticalPath.blogspot.com, I hope that you gain some insight and inspiration from this to grow and to be ever more real with yourself and others.
"For those who have been jaded on the path of life, I send out an invitation to you. Please come in from the cold. For those who tried to begin the spiritual path and feel you have wasted your time, open yourself to the possibility of transformation once again. For those angry by misperceived hurts from Teachers where you feel you were not understood, continue to strive for connection with God. Often your perception is wrong, you have to admit that. What you thought was mistreatment might possibly have been love, like holding a high standard that your rebelliousness could not stand at the time. No real spiritual Teacher is working to please their students, but to help them grow, and learn and open and change into the God beings they were created to be. So their methods may be stern or difficult, but they see the goal of you as a transformed, loving being and will do everything they can to help you get to that place. Often the student has attitudes, moods, anger and nasty things inside them that have to be surgically cut out of them and the process is difficult and precarious. But if the student has faith, they will allow the loving hand of the Teacher to take that out of them and they will grow and be changed. Sometimes a student will get so mad and reactive that they leave and then months later decide to attack the Teacher because they are blaming the Teacher for their own lack of courage and self-discipline in not changing habits and patterns that were addictive or no good for them. It is a free country and there is always choices to make. Students are free to come and go whenever they like, but they are not free to imagine they can do whatever they like and call themselves a spiritual student. There are standards and ways to be that cannot and will not be violated in the presence of a Teacher. For those of you who have had negative reactions and feel wronged, think again about your pride and your anger. If you are full of those things, then you have a whole truckload of work to do on yourself to rip those negative traits out of you and start to learn the heroic path of forgiveness, love, patience and understanding. You are not alone. There are billions of people who are angry like you. There are billions who are addicted to porn, to drugs, to alcohol, to meanness, and to fear. Do you want to be like everyone else? 
There is a way for you to come in out of the storm. But you have to be humble and accept help if you want things to change. Ask yourself :What problems do I still have, that I had before working with a particular Teacher - things I have not overcome in myself that are still there? Then you will see that the Teacher was not successful in inspiring you to change those things and you were way too attached to them out of anger, pride and fear - to let go of them and get over them. So you kept them which is your right. But you are still plagued by those things and have not busted through to master them yet. The teacher was and is on your side in overcoming these impurities of heart and mind. They know how and will help you if you let them. Come in out of the storm and put your hand back on the plough again. If you have the heart, you will."
