Divine Light Master

Christmas is a complicated time of year. Less sunlight, materialism and attachments compete with compassion, caring and rebirth. It is almost like there is a war going on inside us between light and dark. What we are actually feeling is the changing of the guard of old energy and new energy. In almost all religions and spiritual systems, this time of year is the time of death and rebirth. It is the natural cycle of life, as is birth and death. When we experience fear and lack at this time of year, it is because we have bought into the underlying belief that we are not enough and that happiness lies in acquiring something or someone that will make us happy. That is an illusion. We need to focus on appreciating ourselves and enjoying the natural cycle of life to the exclusion of competing thoughts. We choose what we think about. To be happy, think about happiness. When unhappy thoughts come up, or feelings of unhappiness, lack, victimhood, etc. arise, simply focus on happy thoughts. It is your choice.
