A friend of mine on facebook posted this earlier today. It is a video that captures so clearly both the miracle of the birth of Jesus, and the miracle of our being able to feel the TOUCH OF SPIRIT in our own hearts and minds.
While watching this, I settled into the "silence" that is sung about in this favorite Christian hymn, "Silent Night," about the night of his birth. And as I watched the familiar contemporary images of today, I knew that what I was feeling was right here inside me. Perhaps it was that same hushed stillness which was present those 2,000 years ago when that particular baby was born. It's possible, I think, since it is the same CONSCIOUSNESS of THE DIVINE that was present then as well as now.
The contemporary spiritual teacher, Eckert Tolle, has gifted the world with a number of books on STILLNESS and the capacity we have for living in the now. When practiced, he says we too can sense the DIVINE that It is always present inside us and in our world. Stillness, silence, conscious intention to listen...conscious intention to perceive...
I invite you to hear anew this familiar song and enter into the Silence that is as old as Creation itself. And when you do, however successful you are in going deeply into the STILLNESS, you will feel your consciousness touched.

It helps me to remember the other phrase: "Love Came Down at Christmas" and truly REALIZE that this Gift of Love was given for us both then and now.
Have a Blessed Holiday and receive into your heart this gift of LOVE that is given to all of the Earth's children.
Light and Love to all,
Marcella
