Peace On Earth Good Will Towards Men
Peace On Earth, Good Will Towards Men

The din of
materialism, consumerism, commercialism, war, partisan divisiveness and
ideological animus is drowning out the quintessential message of this
season. This is the time of the Winter
Solstice, the Christ Mass, the Karast, of the Anointed One, the Messiah. These are
ancient ideas about the solar sun and allegories about spiritually evolved
personalities born around this time in antiquity; idealized persons who have
sparked the human imagination about the possibilities of a higher human
potential. These ancient personalities have for the most part been erased, suppressed,
perverted, coopted and distorted by modern men in their quest for power and
authority.
December
twenty fifth is the date Christians say Yeshua Bar Joseph the person Europeans
renamed Jesus was born. December twenty-first is the Winter solstice when
ancient star gazers mapped the heavens and noticed the days appeared shorter
and around the twenty-fifth the sun seemed to get stronger and the days started
getting longer, they called it the birth of the Sun.
Many ancient people celebrated this time of
the year and also created Gods and heroes they said were born around this time
of the year. Names like: Heru of ancient Egypt, Bel of Babylon, Prometheus of
Greece, Mithra of Persia and Krishna of India. In the case of the birth of Yeshua,
it is said his nativity was announced by an angel who encouraged Shepards
tending their flock not to be afraid for he had great news to share with them.
According to the Gospel of Luke the angel
spoke and immediately there arouse a heavenly host saying, “Glory to GOD in the
highest and on earth PEACE, good will towards men.”
Somehow
over the years we have disregarded that crucial message and the myths and
messages of the ancients about divine personages and heroes who came to this
realm to enlighten, guide and teach us about a better way to live, be and
navigate the world. In this modern era we have been conditioned to replace awe
and hope with pessimism, materialism, commercialism, commodification and greed.
In the world today war takes precedence over peace, animus, division and
predation are promoted instead of kindness, brotherhood and unity, greed
isolation and disconnection over sharing, community and social integration.
The
question is, are we better off now, are our lives fuller, do we have meaning purpose
and fulfillment in our lives today? Most would, if we are honest, have to say
no. We’d have to admit there is more anxiety, dread, depression, fear and a
sense of disconnection not just to other people but to the whole of nature.
Today unlike our indigenous
ancestors we ignore the unseen energies and powers all around us and we focus
absent mindedly on things gizmos and gadgets that wear out and provide no
significant substance for our lives. But
the good news is we don’t have to go out like this; we don’t have to passively
allow the powers who shouldn’t be to manipulate us and dupe us into becoming ignorant
unfeeling shells of ourselves!
During this holiday season let us
remember the great message and reality that THE CREATOR speaks to us all
through dreams, intuition and “angels”. The message is of universal love, peace
on earth good will towards all.
The warmongers and charlatans don’t
want us to hear the still small voice or acknowledge the dreams, visions and
messages from THE HIGHEST, but they are real and it is here for us now. Take
time to meditate on the significance of the seasonal message, “Glory to THE
CREATOR in the highest and on earth, peace good will towards all” and see what
a significant difference it makes in your life and environment.
