The following just came to me from one of my teachers, Marshall Vian Summers, and the wonderful people at The Society for The Greater Community Way of Knowledge.

“Sharing The Meaning of Christmas”

A Timeless Message

We at The Society would like to make available to you a timeless message for all seasons delivered in a state of Revelation to Marshall Vian Summers in 1994, a message that transcends our usual associations with all of the holy days and presents the Greater Community perspective on The Meaning of Christmas.

“This is the meaning of Christmas. It is not the glorification of an individual. It is the recognition of a real relationship—the relationship of individuals with Knowledge within themselves, their relationship and their intrinsic bond with the Unseen Ones, their relationship with humanity and their affinity with life.”

✦✦✦

“Only Knowledge has the strength to move other minds.
Only Knowledge has the potency to create a lasting impact.
Only Knowledge can foster good and good intentions.
Only Knowledge can counteract fear and hostility.
Only Knowledge can bless the world.
Your promise, then, is to become a man or a woman of Knowledge,
a vehicle for Knowledge,
a person through which Knowledge can speak, act and move,
a bringer of Grace.

Here you become a person of action who can effect change,
but with a greater spirit,
who can speak the truth,
but with a greater authority,
and who can reveal error,
but with a greater compassion.
Only Knowledge can do this because
Knowledge is the source of these great expressions.”

From The Meaning of Christmas booklet

We invite you to bring something new to your experience of this season of the year by setting aside a special time in quiet, perhaps with another person you know, someone who is also responding to the call of a different way and who is seeking something greater.  Create a time and place. Light a candle. And read this inspiring message together.

If you resonate with this message, you may find yourself, like us at The Society, incorporating the oral reading of The Meaning of Christmas as a yearly ritual to be shared.

What is this Law of Attraction?

We need to be aware that if we want to create more health, wealth, and happiness (for example) in our life, we need keep our attention and focus on health, wealth, and happiness, so that we carry that vibration with us throughout our day. If we focus on lack or limitation, we attract more lack and limitation. If we focus on abundance, we attract more abundance. So, to create what we want, we need to resonate & vibrate with the energy of what we want, NOT what we don’t want. It may sound like an over-simplification, but that really is the essence of the Law of Attraction.

As you probably well know, our society & upbringing has conditioned most people to always be focusing on lack, limitation, and what is wrong. First and foremost, we must reverse this old default pattern and start consciously vibrating with the energy of what we want. That is a whole subject in itself, however, the good news is that it can be learned. Many are already beginning to use the Law and are magnetizing and attracting exactly what they want.

What I am most interested in learning, and helping my clients and readers to learn, is how to enhance those basics so that we can amplify the results. I recently read an excellent post by a colleague of mine, Anita Briggs, who teaches about activating the Power of Attraction within each of us. I’m sharing Anita’s article below, and I encourage you read it, and then to download her free 19 page instructional report via the link at the end. It is totally free and extremely helpful:

Clarity and Purpose Part 2 – Applying Detail, Consistency and Believability to Ensure Quick Results
by Anita Briggs

This article is the 2nd of four articles on manifestation that you will receive in the weeks to come. It is from the Empowerment Through Conscious Awareness Articles Series.

Another pitfall of conscious manifestation is attempting to energize what you don’t believe or are not ready to accept. If you don’t believe it’s possible, then you will be plagued with doubt and will prove your disbelief correct. Doubt sends mixed signals to the creative substance and can stop manifestation in its tracks.

Understand your sphere of availability and learn to work within that sphere as a sure way to eliminate all doubt from the process and optimize your efforts. You can only ever manifest what is in your sphere of availability anyway–this need not be restrictive, as you also stretch this sphere by conscious effort.

When you believe it’s possible you can easily anchor the energies of your desires fulfilled and hold that reality mentally and emotionally; in this manner the physical formation is assured.

In this article you will also learn the most powerful manner in which to formulate a complete creation statement, along with a simple exercise that will generate a strong feeling-imagination for your statement as well as make you a vibrational match to your desires. The key is feeling, because feeling activates the power of Attraction within you.

Feeling is magnetic –it’s speed has as lower limit the speed of light and infinity as upper limit. Feeling is not emotion. Emotions can be a less than love vibrations. Feeling on the other hand comes from the higher heart aligned to divine intelligence. In feeling your creations, you wield the power of the universe and tap its infinite potential.

Love and Blessings,

Although the specific objectives (finding my life purpose, prosperity, bringing in more creativity, connection with my intuition, happiness in relationships) may be seemingly diverse, the common theme that I hear is something like:

“I feel this change has to happen now!”

“Time seems to running out.”

“My present situation (relationship/work/financial condition/’fill in the blank’) has become completely intolerable. It’s no longer acceptable.”

So, why the rush, why the time intensity?

The reason, I believe, is that many of us are realizing that the Universe/God/Spirit has a plan and a purpose for us in this lifetime, a plan we agreed to before we came in. We may not yet REMEMBER exactly what that purpose is, but we are just beginning to become consciously and energetically aware that we have not been living up to what we are here to do.

We are feeling the pressure. We are recognizing that we are wasting our life energy and it is no longer OK with us to do that. We understand, intuitively, that we are in a time of great change on the planet right now. That change is about everyone and everything coming into complete alignment with who we are and why we are here.

Symptoms of a non-aligned life.

If your life is out of alignment in a significant way, you will usually recognize it by one or more of the following symptoms:

1) My relationships are not satisfying.

2) I’m living less than abundantly.

3) My work is feeling meaningless, or a waste of time.

4) I have little or no energy.

5) Everything is going wrong (consistently).

6) I am not living authentically. I feel I have to be someone other than who I really am.

7) I have a consistent low-level anxiety.

If you recognize any one, or more, of the above symptoms as prominent for you now, then CONGRATULATIONS. Why? Because you are receiving a clear message that something needs to change. And it needs to happen soon. Oh, I’m not saying this to alarm you, it’s really very good news.

You have already taken the first step, and that is to recognize where you are, and what you need to address. You have a starting point.

Now all you need is an intention to create change in your life. And you don’t have to make all the changes at once, you can begin with small steps if you wish, AS LONG AS YOU BEGIN. You have a multitude of people, places, and tools that can support you in making the changes you need to make. You just need to reach out.

You also have the free tools and information on this blog site. And more are being added every week. Pick an area of your life that needs change, yet feels like a challenge to you. Maybe the starting point for you would be “Manifesting the courage to make the necessary changes”. Then select one of the Healing Exercises and begin practicing with it.

Once you start to focus on creating change, you will also begin an energetic shift that will carry you forward toward much greater alignment and fulfillment in your life.

Try it! Let me know what happens.

Love and Blessings,

I have to say that even though I have been facilitating abundance classes and creating abundance & prosperity processes for quite a few years, when I read those words, “that you have to love the money itself” I found it a bit radical. And….it also resonated with me as the truth.

In my teaching, and in my life, I’m a firm believer in The Law of Attraction. Simply stated, the law says “that which you continue to flow energy to grows stronger in your life”. So many of us have been continually indoctrinated throughout our lives (especially in our early years) with the idea that money is either ‘bad’ or a ‘necessary evil’. Because of that many of us either have a love-hate relationship with money, or we are totally disinterested in the money itself.

When we have a love-hate relationship with money we are sending out a vibration that both attracts money, and then repels it. This creates an experience of lots of money coming in for a while, and then no money for a while. Feast or famine. Or we bring in lots of money and then lots of things happen to get rid of the money that we created. On the other hand, if we have a vibration of “disinterest” about money itself, money will respond by being disinterested in us. This usually shows up as we have only enough money to “get by” but never enough to really thrive.

If either of the above situations have been your experience you can be sure that your relationship with money is not a loving, happy one. If you have a reaction of outrage or resistance to the idea that “one needs to love money” it tells you that on some very real level you are pushing money away. After all, if we consider something unlovable we are sending out a big energetic “NO” to it.

And please understand that when I say I agree that one needs to love money, I am not saying that one should be ‘obsessed’ by money. Obsession with money, or anything else, can lead to all sorts of evil. What I am suggesting here is that we need to have the same kind of love for money that we might have for a really good friend. Good friends support us in our life in many ways, and so does money.

In a future posting soon, I will include a healing exercise for balancing conflicting feelings about money, and I’ll also include some recommended resources for improving your relationship with money.

In the meantime, I hope you find these thoughts helpful.

We may be experiencing symptoms that used to be called manic-depression, and some may feel disoriented and/or low energy. There seems to be much more internal turbulence.

So what’s going on here?

I believe that there are several major energetic shifts happening on the planet at this time. One shift is that each of us, personally, is being compelled (literally), on an energetic level, to come more into alignment with our true essence.

Another equally important shift is that things are speeding up significantly at this time, and that increase in momentum will continue. So if we don’t respond to our internal messages to come into alignment, we will be feeling increasing discomfort and unrest.

The Harmonic Concordance that occurred on November 8th, 2003 was just the beginning of a period that I am told will last for almost another 9+ years. What does that mean to us personally? And just as important, what do we do about it?

The first thing to recognize is that you are NOT going crazy. The other thing to recognize is that this is happening to EVERYONE on some level. Some of us are feeling just a vague unease, but many of us are extremely aware of areas in our lives that are completely out of alignment. Regardless of whether these feelings are vague or intense for you, I would suggest you begin by accepting (even embracing) that this period is perfect for you.

Literally, you need to embrace the feelings even if they are intense. The next thing is to recognize that the areas of your life (internally and externally) that are out of alignment with your true essence, cannot continue to be tolerated.

We are in the midst of a dimensional shift of major proportions and every cell in your body is responding to that shift. In other words, you need to bring these unaligned areas into alignment, or the universe will find a way to do it for you.

A good place to begin is to ask, “What areas of my life have been less than joyful for a while, and what changes do I need to make to increase that joy”. Also you need to ask, “What longstanding old wounds and patterns are still unhealed within me ?”.

These times are a great opportunity for you!

Your next step would be to begin to take action steps to create change. Look at the unhealthy things you can easily stop doing, and begin to stop them. Do each of the exercises on this blog (and in my “Ultimate Guide” eBook) that resonate for you. And, if it feels right to you, find a group, or a healing facilitator with good energy, and try a session. Get the support that will assist you. Keep moving along the path to your true magnificence.

You will be sending a message to the Universe saying, “Yes, I am ready to fully align with my gifts, wisdom, and abilities, and I am beginning to do something about it”. Then, listen to what’s going on inside, and take another baby step. The Universe will respond. You will soon begin to find your life getting better and better, in many amazing ways.

I hope this message serves you well!
