Father-Mother God


Father-Mother God

by Owen Waters

Post on 09/27/2026



The concept of God as a Father-Mother principle, not just a Father God, is hardly new. For example, the Hindu religion has focused largely on the Mother aspect of God for over 3,000 years! It was to Mother God that Yogananda found his greatest inspiration throughout his early life.

The Christian Science movement, founded in 1879, is one which holds the Father-Mother God principle as central to its teachings. They regard the masculine-oriented qualities of God, such as strength, constancy and protection to be related to the Father aspect of God, while the feminine-oriented qualities, such as gentleness, compassion and nurturing to be related to the Mother aspect of God. They do not see God as two ‘people’ – a male entity and a female entity – but rather as an integrated, all-pervasive presence possessing both aspects of consciousness in equal balance.

If we look at the nature of the original consciousness which is behind all things, we can better understand the concept of an integrated Father-Mother God. God is not a person. God is an everywhere-present, all-knowing intelligence which created and maintains the universe. Behind even this creative presence, is the ultimate, original, unchanging state of consciousness, that of Infinite Being.

Infinite Being is a state of perfect beingness which contains all potential. As such, it fundamentally does not “do,” it just is. It is perfection, and therefore unchanging. However, at some point, Infinite Being decided to ‘become,’ rather than just ‘be.’ It decided to manifest its potential, and then to act out every part of that potential.

That greatest mystery of all time – why Infinite Being decided to “become” rather than just “be” – has now been answered by a spiritual master who went beyond where anyone has gone before and succeeded in retrieving the answer! The story of his return, and the stunning answer to the mystery, is told in the e-book, Discover Your Purpose in Life (see below*).

Once Infinite Being had made the decision to create the universe, it achieved the Creation through its only available tool – that of consciousness. Infinite Being divided its consciousness into two complementary aspects. In one direction, it focused intent. In another direction, it focused feeling. Then, it applied motion so that the two facets of itself – intent and feeling – could interact with each other as intertwined waves of consciousness in motion, manifesting as the energy to sustain all forms of life. In this way, Infinite Being extended itself from just being, into a state of action and creation.

The dividing of the ‘waters’ of original consciousness into two, complementary aspects created the aspect of intent and the aspect of feeling. These two principles of consciousness interact together in perfect, equal balance. Were they not perfectly balanced, the universe would cease to exist!

People traditionally find comfort in thinking of God as a parent-like presence. The two aspects of original consciousness on a grand cosmic scale do not translate well into human gender terms. However, you could choose to think of the expansive intent aspect as the part which seems more father-like. You could also choose to think of the feeling aspect as the Preserver of all of creation and the one which seems more mother-like. However, these are just images to help us identify, from a human perspective, with the vastness of the consciousness of God.

God maintains the universe through a perfect balance of the complementary aspects of its consciousness. In the light of this, if people choose to think of God in parental terms, then the word God today has to mean ‘Father-Mother God’ and not just ‘God the Father.’

Remember that without God the Father’s other half, the universe would cease to exist!

God the Mother Appeared First!

It may come as a great disappointment to fans of patriarchy, but when Infinite Being decided to create the universe, the Mother aspect of the Creative Trinity had to appear first.

The Mother aspect supplied the subtle magnetic energy which is the fabric of space. Then, the Father aspect used intention to fill that space with what we think of as the Big Bang of Creation – the appearance of the framework of all matter from what appeared to be a center point of nothingness. Such is the magic of Creation. Then, the Mother and Father aspects joined together to bring the principle of motion into existence so that the universe could be filled with usable energy.

 

Think about it. If the Big Bang appeared first, before there was space and its magnetic ability to contain the explosion of initial Creation, there would have been one giant “Pop!”, then nothing. No containment, no framework, no energy, no matter, no suns, planets, plants, people, and no host of angels and nature spirits to maintain this wonderful universe.

So, if God the Mother is so important, where is She in the Christian belief system? That can be explained with a little history.

When Caesars Claimed to be Sons of God

 

When Christianity in its present-day form was being established, its founders had to compete with a long succession of Caesars, each one of which claimed to be a son of God.

The Christian claim that Jesus was the one and only son of God was a response to that state of affairs. It did not originally exclude far-away religions or the teachings of other messengers of God like Buddha or Krishna. It was just dealing with a local problem.

The importance of placing Jesus as the son of God made the church founders invent their own Trinity. Instead of the usual Trinities of other cultures, all of which included the aspects of father, mother, and bringers of light, they decided to place Jesus right next to God.

Then, they had to wonder what to do with the Mother aspect of God that is usually placed right next to the Father. Well, she got bumped over into third place and was renamed as the Holy Spirit. In keeping with their patriarchal focus, they then proceeded to hardly mention her anywhere in the New Testament and they rarely emphasized her supportive and healing role in answering the prayers of the faithful.

The Shift to Expanded Consciousness

Today, the concept of Father-Mother God has become a very timely one. As we progress through The Shift to heart-centered consciousness, the concept of patriarchy is steadily fading away into history. Father God, as a male persona, is part of the Old Reality thinking. The expanded concept of Father-Mother God is inbuilt into the emerging new awareness.

We are entering a New Reality where all people are honored equally, regardless of race, creed, color, personal preferences and, especially, gender. Heart-centered consciousness means unconditional love and acceptance of all people in their infinite diversity. We exist on this earth as the eyes and ears of Infinite Being as it seeks to experience itself through the infinite variety of every possible viewpoint.

Diversity is integral to our purpose in existence.

Your purpose in life includes the development of your own potential so that you can become the most unique ‘you’ possible. Today’s emerging heart-centered consciousness means that people will support, rather than compete against, the efforts of other people.

As New Reality consciousness expands, human potential will flower in creative ways never before imagined possible. You can think of God as a balance of Father-Mother God consciousness or simply go beyond that to think of Infinite Being as the ultimate state of unchanging perfection. Either way, remember that the conscious awareness of the presence of God is a mere thought away.

It is your concept of the God presence within which will feed the flame of your creativity and help bring your unique potential into full and joyful manifestation.

*The greatest mystery of all time in spiritual philosophy has been, WHY life began. Why, when God had been perfection in the first place, did God create the universe so that living beings could work their way back to a perfection which already existed?

The story of how a spiritual master who passed on in the late 1990s and then went ‘beyond the beyond’ – beyond where anyone on Earth had gone before – in order to bring back that very answer is told in the e-book*, Discover Your Purpose in Life by Owen Waters:

Exploring Gentleness

Exploring Gentleness

By Steve Beckow

Posted on February 8, 2025


On one level, it doesn’t matter what’s going on outside. I know the purpose of life is Self-Realization (1) and so I continue to observe myself, separating the transitory from the eternal, moving along the path of self-awareness and self-discovery.

I reflect on my life, at 5 in the morning, no one else being up. And I see what a prominent place anger has played in it.

Having been kicked around and swatted as a kid by my father, I eventually learned how to defend myself and then went around looking for a fight. Anger was such a valuable survival tool that I regarded it as a friend.

But it’s not a friend on the receiving end and I regret my part in the conflict.  I still get angry when triggered. And all of that has to go before Michaelangelo & Partners opens its doors.

So this delay and then hope and then delay and then hope (since 2013, in my case) has always worked for me because it allows me a dress rehearsal. I may go over my post-Reval To Do list again. I may practise describing the work of the fund to an imaginary applicant. All the time I’m learning, growing.

Anger is something that can upset the apple cart quickest so I’d prefer not to have a trace of it in me when showtime arrives.

***

Something I noticed this morning is that I can practise ways of being that increase my distance from anger.

Good example: Gentleness. There’s more distance between gentleness and anger than, say, between roughness or crudeness and anger.

Gentleness also seems like an anger-retardant. Even when it’s spurned.

Again, the further my distance from anger, theoretically, the more reaction time I have. The more time to detect anger rising and express what its message is while I’m minimally reactivated and maximally in control. These are my working hypotheses.

What does anger say? I don’t want to do that. I want to do this. I want that. I don’t want this. You can’t have it! Oh, go ahead.

This is infantile. What happened to “say no nicely”?

I’m back in kindergarten with this one.

***

My grand motif, (2) the thought that organizes other thoughts, is “you can’t trust anyone.”  Keep your dukes up. Don’t turn your back on anyone. It always comes when you least expect it.

Dad speaking. Merchant marine. WW2. Down manning the ship’s boiler. Dead duck in case of a torpedo attack. Very rough. I don’t blame him.

And I also suspect that it was designed to awaken in me a past-life memory of … a military life. It awakened a martial spirit in me. I think that has done its job now and can probably be put back on the shelf.  I know where it is, where it came from, and what its use is if needed.

But it’ll be needed less and less, perhaps as I learn more and more not to resort to anger but to resort to gentleness instead. And perhaps the rising lovelight energies – and med beds – will erase the rest.

What’s Happening Now? – 2

What’s Happening Now? – Part 2 /3

By Steve Beckow

Posted on August 12, 2024


“Many pockets of darkness have already been removed”


(Continued from Part 1/3, yesterday.)

Will the resistant be removed?

Mira: Many pockets of darkness have already been removed from the Earth along with the beings who are absent of light. (9)

Divine Mother: Those people who just simply say “no, I don’t want to do this” will be gathered up in mercy, in compassion, gentleness and kindness – not brought to somewhere else, let me be very clear about that – they will be brought home for reconstitution. …

They will either die beforehand or die during, because they cannot incorporate the level of the love energy – because that is what Ascension is – they cannot incorporate that and it literally… you have heard of situations, especially you… have heard of situations where people’s hearts simply stop or explode for no explained reason.

It is simply because they cannot continue on, and the merciful thing to do is to simply, gently and kindly, bring them home. (10)

The Elohim: The outer aspect of Earth’s liberation is that an oppressive global regime, hostile to humanity, is dissolving: as higher energies pour in to revitalize, heal and purify the planet and all forms of life upon it. An ancient order of deceit, subversion, domination and humiliation comes now to its natural end.

Hurray!

The inner aspect of this process is a liberation of consciousness. The consciousness of Gaia, the planetary being, is being liberated. The consciousness of humanity – along with that of all other species – is being liberated. And the consciousness of individuals, including yourself, is being liberated. (11)

How do we respond to these times in general?

Repeat the Mantra over and over. It anchors you in Strength. It supports you.

I AM THE LIGHT.
I AM THE LOVE.
I AM THE TRUTH.
I AM.

When you awaken to each new sunrise, YOU BE … YOU.

YOU manoeuvre throughout your day, breathing and taking action with each new breath.

One phone call could change your life and you ‘do what you have to do’, depending on the nature of that call. You cannot not do anything, for life moves on within each of those breaths that you take.

What is to come should be ‘handled’ in the same way.

WHATEVER IS TO OCCUR … YOU WILL GET THROUGH IT. …

Blossom: I feel we are speaking of Phase Two?

FoL: We are. (12)

How are we doing?

9D Arcturian Council: We are very pleased with your progress there on Earth, and we want you to know that you have reached a level of consciousness, an overall vibration, to be ready for more of what we have to offer you.

We do work in agreement with many other collectives up here in the higher realms to offer you the various upgrades, activations, attunements and downloads that we do. And so, we are not taking complete and total credit for what is coming your way, but we do want you to know that we are a part of this delivery of what is coming next to all of you.

You are going to receive the upgrades that you need to be able to handle higher-frequency energies. Those upgrades will be happening at the cellular and DNA levels, as well as within your chakra system. You are getting downloads and attunements to help you with the connecting of consciousness.

You are becoming better vehicles, better vessels, for the higher-frequency energies that can be channeled by all of you. You all often do channel without knowing it, but you will become more aware of those moments as you move forward.

You are also being given activations of more of your higher self’s consciousness within your physical body so that you can know yourselves as multidimensional beings who are capable of reaching out into all other systems and dimensions that you would like to.

We want you to know that what is coming is huge and that you are a part of the readiness for what is coming.
It is that work that you do on yourselves, and it is the way you spread higher-vibrational information around that prepares humankind for what is to come. (13)

9D Arcturian Council: And so, because you are doing your part, you make yourselves ready for these upgrades, downloads, activations and attunements.

You are being attuned to the fifth-dimensional energies. You are ready now because you have opened up in terms of your hearts, your minds.

Even your beliefs are opening up to allow in more possibilities, and when you release those limitations of the third dimension consciously, you make room for more of that which is fifth dimensional in nature. And of course, you will continue to move closer and closer to the fifth dimension until you find yourself dwelling in that frequency range all the time.

We want you to know that it is inevitable that you will have full e.t. contact there on Earth, and it is inevitable that you will shift to the fifth dimension, but we also want you to have the best possible experience of both of those things. (14)

(Continued in Part 3/3, tomorrow.)

“Some Royal Beings are in Sickness….”

“Some Royal Beings are in Sickness….”

By Steve Beckow

Posted on May 15, 2024



I feel impelled to repeat something the Telosians through Marie Josée Andichou said in their 14th May 2024 message that Sitara posted.

This is a second view of what will be happening to ill-doers in the near future and figures into our discussion of executions:

“Your strength of Love, within you, in your heart, is stronger than [the elite’s] current little power. You can already see that some royal beings [British royalty, for instance] are in sickness. These beings have a faded but very real power because of their material wealth, but not only that. Illness suddenly takes hold of them, and it will also affect other human beings imbued with power over you.

“And that’s not all: some of them will attempt suicide because they can’t accept losing everything that gives meaning to their lives. These events, which will affect them, will take place in a very short space of time and will be a liberation for you, which you will welcome with relief. When we say ‘relief,’ we mean that it will bring you an understanding of all the lies that have been passed down to you since time immemorial. This is going to be a time of revelations.

“As these low-powered humans see their lives unravel, another form of life will settle on your planet. This will happen gradually, and that’s why we ask you to look to your future, to the times ahead, with confidence and Joy, because you’ll know that the great wish within you to live the New Earth will come true.” (1)

You recall that the Mother said as much in an earlier message:

Divine Mother: Those people who just simply say “no, I don’t want to do this” will be gathered up in mercy, in compassion, gentleness and kindness – not brought to somewhere else, let me be very clear about that – they will be brought home for reconstitution. …

They will either die beforehand or die during, because they cannot incorporate the level of the love energy – because that is what Ascension is – they cannot incorporate that and it literally… you have heard of situations, especially you… have heard of situations where people’s hearts simply stop or explode for no explained reason.

It is simply because they cannot continue on, and the merciful thing to do is to simply, gently and kindly, bring them home. We do not know the meaning of punishment, of what has in so many different religious pursuits been called “hell.” “Hell” is when you are in that place – the depth of despair. (2)

The Mother has an insider view: She creates the action. The Telosians have an outsider view: They see people fall sick and die. Both see farther than we do.

When I say we don’t need to execute the dark hats, this mass exodus that will be occurring is part of the reason why I say that. The rest of the reason is spiritual. (3)

Notice the Expanded Sense of Who You Are

Notice the Expanded Sense of Who You Are

The Galactic Dragons

Channel: Ailia Mira

Posted on February 28, 2024



Divine Ones,

The light within you continues to expand. And as it expands within you, it illuminates areas of your experience that might help you reconnect with who you truly are. It draws you to them. It propels your attention towards that which will awaken within you a greater appreciation of, and an understanding of the essence of your being.

This is done with incredible gentleness, and so much love. There is this profound knowing within All That You Are that if it can reveal to you insights, awareness, realizations... If it can assist you in making connections between experiences and your sense of Self, that there will be a way into a clearer, truer expression of who you really are here, with confidence, know how, and tremendous joy. 

And so there's just a very strong drive to provide these glimpses of the true self to you. And this is endlessly occurring. You've had many moments when you have sensed who you really are. Had a surge of energy, a keen sense of an immediate substantial expansion of your sense of possibilities and felt the feeling of elation that accompanies these. And yet very often because of the incredible forcefulness of the conditioning and stimulation from the outer world, the collective, often this more luminous, delicate, divinely ordered, radiant sense of Self eludes you. 

Knowing this now, we encourage you the next time you have a sense of who you truly are and you feel the lift that comes with this awareness, that you claim it as your own knowing and decide to make it real to you. Decide to anchor it in somehow. 

You can ask us to help you to anchor it in. But it's your decision that empowers the changes that will facilitate you feeling steadily aware of who you truly are in your day to day life. And nothing is more important than that. That puts you on your path, and it puts you in the stream of the ascending, rising, expanding energy. Which then immediately begins to carry you and lift you and take you to the experiences that will accelerate and expand your divine unfolding

It is with great joy that we share this potential, this possibility, this perpetually offered path with you, in the knowing that you will at some point very soon -- if not already -- realize it as your own. 

We are complete. 

We are the Galactic Dragons with Ailia, Ashira, Archangel Michael and the Council of Radiant Light. We close with an invitation -- have a wonderful day! 

Ailia Mira

A Vision for Gentleness

A Vision for Gentleness

The Vision Alignment Project

 
 
 
We see a world where gentleness has surfaced in every nation, in every family, in every business, in every home, in every heart; where our inclinations to act out in anger have entirely disappeared and have been replaced by a sweetness, a softness that tells all others that we mean no harm, that we only seek to help in whatever way we can.
 
We see a world where the rough edges of life are gone now, and looked back upon as a step we had to go through in order to reach the place where our acts, both individual and worldly, are caring and compassionate; where we learned, through our pain and sorrow, that our hardness and our harshness took us away from the happiness we sought, and that our gentleness returned us, straight away, to the love that was within us all along.

A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY

A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY

Emmanuel Dagher

ENERGY FORECAST

DECEMBER 2023

Posted on December 1, 2023

 
 
 
Happy Holidays my friend,
 
Your presence here is cherished, and I’m so grateful for you.
 
We have so much to catch up on, so let’s get right to it . . .
 
A Golden Opportunity
 
As the year 2023 comes to a close, we are being presented with a phenomenal opportunity to heal the deepest wounds and hurts within ourselves, to help prepare us for an epic new year.
 
2023 has been an immensely spiritual year, one that has been helping us anchor into our hearts and minds a balance between the Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine.
 
Ancient Chinese philosophy describes this time of chaos and heightened change as a turning of the tides.
 
The Yang (the Masculine) is being called to support and serve the Yin (the Feminine). Although these principles can appear to be opposites, they are essential to the expansion of one another.
 
Every aspect of our lives is experiencing the reverberations of the sweeping internal and external shifts that have been taking place.
 
Right now, we have the opportunity to welcome an unwavering balance between the Divine Feminine principle and Divine Masculine principle.
 
This balance has a strong potential to manifest itself and become realized in the collective consciousness in 2024 and beyond.
 
This will reveal itself through qualities of more grace, compassion, gentleness, patience, flexibility, wisdom, beauty, authenticity, creativity, and abundance, as well as more acceptance, forgiveness, nurturing, fertility, accessibility, kindness, healing, and unconditional Love.
 
What’s being asked of us now is to create the space within our mind, body, and energy field to better support and sustain these qualities and to allow them to flourish.
 
For each remaining day of 2023, I invite you to find a few minutes to create space in the following way:
1. Close your eyes. Take several deep breaths to help you center, then place your right hand over your heart, and place your left hand on top of the right hand.
2. Ask your I AM Presence/Spirit how you can support and love them throughout your day, the way she/he has supported and loved you always.
3. Listen to the silence in between the thoughts. This is where the answers from your Spirit will begin to reveal themselves. If the mind is unable to understand or receive a direct answer, simply allow your mind to bask in the silence for a moment.
4. Express gratitude to your mind for being willing to embrace the stillness within you.
5. Express gratitude to your Spirit for loving you unconditionally.
6. Open your eyes and express gratitude for each of your senses—your gifts of sight, sound, taste, touch, and smell.
7. As you go throughout the rest of your day, imagine periodically what it would feel like if your heart was smiling.
 
A Time to Heal
 
The opportunity to heal our deep and unresolved traumas is now being fully realized, in our personal lives and for all humanity.
 
Growth and healing that once seemed impossible to the rational mind are now becoming a normal part of life.
 
Healing occurs because of allowing ourselves to return to a state of peace.
 
Wherever there is peace, we can know that flow, ease, Love, wholeness, joy, creativity, and abundance will reside.
 
If any of the following are attached to our expectations of healing: Fixing something, getting rid of something, controlling/forcing something to happen, blaming something, hiding or denying something, not allowing ourselves to feel something—that makes it far more challenging to experience a healing.
 
Allowing peace to be our top priority creates an opening for lasting healing to occur.
 
True peace is the foundation for creating a world of unity, Love, and abundance for all.
 
We are seeing many countries around the world now breaking away from the old ideologies that have promoted intercultural separation and disconnection. There’s a collective priority now that is laying the foundations for a much brighter future ahead for all, rather than for only a select few.
 
There may be a healthy skepticism in our minds as to whether all this is really happening, because of all the separations that our minds have been conditioned to see in the world.
 
This is completely understandable, considering that it used to take decades or centuries before any real change became visible.
 
However, as things continue to evolve more quickly, it’s becoming easier to notice the changes happening all around us.
 
In our personal lives, the current energies are creating an opportunity for us to transcend the old stories we once created for ourselves, which prevented us from healing.
 
Some of these stories include:
Believing that we must believe that every thought we have is true
Believing that the mind needs to operate from fear and victim consciousness
Believing that we need the approval of anyone other than ourselves
Believing that we are broken and need fixing
Believing in lack, and not having enough
Believing that we are not allowed to feel our feelings
Believing that we are misunderstood, and that no one can understand us
Believing that we need something outside of ourselves to make us happy (a romantic soul partner, a certain lifestyle, a specific body type, etc.)

All these stories, which were created by the mind’s tendency toward self-protection, have the opportunity to be resolved now, so that we can return to the peace that has always been underneath it all.

Peace is who we are at our core.
 
As our inner stories come to the surface to be healed and resolved, it’s important to give ourselves permission to feel all our feelings, without judging ourselves.
 
Every thought, emotion, and feeling we have ever experienced deserves to be acknowledged, and to receive our unconditional Love.
 
With this new awareness, imagine the opening that will take place for healing to be fully realized in our lives!
 
 
A Special Time to Be Present
 
The holiday season is an excellent time to practice being more present in the moment.
 
When we are present, we transcend time and operate from the most expanded and empowered version of ourselves.
 
Practicing presence allows us to be open to miracles, insights, opportunities, synchronicities, and blessings that we may otherwise not have noticed.
 
Being present helps us to transcend the illusions of time.
 
It’s from this space of no-time (a place of non-attachment) that our greatest, most desired intentions can manifest.
 
Here are some simple things we can do to anchor ourselves in the present:
Spend more time exploring and enjoying nature
Express gratitude often throughout the day
Sing, dance, knit, or find other ways to express ourselves creatively
Notice and be mindful of our five senses—taking quiet moments to notice the sounds, shapes, colors, tastes, textures, and scents all around us
Have a big belly laugh daily
Look into the eyes of everyone we encounter throughout the day, and smile

It’s in the present moment that most of our freedom is experienced, because we are no longer bound to the illusions and habits of the past or worries about the future.

Consciously choosing to ground ourselves in the present moment leads to a life lived from a state of grace, flow, and ease.
 
Welcoming the Support of the Universe
 
As this year comes to a completion, this is an excellent time to reflect and get clear on what we’d like more of in our lives.
 
Here are some questions to ask ourselves, to get greater clarity on what we want to create more of:
“What does my life look like when I am at peace and happy?”
“What are some things I enjoyed doing as a child that I can integrate into my life now?”
“What actions or situations feel expansive and good to me?”
Answering these questions can help us get clear on what we really want to experience more of.
 
Once we have that clarity, it becomes easier to take action, and to ask for support.
 
Most of us hesitate to ask for support from others, either because we’re unclear on the kind of support we desire, or because we were conditioned to believe that getting what we want takes something away from someone else, creating a burden for them.
 
There’s also the belief that, “If I ask for help from others, they’ll expect me to return the favor.”
 
Life is about sharing this human experience with our sisters and brothers. And an important aspect of the human experience is being part of a community.
 
We are here to share our blessings with one another. If you are surrounded by people who do not want to support or help you, it’s usually a reflection of how you’ve been treating yourself or others.
 
Are you generous with your support towards yourself and others? Do you offer support to others without expecting anything in return?
 
Does it feel easy and fun for you to share your blessings with the world?
 
When you can fully answer “yes” to these questions, you will notice that support is abundantly available in your life.
 
When we express what we desire with the Universe and those around us by asking for support, we open ourselves up to receiving opportunities we might not have had a chance to experience otherwise.
 
The Universe wants to give us everything we’ve ever desired for ourselves. It’s just a matter of how open we are to receiving it.
 
If you ever find yourself feeling unsupported, find an opportunity to support someone else, even if it’s someone you don’t know very well.
 
This act of kindness will shift the energies for you. It will open your mind, eyes, and heart to knowing that life is much more than hiding or separating ourselves from others.
 
It’s about living, loving, and sharing our gifts and our presence openly.
 
Enjoying the Magic of the Season
 
Often, this time of year offers a unique glimpse into what direction we are moving in as a whole, in our collective consciousness.
 
This happens most easily this time of year, when most people are more open to the magic and wonder that is actually available to us at any time of year.
 
This often allows people to put aside their differences, while practicing more kindness, care, and compassion.
 
Because of this, each year during this season, we all move up another step on the ladder of consciousness. We begin to move further out of the world of separation, and into a world of peace, love, and respect for all life.
 
If you are someone who has closed yourself off from the extra magic available to us this time of year, don’t be too hard on yourself! Just know that if you desire it, it’s available to you.
 
During this holiday season, let’s love and adore the three-year-old child within us, and in every person we meet.
 
This is the part of us that just wants to be loved, accepted, and nurtured.
 
We as adults now get to offer this love to our inner child, and the inner child of all those we encounter.
 
Happy Holidays!
 
Till next time,
 
With love,
