Upon this longest winter Night, The light of day eludes our sight

 As fear and dread enshrouds our mind, surprise of the Celestial kind

 Draws our thoughts a to turn with, the promise of  better days begin

 All at once the visions clear, we’ve been living lives of fear

The sights we know to be our truth,

 Have been fixed in place for years

 The tales been told to all the youth

 Eventually ends with us in tears

The ancients claim that long ago, the Moon begat the Sun

Our mind of logic says this ain’t so, such a task cannot be done

With this reveal all men refute the tales and lore of time gone by

 Generations move along with intent to  live the lie

What  was once revered and respected

Had soon become feeble rants

 Now the tales of fools rejected

 Wisdom’s lure the mind…

Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa,Boxing Day, Ōmisoka, & New Years Eve/Day all have a significant impact on the mood of people around the world for about 30-45 days. The Holiday Season is known for spreading joy and merriment. At times even the most dour of curmudgeons can be jovial and accommodating. This may be directly related to the fear of being visited by the 3 ghosts as Ebeneezer Scrooge was, but I think not.

 You see, there are millions of people that celebrate these holidays that are not very religious. If based solely on the dogma of the day, they would more than likely ignore it. By…

There are million of people in this world that feel life comes at them with little or no control and they have no choice but accept the conditions before them as victims and lament about the grief and pain they experience.

There are also millions that believe they are in total control of their lives and are competing with the the rest of the world.

Then there are those that feel they are uber-responsible for what happens around them, and it is their responsibility to take care of others.

Well I believe that all of this is true and none of this is true. new age, new thought philosophy preaches the Unity of all of life. A few years back a book hit the market explaining the LAW OF ATTRACTION.

This “LAW” details how what we believe materializes in our life. This validates the fact that we have control and…

The greatest illusion that enshrouds us is that all things are individual and apart from one another. This gives us the perspective of isolationism, helplessness and need.

The belief that all things and creatures are individual entities unto themselves causes us to seek out others for companionship and validation while competing for the “things” we believe we need to sustain us and finally defending ourselves and shunning those that would do us harm or make us less than we see ourselves to be.

Once we come to the realization that all things are ONE THING and not apart from but a part of everything, life changes as fear is replaced by love and contribution replaces competition.

Spiritually and physically all of life is only 1 life with unlimited parts and components. It is the same as how our bodies have limbs, blood, organs, bacteria, enzymes, and millions of living organisms…
