As you survey the landscape of your inner mind, traversing the endless sprinklings of a million stars, can you see a light, a tiny light growing and expanding in the far distance? As you draw closer to it, can you see the radiance expanding until you find yourself looking at the same thing the others gathered there are also seeing? Can you see what they see? That tiny light is a gathering of a hundred bright angels encircling around a precious beautiful baby.
Stay there for a moment, let that beauty fill your heart and mind with the wonderful sight. Let it filtrate all your senses, wordlessly, with the essence of all that is beautiful, holy, wonderful, perfect. Let the words fall away, and listen. Can you hear them? Can you hear the top notes of the angelic choir. You are in the circle now, you are standing there with them. Can you see this radiant baby? His eyes are closed, yet he seems to be lighted from within. Have you ever seen such awesome love right before your eyes?
The world is at war, but when wasn't the world at war? Even then, it was immersed in heinous crimes at the time of His birth whenever that really was. Yet, despite that or perhaps because of it, heaven sent a special baby to remind us that the spirit is awakened in those who are free, humble and as spontaneous as a child. Then, as now, children were being killed by the dark forces.
How terribly ironic that at the birth of Moses, the dark powers were so threatened by the power of such innocence that they killed the children, and also at the birth of Jesus. Now? What does it mean now that "the child" is in peril, everywhere? Could it mean that a great leader will be born now? Could it mean that the time of the ages has come and a great shift is going to occur again and with it the birth of a kind of savior who will unite us all, under heaven's banner of real love? Isn't it time that we awaken and realize that we are all loved equally and inside our hearts we can all traverse the starry night to the center of all that is and see the birth and rejoice at the awesome beauty of that luminescent child?
It is the age of the child. Today, this very moment, it is the age of the child - the child within all of us. That baby seen in the midst of angels is also within you - as you realize - and is you. As you embrace that beautiful radiant baby within your mind and imagination, you embrace that child in all people. As you allow him/her to grow up, you are transformed. You are a different adult because of him/her than you think you are now.
That imaginal experience will not leave you unaffected. Allow yourself the full emotional experience of it and then allow the love to flow out of it and spill out into your world and our world.
