The Mythic Christmas

12/31/17 • 41 min

The story of the birth of Jesus is one of going through the deepest darkness and finding fresh radiance. That radiance comes from the courage to walk towards the things that scare us. Jesus' birth coincides with the return of the light to the world and the renewing of life. By taking on the Christ Consciousness---the personification of the Presence of God---we become the light of the world.

If we find ourselves in a dark place right now, know that the dark place is where grace goes to be reborn.

The Christmas Radiance

Luke tells the story of the birth of Jesus as a message of hope; when we think there is no turning around, keep going. When the angel Gabriel appears to Zacharias, he questions it. When the angel appears to Mary, she is willing and simply asks, "What must I do?"

Mary and Joseph represent what must change for a new shift to take place. They went through great hardships because of Jesus---they were cast out of their tribe, lost their privileges, and were rejected. Like Mary, we are all pregnant with the Christ, and we can choose to have faith and hope and be willing to go through some darkness in order to experience the new radiance.

Transforming Lives through the Power of Vision

The best day of our life is the day that we claim it as our own. To take responsibility for the direction that our lives will take.

Everybody needs a mission statement.

Goals and Dreams. Where will we be five years from today? What will we do with the time we have over the next five years? What are our top five values? Research shows the importance of writing down our goals and consistently revisiting them.

"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. You are the guy who'll decide where to go." -- Dr. Seuss

Our imaginations are just the preview to life's coming attractions. -- Einstein

If we don't have a dream, how can our dream come true?

A goal is a dream set to paper. Don't just think it---ink it!
