Peace on earth and Goodwill to All Wo/men no matter what you celebrate.
It is interesting the spirit of graciousness that seems to flow from most everyone at this time of year.
All of a sudden people are happy and friendly and there are lots of smiles all around, we suddenly all become "One" in this glorious Xmas Bubble.
I love it I am not complaining for a minute, I am Just sayin ..
The idea of Xmas for many is such an Anchor to childhood. Dreams and Fantasies of Father Christmas and his Large Jolly Tummy, kindly soul who works hard to pump out all the presents in time for all the good girls and Boys to get their pressies in time.
Elf's in Green Tunics with striped stockings and Fairy's covered in beautiful sparkling pixie dust. The smell of Hot Mince pies or Gingerbread, The sumptuous taste of Trifle or Hot apple Pie and the jingling of the bells, that remind you of the frolicking reindeer hurtling through the sky with Father Christmas and the elfs delivering to all the good girls and boys ...
Quite an Induction isn't it ..
It is as if we are in all in a mass altered state for a few days out of the year and on the 25th of December we reach Anchor Point. The exact Peak of our State as we have induced ourselves into this exotic mass Trance ... I am wondering if this is what the 60's was about and if so maybe this is why Timothy Leary wrote books about advocating Acid.
Being a curious Mind, many thoughts dance around in my head as I indulge in just one more mince pie ..
Why do we not create this state of Euphoria in other times of normal life, would it not be convenient to change states at the drop of a hat and imagine all the things I have just described and get to Anchor point alone or with others and Maintain the state for as long as we want, when we want.
Is it that we only "allow" ourselves this indulgence at Christmas.
Do we not deserve it at any other time or is it something else.
Yes indeed, there are so many anchors Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic, Gustatory and Olfactory Representations reinforcing our Associations to the "Magic of Christmas" and if we decided to not participate it wouldn't have the internal effect on us.
Well it is quite nice to get caught up in it .....
Yes sure, influence has much to do with it although at some point we decide if we will be influenced... I'm just saying...
Is Christmas just another Matrix an Illusion how many people carry the original Religious Associations in their practices as before, is Christmas just a Retailers dream a time when they can sell more than ever as people are on such an emotional high and so easily influenced.
The word Christmas doesn't actually mean all it represents to each of us, for example my Idea of Christmas may be completely different to yours depending on cultural differences, where I grew up, Family Traditions, Values, Religious Beliefs and more ..
However strangely, at this time of year we seem easily able to overcome all of these differences and focus on what is the same about us.
The fact that we all want to share this Holiday in peace love and Unity.
What are your own thought about this just curious... please Chime in.
