Steemit! Thanks for your attention. I am writing on two groups of people. I called the first group, the Christmas Seekers and the other group, the Christmas Victims.
It is my interest to mention that, my writing is not to create bigotry in any beliefs, creeds, opinions or understanding. I am speaking or writing not for anybody's belief, opinion or doctrine. And interestingly, I don't have a doctrine neither do I believe in one. I am just GRACE.
I am writing or speaking for the truth. One thing I know is that the truth always stands erect. It is invariably clear when all emotions and sentiments are taken away and observe with clear analytical mind. Remember, a man can never do anything against the truth, but for the truth. Also, in nowise am I writing against or for the content of the images used. They are just for illustrations.
Critical observations and retrospection with effective attention will reveal that, in the month of December, things change quickly. Albeit, the change begins in ending of November and becomes obvious in the middle of December. The breeze, the weather, and everything change. The energy generated and liberated by the universe changes. This is the beginning of the division; the Christmas Seekers and the Christmas Victims.
In December, we enter the month of Christmas. The Seekers do things differently, but with understanding, wisdom and conviction. They know what to do, when to do it, how to do it and why they do it. They know and understand seasonal changes. To them, Christmas is not just a name. It is not only about birth of the Christ, not about a family: Joseph, the virgin Mary and their child, Immanuel. There is a deeper meaning to this yearly celebration. It is spiritual event. It is a gifted period from Jehovah Himself.
The Seekers grope for the truth behind this spiritual ritual, and become enlightened finally. They look for the truth and the hidden understanding, what is secret and the speciality feature about this event. Have you ever asked why almost all people sing almost same songs? eat almost same food? praise same Lord? Don't just console yourself with the common phrase "oh it is Christmas and normal" No. That is what a Christmas Seeker should do for it is written; seek and you shall find.
Put aside what you have been told, what people made you believed years ago, and diligently do research, pray and seek for yourself. Seekers seek from without and most importantly from WITHIN. These I called Christmas Seekers.
The monks hide themselves in caves, forest, grottos, on mountains and in other quiet places to observe rituals and prayers. They fast and pray and connect into divine realms.
The mystics clothing themselves with fasting and meditations this time. They observe in silence and in meditation with the purpose of harmonizing with the universal energy and the natural laws. They really understand the seasonal changes.
The religious leaders and people. Those who really understand this season restrain themselves from too much merry making. Most of them abode at grottos, mountains, sacred places to say prayers, study and meditate in order to make break through. They seek divine interventions from God and the Holy Spirit. This is one of the times praises, thanksgiving and adorations are always given to the Company of Heaven. I am not saying you must only be at the aforementioned places, but how you celebrate it.
Every message and conversation is about this season. It centres on the Son starting from the parents, His birth, signs before and after His birth, including His destiny helpers commonly among them; Balthasar of Arabia, Melchior of Persia, and Gaspar of India (THE THREE WISE MEN or THE MAGI). These conversations about the season creates a pure God-like evnvironment.
The Christmas Victims, on the other hand, are unified in everything. Their activities are one; in likeness and direction. To them, Christmas is just a festival time. Time to merry, party, drink, sex and to have all forms of enjoyment. In fact, all their activities are conversely to the Christmas Seekers. The above mentioned activities of the Victims build the flesh and not the spirit. The flesh can not produce anything on its own without the spirit. Hence, it reaps corruption.
Having said that, I should add this; enjoyment is good in its nature. But do not defile yourself in the process. The process should be carried out with understanding since little knowledge is much disastrous than being completely ignorant.
Man is spirit like God. Until the average man becomes conscious of this truth, his innate and inherent God-given nature, he will continue to be compromised into a state of misery, misfortune, accidents, peril and destruction. This is why we often observe such events during Christmas.
My interest to state that, Christmas does not bring destruction, accidents, danger, limitations, misery, deviants, fornication, abuse and all sort of immorally mannerisms. However, it is that, abuse is acceptable where purpose and understanding are illusions.
It is very important to add that, there is always greater energy in the universe in times like this. It is universal phenomenon. Make your wish and your heart desires shall be met, for they that love it shall eat its fruits. The Seekers know this, but the Victims lack this truth. Lack of knowledge, wisdom and understanding the people perished. This statement is still flesh because it is the Word of God.
Your decision to make. The category you choose for yourself is what your Creator will give you. God is Good and always Good. He is never biased.
Fascinating enough, each of these groups is attainable. You can learn or unlearn any of them. In your court, is the ball.
God be our strength
