“Each person can, and must at some time, awaken to their true nature to live a life of freedom and conscious cooperation with the highest good.” Ellen Grace O’Brian

As we move through Advent toward celebrations of Christmas, we hear a lot about the coming of an anointed, prophetic, way-showing, healing, wise figure. We may think of this “coming” as Jesus’ arrival in history and the courageous and compassionate life that he lived. Or, we may think of this coming as a return of those Christ-qualities that we find in the stories about Jesus. Perhaps we are hoping for the coming of the Christ Consciousness in each of our lives, that is, we are waiting and working for the day when we each wake up to our divine potential and live in the power of goodness and love. Whether we are remembering the coming of Jesus and honoring his example of justice-love, or we are looking forward to a day when all of humanity finds the divine Spark within… the same divine Spark Christians identify in Jesus, we are all affirming hope for humanity, the possibility of peace, the joy that comes with justice, and the life of love that is God ordained. May our Advent-ure lead us all to a profound experience of Christmas.
