O Espírito do Natal
O Espírito do Natal é um ser de grande luz e mestria Búdica. Lanello falou desse grande ser e da sua luz:
O ser conhecido como o Espírito do Natal veio para falar sobre o nascimento de Jesus Cristo, no contexto da hora das maiores trevas que a natureza tem durante o ano. O anúncio do aparecimento da estrela do Cristo no solstício de inverno é um drama espetacular do cosmos e ensina que na noite mais escura do anseio humano,
surgiu a estrela da esperança e do nascimento do Salvador.
Apresento o Espírito do Natal para que compreendais que é perfeitamente possível, a mais de um filho de Deus, participar de um serviço sagrado, compartilhar o propósito divino sobre um galho curvado, sobre o ponto focal de um cristal de quartzo que envolve um mundo de propósitos ígneos. Queridos corações, venho, então, como o Espírito do Natal, enquanto aguardais a vinda do ser que conheceis como Papai Noel.
Remember the heart of a child—your child, yourself—thinking about the coming of Santa and how he would enter the house, and how you would leave him cookies and milk and perhaps even a snack for the reindeer. Remember how, in fullest belief, because your parents had told you, you entered into that Spirit of Santa. And remember also the disappointment upon learning that Santa was not real.
But this is not true! Santa is real. And I am here to tell you that Santa Claus himself is the typical vessel of the Spirit of Christmas, the one who embodies this very Presence that I have entered.
It is wrong to tell children that Santa is not real. It is right to explain to them the Spirit of Christmas is indeed a person—a person made real in God, a person who is a cosmic being, who fills the hearts of the people with the anticipation of the greatest gift of all, the gift of personal Christhood.
Those things that bring delight to children—games and toys and things and rings in stockings—beloved hearts, originally the gifts given to the child of every heart were intended to enhance the child’s perception and realization of that Person of Christ. When you think about the gifts that are given these days, you realize that some gifts do assist the individual in a greater sense of identity, while others adorn the outer person and tend to create more maya of idolatry. And thus, attaching importance and attention to the outer self, the individual loses the great opportunity of this hour to truly enter into the heart of that cosmic being known as the Spirit of Christmas.
Therefore, beloved ones, understand that this Spirit embodies the collective consciousness of Christhood of the entire Spirit of the Great White Brotherhood—of all ascended beings and angels and masters, cosmic hosts of the LORD who are that Christ. Let us realize, then, that in all symbols there is Reality; in archetypes there is the original pattern of the image made perfect out of Christ; and in Santa Claus himself is the lingering hope in all that the figure of the Cosmic Christ will come to bring the true joy, the joy of the heart filled with love.[1]
