Subject: [K-list] Once there was a Celebration of Life

Based on the information that Christmas was not 'invented' until 
the 4th Century AD and the main purpose was to rival and subjugate 
the rival pagan rituals is it any wonder that so much distress 
starts to come out of the bodies of people around Christmas at the 
absolute farce of the whole 'celebration' and the lie that has been 
perpetuated.
 
Particularly as the Winter/Summer solstice is so close, its energy 
will bring up in bodies the deep genetic memories of the 
celebrations of the natural life cycles of the body and the world 
in which it lives .. mother earth and father sun. The celebrations 
that eventually disappeared .. repressed.
 
The growth of the Christian tradition saw the demise of the so 
called pagan rituals that celebrated the life cycles of the planet, 
the surrounding planets and the sun. Rituals that celebrated the 
life and death cycles that sustained life on the earth .. the 
ultimate 'mother' of every person.
 
Solstice ceremonies that recognised a much bigger picture than the 
one presented by the Holy Roman Empire which was intent on 
maintaining  its hold on the beliefs of its followers. And with the 
control of its followers, came political and economic advantage.
 
Pagan rituals became outlawed. People stopped acknowledging the 
gods in every living place and piece of the earth. There was to be 
only 'One True God'. People lost touch with their roots .. quite 
literally. The earth they stood on and the air they breathed became 
the property of an intermediary. That was the only way they could 
communicate with their god.
 
The symbols of Christmas, as we know it, originate from the Middle 
Ages.
 
One story of the tradition of the Christmas tree was that it 
originated in Germany with the Paradeisbaum, or Paradise Tree in 
the 1590s. With December 24,  Adam and Eve day in the medieval 
church calendar, plays about the couple's fall from grace were 
performed to highlight Christ's birth as the coming of the 'second 
Adam' to redeem the failure of the original. A main set in the 
play, the paradise tree, a fir tree, became popular in homes 
especially after the plays were banned.
 
 From Germany the tradition of the tree spread to other European 
countries.
 
The body remembers and each Christmas the mirror is reflected .. 
of loss of connection with mother earth and the death blow dealt to 
native genetic origins.
 
The dichotomy of the festival that celebrates the birth of a child 
who will then be 'crucified' 3- 4 months later to 'redeem' them for 
their 'sins'.. even though in the eyes of the church no person is 
ever good enough and most of the 'saints' had lives of poverty or 
endured dreadful deaths at the hands of those who would later 
beatify them
 
the senseless waste of one child's life as the sacrificial 'lamb' 
and the millions of others who shared the same fate in the name of 
control and prime real estate
 
and underneath all of that ...
 
is the memory of when  sacrifice at the Solstice was made to 
celebrate life and death and encourage growth whilst acknowledging 
the completeness and wholeness of all cycles and inter 
connectedness of all creatures to a vast array of 'gods' No one god 
was greater than another.
 
The body remembers ...
 
The energy released at  the Solstice and at Christmas triggers the 
memories of a very deeply encoded memory of fire, blood, sexuality, 
and life force surging in connection with  the pulse of the 
heartbeat of the planet in its purest form.
 
The life force connection sought to affirm existence of more than 
flesh and blood and of life beyond the mortal plane..
 
the life force that was attempted to be harnessed by control of 
the mind whilst ignoring the elemental fact that the body responds 
so innately to the energy of the planet on which it lives.
 
The body is joined by an ether umbilical cord to earth, sun, moon, 
and the stars from whence it came and will return .. at solstice 
with the changing of the seasons ...the body remembers
 
Flashing electric lights, tinsel and a tree in a pot shedding its 
life are poor imitations.
 
With the birth of the Christmas tradition came the birth of 
intolerance for anyone who was different... any other religions who 
had a different world view.
 
The Pope announced only this year that people who died and not 
catholic  were no longer prevented from going to heaven as there 
had been a rethink on the dogma  that had been in place for  a very 
long time and had previously stated that they would not go to heaven.
 
The intolerance of Catholic's for others who were not of the faith 
can only be gauged by the lack of tolerance for Catholics by other 
religions.
 
The old 'my god is greater than your god' ...
 
Never more alive and celebrated than at Christmas.
 
Any one with genetic blood of Muslim, Jew, Buddhist  is going to 
feel the isolation and separateness of not being part of the 
festive celebrations
 
Spiritual ego given birth to and embodied by the celebration of 
one of the most successful marketing campaigns ever mounted.
 
The silent code of superiority and elitism that hallmarks the 
'good catholic' who believes that if life is lived according to the 
guidelines set down by the church there will be an eternal reward 
.. what about the rest of the population?
 
that  doing 'good'  will bring its own rewards that any other 
religion is 'pagan' or 'heathen' ... the 'poor' things .. the 
followers of evil ..
 
Ego born of this thinking can justify any action and it has ... 
The crusades, the holy wars are still being fought, but now the 
arena is global.
 
People sending light and love .. trying to heal other .. 
projecting on others they have only met in cyber space and trying 
to get into their bodies .. are rooted in the ego of 'I'm better 
than you' and "I will do whatever in my power to control you" .. a 
very familiar litany.
