Before Enlightenment,

After Enlightenment,
Chop wood, Carry water!
If we believe in the Hearafter, we must believe in the Beforehere.
What was it about the beforehere that compeled us to be born into humanity for this “Mystical Experience”. Many humans through TM or mind altering drugs or exercizes, (Yoga, TaiChi, etc.) Are seekers of Mystical Experience. Being awake to the here and now might be the highst of Mystical experiences available for this 3rd dimentional plane. Everything else is just avoidance of this here and now by expecting something greater, lead to gold. Our Journey of transformation should lead us back to our beginnings. Follow the heart full of love and distracton or the mind cluttered with nonsense. Child or Adult Someone watches over us. The first step into the Abbys, Something comes up to meet the alchemist in us all.
well its preety wise..but putting an illusion will make her more strong..i guess….it wud make a strong point to her that it doesnt matter.if santa clause is real or not..these feeling,emotion,even through imgationation are making them smile ,exited and happy .u percept through imagination.and wen they know that santa clause is not for real…ii guess soon everyobody undrestand that it doent matter if he is real or unreal..even things like..if god is real or real..if u trust ur feeling…it doesn matter..cuz its evrythings is in right place…its christmas so doesnt matters if santa clause comes and makes u so exited and happy and have gifts..u sud be happy abt good things…….its good that some kids knew it earlier and these kids are actors of thier emotions too…teaching and learning from each other…so i guess its all good ..
and u sud let kids discover and break thier own illusion as they grow up….use thier imagtination……so its all right..
MERRY CHRISTMAS……

He/she does watch after chidren.
And after grown-ups. In many ways. Just believe it.
:)
Um. That’s scary.
Now that’s a message EVERY child should receive early in their development.
…be sure that we will leave a blue sky over your heads and a green land under your feet…
‘…. and taking care of you and protecting you. Make dreams and put all you stength and efforts to achieve them. Never be discouraged by criticism or draw-backs. It is part of the journey. Enjoy it and do not be … anxious to grow up. Enjoy every minute of childhood and … Merry Christmas’.
Love,
Thelma
I have talked a lot about being tolerant to other cultures and religions, both private and at work.Humanitarian values are the most important to be reintroduced.
I was just chatting to someone about the exact subject of the lie that we tell our children about ‘Santa’. I told both my children when they were about 4 years old.
When we look at the current client, here in Britain our news is full of redundancies, evictions and the like – the reality is that some families will have to cut back this Christmas – but if the children are still under the illusion of the Santa story, then it is going to be even harder for the parents to explain why Santa will not be delivering every item on the child’s list.
But I feel at the moment the light is illuminating a lot of the illusions that we have been under for a very long time – so all is well.
So very relevant to the original question as to the one message of peace we would tell our children, and considering the illusions which have been spread to validate war, famine and desease, – the message would be –
‘Don’t always believe what you are being told, unless you feel that it is the truth’.
Love, Light & Rainbows.

My daughter, who is six, does not believe in Santa Claus. The reason I never tried to convince her – never lied to her about Santa Claus – is this: I figured there are enough lies in the world already, lies that children, in growing up, must discover and which often cause feelings of great disillusionment. I didn’t want to put so much energy into creating an illusion that would eventually, inevitably, have to be shattered. Rather, I thought, why not teach her from the start about the true “miracles” that permeate the world in which we live. God, for example. I don’t think that children need to “grow up” before they can speak the language of spirituality. I talk to her often and ask her openly about her conception and experiences of God in her life. And unicorns: I teach her that no one really knows – that they are so prevalent in the arts across many cultures that there is always the possibility that such a create did once exist and is now perhaps extinct…or perhaps not totally extinct. Like the Loch Ness “Monster”, who may well exist but is definitely not a “monster,” if anything, simply a surviving species of dinosaur, as yet undiscovered. So, I think there is enough real “magic” in the world without having to invent a Santa Claus to fulfill that role. There are, likewise, enough real heroes without having to lie about a fat man in a red velvet suit squeezing down the chimney at Winter Solstice. Martin Luther King, for example, one of my daughter’s favorite role models. We read and talk a lot about him, and celebrate his birthday with just as much reverence as we pay to Christmas. Mother Theresa, Gandhi, Che Gurevara, the real St. Nicholas… these and more I use to fill the gap that would otherwise be filled by that “jolly old elf.” She is six but she knows who each of these people are and can talk at length about the history of their lives and the many great deeds they did.
Just yesterday she asked me, “Mom, why do people lie to their kids about Santa Claus? Why do they work so hard to try to make their kids believe something that isn’t true?” Everywhere we go this time of year, people are forever asking her, as they do of all little children: “So, what is Santa bringing you this year?” or “Did you tell Santa yet what you want for Christmas?” At these sorts of questions she expresses a certain exasperation if not an all out annoyance.
So, her question: Why do parents perpetuate this lie? My answer: Because everyone, even adults, wants to believe in something that is bigger than life, something that reaches beyond the boundaries of everyday reality – something or someone beyond this world. Many people, even many who profess to be of this or that religion, don’t really believe in God anymore. And they certainly don’t believe in angels, fairies, unicorns, the spirits that dwell in the forest and inhabit the trees…. And where there is no belief in anything “magical” or divine or transcendent, there is this big empty space in their hearts. They try to fill up that empty space with Santa Claus.
“Oh, I see!” so my daughter says, “So Santa Claus is sort of like a god to them then?”
“Yes, I guess you could say that,” I reply, “At least here in the United States he is their god, and an appropriate god too: a sort of god of consumerism and marketing, the god of “give-me-this” and “I-want-that.”
“Oh,” she says, “Like how all the little kids go to the mall to tell that man dressed like Santa Claus all the things they want even though they already have so much more than they need? How they say “give me this” and give me that” even though they have thousands of toys at home and some little kids have none?”
“Yea, like that,” I say.
There is a long silence in the back seat of the car. Then, suddenly, a burst of laughter. “Well then, I’m going to call him The God of Give-Me,” she says.
Peace on earth as it is in heaven.
Happy Holidays!
