Nativity.

[Guest guest]

Whether man or woman, we all have a love-child to birth.

Each soul is a manger for the Christ to be held in surety

within. This child is birthed in desire and brought forth in

passion. It re-creates your body of love as it grows, for its

light transforms the world. This inner creation is also an

absorption of all that cannot be consumed by self-will.

The soul must become the womb of Mary again. Mary knew

that she could not hold her Jesus within her, that is why she

flowered in grace, that the seed of her willingness to be

healed could flower, as he, who was to become the rose of

her reality. She was never a surrogate to her love, and her

child knew that love from the moment it emerged into the

world.

So to, does the recognition of this love, arrive from the grace

you consent to be your presence and remembrance. The

womb of your being must be gently warmed by a divine

breath you allow to open it to. The child must be awakened

to this healing touch, before it can perform the miracle of

transformation. It is stirred into perfection by the love you

give to it, while yet unborn, that it may manifest as the

countenance of love in the world.

Just as in an earthly birth, there will be mid-wives who take

on the image of guidance, that your soul be delivered from

labor. These guides may appear in your inner world or in

the outer. They may be celestial beings or the natural world

that speaks to you. There are teachers everywhere, some

human, some arrive as arrangements of circumstance, that

urge you to see your way in the pre-dawn dark, as the soul

broods upon its own becoming. Without this spirit of

guidance the birthing will be painful and the parturition

between darkness and light a needless travail. Follow no

path that asks you to sacrifice your right of parentage.

Mary herself was guided by the angel of her self-disclosure.

A spirit that appeared as other, but was her own longing for

unfoldment revealed to her awareness. So to, will the

fecundating of this love you nourish, call to itself the

guidance that will be the nursing of its delivery. Be still and

watch for the signs that will foretell of your time. If we close

the heart to itself, the fruit will be born with no sweetness,

and shall hang unripe on the branch. The sweetness of your

self-love will turn bitterness to the issue of love itself.

The soul is your own nativity, waiting for the Mary of your

heart to nurture it. Each one of us, has a Jesus to be born

within them, that we might be that bringing forth of Christ

awareness. This gentle way of the Mother, will so love your

presence within Her, that She will redeem your wounds into

everlasting healing. You shall emerge as Jesus did, from the

cave of this enclosing world, unconfined. This is the way of

all saviors. We reveal the light of Self, to become the light of

the world.

Mary was a gardener long before Jesus moved within her........ I want to tell you all about her.

How she ran to the olive tree

and gave birth alone far from the village,

how the angel of her simple heart

stood guard over the birth of her love.

How that love can be born in you also,

you who are the child of Mary

and the womb of your own Jesus.

Be impatient with infertility,

water the desert you are in with the tears of Mary

until you bloom.

Love

eric.
