How do we best remember the divine light of which we are a part? We have to go into the silence of the night. It is in calmness and stillness.
It is fine to give gifts and to party but this kind of stimulation is often antithetical to the real meaning of the season. So much of American Christmas has been turned into the idolatrous worship of Mammon. We are worshiping the golden calf rather than enjoying the reverence and peace which our oneness with existence would have us become more aware.

How many UUs are born again?
Osho says:
“Once you are aware, you start seeking and searching for a second birth.
And the second birth becomes possible only through meditation.
The first birth is through the mother, the second birth is through meditation:
hence in ancient scriptures, meditation is called the real mother. Jesus says to his disciples,
“Unless you are born again you will not enter the Kingdom of God.”
In the East, the person who has attained to God is called dwija, twice born.
The second birth releases the fragrance.”
And the second birth becomes possible only through meditation.

Third week of advent - Wednesday
A person was told when she went to Alcoholics Anonymous that she should be careful because if she stuck with the program it would mess up her drinking big time.
The same can be true of advent. If you get into the spirit of advent and begin remembering the birth of the divine among humanity, it will mess up your life big time.
You will surrender your ego joyfully because it no longer makes sense to you. You will become one with peace and bliss, and should you relapse back to the insanity of the illusions and drama of the ego world, you will readily recognize your error and return to the path of Love.
Christmas is a time of miracles. In the hushed silence of the season we can faintly hear the angels sing and we become seduced into humming along. As we hum along we will find ourselves bursting into song and with our sisters and brothers sing together a mighty song.
