At Christmas we celebrate the birth of the infant child Jesus. This happy event has its mystical counterpart in the birth of Christ in our own soul. This again is a mystical way of describing the birth of a new life within us, which is no less than the life of God.
Christmas is not in tinsel and lights and outward show.The secret lies in an inner glow. It’s lighting a fire inside the heart. Good will and joy a vital part. It’s higher thought and a greater plan. It’s glorious dream in the soul of man. – Wilfred A. Peterson
however tempted you may be to judge any situation, and to determine your response _by_ judging it. Focus your mind only on this:

The overarching purpose is to return to the Father by reclaiming your sonship, by recognizing your own inner divinity. Aside from that, each of you has a purpose for choosing to be on earth at this time in your particular body-mind. You came here for a reason.pg56

My object in introducing this work to the reader is to correct some of the evils that flesh is heir to. During a long experience in the treatment of disease, I have labored to find the causes of so much misery in the world. By accident,

All I am expected to do to manifest the Good that is for me is to tell the truth about what and where Good is.
If man, or all, is Spirit,
then I am Spirit.
If Spirit cannot be in poverty, I cannot be in poverty.
If Spirit cannot be burdened, I cannot be burdened.
If Spirit cannot be sick, I cannot be sick.
All these are nothing to Spirit,
It is certain that the Good that is for us is the Good we ought
to have.
How shall we arrive at our Good?
How shall we get hold of our Good?
The most powerful word in the vocabulary of prayer is the verb "is": Harmony is; God is; joy is; peace is; abundance is; Omnipresence is. In the presence of Omnipresence, is there anything to be healed, changed, reformed, overcome, or destroyed?
“There is one mind common to all individual men. Every man is an inlet to the same and to all of the same. He that is once admitted to the right of reason is made a freeman of the whole estate. What Plato has thought, he may think; what a saint has felt, he may feel; what at any time has befallen any man, he can understand. Who hath access to this Universal Mind, is a party to all that is or can be done, for this is the only and sovereign agent.” ~Emerson

About 500 B.C. it was written: "It easily happens that a man, when taking a bath, steps upon a wet rope and imagines that it is a snake. Horror will overcome him, and he will shake from fear, anticipating in his thought all the agonies caused by the serpent's venomous bite. What a relief does this man experience when he sees that the rope is no snake! The cause of his fright lies in his error, his ignorance, his illusion. If the true nature of the rope is recognized, his tranquility of mind will come back to him; he will feel relieved; he will be joyful and happy.

A
Course in Miracles uses the term "budding" in only one instance:
a.k.a. Holy Spirit and not the ego?”
The Course, however, reminds us several times:
The Holy Spirit is nothing more than your own right mind.
'Yet not I, but
Christ,' must always be the attitude of the healer or rather,
the channel or instrument of healing.
Henry Thomas Hamblin
"Love is the key to every situation in life."
"To learn this
course requires willingness to question every value that you hold. Not one can
be kept hidden and obscure but it will jeopardize your learning. No belief is
neutral. Every one (every belief) has the power to dictate each decision you make.
For a decision is a conclusion based on everything that you believe. It is the
outcome of belief, and follows it as surely as does suffering follow guilt and
freedom sinlessness" (T-24.in.2:1-6).
What
is this
"little willingness"?
"You attract the things you give a great deal of thought to."
I call on the law of accumulation. My supply comes from God, and now pours in and piles up, under grace.
I expect the unexpected, my glorious good now comes to pass.
The long arm of God reaches out over people and conditions, controlling this situation and protecting my interests.
"God's ways are ingenious, His methods are sure!"
"What God has done before, He now does for me and more!" ~ 77th Psalm
"Believe in the reality of all that is good, even in the fleeting forms of life. 'A glass of water given in my name shall deserve eternal life,' said the great Initiator." "Absent in body yet present in spirit." Who is able to prove that we are ever.in spirit absent from where we want to be • We are not in the body. The body is in us as a tiny projection of our interior life. We, the spirit has no space limitations. These belonging only to sense. "Absent" refers only to the sensible organism: and it is not that which does the treating and healing. Absent treating is therefore only a name for spirit presence without the body, and for the action of the spirit in healing power it is solicited and elects to be and to operate for good. There is therefore a great and present reality and a profound philosophy in the doctrine and practice designated as -absent treatment." It is not imaginary. It is not merely a subjective operation and influence.
Today it will be given you to feel a touch of Heaven, though you will return to paths of learning (W-157.3:1).

to show forth Thy kingdom, Thy riches, Thy harmony, Thy health-not mine. Of my own
self, I have no health; of my own self I have no wealth; of my own self, I have no virtue.
There is but one good, and that is the I of my own being.
These are principles all teachers and practitioners of the Infinite Way follow and teach to their students.
