ISSUE 012
DECEMBER ISSUE
Ciao all,
Welcome back to XXIV VII. December ISSUE; the last issue of the year. I started this newsletter in January this year to inspire, share my interests through music, art, books, film, ‘weird’ and culture in a way that cannot be bottled up on a social platform.
Thank you for subscribing and for being on the journey with me. You may find the back catalogue of previous issues this year: here
As I write this it’s 3:33 on a Sunday. There is a message here to deliver. The message is Love and Unity. For those of you whom are already aware you recognise 333 as a number associated with Christ Consciousness. You may also recognise my name (and other cri-soundings) as having The Code. Beyond the manacles and tight controls of what The Church has now become are a people who follow Him in their hearts and in their lives, uniting and loving others, other faiths and other systems of belief.
In Italian this time of year we say, ‘Buon Natale’, in French ‘Jouyeux Noêl’, in Spanish, ‘Feliz Navidad’. If you are a lingualphile like me you appreciate that in all of these words mentioned they directly mean Birth. A quick google search for the Sanskrit translation we find the ‘Instrumental’ नवया (navayā). There is a direct closeness to Navayā and Navidad. Having studied at St James Independent School for Girls my appreciation and respect for the Root of All Languages never fails.
In the English language we say,’ Happy Chistmas’. Christ-mass, the mass of Christ. Now isn’t that interesting! No corporation, no BODY need give you permission or punishment for wishing others a Happy Christmas by diluting it down to a ‘holiday’. You can still respect other paths, doctrines, faiths by celebrating (in your language).
In a world of over-woke-ness without Awakening, with dwindling embers of integrity, To Thine Own Self Be True. Do not hide your LIGHT. After all, love is the answer as is Unity Consciousness so tied into the Consciousness and teachings of Christ. As someone who has and continues to bear witness of His Testimony I can say He is real.
Now in the New Age let us all birth something new within us and as a collective; radical love for all mankind. Stay true on your path.
Much love and blessings this festive season to you and yours.
