Have you ever found he or she not hearing what you are saying? Ever wonder why? It was clear, to you, it was very clear, and obvious, and yet the person you were talking to, they just didn’t get it. Maybe you’ve even read that they are from Mars or Venus, only, you aren’t? Maybe your confusion seems like something that just shouldn’t be, and you are tired of it- does that sound about right? Would you like to be able to talk to them without them misunderstanding what you are saying? If you think yes on that one, we have something you will love- just fill in the subscription block on this page and we’ll be getting back to you with what is a very wise, very deeply spiritual, very meaningful set of truths and ways of “talking from the heart,” which will change your bad situation and bad results (you might say, “no lovin’”) into something which is hard to believe in terms of real and deep feeling.

What is the very best day you’ve ever had? Can you remember it clearly? Is there just one, or now, have they turned into many? How do you even begin to put best into the conversation, when it comes to days that you’ve lived? What if your best day, the very best day you ever had, you know it happened, because the feeling is there, but the memory, the crystal clear memory of it, has faded? What then becomes the very best day you’ve ever had? Does it go around and then become something that will happen, next?

In “Way of the Peaceful Warrior,” Dan Millman suggests that we experience the journey with a sense of being alive to the moment. What is the very best day you’ve ever had?

Mine, you ask?  Well it wouldn’t be fair to go through all those questions and then hold out on you, would it?  So lets you and I make a deal between us, O.K.?  Lets say that if you agree to let me know what you think about it, I’ll agree to tell you about it, hows that sound?  One thing to bear in mind, you’ll need to email me and ask.

What if there were an enormous Christmas secret that was knowable, you could find it out, and it would be wonderful when you did, and you weren’t aware of it? That would be some secret wouldn’t it? You might not like somebody who knew something that would be good for you and chose not to share it, so that they kept it a secret, would you? Ever play a game of hide and go seek, and the other players all got together and left you hiding there? After a while you got suspicious and came “all-e-all-e ins that’s free.” and there wasn’t anybody there? Well this isn’t a secret like that, rather this is more like a fly that is on the wall of the Grand Canyon; you would need to know specifically which rock outcrop that fly was on, to the inch, in order to set your scope up to find it, wouldn’t you? This Christmas secret is going to be revealed to you, and so, in this brief writing that’s what we’re going to get into, the “how do I,” find this Christmas secret?

First we’ll talk about Christmas just a bit, because it is so important, before it happens, as it happens, and after it happens. Then we’ll talk about, in the next paragraphs, the Christmas secret and how you can find it before Christmas, during Christmas, and we hope, after Christmas, so let’s go?

Before Christmas happens things begin to change, in different cultures the world over, people begin to adjust to the idea that something really “neat,” really wonderful in terms of a holiday, is going to happen. Christmas is a world sized holiday, by the way, which, while celebrated differently, by style, takes place on the same day, December the 25^th. For some it’s just a recognition that the rest of the planet sees this day as significant; for most of those countries, however, it is the celebration of the birth of Jesus the Christ. It’s becoming, in America, and in many other countries, unpopular to state it so, which does not make much sense, given that all that Jesus ever did, no matter what else you may think, all He ever did was good for everybody! So in that He was so unlike so many other people, maybe that is why they have chosen to reject celebrating His birthday? But actually, my sense is that good people everywhere know that Jesus the Christ is real, was a real baby, actually lived here on earth, and really did do nothing but good the whole time He was here. If there’s a problem with Jesus the Christ, it’s probably not about Him at all, but about the people who say they know Him; but act like they don’t. People who are supposed to be loving and kind, but sometimes have a very odd way of showing it? Maybe if they weren’t like they are, people would be happier about celebrating their King’s birth? I don’t know, all I know for sure about Christmas is, it does change the world, each year before it gets here, the world gets ready for it, and if you are looking for Christmas, you might find it in that fact?

When Christmas day shines out, my heart rejoices, with so many other hearts, because it is the day in which Jesus the Christ, was born. Historically, maybe not, history is good to study, my preference is to believe that history is kept in the humans heart who knows love, and this day celebrates the birth of the Man who taught love, lived love; and is love. That to me is what Christmas is all about, but it really happens that morning because the night before we have a family tradition, which began when we were extremely poor, a year where we lost just about everything, and even our families health wasn’t good. That year both of us, the wife and I, were trying to think of something that we could do which would be good; we needed something good to take place, those were hard times. So I’d seen this clip of a movie called “A Christmas Carol.” several great actors who have since died, George C. Scott and Edward Woodward, to name a couple; were in it; it is an incredible movie, if you don’t have it, it’s worth the $5.00 it might cost to get it today. Anyway, in our state of down, somehow this movie seemed from the clip to be good, so my suggestion was, “hey, let’s watch it.” She agreed and so was begun the Christmas tradition of watching “A Christmas Carol,” by Charles Dickens. If I had a wish to be granted, like they do at the TED meeting each year, I wish every wealthy greedy world sized corporate pirate leader, who believed they had no need of Christmas, would get to watch this with us.

After Christmas things aren’t the same. Children who had hoped that Santa Clause, or, Saint Nicholas, Shengdan Laoren of Chinese name, JuiTomten of Sweden or others, can be found smiling. In fact this website: http://www.lone-star.net/mall/main-areas/santafaq.htm seems to be a pretty good one, for checking out Santa’s name, but back to the hoping, smiling, children; they are enjoying what Santa has left. Parents who have actually listened to their children and each other (these would be the 50 or so percent who aren’t getting divorced) are smiling inside, just a little, and that “just a little,” may be the about the only smile they get for a while. Things aren’t the same and that is certainly hard to dispute when such a large scale holiday takes place, Christmas doesn’t leave things the same, so if you are looking for a clue about the Christmas secret, that’s a huge one, things after Christmas change.

We’ve spent just a little time together about before, during and after Christmas itself, because nothing is like it, as a holiday, I don’t know one that world wide, has it’s power? New Year’s is celebrated world wide, but it doesn’t have the significance of Christmas and the secret which we are going to discuss, may be a fundamental aspect of why?

Now let’s go into the Christmas secret, because it can be found before Christmas, let me tell you how. You will need to find a quiet place, where you won’t be disturbed for about five minutes; this is going to be tough on you, so you will really have to want to know the secret, because you will need to find a quiet place for five minutes! Here you do nothing, shut off the cell phone and sit – still. Just sit still, for five whole minutes. While you are there ask your heart how many more hurts it can take before it breaks enough to realize that the hurt that you suffer must tell you something about your ability to take hurt? Ask your heart then, if your hurts are worse than the mother who watched her baby die yesterday; because it couldn’t get water. Water- not food, not medicine, WATER- now, ask your heart if you really understand what hurting is? If you will listen to your heart and be honest, you’ll realize that Dickens’s was right, and in the eyes of God “these may be of more importance than you ever will be;” and, we, you and I, and everyone, are letting it happen. It’ll be an interesting five minutes if you do it; and remain true to your heart, I guarantee it will affect how you look at suffering.

The Christmas secret however, is also to be found, by you, right there in the midst of the great times of great joy; you see, we need those, oh we desperately need them, here is why. When you are down, and those times will happen, even when you compare the depth of your down to the greater suffering of someone else; you need to be able to think about good Christmases and good times- its a way of keeping your balance with reality. The Christmas secret, begins in the persons heart, and so, for some, sadly, it’s gonna remain a secret, their heart, is, unfortunately, only a muscle that pumps blood; and that, is, one of the saddest realities of this world. The Christmas secret might have something to do with, changing that; if it is possible to change that heart with little feeling, to one that feels, the Christmas secret might bring it about.

After Christmas if your heart cannot change, the Christmas secret will help you in ways that you might not believe were possible, but all the time were. A very close personal friend who let other things get between us; realized, not too long ago, that “we don’t talk like we used to.” While I almost said, “
no duh,” I stopped my mouth, stayed quiet (like in the car), and listened, because what they said next was something that if your searching for the Christmas secret, will help you, they said, “so every once in a while, let’s just call each other, think we can do that?” You know I really do think we can, and somewhere I hear Charles Dickens agreeing with others “they’re getting close to finding the Christmas secret aren’t they?” What do you think the others say back to them about us?

You have, no doubt, heard of the manufacturing term, just in time, which means that things are made just as they are due to be shipped; there is no large scale warehousing of merchandise or parts. Sounds good and the idea behind it sounds good but as you probably know, sounding good and being good, may not be such. So there is a dichotomy of need and demand being met, versus, saying it will be met, when it is not. In so many situations, we’ve become used to it and here is how (These are only very short examples for this writing, there are many, many more…). You pull into a McDonalds drive-thru where the understanding is a three to five minute wait, but it can be longer, can’t it? We go into a SuperCenter, (not a bigger store with grocery shopping included, no, it’s a SuperCenter) and there are thirty or more checkout lines, including perhaps ten or more which are self service; the expectation is a quick check out, only, we all know, it can be, but usually, isn’t, is it? The point is, we’ve become used to having expectations set for us, that aren’t met. Just in time, it has become a mindset, and not just in the U.S., it has become a mindset in the world.
What happens next is straight out of the textbook on Pavlov and reinforced negative behavior- let dog in, ring bell, show food, dog salivates, dog eats; let dog in again, same process, then let dog in ring bell, no food, dog still salivates- why? Dog expects food, it is the expectation, it has been, in effect trained to behave in a certain way. Say food will be ready in five minutes (McDonalds), it can be, the expectation is that it will be, what happens when it is not? Are we being trained, to adjust to a negatively reinforced behavior set, and the question would be, who is the trainer?
Christian’s want to strain at this situation and insist that it has to be God or the Devil. If anyone asks the honest question about whether that’s real or not, they are viewed by those Christian’s as nuts. From such a mix eliminating set of outlooks, how can we expect those Christian’s to grow and develop healthy and enlightened outlooks, or, is the real desire to have Christian’s without healthy and enlightened outlooks? Caution is certainly warranted here- my suggestion is that if we aren’t careful we will do to the body of Christ what used to be done to mental patients who weren’t behaving as they were expected to.
Finally comes the question about how we are as Christian’s – because most of us don’t warehouse our belief, do we? We want to deliver it, just in time. Problem is, this belief in God doesn’t lend itself to that, does it? What do you think God says about such?
