"There are as many paths to God as there are people. Each in their own beautiful way." (MCB)

"Once you set your foot on the spiritual path, there is no turning back. It becomes your greatest desire to glimpse the truth of our existence and to understand even one minute part of how this miraculous universe works. The quest for knowledge becomes the focus of your life. This great giant puzzle and its pieces seem to begin to fit together."

from Christmas Meditations on the Twelve Holy Days December 26 - January 6 by Merry C. Battles

"Are we helpless pawns in a mass hysteria of delusion, or are we in fact powerful beings of light caught in material form? Have we not chosen to be here during the most exciting and frightening time of our Gaia-Earth? Hold on to your hats, it might be a bumpy ride. Chaos! Do we have to have all of it? Or is it just a shaking up, drowning out, firing up, spewing out, blowing apart, or freezing up of all that is dead, unkind, false, unrealistic, and trying?"

Book Excerpts:

Christmas Meditations on the Twelve Holy Days December 26-January 6

Written and Illustrated by Merry C. Battles

Each one of the holy days is assigned to a Disciple, sign of the Zodiac, spiritual center of the physical body, spiritual attainment, and a passage from the Bible.

My book can be used all year as the Earth travels through each sign of the Zodiac. For example, as we are in the sign of Taurus, read the meditations for the holy day of Taurus. The universal focus for that time is, "He that dwelleth in love, dwelleth in God." (John 4:16)

From the second holy day Taurus:

1997 “My dwelling place is love. Its home is the heart. It reaches to all corners of the universe and comes right back to live in you. It deems the impossible. It sanctifies the improbable. It performs the miraculous. It feeds all souls. My love encompasses every atom of space - it soars in between the atoms of quantum theory. It fuels all sources of energy. It lives in each breath. It creates anew at each second. My love forgives all weaknesses, all harmful ways. It understands the fall from Spirit with

compassion.

“My love knows no boundaries yet is in all the limits of time and space. It fills the entire cosmos and creates more love. This love can be yours, yours for the asking.

“It can fill your being at each moment of time. Like the eagle, it can lift up the most downtrodden heart. It can sing like the sweet birds in the morning welcoming the new sun’s light.

“The past is over. The future is what you make it. The now is when I love you, filling your spirit to encompass the whole world. This love is possible to create Heaven on Earth. Its life lives each moment in the creation of time. If I were to speak, there would be words of love…love…evolve. Love evolves into more love. All is in divine order with helping unseen hands. Every moment counts as My children grow into beings of light where love dwells, heals all, is all. Amen.”

2000 Every creation of God is wrapped in love. We are created and exist in this love. Every action of the universe contains the law and essence of Spirit. We understand our truths according to our development. It is time to accept every moment, every action, every minute wave of fire, air, earth, and water as directly from

the movement of the Creator’s love. All happens according to the divine plan with every experience necessary for our higher learning. We are here to express the Divine. That is our sole mission. The great “I AM,” the great “One,” moves and breathes and we have our life. The awareness of love in every breath will be known.
