I love the idea of contemplative groups the world over, from different perspectives but who all view the same thing from their different perspectives, holding the space.
Space for humanity to come to its senses and realize we ARE all the same and should celebrate both our oneness and our differences.
What a lovely story, David, contemplative, peaceful and kind. Thank you for the wisdom you offer and the stepping stones to our own awareness within it. May you and those touched by you enjoy all that this season embodies and may our meditations create peace within that extends to our turbulent world. Peace to all.
Love the coming together of mages, sages, masters of different traditions, all on a very similar path. It reminded me of a Biblical saying, “In my Father’s house, there are many mansions.” I take this to mean many ways of training lead to the same consciousness.
Thank you, as always, for the spiritual nourishment. Merry Christmas! May alll beings benefit.

Thank you so much David. Sometimes when I meditate, I get the feeling of my hands holding the hands of everyone around the world— Kind of like cut out paper people. I feel connected to everyone. I had a similar feeling reading this wonderful Christmas gift. Sending Holiday love and blessings to you, your family, and everyone reading this. ❤️
Thank you so much for that image of the cut-outs holding hands, which I remember from my childhood. A beautiful image and so wonderful that you sense it. Warmest wishes.
I really enjoyed your post, which expresses through this beautiful story how the goal sought by all spiritual paths is only access to the one and same reality, which each represents with different symbols and words. It's very useful today to make people feel this!

in Oakland California... I was trying to solve the Middle East crisis before getting out of bed...so glad I saw this now my heart and mind are at peace... thinking about cake and wrapping the Claw of Attraction and petting this cat by my side.
What a privilege to have a cat by your side! And I'm sure you're not the only aspirant geo-political peacemaker among us! I anm so glad you feel a deeper sense of equanimity Kristen.
Thank you David for a very evocative gift. It is summer here (as it is in Perth) but it will be a wet Christmas for us so perhaps a withdrawing time also this year. Wishing everyone a happy and peaceful time. Anne Tauranga New Zealand
The most beatiful Christmas story I've ever read! Thank you very much, David. You are a great writer, because you are able to trasmit trascendent participation giving a real feeling of presence in that place in that moment. A marvelous experience!
Thankyou for this beautiful story David. It was lovely to be invited by HHC to join the coming together of these wonderful beings and to bask in their wisdom.
Thank you David for such a beautiful story. Full of peace and kindness...... And a cats PURR! Nothing quite so comforting and luxurious as a cats purr.
Merry Christmas to you and yours

PS I have seen a notice advertising Downward Dog yoga, dogs welcome. It's a real thing!
My sincere thanks, Margaret. I have heard of goats too. I think we will have to consider which African animals would be suitable yoga companions for our MIndful Safaris. All suggestions welcome!
Thank you David. I felt peace and contentment descend on me reading your beautiful words. I'm a bit jaded by the consumerism of the festive season and this was such a welcome reminder of the true spirit of Christmas. Lovely to see that different traditions have strong commonalities.

Many thanks indeed, Gerry. I think many of us feel quite alienated by all the consumerism, and a yearning to turn away from it all.
