B:    All right, I'll say good day to you, at this time. How are you all?

Q:    Good, Great, perfect, etc....

B:    All right.  We extend to each and every one of you our deep
appreciation, once again, for allowing this transmission to come to you,
through this particular gateway, and in this manner, and at this time. Each
and every time your civilization allows our civilization to communicate
with you, in this way, we are allowed the opportunity to experience,
through each and every one of you, that many more perspectives that
Infinite Creation has of expressing Itself in, and we thank you for this
gift of sharing.


We would like to begin this transmission, this day of your time with the
following idea, first and foremost, of course, we recognize that the local
to which we are communicating is celebrating certain of what you call
seasonal holidays.  We will thus take a moment to address some of these
ideas.  But, at the same time, and as we begin, we would of course like to
remind you that anything that you choose to celebrate will be, of course,
ultimately a celebration of life, of existence, of beingness.  It does not
really so much matter, as many of you know, what form you place this
celebration in.  Allowing yourself the opportunity to express it in certain
ways is, simply, one more creative way, one more creative facet, one more
creative aspect of All That Is, of the Infinite, of the One, whatever you
wish to call it.

Creation does not care what name you give it; be it that you use the term
of God, be it that you use the term of Christ Consciousness, be it that you
use the term of Buddha Nature, be it that you use the term of Krishna
Spirit, or any other appellation that you may concoct within your own
understanding of your relationship to creation.  For there cannot be a name
that you can conceive that can be outside of Creation, for there is nothing
outside, there is nothing beyond; all things are included within All That
Is.  That is the idea and the very definition of the Infinite, that it is
infinite and that nothing that can be imagined by any being on any world,
in any dimension of experience, can possibly, by definition, be outside the
Infinite.  And so, any name you come up with is as valid as any other name.
 Any other approach, any other ritual, any other ceremony, any other
celebration you may choose to invent as representative of your
relationship, personally, uniquely, individually or collectively, to the
Infinite or any aspect of the Infinite, cannot by its very nature be wrong
or better than any other aspect or representation; all are part of the One.


The One values, cherishes, honors, any expression that any aspect of
Itself, this means all of you, all of us, all beings in creation, honors
any idea or any perspective that any individual comes up with, in its
relationship to the One.  For that is the whole point of the experience of
being an individual, is to recognize that while you are a unique part of
the One, simultaneously, each and every one of you and all beings in
creation are also the total One, the whole One, experiencing Itself and
expressing Itself as a part of the One.  This is the great paradox of the
Infinite, the great ability of the Creator to be both, simultaneously, All
That Is and every single part within itself, experiencing itself as an
individual, separate from the One; and yet, simultaneously, experiencing
itself as the total One, as a separate individual.

As you allow yourself to explore the idea of the celebration of your
holiday season, do please understand that that energy is meant to
accelerate throughout your entire year, your entire orbit.  You can use it
any time of your season, any time of your year.  And the idea is to
ultimately recognize that each and every one of you, individually, is a
celebration of a part of the Creator, is a celebration, another way that
the Creator has of expressing Itself, another way the Infinite has of
experiencing Itself.  The other ways, all the other ways that the Infinite
has of celebrating that It exists, that is what each and every being in
creation is, a celebration by definition.  So when you are celebrating the
One, any aspect of the One, any ritual, any ceremony, remember that you are
also celebrating yourself and each other.  You are celebrating that you are
aspects of each other, reflections of each other, which is what
relationships are all about anyway.  And as you celebrate those
reflections, the whole idea is to allow yourself the opportunity to
surround yourself with the opportunity to learn more and more every day, in
all ways possible who, who the unique aspect, who you are as the unique
aspect of the One.

For the more you cherish that uniqueness, the more you honor the One, for
all of the individual puzzle pieces in a large puzzle picture must truly be
themselves, if they are going to fit with all the other puzzle pieces, and
support the whole picture. If any puzzle piece tries to be something that
it is not, tries to be a different shape, then it will not fit with all the
other puzzle pieces and will not support the One. So as you celebrate the
uniqueness that you are, and honor and cherish that you exist apart from
all others, that you are an expression of the diversity of the One,
understand that it is that act itself, not in a selfish way, negatively,
but the honoring of the self, the valuing of the self, the validating and
the loving of the self, that actually is the greatest gift you can give to
the Infinite.  For you are saying that you are a valuable part of All That
Is, and that you are a valuable expression of the Whole, and thus, then
can, in so doing, support the whole picture and everyone else's idea and
unique perspective.

You are like a hall of mirrors reflecting each other, to each other, to
show each other who you are, not only who you are to someone else, but to
help everyone else understand, more and more, in your relationship with
them, who they are.  That is the greatest help you can be to anyone.  The
greatest love you can give to anyone is to help them know and learn, more
and more every day, who they are, to support their uniqueness, to cherish
their individuality and the infinite diversity you are immersed in, in your
world of experience.

We share these thoughts with you because these are the ideas that exist
deep within your hearts, deep within the core of your true being, of your
true spirit, of your true consciousness.  At the core of every being there
is one vibration, the primal resonance of unconditional love of All That
Is.  The existence itself is the vibration of unconditional love, total
support, absolute support, and unconditional support.  As we have said
quite often, you will find that in some ways, paradoxically speaking, the
very proof that you are unconditionally loved is that you are actually
allowed to believe you are not unconditionally loved.  That is how
unconditionally you are loved.  That the All That Is, the One, the Creator
will even love you so much that it will allow you to believe that you are
not loved, if you want to. That is the proof of how unconditional the love
of Creation is, because it allows you anything, any reality, even self-
denial, even self-destruction and self-depreciation and self-devaluation,
because it knows you are worthy of any experience you can imagine, and
anything that you decide and you choose is the experience you need to go
through.  It will support you in that experience, no matter what it is,
even if it involves the idea that you lack support and lack love; you are
supported in believing in lack of support.   The universe is a self-
fulfilling prophecy in that way, a self-perpetuating cycle in that way.
Take it to heart, you are unconditionally loved, infinitely loved.

And each and every one of you is a spark, a flame of that eternal light,
that infinite light.  You are spirit, you are consciousness, and you are
being.  You all, each and every one of you, though unique, share the same
identical purpose, the same identical mission, and the same identical goal
in your physical life reality experience.  And that goal is to simply, as
uniquely as you can, according to your own individuality, be the best you,
you can be.  That is the only function you have, the only purpose you have.
 You do not need to get caught up in the idea that you need to fulfill any
other purpose or any other mission or any other goal in life.

All the things in your lives that you call purposes, goals, projects,
missions, these are not your goals, they are not your purpose, they are
expressions, creative expressions of your purpose, of being you.  However
it is you want to express the goal, the purpose of being you, is up to you;
that is where your free will comes in.  But those are not your goals, do
not place your expectations upon them as if they must come to fruition in
any particular way. Because there are an infinite number of ways in which
your dreams, your desires, can come to fruition, many times, even greater
than you can image, at any given moment.  The idea that allows you to know
that you are walking the unerring path of your true self, is to simply, at
any moment, ask yourself, am I being the fullest me, the best me I know how
to be; am I following my joy, living my truth to the best of my ability?
If the answer is yes, that's all you need to do.  And nothing, nothing, NO
THING is expected of you from the Infinite.  That is the only thing you
have to do, is be yourself!

However, we do understand, in communicating to your particular
civilization, that one of the most difficult things many of you have
created for yourselves is to be yourself, on your planet, and we understand
the great challenge that this affords you.  Take it to heart and do not
feel despair.  Do remember, one of the reasons you adopted upon yourselves
and accepted upon yourselves the great challenge of forgetting who you are,
and forgetting that you are connected to the Infinite, and forgetting that
you are unconditionally loved; the great challenge is, that when you
finally remember who you are, when you start being who you are, and after
you have learned to do this, coming through the great challenge of having
forgotten utterly, you will be that much more certain, that much stronger,
that much more in the light, by having come through the darkest darkness
and still been capable of remembering who you are.  That's why you have
created this challenge.

So we, as a civilization, wish to extend our greatest thanks to each and
every one of you for accepting such a challenge of strength upon yourself,
for from you, we learn and all other beings learn that if you can do it,
anyone can.

Q:    Much laughter.  Yes!  Clapping....

B:    Because in our experience, not that there are not others, but in our
experience, your world is one of those that has challenged itself most
strongly, in the area of not knowing who you are, and yet you are still
remembering.  And that shows the infinite strength of the true spirit, and
the true heart, and the true beings that you are.  Take it to heart, trust
it, have faith with it, live in it, for that is who you are; there is no
doubt.

We take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for allowing us
to remind you of what you already knew, and for allowing us to remind you
to pay attention to your hearts, to your spirits, to what you know to be
true for yourself.  For all are created as infinitely powerful as they need
to be, to create any thing and any reality they so desire, without having
to hurt themselves or anyone else in order to do so.  You are infinitely
strong, infinitely imaginative, infinitely creative, because you are an
aspect of the Infinite.  We thank you for allowing us to express this to
you.  We thank you for your gift of sharing, in this holiday season of
yours.  In return for the gift that you are giving to our world, I ask now,
in what way may I and my planet be of service to you?
