The Hijacking of the True Celebration

As we reflect on the celebration of Christmas and its deeper meaning, we cannot help but notice how this sacred time has been hijacked by the material distractions of the world. What was once intended as a profound inner journey—an opportunity to celebrate the birth of Christ within—has gradually become an outward-facing spectacle, focused on the acquisition of material things and outward appearances.

This is not to say that the joy of giving, or the sharing of love is inherently wrong. However, the true purpose of this season is often overshadowed by consumerism, commercialism, and societal pressures. In the rush to buy gifts, decorate homes, and participate in endless festivities, many forget the deeper invitation that this season offers: the invitation to withdraw, reflect, and honour the transformation that has occurred within.

The deeper meaning of Christmas was never intended to be about external celebrations or the accumulation of possessions. The birth of Christ represents the awakening of the divine within each of us—the realization of our own light, love, and limitless potential. But how many of you pause long enough to ask, “What has been born within me this year?” Instead of celebrating the profound inner evolution that has taken place, so many are distracted by the external trappings of the holiday season.

The Distraction of the Material World

The world constantly tempts you to focus outward—to measure your worth by what you have or what you can give. There are advertisements that bombard you with messages about what you need to buy, what you need to wear, or what you need to show the world. This is the distraction of the material world, which has shifted your attention away from the spiritual and inward journey.

In this distraction, the true purpose of Christmas becomes buried under a mountain of superficialities. People gather for celebrations, not to reflect on their personal growth or their inner transformation, but to partake in the social rituals of gift-giving, feasting, and outward merrymaking. While there is joy in connection with others, there is an underlying loss when these traditions overshadow the deeper calling of the season.

When you are caught in the web of material pursuits, it becomes easy to forget that Christmas is not a time to celebrate “what you can get” but a time to honour “what has already been given” within. The divine spark that resides within you—the Christ consciousness—is always there, waiting to be recognized, nurtured, and shared. Yet, in the frenzy of the holiday rush, it is easy to miss this moment of profound inner reflection.

The Call to Go Within

This season is, at its core, a call to go within. It is not about waiting for external circumstances to align perfectly, or for material things to bring you lasting happiness. It is about turning your gaze inward and asking yourself, “What has been born in me this year? What have I learned, and how have I grown?” Christmas is an invitation to recognize the Christ within, not in a distant, historical sense, but in the present moment, in the here and now.

To truly celebrate the birth of Christ is to honor the transformation that has already taken place within you. Every lesson, every challenge, every triumph, and every hardship you have faced this year has contributed to the birthing of your highest self. As you have shed old patterns and embraced new ways of thinking, you have come closer to embodying the divine essence that lives within you.

Instead of seeking fulfillment in external gifts or experiences, Christmas invites you to recognize the gift that you are—the divine light you have become. The Christ consciousness is not a figure that was born once in a manger; it is alive in you, in your heart, in your soul. It is the light that guides you through darkness, the love that transcends all boundaries, and the wisdom that comes from inner knowing.

The True Meaning of Christmas: A Rebirth of the Spirit

So, while the world around you celebrate with outward displays, we invite you to remember that the true celebration is the rebirth of your own spirit. The true birth of Christ happens every time you awaken to your divine potential, every time you choose love over fear, compassion over judgment, and peace over conflict.

This time of year, is a powerful reminder to slow down, reflect, and give thanks for the journey you have travelled. It is a moment to acknowledge the wisdom and growth you have gained, and to honour the Christ within you—your own divine light that continues to grow brighter as you evolve.

As you reflect on your own spiritual path, remember that the Christ within is always ready to be celebrated—not just once a year, but every day. The true gift is not found in material things, but in the realization that you are the embodiment of divine love and light. This is the true meaning of Christmas: a time to recognize the birth of your highest self and celebrate the eternal Christ within.
