This is of course the season of Christ-Mass celebrations, family get -togethers and the exchanging of gifts. However, for many people, this is not an easy time and can represent mounting debt whilst trying to please children bombarded with media matierialism. Little of this has anything to do with the true spirit of Christ's teachings.The giving and receiving of gifts is wonderful and is in fact in keeping with many spiritual teachings. It is the commercial control and media manipulation which has robbed this most sacred celebrations of any sanctity and wonder. The true measure of an evolved society is how it teats the least among it's members. I am not talking of poverty, division and exclusion in third world countries here-I am talking on your doorstep to you; for as long as we have one homeless person among us, one socially trapped, or excluded from opportunity, on any grounds, then we are ALL forgetting the meaning of the Christ-Mass for we are ALL ONE. Love gives every day of the year.
