Beloved Saint Germain:

CHRISTMAS DAY

How beautiful this day always seems to Us in the Consciousness conveyed to humanity—representing that birth of the Christ Activity in all mankind; and to the students who have become aware of what the use of the "I AM Presence" means to them in setting into motion Love and Intelligence to do their bidding, according to their direction of that Limitless Power.

So long individuals have wondered how to attain the Christ Consciousness. The first mighty step is in the recognition of the "Great I AM Presence," God dwelling in you. The second step is in the use of that "I AM Presence," for when you say "I AM," with the understanding of what It means, you have then and there entered into the Christ Consciousness.

It does not mean you immediately express the fullness of that Christ
Consciousness, for you must first know where you are going and what you wish to do before you can accomplish it.

All the Ascended Ones have gone the same path and use identically the same application, because all roads lead to the Great Central Sun, the God-Head.

Our Beloved Brother Jesus performed one of the greatest Blessings to mankind in not only setting the example from his birth and achieving the Ascension, but in making the Eternal Record that stands radiant, pouring Itself to humanity. Little can the unascended realize what this means to mankind. It is an Eternal Beacon, beckoning them on into the Light, and in the example of the Ascension, Jesus stated definitely not only what could be done, but what must eventually be done.

Great as were the wonders He was able to perform, He gave the marvelous promise that: "Even greater things than these shall ye do." Many times students wonder what greater things could be performed than Jesus did, but He tells us that He only performed a few of the Universal Services which can be rendered to our fellowmen.

To Us this day always symbolizes the conscious beginning of that most marvelous of all achievements—the Ascension.
