Chudo, what you miss is that for most, Christmas has nothing to do with JC’s birthday and everything to do with having a good time with family and friends. What is it you wish? Oshomass on 11 December? You need to lighten up.

Well, Karima, that may well be true, but is that really your most pressing ‘problem’?

For example, how’s your love life?

(No need to answer here, treat it as a rhetorical question, if you like).

Profound spiritual crisis, Karima, he wasn’t sure whether his consciousness/Life Itself (“MY God”, not any external ‘God’ – and certainly not his body-mind) would carry him through…

Apparently though, it did.

I really wouldn’t know, of course, but anyway, that’s my interpretation, based on what I’ve heard.

i am really trying to imagine the grin of all those Americans, British, Canadians, Germans who changed their names under the influence of an Indian guru and now will be eating Christmas meal with their near and dear ones and singing Happy Birthday, Jesus Christ, our Lord, our Saviour!

Maybe when others will make cross with their index finger, these swamís and mas will make a kind of round – pt means locket in the mala and also O!

Yes, shop till you drop and hang like Jesus…the ultimate depression and suffering!

But what was his shopping when he uttered the words “Father, why has Thou forsaken me?” Hope that there was a God who would save Him?

If I totally believe that I am a separate identity, then the only intelligent reaction is that I become depressed! And that can be a stepping stone for inquiry and seeing who I really am.

Otherwise I am just trying to adapt to the nuthouse, where the happiness drugs in all forms are pushed to the limit and people try, but cannot live up to those false standards, hence depression, plus feeling guilty about it and therefore wanting to get rid of it.

A big post, SD, in every way, and informed by your own experience. Plenty to consider here.
