Christmas Thoughts

Excerpt from Thinking with Somebody Else's Head

Richard Lloyd Jones (00:00):


We put up the decorations. We send out the cards with the heartfelt wishes for peace and g.odwill. We sometimes even sing the songs. But the desires for peace on earth and remembrances of the real meaning have long been obscured in the frustration of finding a blasted parking spot. Joyous Christmas time is not much of that anymore. Today on Thinking with Somebody Else's Head, let's revisit the true meaning of Christmas. I'm Richard Lloyd Jones. Dr. Norberto Keppe's Analytical Trilogy gives us a beautiful perspective. A theological, philosophical, and even scientific insight into what should be our most precious and spiritual time of the year. Claudia Pacheco, you said in our last podcast that instead of enjoying Christmas, we get all caught up in all the commerce of it, but that Jesus came with a message of hope and optimism and a way to get back to paradise. Why don't you expand on that a little bit now, as we start our podcast?

Claudia Bernhardt Pacheco ( 00:58):

Well, what we see presently in all the places is this mentality of commerce. Commerce dominated the world. The merchants took the power and they lead, or they give the tune to everything in our lives. And what we see is that money is invading more and more our lives in a negative sense. Because as we said before, in our previous podcasts, money should be used and enjoyed by all, of course. And make our quality of life better for everybody. But in reality money, the way it is used by the merchants has been a means to make life more difficult, to enslave, to exploit, to corrupt, to imprison, to make economy more difficult, to put obstacles up to the wealth of nations, in the improvement of science, of arts, of civilization, money, the way it has been used, has been blocking civilization to develop. On the opposite. It has deteriorated the quality of life of humanity. And when we speak about Christmas, we all have this inner sense, this inner intuition or feeling, that this would be the time to have good feelings, to be happy, to share, to love, to be grateful, to enjoy the beauty and the wonders of creation. Because this is the day when God was born here among ourselves. So this is an incredible good news because humanity at that time was so degraded in its psycho-genetics that it was necessary - scientifically explained even - that God's son would come and be born as a human being from the womb of a human woman. I mean, a real human being, which was Mary, his mother. And today we can explain further why and how, scientifically explaining through metaphysics and the new physics of Keppe, and through energetics, we can explain better why it was necessary for God to be born here as half human.

So coming back to the main idea: all humans have in their inner essence, their inner selves, this notion that Christmas should be a time of joy should be a time of peace of communication, forgiveness, and enjoyment. Now money, the way it has been used has been corrupting this wellbeing. Commerce. Now if you go to any shops, you see thousands, millions of people agitated, feeling horrible, drunk some times, drugged many times, anxious because they need to buy and buy and buy and buy. They obey. They just serve. They are like robots working for the commerce to give them more profits, to consume, to consume the planet, to extinguish the resources. And does this bring any satisfaction? Of course not! Because our essence is not idealized by our Creator to be consumers. We are here to accomplish. We are here to create, to be original, to continue the work of God. We are here to be similar to Him and to accomplish, to imitate Him in what He did.

Richard Lloyd Jones ( 05:44):

You know, Claudia, Dr. Keppe says in his wonderful book, Glorification, which is really his homage to God, he says, "No matter what happens, the human being strongly resembles his Creator, with His beauty, goodness, and veracity. And no matter what man may do, he will never cease to be magnificent in his origin."

Claudia Bernhardt Pacheco ( 06:03):

That's right. So we have to go back to the meaning of Christmas, to the true meaning of Christmas, which is the big, big news that we have now. A chance to go back to our original magnificence, as you said, and to the original glory that we were meant for. And this is very, very beautiful to be born, to live and to participate in the foundation of this true cosmic civilization. We wish everybody a very happy, very happy in terms of accomplishment, Trilogical accomplishment, the year to try to get Glorification.

Richard Lloyd Jones (06:47):

And that is my wish for you all, too. Merry Christmas, from all of us at the International Society of Analytical Trilogy.
