" As it gradually dawns on people, one by one, that the transformation of God

is not just an interesting idea but is a living reality, it may begin to

function as a new myth. Whoever recognizes this myth as his own personal reality

will put his life in the service of this process. Such an individual offers

himself as a vessel for the [continuing] incarnation of deity and thereby

promotes

the on-going transformation of God by giving Him human manifestation. " (The

Creation of Consciousness, page 113.)

F. Edinger, Jungian analyst + [1922-1999?]

It gives a special meaning to Christmas, Hannukah, et al n the Winter

Solstice. Take these words into yr hearts, as I have. They confer a dignity on

every

human being, a reason for being n struggling n searching! The Divine Guest

[self] needs to be invited by the ego........

In other words, " God can't eat a poached egg! but we can share our little and

great joys w/our Div Guest. Funny thing is, that whenever u do this, u get to

keep the joy. U lose the superstition ab never say u are happy bec something

will come to steal it!

I have discovered the secret of happiness is to KNOW when u are happy! So

stop at that moment n say it aloud :} yr Div G will rejoice.

" The secret of the Philosopher's Stone is to look with the eyes and see with

the heart. "

Alice,

How can one not agree with Jung and you here? I for one have done exactly what

you and Jung said. That is how I personally look at the process of incarnation.

I will with every strength in my being that it be so, yet I am dealing with

human weakness and know that I come very far from doing this. The only hope is

grace.One cannot, or I cannot, do this without help.

Isn't it strange that there are people who do not even know happiness when it

hits them in the face? Perhaps they are struggling so hard they do not realize

what has been given gratis.

I see a quieting down of the struggle at this season and an acceptance of the

Gift we so desperately need whether we know it or not. This, to me is a season

of joy, because I realize I don't have to and cannot do it myself.

Thanks Alice for writing it out for all of us.

Bless you,

love,

Toni
