Yes, and of course the veil thinning means that the spirits of the dead are returning, which means we are getting closer to death.
This is the time when death is approaching and life turns away.
A yellow leaf falls to the ground and becomes ground, so in death does one return to the ground from which all life emerges.
Do not think that the enemy of life is death, for death is the necessary winter of life.
Like how the perennial plants remain dormant in the winter and restore themselves again in spring. Or the evergreens true throughout.
The ancestors are approaching to warm themselves around the ancient fires of the times. What else but to sing songs and drink?
It's in the Cities, and the towns, and the far off places where nobody ever goes, and in all places throughout the world that the spirit moves to descend upon the narrow gaps of truth.
In all times and places there is but one spirit of the times, and it does indeed awaken the earth from cold with a belt girded about.
Thus are the machines of the universe set into motion, and what one experiences in their place may not be what a friend may see in another place on opposite ends of the earth.
The rotation of the earth upon its axis, and that around the sun on its own axis, is measured but a mystery among mysteries in the galaxy of mysteries that is our own humble home in the infinite universe.
To turn out to the stars, we might see where the ancestors and the spirit of the times have their origin.
Looking in we see that this too is our origin, what is within is also part of that which is outside of us. They are the same wholeness. The earth and the stars were made together in an instant.
There is no other realization than this, like a bolt of lightning splitting the sky before you. And just as quickly as it was seen did it disappear. Echoing thunder in the mind.
To remain fixed in the goodness of the stable path, it is best to cultivate the light of the world which radiates into the inner and outer darkness
This means movement of the body, and attention in stillness.
Keeping still, attention moves to the body. In movement is stillness.
Notable subtleties arise when attention is concentrated on movement in stillness and the stillness in movement.
In the morning, be completely still, yet move only the mind entirely to the body and out of sleep into wakeful mind and wakeful body.
As soon as the mind moves the body will move, and as soon as the body moves the mind then becomes still. When mind becomes still, then the body becomes still also.
When stillness of mind occurs, keep moving the body.
When stillness of the body occurs, keep moving the mind.
By knowing the secret of change, you will come to understanding, and there are then no more limitations for you having transcended these instructions.
If you live year by year you will see everything go by.
If you live week by week you will suffer for your failures.
If you live day by day you will see the truth clearly, and only by living moment to moment is the vision of the truth transcended and truth becomes fully embodied forever.
When you become the mind of Millions of Years, then there is no moment for you that is everlasting. Instead, you become the truly everlasting and you yourself create new moments around you.
If eternity were like a ring around one's little finger, and one became lucid and awake in the dream of reality, what would one desire in their heart of hearts?
Keep fine the sands of life, and ever finer the subtle mind which transcends death. Keep words brisk and beautiful like a morning walk. Keep your shoelaces tied and drink plenty of water.
All in all, Happy Holidays!
