Resolutions.

My friends it is very hard to add to what has already been
given before regarding this season. It is above all else a time for
rejoicing for it is the eve of the year to come. We have spoken
regarding time but in this instance it is those on earth that make
significant gestures of time that we in Spirit cannot ignore. Yes
this is the fresh beginning when many resolve to avoid the pitfalls
that they fell foul of previously.

A noble attempt to change is always appreciated. In this
instance of new resolve it is mostly words that are used so as to
conform to popular trends and not to form a firm resolve. Let us
look at the true significance of this season of Christmas and new
year. We have viewed this time from one perspective now let us
gather the lessons that can be learned throughout this period. The
first advice is for observations to be made of the behaviour of
those about you. Judge others not, rather take the image they
portray and look as into a mirror with their portrait
superimposed on your image. See that you lack the necessary
lustre that would indicate that you are not tarnished similarly to
the superimposition, for are you not all human? Take this as the
truth and see yourself no greater than any man. Rather see
yourself as every other man, vulnerable to the temptations of that
which can be termed negative. We would suggest that it might be
a time for taking cognisance of the progress or lack of progress
that we, you and us, have caused during the last yearly period.
