3rd Advent: Love Is in the Air
For the third Advent, Rev. Jean-Marie is approaching the topic of Love, which is always in the air, or otherwise considered in the ether. Once we recognize that Love is always around us, we realize our ability to always use it, whenever we can think of it.

Sermon Notes
“Let anyone with ears to hear listen!” (Matthew 4:23)
“The kingdom of the heavens, the new dimension of mind and
energy that is being unfolded today in the spiritual ethers
by the discoveries of the scientists, should not be
divorced from the kingdom of heaven taught by Jesus. Jesus
taught in parables because His listeners were not trained
in science.” (Atom-Smashing Power of Mind; chapter 7; Charles Fillmore)
Metaphysics of Christmas Characters and Animals
Mary: The feminine, the soul, the affectional and emotional phase of man's being, both when seemingly bound and limited by sensate thought, and in its freed, exalted state.
Joseph: The state of consciousness in which we increase in character along all lines; we not only grow into a broader understanding but there is an increase of vitality and substance.
Mary and Joseph: represent wisdom and love, which have been ideas in mind but are now to bring forth a manifestation in substance
Shepherds: The shepherds watching by night are the protecting entities of God that watch over us. They are the conservers and protectors. To affirm "Jehovah is my shepherd" is to acknowledge that God (Spirit) is the source of understanding and of all help.
Magi: The stored-up resources of the soul, which rise to the surface when its depths are stirred by a great spiritual revelation.
Angels: Thought of the Lord (Luke 1:11). Our angels are our spiritual perceptive faculties, which ever dwell in the presence of the Father (Matt. 13:49).
Donkey: The characteristics of the ass are stubbornness, persistency, and endurance. To ride these is to make them obedient to one's will.
Ox: Strength
Lamb: Represents innocent, guileless forms of life on the animal plane of consciousness.
