Non Duality Christmas
How does a non-dualist spend Christmas?
I’m spending a day with my family: eating good food, drinking fine wine, opening presents, taking the dog for a walk in the snow, playing silly board games. A normal Christmas I suppose.
What is the meaning of Christmas?
As I am not a Christian then I do not have religious feelings about Christmas. For me, Christmas has no meaning. It is there to be enjoyed. Indulging in pleasurable experiences needs no reason.
Being awake means that a lot of things that I do in life are no different from people around me. The only thing that changes is the interpretation of events and actions. There is less clinging, less identifying with my actions as being who I am.
Yes, eat, drink and be merry. Feel love and peace for the world. Reflect on the year that’s been and the year that lies ahead. With purpose and meaning removed from all this, then everything just is as it is.
Let everything be as it is.
But also leave room for mystery.
