Marriage once was flexible and protected rights of children first and foremost, as valued assets or members of tribe and clans: and women - it has been a virtual War on our dual energy or psycho-spiritual makeup! Arranged marriages as economic or political intrigue are not more than prostitution and slavery. Who benefits from polygamy that saw Abraham and his baby-factories re-energized under 33rd degree Masons like Smith and Young? The Ur-stories or Judaeo/Christian/ Islamic cult complex has wrought more pain and abortion of soul than any other structure devised by man. The people behind religion are people who may have tried to improve mankind and manage future in some decent way at one point of another. Sure there are some today that you could say are naïve enough to make a good case for them being great and loving people. It is not just amusing to see incessant bitch-slapping of interdenominational fighting over souls of sheeple. It sickens me deep in my soul.

It gets worse as you research more deeply into creation of these constructs that separate us from each other and collective or oversoul that might be what we call God. Scientology or Mormons, surely have people who act without usual hypocrisy; and you can say they have become totally under a near hypnotic control. In fact Scientologists have created a slave robot culture. But when compared to so many other cultures that have war at top of actual agenda – who knows – maybe we should all join these new religions which were started by Masonic ‘Octopussy’.

... Most certainly our Holiday traditions have become so entrenched within our religious and worldly psyche, that to jump off such a merry-go-round would be unthinkable, if not downright impossible. What on earth would we do? Not have any Holiday Season? Not celebrate Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year? That is just plain insane. But, like most of us have found out as adults, we do have a choice, just like we did as a child on playground; to jump on merry-go-round or not. We also can realize if ride is at point of making us uncomfortable, we can choose to drag our feet, and slow it down, or jump off, or ask for help. We can say no to all our little playmates that are urging us on. We can you know. Perhaps by bringing in some matured christian sense of well being and balance, perhaps by acknowledging real truth and facts about all holidays; instead of aimlessly going along with Holiday Merry-Go-Round ride as it goes faster and faster...

"And behold there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and same man was just and devout, waiting for consolation of Israel; and Holy Ghost was upon him. And it was revealed unto him by Holy Ghost, that he should not see death before he had seen Elohim's (the Lord's) Christ. And he came by Spirit into Temple: and when parents brought in child Yahshua (Jesus), do do for him after custom of law, Then took he Him up in his arms, and blessed YaHWeH (God), and said: YaHWeH (God), now let your servant depart in peace, according to your word. For mine eyes have seen your Salvation, which you have prepared before face of all people; a Light to lighten Gentiles, and Glory of your people Israel." St. Luke 2:25-32

Christians certainly know that Thanksgiving is a life event. Not brushed over so easily once a year with a turkey dinner celebration. But a genuine lifestyle of Thanksgiving toward YaHWeH (God), for more than historical events that Thanksgiving can relate. As sojourners upon this earth we can empathize with 'Pilgrims' who celebrated a Thanksgiving Feast due to their tremendous and difficult circumstance they had endured and had come thru.

Christians certainly know that December 25th is not accurate date of birth for Yahshua (Jesus). If any close date could be stated it would be most likely in late spring or early fall. December 25th was birth of Mithra, Iranian God of Light. Liberius, Bishop of Rome ordered adoption of this date in to counteract effects of all pagan festivals. Yahshua's birth date was adjusted to fit accordingly.

Christians certainly know christmas tree is related to more pagan rituals. The ancient Pagan Romans decorated trees with bits of metal and replicas of their god, Bacchus (a fertility god). They placed 12 candles on tree in honor of their sun god. The mid-winter festival of Saturnalia started on December-17 and often lasted until a few days after Solstice. So many underlying cultish facts still remain alive and well within our Christian Holiday Season and perpetuates Holiday Season's Merry-Go-Round...

"For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given; and Government shall be upon His shoulder; and His Name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty Elohim, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of increase of His Government and Peace there shall be no end, upon Throne of David, and upon his Kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with Judgment and with Justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of Elohim of Hosts will perform this." Isaiah 9:6-7.

... We as Christian Believer's need to continually look upon our lives and faithfully reflect upon purposes of YaHWeH (God) in and through it all! We are all growing from faith to faith and from glory to glory. Sometimes we just have to stay off certain merry-go-rounds world has to offer. Sometimes we have to slow down merry-go-round we have jumped up onto. Sometimes we have to ask a friend to help us actually stop merry-go-round altogether. Whatever place we may find ourselves on this Holiday Merry-Go-Round, know that we still have a choice in our participation to whatever extent and likewise it's consequences in after effects.

The Holy Spirit, in much prayerful inspiration, can help us to decide in changing, a little or a lot. The Holy Spirit will not lead us in dizzying circles, or take us on some other purposeless ride. With great love and divine interest in our total well being, The Holy Spirit will always lead us toward mark of our high calling with Yahshua (Jesus).

Take a precious moment this Holiday Season and find your peace and your pleasure in Yahshua (Jesus), first-most before everything else. This is one Holiday Gift you can personally share with everyone else this Holiday Season with a lasting value that will far supersede anything Holiday Season's Merry-Go-Round can ever offer.
