You don't even have a clue do you. That's sad.
You disagree with Meister Eckhart? Whoooow ... who or what are you?
By the way: If you or someone else will listen to this video it's good to know that the German word "Grund" means not only "ground" - it means also "[concrete] reason". Meister Eckhart wrote in Latin - but also with the background color of German and Celtic languages too.
Unlike most of you, I understand our true nature.
And what is my true "nature"? As far as I can see is my true nature a true idiot who speaks in English with another true idiot - what Meister Eckhart had expressed much more friendly and with much more hope.
The problem with being a noncorporal being living in a parallel universe is nothing changes.
We were all ONE
and there was great peace and contentment.
But no challenges makes one weak.
Thus the Creator ( all of us ) punched a hole in the universe
and created the physical universe where we could experience change and the passage of time. It's that simple.
No just or moral.causes involved, just trying to avoid atrophy.
You will understand when you return to the real life.What for heaverns sake do you try to speak about? No one knows anything about concrete parallel universes. Nor think Christians about non-corporal beings when they think about human beings.
One universe?
Where was this when?
Do you think "the challenger" ( = Satan) exists - if he exists at all - on reason to make us strong? ... Perhaps he makes us indeed strong - independent from any real or unreal existence - but is this really a reason or even the only reason for god?
Who? Did do what? ... Okay - I got it. In German it is called "Verarsche" what you try to do here. Hopefully you will not become your own victim of your own "Verarsche".
Simple?
Hmmm ... An interesting theory for a hunter-gatherer - but I guess real hunter-gatherers had better theories.
You will understand when you return to the real life.
Problems with alcohol or drugs? You say nothing - or even less than nothing - very loud, that's all.
Whatever. Happy Christmas.
Never got into drugs or alcohol. Near death experience,
I asked the right questions when I was between worlds.
Something different from the bullshit you've heard your whole life.What a nonsense.
Good grief. What a bullshit do you try to tell me here under such a totally wrong excuse? You asked whom what and got which answer?
Something different from the bullshit you've heard your whole life.
There is no heaven or hell, there is just here and there.Dear idiot mine - I am here because someone or something what I am not able to name asked me to be so nice not to die and to come back to Earth. And when I asked I got the answer that I will have the same risk here like everyone else to go to hell or heaven in the end. Nevertheless I agreed with this light - without to know anything about why it is so. When I awoke in the intensive care unit in the hospital I was not happy that they had saved my life. But I said this to no one because I did not like to frustrate them. They did do their best. If this will be the best for me or anyone else I will know when I will be really dead - or later - but not in this life here.
So what do you really try to tell me asides this stupid bullshit which you tried to tell me up to now? You know not any spiritual secret which not everyone else on our planet is not also in principle able to know.
There is no heaven or hell, there is just here and there.
... Good grief. How arrogant are you? Do you justify always everything what you say and do?
I find this piece interesting and tellworthy, because nowadays many denie the christian roots of Christmas they just equal it with ancient pagan roots, and consumerism. They want to erase the Christ out of Christmas. Many just say "But Christmas is pagan not Christian."

Catholic Roots of Christmas
December 19, 2020
Christmas honors the pivotal day which altered all of history. Christians around the world celebrate Christmas as the birthday of Christ Jesus. On this day, God Incarnate departed the hidden tabernacle of Mary’s womb into the blissful embrace of His mother’s arms. And she, in turn, presented this unblemished child, this Divine Gift, to all the world that we might adore Him as “Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6).
As with any child’s arrival, there are many preparations to be made before welcoming the new family member; an expecting family gathers bathing items, blankets, and a collection of cozy outfits. Faithful members of the Catholic Christian family prepare for Christ’s coming by observing the season of Advent.
Advent is a time of joyful anticipation in which the faithful prepare their hearts for the most special arrival of the Divine Infant. Formally introduced by the Council of Tours in 567 AD, the Advent season begins four Sundays prior to Christmas Day. This period provides a precursor to the special holy day when the Light of the World shines amidst the darkness, the Sign of Hope dispels all despair.
One Catholic tradition orienting believers toward Christ’s coming is the Nativity Scene. This practice harkens back to Medieval times when in 1223, St. Francis of Assisi directed a live nativity scene as a form of public remembrance honoring Christ’s birth. St. Francis wanted to bring the Gospels to life, assigning parts for Mary, Joseph, the shepherds, and others so that in witnessing this reenactment, all people would learn the extraordinary story of God’s love for mankind. Often the nativity creche remains empty until Christmas Eve as a reminder that the faithful eagerly await the Christ child. And when the Divine Infant arrives, how much greater is the joy during the Christmas vigil when Baby Jesus joins the Holy Family and all humanity!
When the faithful prepare their hearts properly, the blessings of Christmas may be appreciated in full. “We Christians are called to safeguard and spread the joy of waiting,” Pope Francis declared in a Vatican address. Additionally, much as the faithful await Christ’s birth in remembrance of the first Christmas, the Catholic liturgical readings point the faithful toward awaiting Christ’s ultimate return upon Judgement Day.
According to Catholic tradition, the rejoicing of Christ’s coming lasts considerably longer than one great day. Rather, it stretches from the Christmas vigil Mass until the Feast of the Epiphany, sometimes called Three Kings’ Day.
Why did the Church choose to celebrate Christ’s birth on December 25? The most direct answer is that according to the Roman calendar, this day marked the winter solstice. Saint Augustine explained the significance of this day in remembering Christ’s coming, writing, “on the day which is the shortest in our earthly reckoning and from which subsequent days begin to increase in length. He, therefore, who bent low and lifted us up chose the shortest day, yet the one whence light begins to increase.”
The most excellent Catholic tradition of celebrating Christmas as a family is attending Holy Mass together. Even young adults who may have strayed from observing other tenets of their Catholic faith will often return to Mass with their families in order to observe the sacred Feast of the Nativity.
Christmas is a rare time when the Mass readings differ according to the order in which the Mass is offered. There are four distinct Christmas Masses. The Vigil Mass is offered at the start of Christmas Eve. The Mass of the angels is a popular celebration, offered at midnight. The Dawn Mass is called the Mass of the Shepherds; it is offered early morning. Finally, on Christmas Day, the priest offers the Mass of the Divine Word.
The Christmas octave is punctuated with a feast that originally honored Christ’s circumcision. In present times, the Catholic Church commemorates the first day of the year as the Feast of Mary, Mother of God. This holy day respects Mary’s unique human privilege of forming Christ physically and spiritually before releasing Him into the world to fulfill His divine salvific work.
The end of the Christmas season points toward this extraordinary mission for which God entered the world. According to Catholic tradition, the Magi, called the Three Kings, spent 12 days following a star. The brilliant star led them to Bethlehem, where Jesus had just been born. The Wise Men—Melchior, Caspar, and Balthazar—presented three symbolic gifts to the Holy Family for their newborn son. The kings presented to the Divine Child gold to honor His kingship, frankincense to honor His priesthood, and myrrh to honor His humanity.
Many families around the world present gifts to one another either in celebration of Christmas Day or in commemoration of the Three Kings. The faithful fulfill the Christmas spirit when offering their own hearts to the Divine Messiah who humbled Himself to enter the world as a small child.

I pity you, how many lives have you lived here on this beginner planet and you've learned nothing. This is my last visit here and all I can say is I pity all of you, you know not what you do.You are your own hell and you are here, now. What am I in this case? Your heaven?
Good business practices.None of the above.
Until the super popular book "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens came out, Christmas throughout Europe and the Americas was nowhere near the holiday it became.
It was a minor holiday, many didn't even celebrate it at all. There might be a "Christmas dinner" and wealthier children might receive a gift. That was about it.
After the book was released in record sales, it dramatically popularized the holiday.
Still to this day.
