Here is a post of Seth on Christmas:

"Do not think that Christmas is too camp. In your civilization, when
you allow it to, it speaks to the child in you. Accept the child and
enjoy the myth, for behind the myth there is truth, and the truth is
that you are reborn. And the truth is that the inner self does have
the wonder of a child.

Other stories have been wound about those truths, but the truths
remain. The god Pan has as great a validity as Christ has. The names
change; the stories change to fit your ideas and your civilization.

Now, I prefer Pan piping his magic flutes over the countryside and
drinking wine, to a Christ born to be crucified. But that is my idea;
you pick your own.

Behind all the myths is the reality. You are born with the wonder of
a child again to remake the world in a new image. Christmas should
represent the rebirth of the self.

Seth Speaks should be called You Speak.

So listen to yourselves.

It is fashionable to think in terms of Buddha and Eastern religions.
And it is not fashionable to think of the infant Christ, for example.
So you are 'in' if you think of Buddha, and 'out' if you dare to let
a tear show when they play a Christmas carol.

The same thing is involved. You are still dealing with systems of beliefs and
myths that have grown through the ages. And each of them has their degree of
validity and their degree of distortion.

Santa Claus-Ho Ho-is relatively harmless considering what your
religions have done. If you are bad you get a hunk of coal, and if
you are good you get a goody. But what about a god who says if you
are good you will go to heaven and if you are bad you burn through
all eternity? Place your indignation where it belongs!

All of the gods in your myths die and are rewarded-from the time of
your ancient memory, and through the ages of the memory of your race.
So it is simply said again and again, in terms that you understand,
according to the time in which you think you live: That you are born
again and again, and the trials of the gods are your own, and so are
their triumphs and their joys.

The symbols used are also colored by the times, and they are
personified, so winter and the cold that sweeps across the earth are
used to symbolize the death of the soul. Not a death, however, but
transformation. If you understood your myths, you could use them
effectively. When you think that they are reality, however, they can
entrap you.

You are the stories that the Soul tells.

You are your own stories, and you create your ideas of God according to your
interpretation of greater realities that you understand and do not understand.
You are catching up with your own understanding, but as soon as you understand,
there is more to learn because creativity is never still and never done and
never finished.

In other worlds there are other Christmas tales, each with their own
story and rhyme.

But none of them denies the intense and eternal NOW which is being forever
created and in which you have your quite natural existence.

And none of it denies the joyful vitality that is your own, neither the
bewilderment in your eye, nor the pleasure in yours. All of this is meant to
illuminate the joy and ease of your own being, and meant to generate within you,
if you will forgive me, that old Ho-Ho-Ho-the vitality and the laughter and the
joy that is your being.

If you understood thoroughly what I am trying to say to
you, you would be laughing with me and enjoying your own grizzly
beard and hair, and, as you looked around at each other, you would
see yourselves as all ages, reborn time and time again and with your
identity alive within you now.

The truth is not something apart from you. You each are truth,
speaking and living in physical form. Seth Speaks is within you and
not in a book. You are the book. Then joyfully listen to what your
feelings tell you. Your thoughts and your feelings are both natural
and both yours.

And your joy is within you, Christmas or non-Christmas, Santa Claus or no Santa
Claus, December 25 or the 4th of July. Your atoms and molecules shout with the
joy of their own being; listen to them. Feel within their fleshy substance your
own spirituality.

Look at the Christmas tree; your cells and molecules shine a million
times more brightly. Your eyes glitter with far greater light.
You are love in corporeal form.

You do not have to look for it or wonder where to find it or give it in packages
with bright ribbon. You are packages with bright ribbon.

Christmas is now and was yesterday and will be tomorrow. It is in
you, in Buddha, in Pan, in Christ, in Mohammad, in an ant and in a
frog, and in your eyes and with you, each of you.

You are each, then, Christmas.

You shine and glitter whether or not you know it. You shout 'Merry Christmas'
even when you cry.

You cannot deny your own vitality or being.

Let the vitality and energy, therefore, ring out through your own
knowledge. Let it awaken within you the knowledge of your being.
Dance through your own molecules and scatter your own petals!"
