		<description>I mistyped:

&quot;Saturn can/will often confuse us as we often conflict with our own selves (Ego) when the spirit of CHRISTmas is the exact opposite in his own nature.&quot;


It is NOT Saturns nature to confuse us as we often confuse ourselves through our own intentions/agendas.  Saturn is the mythilogical father Cronos that eats his own children.  I portray an ugly miconception because we identify the problems in our lives the very same way.  When we are the true enemy of our own sucess.  We stand in our own way as we need to be taught to submit ourselves to God and our perception changes.  Our reality is that thoughts transform into substance.  Think the word storm and lightning flashes but that is another lesson.</description>

		<description>Forgive the obscurity for a brief moment:


Saturn is the threshold, the boundary and the ego structure without which we are unable to function effectively in the world.
he is as high of ascension as most people achieve because of the ego.  He resides in the spear of Binah of the Great Tree of Life and can sometimes be construed as an ultimate high but not the Ultimate High most appointed as He.  

The word manger in french (maingeure) is derivited of mangier- to eat.  The undertone of consumption of the saviour which in my definition is the origin of most commercialism that we have Consumed the spirit of Christ (Christmas) and not absorbed him.  How much time do we spend on justifying him to ourselves and others that we forget to live as he taught?  

Saturn can/will often confuse us as we often conflict with our own selves (Ego)  when the spirit of CHRISTmas is the exact opposite in his own nature.  This is not Saturn&#039;s will, as his intentions are to give gold instead of stone.  Jesus was crucified and died for our sins and Saturn&#039;s lesson is to crucify our own ego in order to ascend into the next sphere of Bliss.

Now back to your dilemna.  Most people can barely ponder the back of their own head let alone be asked to  sacrifice anything of themselves for even one day when their whole existence evolves around their own feelings.  I am not justifying them in any way but I am mocking the spirit in which we feel a need to satisfy a void temporaily for one day when we truly need it for all our lives in everyway (The way He originally meant it to be!)  


&quot;Give away the stone let the waters kiss and transmutate these leaden grudges into gold&quot;
