    • The other day my daughter who just turned five crawled up into my lap as a Christmas movie came on the TV. I must admit I became teary-eyed with the touching scenes of Santa and the reindeer flying through the air. At one point, my daughter carefully slipped off my lap, patted my knee, and in a consoling tone said, "You can keep watching. I'm going into the other room." This holiday season, may you all savor that place in your hearts where reindeer really do know how to fly.

    Wholeness of the Holidays - A New Article by Michael

    An Excerpt from Unconditioned Spirit by Michael Mamas

    From Chapter 23, page 94.

    I remember one of my teachers from India. He seemed to embody truth—something that resided beyond the grasp of any cultural code or tangible quality. I was privileged to watch him interface with representatives from diverse cultures. How he held himself was my greatest lesson in cultural integrity.

    He honored and showed great respect to every culture. Yet simultaneously, I could feel in his presence a level of wisdom that transcended cultural codes. The dynamics of nature were structured into his very being. He lived that level of life where humanity was clearly perceived as an expression of nature. His behavior sang the song of the mechanics of nature. He spontaneously held all cultures in that exquisite context. Every gesture, glance, and utterance was a profound lesson. He continually behaved with great respect for the uniqueness of each culture, even if it was contrary to his own norms. The very way he held himself as he interfaced with people from any culture embodied an integrity and dignity that breathed life into that culture. The wisdom underlying his behavior, however, was not overt. In fact, to most, it may have gone largely unnoticed. Wisdom is like that. It so easily slips through one's fingers.

    We share the same one universal humanity and the same one universal divinity. But we each dance to their tune in our own unique way.
