Alex Thomson asks: Christmas – with or without Christ?

by Alex Thomson 23rd December 2016

After being told I had cancer, I became aware of God’s presence, and the realisation that the only separation between ‘me’ and God is created by my belief in being separate! Coming back into the ‘real’ world, I did not want to leave behind this awareness of God’s presence. But living in a world of separation I exist as an individual, with billions of other individuals, where there is an increasing movement towards individualism. The collective belief in being separate individuals is causing so much suffering, I wonder if this is a world I want to live in.
