Awakening the Christ Child Within with Archangel Uriel

The Eternal Wonder of Christmas

As Christmas draws near, its spirit whispers to every heart: open wide and welcome the radiant light of the Christ consciousness.

The Christ Child that we see depicted as the infant Jesus, is a symbol of innocence and purity that represents the divine spark within each of us—a spark that is longing to be ignited, nurtured, and reborn. Allow this profound image in Christian and esoteric teachings remind you of the immense potential for love, light, and renewal that lies waiting in every soul.

The story of the Christ Child is born again today, here and now, in the sanctuary of our hearts. And, this divine presence, pure and holy, is a wellspring of joy, love, and truth—always ready for us to recognize and embrace. As the Christ Child grows within, so too does our capacity to radiate that divine love outward, transforming not only ourselves but the world around us into a reflection of divine beauty.

Christmas rituals take on new depth when approached with reverence. A humble nativity scene, adorned with the symbolic gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh, becomes a mirror of the threefold flame—power, wisdom, and love—anchored within. The soft glow of a candle, the scent of incense rising like a prayer, and the act of decorating the tree can all become sacred expressions of devotion. These small, heartfelt gestures lift the burdens of the past year and help awaken the divine within, making every moment a hymn to the Christ Child.

Archangel Uriel gently reminds us of the pure hearts of children, who, in their innocence, are closest to the heavenly realms. Christmas is their time to shine, to see their inner light reflected in the twinkle of a Christmas tree, the warmth of family love, and the magical wonder of the season. By drawing them into these sacred traditions, we rekindle their innate connection to the divine and, in turn, reconnect with our own.

Children deal with concrete realities.
And their fairy friends and playmates, gnomes and elementals,
come out in full array for the hustling and bustling of Christmas,
the fun and the play.
So many of these little ones converse with beings of other dimensions,
but they fear to tell their parents.
They fear the mockery of the carnal mind beset with superstitions
of psychology and respectability.
But with a word of encouragement,
a smile, and a twinkle of the eye,
children at Christmas time reenter the heaven world
whence they came so recently trailing clouds of glory
from the octaves of light.

Let Christmas then be for the children
a renewing of old friendships
and of ties on the inner planes.
Let Christmas be the eternal wonder
of the Christ Child born in the manger of their hearts!

The joy Archangel Uriel describes is eternal. It is the joy that flows from the divine flame residing in every soul—a joy that, once embraced, dispels all shadows and ignites a hope that cannot be extinguished. It is a light that illumines our path, a love that heals all wounds, and a truth that sets us free.

And as you trim the tree,
Know that it is the truth
That we would see
Shooting up as evergreen
Shining in the hearts of all.

For the coming of the Christ
Is the coming of the truth
That shall make all mankind free.

The holly and the ivy,
The mistletoe and the pine—
Fragrance of nature and of Holy Spirit—
These are signs unto the soul
That truth is knocking at the door.
