I wish to commune with you today for the duct of this new year. The cycle of time is something which is at the same time inexorable and beautiful. The cycle of seasons, stars, the constant changes that are shaking our lives are all small stones arranged in the path of our lives to show us our way back home, back to the divine infinite, that lost paradise that we must claim as it is our basic right to return to this state of grace.
For most of you and as for me, 2010 was a year of changes, a year with many new ideas that have sprouted and a year while which life took you off guard sometimes quite brutally. However, these rude awakening should not be condemned but rather honored. For all the changes and challenges that stand are as many opportunities to find your true self, to show the world and yourself the flame that resides in your heart.

When I talk about spirituality, citizen often tell me that it is illogical to believe in a god that would leave many things happening in the world. Others wonder why life seems to punish them. Commonly in response I smile and sympathize. But I can assure you that there is no God who has forsaken you or has been trying to persecute you. Because all of that would presupposes the existence of a God outside of you. But God, Allah, Buddha, the Holy Spirit, the Christ consciousness that incarnated fully in this man named Jesus, the Great Spirit of Native Americans, the divine is anywhere and therefore seat at this occasion in you. This force is pure love, goodness, infinite abundance, customary beauty. It is the Alpha and the Omega, the starting and end of all things. It is the twinkling stars at night, the scent of jasmine at dawn, the laughter of a child, the love that burns in the eyes of a couple, the soar of the eagle, the song of an orca... But it is also the transformation of the body after burial, the explosion of stars, the transformation of autumn leaves that feed the young oaks in the spring...
Traditionally, the New Year is a time when we rate the closed year and announce good intentions for the one to come. But alas at that time we often feel guilty and criticize life or God for what we experienced. It is also the time when we redrew the map of our goals and our wishes by deciding to erase the past year. Early in the new year, it is customary to wish citizen a new beginning. We wish citizen to start over and to accumulate a estimate of things which should bring the peace they so desire. I decided to break with tradition and wish you a year 2011 in my way. This will perhaps seem strange but take it as a sincere token of my love for you, that I know you personally or not.
Firstly I hope you will not forget 2010. Enjoy that year with its blessings and its challenges. They have shaped you and were many opportunities for you to grow, evolve, move transmit on your path. Our eternal souls from the firmaMent dream our lives just to make us grow and help us to return home. Take the example of a great athlete who lost a major competition. He do not forget, he learns from his failure, turn his training and then win the next competition. He does not turn his back on his past and does not drown in his misery. So look at the year 2010 with a half smile. Thank it for having led you to the shores of 2011, for it has taught you these lessons, it has supported you in your real quest. Now you can look towards the time to come with the wisdom of experience.
Finally I will wish you one thing for the arrival year. Something so high-priced that if you have it then, health, material abundance, corporeal love, all this will come naturally to you at the best time. I wish you will find the love of the divine in you. I do not mean necessarily that you will become religious because it has nothing to do with it. I am talking about looking this unconditional love in you, this star that shines brightly in the palm of your heart and which will help you to play your score in the symphony of life. Gandhi said "if a man reaches the heart of his own religion, he stands, therefore, in the heart of all the others religions" (note: it is my own translation from the French quote). For me each one's own religion is about the way each of you realize the divine and the infinite in everything, how you can become an expression of this primordial energy: unconditional love. When you see how to embrace the divine in all then you find God, then you meet with your true self and you open your eyes to your place in the universe. When you fall in love with the world, you fall in love with yourself and you begin the most gorgeous of the romances: the one with Creation. Therefore all you will need to be in fact happy will appear on the path you dance.
Finally, I would quote the Psalms 103.1 and 103.2 of David: "Praise the Lord, my soul! All that is within me, praise his holy name. Praise the Lord, my soul, and never forget all the good he has done". For this year 2011, I wish you awaken to the Lord in you, that is to say, the divine being you are. That all in you and in your life celebrate and sing your awakening.
Happy New Year 2011.
