0:00 Intro Heidi to Christmas in Italy
1:25 Paul Smith introduces himself. “Integral Christianity”. “INtegral Christian Network”
2:25 Luke Healey —-
3:35 The important of the enchanting Christmas in childhood. The stages of development and the form of religion. Push back on Christianity, despite we are grounded in Christian culture.
5:50 Paul on religion and integral theory. “A new Christmas story – God in 3D”.
7:20 The dimensions of God. The integral perspectives on the Christmas story: God beyond us: transpersonal God, the I-AM God the cosmic dimension. God as higher Consciousness = God being us. God with us = the personal God.
10:50 Heidi on Jesus being born somewhere = only one dimension
11:25 Luke: What Christmas was for him: God with us = 2nd person dimension = connection. From there include incarnation, in ourselves = God being us.
13:10 How integral has informed his vision of Christmas. Transcend and include – also the sense of wonder! Sacred ritual.
16:15 2000 years of Christianity – maybe the commercialisation helps to keep the message somehow alive, maybe the real meaning can be back some time.
18:15 Paul: “we are the baby in the manger!”. Integral gave him a new picture of Jesus. He emerges as a universal person. The universal Christ. He can welcome all expressions now.
22:20 Was Jesus on the integral level of development? – Paul answers.
23:15 Luke on Jesus being integral. The true meaning of Christmas: Different meaning on different stages. Children of God are gods. Incarnation.and being fully human.
26:00 “We are god” – the blasphemy or inflated ego versus the truth
Paul responds: “Iam in the process of owning my divinity”. Non-separation, non duality. Distinction in writing od/God. Orthodox church: diofication. “God being us” , “point of light in us”, Quote of Hafiz. Needing to keep all 3 dimensions of God for not moving out of balance
30:20 Luke: The conception of GOD. The language we use is important.
31:45 Heidi: Humans are mixed good/evil. Is this God, too?
32:45 Paul: that’s why we need a God beyond us. Higher consciousness and the experience of Oneness, where good and evil is not a problem. Starting making it one here on earth.
34:40 Heidi: The concepts good/evil is human quality and construction, called to transcend this duality
35:55 Luke: RIchard Rohr: “we have an image and a likeness of the divine”. Process to become beings of love and light.
37:15 Heidi: need to redefine our understanding of divinity. Paul: responds on why Jesus got mad on the evil of exclusion and separation.
38:20 Luke about his children living Christmas. Christmas carols and the challenge of the developmental needs.
40:20 Paul: about the language of Christmas songs: all male words. His book “Is it ok to call God “Mother””, change into female? Drives some people crazy. Now he came to the point to sing the male words, just joins in as he know that God is not either. Adjusting to the stage where people are at.
42:40 Heidi: At least Mary exists in the catholic church. Paul: more appearances of Mary increased in the last years. People need a feminine presence. Mary increased also in the Moslem populations. Mary and Mary Magdalene are both spiritual guides of Paul.
44:55 Feminists and religion. Why has the feminine been so excluded? Paul: because of men being in charge. MAybe still long time before a woman can be pope. Progressive Christianity: God is male and female. Patriarchy is abnormal.
47:00 Patriarchy was normal with the appearance of the solar masculine. “Men made God in their image” Luke expands on the stages of development. We need to find new ways for experiencing our spiritual expression. On being spiritual pioneers.
50:15 How would “Integral Christmas” look like? Paul responds from his experience in a baptist bookstore.: 2 Mariys and no Josef in a nativity scene.
52:00 Luke: what he is doing with his children. Everyone has to figure it out by themselves when they don’t want to go to traditional church. Need to create new spaces is the passion of Luke.
54:02 Paul about the we-space groups on Zoom: “Whole body mystical awakening” Entering into the mystical level, where many problems resolve and gives you more energy to go out.
57:30 Heidi: Going to amazing churches can bring you into contact with the devine.. Church as a building has a special power., especially in Christmas time.
59:10 Luke about his travels to Europe, in his city San Louis is also nice decoration in the church, but he doesn’t feel to attend any service there.
1:01:00 Heidi: Music in an empty cathedral is heart opening, music as a means of connecting with the divine.
1:02:55 Luke:Christmas: go to the heart and to the body, not thinking too much. Feel the childlike love and wonder! Engage with all 3 faces of God from the heart space.
1:04:20 Paul: would have said what Luke said. Heidi: Listen to the Christmas songs in an acoustically inspiring room sing along. Music is the stairway to heaven.
