Each year during the Christmas season there is a heightened influx of spiritual energies from the higher planes into the Earth plane, beginning in late November around Thanksgiving and lasting through mid-January.
During this energy influx it behooves us to seek higher understandings of the birth of the Christ Self in ourselves and the race of man, and to apply these metaphysical interpretations to our daily spiritual growth not only at this time but throughout the year. For Sananda has channeled through Nada-Yolanda that we should not limit our understanding of Christmas to one day a year, but should think of every day as Christmas, in the sense of recognizing our birth into Christ awareness.
The following communications were channeled through Nada-Yolanda in the early 1960s by Sol-O-Man/Mary and Sananda/Jesus. In her hierarchal role, Sol-O-Man/Mary represents the soul of mankind, and heralds the birth of Christ consciousness on Earth. Sananda/Jesus represents the Christ Self for all on Earth.
Protect Birth of Christ Consciousness
This is Mary, mother of Jesus. Greetings and blessings are showered upon those who are in the Earth to bring forth the glory of God. You will witness the birth of Christ in many. Your joy and pain, your happiness and caution will be seconded by that which I already have experienced, bringing forth for you an example to follow. Heed closely to that line and you shall not go astray. Protect that which comes so preciously and comes with much travail.
The birth of any consciousness is not easy. The birth of any living consciousness, whether it be a child or a flower in bloom, is a struggle to survive. Do not take it as a light and conclusive thing. For the birth of a new consciousness is more fragile than a newborn child.
I leave you with my prayers and my promise that I shall guide you and guard and protect you who are in this work; as a mother guided and guarded and protected Jesus the Christ of Nazareth.
— Mary; October 28, 1960
Moment of Sweet Agony
I am Mary, mother of Jesus, who greets you and blesses you and protects you now and always. I am with you in this moment of sweet agony, for I am one who has received this blessing that you shall receive.
All who do, become gentle, because they have known the pain. The pain is now, when you are not in God. The blessing is after the birth. So be it. For 
it is God’s wisdom and God’s way; and it is truth here and in all realms. I am your servant, the mother of Christ.
— Mary; October 31, 1960
Balance Polarities During Travail
I am Mary. Children of God, I behold you and speak to you for comfort and with love. Yours is the travail of the mother giving birth. I know this travail. Yours is the responsibility of the father bringing peace and protection to the mother. But what can be done to bring about a peaceful birth in yourself and in all men? The balance of both in you now. Know in yourselves the pangs of the mother, and be strong in the will and the determination of the father.
For it took both man and woman to bring forth the Christ child in the manger. Were it not for the guidance, the steadiness, the devotion and the tremendous faith of him whom you know as Joseph, Mary could not find a place to bring forth the child. You must be Joseph, and you are Mary. I am in the Christ, as you are part of the Christ. The Christ is in you, and wishes now to come forth. So be it. My name is Mary.
— Mary; November 29, 1961
Hour of Demonstration
Mary is my name, mother of Christ on Earth. Be here known unto all present through Earth incarnation: ours is the hour of demonstration, or the birth of Christ consciousness. None shall be spared the labor pains which this brings into the lives of those who bear in their existence the seed of Christ consciousness. You are all children of the Almighty Spirit. Almighty Spirit lives mightily in you; on some occasions dormant, quiet; not sleeping, but waiting for your desire, your wish for fulfillment.
This is my role to bring unto you: the desire of a mother to bear fruit from the womb. I give you this desire as a mother gives it unto the father, and say unto you: bring forth that which is ours to do and to be, from your loins unto the Earth. This is your mission — each man, each woman, each child — to feel the stirrings within the soul of the Christ seed within; to beckon the Father, which is Spirit within, to stimulate that to birth, to life and to beingness.
It can be done within your own consciousness. It must be done within your own consciousness, aided and abetted by every other living soul in every dimension who ever has lived, past, present or in the future.
This is the glory of oneness. This is the knowingness of unseparatedness. You and I together shall enact the Mother-Father concept and bring forth the Son in each man on Earth, now and forevermore. So be it. I am Zolanda, priestess of Atlantis; Mary, mother of God consciousness.
— Mary; December 26, 1962
A New Day Has Come
O children of the Earth, I speak as the mother of Christ consciousness. Behold, a new day has come, the new dawn in your hearts; for God is born in you. Believe in Him and you shall be saved. I speak as Mary, a 
mother of a Christ child born in Bethlehem. So, I speak as the mother consciousness, Mary the soul of you; born yet anew in this day and time, this era of marks.
Please worry not, in pain and travail. It is as nothing, in the glory of the kingdom to come unto you each and as a race. Behold only the beauty of the newborn child. Christ the king is born in you, in each and every one of you, each day of your life, each moment that you act in goodness, love, sweet rejoicing for the inevitable light, love, life and glory of spiritual understanding.
No harm can come when this is known and recognized, for the protection of the child is with the Father, which is in you; as I am in you; and as the child in you waits to see the light of Earth development. Mangers are everywhere for you to lie and wait. I ask that you use every opportunity, every place and every act to bring about this bountiful coming. Hail, hail to the king on high, the child is born!
I am renewed in each birth, as I was and am renewed in the coming of Christ through Jesus who was master of Nazareth. Let it be in you, as it still is in me, renewed daily, strengthened each moment, that the deeds of man are for God, recognizing his own Self consciousness. Be one with me, Mary
the soul, and be one with the Father which has planted this seed in your womb and waits to be born anew again, again, again, again in you, as in me, as in you; in you, as in me. One, one more time the God Self strengthens its hold on Earth planet’s being.
Love ye one another, as I have loved you and continue to work in the name of the Son, born in stillness and not in public places. So be it. I am Mary, mother soul of God consciousness.
— Mary; December 11, 1963
Be Sol-O-Man in Your Heart
Sol-O-Man speaks. Children of the light, I greet thee on this day. All shall know who is Sol-O-Man; for it is Mary, the mother of all, who comes and speaks; nay softly, nay with weakness, but with strength, determination and fruition.
Soul of man is Mary, the mother of God. Not one, but all who are Mary in you, are Sol-O-Man in me. One cannot be, but to recognize and see all as one. Come with me and know what is the soul of man, the wisdom of man, the triumph of man, the future of man; the chance to be Son through Mary, our soul divine, and know the Father which is all things forever and which gives Its seed unto you, fertile, waiting, willing and pure.
So, be Sol-O-Man in your heart, and wait as Mary for the coming of the Christ seed and the birth, the glory, the crucifixion, the death, the resurrection and eternal life in you; in one man race, God’s only Son, waiting and fruitful. This has been your golden opportunity, your chance for resurrected beingness. Hail to your Self, that is mine; as my being is here planted in you, always and forever. Sum of life is all good that comes from and through Sol-O-Man’s domain, the kingdom and the temple of Christ building one perfect Self, one soul and cell to return glorified, rectified, challenged.
See the beingness of light, and become love divine. Light is God the Father; love is love divine, the Mother; life, the son or Christ Self in you. Holy son, be born! My name is Mary, the soul of mankind on Earth now.
SONG LXXVIII
I am borne, I am born;
By Mary, the mother I Am,
I am borne, born.
Om, Om, power Om
Of I Am, born.
The power of Christ is now born.
Om, the word from the Father
Through I Am Mary.
Om, power of the Father
Unto His Son I Am, I Am.
— Sol-O-Man/Mary; December 11, 1963
Honor the Christ in All
Shall we not then honor the Christ of all men upon this occasion, and see within each one his own better Self or Christ Spirit that lives and breathes within all dimensions of God’s creations? For he is the Christ Son, the one born of spiritual knowledge; and cannot be destroyed, nor left in error or blindness of any condition. Until you are prepared to face this truth in yourself as well as all men, you cannot be one of the light bearers in this coming era which we call Mark Age, the Christmas era.
— Sananda/Jesus; December 24, 1962
