  • This winter solstice, we invite you to experience something extraordinary - a magical Christmas story that transcends traditional religious boundaries and speaks to the universal longing for light within us all. In this special episode of Musings from the Mount, Michael Lindfield shares "The Promise of Light," a remarkable tale that came to him through an angelic presence at Scotland's Findhorn Community in 1985.

    As the longest night of the year embraces us, Michael's story weaves together themes of cosmic music, inner awakening, and the eternal promise of light that lives within every human heart. Through the eyes of two children visited by an angel on Christmas Eve, we discover how the Christmas story is part of a greater symphony being composed across the cosmos - one in which we all play a vital part.

    This isn't just another Christmas story - it's an invitation to understand the deeper meaning behind all spiritual traditions that celebrate the return of light. Whether you're celebrating Christmas, Solstice, Hanukkah, or simply seeking meaning in the darkness of winter, this episode offers a fresh perspective on the universal human experience of discovering our inner light.

    Join Michael Lindfiled and Joseph Carenza for this heartwarming episode that reminds us that we are all carriers of divine light, each of us a Christmas story waiting to be told through how we choose to live our lives.
