A viewer asks: “The following questions are something I have been pondering for quite some time. When I heard the channeling of Josef Mengele, approximately at the 2:00:00 time mark, talking about Santa Claus, it triggered this question again. Here is the quote from the channeling: “…We can tell you there is a Santa Claus in the Divine that does more than bring gifts but it requires belief.” I can tell you unabashedly that I never stopped believing in Santa Claus. My belief has only matured and expanded as I have gotten older. My daughters just turned 7 and 10, respectively, in September. They both still believe in Santa. I know at some point in the near future the topic of Santa Claus being real will come up. I do not like to lie to my children. I would love some clarity on this subject so as I can be as honest and truthful with my children as appropriate. From my research, there seems to have been a Santa Claus or a Saint Nicholas in the past. Can you tell me if there ever was a Santa Claus in the physical and what their purpose or life mission was/is?”

The figure of Santa Claus is the embodiment of charitable giving, a divine attribute that is a soul characteristic of divine consciousness and imbued in everyone to varying degrees. This description of the physical embodiment of charitable giving has arisen a number of times in various cultures, because it is a divine theme that harmonizes with the divine plan for humanity to be bringers of love and solve the rise of evil. The reason you have been captivated by the idea of Santa Claus, in fact, is that it is resonating within you deeply, with your divinity. And your being attracted to the story of Santa Claus and encouraging that with your children is an expression of divine love, as is the very story of Santa Claus to begin with. Many have embraced that theme and acted out the part, with or without the name and trappings provided by cultural lore. It is a beautiful expression of why people need help and how the answer will often come from an external source in the form of a charitable gift. In fact, a majority of people at one time or another become a Santa Claus in the dispensing of their love in one way or another, to someone in need. In many ways, this story of Santa's gift-giving cuts to the chase with something practical, because it describes an interchange between a giver and receiver and not something done solely for personal benefit. Much of organized religion is the latter in its expression, as so many acts of worship formally, in churches, synagogues, and mosques, involves directing thoughts to the Almighty in some way or another as a kind of obedience, like a penalty to make up for one's perceived sins, for example. Our perspective is that people's time would be much better spent loving one another than simply paying tribute to us as supplicants. We would be just as happy if everyone became a Santa Claus in some way in their community, than visit a religious building on a strict schedule and take part in rote prayer exercises.
