Dr. Jacobs is feeling some Christmas nostalgia today and wondered, "What is this feeling, so sudden and new?" To get to the bottom of this, of course, he's going to explore the topic of human nature and divine essence and energies. Diving back into the history of ideas and coming out the other side with the answer: all creation groans.

But this one….
This one was absolutely awesome.
Even brought a tear to my eye at the end because your explanation was so on point.
I could see it and I longed for it.
I think I might start talking to my plant telling them to hang on, soon, very soon, we will all be alive more than we can comprehend.
Thank you
Your X mas present to us all.
