<p>XMAS/CHRISTMAS</p>
<p>“Xmas” is not originally an attempt to exclude Christ from Christmas, but uses an abbreviation of the Greek spelling of the word “Christ” with the “X” representing the Greek letter <i>chi</i>.</p>

<p>In traditional <a title="Chinese culture" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_culture">Chinese culture</a>, <i><b>qi</b></i> (more precisely <i><a title="Standard Chinese phonology" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Chinese_phonology#Tones">qì</a>,</i> also <i><b>chi</b></i>, <i><b>ch'i</b></i> or <i><b>ki</b></i>) is an active principle forming part of any living thing.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qi#cite_note-1"><span>[</span>1<span>]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qi#cite_note-2"><span>[</span>2<span>]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Frantzis_3-0" class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qi#cite_note-Frantzis-3"><span>[</span>3<span>]</span></a></sup> <i>Qi</i> is frequently translated as "natural energy", "life force", or "<a title="Energy (esotericism)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_(esotericism)">energy</a> flow". <i>Qi</i> is the central underlying principle in traditional Chinese <a title="Traditional Chinese medicine" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traditional_Chinese_medicine">medicine</a> and <a title="Chinese martial arts" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_martial_arts">martial arts</a>. The literal <a title="Translation" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translation">translation</a> of "<i>qi</i>" is "breath", "air", or "gas".</p>
<p>The word spirit can also be traced to breath. The holy spirit is called the comforter in the Bible and actually means the sacred breath. The image below is named The Red Cross of Constantine and the Chi is represented in this symbol. </p>

<p>I will definately look into this more, but Chi also represents or is a god in Igbo mythology also known as Odinani. In just a short period of time, I have been able to link or connect several pieces of information and will no doubt chuckle to myself when I hear or read, "We must put the Christ back in Christmas!" </p> @TP-This is more than great--…tag:redpilltraining.ning.com,2014-05-03:3561936:Comment:728772014-05-03T23:59:31.808ZClifford Blackhttps://redpilltraining.ning.com/profile/CliffordBlack
