Good evening. This is Welmek, your friend and teacher. It is good to be with you again after our short break. I have another topic prepared for our discussion this evening. But before we move into that, I ask you now if you have any questions or comments on the previous series of lessons we did on recoursing your life?

Good evening. This is Welmek, your friend and teacher. It is [[good]] to be with you again after our short break. I have another topic prepared for our discussion this evening.

Student: Welmek I have a question on when we were on our ship with our indwelling spirit as our pilot. Where is Michael and Mother Spirit on this boat?

Welmek: For the purpose of this exercise, I was not referring to them as part of the picture. This was an opportunity for you to come to a greater experiential realization within your being of the work of your Thought Adjuster.

The role and function of Michael and Mother Spirit are also unique in your life. Perhaps in other lessons, if you are willing, we will engage in lessons of an experiential nature to sense the presence of Michael and to know the function of Michael, and to sense the presence of Mother and know the function of Mother in your life.

Is this something that interests all of you? (All say yes!) Very well, I will prepare lessons that will encourage and assist you in a greater understanding of who our Divine Parents are at this local universe level. Are there any other questions or comments?

Student: I have been very, very low in energy to get through the day. I also had a very difficult time focusing. And I'm not working because of my various challenges, and therefore I have a tremendous amount of time that needs to be filled. And so I would like some advice if that's appropriate.

Welmek: Physical exercise is very important to your overall wellbeing. It will be helpful if you can engage in thirty minutes or so each day in some exercise that stimulates your body for it will also stimulate your mind and help you to become more mentally clear.

   −
Walking is very good for it is not stressful, and it will provide the stimulation that you need. And I would recommend that you do it in the morning before the heat of the day builds up for it is not advisable to walk when it is too hot. Secondly, I encourage you to seek those in a healing profession that have knowledge of those inabilities within you to concentrate, and ask for some concentration and focusing exercise, and to spend fifteen minutes, three times a day in practicing focusing your concentration.

   −
While stillness is a focusing activity, it is designed to foster your relationship with the Father. And the focusing activities I am suggesting are merely that - to help your mind respond and to improve certain cognitive functions and brain operations that are not allowing you the level of concentration you desire.

There are people in your community that can assist you, and I encourage you to now seek them out. Tell them of your problem and frustration, and let them help you. And, practice this and see what results you gain. Do you find this to be helpful?

Student: Yes, and I will seek out those people, and I will find the focusing exercises. And that should be helpful. I try to walk about twenty minutes a day, and I can easily up it to thirty. And so, I thank you very much for those thoughts.

Should I keep taking the medication, which is prescribed for Parkinson's, and also the antidepressant, which I am taking, and also medication for reduced anxiety?

Should I keep taking the medication, which is prescribed for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkinson's_disease Parkinson]'s, and also the antidepressant, which I am taking, and also medication for reduced [[anxiety]]?
   −
Welmek: This I cannot answer for you. It is not up to us to determine that which is medically prescribed for you inasmuch as this falls within the parameters of your choice and your pursuit of a greater understand about your health.

I would recommend that you have a talk with your inner spirit about your concerns about the medications that you are taking. Let your inner guidance move you in the direction that will be right for you. This is somewhat challenging, I understand, but we are concerned mainly with your spiritual growth, and helping you to go within to obtain the guidance you need in order to make decisions that are based on wisdom, insight, cooperation with your spirit, and the guidance of your Divine Source. Do you understand?

Student: I spend about a half an hour everyday in formal [[prayer]], and I'm still having a problem [[discerning]] what is me and what is my [[Thought Adjuster]]. I haven't reached a point where I feel I'm clear about how to determine [[information]] or suggestions that are coming from me or that are coming from my Thought Adjuster.

I haven't reached a point where I feel I'm clear about how to determine information or suggestions that are coming from me or that are coming from my Thought Adjuster.

Welmek: At this point, I would suggest, that it will be quite [[difficult]] for you to distinguish that which is the [[human]] mind and that which is the [[Divine]] voice. I would encourage you to spend less time in trying to discern that which is, and following those prompts within that engender those [[feelings]] of [[peace]], a sense of self-[[worth]], self-validation, [[confidence]]. These are [[character]] building times for you. And to spend time in determining when it is the Father's voice speaking to you or when it is the sound of your own mind talking to you will create a tendency to over-[[analyze]] being in [[relationship]] with the Father instead of relaxing into the [[experience]], allowing yourself to naturally respond to the current in your mind that yields more spiritized thinking.

I want you to spend time [[meditating]] on this answer after you have read the [[transcript]], for I believe that it will help you [[understand]] that you are just beginning now to [[become]] more consciously aware of a higher leading within you. And it will take many days and months of practicing [[stillness]] before you are more confident that you are indeed receiving [[guidance]]. For now, [[relax]]. Know that you are loved; know that you are guided, supported, and that all your needs will be met when you come to [[the Father]] and ask Him to nurture you along your [[path]]. [[Patience]] is the key. [[Perseverance]] is the [[stamina]] you need now to continue in [[faith]]. Faith will unfold and yield your life in a new direction. Does this help?

Welmek: There is a great tendency, once you begin to grow spiritually and become aware of the idea of another voice directing your life, to spend time in trying to distinguish that which is yours and that which is divine. And we acknowledge this, and we understand this. And so we are here to encourage you to know that your mind is being re-keyed, and realigned every time you spend your life communing with the Father; seeking guidance, seeking wisdom. Let this process unfold naturally.

You bring your conscious cooperation to the Father. The Father, in His ministry to you, works in your mind to conform your thinking to those thoughts of the Divine Way. It is not important to figure out where you are in this unfolding. It is not important to assess yourself: how you are growing, how you are progressing, if you are doing it right. If you are sincerely trying to do the Father's will with an open heart and a receptive mind - know that your progress is assured. That each day you practice, mastery comes that much closer.

Now that we have spent time on the [[topic]] of Recoursing your Life, I wish to spend a lesson or so on the topic of [[Rehearsing]] your [[Life]]. For this follows in that vein, and will give you an opportunity to look at how you live now, how you portray yourself to the world, and to the Father.

So I would like you now to envision yourself on a [[stage]]. There is a [[spotlight]] on you, and in front of you is an [[audience]] watching you. How do you feel? Are you nervous? Are you [[excited]]? You are onstage ready to [[perform]] for the audience. You are ready to show the world who you are. Spend a few moments in this scenario, and notice what it is that you are [[experiencing]]. (Pause) Who would like to share what they are experiencing in this picture of being onstage?

Student: Welmek, I think that I feel very much the same thing. I think an [[intense]], immediate not knowing what to do, or how to [[express]] myself, would lead me to very quickly sit down, go into [[meditation]] on that audience and just be. (Thank you.)

Student: Welmek, my experience is, I'm quite [[excited]]; my heart's beating quite fast, because I feel I have the [[opportunity]] to tell my brothers' and sisters' about my Father. And so I would say a prayer that my [[words]] will become [[Michael]]'s words; He will guide me. And in [[confidence]] I believe I will perform as expected - as I would expect. (Thank you.)

Student: Welmek, I feel a basic adequacy, and yet in another way I feel inadequate. I feel that I can face the [[audience]] with [[confidence]] and [[honesty]] and all, but I feel inadequate to bring to them something of true [[meaning]] or fulfillment. My [[fear]] is that I will just leave them flat somehow, and not to be interesting, and not bring them any- thing of importance. I feel basically something's missing; it's a form of inadequacy there. But that I've overcome some of the basic kinds of fears that people might [[experience]], and yet there's still a level where I'm afraid of a lacking. (Thank you.)

Welmek: Now I want you to continue this [[visualization]]; only in this depiction the [[light]] shining on you is the light of [[the Father]]'s [[love]] for you. And as you are onstage, you feel this light fill your body; and it is so expansive within you that you feel the light [[emanate]] from your being, so that your body is lit up from the inside out, and the people onstage see this golden [[light]] shining forth from you. Spend a few moments, and be in this light, and [[become]] this light; let it overtake you. (Long pause)

Let the light from your being reach out into the [[audience]]. Send it out to the audience. And when you feel it begin to wane, [[focus]] only on the light from above - from your Divine Source and Center, and ask for more to feed you, to [[infuse]] you. And let that overtake your being with [[strength]] and [[security]]. (Pause) Now in this state, I invite your comments on what you are [[experiencing]] now in this depiction.

Student: Welmek, I have a sense of just a wonderful balance, just perfect balance. It's like before the light I was just imploding under a thousand pairs of eyes, all focused on me; just imploding. And then this outward surge until, all of a sudden, there's just a perfect balance between that. And then I looked out and all the audience now are individuals; there is no audience, its just all these separate people. And I'm very tempted to take something out of history and just hold up a flower, and see how many smile. (Thank you.)

Student: I feel a sense of peace and openness, and an availability to fulfill whatever peoples needs might be; to act as a feedback-loop with them to try to channel wisdom, if possible. And yet I also feel a tension, and around my eyes that is just a superficial area that is stubborn and refusing to release and let this energy flow. I don't feel it as a major handicap, but just a point of interest. And I would look forward to being able to raise the consciousness of the audience and myself, somehow, in a spirit of communal exploration and hopefully - joy. (Thank you.)

Student: I feel a light within, and I feel that I could perform for the audience, either as a humorist or as a philosopher. And my self-consciousness is very much reduced, and I would have a good time, and they would have a good time when I choose to perform. (Thank you.)

Welmek: So you see, my friends, what a big difference there has been in your answers. When you thought you were on stage and the light of inspection was on you, how it made you feel - excited or self-conscious. But when the light of love and acceptance was on you, how much more peaceful and balanced and self-confident and poised you were.

   −
And so each day, as you live your life, you are on that stage; you are performing for your brothers and sisters to show them how much of the Father's love you have within you, that you reflect back to them. Each day you reveal that which you feel in staying connected to the Father. The degree, to which you are self-confident, calm, and balanced, is the degree to which you feel and express the Father's love. It is this simple.

The prompt, as it were, is to remember to look up at that spotlight and to know that it is the Fathers' light and love shining upon you, and warming your being to dissolve all feelings of self-consciousness, nervousness; that you can always put your best foot forward to the public and let them see your beauty - your gifts, your abilities to share with them something of joy.

Your world is starving for this. Your culture places great value on those who are in the public eye. These people have become the popular heroes of the day. And yet these heroes are very human, and they make many mistakes in judgment and sometimes are not very positive or inspiring role models for people to follow.

But we see you, my friends, as the true heroes. For you are, as it were, onstage each day performing for your brothers and sisters and showing them, revealing to them the ways of spirit, and helping them to see that there is another way. When you perform for your brothers and sisters know that you are not onstage without a script, without talent. You have been given much, and you are always connected to that Source, who directs you, who prompts you, who always feeds you with how to respond, and how to perform.

Welmek: Each day you are on the stage you are rehearsing your life more and more, until you will actually be that performer who responds to the audience, and gains more of a following. For what do people respond to: warmth, humor, new ideas that uplift the spirit. And when a person views a performance that inspires and makes them feel good, do they not want to share this with their friends and tell everyone about it?

Wouldn't that be a great way to validate what you have experienced in your life? Think about this my friends. You have that opportunity each day.

The idea that I also wished to address, which was in response to C's comments, was in the vein of elevating the audience to a heightened level of understanding. That when you are onstage, you are in command, you have as you say, a captive audience, and they are very responsive to infusing your words into their lives; into their being. And so you conduct, as it were, in them a new train of thought, that will permeate their being and add spiritual endowments into their lives.

This is a natural outpouring of the ministry that you perform to them. And it is not so much a conscious recognition on your part of what you do, but it is a spiritual byproduct of what occurs when you so live, and so perform your life in accordance with the Father.

And so I thank C. for raising this point, for it does give you another idea to consider as you stand on stage. What you are giving them is of high value and a great service. And I encourage you to not so much dwell on this idea as much as staying connected to your Divine Source. But know that what you do and what you offer is having a great impact on the souls of those who hear your words.

Was it not one of your great playwrights who said, "All the world is a stage, and we are but mere actors?" Act your part. Perform your role as a child of the Father, and see how you can captivate the audience as you live your life.

Welmek: I would ask each of you now to close your eyes, and ask for an impression to be made within your mind of my presence. (Pause) While I have not the form that you have, I am distinct, I am real, I am discernable. But you must see me in your mind's eye, and not with the eye of your body. And so in asking for your mind to be impressed, know that it may take some time, but you will one day see my presence. (Thank you. I look forward to it!)

For now, I enfold you in my love, and the love of our Creator Father, and Creative Mother, whose love makes our lives possible. Whose love reaches out to all, and enfolds us in family. For we are family: brother, sister, friend, guide, and our love for you only grows stronger, the more we come to know you and serve you.
