===Opening===
 
   
Dear Michael and Mother Spirit, Creator Son and Daughter of God, You are always so welcome. Last week we thanked both of You for the graciousness of Your manner, Your gentleness and support. Tonight we would like You to know that it has occurred to us, this would be the ideal way for us to relate with our fellows. So while we try for a wise and loving intention, we also need to be open and mindful of what our real effect is on others. We ask for Your help in finding the courage to know and accept this. Amen.

Michael: Good evening, My children, this is your Father, Michael; this is your human brother, Jesus. Thank you for your heartfelt appreciation. Thank you for your understanding and acknowledgment that We are always reaching out to you. But though We and our Heavenly Father want this contact, it will always be you, from a freedom that is unfathomable to you, who acknowledge Our reality in your lives. You do not have to do this. This is your choice. When you make this choice, We reach out and pour as much of Our love into you as you can stand. Let it sweep you away. Let the feeling of Our love overwhelm you. Let the tears from Our forgiveness wash you clean and ready to start anew.

===Lesson===
 
You are no small part of Us. We have given you Our nature. We are all part of the Deity Absolute, that absolute, God-created cosmic reality whereby our Father has given you so much of His fundamental power - the ability to create. You yourselves are able to initiate your new life, and you have Our help. Here let Me suggest that your true life into the future will always be somewhat new if you are on the right path. We have assured you there is no limit to how much you can grow, so why cling to an old, outgrown, hardened and callused skin of habit that you must leave behind in order to make room, in your present moment, for what is awaiting you in potential?

===Dialogue===
 
Student: Father Michael, I noticed as You were speaking, how free I am at the moment, but also how conditioned I am from the past, and that freedom scares me. I’m not sure what I’m going to do with it. But I know I’m more free than I was a year or so ago, or even yesterday. And it’s progress, not perfection, that keeps me going. Being free from the past – the traumas and incidents and conditions and decisions I made in the past – about the past…I don’t know how to overcome that…or if I can overcome it…or… I don’t know what I’m saying now… Any comment You could give me would be appreciated…

Michael: I think most people in successful friendships find ways of letting each other be, and realize everyone needs time alone with themselves - with only the company of their spiritual family. Then there are times you don’t want Our company either. Enjoy moments of feeling yourself to be totally alone in the universe. Realize a marvelous completeness in this too - for awhile. Until along comes some stark loneliness, and there is nothing so wonderful as company, again. Grant each other this ability, this freedom to be alone. Make it part of your lifestyle, work it into your relationships. Introduce this to your youngsters – as a shared ability to just say, "Excuse me. I’m going to take a walk and think about things," or, "I think I’ll meditate awhile" - however you wish to express it. And know this is a good thing. For there are romantic notions about being stuck together – friends, couples, families. A little bit of this is fun, but it can be terribly enslaving if you cling onto it. Let each other go, and enjoy the delight of meeting again - renewed and refreshed. Think about these things and read and reread them as part of your meditation.

===Closing===
 
Well, it is time to part. Yet we go forth holding each other in our hearts. As you more fully acquire this wonderful knack of freedom, you carry an ever increasing awareness and love for Me along with you – for this is where I live. I truly appreciate this. The love of My sons and daughters on all My many, many worlds is a gift that I, in My own way, find beyond My ability to contain or express. I can only thank My Father for creating Me, and surrounding Me, filling Me too with wonder.
