MICHAEL:  How about: appreciation; sharing; friendship?  This is what I hoped to convey this evening, how the very existence of spirit, of truth and beauty and goodness in your life--just to realize these things exist--are the proof within your own soul of their Creator, as well as your own co-creation.  This realization is your own creative act of spirit, my son, and the basis for the most profound inner tranquility.  It is an enormous leap of human realization and understanding to credit that--everything--that exists only exists by way of a deliberate creation, initially of God’s, then shared with all personal beings.  Nothing just comes about truly spontaneously in point of origin.  All creativity is of the spirit, and all spirit is personal.  This is the basis for your enlightened thankfulness--your conscious appreciation, your enhanced shared joy and delight in each other, and in our Father.  Is that worship enough?

Student:  Yes--very much so.  I expect it will get more and more expansive as time goes by.

MICHAEL:  Well, my son, that’s that wonderful orientation of my Spirit of Truth within you.  You’re being open to more truth and you will indeed (Michael chuckles) grow with it.  Keep that orientation, and be in my peace.

Student:  Thank you, Father Michael.

Student:  Good evening, Michael.  My question tonight is along the lines of your talking about people coming together and enjoying one another, and sharing in their spirit.  I see it as a whole continuum of the way we come together.  Is there, from your perspective, your mind, a time when it goes from being people coming from a deeper spiritual sharing in what we could call a religion--and how that spirit of wanting to come together and worship together…  How much is there a qualitative difference between people getting together in the holidays and having a good meal versus people getting together and sharing a religious ritual together?
