===Opening===
 
Prayer: Dear Mother and Michael, How really great this is--having You in our lives like this. We feel especially blessed to be alive at this critical phase of our world’s history. As we read and reread Your lessons and let their meaning soak in and affect us, we feel again Your love, and experience again Your peace and reassurance. Slowly it dawns on us that this world, this whole universe we live in is not only full of enormous, mysterious physical and material happenings, but it is peopled by hundreds of different kinds of personal beings. And so it is not only what is behind the phenomena of the universe, but who, leading all the way up to that ultimate person, God himself. So we thank You very sincerely for helping bring God into our lives as a person. Amen.

NEDADONIA: Good evening, My children, this is your mother, Nebadonia. I welcome and appreciate--your appreciation of Me and these insights and understandings I am able to offer you. As your Urantia Book puts it so succinctly, the one English word that most closely defines what We mean by the attributes of divinity, that word is—sharing; and it is such a delight for Us to be able to share what We can with you. We tease you with just a little bit more than what you may be able to understand immediately, and so We appreciate too this extra effort you put into understanding our lessons, really opening your hearts and minds to feel the impact of Our words, to feel the love We have for you.

===Lesson===
 
As Michael said last week, you can think of this sharing as the reason our Father created such a vast universe and then peopled it with such a wide range of beings--so that He could share creation with so many others. You have personal beings such as the Architects of the Master Universe who decide that, here’s an empty space where we can put another galaxy. For even on this level, God is sharing His creativity; and then all the way down to human beings, creating you in such a way that you have an opportunity to creatively shape your own lives.

===Dialogue===
 
Student: Mother, I have a comment and a question. The comment is actually a heartfelt Thank You for all the changes You and Father Michael have made in me with the support of Donna from the Center for Christ Consciousness. I’m beginning to feel as though I’m a real human being again, and that I’m getting closer to You and Father Michael in experience. So truly, thank You for all Your support, and all the changes.

As I said in My last lesson, this will require a respect for the diversity of culture and the whole historical evolution of the different races and cultures which has brought you to this point. But that in turn relies on each individual feeling strong and at peace within himself or herself with their own true past experiences--in other words--what absolutely happened, not by mere comparison to something or someone else. People sometimes feel belittled in their comparisons to others, not knowing, as we just talked about, these comparative generalities are their own projections.

===Closing===
 
So as We have asked of you before, and you have recognized in your prayers to Us, try to beam back to everyone you encounter their absolute reality in your eyes. Cherish them for all the diversity they were created in by first finding the peace in your own heart that will allow you to see them this way. And be in My love.
