===Topic: ''Be Open to the Superabundance of Awareness''===
[Note:Dear Folks, I hope that my capitalizing all the pronouns referring directly and exclusively to Michael, Mother Spirit, or God is helpful in keeping in mind just "Who" they are, and not an intrusion. It seemed a good idea when I started, so hopefully this intention is worthy of the actual effect. Jerry]

Be Open To The Superabundance of Awareness
  −
 
   
Dear Mother Nebadonia and Michael, We thank You for answering a basic need of ours by letting us know again and again that there is no limit to how many times we, in turn, can call upon You for guidance, and just to share our lives with us. Help us to make the whole realm of spirit real, to see the effects of what is invisible, to feel in our hearts what our minds can only intimate, and then to share with our fellows that which is almost inexpressible. For this we are very grateful to invite You, again, this evening, to be with us. Amen.

Michael: Good evening, My children. This is Michael. Once again I welcome you to be in My peace. Let it fill your hearts with an assurance that I am here. I will never leave you. I will be your companion to the end of your days here, and then on into the glorious future that awaits each one of you. This is My promise. It comes from our Father, through your Mother and I, and it is something that you can know. You asked for Our help to make Our presence real for you. This, My children, is within your ability, and your power, and your understanding. It is within all of these that this takes place.

===Lesson===
 
This knowledge is not affected by temporary doubts or questioning that may cross your mind. It is larger than these. So never fear to question, never fear to explore, never fear to test your own knowledge of spirit. For spirit is beyond all of these and is capable of answering every question you put to it. Indeed, this is how you know. And so We welcome your questions. Bring them to Us, your Mother and I, for We delight in answering. We delight in any contact you offer Us. Now: when events in your lives threaten to overwhelm you, remember Us then especially. We realize that this takes a presence of mind, a courage of detachment in the very moment when you feel threatened or overwhelmed. This can come from your own strength of character - a strength of your personality that preservers through anything that may come your way. It is the strength of this continuity of your own presence of mind that is increased by contact with Us. It is something that you co-create with Us. It is a major dimension in which We offer you to grow.

Can you take some small portion of your life, now, from moment to moment, to give to Her who provides the very connection to your life? Can you worship and give thanks that it is possible, it is within your power to acquire this ability to be aware of Her presence, the presence of mind? Consider this awhile, my sons, and if you have any questions about this, or anything else weighing on your hearts this evening, it is always Our delight to answer you.

===Dialogue===
 
Student: Michael, I have two very difficult questions I would like to put on the table this evening. They are weighing heavy on my mind. The first question concerns relationship, relations between a man and a woman and a marriage. I would like to ask: at what point, how does one know when the dimming of love in a relationship has reached such a point where it is no longer feasible to continue on with the relationship, especially when children are involved? I present this very difficult question to you this evening, Michael.

Student: Thank You, Father, for Yours and Mother’s support and encouragement. I’m learning, little by little, to turn life over to You for guidance, and loosen my own grip on life, and I’m experiencing more peace and faith when things start to work out. And as You mentioned, time doesn’t seem to work out in my own time frame - that I want it to work out in, but it does work out. I’m learning to give my own time frame up and let You and Mother govern the time frame, because You do a better job on this than I do, obviously. So thank You very much.

===Closing===
 
Michael: You’re welcome, My son. Tonight I wanted to offer a vision, an insight, into all the different kinds of time that human society, as a whole, has both invented and discovered, and remind you of the organic, living continuum that they are based on. This way you get an appreciation of both the living continuity of time, and also the extremely precise measurements of it you all enjoy so casually. I thank you for your growing trust in Us, My son, and let Me assure you there are many, many, many more kinds of time to encounter. And be in My peace.
