Changes

   

   

Student:  Pretty much so.  I can see how there is a strong tendency to nail it all down--so to speak--and make it all just so, and get people to respond in a certain way.  But it would be nice to allow people to be free--to choose to come and go in whatever they believe; it would really make a [[difference]].

MICHAEL:  Well, once you socialize your religious [[feelings]], there is some deliberate planning involved in getting together.  Since you are in such a mobile [[society]] these days, it means you are scattered around so much more now than in the past.  But by the same token, you can utilize all your modern modes of transportation and [[communication]] to get together again.  You begin to glimpse the [[meaning]] of meaning.  But all the planning, all the shopping and buying presents for each other, all the decorations and [[music]], all this is to lead to that [[moment]] of [[literally]] being outside yourself in the sharing, the--ex--in [[ecstasy]], is it not?  This is the [[laughter]] and the tears of [[joy]], the [[profound]] [[worship]], the profound [[Gratitude|thankfulness]] that we are!  And that we are [[unique]] [[beings]] given each other--all these other unique beings [[Encompassing|surrounding]] us.

MICHAEL:  Yes, my daughter, just as it is with you.  Once you are aware of your own spiritual nature, you can more readily perceive this in others, and how they, as unique individuals, are [[manifesting]]--or crippled in manifesting--that hallmark of [[spirit]]--[[creativity]].  You are intuiting that the lack of inner spiritual development, which I could perceive directly, this lack of creativity was what handicapped them, and made them merely fearfully reactive.  If you will, they did not have the [[grace]] of humility to open themselves to something greater than themselves, which was right within them too--their own spiritual nature.  This rendered them incapable of recognizing mine--or each others’.  These are the poor-in-spirit individuals who live in [[Negativity|cynicism]] and see all [[humanity]] either as victors or victims, powerful users of others, or mere chumps to be used.  That is their only [[frame of reference]].
