These [[morning]] gatherings are great [[laboratories]] for you to [[practice]] this exchange with your closest loved [[friends]], and we do [[witness]] that you each are [[developing]] this [[skill]]. It is naturally spilling over into your other [[relationships]]. We witness the rise of those who can live [[the gospel]].[[Return of Michael|Michael will someday return to this world]] for all to witness, [[humans]] as well as the [[celestials]], but his [[method]] for doing so is to first return within you and to be [[expressed]] as you. Then he will return to greet himself, in a [[manner]] of speaking. This is the fellowship he seeks with all.

You are once again approaching the close of another calendar [[cycle]]. It is fitting to [[reflect]] upon your [[goals]] and [[ideals]] as well as to recognize and work towards eradicating those [[factors]] of yourself you wish to discard that are acting as unnecessary weight on your flight to [[Paradise]]. These culturally based [[events]] are effective in rejuvenating the inner work, though we would [[encourage]] you to consider every day as the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Year's_Day New Year day]. To take on a fresh [[perspective]] means to slough off the worn-out view. It is [[difficult]] to become [[enthused]] over reaching to a higher level when you are disturbed by the continued [[presence]] of that which you wish to discard. But an [[event]] such as the turn of the year, and as I have said, each day can be this way, you are better [[enthused]] to do that very thing, [[accept]] the new and let go the old. [[Disappointment]] and [[depression]] follow from not making this clear distinction, this cut and dried [[change]]. The [[guilt]] of remembering that which hangs on is truly an [[illusion]] if you have chosen to step forward.

When [[Michael]] on your world realized his mission of ministry to his own people was being [[rejected]], he altered his [[course]] and reached broader and more widely to those who would [[receive]]. He while doing this never lost the [[love]] and [[compassion]] he had for those of his own kind, the [[ancestral]] race that he was born into. Yet it did not pull him down; he reached for new avenues for ministry while yet attempting every time to help his own kind. I bring this up to [[illustrate]] that, while you do reach for your higher [[goals]], you must not simply ignore your [[faults]], for they do require a degree of [[diligence]] and [[energy]] to overcome, but the [[focus]] is to be upon the broader and greater [[horizon]]. If your [[faults]] [[reject]] your [[efforts]], be not so concerned with them, but seek the higher ground. Find the better avenues. Let your faults [[starve]] if they won't receive your ministry. It is in a sense the [[choice]] of your [[animal nature]] to [[rebel]], but it is not the [[obligation]] of your [[higher self]] to cater to this rebellion. By doing so you are exchanging yourself, your [[mind]], your awareness for that of [[Michael]]. When you give up all that you are you [[receive]] all that he is. This [[process]] is not the negative process of erasing your [[worth]], but rather the positive of you [[becoming]] the worth of even a divine [[Creator Son]].
