Michael (Nancy): Children, allow yourselves to [[center]] into the [[connection]] with one another. Allow the [[energy]] field that defines your [[person]] to dissolve. Allow your energy to merge with the energy of the one on either side of you. Let your personal energy extend, completing the [[circle]] and returning to you. Now take this [[group]] energy, the [[unity]], and allow it to expand, to encircle this [[jewel]]-like [[sphere]]. And now allow it to extend in all directions, reaching out and becoming [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_12#12:7._THE_PART_AND_THE_WHOLE part of the whole]. My [[children]], I am your Father-Brother, Michael, pleased to be among you. Thank you for your [[attention]] to my [[exercise]].

This mission of Michael is proceeding forth in such a [[manner]] that our worry for its [[survival]] is nil. The seeds have been scattered, and continue to be, and my, how you have grown! You have [[reacted]] to the living waters and sprung forth from the soil, nurtured by [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_56#56:10._TRUTH.2C_BEAUTY.2C_AND_GOODNESS truth, beauty, and goodness]. And so the leaves and branches which grow from you are also characterized by these nutrients, such that the basis of your [[being]] is dominated by the [[good]] and the [[true]]. And yet this world has mixed truth with [[error]], and thus some of the nutrients you have been given afford distortions and has created struggles within your being.

And yet this world has mixed truth with [[error]], and thus some of the nutrients you have been given afford distortions and has created struggles within your being.

The task for you, my [[friends]], is to continue to be nurtured by the good, while learning to cut off those [[poisonous]] nutrients that would keep you from your full [[potential]] of [[growth]]. It is not an easy road, for you must sort out what is beneficial and what is not, but you have been given supporting factors in the [[presence]] of Michael’s [[spirit of truth]] and in the [[healing]] nurturing [[presence]] of your [[Mother Spirit|Mother]]. Seek to sort these [[things]] actively by calling into your [[consciousness]] these presences of [[divinity]].

As you contemplate the past, as you extend yourself, your thoughts, into the future, we ask that you allow the import of the message to take [[emotional]] hold as it did once, in order to give you that [[hope]], to provide that [[lightness]], or [[buoyancy]], that you once felt. We wish to assist you in shaking off the humdrum sense of [[routine]], such that you might grasp with enthusiastic [[desire]], the [[challenge]] to continue the critically significant work that you have begun -- [[individual]] [[work]], yes, group work, yes, the work of making right what is wrong, yes.

As we forge into this coming year, we may be [[touch]]ing issues that are tender, that your natural [[reaction]] would be to throw up a [[defense]], to shield yourself with protection. And so we are [[preparing]] you that as the situations come about, you may stop yourself and remind yourself of your commitment and your [[acceptance]] of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_196_-_The_Faith_of_Jesus#196.3_THE_SUPREMACY_OF_RELIGION this great challenge], that you may delve successfully and efficiently into these areas.

PamElla apologizes. She is struggling to [[communicate]] my full [[meaning]]. I will provide an image. You are all familiar, I believe, with small [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slug slug] [[type]] [[creatures]] that move by extending themselves. If you [[touch]] them they contract and roll up into a protective position that is a [[natural]] [[instinct]]ual [[response]]. We are asking you to become aware of this instinctual human [[reaction]], that you may more successfully choose to disconnect your instinctual protective response so that we may proceed with further challenging, and yet [[critical]], [[work]].
