Dear Michael and Mother Spirit, We want to thank You for these insights You have been giving us into what seems to be unfathomable parts of our own nature. This is especially helpful when we find ourselves getting stuck in inertia. One of our poets expressed this as, "Between the intention and the action falls the shadow." You have helped us realize how much we may be living in that shadow - essentially free, yet unwilling to take the next step. So we thank You for Your inspiration, Your encouragement, Your gentle little nudges. Amen.

Nebadonia: Good evening, My children, this is your Mother, Nebadonia. I’m always so happy to be here with you. I just bask in the glow of your love. For I too have a heart that feels, and the love of My children is a glow that illuminates this whole corner of the galaxy. If you could only see, it puts the stars to shame. This is truly who and what we are. You are little nodules of God set free out here in time and space, living the adventures He has set out for you. Even more marvelous, He is right here with us, sharing the adventure with mutually unfathomable anticipation. Not even He, Our Universal Father, chooses to know what we will experience next – until we do.

Uncertainly with security - this is the hallmark of spiritual living. This is taking our steps into the unknown trusting that God himself, manifesting as a universe, will be under our foot when it sets down, essentially on His ground. Never forget this whole, gigantic universe of impersonal matter and energy is His creation. All that you understand so far as natural law, as enormous and profound as it is, is still for you only a beginning, only the first chapter of an endless book.

If you have any questions or comments this evening, let Me wonder what they might be.

Student: Mother, You’ve answered one of the big questions I had this week: how to free myself from the burden of my past - past actions, past decisions, past ways of looking at myself, and the habits that add up to be me. With the burden I carry it’s still difficult to look at those things. So quite directly I ask for Your help, because I’m not willing to look at them on my own. And yet I feel that looking at them is where the freedom is; re-experiencing them is where the freedom is. So once again, thank You very much.

Nebadonia: Let Me offer the observation that your particular freedom comes out as a dialogue with yourself in which you alternate between being problematic - as if there were a problem here – and then answering yourself. This is one way you can know what you want to do – you flesh out your desires, you articulate the future. The next moment you can realize how fortunate you are compared to those who are somewhat dying of boredom for lack of these very desires. This is a very natural course of thinking, of problem-and-answer, and there is nothing wrong with this conversation with yourself. You’ve seen the wisdom of writing this down so you can have some objective reflection on your own subjective thought processes. It helps to feel for Michael’s peace right within all of this. Feel Our love and peace reassuring you that this ongoing conversation is a good thing. In your own way, these are your inner mental experiments. You think of something to see how you will react to it. Remember Einstein’s thought-experiments in which he pretty much imagined his way to great understandings about the nature of time and space? So you don’t genuinely worry overmuch in the problem-phase, and get stuck, try to realize a peace and love down at bedrock. Try to feel for this home base of spirit that just sits there glowing, and feeding everything else. Let It All come to a stop, if only momentarily. Know too that right within your own mind you can talk with Us, if you want to take a break from the ongoing self-dialogue. Feel blessed too that this dialogue is there – you are keeping yourself good company.

Well, My children, I feel we have definitely kept each other good company tonight. I know you have felt some reservation because there is a kind of erroneous mystery-mongering among human beings We’ve likened to a small child with a new flashlight, at noon, running around looking for dark places to use it. There are illegitimate ways of making a mystery out of everything: for self-glorification, or self-excuse for not doing anything. But then there are genuine mysteries right within your nature because you share part of this nature with Us and with God. An awareness of this mystery can instill in you a really genuine, heartfelt and saving grace of affection for yourselves and each other. And this affection can grow to an infinity which will never be exhausted, even in eternity. This living potential is also who and what we both are. Welcome to the family.
