Dear Michael and Mother Spirit, Once again it’s Monday evening and we’ve gathered together to feel your presence and hear your words. You help us confirm for ourselves the reality of spirit, which was mostly imperceptible, only faith and curiosity, before. They still remain, but you reach out to us, and elicit a response in us that acknowledges your truth and wisdom—so you illuminate a part of us too. Thank you. Amen.

MICHAEL: Good evening my children, this is Michael, your spiritual father. And this is Jesus, your dear friend. Tonight I would like to clarify some points I feel have perhaps been misunderstood or a source of confusion in the past. So much of what Mother and I say in these sessions is very limited in a living context. For to exhaustively delineate and rigidly define every term we use would take another Urantia book. I confess it may be a bit tardy for those of you who have followed our lessons for many years now, but I do want to say that I’m addressing you here this evening, and those of you who will read these lessons, pretty much as your conscious selves. I say this because a large part of our lessons have been introducing you to the complexity that you are, and is, for the most part, unconscious. It’s even ironic to the point of pitying the poor ego-maniac who doesn’t realize he is so much more than what he thinks he is.

If you have any questions or comments this evening, let’s expand to encompass them as well.

Student: Father Michael, in the last few days I’ve been thinking about my past life and how many times somebody on your side has saved me from a disaster of some sort--not necessarily physical, but emotional and mental. And it’s an ongoing thing, and I appreciate it very much, now that I begin to recognize how it is. So I thank you very much for your involvement, and all the others’ involvement—the other beings who are involved in my life.

MICHAEL: What a happy note to end on. I’m almost shy of saying anything else.

Your relationship to this aspect of God, to the Supreme Being, is one of doing. And there is no blunting that point, in truth and actuality. Sometimes you must first do in order to feel yourself being. You must accomplish before you can rest. This is another facet of God’s will, even though it might still be a matter of faith for you, my children, to accept, and to embrace, as I said before, as a divine necessity—manifesting his love and wisdom. Be in my peace. Good evening.
