MICHAEL: My apologies. I hail from beyond the [[Local Universe]] although I'm from a world of creatures similar to yours. I've traversed all of the steps to become a first-stage spirit. You must find it a bit curious why I would be given permission to come and speak to you this evening. Normally this is not protocol. However, given the situation on your world and others similar to yours, protocol as you would envision has been revised.

The focus of my conversation this evening is to reflect upon your conversation this evening. You've talked about the waste of time, the amount of years that went by without, what you perceived as, much spirit development. Let me reassure you that time as you understand it, and  speculated this evening, is indeed, much different than my perception of time. Your experience has been so limited, so channeled in such an  indirect form of spirit attainment, that sometimes, as I look back, I wonder how we even got through the material life with much understanding of  spirit, thought, feeling, and activity. Please do not misunderstand my meaning. I know that you, as I on my world, did our best to achieve  whatever level of communication with the Spirit Fragment as possible. Having said that, it was nothing compared to what you're going to  experience. I am pleased to hear the conversation that ego is being diminished while Spirit is being elevated.
