You also [[assure]] us that [[spirit]], being the [[creative]] [[origin]] of both [[body]] and [[mind]], is all-inclusive of them.  When we return to a genuine spiritual base within ourselves, it too is all-inclusive.  [[Spirit]] brings us into more [[intimate]] contact and [[understanding]] of our body and mind.  So we thank you for these gentle reassurances.  We thank you for ever pointing the way for self-understanding and [[Self-mastery]]-mastery.  [[Amen]].

MICHAEL:  Good evening once again, my [[loyal]] sons.  It’s [[good]] to be here with you.  [[Mother spirit]] and I have been [[pondering]] very deeply in our own way just how to introduce some of the, what we see as enormous [[challenges]] to your more [[materially]] developed countries and [[cultures]] of the world.  Mother Spirit [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Reevaluating_Physical_Life-2010-02-01 last time] pointed out some of the [[historical]] [[ironies]] concerning [[health]] facing you because of your very success with amazing [[machinery]] and now your digital [[technology]].  With digital technology you can do so much really detailed [[physical]] work once done only by hand, like welding cars together and then painting them, or making intricate rocket parts.  Most of your everyday [[products]] now are mass produced.

Look around the world and ask yourself: who are the healthiest and longest-lived peoples on [[earth]] right now?  I think you’ll find many who are still pretty close to the land, or in small towns and villages, who still have a large amount of [[physical]] [[activity]] in their lives along with the [[necessary]] [[nutrition]] for [[body]] and [[mind]] and [[spirit]].  As Mother Spirit said: it’s the [[feedback]] you get from engaging [[material]] reality that takes no account of who you are but [[honestly]] [[responds]] to your [[efforts]].  So definitely, [[attitude]], the whole [[psychological]] [[dimension]] of this challenge, is critical to welcoming this response.

Beyond [[attitude]], on an even deeper level that so many shy away from contemplating, you get down to the definition of a [[human being]] as a [[creature]] of [[will]] [[dignity]].  We’ve been careful to point out that for each particular [[individual]] their will power, their power of [[choice]], is only [[potential]].  It also takes [[creative]] [[imagination]] on the part of your [[spirit]] to create the alternatives that gives you some choice to begin with.  It’s something no [[animal]] is capable of since they haven’t a genuine [[unique]] [[personality]] endowed with [[Thought Adjuster|spirit by their Creator]].

The central [[fact]] of these stimulants, my [[children]], is that they [[work]].  They do the job.  But each has a cost to the [[human]] [[body]] and [[soul]].  Those drugs that are smoked are certainly the most debilitating by putting the [[products]] of combustion directly on tender, sensitive [[lung tissue]], and then the further [[effects]] of [[nicotine]] and the other by-products all through the [[body]]--the diseases that come about most certainly.  Yet the stimulants work else they would not be used so extensively.  But what of the [[will]] [[power]] they replace?  What about that old-fashioned notion of gumption?  What about the [[dignity]] you are able to earn through sheer [[will]] [[power]], when the genuine accomplishment we speak of is done more or less on your own?  Almost without exception you’ve experienced this too, my children.

So I’m kind-of asking--and I know what you’re going to say--is this something I ought to look into?  And you’re going to say, Yes!  Or: Do what you want!  Because, as I’ve mentioned, I do have an allergy to organizations.  I need to come from my own [[point of view]].  I just wanted to throw that out there.

   

   

MICHAEL, [[laughing]]:  Oh!--I didn’t know if you were.  You were asking whether to do this or not, and I was just saying: you already have some [[idea]] of what it is.  (OK)  Yet that may not be what it is--what it could turn out to be.  You have to go there without any specific expectations--you know, be really [[Open Ended|open-minded]]--in order to see what it is, and what it might be for you.

And so another evening winds down.  I hope I’ve given you some fresh takes on these [[marvelous]] [[human beings]] that you all are.  From where you are today it truly seems to be a fantastic, [[science-fiction]] notion of a [[Future|futuristic]] [[society]] that could provide the means of having a lot of [[good]], [[physical]] [[work]] and fun for everyone--everyone being raised with this [[healthy]] [[attitude]] and [[orientation]] and enjoyment.  This [[desire]], this spiritual [[realization]] and [[value]] does have to permeate all of [[society]] for there to be the joyful reaping of [[health]] and the elimination of so much person-on-person predation.
