MICHAEL:  Good evening, my children.  This is your father, Michael, and we accept and appreciate your welcome, not only this evening as you take time out of your busy lives to tune in, but all the times during the day when you just stop to say hello.  It’s all these little mini-meditations, these little mini-moments of stillness that we do appreciate.  And we hope when you do still yourselves that you can feel and appreciate then that which is not originating within you but that which is simply given, all that is given to you moment by moment, all of life itself with its promise of going on forever and ever.  It is easy--with the notion that if there is anything interesting, you might as well start now. It’s going to keep going, forever.

So you can rest assured in this. You can take that most precious thing you have of all, you can take time, time to just appreciate being alive, feeling your body breathing, feeling your heart beating. Be thankful to our Father that he got this whole thing going for us in the first place. He’s got this whole creation out there, waiting for you. Even Mother Spirit and I marvel that, with all our experience, we still encounter things that expand our understanding. There is no end to any of this for any of us. For this we are most thankful.

Just look around the room. Yes, for certain, it has an objective existence; it’s not just your creative imagination. Yet, my children, consider that as you hear my voice, or later read these words, as you look around your room, that particular room is dependent upon you for its existence as a unique reality--for you. Even your best friend sitting beside you whom you have known for years and years is experiencing a slightly different room.  This is that co-creation of yours that you are so seldom aware of because it is so seamless, so powerful; it’s comprehensive.  It is your personality that is unifying all these billions of little bits of perceptions into a single reality, and there’s a deep comfort in this, once you get over the shock of it, a deep comfort in the fact that moment after moment it still is. It’s still happening because you are.  And so you begin to realize where things are coming from. This bottomless, fathomless reality is no other than you. This is God’s gift of you, to you. This is the purpose for you, for you to exist: is to have a life.

Then consider that you can share this amazing happening, this unique happening that is yours and God’s alone. You can learn how; you can grow in your ability to be more like him, to share what you are, what you have, what you are creating with another person, for they are the same kind of being that you are. You begin to understand why we call you little walking infinities, both to yourselves and to each other.

If I might make a suggestion here about this inner reality of yours: you are aware that all over the world now there has been and continues to be this expansion of individual freedom, this blossoming of individuality and creativity that forms what we call an inexorable planetary evolution, perhaps being set back from time to time, but overall keeping pace with the evolution of the whole cosmos in the Supreme Being. For in this inner reality of yours, my dears, you can begin to mirror this outward evolution. You can enjoy an inner evolution of an ever greater freedom. So think about this. Think about being a democracy inside.

We tease you with the notion of the great spiritual influences you have within you: our Father; Mother Spirit with her Spirit Adjutants; my Spirit of Truth; and all your impulses and inclinations, your memories, the whole gift of the culture in which you were raised, all your habits, notions, plans, fears and expectations. But as you begin to identify more and more with your potentially eternal personality and with the transcendent reality of your soul, consider being open and non-judgmental, not denying all these other components, all these other living bits and pieces that you are.  Don’t try to rule your inside reality like some petty dictator or tyrant, but be truly open. Be a democracy inside. Allow whatever wants to, to come into you, unafraid. Take each idea as it comes and just let it develop.

Once before I teased you with the notion: to entertain anything, everything--whether you can do it or not! Ask with your whole heart of your Father: What’s the best thing to do next? And then let it come. Whether you want to do it or not; entertain it! Give it a chance. For then it is in the realm of consciousness, the conscious you that I am talking to, this you that you know yourself. Then it’s a conscious decision.

My children, how else can you conceive of freedom except by having a choice, being able to choose what you do, how you consider things?  This is the essence of spirit, not only that it is the creative origin of everything, starting with our Father, and then a whole creation later--you. Come in with your own living, creative spirit out of yourself. This is what it takes to be free to make those choices: to realize that you are choosing. And so what comes next is not just some fatalistic notion of being a helpless pawn with enormous forces blowing you this way and that. You made a choice; here comes the result; and it is at least partly you. This is the realm of spirit, not only as being the creative origin but also being the all-inclusive Encompassing of you and everything else, everything you know, everything you have experienced reposing in your soul.

Student 1:  Well, I understood the outer kingdom to mean the physical manifestation of the brotherhood, the brotherhood of man as it relates to our outward world; as opposed to the spiritual kingdom within which is, of course, the relationship that we have with you and the Father.

So is it that we are doing something to just come up to a certain point, and then we can’t receive any more love down here? Or is it just that when we are released from our mortal tent that we then can receive because the indwelling Adjuster is able to work with us more? We can just open ourselves up to a whole new universe of love for us. Or can we approach that kind of love here?
