Student: Thank you.
Student: Thank you.
Michael: Well, if there are no more questions or comments, I really appreciate that last question because I think there is abroad a notion that your soul contains only the good stuff. But when you think about it, what really gives value to your life is all of it--all of it!
(Every moment in time)
Not everything is even beautiful to the same degree. Not everything is pleasurable or painful to the same degree. This is what makes each moment of your life somewhat unique. As I said this evening, not only do you have everything that is continuing,
especially Natural Law in this physical world of yours, but you have the reality that something new is also happening each moment.
Your philosophy calls this “historicity”--the fact that each moment in time is unique, and has its own unique flavor to add to your soul. It is also what makes every single human being that you have a deep relationship with, more and more unique. You pass maybe dozens of folks in the course of a day, maybe hundreds of strangers on a city sidewalk, but think of the friends you have known for ten, twenty, or thirty years, perhaps your whole life. Think of their depth of personality you have come to know.
This is what fills your soul--all of it: all of the above. This is a presence of God becoming part of you. You will merge with this presence of God someday. But in the meanwhile, before that moment, there is his absolutely divine eternal presence saving everything for you.
(Soul as distinct from memories)
My children, your soul is so contra-distinct from your memories that you can easily call up. You can’t even begin—yet--to appropriate your souls. Your personality has to continue to grow enormously so that one day you become one with your own soul and the divine presence that is part of it.
(You have only just begun)
So keep growing. As Mother Spirit loves to tease you with: you have only just begun. Treasure these minds of yours and all they give you, moment by moment.
Mother Spirit sends you her love, and I bid you: Be in my Peace. Let it too fill your mind. Good night.
