Fortunately, I was able to [[transition]] out of that for a few months, and in the middle of the [[summer]] I ended up here, systematically being [[exposed]] to the teachings of the [[Urantia Book]], the teachings from [[the mission]] of [[the Teachers]], and the Church of Christ Michael - all of which have been powerful influences for spiritual connection, [[clarification]], and promise. Particularly, I can see a great deal of the things that have happened in my life for many, many years coming together daily in ever so greatly an [[inspirational]] and rewarding way; and in a way that makes me feel that the [[effort]] was worth it. I recall hearing you saying a week or so ago that [[adversity]] is what gives us the [[spiritual growth]], and that that's what we are here for.

So I am looking forward to a great deal more of [[growth]] and [[service]] and living according to your example as [[Jesus]] - and thus gaining a depth of personal experience that opens up the power of [[the universe]] to serve my brothers and sisters in a way that helps them open to their capacity to connect with the wonderment of creation. So, thank you! That's it for me.

Michael: May your next year be full of as many [[challenges]] and stimulating [[opportunities]] for growth as you have achieved this year in fulfillment of your anticipated [[desires]]. Another Comment?

Student: I would like to fully [[experience]] my spiritual, emotional, physical, intellectual and heart and [[soul]]. I would like to be forgiven. I'd like to [[forgive]]. I'd like to merge with Christ Michael and Mother Spirit. I'd like to experience the [[joy]] of life - to the full, and bring the joy to everyone I come into contact with. I'd like to realize my highest [[potential]] in every respect.

Michael: My son, you have asked for many things. And I pledge my devotion to you, to help you achieve them. I ask that you simplify your desire. And what is the most important thing that you can focus on now to achieve in your life? (Pause) What do you perceive as the single most important component of all you have expressed just now?

Student: I think the highest component is the full flowering of my spiritual [[potential]] - in [[union]] with the Father, with God, Christ Michael and the Mother Spirit.

Student: Okay, let's go. Please help me to remember this [[moment]]. In one way I cannot bear to [[disappoint]] you. That's the [[fear]] that how do you break a promise to Michael?

   −
Michael: You will not [[disappoint]] me if you in your own mind and heart break this [[promise]]. For I understand very well the [[frailties]] of the human heart. This is less effortful than you think. Coming into that place where you have felt [[resistance]], to call on me. But I understand and will hold this idea until later in the meeting when we will ask our brothers and sisters to gather around you, and help you to [[receive]] Mother's ministrations within you, if this is something that [[appeals]] to you. (Yes, thank you.)

You see, my son, there is nothing that will keep me from you, if this is truly an area where you need help. And you cannot disappoint me. You cannot fail me. You are my child, and it is my delight to help you with whatever difficulty you are facing. All I ask is that you allow yourself to receive and to be in peace. We will move on and return here at the end of our meeting.

Student: Michael, I love you so much, and my whole life is devoted to the seeking of God and a nice personal relationship with my real parents. It is so exciting to me! And I feel that my only real long-term goal is fusion with my indwelling fragment. I realize that I am quite immature and quite ignorant, and that it is a very bold desire. But I do also have complete faith in your ability, in Mother's ability, to work in me the necessary adjustments and guidance that can make that possible. And I only make that statement knowing that I can trust you, and I can completely depend on you to guide me to that place of fusion.

   −
That's my great overall goal; and my more immediate goal would be to see myself able to minister for you to the spiritual orphans on this planet, so they can experience the hope and joy of having divine parents.

Michael: My daughter, you are a stalwart worker in the kingdom of Heaven, and for this your devotion is highly valued and honored. And I offer my pledge to assist you, as you well know you have always had it. But tonight I call upon your awareness of the promise that you are making to yourself and to your Father fragment for this to occur in your lifetime in the flesh. And you have my seal, as we bond together now, so that this is something that you can achieve.

And you have my devotion to guide you in the way to minister to my children, as you walk on your path to your fusion. Be patient with yourself. Be gentle with yourself, as you walk on this path now. For it will, indeed, challenge many of the areas within you that still require spiritual tempering. Do you understand my meaning?

   −
Michael: For what we see is your potential. And your perceived inadequacies, when they are properly aligned with the Father's will, will be great tools for you to use as you minister and gain greater foothold on your path. So I ask you now to consider to look at these more squarely, as mere potential talents that have not yet been properly molded for the Father's use.

Michael: Yes. That is one way you can not fear the excavation. (Good, I can go with that. It sounds great.) You go into these deep places within you and extract the jewel that lies deeply imbedded in your experiential nature.

   −
Michael: You have every potential within you, my daughter. And I say this with the utmost confidence that even though you are somewhat in jest about this, it is serious and it is light-hearted at the same time. And to use this buoyancy that you have about you as you perceive this, and bring all of the unmined gems now up to the surface so that they can be used by the Father in a way that will bring you much light and joyfulness. You will gain more appreciation this year of this, as you walk and grow and serve.

   −
Student: Ah, thank you. I will. Student: Yes, Michael. You know that almost every day that I pray for the same things: Of the oneness with my Father who created me in His Image. To see as God sees, to love as God loves, to create as God creates, and to live as He created me to live on this planet. And I know from this place I'm able to serve completely and lovingly and freely, and this is what I desire to be completely and utterly open to my Father's will and His agenda for me - to be one with the Paradise within myself so that I can share with others the real inner paradise. This is all that I desire and want, for I know if I seek first the kingdom of Heaven, everything else comes to me and comes out from me. This is the only way I can live, and live upon this planet and be of service.
+
Student: Ah, thank you. I will.  
   −
Michael: As you open yourself more to the willingness to live in this state, do you also wish to draw me into your being to help you achieve this? For no man comes to the Father but by me, and in seeking the Father you seek me, and you learn of my ways, and you come into my truth. And so my son, I ask you, are you ready for this experience of alignment with me, more in your life?
+
Student: Yes, Michael. You know that almost every day that I pray for the same things: Of the [[oneness]] with my Father who created me in His Image. To see as God sees, to love as God loves, to create as God creates, and to live as He created me to live on [[this planet]].

And so my son, I ask you, are you ready for this [[experience]] of [[alignment]] with me, more in your life?
   −
Michael: This is not the essential ingredient for you to be complete. The word necessity becomes an intellectualized idea. I ask you to go into that place of your heart where you seek to know me. What is it that you sense there? What comes to mind within you?
+
Student: Yes I am, if it's [[necessary]] for my self-portrait to be complete.
   −
Student: This immense richness and love, and joy, and exuberance.

   −
Michael: So then do you find it still a necessity? (No, with a laugh.)
+
Student: This immense richness and [[love]], and [[joy]], and exuberance.
   −
Student: No. It's an expression of who I am - experience of who I am, and it is here in every moment that I breathe; I can draw You into me in every moment. And that's what I desire, and to expand so that I can embrace others in my exuberance and Your exuberance and joy and love.
+
Michael: So then do you find it still a [[necessity]]? (No, with a laugh.)
   −
Michael: And I seal myself in you as you achieve deeper levels of this awareness of who you are as a son of God. You are a son of God! Let this seal deeply within you now and overtake you even more than you have heretofore experienced. (Long pause.) Who is to share next?
+
Student: No. It's an [[expression]] of who I am - experience of who I am, and it is here in every [[moment]] that I [[breathe]]; I can draw You into me in every moment. And that's what I desire, and to expand so that I can embrace others in my exuberance and Your exuberance and joy and love.
   −
Student: Michael, what I would like to be able to do this year, as almost every year, is to answer the calling that I first had when I was 5 or 6, to find my creative work, my creative self-expression: to express what it is that you and the Father show me so that others might see the beauty and the grandeur of your creation.

   −
There have always been lots of internal obstacles, blocks to my creative expression, and also external want. And when you spoke tonight that it's not so much the achievement, it's the intention that's important, I would just like to be able to say, once again, that this is what I feel that I must do and that I most want to do. And I would like to define that release from what holds me back from doing that, so that I can do what's been given to me to do. And so that's what I would like to be able to work on this year.

   −
And I really appreciate all the steadfast support you, the Father and all the spiritual entities have given to me to continue to stay with this calling, despite my lack of making it real in the world. Thank you. Michael: Go now into that place of your desire for your creative expression to become more manifest within you and without you. I want you now to feel me inside of you, accompanying you in the outward directional manifestation of this potential that has been seeded within you over the course of your lifetime. Can you sense this now, C? (Yes) Draw me in more fully, for this is now not your journey alone to make; for I will accompany you through this as you meet the challenges in your life, both internally and externally - to be that support structure within you that you now need to reveal this in your life more fully.

   −
Do you sense this presence of mine within you growing now? (Yes) And I want you to feel the strength, and to feel your smallness; and to yield that sense of smallness into me now, and to let me be more dominant in you now, as I lead you into this domain. Do you sense this smallness within you now? (Yes) Then I seal my pledge to accompany you, deep inside of you now. And I ask you only to return to this place where we have bonded together this evening, and to allow me to lead you now into a deeper revelation of who you are as a daughter of the living Father in Paradise.

   −
There is no fear that I will not accompany you through. There is no obstacle that you must handle on your own. So in this place of our promise, let us go together, you and I, on a wonderful journey together. And you will see how beautiful, indeed, your life is becoming. Be in my peace, dear child. (Pause) We can move on to a next person.

Student: I want to ask for this year to have the remembrance to ask every day to make the connection, and to feel the love that's coming into me now, just listening all of this. To find the peace and allow me to chase away the negativity and fear that sometimes crops up, through the hurt feelings or the lack of forgiveness that's only just about being afraid, and how powerful that love is.

   −
So I ask that this year I come to know Jesus and Mother Spirit love even more fully, to continue to be in my highest purpose as much as I can, because I really want to be there. Then I know that I am my best when I am there. And I probably will not be perfect either, but I can really feel the sense of acceptance and love, and understanding more what procreation means. Thank you for the gift of being alive so that I can spread it around too.

The awareness that you seek will come from the ever-expanding place within your mind to know the Father's love and to live as a conduit of the Father's love to others, whose lives you influence through your faith. Each day spend time in seeking to know me, and seeking to know your Mother.

Ask us questions. Ask us to reveal ourselves to you. Ask for yourself to be more consistently child-like in your approach to us, as you come to live more in faith and trusting that all things good are coming into your life and making you more loving and more lovable. The awareness within you will grow. This is assured. It is the natural outworking of your desire. And so in sealing my promise in you tonight, I will reveal myself to you more fully than you have experienced before, and that of your Mother, who is also commingling Her promise into you with me.

Father, these are your children, who are growing in their devotion to You, who are growing in their desire to know You and to love You, and to be the living vessels of Your love to the spiritually hungry children of this planet. I call down from the very center of Paradise Your love and Your light to feed these, Your children; and to commingle with the promises that I have made to each individual here tonight, that they will be upheld, that they will be nurtured. Your light and Your love is their salvation. And as it goes into their bodies and into their minds, it will overtake all the darkness within them. Create in them the new spiritual vibrancy that will be the beacon and the drawing power for Your children to find their comfort and sustenance in You through these living vessels of Your love.
