===Lesson===
 
I have missed you in the last two weeks and I look forward to seeing you again today. This group has become very dear to me. I have much affection for you. I feel pain when I see you in pain, and I wish the best for you. I wish the peace from the Father for you, I wish for you to feel His love and feel His joy. Over the last several months we have been doing a lot of talking about the Father's love, how He gives it to you freely, unconditionally, with no strings attached. Hoping that you will accept it, hoping that you will allow it through your whole being. Because it is healing and it will make you feel whole, and with the love comes the peace and the joy. At our last meeting we changed the lesson slightly to forgiveness. I asked you to go through, starting as a child, and forgive everyone that you met. Remember it was not with your emotions, but with your will.

This week I would like to give you a new assignment and that is to forgive yourself. This may seem strange to forgive yourself but if you are critical of yourself, if you do not give yourself approval, then you have probably criticized and rejected yourself. This of course, this lesson is trying to teach you to love yourself. So this week, practice forgiving yourself. Think about what you would say to your best friend. Something as simple as spilling a glass of orange juice; would you say something nasty to that person, to your best friend for spilling it? Probably not, but how often do you think to yourself if you do something, if you call yourself stupid, or dumb. I want you to become aware if you are doing this to yourself and stop. You would not call your best friend dumb or stupid so become your own best friend and if you have to say anything to yourself, say how human, how human to spill that orange juice. Whatever it is you do, forgive yourself and move on, it is human, that is how you were made. And now I will accept questions.

K1: In my readings of the material from the Urantia Book I remember that Michael always spoke of a positive message, and never talked about things not to do, rather things to do. So I find this to be consistent with what Michael said and I am greatly cheered to make your acquaintance.

K1: I was told that there were questions that we could ask and that you may or may not choose to answer them in accordance with your mandate, and I understand that. There is something I am greatly interested in that I would like to speak with you about. If you cannot speak about it I will certainly understand, but I am going to ask you anyway. In 1977 I saw an object in the sky over my house which has fascinated me ever since and I believe, the more I read the book, that what I saw was a seraphic transport and I am wondering if you can in any way within your mandate speak to that issue? Or if you can't I am happy to take whatever answer you give me.

Iruka: First you need to straighten yourself out, in other words, learn to love yourself, forgive yourself, understand yourself. While you are learning to do this, feel the love of the Father. Since He already loves you, He already forgives you {and} He already understands you. It is there already, but you have to accept it. So I would say before you can reach out to anyone else, to work on making yourself whole or balanced. It would be very difficult for you to help someone else when you are in pain, when you are hurting. You cannot do it effectively. Much like a swimmer who cannot help another drowning person if he himself is in trouble. He must come to the surface, clear his lungs, get air, stop choking before he can go under and get the other person. Does this analogy help? [yes] Does it answer your question?
