===Opening===
 
Dear Michael and Mother Spirit, What a pleasure and a relief it is to remember to take a break during the day, just to relax and be still and feel Your presence. Thank You for Your guidance as to how we can experience our freedom through our own creativity, and choose ever more wisely what we should do; and then, once we have made this choice, forget ourselves in the full commitment to what we have chosen. Amen.

Michael: Good evening, My sons, this is your spiritual Father, Michael. Now -that’s it. You all know well by now how to feel for Me within you - so often My presence is just to encourage and help you to feel.

===Lesson===
 
You go through many stages in your life with respect to your feelings. Just recently We asked you to remember what it was to be a child and have the world come down all around you, have your emotions sweep you away on a tidal wave crashing through your soul. And so for however long, you were utterly lost to yourself. Then slowly this terrible wave of emotion would subside and with halting, desperate little attempts, you could slowly regain your breath and find yourself sitting there tossed and tumbled in your life, but ever so thankful the tsunami was slowly receding and giving you back to yourself.

Rest in this peace awhile, My sons. If you have any comments or questions this evening, we can connect this way too.

Student: Father Michael, thank You for Your encouragement and enlightenment. The question I have is: How does one "let go and let God?"

   Line 97: Line 95:     
Michael: I was suggesting that in a fully mature human being with great spiritual creativity and contact, just because of the nature of your society and its mass media, as well as memories of your own youth and childhood; if you can go through your days with an open mind, contacting all these levels and origins of emotions with a quality of recognition, you need not be injured by the more negative or violent ones, nor need to shut down an awareness of their existence. For that could be not only limiting, but dangerous. This is where you gain so much, My son, by being non-prejudicial, by growing ever more flexible and resilient within yourself - so on a critical level you don’t kid yourself about what you are confronting. You gain an increasing ability to let in the full person in front of you, and then relate to that full physical, mental, and spiritual presence, for both your sakes. This is yet another dimension to grow in, is it not? It is another facet of what you learn in your stillness, in your conscious decisiveness to live your life openly.

===Closing===
 
I think this is a good note to close on. We’ve had a rather vast survey of emotions this evening. As you do open yourself more and more to your own past, and touch upon your soul, so too you will realize that all these stages of relationship to your emotions are still there. And this is good, for you find yourself surrounded by all these stages, both in the children and adolescents around you, and in the adults as well. So accept it all with as much love and light-heartedness as you can muster. Then you will find out about, and enjoy - letting go - and seeing God all about you. Be in My peace. Good evening.
