Dear Michael and Mother Spirit, We thank you for your recent lessons on how to achieve a wonderfully creative and spontaneous relationship with our friends and all the others we meet. Thank you for reminding us that those around us are our greatest treasures, and we have the possibility for being theirs. Amen.

===Lesson===
 
I wish I could share even more with you what it is to be a Creator Son, with you as my children, but this I promise you: some day I will--directly, face to face. We will stand together in the crowning glory of your life, and I will be a proud father indeed, to send you off out into the galaxy as one of mine. So let our hearts be full.

   Line 36: Line 26:     
With this fullness beyond anything you yourself can create alone, you can let go; and you can hear another person standing before you; and you can see them; and you can realize--whether they can or not--they too absolutely are. Although there is a personal reality of each of you beyond what either of you can apprehend at this early stage of your existence--it is not yet something you possess--you can feel it. This is your life; this is their life.

(Your deepest and only necessary security)
      
This your deepest and only necessary security, this living spirit. This is your home, and it is theirs also. Meeting them with this equanimity, this peace deep within you, you will be like a little sun beaming love, consideration, respect, and above all--acknowledgment. See if you can find a way to acknowledge everyone you meet, for this is that creative, spontaneous relationship you pray for. This is something that has a life of its own, that can come into being to fulfill your soul’s desire. This is what you can be for each other. This is what you and I can be together.

Student: Father Michael, I don’t have any questions right at the moment, but just a sincere Thank you!--and a heartfelt appreciation for all your love and support.

(Joining together in deep communion)
      
MICHAEL: You are very welcome, my son. This is a very special time for Mother and me when we meet like this and all join together in a deep communion. Know that we truly do feel and acknowledge the love you send us, and we’re so happy to see how it warms your hearts too. Just to express your generosity this way strengthens you and gives you hope. So I’ll say amen to that.

Student: So, Michael: It’s B. I wanted to ask you about Martin Luther King, whose birthday is today. Is there anything you could say about him that would enlighten us about his life, his mission on earth, and what he stands for– you know– for us today? I would be delighted to hear any thoughts you might have about Martin Luther King.

(Martin Luther King’s mission)
      
MICHAEL: Yes, my son, I would like to mention how this mission of his, you spoke of, was one he chose himself to fulfill. He could sense a need, and realize that the sensing of this need, and the comprehension of it, was uniquely his. This was what he alone could give expression to. In having done so he invites you all to feel for that message of hope, that challenge of progress, that extension of love which can be your unique gifts to your fellows.

Student: Greetings, Michael, I’d like to thank you for your words of encouragement . They are much needed right now. As you know, it is what we put forward now, what sustainable ideas and actions we take, that are going to rebuild this planet—our cultures and civilizations. This will require a great deal of courage, but it’s good to know someone has gone on before us to show us the way to do this. We have been told we need to have in place our ideas and plans of sustainability, if we are going to bring this planet forward before these great, cataclysmic events take place. This seems like a very large task to take the one job that is unique to us, and have the courage to stand for it, but it is very important now. I do appreciate your words of hope. Thank you.

(Feeling your way along)
      
MICHAEL: Yes, my son, sometimes it’s as if it is a totally opaque midnight in your soul and you can only feel your way along a very real path. This is what you are reduced to at times: just feeling your way along moment to moment, having the courage to let yourself wonder, what is my part to play? How can I in my life—in my sphere of influence—lead the way? You are all reaching toward this in allowing yourselves to wonder what might happen. This is a good example—this genuine concern, of seeking to know how your fellows are forced to live. The purpose of your meditations is to open yourself to all the aspects of your life, and wonder what your own deepest wisdom is calling upon you to do to set an example.

Line 86: Line 68:     
You’re right in what you say, that I am full of joy, but also apprehensive—fearful is what you said. Because I feel both. I do have high ideals, and it is scary at times to have these ideals, especially with the world the way it is now. But as I said to Mother Spirit last week, I feel I’m no longer of this world; it no longer holds me. So, this is where I’m at. And I guess I would rather not be anywhere else, because I do feel the wisdom that is within me, that Mother Spirit validated, and said so last week. I do feel it taking hold.

(Freedom from the great bugaboo of denial)
      
MICHAEL: My son, for as much as you feel yourself expanding, and conceive of yourself as not being of this world, we have no fear of your floating away! (much laughter all around) You will find you are just in one phase of a big cycle. But we salute your growing ability of recognition, developing the innate but often late-appearing ability you all have to accept or, as you put it, allow yourself to recognize where you are moment to moment. With this allowance comes such freedom, freedom from that great bugaboo of denial. For it does take nerve to look uncertainty in the eye, and then feel you were made for it! (students’ rueful chuckles) This is that sublime uncertainty with which our Father sees fit to encompass us all. And so we honor his trust in us, his trust that we are able to rise to the occasions.

MICHAEL: Well, here comes the next person. Be ready. And be in my peace. (very long pause, then, addressing another student:) Have you anything you wish to share, my daughter? Student: I am wondering, how I can better be the person who would be leading my fellow folks to you? What can I do to be dynamic and loving? If you have any suggestions about how this could happen, I would be very willing to listen. What can I do more?

(Doubt not—deep within)
      
MICHAEL: Well, my daughter, I’m tempted to say—on a superficial level, doubt not so much! But this is your way of opening yourself, of questioning yourself, of wondering. It is even a very marvelous, self-forgetting way you do surrender to wonder. I would say, carry on! Your genuine interest in others, your delight in others has done you well. You have known an enormously full life, full of people. Your soul is brimming, my daughter, so fear not. Just continue to be of good cheer, the laughing and sensitive and delightful person you can see mirrored in all those eyes that look to you with hunger, or fear, or just loneliness. Just continue to let yourself go to meet them. See and feel how Mother Spirit and I are right in there with you. Continue being our hands that touch, and our eyes that see, and our ears that listen. We do love you so very much. So continue to let our love flow through you. And doubt not in your core! Just keep wondering. You’ve a long way to go; keep stepping off bravely. Mother Spirit sends you her love. Keep finding my peace.

My children, it’s been a full evening. My heart is full with your love. I can feel your hearts are full with mine. What a life this is we share together! Thank you, Father, for these children. Thank you that I am their father as well. Thank you for my soul-mate, Nebadonia. What a treasure we all have in each other, in your loving arms.
