Dear Michael and Mother Spirit, We appreciate this special awareness of Your presence that You help us achieve during these meetings and throughout the day. Although the comings and goings of this awareness is still somewhat mysterious to us, seemingly independent of the situation, we always appreciate when You let us know You are here right within our minds, keeping us company. Amen

MICHAEL: Good evening, My sons, this is Michael. Just relax a bit more and let My presence swell within your awareness. (pause) This can become almost a physical sensation that you can feel, but I emphasize the words almost physical because spirit remains ever subtle. It is so much an intrinsic part of your life and your perceptions that for a human being the awareness of it is very much a function of your understanding as to what is a mental construct of your own—personally, or acquired from the culture in your immediate society--and what is transcendent in its origin. This is the reason your Urantia book goes to some length to express all that your Thought Adjuster--the presence of our Father within your mind--is not. For example, it is not your ordinary notion of a conscience, which is more or less an internalized cultural construct of morality and ethics. Your Thought Adjuster transcends any human culture no matter how mature and developed you might imagine it.

We’ve also encouraged you not to try to separate out what input your Thought Adjuster, or Mother Spirit, or I are contributing to your awareness, so much as being aware of how much spirit infuses what you perceive as the physical and mental planes of existence.

If you have any questions or comments this evening, let’s put them also on the record.

Student: Father Michael, it sounds to me You’re saying, accept myself wherever I am, and whatever situation I’m in, and then proceed from that point. Is that correct?

So this acceptance is a kind of spiritual triumph. The very fact of psychological denial--that I believe you all understand and have indulged in to some degree in your own life--is a function of your free will. You do have some small ability to not accept what your own higher consciousness is trying to get you to realize. Certain aspects of this, of a physiological nature--you know as shock, have great value in letting you act in the presence of enormous pain, most profoundly because there has been survival value in this ability.

And so, My children, be in Mother’s love and My peace. Good evening.
