===Lesson===
 
GERAHDT: Imagine this peace, the peace that passes all understanding pervading your life and giving you the assurance that all is well at all times. This is Gerahdt and I thank you for being here today. (You are welcome.) This small group has come a long way in a short period of time; as a group you have done well; as individuals, you have grown. We see within you those tendrils of growth that are reaching out, grasping your morontial image to be. Your declarations for your life are earnest and sincere and peaceful. You are finding a centeredness in your spirituality that aids your practical daily life. You are discovering that this is not there and here is not apart from that, but that this moment—here, now, today—what you are experiencing in this group is also a part of your everyday, where you are at work or at play, at home, whether you are busy or at rest. You are discovering the continuity of life, of spiritual life, and it is peaceful. A religious life, a spiritual life that does not also bring you peace and understanding in your daily life is apart from your life, it is an "applied coat of paint;" whereas the true light of being wells up from inside yourself and shines out upon your world from you and is in turn reflected back to you from the circumstances of living.

As this requires no dues and you carry no cards, you are all welcome; there is no status given to any of you—you are all equal—equally loved, equally desired to participate in the continuity of the universe; equally open to become dedicated servants of Michael’s work wherever you are, in any forum, in any venue where you might find yourself. Lastly you know that we do not proselytize this message aggressively, but share it through our lives, and to those who we perceive are open to this message, and we know that you will do so in the coming weeks, months and years ahead, and you will do so with greater confidence as you know that this becomes more and more an integral part of your life, following the way of oneness, following the way of love, which is the universe frequency and vibration of the universe. Are there questions today?

===Dialogue===
 
Student: I have a question that’s not anything that we have been talking about—well in a way it is—there is some material being circulated, the focus of what is being recommended that we do, seems very in keeping with the focus of the Teaching Mission to work towards light and life on our planet, however, part of the motivation behind this it is a fearful thing that is down-played, there is not a focus on the fear, but the concern is that if the forces do not work for light and life, there are some dark energies very focused with a very negative outcome for our planet. My question is, assuming that you are aware of this—I don’t know the dates of publication of this material in this book, and I wonder are we past this crisis point that is referred to in this material—as far as the pendulum swinging and they admit that the Creator’s plan can never fail, but in this time zone, it’s a matter of more people working for light or less people working for light that in our time zone we might be faced with longer or shorter periods of time, before the Creator’s plan can manifest. I don’t know if I have totally limited the question now, but I’m wondering at the time these books were written, was this more of a possibility of light not coming forth with enough magnitude and enough energy behind it? Are we past the crisis point, I guess is what I’m wondering, because sometimes I feel like we are past the pendulum swing where there’s not so much possibility of the dark forces having their way, but the material in this book seems to be putting this crisis as a potential in front of us, that we need to spread the word and engage more people to participate in the forces of light, so that this process doesn’t get dragged out for more eons of time.

We are preparing to close the meeting, this session with you today. Would our meditation [guide], Jo Ann, would you lead us into our awakening?

Jo Ann: Become aware again of our circle, our circle of intention, our circle of welcoming our unseen friends. We pull in our consciousness, each of us, back into our own heart centers. And remembering this inner connection with the spirit is always available. Beginning to breathe a little more deeply and consciously, becoming aware in our minds of day and time and place. We are bringing back with us a heightened awareness or our spiritual companions in our daily walk through life. A few deep energetic breaths, a stretch of the arms, and when you are ready, open your eyes.
