You have been receiving special instructions these last several weeks and, as you mentioned in your [[prayer]], how shall we greet each other day to day, often within each day? Part of this may seem very [[mundane]], but it is [[essential]]: you must [[value]] this contact enough to remember to [[initiate]] it. This initiation, this desire on your part to contact a larger realm of [[perception]] and [[experience]], is what starts your mind and your heart, your feelings and your spirit, to begin to orient towards this larger realm. Even though you are in this realm, insofar as it surrounds you and you live within it, still there is a kind of orientation, a kind of tuning in, for your focus is not on a [[time-and-space]] [[phenomenon]], but on something you can think of as extra-[[dimensional]]. This is not only around everything in space, but permeates every object as well. This results in the [[fact]] that whenever you are ready to contact [[Spirit]], Spirit is already there. There is nowhere you can be, [[physical]]ly, to be out of [[touch]]. Whenever you are ready, We are already here.

Since the initiation is on your part, you have to [[remember]] to do this. We recommend setting aside a regular time of day - to spend a certain amount of time in [[stillness]], in quieting your mind and letting go this need to feel yourselves "really living" in order to feel the [[transcendent]] [[value]] of purely existing. Early morning is a good time for this, before you start your busy days, and while you feel fresh and energetic from a nights rest. But this is not [[absolute]], for some of you may find evenings more conducive to this daily session of just allowing yourself to come to a stop, allowing Michael and I to increase the [[focus]] of Our [[presence]] in your mind and in your heart.
