− | MICHAEL: Yes, my son. In keeping with my lesson tonight, sometimes it takes [[effort]] and seems like real [[work]]. Other times it seems to come of itself and can be [[experienced]] as fun. But it always starts with your [[intention]]. It always starts with your [[choice]]. By your very [[ability]] to ignore us, so vital to your [[independence]] and [[freedom]] even from us and [[our Father]]; by your very ability to ignore us and the whole [[spiritual]] world, you have to choose to receive us. As we’ve said before, [[God]]’s [[love]] is pouring down on your bare head like a driving rain. It’s up to you to acknowledge it, and appreciate it. All we suggest, my son, is that you open your [[soul]] for this. | + | MICHAEL: Yes, my son. In keeping with my lesson tonight, sometimes it takes [[effort]] and seems like real [[work]].

| Stifle your [[pride]]--if that is what’s in the way--and genuinely [[appreciate]] all that [[spirit]] has for you. It does take a [[humble]] [[heart]] and an appreciative [[soul]] to [[feel]] our [[presence]]. Just keep the [[pure]] [[intention]], my son. Renew it as often as it [[pleases]] you. Open yourself to us. Give yourself some time in [[stillness]], in [[meditation]], to find that [[good]], yearning [[attitude]] that lets us in. | | Stifle your [[pride]]--if that is what’s in the way--and genuinely [[appreciate]] all that [[spirit]] has for you.
