Lantarnek (Jonathan TR): Greetings, dear friends. It truly is remarkable to all of us how you express with joy your struggles, your difficulties, and your endeavors to overcome them. It is heartening to us all to witness this for difficulties and struggles in your life can be exhausting. To see you laugh, to see you so upbeat as you exchange your experiences gives us cause to believe that all of humanity will one day find this same joy and peace you experience even yet while you are incomplete and imperfect.

My message to you today is on exchange; perhaps it is fitting following Christmas.

You are familiar with the phrase that you can, if you are discontent with your own mind, trade it in for the mind of Christ. We have repeatedly encouraged you to function as apostles, ambassadors of the spirit kingdom on this world, and you have each accepted the position and are willfully undergoing the training needed to become able. To be effective in ministry one must develop the ability to receive as well as to give truth. The receptive ear, the open heart, has a reciprocal effect upon the other individual expressing himself to you. It opens their door. Genuine interest can transform another individual. It can appear quite difficult to conceive of the implications and meaning of the phrase "exchanging your mind for the mind of Christ". But a simple and practical application is to receive from others as if you were receiving from Michael himself and to likewise receive from others as Michael would receive from them. In this manner you increase the value of your fellow, for we all do take great note of what Michael says to us, and we all believe that every individual has the right to be in the presence and fellowship of Michael. By placing this value upon a friend you can likewise do so for yourself when in prayer and worship with the Father. If you are capable of listening sincerely to another, how could it be not so with the divine Parent? Even when you see the glaring flaws of yourself, why would not the Father hear you sympathetically and compassionately when you are capable of doing so for another?

Evelyn: We don't seem to have any questions, but you have hit on our discussion about working on our own shortcomings and how they seem so stubborn. I appreciate what you said about receiving from others as Michael would receive, that if we listen to others we appreciate that God listens to us and takes us seriously.

* Lantarnek: Great benefit can be derived for oneself in this manner for you do realize how strongly compassionate you can become when hearing the plight of another as they share their struggles. This ability to do so with another can be applied to yourself in that your own struggles, when they can come crying to you, can receive your sympathetic ear. As I have indicated, you then are able to trust that Michael likewise cares and listens when you strive and fail.

I will take my leave this day. I thank you for receiving me.
