Changes

Student: Michael, earlier this evening Welmek wanted to [[transmit]] through me and this has been a quandary I have been in these past few months – my resistance to this. Part of me wants and [[desire]]s to come from my own self, to speak from my own soul, and to hear my own inner voice, and learn from that. So I guess there’s this confusion within me, to hear God within me, to propel me to reach a greater understanding… (Long pause)

Michael: D, my son, there is a very natural, instinctual [[fear]] of the unknown. It is a caution that deserves [[respect]], even [[love]] and [[understanding]], for it is not just an [[animal]] reaction, but, on [[Urantia]] especially, there is a great [[wisdom]] in this caution. You all know, in a sense you have all personally experienced in your own life, or in the life of someone close to you, the consequences of foolhardiness. You know what happens, and can happen, to those who fear to experience any fear at all. With respect to receiving the direct input of another [[unique]] [[personality]], I think it will help you enormously to keep in [[mind]] the very [[nature]] of these [[beings]]. Coming from the realm of [[Spirit]], this is the very [[Essence]] you do not have to fear. Your [[Father Fragment]] is God Himself. [[Mother Spirit]] and Myself are your divine Parents. We love and sustain you more than you can know at this [[phase]] of your life. Other [[ascendant]] [[mortals]] who have actually lived a life much like yours, have gone on to [[experience]] what is so far beyond your [[imagination]] that you will not be able, in any way, to suppress your own surprise when you encounter it yourself. This is what they are. The [[ministering spirits]], the children directly created by [[Mother Spirit]], who delight in contacting you, and offering what you can use - good [[practical]] [[things]], lessons, spiritual laws you can use in your present [[state]]; none of these need you fear. But it is your own heart, and your own mind, and the resources of your own soul which will finally make this assessment for you. But it still takes [[courage]], knowing all of this deep in your heart, and your mind, and your soul, it still takes courage to step off and try. And though you may not yet [[realize]] it, this [[adventure]] is of your own [[free will|choosing]]. From your deepest needs, your soul delights is this adventure: you cannot know until your try. And your very [[desire]] to grow, to experience another personality alongside this stream of [[reality]] you are creating for yourself – that you mentioned - your need to be fulfilled with [[sharing]] your life with another, will show you the way. But the choice is yours. The freedom is yours. Enjoy it, my son.

Student: I can understand, Michael, if the [[idea]] that I would rather choose the life of the [[spirit]] than the life I see in this world, then it no longer has that pull, and that I do have a choice. And then what I see out in the world, what is so unnecessary, so lifeless… It is my desire, and my [[intention]], to live this [[vision]] that Gods holds for me, that God feeds me right here and now. That has always been my intention, whether I was conscious of it or not. And I realize that there are infinite celestial beings out there who are desiring to share their [[wisdom]] and [[knowledge]], and I probably have been educated by them without even knowing it – overshadowed by them – ‘cause their vision is the same as God’s…
