===Opening===
 
Dear Mother Spirit and Michael, Tonight we want to express our awareness and our appreciation of Your graciousness. In all these years of this direct contact, these living conversations with You, You have never threatened or scolded or demanded anything of us. On the contrary, You’ve always inspired us with light-hearted, hopeful, even teasing suggestions and insights. And then You have stood by us, loving and supporting us no matter what the degree to which we were able, or unable to follow. Your love shows up that old saying – Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely - for the tired, cynical thing it is. For this kind of truly absolute, spontaneous, creating power corrupts absolutely – no one. Goodness gracious. Amen.

Nebadonia: Good evening, My children, this is your Mother. My! - what a warm welcome. Yes, this is the point of it all, isn’t it? How do we behave when we have power? How can we seek power knowing that we will use it graciously, especially with wise loving? What is this part of love that we call wise? What does this mean? Here you are somewhat face to face as human beings with that great chasm of the unknowable, opaque future.

===Lesson===
 
Wisdom implies using all you have experienced and gleaned from your life to project forward with foresight what the results of your behavior will be, so that you can love in such a way that the recipients of your affection are inspired and strengthened, encouraged to grow and live ever fuller, more rewarding lives. How do you do this so they are not harmed by your love, not threatened or cajoled, nor encouraged to do those things which would be unhealthy for them? How can you help them without their developing an over-dependence on your continued support, when the future is so opaque, when you cannot know the full consequences of what you are doing?

If you have any questions, My sons, I would be glad to share them with you. It helps you re-realize, over and again, I am as much yours as you are Mine.

===Dialogue===
 
Student: Mother, could You explain intention more clearly? Rayson recently spoke of setting your intention for the night before you go to bed, and also in the morning when you get ready for the day. I’m not quite sure what he is talking about or what intention really is.

   Line 78: Line 80:     
Nebadonia: Well, it is possible for you to lose your connection with God – for yourself. This is where I ask you to have faith and a deep abiding trust in what I told you this evening about the power of intention: as long as you intend to love God and be connected with Him, you will be! We are always here. We will not fail you. And you will not fail yourself if you truly do not intend to. The study of the misdirected spirits of the Lucifer Rebellion shows you how it was only through an arrogance of self-sufficiency, a willful desire to do things on their own, entirely, by exercising their God-given ability to go it alone if they wanted to, that lead to their appalling cruelty and their ultimate obliteration. His mercy - the connection, was offered over and over, and just as often willfully rejected. Yet the obverse is also true. Your desire for connection, springing from your spiritual nature, is what connects you, because this is that dimension in which you are One with your Creator. This is His marvelous sharing of His nature: it is with your own intention – with which you reach out to touch God, that you are exercising the God-like ability that He gave you, to be more like Him.

Well, here we are again at the close of another wonderful evening of sharing our lives together. This is why, if you wish to receive Me now, My children, this is why I am glowing! I am this huge ball of energy… glowing… burning with spirit… showering My love on you… feeling your love for Me… I am your Mother… and I am your soul-mate… Michael and I so appreciate your courage.
