===Opening===
 
Dear Mother Spirit and Michael, Tonight as You manifest Your presence to us in this special way, we come to You with our prayer. We ask for guidance. Help us find the right thing to do, and find real joy in the discovery. But even more, we ask for Your help to fuel our desire to do the right thing. We enjoy your lessons so much, but we find ourselves falling far short of implementing what we know to be true in our hearts. And yet too, we know this is a process that requires patience and a steady effort. So help fill our hearts with desire to live strong, healthy lives full of joy and service. Amen.

Good evening, My children, this is your Mother, Nebadonia, Mother Spirit of Nebadon. Just relax within yourselves and be with Me awhile… (pause) I sense a lot of tension, a lot of worry, a lot of concern about failure. It is good that you seek to progress, to incorporate within your total being, your feelings, your thoughts, your understandings and your ideals. All these tell you the way to go in your day to day situations.

===Lesson===
(Striving towards unity)
+
* '''''Unity''''' (Striving towards unity)
    
A large part of the striving at your stage of development is necessarily towards unity, to unite all these disparate elements of yourself and get all of yourself pulling in the same direction. So this unity itself is one of your great ideals. Understanding the interplay of these various facets of yourself leads to the greatest progress. To become one, to have integrity in the root sense of being integral--one, is to create a unity between impulses and understandings and ideals; and this is real work. But be of good heart in the effort, because this is your essential spiritual work. Think of spirit as representing for you this unity, this incorporating all the different aspects of yourself, and the basic tool you have to do this, My children, is the realm of mind.

Line 52: Line 37:  
As Michael advised just last week, see if you can’t consciously feel yourself growing everyday, because you are. You are adding to your soul this positive thread of your real experience. So appreciate it in the root sense of giving it value. For it is only by doing all these great, good things for yourself, as if you were practicing on the person closest to you--from the inside-out, can you then truly help others.

* '''''Wisdom''''' (The hallmark of wisdom—a sense of proportion)
    
For as whole and complete as you can realize yourselves, including everything, the more you can recognize this self-same humanity in the next person you meet. And this is mercy; this is forgiveness; and you can find it full of wonder. I hope this answers your prayer, My children. As your Urantia book tells you, the great hallmark of wisdom is a sense of proportion. So come to Me in your stillness and ask for My highest Adjutant of all, My Adjutant of Wisdom to help you sort things out.

===Dialogue===
 
Student: Mother, I have a friend who has a serious, recurring illness. It’s not life threatening, but it is debilitating. It requires the whole family pulling together to support her. I’m wondering if there’s any healing power and support that I can ask for, or that she can ask for herself?

   Line 124: Line 109:  
So it’s been an interesting (laughs) three weeks, watching all this unfold--watching my own reactions, and the people around me. Someone said to me the other day, in noticing our differences and interests in things; this person said I seem to be always wanting to read spiritual material, that I seem to be focusing on that all the time. And I said, what’s wrong with that? It’s who I am! Nothing else interests me. And so, that seems to be where I’m at.

* '''''Parenting''''' (The view from parenthood)
    
NEBADONIA: Yes D, those of you who are parents can understand how Michael and I feel about you. You too can have an overall memory of your children that far, far exceeds what they themselves can remember about themselves. You see not only the instantaneously changing, living person before you, but the whole process, even before birth--the whole conception and pregnancy, and all that that involved.

Michael and I have the advantage of seeing how Our children develop, not over millions, but even billions of years. So from that perspective, this first life you are now so thoroughly engaged in can seem almost like a moment of conception. Seventy or eighty years seems so short, and so intense. And so We remind you, as you remind your children, of something that is constantly growing--the marvelous, tenacious gift of life itself, from our Father. As with Our children, you encourage yours to keep growing, to sense and follow their ideals. You offer words of insight and wisdom and understanding so they can slowly grow that sense of proportion that We always feel has to be so heavily weighted towards appreciation--the marvel of what is.

Right within the present moment--in achieving the present moment, is where the foresight exists. This is what enables you to steer the ship of your soul, to keep it pointed at your ideals, all the while resting in an actual perception of it’s present reality.

Line 141: Line 126:     
There is a wonderful magic happening here, insofar as the more you grow, the more you are able to grow more--on and on. This is the most fundamental way in which the Supreme Being is growing right along with you--as you, and everyone else. You are like a cell in an enormous living body. And We feel the delight you find in the gigantic scope that the Urantia book offers you--the unfathomable, unbelievable enormity of what is to come. This all helps in our appreciation of who and what God is in His absolute creative power.

And so We join you in sincere worship. Through this, the real infinity of His can even be somewhat perceptible to you. Here is your inspiration, My children--His breath within you, along with My love. Good evening.
