Dear Folks, Happy Independence Day [USA 4 July]! Here's a light-hearted lesson from Mother Spirit on...how to be light-hearted. Enjoy, Jerry.]
===Opening===
Prayer: Dear Mother Spirit and Michael, We thank You for the inspiration You’ve given us through Your lessons, encouraging us to keep stretching towards understanding this transcendent reality that enfolds us. We also thank You for being living examples of how spirit is ever gentle and supportive, ever respectful of our views--even while You point us towards greater truth. You give us hope that we too can grow towards treating our fellows as You do. Amen.

NEBADONIA: Good evening, My sons, this is your mother, Nebadonia. How I do enjoy your spirited discussions preceding our lessons. You’ve probably noticed yourselves that it actually calms your minds and opens your spirits to receive Our lessons. You are all good students. You enjoy practicing this openness We’ve been teaching, respecting and staying open to each others’ viewpoints. For this is the purpose of Our lessons: to transform all who will but entertain the possibilities We put forth.

===Dialogue===
Student: Mother Nebadonia, I feel a bit torn tonight. I have personal questions I wish to ask You about our relationship, and I have a basketful of curiosity questions pretty much all over the chart. But I don’t want to let this opportunity slip by without some satisfaction. I don’t know how much freedom I have here. May I ask You personal questions?

===Closing===
I salute your openness and courage, My sons, to realize what you’re in for, when you step out on the spiritual path. If it helps any, know that your Guardian Angels do rejoice when you let go the illusions of certainty and wholeheartedly accept the feeling of life living right through you. So persevere. You are also reaping the rewards of faith. Your lives are becoming more interesting, and fun, challenging, and lovely. This life you are living really is something, is it not? You are beginning to get a little more light-hearted, beginning to see that God—yes, God himself does have a sense of humor—else we could not. Can you see the irony that needing to constantly let yourself go does lead to constantly rediscovering yourself anew? Keep in mind you are just starting off on an endless journey; so pace yourselves. Love those ideals, but strive to be real where you are. Michael sends you His peace, and I offer you My love. We both ask you most humbly to accept Our gifts. Good Evening.
