===Dialogue===
Student: Father Michael, is what we’re being told about global warming being caused by people as dangerous as it sounds, or is it just a natural cycle the earth is going through?

MICHAEL: Thank you, my daughter. I do salute the courage it takes to see things so clearly. Keep my peace all about you as you go forward.

And so we try to be like our Father, whose outpouring creates a universe. That is spirit. That’s how it works. That is also why its unity is so contra-distinct from the multiplicity of the strictly physical. We’ve gone around and around a lot tonight on how you, not only as individuals but this whole world of yours, gets caught up in the fragmentation/separation of materialism as a stage of development, and how you and everyone else must slowly evolve--both beyond and yet respectfully inclusive of material reality in order for this world to evolve. You can come to trust in the creative flexibility of yourself and your fellows.

As the material changes come along--the turning around of the energy glut we talked about--this can be a spiritual Renaissance, hopefully not only out of necessity; hopefully too out of spiritual generosity, mutual regard, and love. Life is a lot less painful that way. For that is also one of God’s spiritual laws, and one of your free-will choices to make. Make it wisely. Don’t forget, we are here, Mother Spirit and I, and our Father. We are right here inside you and beside you, to help. Call upon us, and then credit and treasure what we have to offer. Keep hope alive. Never give up. This is still just another phase in eternity. Be in my peace. Good evening.
