Michael, we appreciated your last lesson on appreciation itself as the most sincere form of worship--this appreciating being alive no matter what our situation. No matter what our situation--appreciating being alive; appreciating this gift of a whole universe that we ourselves are co-creating. Here it is. It is ours. We were made for it. This is a little scary, the enormity of the creation and our part in it.  So we trust in you. We put our faith in you and you return it one-hundred-fold.  So thank you, dear parents, thank you for having us, and being right here with us.  Amen.

Michael: Good evening, this is Michael. Mother Spirit and I accept your warm invitation.  We would ask you to pause a minute and just feel this whole field of consciousness of which we are a part.  (pause)

It’s right in here that we are a part of you, and you are definitely a part of us. This is our glory. This is a gift from the Father of the very kind of beings that we are.  We do worship and we do treasure this gift. Perhaps we can be aware of it more than your selves…we’ve had a lot of practice.

This life you have is also a continuously created gift, for neither are you nor your personality--your whole spiritual being--neither are you a biological clock wound up at conception that’s been kind-of just running down every since.  You yourselves are part of this continuous creation that you are. For it’s in this creativity that God shares so much of his own nature with you. You have not only all of creation out there surrounding you, but you can look around right now and appreciate the room you are sitting in--the billions of little specs, the little numen that make up the whole phenomena of you and your situation, all alive and all in motion. This is also coming from you. You yourself are one of the little fountains out in the middle of the air, bursting forth, constantly creating your own experience. There’s your power; there’s your choice; there’s your freedom.

What a wonderful stillness it is that we can share together. But like I’ve said before, my children, nothing really disturbs the stillness. It is something that contains everything.  So if you have any questions or comments, don’t be afraid to introduce them.

===Dialogue===
 
Student: Michael, as a daughter and as a sister, I welcome you and I welcome you in my heart. I do appreciate the silence that we share this evening and other times, and I again appreciate your faith in each of us and our struggle to remember to come to the silence, and to leave with the strength to be in our own lives and to control our lives.  I have what I consider to be an impediment and tiny, tiny millstones around my neck, and I just need to remember to bring them into the stillness and to leave them there.  Thank you.

Michael: Yes, my daughter. I want you to meditate on this and maybe write it down, and think about it, and feel this, and that is: entertain the concept and feel its depth: thoughts are only finely articulated feelings. Your fundamental experience of yourself and all that surrounds you?--this fundamental reality, this experience is one of feeling. That is the most fundamental human reality.

If I were to throw the book away I would, for your love, want to create the world that I believe in, that I imagine, that I feel revealed to me by your presence and by the gift of entry into this, umm… It’s hard to explain but it would be as though the Supreme and your universe were created in me simply because it would be there as a way of coming into existence. Because here I am, and I have the gift of believing that my actions, my choices really do mean something to the world that I can’t see--that continuous creation. All of a sudden I saw the difference between my construction, my intellectual construction of my actions, and just a free-flowing belief that the actions that I would be choosing from now on would be the choices that I would offer to you and to the universe as my enjoyment of the world around me.
