MICHAEL:  This is Michael, listening in on your petitions, supplications, and praise to Our Father. I share with you these expressions of hope and deliverance. Nebadonia and I are at work in our realm, aspiring for those selfsame things for our universe as you do for yours – not just Urantia but for the universe of your lives, the existence that you present through your personality.

Each one of you are dynamic little universes, starting out as a mass of matter and gases with tremendous potential; you come up through your early years foraging and forming your character through the influences around you; you attain the age of emancipation and begin making decisions that will enlarge and expand the universe of your making; and you learn to get along with those other personal universes of reality that swarm around you, each of you seeking your own orbit, sometimes temporarily colliding, but always aligning yourself once more to the divine will and finding your way back into your cosmic niche, eventually and gradually to attain what we might allude to as a state of light and life, where you are able to function alone and with others in relative peace and harmony. And we know this by observing the tranquility that exudes from your vortex and the larger vortex that is created by the synergy of all of you together seeking these selfsame values for yourself and for others.  In this way we will eventually and gradually establish light and life in your sector, in the constellations, and even our/my universe will become replete.

In fact, pushing often has the opposite effect. It is far better for you to relax into the pattern of perfection as it is revealed to you here in the worlds of time and space and modify yourself to fit that pattern instead of insisting that the divine will adapt to you.  It is the most difficult thing, it seems, to quell your enthusiasm. Indeed we wouldn’t want to because it is from this enthusiasm that you are inclined to forge ahead and experience and make mistakes and learn from them and proceed therefrom, wiser universe citizens.

====''[[Agondonters]]''====

The farther personalities are from the First Source and Center, the more inclined they are to become impatient, and this is appropriate; this is why you are children of faith, and why some few of you on the worlds of time and space are '''agondonters'''. You cannot see the end from the beginning. Sometimes you cannot see a ''thing'', and yet you persevere, and this is very important experience. It is a rare opportunity indeed to be an agondonter. In your vernacular it would be like someone having the opportunity to go to West Point or Julliard.  It is the best training ground, the best school. It may look depleted and sorrowful from your perspective, but take the father view. Lift up and let the Adjuster work with you.

0802-AB JACK here.  Wasn’t that fun?  I so love it when I get to be the liaison between the mortal realm and the Master Son, as well as – well, I have my favorites, you know.  It’s just such an opportunity to be exposed to their spirits, their graciousness, their authority, their undying affection. There are so many qualities that are so impressive and, as your next of kin, as it were, I feel quite inadequate by comparison.  But I have been assured that this is appropriate; this sense of smallness is a good thing. We will have time enough later to have occasions of greatness that will be celebrated, certain accomplishments, certain milestones such as fusion and other lesser holidays and jubilees but still very worthy of attempting to attain.

There are many roles that can be played in your eternal career. Yes, there are those who want to sit on the Council of 24. So many aspirations and ambitions are typical of young mortals, or I should say mortals young in their universe career. These kinds of lures work well to impel you to read and study and apply yourself so that you might actually attain these goals, but even so, the real work is here and now and I am never hesitant to remind my mortal cousins of this fact because this is where we are, this is where the effort is needed.

It seems there are a lot of people lamenting, these days, their helplessness, thinking that the hierarchy of divinity is going to see us in our plight and do something about it above and beyond the normal course of evolution.  This too is something you might expect from an isolated world like ours.  Just as children will hope someone will come bail them out or fix it when they find themselves in dire straits: they can’t tie their shoelace, they can’t figure out algebra; they can’t figure out how to work the computer; they have trouble with a relationship. These situations that are frustrating to you are what you’re supposed to be grappling with. You are right on time.

====''[[Spirit]]''====

JACK:  You’re welcome.  It feels so good to serve the spirit.  Is this not service to the spirit? Have I done anything? Not really.  The spirit has done it all, the spirit that is in me, that comes from Paradise, works its way through the channels and out into the arena where I work and finds you and infuses itself with your spirit which picks it up and runs with it.  You see, the spirit has done all the work. We have been passengers. Participants, yes, but ‘the yoke is easy and the burden is light.’  If it were ego – the negative definition of ego – if it were self-serving, a self-serving process, no one would feel better, no one would have anything to think about, no one would be connected to their Source, there would be no resolution, no attempt; there would be continued oppression and depression and hopelessness.
