We will continue this instruction next week as I rejoin you. And in the coming weeks please spend your [[stillness]] time, or a portion thereof, with her, in asking her to come to you and [[reveal]] herself to you in the ways she knows will benefit you greatly. Good night, my dear friends.

==Session 2==
 
==Session 2==
===Opening===
  −
Good evening, this is Anatolia, and I am very happy to be here with you again this evening, to continue our instruction on our Mother and Her holiness, righteousness and purity of being. As we began last week to go more in-depth into Her nature, you were given an enhanced encircuitment of Her presence within you.
  −
===Lesson===
  −
And now I would like to ask you to reach deep within yourself, and ask you to share with me one quality that you feel is unique to Mother and special in Her relationship and ministry to you that is distinct from the Father-like aspect of divinity. I am very curious to hear your comments and opinions as to what you perceive as the feminine aspect of deity. And so spend a moment in reaching deep within you, seeking guidance, and then please share with me your perspective on this. (Pause)
   
===Dialogue===
 
===Dialogue===
Student: Anatolia, one time I saw the Mother, a term kept popping into my mind, as some existential philosophy, that a philosopher tried to put this feeling of what surrounds us as the encompassing. We were encompassed by a living presence, almost like a fish swimming in water. This is how I feel the Mother, even especially when She refers to us as being in Her womb, being in Her. Someone once said that God's law is what we call time. The absolute reality of what is happening, is God's law, along with freedom, and the freedom of other beings. But in this sense Mother is space. She holds us. There's a dimension in which we can feel and think. She gives us these abilities. These are like dimensions of Her mind that allow us to experience and realize things. So in this she nurtures us and supports us. As you can see, I am just beginning to get a feeling for Her as a person, rather than as a dimension.

Anatolia: But you have begun, and that is the important first step in having an interest in knowing who She is. And the way in which you have communicated your perspective is quite apt of Her. And as the fish swims in the sea, it recognizes the environment in which it lives, even though it is not necessarily conscious of it at all times. By that I mean paying mindful attention to the water. It is taken for granted that this is the environment in which the fish lives. And so there is an element of being in Her environment that you do take as a matter of natural movement. She is all around you, and you hardly perceive this, because it is as natural as breathing.

But I say to you that when you come into a more mindful awareness of Her presence pervading your living space, then you are able to perceive the tender affection and devotion that She has to your well-being, and the continual nurturing that She affords your mind and growing morontia soul, as your mind begins to receive that information that Mother wishes to bestow upon your mind.

And so what you have articulated to me today is that you have this growing awareness of Her, of how she pervades your environment. And now it will be your delight to come to a full and sweet appreciation of Her love for you that is just as personal and intimate as the love that you felt from your human mother, although I will say that there is a higher dimensional quality of this love that is more innately satisfying than the mere appreciation of human affection and regard.

   −
So I encourage you to ask Her to help you experience Her love for you as Her son; and begin to, in your mind, see yourself as having a spirit mother, just as you have a human mother. And let her continually reveal how She loves you, and how She tends to your needs each day, each moment, in Her sacred space that permeates your being. Do you have any comments on this idea?

Student: Only, Anatolia, that these meetings here are phenomenal. I can't imagine any human being who has an appreciation of who Michael and Mother are, and then be told they can actually talk with these individuals. Who would not envy us and give who knows what just to be where we are? So it's overwhelming in the sense that we actually talked with Mother, in which she said was exactly what you have said, Anatolia, that this person-ness of Her, this personal part of Her, we know, because only a person can love as She does. And this is a palpable, real thing. Thank you.

Student: Anatolia, two aspects of Mother that I cherish this time are: first, the depth of beauty. As a photographer, I always find myself attracted toward macro-photography. I would get closer and closer to nature, and look at it through a greater and more powerful lens. And the closer I got the more beauty I saw. It just seemed to be endless. This is aspect of Mother is something that I didn't realize at first what I was seeing. I just craved the beauty of nature, whether it be a large landscape or just a close-up of a beautiful flower. The second aspect of Mother that has a profound effect on me is the wind. I consider this to be the Mother's breath. The gentleness of the wind, the way it moves the trees, the rhythm. It's something that I have a very strong attachment to. And of course, the physical enjoyment I get out of the sport of windsurfing. Those are the two aspects of the Mother that I respond to.

Anatolia: The quality of reverence for the domain of the physical world is an important recognition of the sacredness of the place that has been created to harbor intelligent life. And in Her circuitry lie all of the worlds of the universe of Nebadon. Each planet, whether they are architectural or evolutionary, are totally immersed within Her mind of energy. And so as you are living in a material body, you have an affinity for things of nature: the sun, the water, the air, the plants, the soil, the rocks. And the appreciation for that speaks directly to the exquisite overlay of the spiritual reality that your world is patterned upon.

This affinity for beauty is predicated upon those inner yearnings that she has imbedded within you through your mindal endowment. As you see the beauty in nature, think of the spiritual source of the patterns that you see. Know that they have been created with an intelligent design, and it is by the action of our Mother that these designs spring forth into abundance and glorious life upon all the worlds in the universe. And if you enjoy the beauty here, can you imagine the delight and joy when you see the architectural worlds that have been designed and are rife with beautiful spiritual life and morontia life? Can you imagine how much pleasure and intensity of feeling in appreciating the patterns and harmony that you will explore as you grow?

These gifts that have been woven throughout the universe through our Mother are all waiting for you to experience. And can you only begin to appreciate the joy She must feel when her children delight in what She has given them to appreciate? Creating a home of beauty delights the soul, and offers that safe haven from all of the pressures of a disjointed material life. And so you can begin to appreciate the home-building aspects of the Mother, and why that is so integral to a growing individual's well-being, as it provides that rich environment to grow in safety and appreciation of these things. Do you have any comments on this idea?

Student: Well, first to answer can I imagine the beauty to come? To be honest, no, I can't. I've asked the Mother to give me a glimpse every now and then. I do thoroughly enjoy the beauty that is upon me now. As I tell my youngest daughter, Elena, that the fragrance from a rose is the perfume of the Mother Spirit. Thank you.

Student: There is one more question that I would like to ask at this time. In a book I recently read, the gentleman talked about an experience in which he felt the Mother Spirit in the form of a young lady. And on several occasions he felt this was the Mother Spirit coming to him. This doesn't make sense to me. I didn't feel that Mother Spirit does such things. I guess that the question is: at this time that She brings herself, Her presence, more to this planet, will She do such a thing as appear to someone in human form?

Anatolia: The embodiment of Mother is able to be captivated in certain forms of personality expression. There are those circumstances that would allow for a personality to manifest in material form that would speak of the essence of the Mother. And while I cannot comment on this particular instance that you are talking about, I will share with you that there are times when (unknown words) and angelic personalities so downstep as to render an impression of the Mother within the human mind so as to convey the reality of Her being to upstep the ideation of divinity on this planet. Can it happen in physical, material form? If circumstances are propitious for this, it is possible, under certain conditions. But I would be very cautious to presume that this is what is actually happened in any one particular circumstance. Has this answered the question?

Student: Anatolia, I must confess that at the beginning of this evening's consideration of your question I felt completely unable to respond, having consciously a sense of no idea of what the Mother Spirit is in my experience. And it was somewhat difficult at times to follow everything that was being said, because I was struggling with discovering what do I really notice that could be in that category. And then I heard some things that were mentioned that sounded pretty real to me, that maybe that is how I experience the Mother. In nature. We have that term 'Mother Nature', in which I have a great affinity, as does my friend here: the visual, the feeling, the aesthetic, of all aspects of the natural setting - a feeling very much in harmony with the plants, the birds, the animals, and other forms.

And then there's the [[feminine]] quality that I experience with some [[women]] around, who [[inspire]] me by the [[grace]] of their being, and the [[perspective]] that they have that contributes to a gentling on my part. So l find myself somewhat in awe at those times that I am now beginning to recall. So that is the second occasion where I'll experience the Mother.
 +
 
 +
And the third, I heard something mentioned tonight about the [[home]]. I have a very strong interest in all forms of home: dwellings, the coziness of the home. And I realize that that is [[the Mother]]'s [[influence]]. And so I'm very pleased to be able to report at this moment that there is a great deal of awareness and appreciation and connection with the Mother, rather than the sadness and almost an [[irritation]] at 'gee, I don't even know'. And now I really do have a sense of that. So I'm very appreciative of your asking that question tonight, and the responses that you have given to the other gentleman here. Thank you.

Anatolia: Reach deep within you, and luxuriate in the [[affinity]] that you have for [[nature]], and for that coziness of the warm and loving [[home]]. Savor your appreciation for this. Let Her speak to your [[heart]], as She now begins to enlarge with an enlarged ideation conceptually of Her being, Her magnificence, Her pervasiveness, and Her [[divine]] [[action]], as She orchestrates life, and moves light and brings light into [[reality]]. There is a quality of Mother that is particularly important for you as human men to [[perceive]]. And that is the quality that you have come to understand and appreciate as nurturing. This nurturing comes in many different dimensions.

One of the ways in which you can relate to this is through the [[understanding]] of nurturing the physical [[body]] with food, and Her life brings into [[existence]] all forms of food substances that you can avail yourself of, and to feed your body to sustain it. Let yourself feel how important this nurturing is to your physical sustenance. You would not be alive should you not eat and take [[care]] of your physical [[Necessity|needs]]. But yet the divine part within you also requires this nurturing substance that is Her [[mind]], so that your mind can be given the true substance that it needs to continually feed your [[consciousness]] with heavenly substance.

And so come into a greater [[appreciation]] of that nurturing that She gives to you through endowing you with the [[ability]] to be [[conscious]], to have a mind, to have a means to appreciate spirit. This nurturing is ever present all around you, [[interwoven]] throughout your entire physical [[body]], [[emotional]] being, [[intellectual]] capacity, and [[spiritual]] endowment from [[the Father]].

Student: I feel [[inspiration]], both for the [[future]] possibilities of graceful living, developing a cozy [[home]] in conjunction with someone who is similarly inclined. And for those times in the past when they existed in my life. It's a greater [[appreciation]] of those elements now. And I choose to [[reflect]] further on your words in the ensuing days, because I sense very clearly there's a great deal of warmth and expansiveness of nurturing itself coming through you. And for that I am also [[grateful]].

Anatolia: [[Words]] to ponder are an excellent means of [[stimulating]] the [[intellect]] to greater ideations of [[divinity]]. But more and more what the tender [[human soul]] needs is the experiential nurturing that comes when you lie in [[your Mother]]'s [[womb]] and ask for Her nurturing to overtake your being, and to grow you into a strong [[soul]]. And this is what you can do in your [[stillness]] each day. And you will know then, not only of the idea of nurturing, but also of being nurtured, and [[appreciate]] even greater Her love for you, which will only make you love Her more. And you will have solidified such a warm and loving [[relationship]] that you will never feel a lack of love and nurturing in your life.

Student: Yes, Anatolia, I have felt that nurturing that you are talking about, for the past year or so. I have felt it really strongly, from within, where I felt so nurtured that I don't need a certain time to eat or to sleep, that my whole [[body]] is so alive with life. I feel this richness and [[beauty]] inside of me. I felt safe and [[secure]], that I am being taken [[care]] of. It was like my sanctuary, very real, very palpable, like I could almost [[taste]] it.

And it is interesting what has happened over the past week or so, since we last spoke. I remember I was [[feeling]] not safe or secure, in my own being and also in my own [[home]]. I wasn't allowed to express my [[truth]]. And it was interesting, I think it was last weekend, C. and I were talking together, and I was expressing how I felt, this [[density]], this stuckness, not feeling nurtured, not feeling safe. Like my whole [[sanctuary]] was [[invaded]], in a sense. There was no [[peace]]. And then C. started talking to me, and it felt as if [[the Mother]] was speaking through her. And she kept on touching my heart. This went on for about a half hour. And it was really [[profound]]. It's like, right afterwards, I kind of in a sense left my body, and C. wondered where I was.

Then I came back and something shifted inside of me. And I felt my own inner [[sanctuary]] again. I felt nurtured, and that has stayed with me since. And I reclaimed my [[home]], within myself and my own home. And some [[changes]] were made from that in a loving, nurturing way. And so I experienced Mother very clearly and deeply. It was quite awe-[[inspiring]].

Anatolia: Are you now sufficiently inspired to tap into this nurturing energy that you have delved into, to share this with others, to find that aspect of Mother that speaks to your soul, and to lavishly pour that out through your appreciation for Her into the lives of others who lack this nurturing love in their lives?

   −
Anatolia: And as I have heard you share with Welmek, over these many months, of your desire to live and to be expressive of the Father's love, so then allow yourself expressive of the Mother's love, and thereby avail yourself of a deeper and more expansive love that will so greatly improve the quality of another person's life. For if you truly wish to share the love of God, then these two dimensional qualities should ideally be present, and let them continually feed their love through you, so that the Fatherly love and the Motherly love can be articulated through you to fill the needs of that hungry soul that will heal them and make them feel belonging and cherished and wanted in our universal family.

Anatolia: And as I have heard you share with Welmek, over these many months, of your [[desire]] to live and to be expressive of [[the Father]]'s love, so then allow yourself expressive of [[the Mother]]'s love, and thereby avail yourself of a deeper and more expansive love that will so greatly improve the [[quality]] of another person's life.

Let Her now begin to teach you the way in which to share this nurturing aspect of divine love that is so soothing, so calming, to the spirit and the soul, and renders a person quite infant-like in their yielding to receive that exquisite love that will make them strong and vibrant in God's love, in God's plan for them.

This is the delightful challenge of mortals who grow in their comprehension of the Father, to be able to dispense equal portions of the feminine and masculine aspects of love; so that each person can grow strong and balanced in the ability to receive and give love, and to be in that flow of love as they grow in their comprehension of God in personality identification. Do you have any comments now on what I am proposing to you?

Student: In a sense I've had some practice on a human love in the raising of my two children, because I've had to express both father and mother's love to them, to nurture them and to provide a home for them, and stability and security. And also discipline and guidance, in allowing them to see life for themselves, to experience their own feelings. So I've had that earth experience. And even lately with my roommate, where I felt both the Mother and the Father's love. It was really quite beautiful.

Anatolia: All aspects of divine love are indeed beautiful beyond the expression of mere human bonds.

Student: Yes, and also the unconditional love, the unconditional. It's just seeing each person for who they are, no matter where they are in their lives, what they think or say or do.

Anatolia: Lie down in Her womb, let Her engulf you in Her presence. She will knit within you a new substance of soul; and when you become more conscious of this, your capacity to love will be richly satisfying beyond what you have known and shared with others. (Thank you.) It has been my pleasure. Student: Dear Anatolia, I had a really busy week, but I was starting to notice intertwined the Spirit of Truth, maybe the gregarious parts, conviviality with the Holy Spirit that the Mother Spirit offers. Then as we were talking tonight I realized what I am grateful for is my mind. I studied the mind for a long time, and I know it's separate from the brain, and it's on loan to us.

But as we were talking tonight I realized that Mother Spirit, along in conjunction with the Thought Adjuster, has been really the fabric of my soul, and with free will decisions and everything. And it's accumulating and the gratitude is becoming super human, I believe, in some aspects. And that what used to value and still do value is the gracious-ness of Jesus. It had that Fatherly component to it.

And then I realized, as my emotions try to understand the character of Jesus, some of those emotions are simply super physical. Like I at first thought all emotions had to come from the cascading down from our ductless glands that's mentioned in The Urantia Book. And now I'm starting to see that because values are feelingly experienced, that those are the Mother Spirit that are creating those enhanced emotions of a Urantia type Father, helping to pad the environment of our soul.

So I'm glad that to be more increasingly aware of the Mother Spirit, especially because I'm trying to relate to more females. And I notice it with my children, as I talk with my boy trying to learn how to put a wall of sanity around people, like his friends, when they are playing or shoplifting, or anything they are doing. As a creative alternative to that kind of loyal gregarious instinct. And he seemed to respond. So I feel that the Mother Spirit is always there, and growing; and along with your help in these meetings and everything and the mindal work working with D., getting a better grasp of this personality of the Mother Spirit which was very out of grasp before. So, along with the gregariousness that I was sensing this week that these others qualities are starting to come into focus, and I thank you for your help.

Anatolia: As you speak of the gregariousness of Mother, does it not engage you to want to be in a loving and intimate relationship with Her? (Yes, it does.) And so, as you bring yourself to Her in your mindal environment, present yourself to Her as you would present yourself to a human woman, in asking to come to know Her. But as you have a tendency to assess the feminine gender from your own vantage point, this will be an opportunity for your Mother to reveal Herself to you through your mind, and to actually re-configure some of the ways in which you hold your capacity to formulate ideas. And in Her gregariousness of fraternization with you, She will lovingly help you to expand the parameters of your ability to capture and analyze information that comes through your mind and spirit.

This will be a way for you to expand your awareness on many levels, particularly in the way that you have come to use your mind through the intellect, and to render your emotions more compatible with that of divine love, unconditional love and acceptance, for all of the differences and the similarities that you share with another person.

And so, in presenting yourself to Her, offer up your willingness for Her to expand your mindal faculties in a way that will render you more sociably desirable to your fellows. Let Her expand you in ways that you cannot imagine or have heretofore conceived. Open yourself to Her in a yielding surrender of your mind, to take those aspects of your thinking, your mentation processes, and to add something new, original, unique and expansive. And you will find your capacity for growth to be augmented exponentially with greater satisfaction, self-confidence and an enriched capacity to love others with an open heart. Do you have any comments on this idea?

Mother, your sons have come to You with an open desire to experience You more in the mind and in the body. These deprived sons of Urantia crave to know You. Your Mother's heart is so tenderly devoted to them. We appeal to you to touch them, and help them experience You through greater soul satisfaction. (Long Pause) The cosmic loom weaves through You, in holding You in an essence so wondrous and luminous, that the crystallization of the lightness of your being will spark new connections within you, to connect you with spirit and grow your desire to follow the Father's will. Give thanks to your Mother for what she is doing within you this evening. Although you may not see it, Her presence is wondrous indeed. Honor the holiness and the sanctity of the mind that allows your humanness to become Godlike. The blessings of the spirit are upon you now. Her holiness washes through you, purifying your mind, preparing the way for ministry of your Adjuster to continually guide you to your Divine Source, to your home of love and safety.
