===Lesson===

As you anticipate the gifts our Mother shares with you, you will come to appreciate Her action within your mind, thereby making you more amenable to allowing Her ministrations within you to change your actions and to lift you into that realm where you begin to be more actively doing God's will throughout your day. Hers is the action in your mind that changes your comportment. Hers is the action of loveliness in helping you to transform yourself from that ugly duckling that you sometimes feel, into the beautiful swan that glides through life with effortlessness and grace and beauty that captivates all who see it.

Good evening. This is Anatolia. I greet you this evening with the [[love]] and the [[devotion]] that [[our Mother]] is enmeshing this entire room within. As you sense this [[presence]], let your hearts be light. Let [[your soul]] be uplifted in the security of the environment that you can live and [[breathe]] and move in that is our Mother. Her actions qualify your capacity to receive the divine [[information]] from which to lead a spirit-led life, and renders you more socially fragrant to your brothers and sisters.

In presenting yourself before your Mother, she cleans you. Just as your human Mother delights in cleaning Her children, so does our Mother delight in cleansing all of the hurts and wounds and dark places within your mind that you dare not even go. But she likes to give Her children a good scrubbing when they present themselves. And so all of your desires to be made more beautiful in spirit are by Her action within Her mind.

As you [[anticipate]] the gifts [[our Mother]] shares with you, you will come to [[appreciate]] Her action within your [[mind]], thereby making you more amenable to allowing Her ministrations within you to change your actions and to lift you into that realm where you begin to be more actively [[doing God's will]] throughout your day. Hers is the action in your mind that changes your comportment. Hers is the action of loveliness in helping you to [[transform]] yourself from that ugly duckling that you sometimes feel, into the [[beautiful]] swan that glides through life with effortlessness and [[grace]] and beauty that captivates all who see it.

Think now of those places within you that you feel still harbor specks of dirt, or shadows of darkness. Do not be ashamed of them. Do not hide from them. This is all a part of your pre-existing human nature, and it is in there for a reason. But you no longer have to be dominated or influenced by these ill effects. So in your mind, find where that place is. Invite Her presence in as the purifying energy of holiness and righteousness, and ask Her and Her love for you to cleanse with light and love that which is unlovely to you, and to make that beautiful in spirit. We will spend a few moments in doing this. (Pause)

But she likes to give Her children a good scrubbing when they present themselves. And so all of your [[desires]] to be made more beautiful in spirit are by Her action within Her mind.

Mother, your children have presented you with themselves this evening. They know that there are places within them that they still want to be hidden. But you see beyond that. And it does not matter to you. So as their willingness yields the opening and invites your presence into their minds, so does your actions of holiness rain down upon them, cleansing away all that is impure and unrighteous. And we ask for your grace now upon these your children in the flesh. (Pause)

Think now of those places within you that you feel still harbor specks of dirt, or [[shadows]] of [[darkness]]. Do not be [[ashamed]] of them. Do not hide from them.

So in your mind, find where that place is. Invite Her [[presence]] in as the purifying energy of holiness and [[righteousness]], and ask Her and Her love for you to cleanse with light and love that which is unlovely to you, and to make that beautiful in spirit. We will spend a few moments in doing this. (Pause)

Let Her wash over your mind, like the Mother bathing Her child who has spent the day playing in the dirt. Let Her wash over every place seared by error, tinged by darkness. (Pause)

Your minds are gradually being purified of the erroneous thought forms and ideations that have been distorted by the evolutionary process that went awry on Urantia. No longer are these distortions welcome on this planet. But it is only through the minds of spiritized men and women will the distortions be expunged, for the identification of these false precepts will no longer hold any influence over the thoughts or the feelings of such highly Father-identified individuals.

Let Her wash over your mind, like [[the Mother]] bathing Her child who has spent the day playing in the dirt. Let Her wash over every place seared by [[error]], tinged by darkness. (Pause)

Know that your mind is growing in the capacity to absorb spiritual influence, and to be more fully dominated by the benign energies of love and truth and goodness and beauty. I encourage you to never hesitate to present yourself to your Mother in this fashion as you have done this evening. For more and more will she cleanse you of the thoughts and the feelings that have plagued you. And more and more will you find yourself more desirous of thinking the way in which the Father would wish you to think, and speaking the words of the Spirit of Truth, the words of Michael. And behaving in the way Father would have you behave through the influence of the Holy Spirit. I will pause now and seek your comments and questions to further help you appreciate Her devoted ministry in your minds. And if you feel so inclined to share with me what you experienced during this exercise, I would be most happy to hear what you have to say. Who would like to begin?

Student referred to sadness and pain in his life, then finished with the comment: I really enjoy having your gifts presented to us.

Anatolia: You have a devoted Mother, R. She has never left your side. And although the abandonment that you have felt in your life has been genuine in the human terms, there always has been something within you craving for that spiritual connection that is a quality of the Mother Spirit down-grasped within your mind. And now that you know that you have a Spirit Mother who loves you, what do you find is the significance this means for your life at the present moment?

Student expressed an awareness of greater connection with the helping powers in the universe.

Student referred to sadness and [[pain]] in his life, then finished with the comment: I really enjoy having your gifts presented to us.

Anatolia: You will find in the days to come a greater impetus in you to purge the destructive feelings that you have had within you more fervently. Know that your Mother will purify of all of these feelings that have plagued you. You only need to call on Her and ask for your bath. She will bring the soap and Her wonderful tender but efficient scrubbing hands. (Thank you.) You are also to be thanked for your gifts of faith and for your efforts at perseverance. Never lose hope and faith, my friend. They are serving you very well. Indeed, they are transforming you even as we speak.

And although the [[abandonment]] that you have felt in your life has been genuine in the [[human]] terms, there always has been something within you craving for that spiritual [[connection]] that is a quality of the [[Mother Spirit]] down-grasped within your mind. And now that you know that you have a Spirit Mother who loves you, what do you find is the significance this means for your life at the present moment?

Student: Anatolia, I've been working recently on improving things on the material plane, such as physical health, financial health and an improved residential situation. I realized tonight that the practical balance needed to succeed in this material realm is largely a result of the Mother's efforts. Although the Father's will and design of the individual's destiny path and personality are present, and Michael guides us through this process and is an inspiring example, it is the Mother who clears away the blocks that create all kinds of aggravation.

Student [[expressed]] an awareness of greater [[connection]] with the helping powers in [[the universe]].

I can now appreciate the greater reality and significance of the role our Mother plays in our lives. I am grateful to Her, and ask Her for whatever she wants to accomplish in my life. I thank you for your communication that allowed me to put that piece to get Her tonight.

Anatolia: You will find in the days to come a greater [[impetus]] in you to [[purge]] the destructive [[feelings]] that you have had within you more fervently. Know that your Mother will [[purify]] of all of these feelings that have plagued you. You only need to call on Her and ask for your [[bath]]. She will bring the soap and Her wonderful tender but efficient scrubbing hands. (Thank you.) You are also to be thanked for your gifts of [[faith]] and for your efforts at [[perseverance]]. Never lose [[hope]] and [[faith]], my friend. They are serving you very well. Indeed, they are [[transforming]] you even as we speak.

Anatolia: Can you sense now within you a swelling of efficiency of life? Do you understand what I mean by that terminology?

Student: Anatolia, I've been working recently on improving things on the [[material]] plane, such as physical [[health]], [[financial]] health and an improved residential situation. I realized tonight that the [[practical]] [[balance]] needed to succeed in this material realm is largely a result of [[the Mother]]'s efforts. Although the Father's will and [[design]] of the individual's [[destiny]] [[path]] and [[personality]] are present, and Michael guides us through this [[process]] and is an [[inspiring]] example, it is the Mother who clears away the blocks that create all kinds of aggravation.

Student: At least partly. What I was focusing on during the silence was the clearing away of obstacles keeping all of those realms of practical materials from functioning efficiently and being fully effective. So perhaps you were referring to that?

I can now appreciate the greater [[reality]] and significance of the role [[our Mother]] plays in our lives. I am [[grateful]] to Her, and ask Her for whatever she wants to accomplish in my life. I thank you for your [[communication]] that allowed me to put that piece to get Her tonight.

Anatolia: It is. Once those obstacles are removed, your life proceeds forward with more buoyancy and energy and a greater capacity to do things productively. Those goals you set for yourself can proceed apace, because your mindal environment has been adapted more according to God's laws and to God's plans.

Anatolia: Can you sense now within you a swelling of [[efficiency]] of life? Do you [[understand]] what I mean by that [[terminology]]?

There is a marvelous compactness to this energy that helps you stay focused on what you must do to achieve that which is part of the plan for your growth. It is, as you say, keeping you on the straight and narrow; and you find more enjoyment in leading a life that has this definition to it. I am presenting this to you as an idea that I know you will grow into in time, as you are already beginning to glimpse the marvelous level of coordination progress that underscores her efficiency in bringing the universe into a state of being that is in accordance with the Father's plan.

Student: At least partly. What I was [[focusing]] on during the [[silence]] was the clearing away of [[obstacles]] keeping all of those realms of practical materials from functioning efficiently and being fully effective. So perhaps you were referring to that?

More and more you will come to identify with this. And as you identify, pray to live in this way, and you will find a life that is highly productive and highly enjoyable. Has this stimulated an interest in you?

Anatolia: It is. Once those [[obstacles]] are removed, your life proceeds forward with more [[buoyancy]] and [[energy]] and a greater capacity to do things productively. Those goals you set for yourself can proceed apace, because your mindal environment has been [[adapted]] more according to God's laws and to God's plans.

Student: Most definitely. I think I had a preview of that earlier this week when there was a possibility of getting a little sailboat that I would live on in a very compact manner that was completely set up for cooking, eating, sleeping, and so forth. It didn't happen, but I smile because I sense that the experience was a gift from Michael, based upon his having been Jesus, a master ship designer and builder. The boat that someone was thinking of offering me may have been one of his designs. I link all of that to the Mother, because this particular opportunity was of the material plane.

Anatolia: Rest easy in Her embrace. Ask for your life to become more effective and efficient, and She will create that environment within you for this to occur. You have Her assurance on this. Student: Anatolia, what came to me was a problem I've been having the last couple of weeks. One of the benefits, is getting in touch with emotions again and not being afraid of them, and trusting that this is a good thing. And recently I've been very uncharacteristically kind of short-tempered. I yelled at someone in traffic the other day, which I usually don't do.

More and more you will come to identify with this. And as you identify, pray to live in this way, and you will find a life that is highly productive and highly enjoyable. Has this [[stimulated]] an interest in you?

As I become more emotional, anger and some other things are much closer to the surface. At first I thought it was just going to take a lot more of rigid self-control. But this evening I got a notion of an even better and more efficient way of doing this. It's just through a generosity of spirit. When rushed in traffic and someone cuts you off, the best way to get rid of that anger is to go way out of your way to be generous with the next person who wants to go in front of you, or whatever. Just ground the anger and evaporate it through generosity. Just give it away. So I'd like your comment on that. It seems to me this is a better way to go about handling this excess emotion that won't just be stifled again.

Student: Most definitely. I think I had a preview of that earlier this week when there was a possibility of getting a little sailboat that I would live on in a very compact [[manner]] that was completely set up for cooking, eating, sleeping, and so forth. It didn't happen, but I [[smile]] because I sense that the [[experience]] was a gift from [[Michael]], based upon his having been [[Jesus]], a master ship designer and builder. The boat that someone was thinking of offering me may have been one of his designs. I link all of that to the Mother, because this particular [[opportunity]] was of the material plane.

Anatolia: You have made a significant advancement in your understanding of how to deal with problems of life as they come your way. There is an idea in your culture of self-control that when a situation occurs and it makes you angry or frustrated that you do not register the emotion. You try to control it, as you say, by not letting it affect you. This, my friend, is somewhat of a counter-productive move on your part. For you are not expressing this emotion genuinely. But yet the idea of self-control is valid, and we cannot have a world where people simply react out of their angry emotions, now can we?

Anatolia: [[Rest]] easy in Her [[embrace]]. Ask for your life to [[become]] more effective and efficient, and She will create that environment within you for this to occur. You have Her [[assurance]] on this.  

So then, what becomes the stimulus for self-control, if you are then to acknowledge what you feel as genuine? It is to go into a still state of mind and ask for that which the Father has to give you and wants you to react, to replace what you are feeling. You will always be given something of patience and understanding, and something of a more positive nature that has the capacity to absorb what you are feeling as the negative emotion.

Student: Anatolia, what came to me was a [[problem]] I've been having the last couple of weeks. One of the benefits, is getting in [[touch]] with emotions again and not being afraid of them, and [[trusting]] that this is a good thing. And recently I've been very uncharacteristically kind of short-tempered. I yelled at someone in [[traffic]] the other day, which I usually don't do.

Thereby you are expanding your capacity to feel greater empathy and compassion for the individual who angered you in the first place. You are gaining greater mental and spiritual habits to handle the situation in the future. By just trying to exercise self-control on your own will not afford you the level of skill and advancement you need that would put you in the place of a very negative situation and let you handle it with great poise and spiritual grace that was so exemplified by our Master.

As I become more [[emotional]], [[anger]] and some other things are much closer to the [[surface]]. At first I thought it was just going to take a lot more of rigid self-[[control]]. But this evening I got a notion of an even better and more efficient way of doing this. It's just through a [[generosity]] of spirit.

Just ground the anger and [[evaporate]] it through generosity. Just give it away. So I'd like your comment on that. It seems to me this is a better way to go about handling this excess [[emotion]] that won't just be stifled again.

And so what you are experiencing now is the capacity to genuinely feel. But the question then becomes: How will you manage this emotion? Do you try to control it on your own, or go into your spirit and say: 'This is what I feel. What is it that You want me to experience now?' And thereby you are increasing your capacity to act in a God-like manner. Does this help clarify your awareness now?

Anatolia: You have made a significant advancement in your [[understanding]] of how to deal with [[problems]] of life as they come your way. There is an [[idea]] in your culture of self-control that when a situation occurs and it makes you [[angry]] or frustrated that you do not register the [[emotion]]. You try to control it, as you say, by not letting it affect you. This, my friend, is somewhat of a counter-productive move on your part. For you are not [[expressing]] this emotion genuinely. But yet the idea of self-control is valid, and we cannot have a world where people simply [[react]] out of their angry emotions, now can we?

Student: Yes. It strikes me as the way out of so many problems and stressful situations. I think a lot of them happen to let it help us to accept the notion that a good part of this problem is that we are somewhat asleep, when the way out of this problem is just action and reaction on a physical level. The way to get out of that is to wake up and create. This is what you are saying, Anatolia, I think. This puts you in this increased capacity where you've got to grow, you've got to wake up, you've got to create a way out of this. You are using your God-like personality, which is enjoying the Father's power of creativity and make something new happen.

So then, what [[becomes]] the stimulus for self-[[control]], if you are then to acknowledge what you feel as genuine? It is to go into a still state of mind and ask for that which [[the Father]] has to give you and wants you to [[react]], to replace what you are [[feeling]]. You will always be given something of [[patience]] and [[understanding]], and something of a more positive nature that has the capacity to [[absorb]] what you are feeling as the negative emotion.

Anatolia: The Father has the plan, the Mother brings forth the creative process. And so what you are implying in this is that you must awaken to the joy of living in the ways of Spirit. And this is so. But how do you awaken, if you do not even know there is something to embrace as you rise from your slumber? What is the alarm that awakens you to this possibility?

Thereby you are expanding your capacity to feel greater [[empathy]] and [[compassion]] for the individual who angered you in the first place. You are gaining greater mental and spiritual [[habits]] to handle the situation in the [[future]]. By just trying to [[exercise]] self-control on your own will not afford you the level of skill and advancement you need that would put you in the place of a very [[negative]] situation and let you handle it with great [[poise]] and spiritual [[grace]] that was so exemplified by [[our Master]].

Student: To me it's twofold. Part of it, I think a critical part, is accepting the responsibility, the ability to respond. If you are in a negative situation you are co-creating it. It breaks the projection that it is always someone else's fault. Then, Anatolia, you were pointing out something that I forget, which is to call upon this other power of Michael or Mother or the Father to help.

And so what you are experiencing now is the capacity to genuinely [[feel]]. But the question then [[becomes]]: How will you manage this [[emotion]]? Do you try to control it on your own, or go into your spirit and say: 'This is what I feel. What is it that You want me to [[experience]] now?' And thereby you are increasing your capacity to act in a [[God-like]] [[manner]]. Does this help [[clarify]] your awareness now?

Anatolia: Why would you want to do this on your own, when the help is so readily available and so lovingly rendered to you? Why would anyone wish to deprive themselves of this wonderful assistance. It is because they do not know it is there, or they are only trusting it at very rudimentary levels. So what you are learning, my friends here is all the process of growing your faith. And the more you present yourselves to your [end of side one of tape] so must you, too, start out as spiritual infants and learn and grow under the watchcare and gentle impressions that your parents in spirit make upon your mind. And this is so, this is what occurs each time you present yourself to them.

Student: Yes. It strikes me as the way out of so many [[problems]] and [[stressful]] situations. I think a lot of them happen to let it help us to [[accept]] the notion that a good part of this [[problem]] is that we are somewhat asleep, when the way out of this problem is just action and reaction on a physical level. The way to get out of that is to [[wake]] up and create. This is what you are saying, Anatolia, I think. This puts you in this increased capacity where you've got to grow, you've got to wake up, you've got to create a way out of this. You are using your [[God-like]] [[personality]], which is enjoying the Father's [[power]] of [[creativity]] and make something new happen.

More and more the world is growing hungry for these experiences. Share your experiences with your friends, for they, too, are hungry for this. And even though they may not truly appreciate the words you say, the seed of truth that you planted could be the actual alarm bell that awakens them from their spiritual slumber, to seek this more actively in their lives. Do not hold back sharing these experiences, my friends. Ask for the opportunity for this to happen, and let the Spirit of Truth sing through your soul the joy of the love of being a child of these wonderful parents who love you so exquisitely and perfectly.

Student: Thank you again, Anatolia. It is always delightful.

Student: Thank you again, Anatolia. It is always delightful.

Anatolia: You are most welcome. (Pause) Student: Anatolia, I would like to ask you a question about the realm of Mother Spirit. It has to do with the process I've heard about that is referred to as 'kything' where one individual contacts another individual in a faraway place, for the purpose of sharing their love and their life with that one. I never heard of this before. Is this a process that is made available to us now through the Mother Spirit?

Anatolia: You are most welcome. (Pause)

I never heard of this before. Is this a [[process]] that is made available to us now through the [[Mother Spirit]]?

Anatolia: As you know from your text, the mind operates outside of the conditions of time and space. Do you think then this could be possible under those circumstances?

Anatolia: As you know from [[your text]], the mind operates outside of the conditions of [[time and space]]. Do you think then this could be possible under those circumstances?

Student: My faith tells me and my understanding now tells me that it certainly is possible. And I hope to attempt this experience. I'm just trying to understand if the Mother Spirit is part of this process, which I would have to presume she would be.

Student: My [[faith]] tells me and my [[understanding]] now tells me that it certainly is possible. And I [[hope]] to attempt this experience. I'm just trying to understand if the Mother Spirit is part of this [[process]], which I would have to presume she would be.

Anatolia: Is this not an exchange from mind to mind?

Anatolia: Is this not an exchange from [[mind]] to mind?

Student: Yes it is. It is an exchange of motivation and loving another.

Student: Yes it is. It is an exchange of [[motivation]] and loving another.

Anatolia: And is not the Mother Spirit the universe mind? (Yes, she is.) Then what do you think my answer would be to you?

Anatolia: And is not the [[Mother Spirit]] the [[universe mind]]? (Yes, she is.) Then what do you think my answer would be to you?

Student: You know how us mortals are. We always need a little reassurance. These wonderful gifts are now becoming open to us-open to me-the beauty and wonder that is possible.

Student: You know how us [[mortals]] are. We always need a little reassurance. These wonderful gifts are now [[becoming]] open to us-open to me-the beauty and wonder that is possible.

Anatolia: But my friend, you have a mind and you have the capacity to think and to correlate ideas. And this is a wondrous gift that you have been given by our Mother to take these thoughts and to find the correlation and the coordination within them that is the domain of the Mother: to help you take facts that you perceive, and to associate new meanings, and thereby assess and see deeper into the values of them. And so you see the fact that a thought is a component within the consciousness, and it is 'minded'. And when you bring intention to sharing love with another person, is that not then, adding meaning to the fact of mindal association? And then, if you sense that in sharing this communication with another person that you would feel love and tenderness and a bond that was very satisfying in your soul, would that not add more value and depth to your life? And so, when you approach an idea in this way, I encourage you to begin to engage your spiritized intellect in going deeper into the associated meanings and to have an experience that will add the value to what have identified through the correlation of the facts. Do you understand what I am suggesting to you? (Student: Yes, I do.)

In this way you will gain more confidence in your capacity to use your mind in a productive and highly unified way that is the antecedent for true wisdom to prevail; the wisdom that comes through your mind at its apex of spiritized thinking. And you are growing a capacity to do this now. I encourage you to step out onto that realm where you render yourself less desirous for corroboration from an external source, whether it is human or celestial, and coming into that place within that teaches you how to use your wisdom circuitry that is an endowment of the Mother Spirit, and to gain more of the effectiveness in your own capacity to think at the highest levels. Has this stimulated something within you this evening?

Has this stimulated something within you this evening?

Student: Well, I think you know it has. Yes, I hear you very loud and clear. I appreciate your words of wisdom. It is good to hear these things again and again and to take the next step. I would also like to share with you my feelings on tonight's lesson. I will call on my Mother for a good scrubbing at least once a day to clean out those areas. A lot of sadness and pain seems to prevail at least deep down in my heart. I need Her to remove the shackles of the lack of self-confidence so I have the lightness of being my mind is capable of. That's what my experience has been this evening.

Anatolia: Each day let her bathe you in Her light. And let the waters of Her love remove all of the grime that you still feel within you. And each day as you present yourself to Her, the water that receives the dirt of error, shame, anger will become less polluted, until one day when she bathes you, the only water that you will be in continually is clean and clear, reflecting and receiving light, and you feel clean and clear inside, and you know no more of those scars nor any emotion that you would consider detrimental to your spirit. This will happen, my friend, and you only have to present yourself, as you say, once a day for your scrubbing, and She will make you clean and smell so sweet, just as that newborn baby smells after she has been bathed.

Are there any more comments before we conclude this evening?

Student: Anatolia, Welmek spoke to me about meditation and keeping a spiritual diary which I find useful. How can I get deeper into my meditation? I've been unable to fight off some of the restlessness; how can I control this more? I would like my meditation to stay with me more of the day.

Anatolia: What you are experiencing is quite normal and part of the growing interest in continuing to be on the path of spiritual living. There is a distinct imbalance at this time between the ability to stay connected to Spirit after your stillness is over, and your desire to live in this state, is this not so?

Student: Yes, I do get caught up in the busyness of the day.

Student: Yes, I do get caught up in the [[busyness]] of the day.

Anatolia: This is an important consideration for this imbalance does serve the purpose of acting as the stimulus for you to continue to seek out times of quiet meditative communion with your Spirit Source. If you lived in this state all of the time, you may not have the necessary desire to continue to grow. And so there are lessons that you must learn that are underscoring this imbalance, so that you will continue to seek out times of meditative reflection. You will find that as you spend more time in this state of stillness, more of the imbalance growing within you as you seek to prolong these phases of connection. But this is not something you can arbitrarily control on your own. You must allow the necessary time to evolve and the necessary conditions within your mind in the various levels of your consciousness to reconfigure around this idea of being connected to Spirit throughout the day. You cannot control this-it must happen naturally and gradually over time. The question now to ask yourself is 'can I be comfortable with this process and trust that it is working on my behalf, and to stay the course and now lose patience because I am not feeling all of the connection that I want at this time?' This is the pivotal question now to ask.

Student: I feel committed to growing spiritually and staying on a path and knowing that the difficulties will make me more determined to try doing better.

Student: I feel [[committed]] to growing spiritually and staying on a [[path]] and knowing that the difficulties will make me more [[determined]] to try doing better.

Anatolia: I would only suggest that when you feel this frustration swell within you, take a good five minutes, if you can, to breathe deeply and to tell your mind to be still and to open your heart in finding this desire to be with your Spirit Source and to ask that to open and feed you now. Say to your Mother and Father in Spirit, "I am ready to receive your love and guidance." You will find that once you begin to do this for these short breaks throughout the day, your capacity to receive this will increase dramatically because you will have begun to train your mind to respond. And this is a spirit habit that you are now cultivating that will move you from moment to moment in between those times from your major or prolonged meditative states of mind. Practice these short intervals for three to five minutes as much as you can through the course of the day. Then I would like to hear your feedback, or you may present that to Welmek, on how you feel this is facilitating your overall capacity to receive the blessings Spirit has in store for you. Does this help you?

Student: It sounds like very valuable and prudent advice that is also very doable. I will definitely try it. Thank you for answering my question so completely.

Anatolia: You are very welcome. My friends, pray that the bath of light that Mother washes this world in to continue to find those places of darkness and to wash all of the evil, poverty, depravity completely away-expunging every shadow of darkness, every echo of sin. Let us join hands as we pray and ask for Her encircuitment of this world in Her light. Hold now before you in the center of the room the planet that we call Urantia, Mother Earth. See how fragile, how beautiful is this world. See now the impressions of wounding and scarring as we call forth from the very center of Nebadon the Spirit of our Mother.

Mother, may your holiness pour forth on all the places we see that are scarred or openly seeping the blood of war, the woundedness of soul. Pour down upon this world your love, your healing balm. Bathe each soul with your light. (Pause) Instill the peace of Michael upon this planet as you weave your love around all of the minds and hearts, trees, rocks, animals, flowers, vegetation, all life forms, all inanimate objects receive your embrace. This is Michael's world. Make this world a fit place for Him to be received in holiness and purity, preparing the way for your children to come into a deeper relationship with you and Michael and in knowing the Father in Paradise in bringing His will to this world.

In closing may Her blessings be upon you this evening. As you go to your homes, think of Her this evening. Ask to be knit within Her being as you fall asleep. Ask Her to knit you deeply, firmly, safely within Her being. You are well loved, my friends. Rest easy in this assurance and wake renewed and refreshed as begin your day consecrating your life to doing the will of those who love you in perfection and divinity. Good evening.
