And in all cases of these three wonderful spiritual influences right within us, we do thank them and honor them for respecting our free will, for never intruding upon our lives more than they are welcome. So I try to remember, and I offer this as a suggestion, that each of us, from time to time, just stop and say, “Hello.” Send them some love that we do appreciate them being a part of us. We certainly look forward to meeting them in person some day. So thanks for these three great spiritual presences in our lives, and what we can see of them in others--how much they too are being influenced by our spiritual parents. Amen.

Michael: Good evening, this is Michael. I accept your warm welcome, and to all of you who are listening in right now, Mother Spirit and I send our warmest regards. This is our delight as a Creator Son and Creator Daughter: to be part of your lives, to help influence you for the better; and always, always at your discretion, at your choice.

Keep in mind our old trilogy of physical facts, mental meanings and relationships, and spiritual values. Not only what means what, generally, but what does it mean to you? What value does it have in your life? This is the main reason for reflection, for your stillness moments: to be still and allow whatever, whatever it is that wants to come into your consciousness for consideration. This way you’re not wasting your time pursuing some predetermined course of action. You do that necessarily most of your waking hours, especially if you’re really busy with family and jobs and you’re responsible to a lot of other people for many things.

*An extra-continuity in your life

*An extra-continuity in your life

The whole idea is: taking a small part of your life, maybe twenty minutes, to be open, to be still, and let whatever wants to arise do so. Let it come up for consideration. This is keeping touch with your deeper, broader, higher self. Give this part of you a voice within you. Then, right within this open-mindedness that you are cultivating, stillness becomes an extra-continuity in your life, as well as all of your other plans and projects, all your responsibilities to others. Stillness becomes just between you and yourself this extra-continuity if you do this day after day. As we’ve characterized it before, it’s a home base to which you can return and say hello to yourself and all that you are—body and mind, spirit and soul. It’s the way your personality can appreciate all that you are by letting it come to the fore.

This is a wonderful gift to give yourself, this tuning in, this opening to whatever, whatever at all wants to come up. This is especially true for those poor souls who feel themselves being harried through life, never catching up. Every time they would stop to be still and think, they’re overwhelmed with all they are so busy trying to deny--perhaps poor health from a bad habit that is consuming them.

*Reflection

*Reflection

It’s been said, “A life without reflection is not worth living.” Mother Spirit and I have called this the two hundred percent-ness of life--this reflection, this allowing yourself to look into the mirror of your own soul, allowing this story of your entire life to come into consciousness. For your souls, my dear, are enormous; and you have so much to help yourself with. It’s how you gather up your own sense of wisdom, that Mother Spirit helps you with, with her Mind/Spirit Adjutants--that wise aspect of you that includes all the other parts of you--the intuition, the courage, the understanding, the knowledge.
