===Opening===
(This meeting was prefaced by a [[discussion]] about some issues related to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic the pandemic] and what if any [[responsibilities]] those who take precautions have with those who don't.)
===Lesson===
Aaron: Who am I? This question is at the core of the human [[experience]] and the spiritual experience. Who am I in [[relationship]] to [[God]], in relationship with others, and in relationship with one’s [[self]]? To know this, you can, by [[understanding]] yourself, be authentic to the environment you exist in. Without a [[recognition]] of one’s self and those relationships, this experience is disconcerting, untethered, and without a base or basis to react from.
I am Aaron. Good evening, my friends. Whenever some [[question]] arises for you, begin with this prime question, for then your answers and responses can be more substantial than if you are not grounded in the [[reality]] of those relationships and [[realizations]] of who you are. Utilizing this formative piece as a springboard for discussing your primary question this evening will help you to find answers as to how you can view and respond to the various realizations resulting from your relationship to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic this pandemic].
With each [[personality]], each [[soul]], you have a developing sense of right and wrong, and although this may [[change]] as you [[grow]] to fine tune what it is you [[believe]] is right, nevertheless at any stage of [[existence]] there is the question, "Will you be true to yourself and what you know at this time is right vs wrong?"
We grapple with this pandemic and how to [[respond]]. Many conversations occur regarding the best approach toward allowing or aiding you in the solutions and the working out of the details. We would [[love]] to just make it easy for you and tell you the best [[course]] of [[action]] based on our [[experience]], but it is far more important that you grapple with these questions even as we offer [[insights]] and hopefully enhance [[perspectives]] along the way, as you ask and are willing to [[receive]].
But know this, as people pursue answers and seek understanding and [[truth]] and [[awareness]], they are aided to the degree of their receptivity, regardless of their perspectives on [[God]] and [[spirituality]], whether one believes it is purely a material [[existence]] and universe, or a blended physical and spiritual existence. No matter the backdrop of one’s perspective on higher things, spiritual things -- God things -- if one is [[seeking]], they still will receive a response to their seeking.
This is a [[difficult]] time due to the conflicting nature of how [[information]] is presented. There truly are some [[nefarious]] characters who would seek to lead people astray. [[Mind]] you, these are material characters and not spiritual, but they do exist in the world. This type of [[misinformation]] has exacerbated how many view the various questions of human [[existence]], environmentally, in the arena of [[health]] and [[science]], politically, and in how [[individuals]] relate to one another and interface. The [[challenge]] is how to allow what is true to be amplified in such a way that the untrue is diminished, a separation of the wheat from the chaff, so to speak.
So when you ask your questions of how you will approach and respond and act in these times, we [[hope]] you will do it from a place of what is true and what you [[feel]] is the right thing to do, not because it’s easy, but because it is what is [[necessary]] at this time for people to see that there is a way to act and behave that overrides and supersedes all other aspects of life.
At this time I would answer any questions you may have, my friends.
===Dialogue===
Q1: Thank you. It’s one thing to [[believe]] people are doing it on [[purpose]], but for you to [[confirm]] it, I get to a point when I take in too much news and I do a meltdown because I can’t believe people are so [[cruel]] and [[selfish]], but it is a [[fact]] and it’s one I will live with and work with. So thank you for that.
Aaron: Thank you, my dear. Recognize there are some [[sincerely]] misled people, as well. By [[association]] with those sharing honestly and with [[integrity]] over time, the hope and challenge is that they will recognize and [[adjust]]. So be loving and [[gentle]] with those who may perceive a different way which may or may not be accurate.
Q2: Aaron I don’t have a question. I thank you for confirming what I knew when I was having a tantrum over this issue the last couple days. The very [[fact]] I was having a tantrum meant I was not in the right headspace, or being a loving sister to those who are sincerely misled. I am sad, at this point, that there is so much [[misinformation]]. I feel helpless and it causes those [[emotions]]. I know some are sincere and trying to lead me into their [[truth]] and so we carefully skirt those issues. I know good people who are [[generous]] and loving otherwise. I know I’m also feeling some concerns about how rapidly we need to mobilize around [[climate change]] and if we did this like mobilizing for a war we might have a [[chance]], but it doesn’t seem to be happening. It’s in that [[context]] of this misinformation that I feel discouraged. And I know I haven’t spent that time in the [[quiet]] and I know why it’s so important to do the fundamentals each day and hour. I thank everyone for their [[patience]] with me.
Q3: Aaron, I too, just have a comment of [[appreciation]] about you talking about us being authentic to what we are now. I think of the [[steps]] I have taken and the truths that I have believed that are no longer the authentic [[truth]] that I now [[experience]]. I think that is very important for me to recognize that other people, too, have the [[opportunity]] to [[grow]]. Today when I found out what I had done, hurting my own self accidentally, I was discouraged. I was actually [[pessimistic]] about it and I had to convince myself that that would not help one bit. The most important thing I got out of what you said was to be authentic and the kind and loving example that we see in our savior [[God]] and [[Michael]] the creator of [[this planet]]. And I don’t think he’s going to let us blow ourselves up.
Aaron: Thank you dear friends, for your [[sharing]]. Sadness is a natural response to loss or a recognition of [[separation]] from another. Even our Father Michael experienced this occasionally in his human [[existence]], and even when he stated, “Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do.” But sadness is only [[effective]] if it is experienced and then responded to from within, rather than staying in it. What is the question or answer that this loss is driving me toward? What can I do instead of [[feeling]] lost? As you [[explore]] those answers, rest [[assured]] that you will find perspectives and paths to pursue, to engage on the other side of sadness in a place of hope or a determination to replace the loss with newfound [[vision]]. Explore this in your [[stillness]], as you return to it, and we are sure you will be [[satisfied]] that there are things you can do to shine a [[light]] on what is true, what is possible, and perhaps some of the steps to take you there.
Q2: Thank you. Your words have been helpful, directive and soothing at the same time.
Q3: And I was waiting to hear what your [[opposite]] to sadness would be, and you said [[hope]]. I was expecting [[joy]]. I don’t know why, but hope, perhaps, is a more active thing to do. We can do things so that our hopes come to be.
Aaron: Yes, and joy is the result of hope realized.
===Closing===
Q3: Yes, thank you.
Aaron: I will withdraw at this time. Thank you for the [[opportunity]] to [[reflect]] with you on these [[challenges]] you face. We are honored to share with you. Know that we are present with you, that you have spiritual [[resources]] available to you within, and surrounding you. Much is afoot on Michael’s planet. Things are happening, and aside from your feelings of sadness and challenge and [[difficulty]], perhaps consider the honor you have of being present at this time, in this place, on this world, and as you do, we hope you will act accordingly. Good evening.
