===Opening===
Michael (Mark TR): Hello, my dear ones, you know who I am. I accept the invitation
that you have furnished me in creating this space and welcoming me with such terms of
endearment.
===Lesson===
I am duly honored by the statement just offered, that you truly know who I am and
that you are not dependent on another’s depiction of who I am but rather you are relying
on a personal experience of who I am in relationship to who you are. This is indeed the
answer to my prayers, that you will have such a relationship with me as to be able to
claim in this life that you know me of a certainty. It can truly be said that I am
present in this way, that I have arrived in your dimension as a result of this experience
of relationship.
Many seek for outward ... of my ... from shaking of the ground perhaps, some loud
voice heard from above perhaps, some blinding light to assure them, to stir their senses
that something indeed has transpired. But you who know me know that I come to you in
quiet ways, in subtle terms, but I am nonetheless quite real, to be observed as you each
can witness. Just as I declined when I walked this world to offer such signs for the
amusement of those of little faith, so now do I decline to manifest in such ways.
Rather, do I choose to come to those who will create the space for me to do so as in this
moment. I rely on the individual to choose me and open the door, and then I most
certainly will accept this ... and that I am welcome. I will most gladly be with you
even now, this day and this hour. You who know me know that you need not wait for some
special event of a second coming, for you have had the experience of my repeatedly coming
to you at your request and invitation. This is how I choose to interface with my
children at their request and in honor of their invitation.
It deeply pleases me to hear your discussions of how you are discovering that those
around you are in fact perceiving that you are generators of the light, and they are
drawn to you as moths to the flame, instinctually and perhaps wholly uncertain as to why.
But you may take their approach to you as their invitation to you to share that which
brings you the light, and in this way you may represent me in this world, and my coming
to you may be spread exponentially when you represent this experience out to the others.
Simply relax into that which you know already, that which has brought you the peace
and the certainty that you enjoy, that which I bring to you freely. Certainly you may
share freely with all those who are eager to experience ....
I am aware that on this day once again you honor me for my service to your world and
even to you. I accept your honor on behalf of he who sent me to perform such a service.
Likewise you honor me when you seek to perform any service in my name or on my behalf. I
am aware of the services you offer, and I am humbled at your desire to be of service. I
accept your offer with deep gratitude and will foster every attempt you make that you
perceive is in service to me or my children.
Let today symbolize in your own lives your own chance to rise again and become even
greater today than when you had the opportunity to rise yesterday. Know that this is how
I see you, as rising on a new day with new opportunities before you. Let us work that we
may more fully implement our desires to be of service, for as you know I am all about
service myself, and therefore I recognize that same attribute in each of you. Let us
joyfully be about the opportunities before us to express our inner most desires. ... and
as well turn right around and offer you my thanks for your service and my gratitude for
your heartfelt desires. Let us be about this with joy.
I leave you now but you know me and you well know that I never truly leave you but
rather follow you around looking for the chances that you provide for us to work together
in your world, in our world. I leave my peace and my love as always. Farewell.
Elyon (Jonathan): Greetings, Elyon here. You have spoken today about the Spirit of
Truth and its importance upon this world and in each soul. The Spirit of Truth may be
likened to atmosphere, that cloaking around all life which supports life, that blanket of
protection, that reservoir of nourishment. The Spirit of Truth is ever present and
everywhere. You may not notice it just as on a calm day the air is still, but you do
take note when the wind blows, when spirit moves, and you recognize, yes, Michael is
here. And you rejoice at the cooling presence when the day is warm, just as you are
thrilled when the warm air of spring heats the cold grounds from winter.
This Spirit of Truth is ever capable of ministering to anyone in need in any way.
Michael has just today encouraged you to join him in ministry. While you seek for
that greater connection by way of his spirit, grow in your confidence that he has
likewise reached in connection toward you. There are times when the air is still, and he
seeks to minister to your fellows where you may step up as a fan and create the stir,
start the breeze, and bring that Spirit of Truth to another’s assistance. It may be
natural for the winds to blow and spirit to be felt, but it is not unnatural for you to
create those currents by way of your presence and your manifestation of spirit. We have
spoken often of love flowing through you and grace and light. Thus it is so with the
Spirit of Truth.
Jonathan: It comes to mind: the fan facing the wind, what then? I’m waiting for
Elyon to address that, when your fan is blowing toward the wind.
Elyon: I bring to our mind two phrases common, one, “going with the flow” and the
other, “even dead fish can swim downstream”. Ministry with Michael is cooperative and
sensitive to the direction of spirit. This is where one who works for spirit is ever
alert to the means whereby the Spirit of Truth may be presented. You adjust your
ministry to the receptivity of the individual, recognizing that you may wish to reach out
in one manner, and it being the fan into the wind you quickly turn and assist to go with
the flow.
Let us now add to this that all peoples are indwelt with the Spirit of Truth and
each individual has its own orientation. As everyone manifests this spirit there are
complex currents all about you. There are times when you will need to turn up the
velocity of your fan that you may push more air, for in this realm of time and space
truth takes on layers of levels. Higher levels often are obscured by the plethora of
lesser levels, and it takes a greater force for them to be observed and recognized and
attained.
This day celebrates the conclusion of Michael’s bestowal on your world. For many he
is merely another great prophet, to others the Son of God come to earth. You know within
your heart the reality of the presence and that, what definitions are applied, it is
nonetheless a reality, though the descriptions fail to accurately present it. Accept
your manifestation; let yourself move the spirit. Be unconcerned over the proper
direction for spirit to flow. Merely make it available. It will adjust.
I will conclude my sharing with you with one other image, that is of the turntable.
As it rotates the music engraved upon the record unfolds and you hear it begin and end.
It goes about in its prescribed order, and when functioning properly the music is heard
and enjoyed. This may seem formal, for only one direction will provide the pleasure. If
it were to be reversed it would not present itself as desired or described, composed.
But one is free nonetheless to traverse the surface of this disc in any direction even
while it moves. Under these conditions of relative motion one may become disoriented as
to where one is going. I draw your attention to the infinitesimal center. It does not
move ever. Seek that center, go to stillness and all the motions will be clear. Even I
say to you the entire song will be noticed fully, simultaneously.
Thank you.
Evelyn: In trying to convey the concept of the Supreme I’m baffled whether it is
that which is true, beautiful, and good or the sum total of all that transpires. Or is
it everything, every branch on every tree, every cell that has actualized. Maybe the
answer lies at the center of that record, stillness; there it would all make sense.
Could someone comment on that.
Elyon: Elyon here, may I exploit my turntable imagery? Yes, the Supreme unfolds
all its potentials in every manner possible. So your world has its beauty and its
ugliness, each becoming a part of the unfoldment. However, this is the mechanical aspect
of the Supreme revelation. You spoke of truth, beauty, and goodness and its enhancement.
Just as God created all things bringing out of nothing everything, the ultimate and
absolute will power of the universe, each one of you is a point of will power, and this
is the aspect of the Supreme that is not merely manifestation of thought potentials, but
the creative discovery from a new source of power, yourself. This makes each one of you
unique. This is why each one of you can serve regardless of your status and stature, of
your training and qualifications. It is because you are the one who is bringing it
about.
Let us look at this turntable, and let us put a fly on this turntable, but first let
us dip its legs in paint and watch it walk around. These are the creative expressions of
each one of you within the revolving Supreme. The great current of time and space flows
ever onward, but you are also contributing to its direction and its velocity. This is
why we encourage you to foster those values which bring about Light and Life. Urantia
will attain that state, but it can do so sooner with your creative input, with your
conscious application of spirit awareness.
Jesus’ parable of the talents illustrates the individual’s contribution to the
Supreme. You have been given the potentials of time and space. How will you profit
therefrom?
Kathy: Earlier we were speaking about the story of the small fish trying to swallow
the large fish. I received some comments about that from a source indicated by some
sort of Japanese symbol.
unidentified (Kathy): Just as the small fish swallows the large fish in your story
today, you have taken steps to enlarge your capacity so the enlightenment will become
you. Instead of searching for spirit growth you have opened to the possibility of
assimilating this seemingly larger spiritual fish. As impossible as this seems, the
large fish of truth and enlightenment is capable of being contained in you, the small
fish. If you allow for the possibility of spiritual enhancement, it will become a
reality. It requires intention and perhaps a stretching of your current capacity. Even
if you feel yourself to be a small fish, you have the ability to stretch and engulf a
larger spiritual truth.
unidentified (Mary): I have a message about springtime. As you look around you in
your world you see the sun bringing its warmth, its energy, to bear upon the planet
causing the rebirth, causing the sap to rise in the trees, causing the blades of grass to
rise. So should you open your heart to the warmth and the energy of God who nourishes
your soul, causes your spirit to rise. Every day you can be born again, rise anew.
Whatever time of year it happens to be the warmth and light of God is available to
nourish the growth of your soul. Enjoy.
