Changes

I know that, for many of you, so much of this seems like some kind of [[science fiction]], or something that [[sound]]s to good to be true - too much just a [[product]] of [[human]] longing or loneliness. I can only assure you that it is not. The supreme characteristics of spiritual personalities - and here I remind you that all spiritual presence and input to you is from discrete [[individual]] [[spirit]] [[person]]s - the main characteristic of these spirit persons is a [[desire]] to contact you. You can become a great part of their life. You have your whole world [[experience]], your [[soul]]s, to [[share]] with them. And believe Me, My children, they, above all, honor and appreciate the [[courage]] with which you go through your daily lives on [[Urantia]]. So when you open yourself to contact with Spirit, this is the [[love]], the honoring, the care and the interest - in you - that you tap into.

Speaking as the Mother of all these spiritual or pure-spirit persons, excepting Michael and our Universal Father himself, I know wherewith I speak. These are all My children. I am the connection between, and right within them all. I am the [[love]] that binds them all together. This is My [[joy]]. This is My delight. I cannot express how [[welcome]] each and every one of you is to acknowledge Me within your life, in addition to your regular [[stillness]] meditation, in these small breaks you take between activities during the day. I appreciate even a few [[moment]]s, mere seconds - anytime when you can muster your full attention instantaneously and think, "Thank You, Mother, I’m [[happy]] to be with You. Thank You for all of this that I’m involved in this moment." Can you remember to do this, My child[[Link title]]ren?

But here comes the saving [[grace]] of Michael’s [[Spirit of Truth]]. Here comes the reward of having the courage to seek the [[truth]] above all. If your stillness meditations, and if your trying to stop in the middle of your busy days, seem to precipitate an onrushing, overwhelming feeling of everything being swept away around you, [[welcome]] the [[experience]]. Ride it out. Have [[faith]] that, little bit by little bit, you can rediscover all the different elements you may have forgotten that you chose once upon a time. You can rediscover what all these elements are, driving you through your life without your wanting them to do so. At least now you have the opportunity of choosing to stop, to pause, to [[reflect]], to reevaluate, to be free to choose anew.

Our [[desire]], My children, is only that you be [[free]], and that you [[grow]] in [[mind]], in [[body]], in [[spirit]] - in [[meaning]], in [[health]], in conscious [[value]]. And this is God’s plan for you. This is how you were created. This is the kind of beings that you are. Just as you are touched with the [[Absolute]] in your pure [[existence]], so too you are touched with the [[Unqualified Absolute]] of infinite - let Me repeat that - infinite [[potential]]. This is your birthright, My children. You have a word for your future - it is called [[eternity]]. And so that is what you are involved in right this [[moment]].

Being human, you can most easily experience this, not just partly - in the spirit power of your [[imagination]], your own personal [[creative]] power - but in the full presence of your Spiritual parents, Michael and Myself. We invite you to [[remember]] to do so. Just that! It is both that easy, and that difficult, because the [[choice]] is yours, eternally yours. We ask you to use it [[wisely]]. Let this choice, of sharing your life with Us, reflect the living total of your experience - your souls. Here is where We - Michael, Myself, our [[Universal Father]] - and you, are One.

Tonight is not a night for questions, My children. I would ask that you think about these [[things]] - this lesson; read and re-read it again. Try to take these spiritual breaks during your day. Let what comes crashing down all around you, crash away, like standing under a thundering waterfall, if this be the case. Have [[courage]], have [[curiosity]], be tenacious - follow the [[truth]] wherever it leads. Return to, and stand on the bedrock of Our peace, Our [[love]] for you.
