Dear Michael and Mother Spirit, Looking over what’s been a few years of your lessons to this group, I noticed one of the major themes both of you talk about, right next to the fatherhood of God, His will in the Creation, and the brotherhood and sisterhood of all the people living on Urantia; right next to this is the uniqueness of each personality and the growing/developing individuality of each person.  It seems the major difference here is that the intrinsic uniqueness of each personality is created by God, whereas individuality is what we are able to develop ourselves in all aspects of our being--body, mind, spirit, and soul.  In this sense we are created unique personalities but we grow into becoming individuals by a process--as psychologists put it--of individualization.  Is this correct, or could you clarify this distinction a bit more for us?  Thank you.

Dear [[Michael]] and [[Mother Spirit]], Looking over what’s been a few years of your [[lessons]] to this [[group]], I noticed one of the major [[themes]] both of you talk about, right next to the [[fatherhood]] of [[God]], His [[Free will|will]] in the [[Creation]], and the [[Siblinghood|brotherhood and sisterhood]] of all the people living on [[Urantia]]; right next to this is the [[uniqueness]] of each [[personality]] and the growing/[[developing]] [[individuality]] of each [[person]].  It seems the major [[difference]] here is that the [[intrinsic]] [[uniqueness]] of each [[personality]] is created by [[God]], whereas [[individuality]] is what we are able to [[develop]] ourselves in all aspects of our [[being]]--[[body]], [[mind]], [[spirit]], and [[soul]].  In this sense we are [[created]] [[unique]] [[personalities]] but we grow into becoming [[individuals]] by a [[process]]--as [[psychologists]] put it--of [[individualization]].  Is this correct, or could you [[clarify]] this distinction a bit more for us?  Thank you.  
 
   
 
   
MICHAEL:  Good evening, my sons, this is Michael, and I am glad as always to be with you this evening.  Mother Spirit and I do appreciate the effort you go through to get here, and then the way you open your hearts to feel and open your minds to entertain and get an inner experience from what we say.  You keep in mind, my dear ones, this is what we truly wish to offer and share with you.  Each lesson we give is not a formal lecture but only something for you to entertain as best you can.  Just let yourselves feel along with what we’re saying and share a moment with the way we see things.  Have no fear if it doesn’t accord with your basic beliefs.  This experience can do you no harm and you will pop up again to yourself.  But you will have had this experience, for at least to some extent and for a little while, of sharing our thoughts with us.  We do know to whom we’re speaking and the probable audience that will be reading these words in the future, so we are in part directing ourselves at this larger audience as well.  That being said, we do enjoy your comments and our discussions with you here, so we’re glad to see you.
