As [[difficult]] as it is for you to assemble periodically to do something together, this [[admonition]] of Michael while [[incarnate]] as [[Jesus]] is not without merit. Once again we might refer to the outset of this session where I asked you to look upon your very [[bodies]] and the [[mechanical]] [[tools]] that you utilize in your work, in your [[communications]], as but an extension of the [[spiritual]] [[circuitry]] that you activate within you especially in your [[moments]] of [[stillness]]. And as you extend your hand, [[literally]] or figuratively, in the [[physical]] space or [[virtual]] space, you are enhancing or not this circuitry, depending upon the [[manner]] in which you make yourself present.

The [[practice]] of the [[presence]] of [[God]] in the [[context]] of [[stillness]] is simply [[learning]], allowing yourself to be more [[gracious]] hosts to the [[presence]] of [[God]] within you, these [[Thought Adjusters]] who are in [[fact]] your [[eternal]] [[identity]] seeking in and through your [[personalities]] a [[unique]] [[expression]] in [[time and space]], and eventually, in your eternal careers as Finaliters.

So, let me simply say thank you for gathering as you do, [[persisting]] through the various [[resistance]] of your physical space, the [[complexities]] of [[communication]], and the very real [[problems]] that we are working through that are the result of [[rebellion]]. We are [[engaged]] in a massive effort to restore and to advance the light of life upon [[Urantia]], and it is really [[simple]], so simple it is overlooked, just as is your [[breathing]]. So give pause during your [[busy]] day even for a [[moment]] to [[reflect]] upon how precious your [[breath]] is, and how it [[represents]] the spirit of [[God]] within you.

[[Friends]], I know your time is short this evening, but I will continue to [[encourage]] you to [[think]], to probe your own [[thoughts]] as you pay [[attention]] to the lessons of the moments of your day as you pass by and through your [[experience]]. Many walk with you and work with you [[supporting]] you in your [[efforts]] to enlarge this light of God in your lives upon this world in this very precious moment.
