Lessons & Messages

Good evening. This is Michael. Since this is the two of you this evening, D and R, I invite you into a deeper communion with me, and for you to come into a greater encircuitment with your Mother that will seed your mind with a greater capacity for truth. Is this something that interests you, my children? (Yes) I though it would.

I would ask you now to hold that place of desire to be with me steady in your heart. As my presence overshadows you, find that place within you that desires to follow the Father’s will. See if within you, you can find that intersection of that desire and my presence within you. Allow this to blend and to emerge within your mind a new level of communion. (Pause for the experience to commence and continue)

What each of you has asked of me to help you achieve is a greater expression of doing the Father’s will. Is this not your greatest passion in life now? (Students agree and share their feelings about living to do the Father’s bidding.) Do you trust me? (Students say yes)

Call now on your Mother to enter into your mind. Feel the subtle fluctuations of energy within you, the almost imperceptible softly fluttering within you like the wings of an angel reverberating inside of your being. Tell Her you are ready for an expansion of herself within you mind – that your mind is ready to be overlaid by Her mind. Find that place within you that longs for an expansion for your capacity to receive and to do and to be like the Father in Paradise, and She will enhance that within you. (Pause)

Now as She overlays Her mind over yours, call on those aspects and attributes and qualities of the Father that you would like to become. Are you desirous of becoming more loving, more patient, more understanding, more compassionate? Do you cherish the capacity to grow in wisdom and insight and in understanding of your fellows? Whatever it is, ask to receive from your First Source and Center—your Father in Paradise—and allow your Thought Adjusters to minister to you. (Pause)

The river of life is constantly flowing to you. As you emerge more fully into river, your cells become more buoyant and light-filled as your Mother expands your capacity to receive. My children, you have opened yourselves in faith to the very source of all life, and from it you will be fed. All of your needs will be met. Your capacity for truth is creating new avenues of faith expression within you. You have only to come to me in trust as I lay the foundation within you. And as your Mother expands your mind to stretch your capacity, you can then take on more of those qualities of the Father that you find worthy of adoration. This simple impressioning of child upon the parent is yours to enjoy throughout the day. Will you allow yourselves this nurturing time? Will you enjoy this renewal and restoration of your body and mind in your Paradise Source? The questions you have pertaining to your growth are not as significant as your desire to grow Father-like.

It is more beneficial for your growth to allow these periods of stillness in your mind to lead you into the realm of worshipful contemplation of the divine so that the action of us as your Spirit Parents can overtake your mind and grow you like us. Those elements of inquiry—the how, the what, the why—of your growth will all soon seem to coalesce in your mind in new meanings and new associations of the facts that you have learned. It is more relevant to your growth to be in these times of experiential acquirement of the spiritual current and presence and energy and living forces to add into those places in your mind that are receptive and welcoming.

Doubt not what occurring to you within you by your very choice to trust to give yourself in faith to us as we minister and refine you. I know so well the workings of the human mind, and in the doubt that surfaces as you emerge more deeply into this unfolding of spirit action in your mind. There are many questions that are unanswered, and this is true that you would want to be knowledgeable in understanding what is happening to you. But I say to you, my children, put this aside. Do not question your growth. Only allow it to occur.

This worshipful contemplation is a time of soul growth, mindal renewal, and heart rest. In allowing yourself to be patterned after the Father in Paradise, you will find a peace that will speak so deeply within you that you want to reside in the place forever. And so you can. For once you have tasted of this peace, it does become you, and your spirit will invite you into a greater expression of this peace by leading you out of worshipful contemplation and into the active realm of spiritual engagement with your brothers and sisters.

There is nothing as important in your life now as this time you spend with the Father in Paradise, and with me and your Mother in coming to us as this small child of faith and asking to be grown in our image. My children, my children, will you do this for me? Will you honor us as your parents by coming to us more and more each day and sharing your lives with us so that we may instill within you greater confidence of how vital you are as members in our universe family? I know your challenges. I know your lives intimately. All that we ask is for you to give us greater moments of time. We can help you more, engage your life more in productive thinking and action. It is really simple, do not you think, to try to live this way. It is your choice. And so as I take my leave, I invite you to come with me each day into that realm of peace and rest, and let us take over your lives. Do you have any questions or comments before I depart?

Student: I want to express my appreciation for this invitation. I choose to go ahead and participate. I see this as similar to needing a meal, to commune throughout the day with you, Mother, and Father. I can’t see a better way to live as this type of team approach can’t fail to produce benefits for this world. I can see how this would make me more useful to my brothers and sisters. So, I’m on the team and will show up and connect. The word that comes up for me is knowingness – to know more solidly when I am in communication or in receiving an answer – to be in that place of knowing I’m getting it.

Michael: How do you perceive that this would be apparent within your mind?

Student: Less uncertainty about how I am to proceed when I’m faced with a choice. And I think that’s been improving anyhow.

Michael: Do you not trust that should you invite more of us into your life that your capacity to be more consistently aware of the Spirit of Truth within you guiding you forward—guiding you and leading you into certain areas of spiritual experiences and opportunities?

Student: I’m smiling, because of course as that continues to grow within me, the level of confidence naturally would grow and deepen.

Michael: And therein is your answer. All of the potentials for that which you seek are now becoming real. But, my son, your capacity to be real—to live—is eternal and infinite, and so always will your desire for the knowingness exceed your capacity. Do you begin to understand this—that it is a constant lure that keeps your stimulated and active in life?

Student: Yeah.

Michael: Why do you say that so hesitatingly? This is a great gift and source of excitement and a creative stimulus to be of service in the universe.

Student: It’s my mortal mind thinking of aches and pains that maybe there will always be something like that anyhow. It’s a long journey.

Michael. It will not seem painful. It will be seem somewhat of a sense of anticipation—that you can sense something new and interesting on the verge of happening. But it will not seem uncomfortable or painful to you.

Student: I feel that recent weeks and days have been powerfully good examples of what you’ve been saying. I feel noticeably more confident and at peace more than I’ve ever felt before. It’s clearly a great blessing. I like that.

Michael: I am glad to hear that. And you can anticipate this, and even though there are challenges coming down the road for you, you will not seem so diminished by them. You will be given that sense of anticipatory enlightenment as a reward in activating this faith as you continue to trust in what is unfolding within you.

Student: I do sense that anticipation and there is a little impatience with that. I remember what you said to me last week that my idealism needs to catch up with my strong concept of who I am—how it will take time for this to happen. A thought came: why does it have to take so much time? What I’ve read in Course of Miracles, Conversations with God, Masters of the Far East, when one is with God it can be instantaneous—the Holy Instant. I realize in your frame of reference there is no time, but why does it take time? If I believe and have faith that I am in the image of God at this moment in time, why can’t I be it? Maybe that’s the grand illusion, maybe I am.

Michael: My son. How well I understand the pleas of your heart. Is not the seed of a rose a rose in the making? (Yes) Are you not that same seed of potential beauty in the making? The unity and the harmony and the perfection of God coming into reality here and now? Why would you not enjoy the becoming just as much as being? For it is this very essence of becoming that is the faith gift that you give to the Father that says “I know that you are in me. I know that we are one. And each day I am growing more and more like you. I trust what you have in store for me and the unfolding and all of the experiences I can accrue in my life that will give you opportunities to experience life through me.”

Is this not a gift that you are giving to your Creator—to experience life through you? And so, you are as one even now, and you are giving the Father new expressions of life each moment that you live. Is not the Father appreciative of all of the experiences that you have engaged in so that you and He can go hand in hand in this journey together? What is time? What is time in this unfolding process? It is, in the sense of this answer, irrelevant for each experience that you have is allowing the Father to go through life with you and to find out what it is like to be human and divine at the same time.

Do you not see the gift that you bring to the Father in moving your life so? The more you ask to be guided by your spirit, the more the Father can manifest His joy, His peace, His love through you. Do you not realize what a wonderful gift that you give to Him when you do this? So what is time?

Student: Irrelevant.

Michael: And so it is. Does this expand your perspective, my son? (Yes) Have you any comments?

Student: I’m just sensing the expansion of it and the anticipation of my seed becoming that rose and the fragrance permeating in my being, and wanting other people to experience the fragrant rose of their own being.

Michael: My children, the perspective of life that grows with your capacity to see the life as the Father sees is indeed liberating, uplifting, life-altering, for you will never look at life the same way again. You will begin to see the triumph in apparent failure, the joy through times of despair and difficulty. Use us. Imprint on us. Open your awareness to us and invite us in. As I leave you, the three-fold ministry of the God in Paradise overshadows you and encircuits you in the womb of love that is your eternal home here and now while sojourning in the flesh—the human becoming divine. I leave you in your home, and may you rest in peace safe in the arms of the Ones who love you. Good evening, my children.
