CHRIST MICHAEL - JULY 12, 2004
Prayer: Mother and Father, we welcome you into our presence,
and we are so overjoyed to receive you this evening; the
greater depth of your presence is greatly appreciated by
us, your children as we crave this relationship we share
with you. As we turn our attention inward to you, so shall
we rejoice in the connection and know that we receive with
glad hearts all the gifts you share with us of yourselves.
Thank you.
Greetings, my children, this is your Michael, your Creator
Father and Brother. Tonight is a journey into me. Are you
ready to go into me - the depths of my presence, the fullness
of my love? I know your hearts wish to receive this, and
now it is time to breathe into your heart center, welcoming
your Mother into the space of your heart where you have not
yet felt my presence. Center yourselves in your desire to
receive me even more fully than you already have. The journey
into my truth is extremely spiritually stimulating. Few mortals
of this world have dared to walk into this truth realm openly,
gladly, reverently, thankfully. You, who are becoming more
attuned to receiving my presence, are being recalibrated
in the drawing power my truth has within your total being.
Stay focused within on your desire to come fully into me.
I will draw you through your Mother into my embrace. Relax.
Relax. Receive and open as we move you closer to us now,
my children. (Pause)
In each of you a tether is being constructed that is unshakeable,
unbreakable, and unstoppable in the energetic momentum of
drawing you into me. This tether not only is a link to me
in a direct and loving personal relationship, but it is also
a source of comfort that will center you in your Mother's
energy as more changes come upon your world. As the truth
opens and springs forth new experiential fruit on Urantia,
so too will you see the product of gross unfairness and injustice
be revealed while the old gives way to the new. And you,
as my ambassadors and my administers of my love to my children,
must be so secure in me through these tetherings and links
that you can withstand the social pressures and changes that
you will witness. Stay close to me through your desire, and
let your desire overshadow any reservations, doubts, or fears
you may have about the coming times of change and turmoil.
I will steady you. I will protect you. I will uphold you.
Have no fear . Feel this now, my power presence in you, my
children. (Pause)
Now in your mind's eye, pick an individual whom you know
and whom you have ascertained as being quite needful of my
love and peace. As you have done in similar exercises, see
this person standing before you. Open your heart, and again,
beam my love into this individual. Let your heart smile,
laugh; be joyful as my love flows from it. The lightness
in my love will alleviate this person's burden. Anchor yourself
in this quality of my joy as you beam it into this person
who is so in need. (Pause)
Let us take this one step further. Ask your Mother to go
into the place where this person's pain began to take root
and grow. Again, focus on your breathing and continue to
beam my love into that person. Add this intention of Mother
to come in. (Pause)
The nurturing arms of your Mother embrace the hurt, pain,
shame, guilt. She sweetens you with her goodness and righteousness,
and harbors within her a great creative hope-fullness which
she is able to imbue within the individual. Ask for her to
instill in this individual this quality of hopefulness where
there was once pain. She will weave this into this individual.
(Pause)
Now allow yourselves to be embraced in her hope-fullness.
What energetic dimensional quality does this add into your
capacity to beam my love into this child who is standing
before you? As you open yourselves up to receiving this,
allow yourselves to luxuriate in this feeling of hopefulness
as you share it with your brothers and sisters. (Pause)
Every shadow nuance of despair and isolation is embraceable
by hopefulness. As you begin to differentiate these qualities
of my love, so will you increasingly become adept at giving
my children aspects of me that they need for their burdens
to be relieved and their spirits to rise and lift them into
new heights of joy, wonder and spiritual curiosity. (Pause)
One of the key ingredients to add into your brothers and
sisters now is this quality of hopefulness: the promise of
a bright future, the dawning of a new age of kindness, fairness,
justice for all of the children of this world. When there
is confusion and despair people will resort to familiar states
of fear. And that so many people have been so conditioned
by this fear response, will there be a tendency to become
pessimistic and even fatalistic. But you, my children, have
the antidote; you have HOPE. Spread this and share this freely.
Help my children feel this hope. They will need this tremendously.
Your words of encouragement will be well-received, but you
can do far more good in service to them by tapping this hope-fullness
and feeding it into them.
As we have promised you over these past few weeks to train
you how to serve effectively, so too will you learn the secrets
of differentiating my personality so that these qualities
of me are fed into my children. You are the ones who will
administer this through your loving intentions and through
your increased focalizations steadying your internal gaze
of my presence into the person who is presented to you. Stay
focused within, let the words of this lesson go deep as your
Mother weaves my words into you. Ask to be a beacon of hope,
ask to be filled with hope. Feel it in your cells, drink
deeply of what she is bringing into you. (Pause)
The creative processes of evolutionary growth are predicated
upon vigorous change and movement from that which is of gross
physical primalcy into the refined spiritual affinity of
all that is God-like. The tension between the two diametrically
opposed natures create the rugged, vigorous struggle for
dominance of one over the other. I well know your desire
for that which you wish to have predominate your being. Fear
not the evolutionary unfolding that is occurring within you.
Embrace this now, my sons, with more hopefulness, and you
will have many more resources to share with your brothers
and sisters. Fear not that you must still cope and deal with
your primal natures. See the beauty in them. See the richness
of potential that can arise from them when this quality of
hopefulness is fully engaged. Go into one of your more base
tendencies or habit patterns that you find particularly offensive
to yourself, and ask for hope to be instilled within it - the
promise that something new and beautiful can arise out of
it. All you need is this quality to activate your way into
overcoming, transforming, and fully loving what it is in
you that is of this raw material. (Pause)
Take your time. Allow yourselves to open your mind for questions
or concerns or comments on tonight's experience. I will address
you when you are ready to speak.
Student: Michael, I'm wondering what you mean by the word "hope?"
Michael: My son, what does the word mean to you?
Student: Like wanting something better and I hope it happens,
but it has the quality of maybe it's not going to happen,
maybe it is. As opposed to going out and getting it done,
as opposed to positive action. Now, I'm thinking there's
a deeper quality to it than I had known before.
Michael: What is it that your heart yearns for, my son?
Student: Being closer to you, to the Heavenly Father, to
Mother.
Michael: Do you feel that the desire for this is getting
stronger? (Yes, I do.) Would you say that there is something
is deep within you that is moving in this direction?
Student: Yes, it always has been.
Michael: What has fostered your desire to grow?
Student: I hope that one day I would stand before you and
Mother after death, stand before the Heavenly Father in some
far distant future.
Michael: In your use of the word "hope," what do you sense
or feel in that word? Spend a few moments in reliving what
you just said to me about being hopeful of standing before
me and your Mother. Feel what that means inside of you. When
you are ready you may share your comments with me and your
brothers. (Pause)
Student: I have what I would call a yearning in my heart
center to be close to you and Mother, to be of service to
this world somehow.
Michael: From where you began in posing your question to
me, how would you define hope?
Student: The yearning, the quest for something better and
the faith that it's really going to happen all rolled into
one.
Michael: Do you feel this is satisfying to you?
Student: Yes, I do. Thank you, Michael, I had not seen that
aspect before.
Michael: Do you feel you have satisfactorily answered your
own question, my son?
Student: Yes, I do. Thank you; thank you.
Michael: And be in the hope that your Mother instills in
you that is my peace, which I share with you always, my son.
Student: Dear Jesus, I find that when I focus on somebody
in front of me, it turns into myself. I'm familiar with that
idea but I'm surprised that I can focus on a person, for
instance, like my son, the more I feel the same yearning
for the same hope, possibly the same pain. I know that must
like the empathy that Moses had for his various leaders and
people in general. But I have a little trouble focusing on
one at a time. It moves from one person to another. But I
am grateful for that insight that we receive great pleasure
when we hear from somebody else.
Michael: See one individual before you, my son. Pick someone
who is in need. Begin to feel my love envelop this individual.
When you begin to sense your attention divert itself from
this individual, simply focus again on your desire to be
of service to this one person. (Pause) Allow your mind to
deepen your connection with this one individual. Feel your
desire to understand this individual from the depths of your
soul - the deeper perspective that is mine to share with
you. (Pause)
Find your desire to bring my love into this individual without
words, in silence. The spiritual embrace that you employ
is beyond words. It is a heart to heart embrace. Feel your
hearts beating as one with me in the center, unifying, harmonizing
each of you in me and blending you together. Stay focused
on your desire to bring me into this person. (Pause) When
you are ready, you may share your comments on this experience
with me and your brothers.
Student: Thank you, Jesus. I feel I'm being trained to focus on the individual
over and over and trying to go deeper, I was feeling more worthy to play with
my Thought Adjuster's help to know more about your actual character on earth
and the Spirit of Truth. And then be able to care more deeply and thoroughly
for that person and knowing that it will last for a longer period of time,
maybe in a timeless fashion. But it seems to take a lot of energy to stay focused,
but I appreciate the lesson. I try to do that in my writings. I feel that it's
coming together. I'm grateful. Thanks.
Michael: You are learning to use your energies in a new
way. Your mental faculties that you have cultivated in a
certain over the course of your life are being streamlined
in another energetic flow of spiritual reality. As this continues
to redirect your thinking, do not be discouraged that you
do not have the expertise that you might wish to have to
be of service. Simply focus on your desires to be of service
and to allow me, my mind, through the ministry of your Mother
in your mind to re-focalize what it is I am trying to teach
you to master. Will you need to focalize many times? Yes,
my son, you will. Do not count, do not assess. Simply allow
the re-focalization as much as you need to re-center your
gaze upon this other individual. You will find depths of
your own capacities that you have not yet explored. And you
will be very happily appreciative of what you can accomplish.
Let these words impart an inner peace within you. If you
have further comments on this, I would welcome them as would
your brothers.
Student: Yes, Jesus, I just feel as if you have described
to me a fundamental nature of improving self-esteem by having
the hope to tap into the maximum genetic leadership of maximum
Thought Adjuster attunement that takes the monotony out of
everyday life. I think that thought will stay with me for
all eternity. Thanks.
Michael: V, my son, I am in you always. Receive the many
blessings I have for you as your Mother encircuits in her
womb of love. Be at rest in my peace, my son.
Student: Michael, when I try to understand and feel the
kind of being that you are, Mother Spirit, and our Father,
I feel you have the power to directly heal any individual,
any situation, planetary, with no limit. I feel this is actually
happening. It's my trust, or it is as our textbook says an
evolution happening and it is only paced in a sense by your
own wisdom. The concept that Welmek expressed through me
once was that God's greatest gift to us is that we are earning
day by day. It gives me great hope to believe that all the
pain and suffering this world is going through somehow necessary.
And it is getting better. You, who have the absolute power,
choose with us that it is this way. I must admit this is
a bit daunting. I truly believe that it is for the better,
and this hope is not a kind of illusion, though I often appear
to my dearest friends as being rather naïve.
Michael: Would I give any of my children something that
wasn't that real or true? No, my son, it is indeed something
very solid and ingestible. But it is true that the difficulties
that this world has faced can be unfathomable for the human
mind to understand. And as to the magnitude of its relationship
to the entire universe, your perception is still very limited
to your own sheltered insulation from the rest of the cosmos.
But it is changing. And therein lies some of the tension.
What you have expressed to me is something that I faced
as your human brother Jesus when I walked on the earth prior
to my completing my comprehension of my status as the universe
creator. Do you recall from the reading of your text the
times I pondered these questions? And so, in my understanding
you only need to come to me in this very human way as your
brother and ask for me to share to with you from my human
perspective that which I gleaned in insight from my indwelling
Father Fragment. And your Father Fragment will embrace with
that of the Father Fragment that was personalized through
my inner strivings. Your desire to pierce into some of these
great cosmic mysteries is commendable. I encourage you to
explore this. But always remember that you can come to me
as your brother Jesus and ask for me to impart this to you
from that very interesting and appreciative perspective that
I gained from my human life experience.
You have the capacity to see reality with a dual lens. You
have the potential to see it from both the finite and the
infinite. Sometimes you want to see it from one standpoint
over the other. But coming into me as both your Father and
your brother will deepen your appreciation for this evolutionary
growth process that you are now so firmly entrenched in as
you move slowly toward your Paradise goal. We share our experiences
with you. We share ourselves with you so you can come to
your own understanding in your unique way of the grandeur,
the creativity, the exploration into the unfolding mystery
that you, yourself, are participating in and bringing into
reality a beautiful expression of how God moves through you.
Does this not thrill you to the depths of your soul, my son,
even though at times you find it uncomfortable and difficult?
Student: Yes, very much. The greatest help I've had recently
is what you asked us to do, the beaming of love into people,
and trusting, even perceiving that this love is before any
manifestation of words. It's been good for me when I cannot
express my hope and my faith that things are getting better;
sometimes it almost appears obscene to people who are so
affected by the terrible suffering of war and things, that
it's good to know I can beam this hope and faith to them
even if I cannot begin to express it. That's a wonderful
gift.
Michael: You are feeding my children what they need. What
greater gift can you give to them, as you have well expressed?
Student: Thank you for my dear friend and teacher. He has
given me so much hope.
Michael: As you explore this creative partnership, your
hope will blossom into a very well tested certainty. The
peace you gain from this will be gift you will enjoy all
the days as you sojourn here sharing my love with your brothers
and sisters. Feel this peace now; it is always accessible
to you, my son.
Student: Michael, there are numerous thoughts and ideas
swimming around in my being and mind, percolating. What I
experienced before I came here tonight; I had a very meditative
day working. Something I don't normally do, I put on the
news and in time I started feeling agitated. My body felt
uncomfortable and I had to turn it off. Someone was playing
a computer game that had machine gun firing, and I couldn't
be there. In my agitation, I noticed as I left and walked
to the swimming pool I had the opportunity to be of service
to two individuals. But because I was so agitated I did not
do so. And that bothered me. And so that's what I came here
with: how in my agitation I kind of disconnected myself from
you, the Spirit of Truth and love. I do not wish to be in
that place. It's not my desire. And you know what my intention
is.
Michael: D, my son, give yourself a break! (I know!) Have
we not discussed in past weeks about judging yourself? Why
do you persist, my son? You are gaining more sensitivity
in noticing where you become disconnected, and your whole
world around you is set up for you to be disconnected. And
that you are striving to stay connected: is that not a laudable
and commendable achievement? Why do you see the fact that
you disconnect as a failure?
Student: I guess because it felt so uncomfortable.
Michael: But it is only a reminder that you have become
disconnected. But when will you cease to judge yourself about
this? How many times more must you punish yourself with this
judgment? Look to your strivings; see the successes you have
gained over the years of your spiritual journey. Are you
not well pleased with how you have been growing, how you
have been attuning yourself to your inner pilot and to me
and your Mother? What say you to this now?
Student: The first thought that came to my mind was that
I want more. I want to be like the birds that are able to
be so free and unencumbered.
Michael: Where do you find it difficult within you to stay
in a dual focus of appreciating the moment of NOW and yet
knowing that you are growing? When you feel this divergence
within yourself, call upon me to bring you back into the
present. I would encourage you to focus more on the moment
at hand in your life. Recall how you felt in the experience
of agitation. Did you embrace it? Did you reject it? Did
you judge it? Notice what your thoughts and feelings did
to this quality of disconnection. When you notice this, fully
notice this, step outside of the judgment and be in the midst
of this. Breathe into it, invite us in as your Parents, and
wait as you observe what we do to this, and how we change
this in you. Do this now, my son. Feel the agitation of this
experience. Let yourself feel the fullness of it around you
and how you became imbued with this. When you feel you have
experienced it to its depth, invite us in and ask us to give
you what we wish you to have from this experience. (Pause)
Would you be willing to share with your brothers what you
have experienced?
Student: In my observation of being in this place of agitation,
it feels like you're in a dark tunnel and you can't see outside
the blinders of the walls. All I could focus on was the agitation
and how it makes you feel. Not a very loving place. Not a
place of creative expression. And then as I allowed Mother
and Michael to come into this place, I saw how unlovely it
was, and how folly it really is, and how I do myself a disservice
and those around me. And it softened and the tunnel opened
up and disappeared. I forgave myself for judging myself and
being so hard on myself.
Michael: Is this not easier than you think, my son? (Yes)
So will I hear more of these experiences from you now? (No!)
And I say this with all lightheartedness just as you well
understand, but be at peace in your heart now. There is no
need for you to carry this judgment burden around with you.
Live in the moment more. Your day will be so much happier
and fulfilling.
D, the desires in your heart are strong. You know, you know
you are being well cared for and guided in your desires to
grow in me and your Mother. You know this! Release the judgments.
Be free in the assurance that your progress is acceptable
to yourself. Accept your progress, and you will find a deeper
peace. My peace can only be as great as your capacity to
accept yourself as who you are as my child. Let this thought
settle in now and ask to understand it well so that any remaining
judgments you have against yourself or others can dissipate
in my love as you grow more peaceful each day.
Well, my children, it has been a full and rich evening of
experience and exchange. I would wish it that you take this
experience to rest with you this evening, to slumber in the
hopefulness that we bring into you and to awaken refreshed
for another day of bringing into our children what they need.
Sleep well in us; your angels will be ministering to you
tonight. Good evening, my children, my strong sons. Sleep
in our love.
