Message
from Matthew June 11, 2013 US “independence”; God: politics, three levels
of action, assessing candidates; multiple effects of prevailing vibrations; memory loss; dietary benefits; balance With loving greetings from all souls at this station, this
is Matthew. From our vantage point, Earth looks like a sea of strobe lights as people are responding to the prevailing vibrations.
You are feeling what is going on much more than seeing developments. We will get back to that, but first we want to give you an important glimpse of history that relates to the United
States’ celebration of its independence from England with traditional Fourth of July parades, patriotic speeches and
fireworks. The highest universal council
meant for the colonies that fought for independence from British rule to be a showcase of souls’ sovereignty. Once united,
this nation was to have shown the rest of the world that when people are free to exercise God-given rights, they live peacefully,
cooperatively, creatively and prosperously. Successive
waves of early settlers followed their urge to “be free” and the founders of the United States acted upon their
divinely inspired mission to form a nation that guaranteed civil liberties, however limited those were in the beginning since
many in the population were excluded. The darkness that was heavily entrenched on the planet enabled slavery to flourish and
denied women the right to vote. Those
exclusions mattered not a whit to the Illuminati whose power, in part, was seated in England’s royal family. They were
not about to forfeit control of the “free” populace or the land’s vast wealth of natural resources, and
they swiftly extended their European empire across the Atlantic. Through the top figures in industries, banks and government—and
later sneaking into law the Federal Reserve System that in no way is a federal institution—the Illuminati regained control
of the United States. During the
centuries since they extinguished the beacon that nation was intended to be for your world, they kept spreading their network
of corruption and deception until it was global. Now that the network is losing the remaining remnants of its former power,
step by step you are consciously claiming the sovereignty that always has been yours as the god and goddess selves you are.
Now then, whenever our messages include
politically-related information, readers email their objections. This is one of the more gracious comments: “If the
messages are to prepare us spiritually for ascension, as Matthew has said, he should stick to that and stop trying to influence
our political opinions.” Rather
than explain again why we speak about political issues and their importance in the context of ascension—Earth’s
and your society’s—I have asked my mother to copy what God said about this. [The following, an excerpt from the chapter “Be Informed and Act”
in Voices of the Universe, was transmitted October 4, 2003.] The politics that controls all countries, all peoples, all economies and resources of your planet homeland
has been instrumental in bringing your world to the devastated state it’s in. In no country on Earth are people free. For millennia the dark souls of civilizations beyond your planet have
been influencing their willing Earth brothers and sisters in leadership positions to deceive and intimidate the rest of the
people. Regardless of who holds national leadership roles, they rule by the dictates of those forces that are unknown to the
people and perhaps even to the rulers.
The influence of those dark alien puppeteers has resulted in all declarations of war and all decisions regarding economies
and resources of the world. Their secondary aim is increasing the control and wealth of Earth’s leaders, whose greed
for power makes them eager puppets, thus today you have a world with unprecedented concentration of vast riches, impoverished
nations, willful environmental destruction and corruption oozing out of corporate connections with governments. The ultimate aim of the puppeteers is annihilation
of your planet. That will NOT happen, but beneficial changes for all require a change in the character of your world’s
leaders. Voices must be raised with demands for leaders of spiritual integrity—that kind of character is exemplified,
not merely proclaimed. I don’t mean that no leaders ever have been strong in virtues or that no voices ever have been
raised to protest injustice and inequities—indeed there have been those individuals. Many of those brave souls suffered
or died for that, and much of their good works has been undone by succeeding generations who blindly followed self-serving
leaders. Now, the collective
will of the people is rising to expose and oppose this situation. As lies are exposed, more lies are being told, and those
will be exposed too. Tyrannical regimes must and shall change. Although plans are afoot for this peaceful revolution through
a joint effort between your civilization and many of your space family, that does not absolve any of you who desire a finer,
brighter world from the responsibility of helping to create it. You all chose to be where you are at this time precisely so
you could do exactly that! Actually, some of you embodied in other lifetimes as great leaders on Earth and well beyond, and
you are back now to take on similar inspirational and constructive roles. It is on three levels that you must act so that honorable governing bodies will be achieved. The first level
is spiritual, and I’ll tell you what spiritual is NOT: It is not membership in any of the multitude of your religions.
It is not the self-righteousness that is evident in great abundance. It is not escaping into a head-in-the-sand “prayer
life.” It is not believing that neither good nor evil exists because those are only judgments. It is not accepting
that everything is in divine order and will run its course without your participation. It is not refraining from seeing what
is going on in your world because you’ve been told it’s all an illusion anyway. I am not saying that there is
no truth in any of that; what I’m saying is that spirituality is not an inherent aspect of any. The spiritual level on which you will change your
leaders from being darkly-ruled themselves to people worthy of being leaders—true leaders with spiritual integrity—is
within your hearts. That’s your usual depiction of where love resides, is it not? Actually, the sensation of love is
a province of the soul, but it has strong physical effects at the heart that instantly spread throughout your entirety to
uplift you in spirit, mind and body.
Love starts with self, with living so that loving self is as natural as breathing. Only then can you give and receive love.
Love is contagious, unlimited, omnipresent. It is what changes bleakness of spirit into fullness of spirit, illness into health,
lack into prosperity. It is the absence of love that breeds all the woes of your world, and it is filling the void with love
that will cure the woes. This is not asking you to love what brings misery and deprivation and harm! It is asking you to
simply feel love so you can send forth that energy—it will seek its way to the void. The second level is mental—deeply thinking to discern what
is truth and what isn’t instead of buying into what candidates say. The catch is, what information is truthful and what
is not? What sources can be trusted? You have been deceived for eons by a few souls in one generation after another after
another whose intent is to retain the control over you, so access to the truth is not easily come by. How can I put this
so it is not a series of Don’ts? Always I prefer to be positive in statements, and I’ve already compromised that
by my explaining what being spiritual isn’t. Very well, I know how to proceed—think of what you want in your world. If that is peace and harmony
and cooperation, that’s where to focus your thoughts. What will bring that to the world? Think of what will: Respect
and dignity for all races and faiths and genders; help wherever help is needed; equitable sharing of Earth’s massive
riches; cures of all diseases; education, fulfilling work and comfortable homes for everyone; honesty, kindness, compassion,
fairness, harmony, sharing, justness, forgiveness. Think of all those qualities and circumstances and let your heart and conscience guide you to the candidates
you most closely identify with them. The words of campaign promises are worthless without a candidate’s heart and soul
in them. Let your heart and soul, not just your eyes and ears, lead you to the persons who exemplify the love and light that’s
needed to uplift your world.
The third level is action. If you want leaders whom you trust and respect, work toward that end. Publicly and financially
support the people you want in office, but if that isn’t possible, then put forth your intention through the power of
your energy focused on those persons actually holding the positions— I can’t emphasize too strongly the power
of intent! You can be sure that the current people in power will have their supporters actively working because those folks
get the trickle-down largesse in exchange. You who want love, peace and harmony will receive those incomparably greater victories
in exchange for the energy you put forth to create them. Thank you, Mother, and now we return to our statement that you are feeling what is happening more so than seeing
it. No one is immune to the effects of the highest vibrations that bodies ever have had to adjust to. This is all to the benefit
of everyone who is absorbing light—their cells are transitioning from carbon structure to crystalline, and if uncomfortable
physical, emotional or mental sensations are adjustment-related, they will pass. The most unsettling effect may be momentary memory loss. Perhaps you can’t remember the name of someone you
know well or a specific word eludes you. When you walk out of a room or get into your car, you forget where you intended to
go and why. Or maybe, once you are in the grocery store, you can’t think of the item you went there buy. If you are
experiencing those or similar kinds of lapses, dear ones, please do not fret about it! Mother, please copy what our friend from a highly advanced civilization
said about this memory situation. Readers may appreciate hearing from another source the same information that we would give.
[Saminten’s explanation during
one of our conversations in 2003 is in the chapter by that name in Illuminations for a New Era.] You decry the loss of time that seems to be zipping by and another
loss you lament is memory. Neither of these aspects of third dimensional awareness is being lost, dear ones. “Time”
never has been as you devised it with 24 hours each day and 12 months in a year and so forth. This has served you well, but
no longer is this happening. Your time structure is collapsing as energy is moving at its lighter density speed, and your
periods of light and dark are coming with more velocity. So rather than time being lost, it is speeding up. The memories that many of you speak of as “gone,”
are not. With the acceleration of everything within the universe, it is natural that the cells of your body are reacting
to being lifted into a higher survival mode. Most of all, this is affecting your brains—the computers that turn on
your thinking and reasoning processes—and this is necessary! The light being absorbed by your cells is allowing your
brains to slough the layers of forgetfulness and programming that have denied them full functioning ability. If you are not experiencing any memory loss or a
sense of scattered thinking, then you are stuck in the third density that not much longer will be the status of Earth’s
being. So it is desirable for you to feel not quite firmly in touch with the reality of the day or the environment. Thank you, Mother. The prevailing vibrations also are changing
physical needs, and along with expanding your conscious and spiritual awareness, accommodating your bodies’ requirements
is of paramount importance. Sufficient
sleep is essential—give your body the rejuvenation time it needs to perform well. Drinking a lot of pure water also
is essential—it helps to eliminate the toxins you absorb through your polluted environment and adulterated foods, and
it helps to keep bodies’ electrical systems working properly. Exercise in accordance with physical ability aids in those
respects too, and it helps circulatory and respiratory systems to behave smoothly. If you aren’t as hungry as you used to be, that’s good—the more light in a body, the less food
it needs. Eat wisely. Fresh fruits and vegetables, foods that contain the most light, will hasten crystalline cellular growth
and boost energy levels. Cut back on dairy products—they do not contain the nutritional value that is claimed and they
clog circulatory systems. If you aren’t
ready to eliminate meat and seafood from the menu, reduce the quantity—most food animals live and die in horrible conditions
and the energy of their traumas is passed on to consumers. Please understand that this is meant only to enlighten you and
in no way is it intended as criticism of non-vegetarians! Contrary to your expression “sugar high,” digesting processed sugars lowers energy levels. Choose whole
grain cereals and breads, and if you have no allergies to nuts, almonds and walnuts are the best choices. All well and good
if chocolate, coffee and tea cravers are having no ill effects from caffeine; however, if you are having digestive problems,
caffeine may be a contributor. Drinking red wine in moderate amount can enhance the blood stream—this suggestion does
not apply to persons who have drinking problems!—and sodas are not good for anyone. Those are general diet guidelines for a typically healthy person, but the
bottom line is, pay attention to your body—it will tell you what it needs for optimum operation. In blessing your food,
asking that it serve your highest good and feeling grateful for the plants and animals that provided it adds light to whatever
you are eating—doing that silently is as effective as audibly. During this stage of adjusting to lighter energy, mood swings and phases of inertia or unusual nervousness are natural,
and drugs prescribed to relieve those conditions instead exacerbate them. If you are taking medications for other health issues,
talk with your caregiver about dosage reduction. Even better, ask if remedies with natural ingredients can offer the same measure of treatment. The proliferation
of chemicals in drugs and engineered food interferes with bodies’ self-healing mechanisms and other natural processes,
and that makes it difficult to maintain balance. Find out if fatigue and other distress may be due to an imbalance in hormone
levels or body chemistry—if so, learn which natural supplements can treat the condition. We cannot emphasize too strongly the importance of balance! The universe
is in a constant balancing act and so is every life form within it; however, for the long ages that darkness enshrouded Earth,
the planet and her residents were severely deprived of the light that attaining balance requires. If you think of the balancing
act as an internal teeter-totter that is perpetually moving in accordance with your condition in body, mind and spirit, you
can see that the optimal motion is gentle rocking. Meditation is especially helpful in maintaining or regaining that motion, and there are ways other than sitting in
silence or listening to lovely sounds composed especially for achieving a relaxing meditative state. Spend time out in Nature,
enjoy the companionship of animals, read poetry. Listen to your favorite music—unless it’s heavy metal, which
shatters balance, and the tones of classical compositions are the most effective in restoring balance. Make time for solitude—even
a brief period can be restorative. Laughter
is good for the soul and so is anything that evokes feelings of tranquility. In leisure time, choose lighthearted reading
and the same quality of TV programs and movies. Spend time with dear friends and family. When it isn’t possible to avoid
unpleasant encounters, envisioning light permeating the situation will help to alleviate stressfulness. Give thanks for blessings
in your life—gratitude, like hope and optimism, is filled with light. The prevailing vibrations also are intensifying energetic differences and many individuals are feeling a strong desire
to make a major change. Perhaps look for a different job, end a relationship or start one, pursue a new field of studies,
relocate to an area you know or maybe a place you know of but never have visited. We are not speaking about rashly acting
upon an impulse, but rather heeding a growing sense of urgency to act upon an idea that has been simmering—this is the
soul speaking increasingly loudly to the consciousness: This is what you chose in your soul contract. Why are we offering guidance that we have mentioned, albeit more briefly,
in previous messages or is available in any number of down-to-earth sources? We are telling you, our beloved Earth family:
Please take care of yourselves! The
energy streamers that will be swirling with increasing forcefulness are prime opportunities to absorb light, and the sounder
you are physically, mentally and emotionally, the more greatly you will benefit. You chose this lifetime so you could participate
in your world’s transformation and spiritual renewal, and soul evolvement is the purpose of every lifetime—both
require balance in body, mind and spirit. Letting mundane matters interfere with self-care or ignoring your soul’s messages
causes imbalance and that dims your light, the light you need to experience what you chose and to evolve! Dear ones, love yourselves as much as we love you, and
take care of yourselves!

Michael Lightline - October 17, 2013. Dear
Michael and Mother Spirit, we wish to thank you for initiating, overseeing, and taking care of inviting all the various kinds
of beings to write the Urantia Book. It’s something we treasure so much, largely because it gives us a sense of not
only who but what the two of you are, the kinds of beings you are. We enjoy those chapters
on what a Creator Son and a Creator Daughter of the Paradise Trinity--what the two of you are. It really stretches our creative
imaginations, our creative spirit, to think about beings hundreds of billions of years old—many, many times older than
what our scientists say our universe is. It’s all that much more glorious that we have your presence right within us
along with all of our--yours and our--Father, whose presence is also within us. These
are three great spiritual presences within us; and then beyond that, the fact we can contact you in our prayers and mediations,
and even in these Lightline teleconferences--hear your lessons and have a chance to carry on a conversation with you. So thank
you for being in us, and a part of us, and being so contactable. We certainly do appreciate it. Amen. Michael: Good evening, this is Michael, and Mother
Spirit and I accept your most gracious invitation to join you. As per your introduction, we are definitely happy to be part
of you, part of your mental makeup. And we are here. We are actually here and part of your life. It delights us when you can
feel us, when you can recognize what we are contributing to your life. It’s when you can feel Mother Spirit’s
surrounding dimensions of mind. You can feel yourself in not only a kind of classical time-and-space
dimension, but with your creative imagination, you also have some notion of being in all these other dimensions of mind and
spirit that so thoroughly encompass and penetrate you. They’re much like the radio and television frequencies that are
going right through you this very moment. Yet where, if you’re deep underground, or say, deep in the bowels of a huge
building, those radio and TV signals can barely penetrate, if at all; there’s nothing in all material creation that
separates you from us, or separates you from our Father. Our dimensions of spirit penetrate, and are universal, everywhere.
This is God’s omnipresence, and his power within that, that you can tap into. And so we welcome
you—welcome you to feeling us, understanding us, and sharing your life with us. For that last part there--that sharing
your life with us--is up to you. This is totally a function of your free will choice and how much you want to be aware of
us, and how much you want to consciously invite us in. The last time on this teleconference I talked about
this question of free will. This comes right from your own uniqueness, my children, because you are a unique being, created
this way by God, and you are endowed with the Eternal Son’s creative spirit. Because you are a creative spiritual being
yourselves, you can originate something right out of yourselves, something that has no previous existence in all of reality,
all of time and space. We have characterized you before as a nodule of creativity out here in time/space. With
your creative spirit you can come up with something new. Then with your mind capacity, with all the gifts of the Infinite
Spirit funneled down to you through your Mother Spirit, Nebadonia, your mind can give form and expression to your fundamental
creative spirit. She helps through your reasoning, through your understanding, through your knowledge of past experiences,
and through your courage to entertain what your creative spirit can come up with and not simply brush aside or deny. It’s
also the way you can share your mind with others, other human beings, and get so much from them--get all their ideas and all
their reasoning’s. You can get all of this from them, all of their soul experience. Then
with your wisdom--the ability to unite--your personality can unite and unify all this raw material so thoroughly shot through
and interpreted and combined with your own creativity. This is the kind of nodule, the focal point of personality that you
are, surrounded by all these endless dimensions that we tease you with--the notion that there are hundreds or more dimensions
that you will come to know in the eons and eons of time stretching out before you without end. Think of all the dimensions
you will encounter with other kinds of extra-human beings, and learn to make these too your own, these gifts of the other
kinds of beings that the Urantia Book introduces you to. It comes back to this thing of will power.
You are a focal point of all of these dimensions if you can bring them into your consciousness and choose to be aware of them;
and then begin to exercise them, to bring them into fruition. Just like a plant that has its fruit, you, a living personality,
can be fruitful. You cannot only conceive of, originate, and then work through, all the details of things: you can begin to do them. This
is where the will power comes in, first of all in being open, being open to what can originate within you and what is not,
shall we say, denied or blanked out, refused to be thought about or entertained. We love that word entertain,
my children, because this is when you have to allow something into you, let your mind chew on it a bit, and work it out. Think
about it. Play with it. Let it into you. Entertain it. Let it entertain you, these new ideas, shall we say, of a better way
to live, to grow; a way to keep encompassing greater and greater dimensions of reality. All
this you have in potential as a child of God. But then it gets down to doing something, either thinking it through, making
notes, diagrams, whatever it takes: keeping it in mind. Last time I mentioned taking notes in your mediation, or getting a
calendar with large spaces so every day you can write down what you’ve been doing. What is your progress? What have
you been doing for the last few weeks, the last few months, even the last few years? Where are you going in terms of where
you’ve been? What’s your orientation?--especially with the help of my Spirit of Truth, your orientation towards
that which is greater than you, the whole greater realm of spirit and creativity. Irrespective of whether something is comfortable
or not, or even possible or not as you are today: is it true? How does it feel? How does that feel within you—simply:
is it true? That gets into all your politics and social things. But then your will power, your will power
to sit in meditation when your impatient social activities, shall we way, are clamoring for you to get up off that chair,
get out and do something? Still!--to have the will power to sit there and open yourself to spirit and to mind; to pray, to
orient yourself to greater spirit and have the wonderful humility to ask of greater power and greater spirit for help, especially
for help for someone else. It’s to have the will power to think things through, to plan, to organize, to work on all
the experience you’ve had--all the knowledge, all that you know because you’ve done it--it’s happened to
you: to work that into understanding. What’s connected to what in what way? What follows what? What causes what? What
has to be before something else? What of all the plans that you need to have some feeling for, like:
What do you want to do? Given the whole range of possibility--from the easiest to the most difficult: What
do you want to do? What do want to have in your life? Who do you want to have in your life, and how do you
go about that? These are all dimensions of mind, and depend upon having the will power to spend time working all of this out--the
good work. And then, in the doing of things, remember the old trilogy of: physical facts, mental
meanings and relationships, and then spiritual value. How about these physical facts? How about the will power
it takes to start doing something physically, that I talked about so much last Lightline? What is the state of your physical
being? What is your health? And what is your will power tied to moment by moment as you go through the day, especially the
times you--shall we say--are not required to be somewhere, doing something because of some previous arrangements
that are tied in with other folks: your work, your family, your neighborhood? Apart from those—consider
your time by yourself with those things over which you have choice moment to moment because you’re not previously committed.
How are you using your will power to be creative, and efficient, and functioning in those moments just for you? What
is your diet? What are you putting into your body? Are you doing so thinking and feeling your body as a temple, a magnificent event beyond
your full comprehension, of all your libraries and all your medicine? This miracle, the physical being you have: do you give
it all the respect you can? Do you give it all the help you can, to be ever more healthy, strong, flexible, agile? So
these are the dimensions of will power: spiritually, mentally, and physically. Dealing first with spiritual value: what’s
really important to you? Then you have your mental relationships of everything to everything else; your knowledge, your understanding,
your courage to open to new things, Mother Spirit’s adjutants of counsel--your relationship to all those around you.
There’s the wisdom you are able to bring to your whole life’s experience, and understanding to each moment. Think
of all these marvelous dimensions of your human being, all coming down to focus on: dear God, dear Father, what do I do next? Even:
having the courage to open yourself and make a decision--What is the best thing to do next?--isn’t
this another word for freedom? Doesn’t this require a free will? Isn’t this what gives you the dignity of a living
personal being--the dignity of free will that you get to choose what to do next? Think about it. I’ll
open the floor now to any questions or comments you may have. (long pause) Good. I can feel
you thinking. (another long pause) Well, my dear ones, there is no necessity here between us for questions
or comments. It’s quite alright. That’s another aspect of freedom, is it not: to get beyond necessity, to feel
yourself complete--however imperfect? Still, in all, because you are part of the creation, you are a created being.
You are complete moment to moment. There’s no need, there’s no necessity for any of this. It’s simply God’s
will--this whole Creation. It’s his delight. And it’s part of his delight that it can be our delight as well.
So isn’t it wonderful to feel this--shall we say—lack-of-necessity? That too can be another definition, another
feeling of freedom. Just to be: because you are. Student: Yes. Michael, this is G. I had a question.
I was reading, “Christ’s Way,” I guess, is one of the books or writings that you created. One of them was
talking about after your baptism when you were walking towards the mountains, how you were enlightened in a way. You actually
saw things in their molecular structure. I think you called it like a “shimmer of tiny motes”--or something similar
to that--you know; the creative power of the mind itself and inner consciousness. It was more of an awakening, I guess, that
you experienced. And I’m wondering if you could talk about that? Michael: Well, yes,
my son, I’ve talked about that a number of times--which you can look up through the transcripts, if you wish--what those
moments were after my cousin did baptize me, and I had this profound change in my being. As the Urantia Book puts it so correctly,
when I walked down into the Jordan that day, that was my last act as a purely human being. Once I had a presentation of being
a Creator Son of God--as well as a human being--as I’ve said before, I still walked along as a human being. I could
still feel the dust between my toes, and feel the sun on my face--I also had, all of sudden, Creator prerogatives. As you
know, it was almost a kind of a cosmic joke, or moment of humor, when the first extraordinary miracle I performed was only
partly consciously, was as much a surprise to me as to those around me. (Ed: I believe he is referring to the event of turning
water into wine) I realized again just how careful I had to be as a Creator Son of God in human form. Think
of those choices I had to make about what to do with this power, this creative power. And so, if it’s to answer your
question, I had to go off by myself, much to the consternation of my followers who were suddenly missing me and much worried.
I had to make certain decisions about how to live the rest of my life here because I was assured by my first-born Son between
Mother Spirit and me; I was given the assurance that I had fulfilled all the requirements put upon a Creator Son having a
human life. So I had to decide what to do with the rest of my human life. And as you know, one
of the things that occurred to me--a temptation, if you will: I could wave my hand and wipe out the Roman Occupation of my
people. It was the whole tradition I was raised in of what the Messiah would do, and suddenly I had the power to do it. But
also, my son, at that time, being not only Jesus, but Michael too, I was blessed with this dual nature of Michael’s
as well. What pure, genuine spirit chooses to do is summed up in the expression “The spirit suggests and offers. It
does not compel.” Spirit acts in the ways to maximize the free will dignity of all those beings that I and you now come
in contact with. This is what those first few days, and then weeks--of my being Michael-and-Jesus--were
about: these choices, these decisions that you too have, and that I talked on tonight--this creative power of yours. What
are you going to do with it? How are you going to manifest your uniqueness as a God-created being? How are you going to manifest
your creativity, especially in your relationships with all these others, these other free-willed spiritual beings around you,
these other folks? So: welcome. Welcome to being a God-created being. It’s what we
have in common. You in your own realm, and in your own time, are going through what I went through--as soon as you also have
this change-of-being by realizing your creativity. Does that help answer the question? Student:
Yes, it does. Thanks, Michael. I guess there’s no easy road to anything really. So I guess I have to just keep trying. Michael:
My son, it’s also the fact that there is a road. There is a road there to walk, and you have the feet to walk on it.
Yes, by all means, you’re constantly deciding. Consider that poem you have about the two paths that diverged in a woods,
and you have to choose one. But the fact is: the path is there, and will always be there. There will always be that next step
to take, even though, as I’ve teased you with before, it may be the feeling of you standing on the rim of the Grand
Canyon, and your faith demands that you step off, trusting that the ground will be there under your foot. It always has been.
It always will be. You’re actually on a road, and it’s called the Creation. So keep stepping off. Student:
Yes. We truly are lucky just being here, then, you know, having the ability to choose. Thanks again, Michael. Michael:
The ability to choose: that too is up to you, and it can be a progressive thing because it’s not assured.
It’s part of this existential being that you are. There are possibilities of denial and things like that, you know--being
split within yourself. But also you have this impulse, this desire and ability to unify behind your actions. You can bring
all your spirit, and mind, and physicalness into a unity. Definitely keep stepping off. It takes
nerve, but then that’s a genuine accomplishment, my son. It becomes part of your soul. Be in my peace. Student:
Thank you, Michael. Michael: So, my children, you see how we’re similar in a sense,
even though you are just starting out into eternity. We are creative Sons and Daughters of God, and we each have challenges
within our own spheres. But the very effort it takes to do, to be: that too is inexhaustible in its very use. I
talked last time of how you can get lost and almost drown in a swamp of mystery. This can be a part of denial, just by making
a mystery of everything and being content with that, rather than knowing the fulfillment of actual accomplishment. Yet this
by no means suggests that things have to be difficult to have meaning. Everything has meaning simply in its actuality, and
in its relationship to everything else. Things don’t have to be difficult. That could be just another little way to
hide away from those things which are delightfully easy, and almost seem to fall your way. Because that’s being ever
more in God’s will. Being attuned to his will can seem to be easy, just because it works. It gloriously works. In
this sense--as we’ve taught so many times before--you are part of the Deity Absolute. You are a part of the deified
aspect of reality. Even if in this one dimension only--along these lines of your very existence--you absolutely are!--though
many of you have the capacity, and notion, to doubt even that. That’s another example of just how free you are. And
so, my dear ones, it’s Mother Spirit’s and my wish that you do find this wonderful great glory of genuine accomplishment.
The fact, the cosmic fact, the cosmic reality is that you are here. You are absolutely here. And you can do things. You can
think things. You can imagine things right out of your own unique essence. And that’s what you have to give to the rest
of us, what you uniquely can come up with. That’s our glory: that you have something to give to us, we can get from
nowhere else. It’s why Mother Spirit and I thank you. We thank you for trying.
We thank you for all this effort you put in to exercising your free will, this mystery that becomes reality, becomes a part
of your soul, becomes a part of our soul, becomes a part of God’s soul--the Supreme Being. So
rest easy, my dear ones. Let it all go from time to time. Let it all go. Sleep deep. Rest deeply, because you have the ability
at any moment to start again, to re-create yourself and your connection with all of this stuff, this whole Creation
all around you. And be in my peace. Good evening. ```````

#4722 Love Soars and Fear Disappears, October 29, 2013 God said: Your
mind and your habits of thinking signal to you that that there is difficulty. Regardless of what befalls, you would be problem-free
if you had not so well-learned the concept of difficulty. You would be as free as a bird if you had not learned well that
life is composed of difficulties and you have to be on the alert. How well you learned danger and aversion to it. It is as
if you planted an alarm within you, an alarm that alerts you constantly. You were born into a world that taught
you ideas of right and wrong, and that challenges in life were wrong, unbidden, unfavored, as if you were not to grow, as
if there were a limit set on growth, as if life were to expand so far and no further, that safety was primary and living life
really was to be avoided, averted, opposed to you. There is no doubt about it. You can look at life as though
it were treacherous and uncalled for. You can look at injustice and cruelty. They are not hard for you to see. And so you
make judgment. All this judgment was cultured into you. You were not born with it. You were born innocent. You were born with
the prediction of goodness and care. You were born to thrive and not to retire from life as it comes, as it happens. What
if, as a child, you knew only love and did not become acquainted with fear? What if you were not confined and made to cry?
What if you were greeted totally with love and encouragement and knew nothing else? This does not mean you would
be savage or spoiled. You would have your own way in the sense that love is your way. What if there were no repression, no
punishment, no correction except for love? What health you would have, what vision, what joy in life. Joy in
life is what you would have learned and what you would give unabashedly. What happiness, what laughter, what consideration.
How you would embrace life and be embraced by it. Alas, this is not how life has been cultured, and, so now,
culture well-being for yourself. Love yourself now. Put balm on your wounds, and heal them. Be good-natured once again, and
be good-natured to yourself. The world found fault with you. You have had enough of the concept of fault. There
is no fault except a stamp imposed upon you. Love blossoms you, and yet love finds no fault to improve. With more love, the
concept of being improved would not exist. Not even approval would exist. There would be no need for it. Nothing would have
to be made better. What for? You are a beautiful viable human being who, too often, was being improved, and that may have
been to your detriment. Disapproved of, you were not improved. You were hampered. Where is freedom when you are
cramped? Perhaps your sense of self-worth wasn’t allowed to grow as your feet might not if they were always cramped
in too tight shoes. Everyone has awareness of not cramping the body, yet when it comes to heart, cramping may be the order
of the day. Let there be an end to this. Substitute enjoyment, laughter, appreciation instead. Let everyone be
free. With freedom, there would be no need for license. There would be no need of recrimination or going too far. There would
not even be need for love because love would soar on its own. All would come down to the knowledge that love is all, and that
is all there is. What a comfort that would be. Love would be like a warm quilt in winter, and it would be a fair breeze in
summer. Love would soar, and fear would disappear. Then you would be able to look at the world and say that all
is good, for good is all you would know. |
