MEETING WITH ABRAHAM & EMULAN--LIFE-GIVING ENERGY
APRIL 10, 2000
WOODS CROSS GROUP

I am ABRAHAM. Greetings. What a beautiful evening in which to gather and
reaffirm our faith, and recommit to the cause. I do indeed look forward to
each week when we can view with our own spiritual eyes Father increasing
among us. EMULAN would have some words for you.

Greetings, my friends. I too feel blessed to be with you and know that we
each play an integral part in the Brotherhood.

In the days of old families would dwell in the same homes. There was never a
time where a friend or neighbor could not just come by. There was always
room for one more at every families table. In these small communities there
was a definite need for the Brotherhood just to actually survive.

The adversities of that day and age, individuals needed one another because
hardship came too easy, and there was mutual understanding that one could
depend upon their neighbors. When hardship struck, compassionate, practical,
God-loving and God-fearing individuals found it altogether right and proper
to assist their neighbor, for when hard times came to pass, they would
expect the same assistance in return.

With modern technology making life more convenient man has learned to be
independent. Independence is a wonderful thing when the economy supports the
whole. Conveniences are practical and helping society to evolve, allowing
more time for those things that are really important like: family,
stillness, and service.

Technology in this day and age however has brought with it much competition,
and with the fading or distorted spiritual practices, it was easier for man
to become individualistic. Man does not so much rely upon his neighbor
anymore, but he is now seemingly competitive to do better than his neighbor.

There are still God-loving individuals who serve to be of spiritual use and
find fulfillment in that. There are still those God-fearing individuals who
will serve because they fear God's wrath. What reason have you now to uphold
your brothers and sisters? Is there the desire to have more than your
neighbor or at least as much?

Love, my friends, is a living energy that without humans literally can die.
Look at a baby who has not experienced the love from a parent who would rock
himself, craving the loving parental arms and stimulus around him. Look at
these children who grow without love. What becomes of them? They are also
unloving and unproductive.

Love, my friends, is a flowing life-giving current which sustains all
things, which heals all things, which unifies all things. Can a man serve in
a world without that life-giving energy? Can he build a product which would
replace love? Can one build a school where children dwell, and be slothful
and looking for gain, when he thinks of his own children?

What good is this mortal life without love--love to give and love to
receive? How will competition or individualism fill the emptiness where
life-giving energy should be? How will individualism serve the whole? There
is no question that each person is a distinct and unique child of God in
which Father knows on a very personal level. You should not downplay the
importance of this, and yet not become so wrapped up in it that all else is
less important.

Michael is the founder of this Brotherhood. He is at the helm. He would see
it His honor to fill His pan with water and wash your feet as He did those
apostles of old. He does not distinguish one foot from the next, be you man
or woman, young or old, rich or poor. He has made your place in this
Brotherhood. He counts Himself as one of you. He is a Creator Son,
Brother\Father, and yes--Sovereign of our universe, but He counts Himself a
brother in this Brotherhood.

He cannot make your lives easier in a technological fashion, but He would
certainly uphold you or teach you and bestow upon you that life-giving
energy in a brotherly fashion. Welcome Him among you. Allow Him to take your
feet and make you feel a part of His Brotherhood. Welcome Him among you.
Know that in your dealings with your fellows He is one of you.

How can we take the Master's example of not being able to distinguish one
foot from the next, but only have the willingness to be there for your
fellows and pass along this life-giving energy--love. Love surpasses all
pain, all those petty differences, all those hurt feelings that someone does
disservice to you.

This week, my friends, put love first as your focus concerning your dealings
within the Brotherhood. Ponder upon the Master's symbolic spiritual
cleansing. Allow Him to be welcome among you as one of you. I am with more
love for you each time we meet. I would be willing to answer your questions
during the week. Abraham and myself bid you farewell.
