(The blessings of peace of mind)

Dear Michael and Mother Spirit,    We find ourselves evermore deeply 
immersed in both social and political moral evaluations, and so we ask your 
help.  We ask you, Mother Spirit, help us feel your Spirit Adjutants of 
Worship and Wisdom; and Michael, help us experience your Spirit of Truth, so 
we can come to this greater spiritual sense of proportion you speak 
of—eventually, or ultimately, reaching for a world-wide inclusive sense of 
value and meaning.  Help us be open-minded and bring it all back home to 
where we can continuously re-evaluate our own lives and what steps we need 
to take to be more healthy, more spiritually sensitive.  Amen.

MICHAEL:  Good evening, my children, this is Michael, your spiritual father, 
Creator Son of Nebadon—our Local Universe here in the galaxy.  Let’s pause a 
moment and feel ourselves to be citizens of such an enormous realm of God’s 
creativity.  For it is all real out here.  All this actually exists, moment 
to moment, along with your own lives.  This is your true home, these vast 
starry realms.  They are your true future.  You will come to know them, 
intimately.  This is another one of those teasing proportions we invite you 
to enjoy.

And yet here we are moment to moment feeling ourselves living, all the past 
and all the future encompassed and tipping on our next breath.  Can you feel 
this actuality, this completeness—now?  For every moment not only leads to 
the next, but is a fulfillment of all that has ever been.  And it is yours.

(Stillness—the ongoing discoveries)

Indeed this present moment is in motion, especially for your order of living 
being.  Yet you can rest right in this motion.  This is not an exercise of 
imagination, my children.  Stillness is not something you have to pretend 
exists.  Rather it is letting go even that most subtle activity in 
discovery.  This is the closest you can come to being aware of yourself as a 
pure time-and-space transcended personality.  You are the eye that sees, but 
cannot see itself.  You are this kernel of experiential being, this 
God-created focus upon which is built an eternal soul—the story, the 
summation, by a fragment of God himself, of your unique experience.

Don’t be discouraged, my children, when you discover this stillness is 
still, at your stage of development, so very relative, along with everything 
else.  You cannot yet know either your physical, or mental, or spiritual 
dimensions in anything approaching a pure state, as if they were isolated 
from each other.  But this is due to the power of your personality, whose 
main function is to unite all these disparate elements of such a complex 
being.  The very unity of the life you experience is itself a spiritual 
triumph.  It puts everything in a living context so that everything 
eventually, ultimately, does make sense, even those seemingly senseless or 
meaningless events--so-called—you must grapple with, and try to understand.

But your ability to experience stillness, to experience--when all else is 
relaxed and allowed to fall away--there is still something there: this is 
you.  This in itself is an ability you must slowly and patiently learn by 
trial and error.  For it is an article of faith that in this one endeavor 
there is no failure so long as there is a heart-felt attempt.  So long as 
your try your best to achieve this stillness, as it appeals to you, and as 
you perceive it each particular time—for it too is an evolution—this attempt 
is spirit.

Think of how radical this is compared to any other human activity, and how 
it necessarily transcends an innate animal fear of doing nothing—so 
consciously; which is why it is a spiritual exercise, this attempt to simply 
relax any and all activities as they arise spontaneously.  Consider how 
difficult, even impossible, this is for some people, how it can bring up an 
insurmountable terror of ceasing to exist.  These are those folks who are 
precariously committed to hanging on to every desperate thought they fill 
their minds with in order to maintain even the thinnest sense of self-value 
and -justification.  There are even those who can no longer hold on and are 
swept away in a terrifying deluge of hallucinations, and are truly suffering 
with various psychoses.  For them there is no stopping, no pause, no peace.

(Stillness and freedom)

And so you can see how the achievement of stillness must be developed to 
where you have some choice, some way of relaxing right in the midst of the 
most demanding situation.  Think what enormous freedom, what genuine 
spiritual creativity this gives you.  This is the way you can take a break, 
refresh yourself in your actuality, your real existence, and then start 
afresh—not only from the blissful unconsciousness of sleep, but in the 
highest consciousness where you can connect with Mother Spirit and myself, 
and with the fragment of God that indwells your being.

Last week Mother Spirit introduced certain notions, certain concepts to help 
you understand the nature of evil actions, for it is our contention, our 
sure knowledge that evil is inherently different from goodness, and is only 
a transient reality born of a twisted mind that willfully embraces it.  Also 
there was some question last week after the events at Virginia Tech as to 
whether, on balance, it was good to show the videos that the killer himself 
made.  I can only ask you to see from our viewpoint how this was beneficial, 
in spite of the pain it may have cost some people.  It is necessary for you 
to confront the reality of how such a person thinks, and sees himself and 
the world around him.

(The universal need to feel justified)

Here you are face to face with the universal need of every individual to see 
himself or herself, if at all possible, as sane, as living a meaningful and 
justified life—however distorted or spitefully painful that meaning is.  
Here you can get some idea of what sense this individual made of things, and 
perhaps from that, understand how this came about.  For there is a distinct 
difference between a psychopath, who remains fully functional, and a 
psychotic, who cannot.  You even have a useful term of social-pathology, or 
a sociopath, to designate those who single-mindedly, and with great 
intelligence and planing over quite a period of time, carry out such 
horrific anti-social acts.

We applaud how quickly within your mass media you did regain some composure 
and sought to know the true psychological causes for such an event, how you 
struggled to make sense of what at first seemed so senseless.  You are 
striving to be open-minded as to the causes and the possible ways of 
preventing such occurrences in the future.


This is quite a challenge, for each individual’s inner need for meaning and 
sense require such self-justification, I’m sure you can feel the main 
difference here is that most of you, very early in life, accepted the 
necessity of conforming yourself, by admitting within yourself, the 
viewpoints, and feelings, and attitudes of others.  You accepted the pain of 
rejection involved when your advances were rebuffed, or you failed to get 
any advances from others—all the way back in the sandboxes of childhood.

(Evil from the inside-out)

Yet for some excessively shy and inwardly fragile individuals, this risk of 
failure is not acceptable.  On deep and unconscious levels very early on 
they are determined not to so engage their fellows, and thereby miss all the 
social skills that come of this trial and error.  They end up justifying 
themselves as having the true integrity, for to them this social intercourse 
is a compromise of weaklings they are not willing to make.  They see 
themselves having the strength to be alone, and can only regard with a 
growing contempt and disdain what they consider to be weak people who need 
each other.  Deprived of the feedback from dozens upon dozens of other 
viewpoints, all this wealth of individuality you have to offer each other, 
they become arrested and locked up in their own world, meeting the 
fundamental demand for growth by cultivating excessive self-pride and 
self-flattering cynicism and narcissism.  They end up masking their real 
insecurity by denying their most essential nature—that of being an 
experiential being—by refusing broader experience and genuine growth.

Sometimes such individuals willfully and consciously embrace notions of evil 
actions just for the thrill and self-satisfaction of it.  Others indulge a 
bottomless hatred and anger toward the more socially successful individuals 
around them.

I only go into this, my children, to show you what is needed to contact such 
a person who had spent years in this kind of mentality, who willfully 
rejects as weakness or compromise your overtures of friendship.  You can 
only appreciate the challenge—as they would see it--of having their whole 
world collapse by acknowledging how many years were wasted ducking this 
larger social reality.  If you apply this challenge to your own life, it 
would be like admitting that from very early childhood on so much was a 
horrible mistake, a tragic and stubborn, stunted nowhere-ness.  But this is 
empathy, my children, this is appreciation for the lives some folks live, 
and why they are so terribly dangerous.

(The blessings of peace of mind)

I thank you for opening your hearts and your minds, to feel and try your 
best to understand what I had to offer this evening.  You can feel truly 
blessed if you can touch upon what is meant by peace of mind, for indeed, 
what a triumph of spirit this is.  If you have any questions of comments, 
let us welcome them.

TO BE CONTINUED.  Once again, dear folks, my apologies for running out of 
time: there’s another whole hour of questions and answers to transcribe.  
But I did want to get out Michael’s, as well as Nebadonia’s, response to the 
events at Virginia Tech.  I’ll be away for a few weeks but should have the 
rest of this evening’s lesson, as well as Mother Spirit’s of 4.16.07, when I 
get back.  Take care, JL
