Meditation:

T/R: Dear Michael and Mother Spirit.   Welcome.  Welcome dear  
parents.  Welcome unimaginable spiritual beings of unimaginable power  
and unimaginable scope unimaginable experience with hundreds and  
billions of years now, spread out over how many cubits of light-years  
of space and how many millions of worlds.   We honor you because with  
all that you are, so totally beyond our imagination, still - still and  
all here you are - right beside us, right inside us with the most  
intimate connection of all right there with ourselves.   So thank you  
dear Father, dear Father of us all, Dear God for creating such  
children of yours - to be such parents of ours.   We are truly humbled  
with this unimaginableness. (chuckle)  We take great comfort in that  
too, great comfort and joy that we have such touch available to us.    
Amen.

MICHAEL:  Good evening my children this is Michael. (chuckle)   I  
appreciate your introduction and we, Mother Spirit and I are delighted  
to be unimaginable.  Definitely gives you something to look forward to  
meeting us, as it were, face to face some day   For also my children,  
for your growth the kinds of beings you will be then is also  
unimaginable to you now.   You have our assurance we will be there and  
it is your choice and it is within your power of choosing, to be with  
us there someday.    We like to say because it is true.   Eternal life  
is not forced upon anyone.   This is your choice.  This is your choice  
to embrace to continue to grow into something that is truly  
unfathomable at each stage.   Except after you have traversed a few  
stages.   You have come up from being babies and children and  
adolescents, looking back on grade school and high school and college  
and university for some of you.   You have come through many stages  
already and so you already have this rich experience within you.   It  
is your sole possession    of just   how unfathomable those stages to  
come always are.   This is one small token of God's infinity that he  
set up life, human life this way.    Infinite imagination if you will  
to conceive of human life that Mother Spirit and I and other sons and  
daughters of the trinity involved in.     And yes, you most definitely  
can trust this then with such an architect with such a   creator of  
just human life and how that is so unique for every single one of  
you.   Still the parameters of that just that ungrasbleness that  
unfathomableness of human life was by design.

You were created in a sense with these limitations with this very  
finiteness to give you that choice.  Somewhere to go, somewhere to  
grow, always.    So you find yourself suspended like in mid-air in a  
way.    I like to think one of those surreal paintings where you have  
a fountain right out of the middle of the air bursting forth.    That  
is God!   That is Michael, Mother Spirit and Myself.   That is you.     
That is your personality.   This comes from the bursting forth from  
some unfathomable reservoir of life itself.   Bursting into time and  
space with this body, this mind and this spirit you have.  So in a way  
you are suspended.   There is infinity in every direction.   There is  
no bottom, no sides, no top to anything.   Even your own bodies.  You  
eat an apple and it not only is delicious and filling  - there is that  
energy.    Though you know that 99.9% of all those little steps there  
is that last little piece you have yet to learn even about your own  
bodies.   That is just in general in all the libraries of the world.    
For each one of you that seemingly finite body of yours: using an ear  
to listen to me now.   That too is infinity to your personality.    
Then the mind.   All the meaning of your life for you and those you  
love  - another infinity.   Where does the next idea come from?   If  
you have some training, some discipline you can decide, "well for the  
next half hour I am going to think such and such of a subject".   But  
where does the next idea come from?    So you see my children, even  
though you are surrounded by infinities and you are suspended as it  
were, each moment kind of bursting into time and space as this God  
created unique being.   You are a center.   You are the center of your  
universe and it pivots around you.

There is that coming out of you.   Out of your own creativity unique  
to you.    Most of this you call imagination.  All of you as children  
had to deal with this.   The fact that there was so much in your  
universe and wasn't in any one else's.  You had to make some difficult  
explain these things that were in you.   Little bit by little bit you  
had to learn how to communicate with all of them out there.   So, a  
lot of this is just coming out of you.   It is your own creativity.    
As you go out into time and space there is some penetration there.    
There is some seeking involved.    There might even seem to be a curse  
from time to time.   "Can't I just kick back and forget about seeking  
for truth and beauty and goodness?   Why am I driven this way?  What  
is this thing of curiosity that won't let me rest?"   Least not when  
you are young.

Then as you kind of find yourself suspended in all of these infinities  
in this own world, you discover that the world is moving toward you.    
You are in motion in the middle of a universe that is not only you -  
and here it comes - moment by moment.   It is all in motion and it is  
all coming towards you - events to handle.   Even your own body, your  
own mind, is not, shall we say, totally under your control.    
Accidents happen.   Things happen here in time and space and so you  
are not only out there penetrating, seeking - You are handling that  
which is simply coming at you.   This is all by design.   During some  
of the sessions here recently a question came about how the here and  
now this dynamic living of the here and now is taking care of  
itself.   There was a little discussion on the fact that the here and  
now is not actually an "it".    It is personal.   First of all - it is  
you.   You have all this dynamic life in and part of you.   You are  
part of it.   But as through this whole human situation, this is not  
an "it" my children, this is a design of God's and of Mother Spirit's  
and of mine.  In a way we are responsible.     In a way our Father is  
responsible.  There is no other single being.  For no other single  
being can respond, has this ability to respond to the whole  
creation.   But you also have this ability, this response ability.    
You can grow this ability to respond to others like you.   So the here  
and now is not an "it".   It is you!   It is all the other personal  
beings in existence.   The heads of the galaxies, the heads of the  
local universes, your own system.   Your own world leaders right down  
to the members of your family.   All this enormous interaction is the  
only explanation for reality.   Because you, in your life, at the  
center of your universe.   The way you relate this ability to respond  
and to get some response from all that out there.   This is the Big  
Game, the Big Plan, this is the Design.   And if you ask why or you  
wonder why?  The shortest answer is something called Soul.    It is  
something that comes into existence -unique to you my children, unique  
to every single one of you and every personality in existence  
experiencing their universe centered on them.   In conjunction with  
something that is absolutely singular, universal, absolute and infinite.

In human being we call this the Thought Adjuster.   A presence of God  
that can literally suggest thoughts and can adjust your thoughts to be  
more spiritual, more all inclusive of everything in your universe.    
The co-authored by God himself, this presence of God within you.    
This is what soul is.   Soul is every experience of every personal  
being.    Even Mother Spirit and I, we have what is analogous to a  
human soul.   We have our experiences.   So my children as you sit  
here listening to me tonight, as you experience my voice, as you  
experience yourselves this is the purpose.    This is the  
fulfillment.   Moment by moment.   Each moment sits upon all that came  
before it.    And this too is another infinite dimension.   You call  
it history.   That which really happened.   Another infinity to  
explore to give meaning to now.    So rejoice and be exceedingly glad  
that all of this that you are.   All these infinities that you swim  
through every day, all this curiosity and the courage to follow where  
it tickles your fancy.    All these hundreds of positive qualities you  
can list in existence. It is all part of the design.   All part of  
the, again, (chuckle) infinite - infinite potential that waits every  
single moment to become actual.   With the fact that in your life, in  
my life, there is that presence of God and his purpose is you and is  
me.   He lives in us.   That is why we call the Thought Adjuster a  
Mystery Monitor if you will.    You can think of it as the mechanism  
by which God experiences us and experiences his design.   So yes, this  
is where our ultimate trust, our ultimate faith, resides.   In all  
these infinities surrounding us so there is no end to Him, nor end to  
any single one of us either - if we so choose.   That is our power.    
That is our power, our glory, and our most thankful worship.    We are  
always more than we can ever begin to grasp and in that we are most  
like Him.   Thank you dear Father for creating me the kind of being I  
am.   And thank you for creating each of our children with this  
ability to marvel at all they are, so much more than they can even  
grasp.   But they can feel comfortable and at home in that very  
reality and very design of yours.

Now my children if you have any questions or comments this evening  
bring them forth:

Q #1: Michael, I've had a question that has been around my head for  
years and years.  I am very curious about the twelve specialized  
senses we have   as Urantians   as opposed to the seventy will have in  
Mansonia.   Can you help me out with that?

MICHAEL:      Yes my son.    I'm not sure exactly what you consider it  
to be the ones you already have   as I just got through saying there  
is more to you than your momentary consciousness can take in.     
Partly you are restricted now by this mind-body that gives you  
consciousness.   So when you acquire a much more subtle, shall we say,  
pattern being, something very analogous to the body you have now only  
so much more -not only spiritually sensitive, but sensitive    to even  
greater range - the electro-magnetic spectrum, to emotions, in other  
words when your whole physical and mental capacities are extremely  
expanded.   You could call these extra dimensions.   We delight that  
you've evolved your science fiction to the degree with all your  
stories, then your T.V., movies and such that you can think of now as  
extra dimensions.  It is so hard to explain these to you.   It is like  
explaining color to a person born blind.    We can only do so by  
analogy.   Mother Spirit and I have already mentioned that as you  
begin to encounter ever more powerful spiritual beings, each order of  
personal being exists in a slightly different universe of their  
own.     As you come to meet Seraphim, perhaps other beings on the  
Mansion Worlds.   First of all to be able to perceive them, to be able  
to communicate with them, you will be enormously expanded.  Then if  
you get to know them, get to know their way of seeing the universe,  
what their lives, their personal lives are like.     These are extra  
dimensions that you will take on.   You will be able to perceive and  
understand your mind; your comprehension will be enormously expanded  
just as it is, hopefully, all through your human life.   There are  
dozens and dozens of physical, shall we say matter-energy, dimensions  
that you have yet to encounter.   Your body - they are going right  
through you just like your own radio or T.V. waves.   They are going  
right through you now.   They are real, but you don't have yet the  
mechanism to pick them up.    So, through all of these you will keep  
growing and make a part of your life.   A part of your understanding.   
Essentially, as one of your wise men put it, there is no limit to  
dimensions.   That is why I tease you tonight with being this fountain  
out in the middle of the air, (chuckle) surrounded and suspended by  
infinity in every possible way you can think of.   You just get more  
of them.  Does that make sense to you?

Q:  Yes that does.  I was more concerned with the Urantia Book's  
discussion of the physical senses as we think of sight, hearing,  
taste.   In the kinesthetic sense maybe we could come up with the six  
or seventh senses.    I was curious about the twelve.     I always  
wondered what they might be.    I'm certainly looking forward to the  
many expanded senses as we progress.   I was sort of hung up here in  
the mortal sphere   of    the question.

MICHAEL:   That is why I can just kind of tease you (chuckle) with so  
many many more to come.   You encounter them.   That was my whole  
lesson tonight.   This is the fact that it is endless.   There is no  
limit to how much you can expand.   What is your comprehension, what  
is your understanding can encompass.   And that is what makes it all  
worthwhile.   As Mother Spirit as said a number of times, " It would  
be hell otherwise".   You aren't stuck on any kind of little rabbit  
wheel or hamster wheel.   Or stuck on a little rabbit path going  
around and around.   Even if you are in this first human life of  
yours.   You get transformed whether you like it or not here it  
comes.   It is part of that enormous reality that is constantly  
approaching you and, requiring that you handle it.   But, you are  
given the tools and you are given the perceptions and the ability to  
understand.   Was there anything further along those lines?

Q:   No, I guess that will do.    Thank you.

MICHAEL:   Be in my Peace.

Q #2: Michael, I have a question.

MICHAEL:  Certainly

Q#2: Recently while in meditation, the thought occurred to me that  
since reality really happens when we ask for it - and that is when the  
magic happens - and that no one  is allowed to interfere with that  
process (i.e., free will).    The thought occurred to me that since my  
Adjuster is here to share my personality in part and eventually I will  
share in his divinity, I was wondering if it would be possible, or  
even fruitful, to petition my Adjuster, or even give him permission to  
briefly share my personality, and perhaps I could even share the  
divinity - a sort of a bump maybe to get back on track a little  
better.    I know you can't see God without being consumed, so I am  
talking about anything short of a near death experience. But, is this  
possible or is he already working at the best level that I can  
function at?

MICHAEL:  I think you put your finger on it at the very end there my  
son.   Again, the presence of God within you is an individualized  
presence and is also sharing your life, gaining your experience.   One  
of the best ways of tuning into this power is to tune into your own  
soul.  .. (Interruption)  . You mentioned before my son, your own  
soul, because it has a co-author as it is, it is not only just your  
memories it is this gigantic reality of things far far beyond your  
conscious memory that you can just bring up    This orientation, in  
your meditation, of welcoming everything of your Thought Adjuster  -  
it is actually part of you - this divine part of you.     By opening  
yourself to anything and giving it permission is the best you can  
do.   And, to be determined to deepen your meditation, to respect this  
time you set aside - to really open yourself to and say, "bring  
whatever",   "what do I do next?".    It can be that simple.   But  
also spend some time just welcoming your Adjuster to bring up moments  
of your soul.     This is your assurance, this is your proof if you  
will, in a human way, of not only of your own existence of some other  
time in your life, but his presence in your life.      And though you  
only may be able to touch on these for only a few moments that too can  
seem like some infinity.   All that life, all that life you have lived  
is still there in this strange, strange, almost amazing beyond belief  
what the soul is -what your soul is.    So let your Thought Adjuster  
enjoy this with you again, this product the two of you are creating.    
And that I think will give you about all the bump you can handle.    
Let it blow your mind as you say.   Let it amaze you that in reverie,  
far beyond any kind of details you can imagine, your soul can   come  
forth and present you with that living experience when you were twelve  
years old or maybe eighteen or whatever.   Let yourself be amazed that  
there is this cosmic reality, this absolute reality for you.     And  
yet it is so enormous beyond, we shall say your voluntary recall.    
Let yourself be thrilled by your own soul my son.  Your Thought  
Adjuster will be right there with you.    Never forget this is part of  
you.   A gift of God to you.   Does that help?

Q#2: Yes, thank you for your counsel Michael.

MICHAEL:   Be at my Peace my Son.   They say that is the purpose of  
this life of yours.   This unique experience you are having.   So  
addressing your Thought Adjuster don't think of it as some total alien  
entity.   The two of you are most intimate.   The most difficult thing  
at addressing your Thought Adjuster as a separate entity, shall I say,  
to hear a voice in your own mind, is the fact that it is part of you  
and it has always been there.

Are there any more questions or comments?

Contributor:   Hello Michael.   This is ...   I just wanted to  
contribute a little bit to just that previous bit discussing the  
Thought Adjuster and the memory of the soul.   Recently I had a unique  
experience in a stillness session where I was receiving advice.   I  
was petitioning regarding how I could better deal with some of my  
mortal shortcomings and tools to help me out.        Then I got an  
image of a childhood memory that I had not thought of in a long  
time.   This image was of my father basically teaching me how to ride  
a two-wheel bike.  It was a very early age and it flashbacked to me as  
clear as day.  What was unique about it, from what I understood, from  
my Thought Adjuster, was the symbolism of the father - the father  
fragment working within us and how exactly this process works.   It  
was sort of likened to taking the training wheels off of the bike.     
The Father does much during our mortal life to lead us along to try to  
teach us, to try to aid us through this conflict of serving two  
masters.   One being the mortal animal self and how to rise up and  
become spiritually mature and evoke that budding Morontia character.    
It was very touching for me because the father would hold the handle  
of the bike and running along side the bike eventually letting go.     
In my experience as a child I didn't realize my father had let go,  
until I realized I was riding the bike myself.   The next step, which  
really came forth in my mind, was now that the son knows how to ride  
the bike, the father grabs his bike and the son and the father ride  
the block together.   And they eventually ride new paths together.   I  
just wanted to share that because the Questioner #2 put forth and the  
answer that came from it very well resonated with that imagery with  
that.   I was in tears when I received this imagery because it was  
such a touching experience with my own mortal father and I had this  
dual perspective of the mortal and the divine pattern from which that  
came from.    I just wanted to share that and throw that in there.

MICHEAL:   Thank you..   There is no hard and fast line between what  
you might call memory, which is, shall we say, the purely the  
electrons bouncing around your brain cells and soul, which is extra- 
dimensional which your beloved Urantia Book calls it.  You are all  
super minded in that sense.   You are all touching upon all these  
dimensions we talked about this evening.   In that sense your Thought  
Adjuster being so much a part of you.  A lot of the fullness of your  
memory is spiritual.   You may not have thought of this quite this far  
before.     Sometimes your memory can be no more than 'I met so and so  
at such and such a place at three in the afternoon' - just that basic  
outline that you have control over and if pushed to it can recall a  
number of events, this is pretty much brain activity - just pure  
memory.    But then the fullness, if you allow yourself, if you take  
the time, a lot of times it happens in reverie or by association, but  
if you have time for it in your busy lives.    All this fullness all  
of a sudden just swells forth.   So many of you think of this 'well  
that was just a good memory'.   That is actually your soul.   That is  
the stuff, the substance that fills up the framework.   That is your  
Thought Adjuster.   It is the combination of what the two of you have  
created together.   Other times, when you are really stumped for 'what  
do I do next?"    You are in the middle of a problem or sometimes just  
some delightful exercise.    Every now and then you can recognize a  
pure Thought Adjuster input.   It comes right out of the blue.    It  
is startling in the way it comprehends so many different facets of  
what is happening.   You can be sure, 'is that my Thought Adjuster?'  
or just my own highest spiritual creativity?   There is no fast line  
there either.  Right from your own individual spiritual power of  
creativity.    That merges seamlessly into the Father's presence  
within you.    You can't say exactly, always, 'well that was my  
Thought Adjuster coming out like a bolt of the blue'.     Because your  
Thought Adjuster is so much a part of you - a part of your thinking -  
that adjusting your thinking towards that beautiful symbolism of the  
father and the son.   How the father at a certain moment lets go, lets  
his son be his son and ride his own bicycle.    All that meaning, all  
that significance as I have mentioned.   Your own soul is your own  
best proof of the existence of God within you.    That is definitely a  
joyful bump indeed.    So, thank you for your example.     It was  
delightful.

Commenter:   Thank you for your response.

MICHEAL:   Be at my peace.

             Was anyone else's curiosity stirring around?  Anybody  
else care to speak out of their own infinity?     Just think how in  
expressing you are just making one more little speck of your enormous  
potential.   Making it actual with a constant movement of a thousand  
and one possibilities we like to say swarming around every single  
actuality.   Yet, that one thing, that universe, that single reality  
of our Father's coming down, clarifying, actualizing, moment-by- 
moment.   All right then my children let me sign off, as you say 'it  
is getting late'.   You have to get onto your own bicycles to ride.    
And if you want to glance over you will see me riding right along  
beside you and just being tickled to death - tickled beyond death  
actually, tickled in a very undying kind of way, you and I.   Here,  
right along with us, Mother Spirit, augmenting your courage to pick  
yourself up after a big crash, and they do happen, pick yourself back  
up and get back on that bike and ride again.    Even if you park your  
bike and go over and sit on a park bench and relax a moment here comes  
the trees, here comes the sky, here comes a breeze, here comes some  
other ones along on the bike path.   Here is the universe of your own  
and its own coming towards you - Forever!

That is what you are involved in.   Tonight I just hoped to give you  
some deeper trust and faith in who designed it all.   Even if stubbed  
toes or even terrible pain, loneliness, cruelty, all the mean aspects  
of life.   Have some inner confidence, some real trust and faith in  
the creator.   All this possibility all this potential that there is  
no end to.   Yet this is home, this is your home.   It was designed to  
be home.    So - keep bursting forth out of nothing - out of your own  
unfathomable essence my children.    Keep blooming keep shining.   
(Interruption)..

This is Michael again.  Signing off.  Thank you for your attention.   
Thank you for this wonderful stillness I feel that we have created.    
Again if I can leave you with one final note.  Its do not think of  
your Thought Adjuster as some kind of an alien or terribly different  
kind of being.    Not from the standpoint of your personality also  
created by God.   You are very much alike.   You compliment each  
other.   Together you fulfill the purpose for all of this.  You can  
think of the Supreme Being as that facet of God that created all of  
this just for the experience of all of you and all of us that only he  
knows totally.   Then, within each one of you to fulfill you.   This  
is what we call worship - this thankfulness, this delight - just that  
we are.   So Good Evening.   I have enjoyed this very much.   Continue  
to be in my peace.   Let it fulfill you and delight you.   Let it  
tease you forth.    Good Bye.
