Spirit on April 21, 2016.


Michael & Mother Spirit—T/R-JL


(Personality
uniqueness)


(All
the people you have known)


(The
200%-ness of life—self and soul)


(Comfort
for the loss of someone dear)


(Your
soul is in God’s hands)


(Living
with, and realizing no limits)


 


Dear
Michael and Mother Spirit; and then--both through you and very directly--Dear


Heavenly
Father, our Universal Father: thank you. Thank you for me. Thank you for


this
life I have. Thank you for this human life I have with all these abilities and


potentials
that I can explore, develop, and call my own--right as I put them to use in 


this Eternal
Now that you have taught us in our home. Thank you so much. 


 


Thank
you for my ability to experience. Thank you even for your lessons on how we 


sometimes
try to avoid or eliminate experience through bad habits, saying, “OK, I’ve 


had
enough—I don’t want any more!”


 


Thank
you for reminding us of the eternity of experience that is potentially ours if
we so 


choose
it—and all the freedom that implies. It’s a wonderful spiritual quality of
humility 


to
stay open and in touch with such an enormity. We can feel so tiny in the face
of it 


all--both
in space and time--yet we can be thankful for our very ability to feel just how



enormous
it all is, and all that awaits us each moment. 


 


Thank
you for our ability to forget ourselves--forget all that we are and have been
in 


order
to tune in to this other human being who is keeping us company. So thank you 


for
this company, for all of us, this whole world of us. Thank you for your Urantia
Book 


and
its promises of all the celestial beings to come, and our potential to befriend
them 


too.


 


So
thank you for all of us, dear parents, that we can open our minds and our 


hearts
to you. We can be empty unto ourselves and let you fill us. For in our very
ability 


to
feel our uniqueness—that there is no other quite like us--this could lead to an



absolute,
fundamental loneliness. Yet we can feel this uniqueness and, at the same


time,
see it and then appreciate it in all those we meet. So for all of this, dear
parents, 


we do thank
you. Amen.


 


Michael:
Good evening. This is Michael and Mother Spirit, and we wish to return your 


happy invitation
for another evening, another precious time to spend together. We too 


can thank
our Father simply that we are!--both Mother Spirit and I. We have our lives 


and we
too are unique by his hand. This is the signature of his hand, this uniqueness
of


every
personal being throughout the universe and beyond. This is the very universal


quality
of the universe--all these personal beings that your Urantia Book introduces


you
to, and you can look forward to meeting someday. It is the universal uniqueness


that
ties us all together. It is what we all share--the signature of our being,
coming 


right from
God.


 


(Personality
uniqueness)


 


True,
it can be very lonely, but then this loneliness is nothing to be afraid of. Explore
it 


as
well. Be not be afraid of this overwhelming feeling that comes over you because
in 


one
way, yes, you are alone--alone with only us and our Father for company. And yet



when
this is fully accepted, this experience of just being who you are, right from
the 


hand
of God, this feeling of personality is like a floor you can bounce back from.
For as 


you
open your eyes and ears, and heart, you can have that marvelous, marvelous 


experience
of another person, another unique being. Then, oh my goodness!--this can 


be yet
another transformation. 


 


We
call it realizing the two-hundred-percent-ness of life, for not only are you alone
in 


your
God-given personality uniqueness, there’s so much of your past experience and 


soul
that is equally unique and inexpressible, just in the limits of language and 


talking
together. Can you recognize this in another? “Eyes seeking the response of 


eyes bring
out everything,” as your wonderful poet once said. It’s the quality of 


recognition,
that here is another unique being right from God with all these enormous 


and unfathomable
dimensions within them too. It can be an inexpressible, ungraspable 


humility
in the face of so much, just in another person, one other person, let alone 


when
you get together in groups.


 


It is
this quality, this quality of humility and thankfulness, upon which a true
democracy


can be
based and thrive. This is what it takes, this acknowledgement, this recognition


of
what another human being is, that, in a sense, purposely drives you to find a
way of


accommodating
everyone. It’s opening yourself to wonder, deeply wonder, what kind of


society
can you create with all its political ramifications of how you get along
together 


and
choose your leaders; how you invite and follow each other, and share your lives



together.
This is the true democracy of equal souls, this recognition of the “little 


walking
infinities”--as we call you, and remind you what you are.


 


(All
the people you have known)


 


So
welcome this experience, my dear ones. Be not afraid in your meditations to
feel 


your
life and how unique it has been. Think of your parents. Think of your brothers
and 


sisters.
Think of your school mates and all the kids you played with. There’s all the 


people
you have known through your television and movies. Think of all these people 


who
are now in your soul. They are a unique bunch are they not?--unique to you
alone. 


No one
else has quite this same soul of experience that you have, and yet they have 


their
own.


 


So in your
meditations let this all come forth. Be not afraid to feel this impenetrable,


bottomless
depth of your own soul, your own experience and all that you have


known.
This is you, and you share it with our Father, the co-author of your soul who
is 


holding
sacrosanct all that you have been as a gift to you. Tune into it. Be unafraid
to 


really
feel who you are. Then, oh my goodness!—here comes another one like you for 


they
have this same boundless soul within them too, whether they know it or not, 


whether
they too meditate and experience it in its pure form. They too might be full of



fear
to feel how alone they are in being unique. Yet they too have their whole past 


experience
of all that folks they have known.


 


(The
200%-ness of life—self and soul)


 


This
is that two-hundred-percent-ness of life. There’s the totality, the 100% of all
that 


you
are, alone, unique among all other personal beings. Yet you have a soul of all
the


others
you have known, and all you have experienced with them. This recognition is not



only why,
but this is also how we thank our Father for putting us in such a situation. 


Truly it
leads to the greatest humility--so ungraspable in a way--because both it and we



are alive
and in motion. It is all changing except what is truly past, what really 


happened,
what is truly available because God himself is holding it sacrosanct for us. 


 


And so
we thank our Father for these souls of ours, for holding all that really
happened 


to us,
and with us, and all around us. We say thank you, dear Father. Thank you for 


me. Thank
you for my life, and thank you for all of these others that I have known. 


Thank
you for them. Now if you have any questions or comments about this, or 


anything
else that tickles your imagination, and your wonder, and your soul, I invite
you 


to
come forth.


 


Student:
Thank you, Michael. Thank you so much for the reality check. I have a


curiosity
question for Mother Spirit. My friend Adam just lost his wife of twenty-one 


years,
and my curiosity question is about comfort for him.


 


Mother
Spirit: Yes, my dear, this is Mother Spirit. Are you asking how to comfort 


another?


 


Student:
My friend I have with me here tonight—Adam; his wife of twenty-one


years
graduated suddenly. I was just wondering if you could give him some comfort on


the
whole deal of graduation. Does that make sense?


 


(Comfort
for the loss of someone dear)


 


Mother
Spirit: Oh yes, my dear. That brings it into focus. Certainly. This is very
much


a matter
that brings us right back to what Michael talked about this evening. It brings


you
right back to you might say is the nitty-gritty of your own beliefs of just
what life is.


It
includes what happens to each one of you when this very first phase of it
passes. I 


can
only assure you that all of the really fundamental reality that the Urantia Book



presents
you with in such detail of so many of the next phases of your eternal life--are



true.
I always invite you to re-read those chapters on morontia life and let that
detail 


assuage
any fear you may have. Let the words fill you with what God has ordained and 


provided
for each one of you to continue. 


 


When
you have the loss of someone so dear to you, it is like half of your being has 


resided
in this other person for the very ability that Michael talked about, the 


ability
to love and share your life with another. For this loss I invite you to take
the 


time,
as you have loved this person and shared so much with them, take the 


time
to honor them. Deeply meditate to let come forth and open yourself to all that
you 


have
shared, all that you have known with them. Open yourself to your own soul of 


experience
with them. 


 


Sometimes
this can be very painful at first because it causes you to miss them all the 


more.
But I am inviting you to celebrate your life together and be joyful. Thank God 


that,
as Michael talked about this evening, each of you is like no other. Think of
how


deep
this ‘no-otherness’, this uniqueness went, and how deep you were able to 


explore
it with each other. So with the two of you, your relationship of loving company



that
you gave each other was also unique and full. Be joyful for that.


 


(Your
soul is in God’s hands)


 


For
that promises an eternity to come. God himself is holding this relationship of
yours


sacrosanct
for you; and in that, his promise has no limit in terms of time, no limit to
the


time
you two will once again spend together, subject only to your wills and
desire--the 


same
thing that has kept you two together all of these years. It is that love, that 


connection,
that divine attribute of sharing your life with another that has no limit.


 


So be
unafraid to let moments in the past come forth and remind you of this most


precious
ability of sharing your life with another person. Let this comfort you, both in


all
that you have already known, and all that you hold in promise from God himself.



Now do
my words ring true?


 


Next
Student: Thanks very much, that helped--and the lesson before, even the words 


you said
afterwards. It all rings true. It is how I have to use it in my daily life.


 


Mother
Spirit: Well, my son, that for certain, for the very fact that you did share so


much
of your life with someone else. It is like suddenly losing a part of you, because


you
did. The more you shared with someone who was very much a part of you, the 


more
you were definitely a part of them. It takes a while to get used to the fact
they 


are
physically not here. But all that they were, and still are to you, is there
within 


you.
And so be unafraid to visit there, and be so thankful that you had this to
share.


 


Student:
Thank you very much.


 


Mother
Spirit: You are welcome, my son. Be in my love; and Michael sends you his


peace.


 


Student:
Thank you.


 


Michael:
Are there any more questions or comments this evening?


 


Student
#1: No, I just wanted to thank Father and Mother, and thank you Jerry for 


your
service of tr-ing, and getting it transcribed and down on paper. It is a great 


service.


 


(Living
with, and realizing no limits)


 


Michael:
This is Michael and Mother Spirit--the two of us. Thank you so much for your


faith,
for your attention, and for giving us reality right within yourselves, for this
is your 


choice.
Spiritual beings--true spiritual beings--do not in any way force themselves
upon


you.
You live within the parameters that God himself establishes for human beings,


but
those parameters are so elastic and so faithful to your free-will and your
choices.


This
is your human reality, and it is infinite from the inside out, your own
experience of


it.
There is no limit to what you can experience, and what you can know, and what
you


can
understand; what you can share with each other. 


This
is that two-hundred-percent-ness of your own personal life. And then this 


relationship
that you can establish and know with another is where one and one makes 


three.
Two unique spiritual beings such as yourselves get together and this living, 


dynamic
relationship that you share is fully known only to the two of you and God.


 


So, my
dear ones, our blessings upon you. Open your hearts to feel them. Open your


will
to get behind all these abilities you have. Keep developing, keep growing. Keep



being
thirsty for more experience; that is God’s promise. He is the one who set it up



this way,
this eternity and this infinity in which you are surrounded, and right within
you 


in these
souls that you are growing.


 


This is
Michael bidding you be in my peace. Reach out for it, accept it, and settle
into it.


And
this is Mother Spirit sending you my love. Good evening.


Students:
Good evening. Thank you very much.
