the base in our spine, three flows of energy that ground us to Mother

activity, the aura to be thick and full, the shield to be perfect.<SPAN

us while we are here, that shields us from any inappropriate wandering energy,
we call for these bubbles to be cleared here and now in the flames of justice
and truth.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>For the white light
cocoon, on all sides, above and below, at its outer periphery, a narrow cocoon
of electric blue, electric gold, pink, yellow and green.<SPAN

of the universe; we are alive and imbued with this energy at all times.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We have no need to seek outside of
ourselves for the energy that is ours, the life force that we need for our work
and our wellbeing is always available to us through our connection to the light,

like a small nail planted in the earth.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>If you were to stand and spread your arms, and in consciousness receive
the healing light of the universe, and see it flowing through you from universe
center to the earth, you would have a definite circuit that you would have
completed for healing with your planet and the universe center.<SPAN

place, visualize yourself being a mobile grounding rod where you receive this
energy and bring it with you wherever you go.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Some weeks ago we spoke about humility being a
fundamental element of personal growth and progress and of service, and how it
was necessary for you to be in humility—not only humble—but to express humility,
for you to grow, for you to be open, to be a fully capable conduit for the
outworking of divine order in your life and for your world.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Connected to that is the consciousness
of receptivity.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Now receptivity
says much about you and your preparation and your humility.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>If you had no humility you would not be
able to receive; you would see yourself as the Source or a source, where you
imprinted your world around you with what you thought it should be.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Receptivity, consciousness of that,
allows you to receive.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And upon
receiving then to broadcast the imprint of the universe divine order, the flow
of the universe, onto your life and onto your world.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Receptivity is openness; receptivity
allows for your oneness between yourself and others, the universe and the
architects of the universe.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Visualize yourself as receiving—receiving and being
receptive to the pattern of the universe; and what is that pattern?<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The pattern’s expression is love
—all-supportive values and beliefs that enable and empower love to exist.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>These are not platitudes to be repeated
over and over again, but to be invested and empowered, and expressed and
demonstrated through you.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>An
appropriate, positive affirmation that you could use is, “I’m a loving
being.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I’m expressing love now. I
am tolerant. I am open.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I am
excepting.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I am patient, loyal, and
faithful.”<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You can review dozens

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">You recall too, that being loving and receptive does
not mean that you are naïve.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is
difficult, I know, for mortals to balance innocence with wisdom, because wisdom
is derived from experience.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Experience is appreciated when you reflect upon the decisions that cause
difficulty in your life, and decisions that caused you benefit and joy and
happiness.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>That is why times of
quiet reflection and contemplation daily are highly useful to your maturation
and the development of wisdom.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We
urge you to always remain innocent in your thinking, for in your innocence you
are open to experience, but in your wisdom you are wise to deflect and reject
decisions, options, choices that would cause you or anyone else difficulty or
pain.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">We wish you to spend time thinking, perhaps
discussing and discerning the levels of innocence and wisdom, and being
naïve.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>“Innocent” is a place of
being—not doing—but of being.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Naïve
is being ignorant, or unaware. Hearing wisdom and not believing it —that is
naïve.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Being naïve is being
foolish, when wisdom speaks otherwise to that degree.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Foolishness and being foolish in this
regard is squandering the wisdom and guidance that is available to you.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Innocence is always open to receive that
which is available.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Innocence is
always discerning, always examining.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Innocence is curious, searching for truths, searching for exploratory
experiences.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Innocence is something
that you will want to carry with you in the duration of your infinite
career.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

Michael, our Creator, or the First Source and Center, the ultimate Creator:<SPAN

wrong doing, even for evil, yet the Creator approaches you, engages you, and
supports you in your life with a degree of innocence that you will never totally
understand until you are embraced by the Creator.<SPAN

has an eternal innocence about Itself?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>It surely does.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Now in the
Creator’s wisdom, through prior experience with working with mortals and
understanding mortals true and full and capable nature, that wisdom has guided
the Creator to provide you with awareness of the good side of the universe.<SPAN

provided immense resources and abundance available to you to use.<SPAN

Creator:<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>If the Creator were not
innocent, the Creator would be cynical, pessimistic about your capacity to
fulfill an infinite career, and in effect, all humanity, all agondonters, all
individuals of eternal potential would not exist.<SPAN

an openness of expression, an openness in your life.<SPAN

style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">We urge you to act and behave and believe as the
Creator believes, and be innocent about yourself, to explore those areas that
you think perhaps you are not capable, those things, those experiences which you
have not had before.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We invite you
to experience your self, to experience your world and yourself, doing and
believing and being many things.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>That is why wise and effective therapists invite you to do what they call
“child play,” to get on the floor and play with marbles and balls and blocks
with other children, to experience yourself among true innocence, children, who
have not the experience to be bitter or cynical or pessimistic, but always
believing, always fantasizing, always building, exploring with their minds and
their hands, and their mouths, in their words, in their beliefs and who they
are.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The innocence of the Creator
has made it possible that you have this mortal lifetime to experience as much of
yourself as you possibly can, during these short, brief years—these
decades.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

new exercises in living, you get to develop new beliefs about yourself.<SPAN

lives of others.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Innocence is not
to be belittled but to be appreciated and upheld, and not endured but to be
encouraged.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Innocence in your
society seems to have little place or little reason for existence, yet dear
friends, you spiritual beings who are searching and seeking, striving to grow,
we urge you to explore your innocence.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Who am I at root in my being?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>The answer is you are a child of the Creator —explore your childhood in
this mortal experience.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Do not grow
old and bitter and cynical, pessimistic, or diminish yourself or your abilities
when you are so capable.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>If you
have physical infirmities, you can still write, think, socialize, and engage
others.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You can be with
others.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You can vicariously learn
innocence and explore it through caretaking of children, participating with

some of you, fear is indigenous and endemic in your thinking.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It has been there so long, and is so
pervasive that you do not even think of it or even see it as being fear.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You think it is wise judgment, wise
opinions to be careful—and that is what you call it—careful.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The opposite to you is being careless,
putting yourself in jeopardy; putting your stability in jeopardy.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Fear is a topic where, if you did your
research in the archives of these notes, you would find many references, and how
detrimental and debilitating fear is.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Lastly, the last topic is related to fear:<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Of the two elements that limit humankind
from magnificence and noble living and thinking is fear and the need to
aggrandize or support their ego, their self-identity.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>In these discussions, we would identify
ego as your respective individual value as you compare yourself to others.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It can be neutral, as well as
over-aggrandized or diminished too much.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Fear is related to the negative sides of ego, fearing that you are not
good enough, fearing that you are too good.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This topic too has been dealt with and
discussed thoroughly by other teachers.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>We urge you to reference these topics, if you are able to.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>If you wish, as we listen in on your
discussion after today’s session, we will be glad to have a more detailed
discussion about fear and ego, the major limitations of humankind’s
greatness.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

these topics or others, which are of interest to you?<SPAN

style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Hearing none, I ask those of you who
have this talent, to see if there is someone who wishes to speak through you to
convey a message.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is the forum
for expressing these capabilities, where you are safe and secure among your
peers, where if you have a teacher or angel or other being of light who wishes
to speak through you, and you are wanting to allow this to occur, this is the
time that this may occur.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Let us
take a few moments to be still, become settled and to discern whether there are
other messages available for us today.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

</SPAN>This is my own question, I am remembering a book by Gerald Jampolsky
called <I>Love Is Letting Go Of Fear</I>.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>When he worked with children, he said—and I’ve lost the words right
now—something about fear related to ego.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Can you go back to that?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

</SPAN>From our references, I would be glad to.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is not a reiteration of the book or
of the writer.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>When you come into
life, the vast majority of you come into life with a temperament of openness and
acceptance, of innocence.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You are
yourself.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And as your environment
affects you, and as your genetic makeup has patterned you, you will develop
reactions to the environment around you.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Those reactions are first “inner” and their expressions are verbal and
behavioral.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Through the treatment
that others give you, you begin to make a belief about yourself—other children,
young adults, and adults—their treatment of you can help pattern your beliefs
about who you are, what you are, and your value.<SPAN

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Now you have also seen some children who have been
treated rather roughly, but who come into life and develop with a sure and
stable and steady sense of self-worth and a picture of health for their
self-image.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is rare, yet, this
is very wonderful. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>For most of you,
your world around you, your social context has helped form who you are, what you
are, and your beliefs about yourself.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>You began to develop your own self-image, who you are, and your
value—simplistically we could call this your ego.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>If you have a diminished and receding
self-image and sense of self-worth, you might become shy, socially withdrawn, a
loner.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>To counterbalance that, you
might become an excellent gymnast or an athlete in competition.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You might become a wonderful student of
music or some craft or trade, where you could strive for excellence using your
abilities that would help you express the greatness of yourself.<SPAN

have become great heroes in sports, medicine, education, religion, philosophy,
and at home.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Fear of ridicule,
chastisement, and punitive treatment by others may hold you back, but not break
you.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Fear of the outdoors, being in
the wilderness, of being in physical contact in competition with others may push
you back so that you explore other areas.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Extremes of fear become fetishes, become neuroses.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Love, on the other hand, enables and
empowers you to explore <B>all</B> that you are inside yourself, in spite of the
treatment of others.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Love of
yourself may be just a little seed.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>You may not like yourself; you may not love yourself —you may feel you
are greatly incapable, and many people have had this…(tape turned)… more, might
hope to arise in the eyes of others, they have striven to move ahead.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Some people have discerned that their
self-worth and the love and appreciation from others derives from their ability
to score well in a sport, to make lots of money, to have much property.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The forms of self-expression to achieve
fulfillment and satisfaction, and some form of self-appreciation or love, takes
hundreds of millions of forms on your planet.<SPAN

style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">The totally fearful individual becomes least capable,
withdrawn, and socially inept.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>That
is why love from others is so powerful —their encouragement to express one’s
good, one’s capability, one’s prowess wherever that might be, so that the
flicker of self-worth, self-esteem, and self-image might grow.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Those of you who have had good models as
parents and siblings, friends, peers, older individuals in your neighborhood or
community, who have provided you with a pattern to follow, you were very
fortunate.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And those of you who
have been around individuals who truly loved you, unconditionally, as you are,
where you are—this is a remarkable thing—it is not to be taken for granted on
such a difficult planet as this.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Fear, ego, love—how many plays have been written about these things?<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>How many stories have been written?<SPAN

heroines have been described through these three facets of humanity? <SPAN

infinite goodness—that you are capable, and that is love.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

</SPAN>When you were talking about fear, sometimes creating great successes in
one area or another because people confine their identity through this focus and
this channel—I think there are two, and maybe more, ways that people move into
that, because I’ve known children who, from the third or forth grade have known
what area they would be working on, they were going to be, how they were going
to express themselves.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>My own two
daughters were like that, and I always knew that I was going to be a
dancer.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I always knew that I was
going to be a musician; I always knew that I was going to teach.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And that’s not so much out of fear, as
it is some instinctual knowledge of their self-expression in the
physical.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

</SPAN>States of being that are free of fear are then able to express
themselves, through you, in your most capable areas.<SPAN

lack of fear, when there is acceptance, when there is love and encouragement,
you can become all that you can be.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

and have chosen to follow that, and you have found fulfillment, happiness,
satisfaction, and challenge—and this is admirable.<SPAN

others to look to and to emulate.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
