<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">I
am MARY, again, greetings. I do understand the valleys and peaks of the mortal
life. I remember an ever-changing perception of my outlook on everyday living.
As a child it seems we start out as free and open spirits. Then pain or
experience in living, teaches us to be cautious and for some it would lead them
to closing up altogether. As any child learns, if you touch the hot coals you
get burned. Certain negative experiences or traumatic events would perhaps make
some individuals a little too cautious, shy or self-conscious. Pain is not
pleasant and escape is understood. There is a tendency for people to escape any
un-pleasantries of life by seeking to escape experience altogether. They are
closed up, not only closed off from the wisdom to be gained, but also from the
living spirit that is available to each and every true
believer.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">I
remember such pain and holding back my natural instinct to act. Having been
reinforced time and time again that I was of lower value, I had not trust in any
of my abilities, therefore I held back, I remained quiet. The insecurity from
ridicule directed my actions as a person. Yes, it controlled me. In this holding
back or closing up, I curtailed one of the many gifts that is ours just by being
set upon such a planet. My intuition or capacity to receive spiritual
information was indeed squelched and most definitely were the spirit poisons
more real to me than spiritual fruits.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">With the coming of the Master’s ministry I began to
realize my rights as having been born mortal and a child of God. Certainly
women, among others, were limited in their freedom to speak their mind or act on
any cause, but with a few lessons in humility, I was able to find the balance in
holding back and allowing Father’s will to unfold. Certainly in the mortal
experience will you experience the perseverance of ego and look for
opportunities to be rewarded for the great person you are. It would seem that
feedback from others such as family, friends, spouses and employers seem to be a
great value.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">Not
everyone on an evolutionary experimental planet is raised with the fact that
they are a child of God and are given certain rights and gifts. This is why the
Maser taught self-forgetfulness so that the believers could receive pure
assistance from our Father. He really did make effort to teach equality among
all individuals, but as evolution has shown to be true that good prevails and
true things are lasting. In ministry it is most likely safe to be in a mode of
questioning or in self-forgetfulness, where you are trusting more in Father’s
ability than your own.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">When we close up to experience for self-protection, then
are we shutting out the assistance of spirit. You can self-protect until the end
of this mortal life and yet you will carry on from that point when you reach the
other side. Such is the eternal career, not bad or good, just the way it is.
When we are closed off because we have been burned, then are we most likely to
miss out on the abundance to be gained. Spirit perceptions that are available
for you to utilize in this life go unnoticed.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">We
can see an excellent example that the Master set by remaining open to Father’s
will, keeping a firm handle on emotions and knowing who He was dealing with.
Many things could the Master foresee because He was open, it was His deepest
desire to serve Father and His fellows. Many times could He have ran with
emotion and delayed Father’s plans. Many times could His fear have overcome His
courage to be His true self. Imagine the burden toward the end of Jesus’ life.
Did he see it as a burden? No. Was He paralyzed with emotion,
self-consciousness? No. Was He a servant to popular opinion in His own need to
be loved and accepted? No.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">You
know Jesus was born a babe of the realm just as you were. He grew just as you
did. You are able to have a fairly good communication with the Father as He did.
We can all see that Jesus was prepared all along the way for His life experience
and His ministry. He was willing to be taught. His loyalty to the Father is
unmatched, but definitely do you have opportunity to make an effort to come
close. I am stopping there.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">I
am Abraham. For the week ahead let us ponder how we are self-protected to the
point that we hold back or are fearful of experience. Let us ponder our balance
between allowing our Father’s will to unfold and pushing for our need to be
noticed and accepted. How is intuition helpful in everyday living and our
ministry? That is all. Know that I am with growing gratitude to you, my friends,
who dare to step out and be seen for all that you are. Well done. My love goes
with you. Until next time, shalom. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
