exercise this evening.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Hopefully
you can cheerfully follow along.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Start with your perception of your being, a material body, your thoughts,
your processes, your system, your digestion, circulation, sense of touch.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Look at yourself and then go beyond your
perception of your material vehicle to your intellect and your mind.<SPAN

that flow through, whether disjointed or flowing.<SPAN

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT size=3><FONT
face="Times New Roman">When we approach you, our first layer to break through is
your material bodies’ influence on your mental faculties, and, then, we must
break through the chatter in your minds.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>The most difficult barrier to clear communications with you is your
expectations, preconceived notions, either your sense of poverty or your sense
of abundance: the “I’m not worthy” to the “I already know that, I don’t need to
listen, cause I’ve heard that before” or the “I don’t want to hear that or do
that,” which is a natural protective instinct of the animalistic nature.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So it is not necessarily abnormal to
have these inclinations which serve to protect you as long as you can recognize
that they are inclinations of the animal preservation which would be relative to
the ego.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></FONT></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT size=3><FONT
face="Times New Roman">Our hopeful desire is to see you slowly clear out your
mind and come to the place where any thing is possible, where your primary
desire is to know the truth, not as you conceive it to be currently, but as it
is on ever-progressive levels of understanding.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Instead of having the protective
instincts, can you come to a place where there is an excitement in learning
something new, unknown, not yet perceived?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>For when you can clear out your mind and fall into such a place, the
potential for spiritual interaction is at its highest, not just from ourselves
of course, but your Indwelling Adjuster, and you have a right to expect this
spiritual interaction to take place if you can come in that desire, that open
desire, to know more than you know currently.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It also helps you to stay like a child
in your perceptions of life, for you do not settle into comfortable patterns
expecting the process to be this way or that way but rather to be whatever is
the most beneficial process for enhancing your spiritual understanding at this
moment.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></FONT></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT size=3><FONT
face="Times New Roman">So allow yourselves to experience this clearing out of
the mind and opening your perceptions to the possibilities, becoming as a child
with expectancy and a sense of adventure, and I guarantee that your efforts to
do this in your contemplation, stillness time, will be rewarded with increasing
manifestation and realization of a spiritual nature.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>To sum up this evening, I would use the
term “an undefended place” for this opening of the mind to newer and greater
possibilities.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></FONT></FONT></P>

face="Times New Roman"><B>AARON</B>: You are welcome.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The “undefended place” I spoke of is not
necessarily a place without expectation, for having expectations that you can
receive and will make contact can be healthy to the process, as long as they are
not manifested other than to put you in a place of reception.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>For example, at the point when your
expectations demand particular results, then you have placed limitations on the
experience.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>But having the
expectations that you can receive actually can place you into the flow, which
allows the reception.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT size=3><FONT
face="Times New Roman">I also know that someone casually reading this material
at a future date might take exception to the term “an undefended place” as
though there is no protection from unseemly spirits and other influences outside
of your Creator’s will, and [I] simply would insert the addendum, so to speak,
that a truly undefended place in the human mind is fully cognizant of the
overriding protection of the spiritual presence of your Creator who protects you
without inhibiting you from spiritual understanding.<SPAN

Aaron.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The other comment you had
made that I was struck by, you just reinforced, and that was that we do have the
right to expect spiritual contact if we make that effort.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>When you said we have the right… I
really sat up to listen to what might follow because I don’t know… in spiritual
stuff I don’t think of myself as having rights, as having significance, even
though I know that’s the opposite of the message.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And so… anyway I heard a lot of good
things tonight that I appreciate and will be contemplating.<SPAN

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT size=3><FONT
face="Times New Roman"><B>AARON</B>: Yes, and the balancing of expectations is
important for the primary message is to open your perceptions, not necessarily
to downplay your importance.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Thus
if you can know that spiritual contact is possible and, yet, at the same time,
not be disappointed if it isn’t immediately perceivable, then you are able to
continuously allow the process to unfold, rather than to allow your
disappointment to stifle the overall experience.<SPAN

recognized something.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I have a
really hard time believing that a God that is… well first of all I don’t… I
guess I have a hard time understanding God as experiencing grief, and,
therefore, I guess, at my fundamental core, I see God as being fairly
indifferent to my presence.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And I’m
sure that is an enormous stumbling block to try to build connection, have a
relationship with an entity that I experience, a god that I have an expectation,
perceive, as being indifferent … and so, you know, a lot of… I have a lot of
perceptions about what God is that I’m sure are very flawed, that limit me
enormously.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I’m really not asking
you to say more because what you are saying is right on.<SPAN

unfortunately not alone.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You have
had no Adam and Eve to demonstrate Father’s love.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You are from a planet with many
problems, and so the best metaphor that we use is the relationship of parent and
child.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And try to see yourself as
first the child and [then] a parent and how grieved you would be if your child
didn’t want to come and talk to you, didn’t want to show you what they made or
drew, or learned, or can see, or… I cannot confirm, of course, our Creator’s
grief, but certainly sadness that any of His children don’t want to spend time,
don’t want to get to know, do not want to receive any of the gifts that are
available.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So when you think of
this, think of it in terms of your own family and relationships, and think how
hurtful that would be on a human level.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>And then see how you can change your perception when you approach your
Creator.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Shyness is certainly
acceptable but don’t let it overwhelm you.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

it… and I think perhaps it’s my intellectual hang-up, that God, being perfect,
can’t feel grief and is therefore indifferent, may be a nice intellectual way of
avoiding things.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I don’t know if
that makes sense or not.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>But for

comment in the sense that although the Creators strike no personal attitude
toward sin or the negative features of existence, this should not be
misconstrued as the Creators being neutral, dispassionate, or indifferent.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>What you have, on an eternal scale, is
complete self-control, such that the passions, emotions, so to speak, and
desires for each being of creation to succeed are tempered with the wisdom of
freewill choice and the need for the universes to unfold rather than being
manipulated.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Never forget that love
and mercy are at the core, the very essence, of all the energy that underlies
the powering of the universes.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And
because it is so ever prevalent and all encompassing, it may be difficult for an
individualized creature to pick it out of the stream of events.<SPAN

true desire, benevolence and intention.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
