<DIV>Dear Folks, Please excuse the delay and the only
half-session due to pressing personal adjustments. I do intend to stay
with these delightful and heart-affirming contacts and transmissions as long as
possible. I appreciate the help they give me--to keep in mind the nature
of the adventure we are on. Thank you for your patience and support, and
thank Michael and Mother Spirit for their peace and their love.
Jerry.</DIV>

style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"><FONT size=3>Dear Mother Spirit and Michael,<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We invite you to join us
once again. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>As we approach the
fourth anniversary of this particular configuration of you two and the bunch of
us, and looking back over the lessons you’ve given us, we want to thank you for
all your contributions to our ongoing Owners Manuals for Being Human, especially
for those chapters of the Workshop part on what to do when we were broken down
in bad health from bad habits; or just lost and floundering when some kind of
massive indifference overtook us, and you helped us care
anew.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"><FONT size=3>You’ve also helped us realize this
complexity that we are, and this in turn has given us some great insights as to
how men and women all through history have viewed themselves--how they felt
about themselves and their concepts of Deity, who and what they thought God was.
<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So we thank you for these insights
that have helped put us in touch not only with ourselves and each other today,
but with the past, the history of our race as well.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Amen. <o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Well, good evening, boys, this is your
mother, Nebadonia. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I see my two
stalwart sons are here once again, holding down the fort, so to speak. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I’m glad to be another continuity you can
have in your lives--this continuing relationship that we’ve grown together.
<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I’m certainly delighted you can
feel us more and more within yourselves as a subtle background presence of my
Mind/Spirit endowments and Michael’s Spirit of Truth. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Hopefully you can even recognize your
Father Fragment’s input from time to time, most easily discernable, as we’ve
said before, as a kind of flash out of the blue, those wonderful ideas you get
every so often that seem to perfectly encompass and illuminate both you and the
situation. <o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"><FONT size=3>We’re happy too that this complex being
you can now feel yourselves to be does give you some insight as to how, all
through the past, men and women have so many times mistakenly misidentified with
only part of their being, to the exclusion or the devaluing of other aspects of
being human. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>For here too you can
see a parallel growth in which each individual recapitulates in their own life’s
developing maturity the evolution of civilization
itself.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"><o:p><FONT size=3> </FONT></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"><FONT size=3>As a human child spends long times just
eating and sleeping, so too very primitive men and women, consumed with the hunt
for food, only began thinking in a focused way when they were hungry.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>They felt very close to the animals
about them and had little self-awareness of their mental, let alone their
spiritual natures. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>They seemed to
themselves so much like the animals, they were just a part of the scenery
without any detachment or remove from it, at the mercy of natural forces.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Their intrinsic human/spiritual nature
was projected outwards and everything had spirit--the trees, the rocks, the
water, the clouds, the weather--very early separated into a good or bad spirit
depending on how it affected them. <o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"><o:p><FONT size=3> </FONT></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"><FONT size=3>Then with the ongoing development of
concepts and language and the eventual creation of writing, they gained the
ability to pass on actual thoughts from generation to generation.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Now there existed with this whole,
growing, external-objective continuity of concepts and their relationships, the
beginning of philosophy, the struggle to understand this mental dimension of
human reality of thoughts and words, expressions, writing, literature; with, in
due course, an enormous increase in vanity to consider one could achieve a kind
of immortality just by being great and being written about; or doing the
writing.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"><o:p><FONT size=3> </FONT></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"><FONT size=3>In the beginning their gods and
goddesses were just projections of human nature who carried on pretty much like
super-humans only one step above their social and political leaders, who in turn
were living out the common desires of the day, meaning a lot of food, many
mates, sumptuous dwellings, luxury. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>But with the evolution from the tribal
witch doctor or medicine man to the more isolated and specialized/learned priest
class, there began an identification with a realm of spirit that was evermore
subtly distilled out and apart from a rather scorned merely ordinary
mental/physical human life. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You
still have, and you can still read these enormous volumes of the early Chinese
and Indian and Western philosophers, their speculations and their conclusions as
to what constituted humanity and deity, ignorance and enlightenment, illusion
and reality. <o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"><o:p><FONT size=3> </FONT></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"><FONT size=3>By this time the major aspects of being
human--the physical body, the mind, the spirit, what we call the
personality--the uniqueness of the individual, and too the soul--an actual
Morontia reality, part spiritual, co-authored by the presence of God within you,
as well as what you yourself are choosing to contribute by your day to day
decisions: all this was somewhat within their evolving self-consciousness.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Yet you can see in the various teachings
how the relatively few literate, extensively trained men and women of those days
so often identified exclusively with notions of pure spirit which, ironically,
by the very uniting/creative power of their personalities, and their beliefs,
enabled them to experience their life as some Oneness--Pure
Spirit--God-consciousness. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The
intense focus of their religious practices was to provide and sustain this
experience.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And indeed, as we have
said, in your day to day experience you very rarely know anything purely
physical, mental, or spiritual, but that your personality infuses/unites both
physical fact and mental meaning with the presence and value of
spirit.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"><FONT size=3>Michael and I spend so much time on
these concepts with you, my children, to help enable you to stay in touch with
all aspects of yourself as you go through your day to day living. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So much of the suffering we see in modern
peoples with enormous individual choice is due to their concentration upon,
their only half-conscious choosing of, one aspect of themselves to the detriment
of the others.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>An example is when a
person chooses a certain state of mind, a certain excitement, a certain
stimulation provided by some drug that is extremely, even if not immediately,
detrimental to their physical health.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Another case is when folks identify so much with some misconceived
spiritual nature they become contemptuous of so-called ordinary people.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Whole sub-cultures devalue the physical
being of their fellows and nonchalantly dismiss the real suffering going on.
<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Some philosophies are so concerned
with pointing out the oneness of reality--as they see it, they deny the actual
individual personality that exists in everyone.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>People so indoctrinated can go through a
great part of their lives never feeling, never experiencing their own God-given
uniqueness. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Some even flee from
this very feeling/experience for the responsibility implied within it--that they
themselves can and therefore should take some greater control over their own
lives. <o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"><FONT size=3>Rather, see the whole evolution from
childhood/primitive/tribal/cultural dependence to a kind of mature self-reliance
in experiencing your own personal spirituality, and joyfully sharing this within
with your Father Fragment, in prayer and meditation.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This way you can have a wonderful sense
of who you uniquely are, and what you can uniquely offer others, at the same
time avoiding the terrible loneliness and isolation this great experience of
uniqueness threatened in endless centuries past.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"><o:p><FONT size=3> </FONT></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"><FONT size=3>This is why we’ve given our lessons on
what constitutes God-created individuality; what personality is.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You are such a pure creation of God’s
you cannot pick yourself up by your own boot straps; you cannot literally see
yourself; you are, more or less consciously, the living, unique point of view
from which you are experiencing your life. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So this is your mission, my children:
what constitutes a healthy, self-conscious individual?--someone who is staying
in touch with their physical health and their mental rationality, able to use
their mind for the fine tool it can be developed into.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>How do you find/create the mental estate
wherein everything has meaning, realizing too the over-capping,
frosting-on-the-cake value of spirit?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>You have been getting the feeling of how this most subtle of human
dimensions--your continuously emerging from your spiritual origin--points toward
the living origin of everything, points towards the Supreme Personal Spirit--God
himself.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"><FONT size=3>To feel all this simultaneously takes
some practice. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Your day to day
lives, your work, your hobbies, your interests generally emphasize one aspect
more than the others.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There will
always be some very physical work or play, some connection with impersonal
matter/energy.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There will always be
a need for deep mental concentration, and some stillness practice in which you
let not only your own spirit, but also Michael’s and mine, and our Father’s,
swell forth inside and let you know we’re with you.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"><o:p><FONT size=3> </FONT></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"><FONT size=3>Believe me, my children, we understand
your fatigue at times in spiritual realms. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We’ve reassured you not to worry that
spiritual energy, just like physical and mental energy, is used up. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It’s something you need to replenish from
time to time in your stillness, in your meditation and prayer.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>For even in this realm, as in the realms
of physically unhealthy habits and mental laziness, in this realm too you get
exhausted with being good. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You feel
you need to take a break and be bad for a while, if only for variety. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is very
understandable.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"><o:p><FONT size=3> </FONT></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 12pt 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"><FONT size=3>This is another area in which a kind of
tough sensitivity can save the day, save you for another day.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>If you are really sensitive to yourself
and others, you can be satisfied with being only a little bad--(Mother Spirit
chuckles)--without hurting yourself or them.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So we advise avoiding anything
that numbs you out while taking a break from time to time from your most
strenuous spiritual strivings. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Don’t worry about this potential you have
as a spiritual being; just rest in Michael’s peace and my love. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Let all the striving go. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Replenish your spirit in enjoying your
God-given pure existence. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Just know
that you are!--however perplexed, however you feel from time to time there’s a
piece missing here or there. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This
is only due to your over-emphasizing some other aspect of yourself. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>For you, like all of God’s creation, are
complete moment to moment.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Potential--possibility is part of your nature. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This means that you can continue to grow.
<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You can continue to add to your
soul throughout eternity. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is
who and what you are, my children.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>You are this very complex living being, a God-created personal being with
the evolving ability to unify your life, just as He is the personal unity of the
creation.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 12pt 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"><FONT size=3>This is our gift to you, my children,
this profound, even cosmic truth. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We reassure you, you are not alone in
your very nature. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Every personal
being from the highest to the lowest is essentially a God-created being endowed
with His spirit you call life, adding to their experience what is analogous to a
human soul. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There is something
growing here, something evolving, all of it part of the Supreme Being, that
aspect of God who unites everything spatial and
temporal.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 12pt 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"><FONT size=3>So this is the adventure you are on.
<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Welcoming it is that deep spiritual
faith you can grow that lets you let go of your self-consciousness in order to
be fully one with what you are doing, trusting you will pop up again to
yourself--especially if you have decided to create your own highly conscious
continuity.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Be very careful
here.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You shouldn’t see this as
some state of mind, however subtle--some continuous blissful emotion or pure
awareness you can be in all the time--although this is often how enlightenment
is presented. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You can’t remember to
remember something in particular; you’d be doing little else.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You need to trust yourself and let go;
forget yourself.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN><o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 12pt 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"><FONT size=3>But you can decide to meditate and pray
on a regular basis, and deepen this continuity and awareness. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You can acknowledge spirit whenever it
spontaneously occurs to you. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You
can simply enjoy reflecting on what it is you are doing and experiencing. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is the growth, the evolution of the
conscious self, and it too need have no limit. <SPAN
