style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"><FONT size=3>MICHAEL:<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Good evening, this is Michael. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Well, you asked for it, so here it comes.
<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Let’s look a little more deeply
into your spiritual quality of appreciation. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Let me note that for you as individuals
it usually has two distinct meanings.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>One appears to be somewhat impersonal and independent of you when you
speak of a building or a property--some thing--appreciating; something increases
in value over time seemingly all by itself as a function of surrounding
economics. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The other is when you
speak of actively, consciously bestowing value on something or someone, as when
you realize and say to a friend, I really appreciate your gift to
me.<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"><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>That little tag word of value your mind
comes up with is in the dimension of spirit, for value is of the spirit and all
spirit is personal; it’s a manifestation of some personal being. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You can see how the personal experience
of appreciation is an active, living quality. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It’s also what you bestow or project on
someone or some thing.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So these two
seemingly separate but distinct meanings are really one in origin, for obviously
no impersonal thing has value in and of itself but what some personal, living
being perceives it to have.<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 points out the co-created nature
of your human reality, the fact of your spiritual endowment that so many are so
seldom consciously aware of. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Yet it
is by being a God-created personality, endowed with spirit, that you yourself
are the co-equal creator of everything you experience.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Simply put, your life is a living
combination of what you are presented with, and what you are constantly,
continueosly making of it.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is in
this, my children, where you are most made in the image of God. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is what He delights in sharing with
you: His power of creativity.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Appreciation is just the--both conscious and unconscious--recognition of
value. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I say unconscious because
for so many you, you do literally perceive value to be in some impersonal thing.
<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It appears totally--out there--and
independent of you, appreciating or depreciating as the case may be; and so it
is.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It’s also when the process
breaks into consciousness and you become aware of your own co-creative
interpretation of God’s handiwork in all of that out there, wherein, like--in
here--reality is what you and He communicate.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"><FONT size=3>Consciously, this crosses over the
threshold into what we call worship. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Worship is in its essence no other than
this conscious experience of appreciation, this thankfulness for God’s
creativity.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>In its most primal
sense it’s when you realize, with Him: I am.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Then further, your faith can inform you:
I will be forever--if I so choose to be akin with His creative power--His will,
growing in step with His growing creation. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is also what we’ve called being aware
of your moment to moment completeness.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"><FONT size=3>Mother Spirit spoke last time on the
difference between feelings of complacency or boredom which you avoid as best as
you can, and how this is so distinctly different from feelings of
completeness.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>As you too, my
children, are a direct creation of God, so this whole creation of His, this
whole time/space realm is instantaneously, moment-by-moment complete. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It’s another hallmark of His handiwork,
if you will. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Moment follows moment
by His will, and His will alone. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The universe, in this sense, is not going
anywhere.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It’s constantly
arriving--complete--moment by moment.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Each moment is unique as well as containing those aspects which are
repeating, cause-and-effect, which your empirical sciences very correctly focus
upon--what can be demonstrated over and over again, leading to what can be
predicted with mathematical certainty.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>So cosmic reality and human reality contain what is both uniform with
respect to antecedent causality, and yet too what is also incessantly being
created unique. <o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"><FONT size=3>For the story of what’s happening here,
let’s compare cosmic reality to a balloon that keeps getting bigger and bigger
forever, complete in each moment of time by God’s power of perfect creativity,
yet the next moment becoming a little larger, also by His will.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Think of a universal evolution taking
place with more material stuff and more personal beings popping into time and
space forever.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It’s not only
repeating itself with what you call Natural Law, or, writ large--God’s will, but
equally, with a continuous creation really bursting forth, set up so it needn’t
repeat itself in total. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>For this we
have much to thank our Father with sincere, lighthearted and delightful worship.
<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We can only imagine how boring
eternity would be otherwise, what a hell of
repetition.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

the most important part, and who directs it, and how.<SPAN

style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"><FONT size=3>So think about these two kinds of
leadership.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>One spontaneously
arises in any group of people, and this can be quite different in different
situations.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>How can you encourage
this in the more rigid hierarchies of authority and responsibility?<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I’ll mention again the notion of
transparency that is finding some political currency now, how essential that is
that all members in the hierarchy ideally have a full appreciation and knowledge
of what each level is doing, and how, in political realms, that is so often
deliberately muddied over--hidden and misrepresented.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It’s that other great truth you
intuited, my daughter, of how much power there is in hiding, in attitude, what
one is really doing.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is
where the follower has the responsibility to do his and her best to make certain
the leader continues to earn that position.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Does this help you distinguish between
spontaneous leadership and organized ones?<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

need to foster the creative abilities of people; and the followers’
responsibility.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Everyone needs to
be wholly in the process to have a truly creative organization.<SPAN

them.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN><o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

is gradually but steadily bringing this out.<SPAN

enormous--gigantic even compared to any time in the past, or only a few decades
ago.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>People have the power; they
always have had--potentially; but they haven’t always known it.<SPAN

</SPAN>Your Thought Adjuster, this Mystery Monitor, this individualized presence

of all the personal beings out here in time and space.<SPAN

Spirit’s and my discovery right along with you.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It’s why, if you’ll allow me to speak
for our Father, it’s why He creates autonomous, self-willed beings that, however
you are always within His existential parameters, you are capable of surprising
Him experientially for He also experiences you as you experience yourself,
moment to moment.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>In this way there
is a transcendent reality of His happening here that we can only begin to
approach.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This experience of all of
ours, this constant arriving as who we are, is the purpose.<SPAN

replete, and evolve and expand forever.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
