when someone learns to heal themselves, like learning to love themselves to the

style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Yes, Mother, it seems the presence of
God within me won’t allow me to sit in front of the TV with a six-pack.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I congratulate you for giving the same
lesson on what I’ve been feeling--imagining how God see us all.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I’ve been writing about humans being
human--our human nature and how we’re redefining what it means to be in the
image of God.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>No matter what
happens politically or economically, they’re not going to get it right until
they come from the same vision.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>I’ve been idealizing notions and just allowing that, to see where it
takes me.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Right now I feel like a
nowhere man, but it’s OK--I talked with Michael about this last time.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It’s just sitting with whatever arises
and seeing where it goes.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

also a certainty that I’m OK, that I’m opening up to something I can’t yet
conceive of.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Maybe I’m un-defining
myself from how I defined myself before.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>So I’ve been writing about this identity that is beyond this body, or
what I once believed--all the religions I’ve participated in.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>But they’re part of me, and I’ve gleaned
so much wisdom from all of them.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>I’m beyond being a father, yet my children are also a part of me.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It’s all new and fresh, and it seems
like that’s how God sees me; and so much more I can’t fathom.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I love it when you and Michael say: if
we could only see ourselves how you see us--the light that we all are.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>That’s affirmation enough, to know that
for a certainty.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So: thank
you.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>My son, it’s my delight to thank
you.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>As Michael said, this very
state of a kind of limbo, or transition, is so feared by so many partly because
they’re coming from such a defensive position toward life, and it makes them
feel so vulnerable.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This
vulnerability is a valid assessment, to be open this way, to be fully in the
present with all your past truly behind you, and yet available.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Remember our early lessons when we
encouraged you to meditate and relive moments of your life, back before all the
subsequent judgments and categorizing, back to the original experience?<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>By doing so, by giving up how you’ve
been manipulating the past, you become ever more present.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>To be ever more present, to feel the
freshness, the newness that is part of the creation, in no way incapacitates you
to do the most practical things.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Rather this gives you a quality of attention that makes you more
effective.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It’s the reward of
faith: you are capable of being more--forever!<SPAN

part of the image of God in which you are made, is that you are complete each

this; no need whatsoever: it just is.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

Michael said, the next moment simply is.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
