style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>As always--Welcome!--welcome
indeed.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Since our wonderful Urantia
Book tells us a lot about our human reality from the outside-in, in an objective
way, we do appreciate and thank you for your portraying these same truths from
the inside-out, as we experience them. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>In doing so you help reassure us of the
reality of our inner selves, our subjective selves, for perhaps this is even
more needed in our particular empirical-scientifically oriented culture that
treasures objectivity so greatly.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>While that means of observation, analysis, and proof has gotten us into
outer space, and replacing living organs in living bodies, it also has lead to a
shared illusion that there is some ultimate dividing line between inner and
outer human reality, and, at it’s worst, totally negating and devaluing
something that’s “only subjective.” <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>In any case we thank you for your
reassurance that this inner reality of ours is, or at least can become, for each
one of us, a necessary counterpoise to the whole universe out there; that
achieving a living, open-minded balance between inner and outer, between “self”
and “other” is a worthy goal. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So
thank you for your help. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Amen.

style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"><FONT size=3>When considering the entire personhood,
the totality of an individual human being as a living, dynamic system, the
question becomes: where do we start?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>So many different schools of religion, or philosophy, or psychology, say
you are this or you are that, but they don’t particularly define what part of
you they are addressing.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We’ve
given many lessons on what a complex being you are compared to, shall we say, a
seraphim who doesn’t have to contend with a physical body.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Yet while a seraphim does not have your
continuity of a living, vulnerable material body to deal with, neither does she
have the same appreciation for it that you can acquire. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So let’s start by considering “you” as
the being you experience consciously right now; subjectively, the totality of
your conscious experience in an eternal now.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is what Mother Spirit and I mean by
the “you” of experience, what you have experienced directly or even vicariously
in your life. <o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><SPAN

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"><FONT size=3>Obviously this “you” exists within a
broader field of your consciousness, and you are sometimes self-aware, and
sometimes not.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>When you are
self-aware within your consciousness, let’s call this your ego although, again,
almost every school of psychology has a slightly different definition. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Let’s just say your ego is who you know
yourself to be moment to moment, including all you feel you have been.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is not your consciousness itself
because you can be totally consciousness of something or someone else and enjoy
that other great mode of awareness--self-forgetfulness. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You don’t disappear in terms of being an
experiential being--you are still experiencing--sometimes even more when you’re
not, as you say, standing in your own light. <o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><SPAN

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"><FONT size=3>Your Urantia book makes a great
distinction between your ego and your personality, and we’ve agreed with that
Oriental philosophy’s expression that the personality is like an eye that sees
but cannot see itself.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>More
specifically, your unchanging personality is like a living point of departure
into ever changing time and space.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>In this sense your ego is a kind of self-constructed mirror you hold up
to get some conscious awareness of being who you are.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It’s not your fundamental, God-created
reality--your personality--because it is self-created, created, if you will, by
a very young, immature, and imperfect being. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Your ego as such is a psychological
structure of self-awareness that, hopefully, grows and modulates towards
wholeness throughout your life. <o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><SPAN

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"><FONT size=3>There are some psychologies and
religious viewpoints that see the ego as nothing but negative, something to be
gotten rid of. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>But unless you are
living totally by yourself off in the woods somewhere, you might fail to realize
the ego is also a social construct as well. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You learned it as a tiny child from your
parents--how they saw themselves, and how they related to themselves.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Then when you got out with your
playmates, you found a necessity to project yourself, to present yourself to
others as who you were, both for yourself and them.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I’m sure you can all think back to
kindergarten and first grade and remember those whom you felt were pretentious,
those kids who thought they were far above everyone else.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>On the other extreme were those poor,
unfortunate, highly sensitive youngsters who hung out in the corners of the room
and were too shy to come out and present themselves much at all.

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"><FONT size=3>And so to get by day to day, just to
walk down a city sidewalk, you have this necessity to be there, to present
something for others.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Yet it’s also
good for you to keep in mind this ego you have, this sense of yourself, is
highly provisional and, also hopefully, varies enormously from what you call
ego-mania, someone whose sense of themselves fills their consciousness to where
they are totally self-centered and selfish with themselves.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>On the other extreme there are
individuals who have so little sense of themselves they have to be
institutionalized for their own good.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"><FONT size=3>It takes a strong, secure ego that is
able then to forget itself in its work, in its associations with other people.
<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You’re most familiar with this in
the ability to really listen to another, rather than being wholly concerned with
what you are going to say next.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Self-secure, you can let yourself go and listen completely, self
confident enough that you’ll be able to respond spontaneously to what you’ve
just heard.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Then a lively,
wonderfully creative conversation can come about.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You’ll actually be relating and engaging
with someone, not just expressing yourself at someone. <SPAN

the you that comes into being when you wake up from sleep. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>But what comprises this consciousness?
<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Obviously it depends, at least in
part, upon your human body and its physically-based mentality, what your Urantia
book calls material mind, and what you generally think of in scientific
terms.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It’s what can be measured
with your delicate instruments right down to the little millionths of a volt
jumping between brain cells. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This
is the purely material mind, the animal mind of even the highest
primates.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"><FONT size=3>Yet your Urantia book notes that all
normal human beings are super-minded. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is because your personality, your
essence, this unique reality that is who you are and no one else, this
persisting God-creation, is endowed with spirit. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>For spirit is not bound by strictly
material, cause-and-effect reality. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Spirit is relatively creative.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It’s how God, who is the essence of
personality and the creator of yours, shares His creative power of spirit with
you.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Your personal spirit is
literally this creativity within and part of your consciousness.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It’s why a human being is not
necessarily bound, as is animal, simply to what came the moment before.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Your spiritual creativity is the
essential basis for your freedom from mere circumstance and material-mind habits
and conditioning.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"><FONT size=3>Tonight, above all, I would like you to
get a sense of how your spiritual creativity is always functioning as part of
your whole field of consciousness. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The easiest way to get a feeling for this
is through that distinction we offer of human reality being experienced as,
roughly, physical facts, mental meanings and relationships, and then too
spiritual values--something no animal can have.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>True enough, highly intelligent animals
can amaze you with the amount of material they can associate. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>People have trained the great apes and
chimpanzees to understand hundreds of sound and various arm and body
signals.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>But when you put two such
well trained primates together, alone by themselves, they don’t start carrying
on a conversation. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Their behavior
is still purely reactive to what their instincts, environment, and their
trainers are initiating.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So you see
the difference from human behavior here, how no animal is able to creatively
evaluate what it’s doing.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Even on
the most subtle level it’s still reaction, while a human being can evaluate a
proposed action even before it’s attempted. <o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"><FONT size=3>In this sense, my children, you are
constantly evaluating your human reality with the power of your spirit. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is the personal spiritual component
within your consciousness, everything from the time you swing your legs out of
bed in the morning and sit there for a moment to e-valuate--(Michael
chuckles)--how you feel.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It’s
evaluating how good your breakfast tastes, how your car is operating, how your
partner or your friends are behaving.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>This is your living spirit. <SPAN

minutely evaluating everything happening to you. <SPAN

are constantly creating this evaluating part of your consciousness, even with
what I’m saying this moment--or as you read this later. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is more than a matter of material
mind, of simply relating what I’m saying with everything else you’ve known.
<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Evaluation is not just this pure
mental association; it’s living, creative spirit. <SPAN

Mind/Spirit Adjutant kind of mentality in this first phase of your eternal
life.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This mind of yours, my
children, includes intuition--direct perception, your ability to amass knowledge
and correlate it in understanding, the courage to seek out and handle new
situations, your yearning for companionship and the counsel you can get and give
to and from each other, worship--your thankfulness for being alive, and then
wisdom--your ability to bring all your past experience to bear on the present

truths of other dimensions, other orders of personal beings, forever, as you

</SPAN>Something transcendent in your life did get you to here.<SPAN

are the most regretful are likely those times when your spiritual creativity was
thwarted, or set aside, or ignored, or just not discovered yet.<SPAN

your life, and so tonight I tried to point out that personal creativity that has
always been with you and has made you what you are today.<SPAN
