you to be living through. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Michael

all the years that were met in </SPAN><st1:City><st1:place><SPAN

taken his message to heart and found its response deep within you.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You’ve come to realize that in many
ways, my dear ones, this is the same path you yourselves are taking.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You can recognize how, when you dare to
hope, when you dare to open yourself to possibility, when you dare to take
responsibility for your own creativity out in all the world surrounding you,
then you relax in the assurance, the deep rest you find in Michael’s peace and
in my love; it does open you to all those deep fears and anxieties you may have
been denying or suppressing, sometimes for years.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

meditation and prayer and worship might seem to be bringing on disaster. <SPAN

style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>What are all these fears springing up,
all these mistakes you’ve made in your whole life, coming up once again to
plague your soul? <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>But ask yourself
if you would rather have these deep fears stay underground and affect you in
unconscious ways in all your relationships with the others in your life. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Wouldn’t you rather have these past
events be reviewed in full consciousness, now in a more mature you?<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Through meditation in the present moment
you are more in touch with your own soul which contains the completeness of
God’s view of your life.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It’s with
this completeness you can once again revisit your mistakes, your fears, and your
shortcomings--however you want to call these things that you do genuinely
regret. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Now you can look at them
afresh with new eyes and in this wholeness, in this completeness of your being,
truly forgive yourselves.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Now, in
your conscious mind, you can have the completeness of your past with no dark and
hidden events nagging you, driving you. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Now you can see and accept all that
you’ve done, and in doing so, my children, you can begin to see others as well,
not in black and white terms of all good or all evil, all driven or all
lazy.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You can begin to see their
completeness in all that they are too.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

all your mistakes. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You’re
open-minded so you can welcome learning from the mistakes you’ll make tomorrow.
<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So you try things unafraid. <SPAN

ironic, fact that the only bad experiment is the rare one that teaches you
nothing. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is how you sit loose
to life. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is how you enjoy the
flexibility of a living being--enjoying your own body and mind united in dynamic
health, and not just living for some fixed abstraction of mind alone at the
expense of your poor, suffering, mistreated and ignored
body.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>
