face=Calibri>Meditation:<BR><BR>T/R: Dear Michael and Mother Spirit.
Welcome. Welcome dear <BR>parents. Welcome unimaginable
spiritual beings of unimaginable power <BR>and unimaginable scope
unimaginable experience with hundreds and <BR>billions of years now,
spread out over how many cubits of light-years <BR>of space and how many
millions of worlds. We honor you because with <BR>all that you
are, so totally beyond our imagination, still – still and <BR>all here you
are - right beside us, right inside us with the most <BR>intimate
connection of all right there with ourselves. So thank you
<BR>dear Father, dear Father of us all, Dear God for creating such
<BR>children of yours - to be such parents of ours. We are truly
humbled <BR>with this unimaginableness. (chuckle) We take great
comfort in that <BR>too, great comfort and joy that we have such touch
available to us. <BR>Amen.<BR><BR>MICHAEL: Good evening
my children this is Michael. (chuckle) I <BR>appreciate your
introduction and we, Mother Spirit and I are delighted <BR>to be
unimaginable. Definitely gives you something to look forward to
<BR>meeting us, as it were, face to face some day For also my
children, <BR>for your growth the kinds of beings you will be then is
also <BR>unimaginable to you now. You have our assurance we
will be there and <BR>it is your choice and it is within your power of
choosing, to be with <BR>us there someday. We like to
say because it is true. Eternal life <BR>is not forced upon
anyone. This is your choice. This is your choice <BR>to
embrace to continue to grow into something that is truly <BR>unfathomable
at each stage. Except after you have traversed a few
<BR>stages. You have come up from being babies and children
and <BR>adolescents, looking back on grade school and high school and
college <BR>and university for some of you. You have come
through many stages <BR>already and so you already have this rich
experience within you. It <BR>is your sole
possession of just how unfathomable those stages
to <BR>come always are. This is one small token of God’s
infinity that he <BR>set up life, human life this way.
Infinite imagination if you will <BR>to conceive of human life that Mother
Spirit and I and other sons and <BR>daughters of the trinity involved
in. And yes, you most definitely <BR>can trust
this then with such an architect with such a creator of
<BR>just human life and how that is so unique for every single one of
<BR>you. Still the parameters of that just that ungrasbleness
that <BR>unfathomableness of human life was by design.<BR><BR>You were
created in a sense with these limitations with this very <BR>finiteness to
give you that choice. Somewhere to go, somewhere to <BR>grow,
always. So you find yourself suspended like in mid-air in
a <BR>way. I like to think one of those surreal
paintings where you have <BR>a fountain right out of the middle of the air
bursting forth. That <BR>is God! That is
Michael, Mother Spirit and Myself. That is
you. <BR>That is your personality. This
comes from the bursting forth from <BR>some unfathomable reservoir of life
itself. Bursting into time and <BR>space with this body, this
mind and this spirit you have. So in a way <BR>you are
suspended. There is infinity in every direction. There
is <BR>no bottom, no sides, no top to anything. Even your own
bodies. You <BR>eat an apple and it not only is delicious and
filling - there is that <BR>energy. Though you
know that 99.9% of all those little steps there <BR>is that last little
piece you have yet to learn even about your own <BR>bodies.
That is just in general in all the libraries of the world.
<BR>For each one of you that seemingly finite body of yours: using an ear
<BR>to listen to me now. That too is infinity to your
personality. <BR>Then the mind. All the meaning of
your life for you and those you <BR>love - another
infinity. Where does the next idea come from? If
<BR>you have some training, some discipline you can decide, “well for the
<BR>next half hour I am going to think such and such of a subject”.
But <BR>where does the next idea come from? So you see
my children, even <BR>though you are surrounded by infinities and you are
suspended as it <BR>were, each moment kind of bursting into time and space
as this God <BR>created unique being. You are a
center. You are the center of your <BR>universe and it pivots
around you.<BR><BR>There is that coming out of you. Out of your own
creativity unique <BR>to you. Most of this you call
imagination. All of you as children <BR>had to deal with
this. The fact that there was so much in your <BR>universe and
wasn’t in any one else’s. You had to make some difficult <BR>explain
these things that were in you. Little bit by little bit you
<BR>had to learn how to communicate with all of them out there. So,
a <BR>lot of this is just coming out of you. It is your own
creativity. <BR>As you go out into time and space there is
some penetration there. <BR>There is some seeking
involved. There might even seem to be a curse <BR>from
time to time. “Can’t I just kick back and forget about seeking
<BR>for truth and beauty and goodness? Why am I driven this
way? What <BR>is this thing of curiosity that won’t let me
rest?” Least not when <BR>you are young.<BR><BR>Then as you
kind of find yourself suspended in all of these infinities <BR>in this own
world, you discover that the world is moving toward you.
<BR>You are in motion in the middle of a universe that is not only you –
<BR>and here it comes – moment by moment. It is all in motion and it
is <BR>all coming towards you – events to handle. Even your
own body, your <BR>own mind, is not, shall we say, totally under your
control. <BR>Accidents happen. Things happen here
in time and space and so you <BR>are not only out there penetrating,
seeking - You are handling that <BR>which is simply coming at
you. This is all by design. During some <BR>of the
sessions here recently a question came about how the here and <BR>now this
dynamic living of the here and now is taking care of
<BR>itself. There was a little discussion on the fact that the here
and <BR>now is not actually an “it”. It is
personal. First of all - it is <BR>you. You have
all this dynamic life in and part of you. You are <BR>part of
it. But as through this whole human situation, this is not
<BR>an “it” my children, this is a design of God’s and of Mother Spirit’s
<BR>and of mine. In a way we are responsible. In a
way our Father is <BR>responsible. There is no other single
being. For no other single <BR>being can respond, has this ability
to respond to the whole <BR>creation. But you also have this
ability, this response ability. <BR>You can grow this ability
to respond to others like you. So the here <BR>and now is not
an “it”. It is you! It is all the other personal
<BR>beings in existence. The heads of the galaxies, the heads of
the <BR>local universes, your own system. Your own world
leaders right down <BR>to the members of your family. All this
enormous interaction is the <BR>only explanation for reality.
Because you, in your life, at the <BR>center of your universe.
The way you relate this ability to respond <BR>and to get some response
from all that out there. This is the Big <BR>Game, the Big
Plan, this is the Design. And if you ask why or you <BR>wonder
why? The shortest answer is something called Soul. It
is <BR>something that comes into existence -unique to you my children,
unique <BR>to every single one of you and every personality in
existence <BR>experiencing their universe centered on them. In
conjunction with <BR>something that is absolutely singular, universal,
absolute and infinite.<BR><BR>In human being we call this the Thought
Adjuster. A presence of God <BR>that can literally suggest
thoughts and can adjust your thoughts to be <BR>more spiritual, more all
inclusive of everything in your universe. <BR>The co-authored
by God himself, this presence of God within you. <BR>This is
what soul is. Soul is every experience of every personal
<BR>being. Even Mother Spirit and I, we have what is analogous
to a <BR>human soul. We have our experiences. So
my children as you sit <BR>here listening to me tonight, as you experience
my voice, as you <BR>experience yourselves this is the
purpose. This is the <BR>fulfillment. Moment
by moment. Each moment sits upon all that came <BR>before
it. And this too is another infinite dimension.
You call <BR>it history. That which really
happened. Another infinity to <BR>explore to give meaning to
now. So rejoice and be exceedingly glad <BR>that all of
this that you are. All these infinities that you swim
<BR>through every day, all this curiosity and the courage to follow where
<BR>it tickles your fancy. All these hundreds of positive
qualities you <BR>can list in existence. It is all part of the
design. All part of <BR>the, again, (chuckle) infinite –
infinite potential that waits every <BR>single moment to become
actual. With the fact that in your life, in <BR>my life, there
is that presence of God and his purpose is you and is <BR>me.
He lives in us. That is why we call the Thought Adjuster a
<BR>Mystery Monitor if you will. You can think of it as the
mechanism <BR>by which God experiences us and experiences his
design. So yes, this <BR>is where our ultimate trust, our
ultimate faith, resides. In all <BR>these infinities
surrounding us so there is no end to Him, nor end to <BR>any single one of
us either – if we so choose. That is our power.
<BR>That is our power, our glory, and our most thankful
worship. We are <BR>always more than we can ever begin
to grasp and in that we are most <BR>like Him. Thank you dear
Father for creating me the kind of being I <BR>am. And thank
you for creating each of our children with this <BR>ability to marvel at
all they are, so much more than they can even <BR>grasp. But
they can feel comfortable and at home in that very <BR>reality and very
design of yours.<BR><BR>Now my children if you have any questions or comments
this evening <BR>bring them forth:<BR><BR>Q #1: Michael, I’ve had a
question that has been around my head for <BR>years and years. I am
very curious about the twelve specialized <BR>senses we have
as Urantians as opposed to the seventy will have in
<BR>Mansonia. Can you help me out with
that?<BR><BR>MICHAEL: Yes my
son. I’m not sure exactly what you consider it <BR>to be
the ones you already have as I just got through saying there
<BR>is more to you than your momentary consciousness can take
in. <BR>Partly you are restricted now by this mind-body
that gives you <BR>consciousness. So when you acquire a much
more subtle, shall we say, <BR>pattern being, something very analogous to
the body you have now only <BR>so much more –not only spiritually
sensitive, but sensitive to even <BR>greater range - the
electro-magnetic spectrum, to emotions, in other <BR>words when your whole
physical and mental capacities are extremely <BR>expanded. You
could call these extra dimensions. We delight that <BR>you’ve
evolved your science fiction to the degree with all your <BR>stories, then
your T.V., movies and such that you can think of now as <BR>extra
dimensions. It is so hard to explain these to you. It is
like <BR>explaining color to a person born blind. We can
only do so by <BR>analogy. Mother Spirit and I have already
mentioned that as you <BR>begin to encounter ever more powerful spiritual
beings, each order of <BR>personal being exists in a slightly different
universe of their <BR>own. As you come to meet
Seraphim, perhaps other beings on the <BR>Mansion Worlds.
First of all to be able to perceive them, to be able <BR>to communicate
with them, you will be enormously expanded. Then if <BR>you get to
know them, get to know their way of seeing the universe, <BR>what their
lives, their personal lives are like. These are
extra <BR>dimensions that you will take on. You will be able
to perceive and <BR>understand your mind; your comprehension will be
enormously expanded <BR>just as it is, hopefully, all through your human
life. There are <BR>dozens and dozens of physical, shall we
say matter-energy, dimensions <BR>that you have yet to
encounter. Your body – they are going right <BR>through you
just like your own radio or T.V. waves. They are going
<BR>right through you now. They are real, but you don’t have yet
the <BR>mechanism to pick them up. So, through all of
these you will keep <BR>growing and make a part of your life.
A part of your understanding. <BR>Essentially, as one of your wise
men put it, there is no limit to <BR>dimensions. That is why I
tease you tonight with being this fountain <BR>out in the middle of the
air, (chuckle) surrounded and suspended by <BR>infinity in every possible
way you can think of. You just get more <BR>of them.
Does that make sense to you?<BR><BR>Q: Yes that does. I was more
concerned with the Urantia Book’s <BR>discussion of the physical senses as
we think of sight, hearing, <BR>taste. In the kinesthetic
sense maybe we could come up with the six <BR>or seventh
senses. I was curious about the
twelve. I always <BR>wondered what they might
be. I’m certainly looking forward to the <BR>many
expanded senses as we progress. I was sort of hung up here in
<BR>the mortal sphere of the
question.<BR><BR>MICHAEL: That is why I can just kind of tease you
(chuckle) with so <BR>many many more to come. You encounter
them. That was my whole <BR>lesson tonight. This
is the fact that it is endless. There is no <BR>limit to how
much you can expand. What is your comprehension, what <BR>is
your understanding can encompass. And that is what makes it
all <BR>worthwhile. As Mother Spirit as said a number of
times, “ It would <BR>be hell otherwise”. You aren’t stuck on
any kind of little rabbit <BR>wheel or hamster wheel. Or stuck
on a little rabbit path going <BR>around and around. Even if
you are in this first human life of <BR>yours. You get
transformed whether you like it or not here it <BR>comes. It
is part of that enormous reality that is constantly <BR>approaching you
and, requiring that you handle it. But, you are <BR>given the
tools and you are given the perceptions and the ability to
<BR>understand. Was there anything further along those
lines?<BR><BR>Q: No, I guess that will do. Thank
you.<BR><BR>MICHAEL: Be in my Peace.<BR><BR>Q #2: Michael, I have a
question.<BR><BR>MICHAEL: Certainly<BR><BR>Q#2: Recently while in
meditation, the thought occurred to me that <BR>since reality really
happens when we ask for it – and that is when the <BR>magic happens – and
that no one is allowed to interfere with that <BR>process (i.e.,
free will). The thought occurred to me that since my
<BR>Adjuster is here to share my personality in part and eventually I will
<BR>share in his divinity, I was wondering if it would be possible, or
<BR>even fruitful, to petition my Adjuster, or even give him permission to
<BR>briefly share my personality, and perhaps I could even share the
<BR>divinity – a sort of a bump maybe to get back on track a little
<BR>better. I know you can’t see God without being consumed,
so I am <BR>talking about anything short of a near death experience. But,
is this <BR>possible or is he already working at the best level that I
can <BR>function at?<BR><BR>MICHAEL: I think you put your finger on
it at the very end there my <BR>son. Again, the presence of
God within you is an individualized <BR>presence and is also sharing your
life, gaining your experience. One <BR>of the best ways of
tuning into this power is to tune into your own <BR>soul. ……
(Interruption) … You mentioned before my son, your own <BR>soul,
because it has a co-author as it is, it is not only just your <BR>memories
it is this gigantic reality of things far far beyond your <BR>conscious
memory that you can just bring up This orientation, in
<BR>your meditation, of welcoming everything of your Thought Adjuster
- <BR>it is actually part of you - this divine part of
you. By opening <BR>yourself to anything and
giving it permission is the best you can <BR>do. And, to be
determined to deepen your meditation, to respect this <BR>time you set
aside – to really open yourself to and say, “bring
<BR>whatever”, "what do I do next?". It can be
that simple. But <BR>also spend some time just welcoming your
Adjuster to bring up moments <BR>of your soul.
This is your assurance, this is your proof if you <BR>will, in a human
way, of not only of your own existence of some other <BR>time in your
life, but his presence in your life. And though
you <BR>only may be able to touch on these for only a few moments that too
can <BR>seem like some infinity. All that life, all that life
you have lived <BR>is still there in this strange, strange, almost amazing
beyond belief <BR>what the soul is –what your soul is.
So let your Thought Adjuster <BR>enjoy this with you again, this product
the two of you are creating. <BR>And that I think will give
you about all the bump you can handle. <BR>Let it blow your
mind as you say. Let it amaze you that in reverie, <BR>far
beyond any kind of details you can imagine, your soul can come
<BR>forth and present you with that living experience when you were twelve
<BR>years old or maybe eighteen or whatever. Let yourself be amazed
that <BR>there is this cosmic reality, this absolute reality for
you. And <BR>yet it is so enormous beyond, we
shall say your voluntary recall. <BR>Let yourself be thrilled
by your own soul my son. Your Thought <BR>Adjuster will be right
there with you. Never forget this is part of
<BR>you. A gift of God to you. Does that
help?<BR><BR>Q#2: Yes, thank you for your counsel
Michael.<BR><BR>MICHAEL: Be at my Peace my Son. They say
that is the purpose of <BR>this life of yours. This unique
experience you are having. So <BR>addressing your Thought
Adjuster don’t think of it as some total alien <BR>entity. The
two of you are most intimate. The most difficult thing <BR>at
addressing your Thought Adjuster as a separate entity, shall I say, <BR>to
hear a voice in your own mind, is the fact that it is part of you <BR>and
it has always been there.<BR><BR>Are there any more questions or
comments?<BR><BR>Contributor: Hello Michael. This is
….. I just wanted to <BR>contribute a little bit to just that
previous bit discussing the <BR>Thought Adjuster and the memory of the
soul. Recently I had a unique <BR>experience in a stillness
session where I was receiving advice. I <BR>was petitioning
regarding how I could better deal with some of my <BR>mortal shortcomings
and tools to help me out. Then I got
an <BR>image of a childhood memory that I had not thought of in a
long <BR>time. This image was of my father basically teaching
me how to ride <BR>a two-wheel bike. It was a very early age and it
flashbacked to me as <BR>clear as day. What was unique about it,
from what I understood, from <BR>my Thought Adjuster, was the symbolism of
the father - the father <BR>fragment working within us and how exactly
this process works. It <BR>was sort of likened to taking the
training wheels off of the bike. <BR>The Father does
much during our mortal life to lead us along to try to <BR>teach us, to
try to aid us through this conflict of serving two
<BR>masters. One being the mortal animal self and how to rise up
and <BR>become spiritually mature and evoke that budding Morontia
character. <BR>It was very touching for me because the father
would hold the handle <BR>of the bike and running along side the bike
eventually letting go. <BR>In my experience as a child I
didn’t realize my father had let go, <BR>until I realized I was riding the
bike myself. The next step, which <BR>really came forth in my
mind, was now that the son knows how to ride <BR>the bike, the father
grabs his bike and the son and the father ride <BR>the block
together. And they eventually ride new paths together.
I <BR>just wanted to share that because the Questioner #2 put forth and
the <BR>answer that came from it very well resonated with that imagery
with <BR>that. I was in tears when I received this imagery
because it was <BR>such a touching experience with my own mortal father
and I had this <BR>dual perspective of the mortal and the divine pattern
from which that <BR>came from. I just wanted to share
that and throw that in there.<BR><BR>MICHEAL: Thank
you.. There is no hard and fast line between what <BR>you
might call memory, which is, shall we say, the purely the <BR>electrons
bouncing around your brain cells and soul, which is extra- <BR>dimensional which
your beloved Urantia Book calls it. You are all <BR>super minded in
that sense. You are all touching upon all these <BR>dimensions
we talked about this evening. In that sense your Thought
<BR>Adjuster being so much a part of you. A lot of the fullness of
your <BR>memory is spiritual. You may not have thought of this
quite this far <BR>before. Sometimes your memory
can be no more than ‘I met so and so <BR>at such and such a place at three
in the afternoon’ – just that basic <BR>outline that you have control over
and if pushed to it can recall a <BR>number of events, this is pretty much
brain activity – just pure <BR>memory. But then the
fullness, if you allow yourself, if you take <BR>the time, a lot of times
it happens in reverie or by association, but <BR>if you have time for it
in your busy lives. All this fullness all <BR>of a
sudden just swells forth. So many of you think of this ‘well
<BR>that was just a good memory’. That is actually your
soul. That is <BR>the stuff, the substance that fills up the
framework. That is your <BR>Thought Adjuster. It
is the combination of what the two of you have <BR>created
together. Other times, when you are really stumped for ‘what
<BR>do I do next?” You are in the middle of a problem or
sometimes just <BR>some delightful exercise. Every now
and then you can recognize a <BR>pure Thought Adjuster input.
It comes right out of the blue. It <BR>is startling in
the way it comprehends so many different facets of <BR>what is
happening. You can be sure, ‘is that my Thought Adjuster?’
<BR>or just my own highest spiritual creativity? There is no fast
line <BR>there either. Right from your own individual spiritual
power of <BR>creativity. That merges seamlessly into the
Father’s presence <BR>within you. You can’t say exactly,
always, ‘well that was my <BR>Thought Adjuster coming out like a bolt of
the blue’. Because your <BR>Thought Adjuster is so
much a part of you – a part of your thinking – <BR>that adjusting your
thinking towards that beautiful symbolism of the <BR>father and the
son. How the father at a certain moment lets go, lets <BR>his
son be his son and ride his own bicycle. All that meaning,
all <BR>that significance as I have mentioned. Your own soul
is your own <BR>best proof of the existence of God within
you. That is definitely a <BR>joyful bump
indeed. So, thank you for your
example. It was
<BR>delightful.<BR><BR>Commenter: Thank you for your
response.<BR><BR>MICHEAL: Be at my
peace.<BR><BR>
Was anyone else’s curiosity stirring around? Anybody <BR>else care
to speak out of their own infinity? Just think how
in <BR>expressing you are just making one more little speck of your
enormous <BR>potential. Making it actual with a constant
movement of a thousand <BR>and one possibilities we like to say swarming
around every single <BR>actuality. Yet, that one thing, that
universe, that single reality <BR>of our Father’s coming down, clarifying,
actualizing, moment-by- <BR>moment. All right then my children let
me sign off, as you say ‘it <BR>is getting late’. You have to
get onto your own bicycles to ride. <BR>And if you want to
glance over you will see me riding right along <BR>beside you and just
being tickled to death – tickled beyond death <BR>actually, tickled in a
very undying kind of way, you and I. Here, <BR>right along
with us, Mother Spirit, augmenting your courage to pick <BR>yourself up
after a big crash, and they do happen, pick yourself back <BR>up and get
back on that bike and ride again. Even if you park your
<BR>bike and go over and sit on a park bench and relax a moment here comes
<BR>the trees, here comes the sky, here comes a breeze, here comes some
<BR>other ones along on the bike path. Here is the universe of your
own <BR>and its own coming towards you – Forever!<BR><BR>That is what you
are involved in. Tonight I just hoped to give you <BR>some
deeper trust and faith in who designed it all. Even if stubbed
<BR>toes or even terrible pain, loneliness, cruelty, all the mean aspects
<BR>of life. Have some inner confidence, some real trust and faith
in <BR>the creator. All this possibility all this potential
that there is <BR>no end to. Yet this is home, this is your
home. It was designed to <BR>be home. So –
keep bursting forth out of nothing – out of your own <BR>unfathomable
essence my children. Keep blooming keep shining.
<BR>(Interruption)….<BR><BR>This is Michael again. Signing off.
Thank you for your attention. <BR>Thank you for this wonderful
stillness I feel that we have created. <BR>Again if I can
leave you with one final note. Its do not think of <BR>your Thought
Adjuster as some kind of an alien or terribly different <BR>kind of
being. Not from the standpoint of your personality also
<BR>created by God. You are very much alike. You
compliment each <BR>other. Together you fulfill the purpose
for all of this. You can <BR>think of the Supreme Being as that
facet of God that created all of <BR>this just for the experience of all
of you and all of us that only he <BR>knows totally. Then,
within each one of you to fulfill you. This <BR>is what we
call worship – this thankfulness, this delight – just that <BR>we
are. So Good Evening. I have enjoyed this very
much. Continue <BR>to be in my peace. Let it
fulfill you and delight you. Let it <BR>tease you
forth. Good
Bye…</FONT><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR
