<DIV>Dear folks, Many, many thanks to Gerdean for what had to
be a labor of love to get this transcript out so soon. The final
editing is my responsibility, mostly breaking up the long series of dependent
clauses that Michael and Mother Spirit often enjoy using live for, I guess,
dramatic effect, but in writing, drag: I break them up into smaller
sentences. I seem to recall too a lot of laughter...</DIV>

later read these words, as you look around your room, that particular room is
dependent upon you for its existence as a unique reality--for you. Even your
best friend sitting beside you whom you have known for years and years is
experiencing a slightly different room.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>This is that co-creation of yours that you are so seldom aware of because
it is so seamless, so powerful; it’s comprehensive.<SPAN

all these billions of little bits of perceptions into a single reality, and
there’s a deep comfort in this, once you get over the shock of it, a deep

because you are.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And so you begin
to realize where things are coming from. This bottomless, fathomless reality is
no other than you. This is God’s gift of you, to you. This is the purpose for

it’s still happening. Here comes the next breath. Here comes the next heartbeat.

suggestion here about this inner reality of yours: you are aware that all over
the world now there has been and continues to be this expansion of individual
freedom, this blossoming of individuality and creativity that forms what we call
an inexorable planetary evolution, perhaps being set back from time to time, but
overall keeping pace with the evolution of the whole cosmos in the Supreme
Being. For in this inner reality of yours, my dears, you can begin to mirror
this outward evolution. You can enjoy an inner evolution of an ever greater
freedom. So think about this. Think about being a democracy

begin to identify more and more with your potentially eternal personality and
with the transcendent reality of your soul, consider being open and
non-judgmental, not denying all these other components, all these other living
bits and pieces that you are.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Don’t
try to rule your inside reality like some petty dictator or tyrant, but be truly

to doing this, you might find that you have a riot on your hands, a real
revolution. You might feel overwhelmed with a backlog of things you have denied
or not taken the time to consider with respect. But to be open inside, to let
whatever come into your mind and to let it have its say; this is how you
entertain especially those things that are somewhat foreign to you, shall we say
those things that challenge your most deeply held beliefs. This is how you get
over your own parochial narrow-mindedness, just by being free inside, just by
being unafraid to let whatever might suggest itself. For how else can our Father
speak to you of those things you most desperately need because you have been
avoiding them for so long? Perhaps it might be those uncomfortable things you
may need to consider just for better health. <o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

with the notion: to entertain anything, everything--whether you can do it or
not! Ask with your whole heart of your Father: What’s the best thing to do next?
And then let it come. Whether you want to do it or not; entertain it! Give it a
chance. For then it is in the realm of consciousness, the conscious you that I
am talking to, this you that you know yourself. Then it’s a conscious decision.

</SPAN>This is the essence of spirit, not only that it is the creative origin of
everything, starting with our Father, and then a whole creation later--you. Come
in with your own living, creative spirit out of yourself. This is what it takes
to be free to make those choices: to realize that you are choosing. And so what
comes next is not just some fatalistic notion of being a helpless pawn with
enormous forces blowing you this way and that. You made a choice; here comes the
result; and it is at least partly you. This is the realm of spirit, not only as
being the creative origin but also being the all-inclusive Encompassing of you
and everything else, everything you know, everything you have experienced

deeper feeling about who they are, what they are. This can be the essence of the
connection between the two of you, this essence that God creates. This

the great earthquake and tsunami in Japan, and a letter that someone wrote about
the very fact that, perhaps because so many lost their lives around them--just
the fact that they were still alive and coming back from a near-death experience
like that--was to once again feel themselves living.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It’s more a situation of a suspension of
habituation in the deep psychological sense. There is so much of your daily life
that is instantaneously habituated. A classic example is, you walk into a movie
theater and you smell popcorn, but not for very long. You get in your car and
how often do you become aware of, in the sense of being a little boy or girl
again, the sensation of being in motion being so overwhelming?<SPAN

here is that just to get through your day-to-day life so much of it has to be
relegated to unconsciousness just to do it! Then all of a sudden you feel you
are dying; it’s all going; you are losing everything; you are bound for the
other shore. So you relinquish everything. You let it all go. You find that
peace in the sense of total surrender to moment-by-moment what’s happening. All
of a sudden, whether you have chosen to step off or not, you are on your way. It
is happening. And in that final embrace of the inevitable, there is such freedom
in that, that when you find yourself still alive, moment by moment by moment,
again you recover that wonder: you are starting all over again.<SPAN

the same effect on people. Women often report this after a difficult childbirth
when they were strung out and just hanging on moment by moment to give birth;
and it is suddenly over. Again: just to be alive! Just to be alive is enough.

next Big Step. And it depends on how far along…how close and how great a
relationship you have while you are still here with your Thought Adjuster. If
you think of an extremely primitive man or woman just barely beyond the stage or
the status of a savage compared with, shall we say, a more cultured person with
an enormous life experience of hundreds of people, all their arts and
sciences--all that in them: it’s very individual, obviously. But at first it’s
just a more soulful reality. The body/mind that you have is so much more
spiritually sensitive, you can be more aware of Mother Spirit and myself and our
Father as part of you. But then too the world that you step off into is going to
be amazing. The relationship with your Thought Adjuster is something that you
grow into. You become more aware of what this presence is doing in your life.

of saying you become your consciousness, this conscious you I’m talking to right
now, my daughter: this grows; it develops. Your appreciation for living grows to
the point where you begin to approximate, your personality begins to
approximate, in a sense, what your own soul is, because your own soul is partly
your Thought Adjuster. So as you approach your Thought Adjuster you also are
becoming--the only way to say this: you are also becoming more soulful. The sum
total of your being, all your experience, is becoming more and more conscious.
And so it becomes the ultimate conscious choice. And it is a choice! You are
developing a will all along. You might say it’s a final choice you make before
you become another kind of being. <o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

for a human being, for personal beings, you never entirely escape, if you will,
your own subjectivity, your own take on this that surrounds you. You get it bit
by bit, and you do have the ability to understand all these pieces and how they

stillness we can know together like this? Sometimes you can know such a
wonderful stillness, such a peace in your heart, that you hesitate to disturb
it. But then the next miracle is that nothing really does disturb it. It’s just
waiting there for you, a part of the Encompassment in which you live. You are
just taking time out from time to time to notice and appreciate it.<SPAN

mind, my dear ones, that, as I take my leave of you, there is nothing disturbed.
There is nothing really ending here. I am with you, and again I invite you to
stop from time to time and just say “Hello!” We do love that so much when our
children, as your children too, send their love and their appreciation. We pass
it on to our Father.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So: good
evening, my dear ones. Be in my peace.
