just take a moment with you and cuddle with you for a bit. Come sit on my lap.
Let me hold you in my arms.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Feel my
heart beat.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Feel the warmth of my

am ready to roll. How is everyone this evening? It seems like a lively group on
the first day of a new month for you here, with this calendar, anticipating the
holiday season, as it were, and festivities appropriate. I’m not going to help
you with your Christmas shopping, but I might be able to help you be a better
present for those upon whom you bestow yourself, so that you can be a present,
your very presence can be a gift.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Is it not already a gift?<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Well, of course!<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You only have to think about what it
would be like to be alone, completely alone, perpetually and endlessly alone to
know that that can get really boring fast. It’s okay to amuse yourself for a
while but eventually we long for companions. God himself knows this.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>He was the original I AM and he longed
for company and so he created the Eternal Son and the Universal Mind and the
Universe of Universes became his playpen.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>What an amazing and majestic
situation we find ourselves in. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>How
wonderful that we are no longer completely isolated. We have the textbook that
has opened many doors; for example, the one that exists between you and me, as
well as introducing you to how many myriad heavenly helpers, some of whom help
from on high and some of whom help in the local universes, some of whom even
come here to the planet itself to aid in your ascension.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>It’s all about helping one
another, you see.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>When you pray,
and the prayer lands on the proper desk for action, the angels are kicked into
gear and often we midwayers are called to provide assistance to the angels, all
a part of the seraphic planetary government.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We help you and you help us.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And you help others. You help your
comrades because without them, you limp. And you help those who need help
because it makes you feel good and it provides an assessment of your own
progress.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>There are difficulties that
arise, I know. Even we midwayers have disagreements among us but they are
short-lived.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>“Petty frictions” they
call them. Petty frictions come about generally because your hands have not
found something to do. When you are busily engaged in what you are to do, you
don’t have time to worry about what others are doing. And when you are working
diligently, conscientiously and lovingly at your task and someone encroaches
upon your space, your time, your energy, you may feel compelled to inquire how
you may be of assistance to them because perhaps they need taken care of before
you can get back to work.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>This is part of the process of
adapting to other personalities. You can find this in marriage or in business
partnerships but more keenly in marriage because it is a personal relationship.
One can be chugging along, happily doing its thing and along comes the spouse
happily doing his thing and they run into each other in a way that stops the
process that is time then to communicate and assess the situation, weighing and
considering the factors, sometimes having to compromise, but learning in the
process to include others and their plans as well.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>There are times, though, when you
are doing your thing and someone either encroaches or demands that you stop what
you are doing or they find offense with what you are doing and the entire system
shuts down. Now here is the point of my little talk today. Let’s look at you and
how you react to someone else’s demand that you stop doing what you are
doing.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>(Pause) There are so many
possible directions we could go, we could spin off from here.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>If the line was open, I’m sure each of
you would be able to think of a different UB reference or other kind of viable
reference to underscore the value of many different approaches.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>The thing to remember is that
this is not a mechanistic universe. You are not machines and family is not a
machine; relationships are not machines. You are not robots. There are feelings
involved. Emotions, thoughts, impressions, memories, feelings, ambitions,
spirit, spirit guidance, experience and so much that goes into one individual
making a decision to act and then acting on what they perceive to be their
rightful path.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Growing up in the spirit is no
easier than it is growing up as a mortal. Going through the terrible twos,
sensitive childhood, turbulent teens, troubles of 20s, the challenges become
more complex. Instead of dealing with one issue at a time, you graduate to have
two issues to deal with at a time; eventually you may need to deal with three
major factors all at once, and while this is stressful, in the experience, once
you have mastered the moment, you can look back and feel good about how you
managed it, even reflecting on how much order and maturity and clarity and
cooperation and so forth was involved. And so your awareness grows; your
capacities are obviously growing. And as there are others also growing at their
own pace, there is going to be constant adaptation to others.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>It is important that you grow in
your own consciousness of your own soul, your own Higher Self, because that is
who you are becoming. That is who is going to fuse with your Adjuster. That is
what’s going to survive the transition from your material life to the next
plateau. </P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Remember now the Garden of
Gethsemane when the apostles were fearful that Jesus would be taken, and indeed
he was arrested, and those that were there – not counting Judas – came rushing
out to defend him. The Master knew that they had arms, weapons, on them, and
they would have used those weapons to defend the Master in their loyalty to him,
in their affection for him, in the injustice of putting to death such a noble
man, and from a human perspective it can certainly be understood, their zeal.
</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>But he said, “No! <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Back off.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Put your weapons away. I need you <I
style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">alive</I>. I need you to be free to act.
Don’t get yourself all tied up and become captive of your own passions.” And
this is my point.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The master needs
you <I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">freed up</I>. He does not need you
captive of your own passions, no matter how right and good and understandable
they may be from the human vantage point.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>This is how it is that people get
into war, why it is that disagreements can end up in hostilities:<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>because you have not learned how to set
aside your passion, which is an emotional condition, to have eyes to see the
bigger picture.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>When you are alone
and amusing yourself, it doesn’t matter if you take all the toys out of your toy
box and mix them all together. If you are alone in your kitchen, it doesn’t
matter if you take all the food out of the cupboard or the refrigerator, because
it’s your kitchen, it’s your project, it’s your toy box. </P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>And you can amuse yourself all
day long in such a manner, even being quite creative, inventive. But when you
need to work with others, or when there is an overriding cause, then you need to
learn where to subside your passions. And this does not mean giving up,
sacrificing yourself; it doesn’t mean you need to feel sorry for yourself or
victimized; these, too are more emotional states.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>It’s very difficult to grow up
and I appreciate that you might not think I know how difficult because I don’t
have the pull of the first five adjutants mind spirits as you do; we midwayers
are not as animalistic as you are and so you can say, “Yeah, well, what do you
know? We have animal fears that you don’t have,” and this is true! Even the
angels don’t understand how it is that you can be so fearful. We can know
academically that it is built in and has been conditioned for millennia but we
don’t personally know.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We can only
commiserate and attempt to work with that which we understand, but we can hope
that you can grow up enough to realize that you are capable of doing the same
thing, operating with the emphasis on the higher adjutants and the spirit of
truth to look at the farther view, the overall aim, and throwing yourself into
that effort conjointly, communally.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>It will mean some folks have to buck up and some folk have to back down,
but a living social organism requires a balance.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It needs leaders, yes, but it doesn’t
lead if no one will follow. And followers want to have someone lead them, but
not if they are going to be led off a cliff.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>All of you are really very bright; you
just haven’t figured out how to do it yet, as a group, as a whole.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Now don’t get me wrong. I’m not
being impatient.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I know how
relatively short a time it has been that we have been working with you overtly
like this. It has only been 20 years, your time, for the most part, and you have
all grown immensely – in your awareness of yourself, in the growth of your own
self-esteem, in the settling of your own rambunction.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Your self-confidence levels are more
wholesome and honorable, less erratic and flamboyant.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You have all just grown
tremendously.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I want you to know
that. It’s not just prodding you constantly to do more and better.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>But you come to me – you come to us --
for something. And this is what I have to offer. Whatever it is that we have to
offer, that is what we are going to provide if you are open for it and so this
is my offering.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>I want to encourage you. I want
to help you know yourself, your capacities, what you are up against, what you
have to deal with, what you don’t have to deal with, what the other guy is
dealing with also, how to help him deal with that if that’s appropriate, how to
mind your own business if it is not appropriate. <U>The Art of Living</U> is
what Rodan calls it, and it is not just done without a conscientious
application. Everything you learn, you learn by experience. (Pause) You can
learn things out of a book but that’s not really doing much for the Evolving
Supreme. I’m talking about helping to create the experiential God.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>That’s the stuff.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>That’s the meat and potatoes of this
existence – learning universe administration from the ground floor up, as it
were.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>We certainly are, we midwayers.
We’re getting some great experience here, some over-the-top experience because
of what this planet has undergone and I know we are looking forward to engaging
with other advancing midwayers from other worlds to share what we brought with
us and what we have gained from this experience. This is what we are all going
to do throughout eternity is meet new people, learn to work with them, go on to
do the task we’ve been given, and advance.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Funny thing about this spiritual
growth, this reality-izing.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It
takes up a lot of psychic space. We can see your gears working overtime as you
ponder this and that, as you make your decisions and act on them, as you make
mistakes, change your mind, try something else, succeed and advance. It’s
exciting watching it.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It’s so
gratifying just to see your attempts.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>And yet there is no … no office manual, no guide book, no rules and
regulations handed down from Adam and Eve from the garden, no constitution or
gill of rights coming out of Daligastia. Even we, your closest cousins are
relatively new at this game and the planetary government overseeing these
quarantined worlds. </P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>I’m going to quit talking
now.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I’m not interested in doing
all the talking or leaving you in the dust of my ambition or ignoring you in my
enthusiasm.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I’d like to engage with
you, if that’s amenable to you.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I
also want to say that I am a liaison for others and there are others who can be
made available – not all of them; some of them are otherwise occupied, but some
of them are here, are aware of our forum, open door, our light is on, and so we
are not alone here. Therefore I instruct you that if you would like to
participate now, press star six on your phone and that will open the line
between us and you can interact with the group. Bring me your questions,
concerns, commentaries and we’ll take this time together to learn to work
together, practice fraternity.</P>
