world away from me right now. I’m sure it’s not you that’s moved, nor me! It
just feels like a huge chasm of empty of space there between us and I don’t like
that feeling. Help me bridge that gap, would you? Help me focus my mind on my

feel myself being lifted up into a higher consciousness. This is where I need to
learn to be more often, where my mind abuts morontia reality.<SPAN

how you, Michael, were able to be so gracious in your coming and going with
people, by staying in this state of mind.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>The things of the earth tend to rattle us a lot less. Thank you for this
kind of serenity, this kind of knowing that “all is well,” that someone is in

style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You see how easy it is, Gerdean, to go
from a state of panic and chaos into order and serenity. It hardly takes any
effort and can be done in a very brief amount of time. What a great technique
this is and how great that you have learned it so well -- all of you who have
learned to go into prayer and meditation mode when life is overwhelming or
catches you off guard.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The fact is,
so much of your life is evolved in developing good habits. I know that much of
your life has been wasted in pleasure-seeking and simply becoming who you are,
but I need to say, those of you who have begun to be conscious of your calling,
your destiny, your purpose, your <I
style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">higher</I> purpose, your greater reality,
you who have opted to do the will of God, who have embraced a spiritual way of
life, who have sought to be more than you were, in fact, to be all that you <I
style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">can</I> be, you have begun to step out of
the poor associations and bad habits of yesteryear, along with the unfortunate
thinking patterns and belief systems that kept you bound down and locked into an
oppressive and unproductive way of life, have come up by the grace of God and
your own bootstraps.<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>You are the one, after all, who
has had to follow through on the disciplines that are required in order for you
to keep advancing, to keep from sliding into complacency.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The disciplines of meditation and
prayer, of reflecting, of learning to focus on meanings and values, discerning
the difference between god consciousness and your conscience, these are efforts
that yield eternal results, and so any or all of you who have made progress in
any degree in this direction, my hat is off to you.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is an eternal attainment. It will not
be lost.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Now, now that we are here,
let’s take full advantage of it.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>What shall we talk about?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>What shall we work on? What shall we develop?<SPAN

Night”<o:p></o:p></U></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>One thing that has come to my
mind lately is how much concern goes on in the mortal mind about things that go
bump in the night. The entire field of human psychology and religion as well are
teeming with action and commerce surrounding the idea of evil spirits, ghosts,
shadow personalities, dead people who don’t know they are dead … zombies now are
quite popular … but I have to tell you, I live here. I am invisible.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I live in the invisible realm and I
haven’t seen any of these.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I
haven’t seen any of these characters or phenomenon that occupy your fancies to
an almost overwhelming degree.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>In
fact, some of you do become overwhelmed by your fears and anxieties surrounding
those things that you perceive to be evil spirits – less than good spirits.<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>Of course, this is one of the
reasons mature people discourage you from dabbling in this practice of talking
to invisible personalities … because it’s so easy to bring your own
consciousness into areas that can only get you into trouble.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is said, in human terms, especially
when you are young, “bad associations spoil useful habits” and I can say the
same thing for you who are young in soul growth: “bad associations spoil useful
habits” and while we have been working diligently for your edification, your
enlightenment, and spiritual adulthood, it is odd how many of you will allow
these fears to take hold, and even if they do not take hold in you, you observe
them in others and act as though you have no authority over what they are
experiencing and so you give it free rein by your passive acquiescence to what
they are saying is true and real.<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 am telling you they are not
truth. They are not real. I’m here. I live here, and there is no one here that
is dead, walking around unaware that they are dead.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There is no one here who cannot find
their way home or resist being resurrected, who somehow got lost from their
fellows.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Not one.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Not one.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The halls are empty. They are completely
clear of shadow personalities. There is no one here from the Caligastia regime;
no one here from the Lucifer legacy. There is no one here to fear, and yet it
seems that some of you have a default button that reverts to fear every time you
turn around.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Some of you revert to
fear of financial difficulty or mechanical failure or health problems or
relationship disasters, but some of you have an equal propensity to launch into
major fears about evil spirits. </P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>What a waste of time! … from my
perspective.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>But again, I say, I am
here.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There is no one here to
frighten you.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You frighten
yourself.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You frighten each
other.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You allow things that are
mystery to become scary.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I can sit
here and tell you this all day, but unless and until you accept it, it won’t do
any good.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>I learned a phrase the other day
from my mortal associates.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It’s a
phrase having to do with affirming your position.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It’s called “nailing your colors to the
mast.” Nailing your colors to the mast is a way of holding your position for
people to see, even when you are busy doing other things and can’t hold it up
yourself.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Nail it up there.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And your colors, of course, are your
beliefs, your assignments, your positions.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>If your position is that there are ghosts in the basement or bats in the
belfry, then set forth your colors and let them be seen.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>But if it is that such things don’t
exist, then nail your colors to the mast and stand by them.<SPAN

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>There is a terrible tendency in
humanity (and it has leaked into the transmitting/receiving process) that is
more about compliance and compromise than it is about truth.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You are so interested in getting along
…<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>and indicating to others that you
have learned to get along, you will swallow things by passive acquiescence that
are not what you would represent.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Of course, the problem is, and you know this, if you say X is true and
another person says Y is true and another person says Z is true, and X, Y and Z
do not match, then we have three opposing positions.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Well, fine! Then we have three opposing
positions!<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>That does not mean you
have to fight to the death for one to win.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>It means you have three opposing positions.<SPAN

own position.<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 would like for you to be able
to stand firm in the knowledge that there are no evil spirits afoot in the
invisible world.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>But if you believe
there are, then perhaps you shouldn’t come here. Perhaps you shouldn’t talk to
us if you think that we are evil, or if you fear you are going to run into an
entity that will do you harm.</P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>So much work has gone into this
project.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So many years.<SPAN

style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It cannot be lost due to superstition
and fears of “things that go bump in the night.”<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>If you spent half as much time and
energy asserting that which is true, beautiful and good as you are inclined to
defend those who believe otherwise, you might get something accomplished.<SPAN

and say, “Well, that person testifies not having these fears.”<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>What would we do if we didn’t lose all
this time and energy to unnecessary fears? </P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>There are things to be afraid
about!<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Things that you can say,
“Oh, my God! If I don’t get the oil changed, I’ll probably crack the block on
the engine.”<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>“Oh, boy! If I don’t
take something out of the freezer, I won’t be able to cook anything for
supper.”<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Now these may not rise to
the level of real fears, but they are concerns that indicate there are things
that we can do something about.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>They are rational.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Rational
fears.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Evil spirits are irrational
fears.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is no different than
seeing your breath on a cold day and thinking it’s your Thought Adjuster going

on in the universe, on your world, in your town, in your house.<SPAN

which you have no control because you don’t know where they are coming from or
where they are going to.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You can’t
even see them! Like electricity.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>It’s there.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You know it’s
there.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You know it works. When you
turn on the switch, the light goes on. But there are also energy spurts in the
atmosphere that you can’t see and over which you have no control. That does not

to [thank for being] gracious in my teaching practices.<SPAN

style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We go back many years, many
decades.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I have been speaking like
this to her all this time.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>In order
to become spirit-minded, you need to put your mind on what is real. The more you
entertain that which is not real, the more you put off becoming real, and so
eventually it becomes like “mental masturbation” of, well, amusing yourself,
making yourself feel better because you would still rather feel the comfort of
the unknown that brave the reality of your own destiny.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>If you want to do that, go ahead, but
don’t get in the way of those who have already launched on the high seas of
spirit attainment.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Some of you people, I have heard
it said, are trying to fuse on this planet - during your lifetime - and that is
not something that we will discourage.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Some day people will be fusing right and left on this planet, such that
we will have to build a structure to accommodate it, so it is indeed part of
your planetary destiny that you can and will be able to fuse here and that’s a
noble goal.<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>Some of you started out with that
goal and then found out life was difficult and so you decided to become humble
and in becoming humble you gave up your striving.<SPAN

you’ve found out its difficult.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You
don’t have to join the others in their sniveling and whimpering about things
that go bump in the night.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So as to
keep each other company in this zone, this grey zone of lesser mystery.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Nail your colors to the mast and strive
on, even if you have to do it yourself, which, in truth, we all do.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>That’s what it takes. We all have to
make our own decisions in our own time, and in making those hard decisions,
sometimes we have to lose the association of our peers and loved ones.<SPAN

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>This is a part of your recovery
from alcoholism, drug addiction, and other dysfunctional behaviors, and if you
don’t know it by now you will learn it because this is a part of the first
morontia world teaching and learning. Many times when you think you have
overcome your handicap, when you want to throw away your crutches, when you want
to be all that you can be and you commit to that – getting sober, getting
straight, getting clean, to graduating, to get a job, to whatever noble ideal
you have opted to grasp, do something about – those that you hung out with will
do everything in their power to keep you from doing it because they, then, will
have to look at their own behavior and they don’t want to.<SPAN

are still wallowing in the comfort of fear while you are sticking your neck out

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Strong character, strong

of sustainable societies and all that you like to consider for a future world,

discuss with you my book that I wrote for you … that Athena used me to write for
my community.”<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It would have been
