MEETING WITH ABRAHAM - BE READY FOR HIS LIGHT
JANUARY 9, 2000
WOODS CROSS GROUP

I am ABRAHAM. Welcome, my friends. I am so eternally grateful for Father and
His continuing abundance. He looks after even the smallest things and treats
it with high priority. What a gift we have in His Son, our Brother\Father
Michael! I ask at times who are we that we are deserving of such love and
watch-care? Michael, our elder Brother, is always at hand to make all that
we are, do, and have, better.

It has become a familiar pattern to some that their relationship with
Michael is close and well tended to, when somehow things get in the way and
the relationship slips. The closeness is not there like it was. Michael is
the Spirit of Truth, and where He is, there is truth. He seeks to uplift
each individual, thereby uplifting the whole. Individuals may choose to
postpone receiving Michael's light, but this also puts a wedge in-between
the relationship you would have with Him.

How do you know for sure what truths Michael may be revealing for your
consideration for action, truths that may reveal stumbling blocks, things
that cause you mental anguish time after time? When His light is shown upon
these dark patches He is helping you to face reality. Michael is helping you
to choose a new and better way. He is helping you to quit repeating old
techniques that only serve to continue to cycle around again and again.

A friend I am assisting at this time is attempting to change a behavior
pattern of being chronically shy. This shyness is keeping her from being her
true self. This shyness makes her avoid people and situations, and she is
not gaining her full mortal experience. At first my friend did not wish to
acknowledge this character defect. This defect affected her life directly in
a negative manner. At first she denied the defect, not wanting to be
burdened by anything else that says she is not good or less than she should
be.

This woman grew weary of her shortcoming and realized the negative affects
it had on her and those she loved. Is shyness a sin, no, but most definitely
something she wanted to be free from. She laid her dilemma at the feet of
her Master. The Master then proceeded to enlighten her with the details of
why she had this character defect and where it may have originated from.

My friend had memories of feeling inferior, not as good as everyone else.
Her peers had reinforced her ideas that she was less then them. She
remembered situations that happened that made her hide or go within and keep
her eyes to the floor. She felt ashamed and thought it best not to bother
others with who she really was.

Michael then worked with her to restructure her way of thinking. He stood
ever nearby and continuously whispered to her, "You are a child of the
living God. You are acknowledged as His daughter. You have a purpose and
destiny to fulfill. You have much to give and so much to live in this mortal
life. You need to set your eyes upon me. No longer will you look down and
feel less than others. Keep me in your sights and know your place in the
Kingdom is secured."

Slowly she became aware of Michael's presence and began to believe in Him
and His words. She was on her way toward healing. Michael and other
personalities had set her up in situations which would give her practice.
This is where I come in. I stood by her and reinforced Michael's ideas to
her and gave her tips on various actions she could take.

My friend does well. She moves about life with a bit more freedom these
days. Is her shyness gone? No. Is it better? Yes. Is it the stumbling block
it once was? No. Everyday she becomes more free to be who she was meant to
be. Michael bestows liberty. Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is
liberty.

This week continue in your efforts to become closer to the Master. Be not
afraid of His truth. Recognize those stumbling blocks that you need to have
Michael look into. What do you find in your lives that cause you to separate
from love and those things that are from a divine source. What causes you to
quarrel with your fellows? What keeps you in a continuous cycle of
non-liberty? Keep you eyes on Him. Be ready for His light. Journal some,
talk with one another some, pray some. I would take only a few questions.

HARRISON: Abraham, I have been thinking of writing regarding my grandmother
and mother. Is it possible for me to know either one's or both of their
spiritual names? My grandmother has passed away.

ABRAHAM: One moment. I am not able to find your grandmother's spiritual
name, but your mother's name is Annaley. (Thank you Abraham.) Another
question?

MIRIAM: Abraham, I asked Calvin to meet with me this week and you to talk
about some health issues. Would that be all right with you?

ABRAHAM: Certainly. I am available. Yes. (Thank you.) Another question?

CAROL: Abraham, I have a question regarding one of my sisters, who has
involved me in a possible writing of her story, and how it might effect her
family--whether this would be a good thing if she was to do this? I am not
sure. I wonder if you know anything about it?

ABRAHAM: I am aware that there could be much self healing for her, yes, very
therapeutic, but also these words could help others who have had the same
experience. These are touchy situations and tact is very important.
Gentleness of words and non-biased attitude speaks volumes. If the
individual is ready the Spirit will guide. You can help keep the focus by
remembering to allow the spiritual helpers to aid in the writing. Does this
help? (Thank you very much. It does indeed.) You're welcome. One more
question.

CALVIN: Abraham, this last week you ask me to look at something way
back-that if I could come to terms with would solve or would come half way
to correct this problem. Did I touch that nerve or did I miss the nerve? You
know what I mean.

ABRAHAM: I am aware that you have accepted a revelation of sorts from
Father. Your willingness to receive these hard lessons is commendable. You
have touched upon the issue, and yet it is only the beginning. Not to worry
though, your open attitude makes it easy for Michael to teach you, but you
could do well by slowing down a bit, maintaining a balance, really absorbing
the Master's understanding. My overall view on this though is you are
learning to trust in Michael, and with that comes His lessons, which may be
difficult but most definitely worth it. That is all. (Thank you very much.)

I am as always touched by each one of your sweet fragrances of
personalities. You are always my reason to smile. My love is with you. Until
next week, shalom
