OKLAHOMA NATIONAL TEACHING MISSION CONFERENCE
CLOSING MESSAGE FROM MICHAEL
JUNE 25, 2000

Greetings. I am with you and I would like to speak a few personal words, my
children. I am MICHAEL, your Brother\Father\Friend and Spirit-mover. As long
as I have known you I have loved you and become more alive through you. I
would give to you my gratitude for your persistence in carrying out this
Mission project.

As you leave this gathering there will be decisions to make. There will be
life transformations. There will be questions you must answer. Our Mission
must be based on the firm foundation of reality, reality not as you know
now, but reality that is always in a state of becoming. Whom do you serve?
As you go about your daily living could your fellows see the answer to that
question in you?

I also have lived in two worlds at once, the mortal and the spiritual. I
also had decisions to make, life transformations and goals to complete. As a
boy I had the faith of a boy. As I grew I attained the faith of a man.
Through experience I came to realize the reality of the divinity within me.
The experience brought me to that reality, good or bad experience, it was
the path. And while I was a child, I hesitated to drink the Father's cup,
but as an adult, I was committed to whatever cup Father put before me. As an
adult I had to release childish thinking, for my divine intake was making me
grow and I could not go back to the old ways of childish thinking.

My children, this Mission has caused you to grow and your thinking is
maturing of course. You cannot return to those ways of thinking as a child
just beginning. As you abide within this Mission you are committed to
growing come what may. There needs to be that dedication to drinking
whatever cup Father puts before you. You will all experience growing pains
and this is to be expected.

Through commitment to staying the course our Mission foundation is
strengthened. Let each child realize the small purpose they have within the
Mission. Let each group across the land realize its responsibility to the
overall Mission purpose. While you may face difficulties with personality
differences within the Mission, know that each child is loved for who they
are now and allowed to grow into who they are becoming.

Whom do you serve? How can you live a divine life in the flesh? How can you
stay committed to the Brotherhood even when you feel separated, or somehow
left out, or ridiculed, or not accepted? Each of you has personality
characters which brings balance and stability to this Mission. It was meant
to be that way.

Do not think you are not known, for I have loved you upon knowledge of your
existence. I have been among you as water among the rocks in the river. I
have found it a complete joy to carry you when you would allow me to. I
would have you know my dedication and strength is one with yours. I am so
that you may be made more.

Make those decisions, children. Whom will you serve? As you return to your
everyday living make a decision as to which life you will live. Is the
spiritual life only practiced at Conference time or weekly group meetings? I
have mastered the mortal life so that you can do the same. I would have you
know I am among you whether you are together or not. I would oversee that
the foundation we make today is strong enough for future generations. We
must embrace spiritual reality with practical arms.

I thank you for your invitation to bring me here to your gathering and to
your individual personal lives. Know that with each year, month, week, day,
hour, minute, I am with you. I grow every moment more in love with you.
Children, carry on.
