*	Michael (Jonathan TR):  I am with you.  I am your father/brother Michael
who seeks your company without ever ceasing.  Our association is continuous. 
Always am I in your midst.
	A mission of my seventh bestowal was to experience fully the life of a
mortal, to complete my universe training through gaining, not only knowledge of,
but direct experience in all the creature life that has issued forth from my
creative powers given me by our Father.  I did not singly pursue living as a
mortal for the end of the acquirement of the experience of one mortal life.
This
would have been sufficient in its requirements, but having been on previous
bestowal missions engaged in the activities of the various creature orders, I
learned that the life of any creature is more than the living of one life.
Every
station that I chose my bestowal experiences is a complexity of many creatures. 
The richness derived from an experience as each creature was multiplied through
the relationships I had with all other creatures about me.  So, upon the
maturation of my years on Urantia, my focus was not simply for me in human form
to experience a mortal life but to experience the mortal life, which entailed
intimate association with my twelve apostles, my accompanying evangels, and
disciples.  These friends enriched the experience of humankind as I could absorb
in my short time on this world.
	As I gradually realized my origin, grasped the significance of my purpose
for being alive on earth, I soon determined that living entailed incorporating
other lives into my experience, thus greatly enriching any experience I could
ever have on my own.  Thus developed, as I grew and understood spiritual truths
taught on this world, that the essential element of eternal value in all the
teachings and in all life's undertakings was the incorporation of
brotherhood, of
fellowship; that to love one another and to treat another as you wish to be
treated brought to the human soul a broader experience of life, full of those
lasting values of love, of fellowship, of trust and faith.  This
inter-association of peoples does reveal to the searching soul our Father at
least as it is manifest in social and fraternal relations, for the Father is
social and all encompassing and all embracing of every one of His children.
	But this is not readily discernible, especially on this, my favorite, world
due to the mishaps of the administrations and epochal revelations that preceded
my visit.  So, it becomes vitally important, as I undertook in my earth life, to
spend your time in the Father's presence alone, child to parent, creature to
creator, for though the human being is naturally endowed by our Mother Spirit
with the tendency to fraternize, having lost much of the great teachings of the
ages past, it falls to those of you who follow the revelations that have come to
this world to rise up noticeably and demonstrate the reality of relationship
with
the divine Father.
	In understanding the family relationship of universe creatures and the
Universal Creator, living and experiencing mortal life expands beyond the realms
of self and becomes a life of the experience of man.  This wider life experience
reveals our Supreme destiny and reveals that beautiful emerging Supreme
personality.  Though each creature gathered in total as a whole into one body
does not sum to the presence of the Supreme, our collective fellowship does
indicate the reality of our Mother Supreme.
	When I said years ago that he who has seen me has seen the Father, many
stood in disbelief, for they could not accept that a man who appeared no
different than any other man could look like the Father of the universe.  Their
vision of the Creator was so lofty, removed, pure and untouchable, the holy of
holies, that to consider that the Father was visible through the life of the
creature was unfathomable.  But this truth must be taken in to all, believed
wholeheartedly, and for one's life to adjust to the truth and to live verily
this
understanding; for the Father is seen in all His creatures by those who are
willing to discern, who are able to view transparently through the philosophies,
theologies, and structures of all teachings that real, true, and actual presence
of God.  When once it is discerned, all doubt vanishes, all doubt of the
Father's
presence and nurture.  Indeed, the doubts of ability, indeed the doubts of one's
understanding, do remain.  But your doubt of worth and of being cared for should
forever be dispelled.
	This world longs for an increase in the light of life.  It thirsts for the
water of life.  It hungers for the bread of life.  I came; I offered it; it was
received by those who could discern with the eyes of the spirit, but of great
importance, it was received by our Creator Father.  Now this water, this bread,
and this light are bestowed upon this world in my Spirit of Truth and forever
will minister to all who chance to be born upon this world, seeking to
reveal the
way and the truth and the life that I have come to be known.
	You are commissioned by and empowered by my spirit presence to reveal the
Father as I have revealed the Father.  If this were not so I would not have
said,
"follow me."  It is not a calling that requires great education or authority. 
Your credentials were bestowed upon you at the choice of freewill, moral
decision
making.  You are endowed with the Father's presence.  Having the fullness of God
within you, you are capable of revealing the Father, for those who see you can
see the Father.  But they likewise would not discern Father's gift within you if
it were not for the fact that they too are equally endowed.  My spirit is the
spirit that acts like a magnet and draws the two human souls into recognition of
the presence of the God of all.  My spirit enhances this comprehension.
	Spend your time alone in the hills with the Father and you can completely
trust my words when I said, "Be not concerned what you will say, for the spirit
will speak through you."  Be unswayed by the calamities and horrors, the actions
of mortals mistaught and distraught, for goodness prevails.  When you enter into
the mansions of the Father, the worlds I have created for your benefit and
growth, and look back upon this world of your nativity, you will note that with
the presence of the Father's bestowal gifts and the many angelic and planetary
ministers about your world, goodness outnumbers all who harbor evil in their
hearts.
	Our mission is not to plant light into darkness; our mission is to expand
the light such that no darkness remains.  Focus upon that which is true and
beautiful and good.  Be not concerned over ugliness.  The enhancement of
righteousness automatically displaces the evils of the world.  I know there are
personalities who are distrustful of my approach, for it is too passive.  It
does
not confront injustice.  But, my friends, confrontation is not the way of the
Father.  Love is the way of the Father.  Amplification of love will crowd
out all
injustice.  Confrontation of injustice perpetuates the same mistakes and fosters
the same hatred.  Be brave.  Stand for the light.  Express love.  You are
endowed
with the very reality these words represent.
	I am your brother.  I am your father.  You are embraced; you are nurtured,
and you are commissioned.  We approach the celebration of my onetime visit. 
Annually the world celebrates my arrival.  I declare that one day daily the
world
will demonstrate my arrival in your hearts and through your actions.  Peace I
bring to you.  Peace I leave with you.

*	Elyon:  I have no lesson to give, for what you have received will take much
time to fully manifest.  I speak as one mortal creature to another.  Michael
calls us to a high standard of spiritual manifestation.  Each of us has much
work
to do to accomplish such a lofty standing, but it is not impossible.  You have
discovered many times successful attainments as you have sought to develop your
morontia qualities.  Trust powers that are bestowed upon you as you have been
reminded of this day.  Plant this message ever deeper into your hearts.
	In closing I would just say to you enjoy your holiday season.  I note that
it incorporates fellowship.  This is a strong point to your festivities.  It
incorporates reverence.  With reverence and fellowship you have the essence of
Michael's gospel.  
	I will take my leave and expect to be with you again at our next meeting.
