[tmtranscripts] Introducing the Center for Christ Consciousness

[Donna DIngillo]

Dear Friends:

In human life the journey to the Father is the manifestation of one's
true heart desires and longings. It is a path of experiential unfolding
as we come to live, learn, and love of the Father's ways and doing the
Father's will. It has taken me many years to appreciate these two
statements and to really feel their impact within my being. Following
this path has not always been easy, but it has been richly rewarding;
knowing that my life becomes more beautiful and meaningful the more I
follow the Father's ways for me fills me with hope and confidence for a
bright tomorrow.

The Urantia Book and the Teaching Mission have been instrumental
spiritual catalysts for my understanding of who the Father, Christ
Michael, and Mother Spirit are, and how to sense their influence in my
life. To say that my life would be in shambles without them is a gross
understatement; I shudder to think what might have been without them.
Conversely, with Them in my life, with each year I have been increasingly
experiencing a deeper sense of who I am and how they are leading me to
more fulfilling revelations of Themselves and how they magnify and
beautify human life. The potential is awe-inspiring, especially since we
read of Jesus' life and teachings where personality integration in the
Father leads.

There has been nothing greater in my life than having this partnership
with Spirit. There is nothing more fulfilling than sharing our Divine
Parents with others--especially in helping people find Their love within
them. One of the most compelling features of the Teaching Mission was
that through the teachers' dedicated instruction of "seeking the
stillness" we can actually experience this magnificent love connection
each moment by going within. Everything we need to live successfully is
there. Everything! What an amazing revelation to finally comprehend!

Out of this awareness came a call to service and sharing these truths
with others. That led me to conjointly found the Stillness Foundation
with fellow truth seekers, and I am grateful for that opportunity.
Further faith-growth led me to another state to found another center of
spiritual growth called the Stillness Center, which has brought people to
the Father, but this was just the seed. Now I feel I am being inspired to
taken an even greater step of faith to follow where Michael is guiding
me.

Michael wants His children to know Him. There are many ministries in
place that will lead people to a greater personal relationship with Him
so they too will feel His gentle love and tender mercy heal their lives.
In my life this is now taking shape as the Stillness Center has birthed a
higher ministry, called the Center for Christ Consciousness, being firmly
planted in Michael's foundation. It is a safe place where people can come
into a fuller and more satisfying relationship with Michael/Jesus, coming
to know Mother Spirit, and the Father in Paradise. It is a place of soul
healing, stillness, and revelation of greater truth concepts, meanings,
and values.

I do not know where Michael wants to take this ministry; I can only make
myself available to be used by Him and trust where He leads. We began our
journey last Monday evening (Sept. 2nd) with Him presenting this ministry
to those who gathered to hear His words. The post below is His opening
statement. I hope you will enjoy reading it.

In the coming weeks as the transition from the Stillness Center to the
Center for Christ Consciousness continues, we will continue to post the
weekly Thursday Welmek transmission as well as any transmissions from
Michael as part of our Monday night program. I know that healing and
prayers will also be a part of the Monday evening activities, and if you
would like us to hold people you know and love in prayers, please email
me at this address.  I will update you on the progress of the ministry of
the Center for Christ Consciousness and ask that if you are interested in
updates to please email me so I can place you on this list.  Thank you
for this opportunity to share my path with you.

Namaste,
Donna D'Ingillo

INAUGURAL STATEMENT 

MICHAEL: THE GIFT OF THE MANTLE OF FAITH
SEPTEMBER 2, 2002

My children, this is your Creator Father/Brother Michael, and I bid you
greetings. 

Each of you is a gift. Each of you is my gift to your planet: your world
and my world, the world we share, the world where we experience life.
Each of you has been created to be a minister of my love, and a beacon of
my light. And you are gathered here in honor of me in representing my
truth to your brothers and sisters. And I commission you all to act as
this beacon of light and truth, and to share the beautiful representation
that you are of this truth to your fellow Urantia citizens who are
seeking this light and this truth in their live but yet may not be aware.
 

And so I ask you tonight, how is it that you wish to serve? How is it
that you wish to reveal my love and my peace? How is it that you wish to
come to a deeper understanding of the faith that I experienced in knowing
our Paradise Father, and the love that He has for us? As you know, you
live in a universe whose motto is teamwork, and you have an active role
to play, for you participate with your indwelling Mystery Monitor, and
you cooperate with the plan that the Father has prepared for you. And
each of you now is becoming more consciously aware of what that plan is. 

You are all instruments of my making and of my doing. When you combine
this with your cooperation with your Thought Adjuster, revealing your
life plan in your experience, you are serving, you are ministering, you
are representing me. It takes faith for you to live along these lines,
and each of you now is finding deeper wellsprings of faith within you.
You cannot run out of faith. It is literally and figuratively impossible.
For it is that faith which has been given to you as a gift from our
Father to actually propel you toward Paradise. But you grow in expression
of your faith, and it becomes alive within you through your
experience—experience through times of difficulty and uncertainty.

As faith has been given to you as a gift, it is your choice how you wish
to use this gift. Will you open the box that this gift of faith comes in,
take out this faith mantle and wear it around you? Will it draw near to
you, protecting—cloaking—when the winds of change and the shadows of
doubt come upon you? Or will you leave it in its box, and put it away in
a corner somewhere, and forget about it and go about your way?

I say to you my friends tonight that the cloak of faith unfolds you in
the love and the protection of our Father in Paradise. Let this mantle
descend upon you now. Let yourself feel it cover your arms and your head
and your limbs and your torso. Let yourself become familiar with the
softness and the smoothness, and the way it acts as a buffer between you
and your outer environment. And as you let it descend upon your skin, let
its fabric begin to deepen, and go into your actual body and knit within
your cells a deeper appreciation of the gift that has been given to you. 

In my life, I came to an early understanding of this mantle of protection
from our Father in Heaven. And I know each of the challenges that you
have all faced in feeling this mantle of faith protect you. You have not
felt it, you have not used it, to the degree which it can and does
inspire you to higher levels of living. And now I encourage you, my
friends, to wear this mantle with pride and with joy, with freedom and
with gladness. Because once you have it on you, and you feel it protect
you, you will never wish to go without it. You will never wish to take it
off. You will actually want it to become a deeper part of who you are. 

In my life, I gained early experience in the watchcare and protection of
my Father in Heaven. And you who are my children are coming to a deeper
understanding of what this means, and how to live in the Father’s
presence under His watchcare.

This mantle of faith carries within it my peace. It carries within it the
promise of a deeper capacity to trust: the trust that inspires, fills you
with courage, fills you with strength and hope. All of the challenges
that you face and are placed in front of you, can be overcome by wearing
this mantle. I am going around the room, and imbuing this mantle around
each of you with a greater bonding. 

(Michael, in the body of the transmitter went about the room, placing
hands on each of 10 individuals, speaking softly to each person. Comments
too faint to be recorded.)

About 15 minutes later:

Each of you has been given a blessing that will emerge within you in the
coming days. As you grow and you allow this mantle of faith to deepen
within you, remember from where it came. I share every moment of everyday
life with each of you. You only have to call upon me, and ask for that
love and guidance, insight, judgment, that comes from my mind that comes
into you as the Spirit of Truth to embody you. When you do this, you are
no longer using your mind, but you are using the very mind of God.
Remember this, my children, and draw more deeply into me. My peace I
leave upon you. My presence overshadows you. Everyday I walk with you.
You are my children and I love you.
