[tmtranscripts] Michael 11.22.04 - Returning Home

[JERRY LANE]

Dear Folks,    Happy Thanksgiving!  Here is Michael's message (and for us, a 
very deep experience) on how to find our way back home.  Although I am aware 
of what I'm saying as I say it, I have little memory of it afterwards, so it 
was only later, during playback and transcription, that I could see the 
irony of my trying to penetrate what Michael had just said was impenetrable! 
  At least I did have some small sense of this at the time.  I just thought 
it was intrinsically part of the (?????) itself.  Jerry - Nytrayn at msn.com.

Dear Michael and Mother Spirit,    We get together again in an enduring 
friendship and with deep respect to hear Your words of spiritual insight and 
truth.  These unburden our hearts of misperceived mistakes and everyday 
fears, and coax us forward, ever pointing the way.  Now that it’s getting 
near the end of another year, we ask You to help us reflect on this 
bountiful harvest of all the ideas and important ideals You’ve given us to 
carry us through the winter and on into another bright spring.  Amen.

Good evening, My children.  This is your Creator Father Michael - your human 
brother - your very dear friend.  Once again I welcome you to be in My 
peace.  Let it be as a light buoyant sea in which you float effortlessly, 
relaxing all your cares and troubles, all your worries and concerns.  Let 
these all fade away awhile.  The good duties and work of your lives will 
come around again soon enough.  I want you to learn, My dear children, the 
value of rest - the spirit of letting go completely with no fear, no 
anxiety.  Just let go, and let yourself slowly…slowly…drift to a complete 
stop…  Just let your breathing breathe itself.  Let your heart beat itself.  
Let emptiness surround you, and note how our Father inhabits the emptiness.

This is also His peace.  This is His living, buoyant body in which we all 
float eternally sustained.  It is good to return here, My sons, to remind 
ourselves that this is where we started long, long ago, and – forever - just 
a moment ago, for there is a part of us that lives here, always.  There is 
no separation - here.  This is the true Source of our life.  We are always 
connected with our Father because He wills it to be so.  Breathe deeply of 
His peace.  It is a connection, Person to person.  When you return here from 
your busy activities during the day, you reconnect your consciousness to its 
Source, to Consciousness itself.

This is a sea - a sparkling, scintillating ocean of consciousness, a bright 
spiritual illumination penetrating everywhere, that we find by letting go of 
everything else.  It’s like returning home to a place that never leaves us, 
no matter how far away we stray.  Never fear to return home.  Never let 
anything stand between you and our Father.  Never fear to let everything in 
your life come to a complete stop…  You see, My children?  When you let 
yourself come to a complete stop, and rest in stillness, that which is 
extraneous is given a chance to simply fall away.  That which is essential, 
in the sense of your true essence, will begin again of itself - and our 
Father, for once again we are reminded and made mindful, at times like 
these, that it is He who recreates us anew.

This is no secret, though so many search for it everywhere while the search 
itself carries them away from home.  They fear if they stop and just relax 
and let go and feel this wonderful release of so many extraneous worries and 
concerns falling away, that if they actually experience this, they may never 
pick up all these loose threads again.  And so they miss the joy of ever 
living so - unencumbered.  But this is how you keep your lives pure and 
simple and restful.  This is how you stay close to the core of your human 
being.  This is how you disentangle from all the seductive complexity of 
your modern lives.

Now: once this experience deepens, once you stop going forward so violently, 
and tune into the Father’s peace - which is His will for you - you feel 
yourself beginning to expand into ever more subtle dimensions.  The 
emptiness gets larger; and when it gets really large, My children, you will 
have a feeling of humility to marvel at this inner perception.  The more you 
become aware of, and experience the connection to our Father, the more 
natural it seems - to say: Thank You.  Thank You, Father, for this enormity 
that I now perceive.  Thank You that I can perceive it, and know I am 
capable of this perception.

Let it call to you.  Trust this appealing nature of God which invites you to 
rest ever deeper.  Never fear, the world is still there, it’s not going 
anywhere.  It won’t miss you for a little while more.  And what of the world 
that does not come back to you, just give a little sigh and let it go.  
This, My children, is the cleansing power of worship.  This is how you find 
freedom from what you really don’t want, or need.  This is where you 
discover you are already complete.

There is a whole eternity to come to do things, to meet all kind of folks, 
to have adventures that will thrill your soul right out of you.  But 
everything begins here - in stillness, in rest, in freedom, in profound 
thankfulness for the very nature of God.  This is your true home, My 
children, and it is ever with you.  There is no separation between you and 
your Father – here.  Can you notice how still it is?  Can you notice how 
enormous it is?  There is no top, or bottom, or sides.  This is where your 
Father lives in you.

Now, as we gradually rejoin the world, notice that we can carry this peace 
and completeness inside of us.  Our attention turns outward again ever so 
naturally, ever so curious as to what the world was doing while we were 
away.  Still, we can feel at home inside.  Still, we can be free.  Now we 
can worship our Father for a universe - worlds without end - and an 
adventure of finding Him out here.

We are complete.  We are absolutely still inside.  Yet we are changing - we 
are becoming more, we are growing rich in experience.  Out here is where our 
friends live, and out here live, too, all of the friends we will meet and 
come to know and share our lives with - without end.  Can you hold these 
both - inside and outside?  No?  Then let go again, just let go and notice 
they’re still with you.  Your breathing breaths itself, your heart continues 
to beat.  You’re carried along on the stream of life, and Spirit winks and 
twinkles and sparkles and calls to you again: Are you ready for another 
adventure?  No?  Then let go again and be still.  Rest in Me.  Rest in your 
Mother.  Ask us and your Father – inside - about those things remaining.  
Sleep awhile, let go of consciousness itself.  Let life carry you along.  
This is the home ground of your faith.  How many thousands of times have you 
let it all go in the most wonderful, deep, refreshing sleep, trusting your 
Father to put all the little pieces together again? - knowing you will awake 
soon and be ready for that adventure.  For it will come.

This is the week your society celebrates Thanksgiving.  So I thought we 
would take a little trip to the Source of it all.  This experience is the 
stuff our souls are made of, My children.  But this is an enormous – 
fullness - we carry along ever so effortlessly, for this, too, is of our 
Father.  Rest awhile, and if you have any questions or comments, it is 
always My delight to share them with you.

(About five minutes passed)

Student (with difficulty):  Yes, Michael, in a sense this place You have 
taken us tonight - to experience our completeness - is God’s reality for 
each and every one of us.  You have said before this is the only reality, 
and You are always here - here and now, even amidst all the turmoil and 
chaos that goes on all around us.  And I guess what prevents human beings 
from experiencing this reality in its totality is, ah, misperceptions, and 
our beliefs, our fears, our attitudes.  In fact there’s layers of this same 
reality.  I have been greatly pondering these - this idea - and my desire to 
use it to the best of my ability.  And now I have a great opening for that 
inception: the idea that I am complete, right here and now, in the eyes of 
God, opens up a whole new experience of who I am, and who each and every 
person is.  In a sense it’s like knowing the truth of that person, knowing 
or understanding the reality of that person - Gods’ reality - honoring them 
at the place they’re at, at this moment - what you have expressed to us in 
the past, as well.

Michael:  Yes, My son.  Your profound gratitude is most welcome.  In a human 
sense, this realization is also a matter of maturity.  It takes a lot of 
experience to begin to understand where all this experience comes from - 
that there is indeed a Source.  In a space-time way of thinking of it, the 
whole universe continues to emerge from a pinpoint – everywhere - as do we.  
But not knowing this, at first, you look everywhere.  Yet you can think that 
this, too, is encompassed within the Father’s plan.  And so, do not regret 
the time - perhaps even a lifetime - of running around looking everywhere 
for what was within all along.  In a way, this only compounds the joy of 
discovery.  And so once again we are humbled by the perception of our 
Father’s enormous..impenetrable…(Here nothing seemed to come for awhile, but 
it was actually a density of presence I found myself trying to fit words to: 
reality…potential? – future…present? – surprise..irony…humor? – I couldn't’t 
tell so I just said) future.  For we know even deeper in our hearts it will 
be beyond our most wild imagination.  You do not have to try to express it, 
My son.  Just rest in My peace…

(Another very long pause)

Another student:  Thank you, Father, for this profound peace and stillness 
You have brought us tonight.  It was the first time in a long time that my 
mind was actually still.  It feels very good.  I got a glimpse of what 
stillness really is.  I appreciate Your love, and Your peace, and Your 
instruction and care for us.

Michael:  Thank you, My son, for your overflowing heart.  What a joy to 
share! Please feel welcome to remain in My peace…

Well, My sons, I invite you to visit Me often - here.  Let’s get together 
again, like this, whenever your hearts desire.  As you are perceiving, now, 
this is another whole dimension, one that is the underpinning of everything. 
  And it is – oh - so close to us.  Mother sends you Her love, and I wrap 
you in My peace.   Good evening.

(Almost ten minutes passed before anyone felt like bestirring or saying 
anything to break the spell - it felt like such a touch of Presence)
