Marin TM Group

Dear Mother Spirit and Michael,    Tonight we want to express our awareness 
and our appreciation of Your graciousness.  In all these years of this 
direct contact, these living conversations with You, You have never 
threatened or scolded or demanded anything of us.  On the contrary, You’ve 
always inspired us with light-hearted, hopeful, even teasing suggestions and 
insights.  And then You have stood by us, loving and supporting us no matter 
what the degree to which we were able, or unable to follow.  Your love shows 
up that old saying – Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely 
- for the tired, cynical thing it is.  For this kind of truly absolute, 
spontaneous, creating power corrupts absolutely – no one.  Goodness 
gracious.  Amen.

Nebadonia:  Good evening, My children, this is your Mother.  My! - what a 
warm welcome.  Yes, this is the point of it all, isn’t it?  How do we behave 
when we have power?  How can we seek power knowing that we will use it 
graciously, especially with wise loving?  What is this part of love that we 
call wise?  What does this mean?  Here you are somewhat face to face as 
human beings with that great chasm of the unknowable, opaque future.

Wisdom implies using all you have experienced and gleaned from your life to 
project forward with foresight what the results of your behavior will be, so 
that you can love in such a way that the recipients of your affection are 
inspired and strengthened, encouraged to grow and live ever fuller, more 
rewarding lives.  How do you do this so they are not harmed by your love, 
not threatened or cajoled, nor encouraged to do those things which would be 
unhealthy for them?  How can you help them without their developing an 
over-dependence on your continued support, when the future is so opaque, 
when you cannot know the full consequences of what you are doing?

Let Me suggest that, first of all, an awareness of this limitation, a deep 
humility with respect to the enormity of what you cannot know beforehand, 
helps.  It helps you stay out of the realm of categorical imperatives, the 
realm of generalities and absolutes that occur around the words “never” and 
“always.”  And the more you are able to stay in an ever changing present 
moment by fully perceiving this ongoing creation - the newness, and the 
uniqueness happening - you are not coming from some situation in the past, 
but are responding freshly to those you are with here and now.

Underlying this is the spiritual ground of intention.  As your text informs 
you, in the next phase of your life the first things you will be taught are 
called morontia mota - spiritual laws.  One of these laws is that in the 
realm of spirit, intention is almost everything.  Some of your ancient human 
religious texts recognize this by saying: The intention is yours, the 
results are God’s.  This is so important because you cannot see the full 
consequences of your actions.  But if your intent to love is great, if you 
deeply and thoroughly and passionately desire to help this friend, this 
child, this parent, even this total stranger in front of you, this is a 
reality, My children.  And there is also in this other person a spiritual 
presence receptive to your intention.  They may or may not be open to this, 
but here is where your own openness in this situation, your receiving their 
full spiritual reality without judgment or prejudice - this attitude on your 
part invites them to do the same.  It assuages their fear or anxiety as to 
what you mean.  You all have had experiences where your own feelings have 
been hurt, and then you learned, somewhat later, this had not been the 
intention of this other person at all.  Neither you nor the other human 
beings you encounter are at all Shakespeare by any measure.  Many folks 
cannot express fully what they mean, or mean what they say.

But here, if you are open to their intention and take in everything of their 
whole mental-physical demeanor - their expressions, their body language - 
you will be able to read between their words what they mean to say.  This 
keeps you out of any number of silly, argumentative exchanges of meaningless 
hashing and rehashing of words and expressions which do not fit one or the 
other parties’ definition of perfect expression.  You have to reach for 
this.  You have to really want to understand the larger, spiritual person in 
front of you, however conscious or unconscious this is for them.

These are ways you can love most wisely.  Be aware and forgiving of your own 
and each others’ limitations.  Be willing to defuse any spontaneously 
arising belligerency, for you have encountered too the phenomenon of meeting 
someone with whom you just didn’t hit it off.  What do you do then?  How do 
you avoid being defensive?  You can see how this takes strength - the 
willingness to take some slight social insult or disregard or contempt or 
meanness or anger – any one of these negative slurs, and simply give this 
other person a pass.  Just absorb it, give it over to spirit, and start anew 
the very next moment.

This doesn’t always work, but I think you will enjoy some wonderful moments 
when someone inadvertently insults or attacks you in some small way, and 
then is so relieved when you don’t respond in kind.  These are spiritual 
triumphs of your soul.  Here the wisdom and the love is kindness and 
creativity, just as We do with you, My children.  Sometimes your adversary 
can be teased out of themselves; but this has to be genuine. The intent has 
to be pure and loving, and not just a trick.

If you encounter a truly cynical person who is unable to credit your 
goodness, who actually experiences it for themselves as just another ploy, 
here is where your own graciousness, your own continuing to be creative and 
spontaneous and renewed allows you to meet them with equanimity.  Here your 
intention will be tested to see if you can avoid the temptation of teaching 
them a lesson by being one-up in goodness.  For I’m afraid, My children, the 
instant you do so you will simply have absorbed their cynicism.

But to continue to be your true spiritual self in the face of provocation, 
this was Michael’s great ability all through His human life in some 
extremely barbarous situations.  He was tortured to death in a way designed 
by a cynical empire to maintain control of its subject peoples through sheer 
terror.  His was the supreme example of gracious forgiveness - in the face 
of horror, and His love began to change the world.  On your own scale in 
your own lives, these opportunities will happen.  Be not afraid.  Look to 
your own souls, your own spirit, your own intention.  Truly want to love 
this other person you are face to face with.  Take the initiative.  Create 
the saving grace, the way forward.  So even if worse comes to worst and you 
cannot create a friendship, give this person a pass.  Let them go with your 
prayers for their safekeeping.  Bless them with Our love and grant, in the 
larger scheme of things, you are no more right nor wrong than they.  Then 
take a deep breath, heave a little sigh, and realize: you are free!

If you have any questions, My sons, I would be glad to share them with you. 
It helps you re-realize, over and again, I am as much yours as you are Mine.

Student:  Mother, could You explain intention more clearly?  Rayson recently 
spoke of setting your intention for the night before you go to bed, and also 
in the morning when you get ready for the day.  I’m not quite sure what he 
is talking about or what intention really is.

Nebadonia:  Yes, C.  We have often offered this tool of dividing up your 
human experience into the realms of the physical, mental, and spiritual.  We 
have emphasized that it is the spiritual realm that is originating, that is 
creating or creative.  The physical realm pertains to what you call natural 
law, absolute cause–and-effect of impersonal energy and matter right down to 
molecules and all the way up to galaxies.  The mental realm proceeds so much 
from the physical structure of your brains, and patterns of social and 
cultural usage - a whole lifetime of habits and learned behaviors - that it 
is not all that originating, but is greatly determined by antecedents, and 
creates the bubble of familiarity We’ve discussed.  It is in the dimension 
of spirit that new ideas and concepts are born.  This is an intrinsic 
ability you are given by God himself as part of this unique personality that 
you are.

In this sense intention represents your spiritual attitude, not so much 
specific ideas as the broader, more comprehensive willingness and ability of 
your whole self.  It’s generally, but not exclusively, directed towards the 
future, what you want to see come into being.  This is what you want to 
happen, and what you intend to do to make it happen.  This can be 
communicated from one spirit to another, even consciously if the receiving 
personality is open to it.  This is most obvious when two people fall in 
love and intend to get together.

There are times when your intention will be communicated to another, 
unconsciously.  They can get a general impression so, however awkward or 
misapplied your behavior, they still may perceive you mean well, you intend 
the best for them.  And if you too are open to what I would call a global 
perception of the situation, you too can have these intimations or inklings 
of their spiritual nature and their intention, no matter how garbled might 
be their delivery.  Does this help you get a feeling for what intentions 
are?

Student:  Yes, it does.  It’s a lot more clear than it used to be.  Your 
statement brings up another question: creativity, the spirit of creativity.  
Is that creativity in the sense that Mozart was creative, or that the great 
mathematicians were creative, or the great statesman were creative?

Nebadonia:  Yes - all of the above.  Think of the whole physical-material 
universe going along. The materialists of the 17th and 18th and 19th 
centuries, in their joy and enthusiasm at discovering a scientific method 
which resulted in an enormous proliferation of understanding natural law, 
thought of the universe as a gigantic clock that was wound up once upon a 
time and given a little nudge, so everything flowed on in pure 
cause-and-effect from that original cause.  But you just pointed out the 
emergence into the universe of something that was never there before.  This 
is the fundamental definition of creativity: something new that, though it 
may have antecedents, is more than just a recombination of previous 
elements.  Mozart used previously existing musical notes, but look at what 
he created!

Your more modern existential philosophy calls this - historicity, where each 
moment in time is unique.  Even though on the larger scales of time you have 
the regularity of enormous masses of planets and stars and so forth, because 
there is a continuous creativity on the part of all personal beings, from 
the Universal Father all the way down to you, each moment is unique and like 
no other before or after.  You yourself are continually creating, I should 
say co-creating along with Us and the rest of the objective universe, your 
own subjective reality.  This means that every moment of your life is unique 
however much you are able, or unable to realize this.

For all the various reasons We have given you before, many folks are 
conditioned to feel uncomfortable with this living, spontaneous happening, 
and so actually create, mostly unconsciously, an illusion, a bubble of 
familiarity to mask this constantly changing reality.  They sometimes 
recognize it only when it is forced upon them by physical conditions they 
try to arrest, but which inevitability burst through their bubble and give 
them the experience of some catastrophe taking place - only because they 
have not kept up with all the small changes.  So this is what We mean by 
creativity, and it proceeds entirely from personal beings who not only 
create but administer the whole Universe of Universes, right down to each 
personal human being.  Does this give you an idea, My son?

Student:  Yes, it does, much more than just a glimpse into creativity, but 
rather a beginning to understanding it.  It looks like a subject that takes 
lot of understanding, and yet never get to the end of it - which I hope 
never happens.

I’m also finding that I’m better able understand what You and Michael say 
than I used to be, and I don’t know where that comes from, but I thank You 
very much for it, whether it’s You, or Michael, or my Father Fragment, thank 
You very much.

Nebadonia:  Well, C, you are very welcome.  As this definition of creativity 
takes hold in your mind and your understanding, you will be able to perceive 
it more and more, right up to the point where your whole time-space, 
physical-mental reality becomes so infused with spirit, you will begin to 
perceive what is meant by all of creation being the living body of God.  For 
creativity is God’s fundamental power.  Enjoy it, My son.

Student: Thank You, Mother, thank You.

Nebadonia:  You’ll find it is a delightfully bubbling, soaring fountain.  
And it is suspended right out in the middle of the air - bursting out of 
nothing!  This is Spirit.  I suggest you take off your shoes and jump in. 
(Group laughs)

Student:  Yes, Mother, I will. Thank You, thank You.

Nebadonia:  And be in My love.

Student:  I am.

Student:  Yes, Mother, as You were speaking to C about creativity and 
intention, what popped into my head was about what Michael has mentioned 
before, and what I have read about God and the universe knowing what we need 
before we do ourselves.  The implication in that is that the ability to meet 
that need, to manifest what we need, can be instantaneous.  So I would like 
further clarification of that because I can grasp it on a minute level, but 
I think it’s important to understanding how to…we can create our lives 
according to the will and the vision of God.

Nebadonia:  Yes, D, this is somewhat complex as it pertains to a particular 
human being in a specific planetary situation. On the larger scale, God has 
created an unfathomably deep, nigh infinite universe as a time and space 
place for His creatures at all levels, from the gigantic personal beings who 
create spiral nebula, all the way down to little ameba swimming around.  
Beyond this, God in His absolute love and wisdom not only provides for you 
what you need, but provides it in such a way that you have the freedom of 
accepting it or not, whether it be on a physical level of food and shelter, 
on a mental level of the whole social and cultural evolution of your 
species, or on the spiritual level of your personality - endowed with 
creativity and then given contact with the Father himself in your mind, your 
spirit father Michael’s Spirit of Truth in your heart, and My Holy Spirit 
dimensions of mind-adjutants which help you perceive and think.

All these are provided for you consistent with the uniformity that is 
expressed in the statement: God is no respecter of persons.  Each person is 
created and then supported in a way you can only conceive of as absolute 
fairness.  Most of the unfairness that you experience in your life is due to 
the social conditions in which you exist, the relative freedom of all your 
other fellows caught, like a snapshot, at a certain moment of historical 
development.  So while you can be happy you were not born in a caveman type 
of situation, on the other hand you were born before the planet was settled 
peacefully in Light and Life.  This is what We meant by “consistent with Our 
universal laws, you are provided for.”  But neither God, nor Michael, nor I 
are bound by precedent.  This is where your prayers come in.  This is where 
your particular petition, this time, can reach Us and, with your help, 
affect all the dimensions of your reality, limited only by Our wisdom and 
your faith.  Does this answer your question?

Student:  I guess it might…but, say, I am in need of money to pay off my 
debts.  There are only so many hours I can work in a day, or a week, or 
year, to barely satisfy that need.  How can I get beyond my own limitations 
- and have this need to pay off my debt, which is a responsibility - and 
allow God’s infinite abundance and life and love to help me meet this need?

Nebadonia:  I think you’ve answered yourself – largely, the other evening 
when you conceived the need to pray for more openness to possible answers.  
You can break it down further if you wish and let yourself be inspired by My 
encouragement - to strive for a freshness of perception day by day, even 
moment by moment, to get beyond your own social- and cultural-, and even 
self-conditioning.  Also, you have Michael’s Spirit of Truth to help you be 
ever more honest within yourself, for His spirit is most useful, not so much 
in telling if your fellows are fibbing to you, but in how you can be 
radically honest with yourself; how you can really desire to know the truth. 
  And then our Father’s presence can help you see the big picture from not 
only your own viewpoint, but also including those of your closest and most 
intimate companions so you can be open to them.  Finally, My son, you have 
your own creativity.  This can help in reexamining with an ever more 
refreshed mind all the various economic opportunities that surround you in 
what is an almost overwhelming amount of choice, compared to more primitive 
conditions where your place in society absolutely determined what you could 
do economically.  There are so many ways of handling debt, starting by 
examining the fundamental assumptions of your life that incurred this debt, 
and then how to confer with others – maybe different friends, maybe a 
financial adviser, to tap into all the opportunities and means of help 
available.  But there are the four major spiritual personalities that 
directly impinge on your life: God the Father, the Creator Son – Michael, 
Myself – Daughter of the Infinite Spirit, and your own spiritual self.  Are 
there any further questions?

Student:  A lot to think about.

Nebadonia:  It should help to remember that all spirit is personal – comes 
from a personal being.  All existence comes from personal Creator beings, 
and They truly belong to you.  It is the nature of God that He himself wills 
that He is yours; and We all delight when you use Us.

Student:  I feel so lacking in my own creativity, in my own thinking and 
creative ideas  - creating a new way of living.  I fear losing my connection 
to God – which I know is erroneous, but it kind-of dawns on me.

Nebadonia: Well, it is possible for you to lose your connection with God – 
for yourself.  This is where I ask you to have faith and a deep abiding 
trust in what I told you this evening about the power of intention: as long 
as you intend to love God and be connected with Him, you will be!  We are 
always here.  We will not fail you.  And you will not fail yourself if you 
truly do not intend to.  The study of the misdirected spirits of the Lucifer 
Rebellion shows you how it was only through an arrogance of 
self-sufficiency, a willful desire to do things on their own, entirely, by 
exercising their God-given ability to go it alone if they wanted to, that 
lead to their appalling cruelty and their ultimate obliteration.  His mercy 
- the connection, was offered over and over, and just as often willfully 
rejected.  Yet the obverse is also true.  Your desire for connection, 
springing from your spiritual nature, is what connects you, because this is 
that dimension in which you are One with your Creator.  This is His 
marvelous sharing of His nature: it is with your own intention – with which 
you reach out to touch God, that you are exercising the God-like ability 
that He gave you, to be more like Him.

Well, here we are again at the close of another wonderful evening of sharing 
our lives together.  This is why, if you wish to receive Me now, My 
children, this is why I am glowing!  I am this huge ball of energy… glowing… 
burning with spirit… showering My love on you… feeling your love for Me…  I 
am your Mother… and I am your soul-mate…  Michael and I so appreciate your 
courage.

Be in My love.  Good  evening.
