*Teacher*: Michael

*Transmitter*: Jerry Lane

*Subject*: Our partnership with our Father

Jerry: Dear Michael and Mother Spirit, well here we are again, your 
children. Its like we’re gathered about your knees, looking up with 
bright, eager faces, happy and expectant to hear this next chapter in, 
you might say, the greatest ongoing story ever told. We just feel so 
lucky that we’re alive now when you and your celestial family decided to 
start the Teaching Mission, to talk to us directly this way. We feel so 
blessed, considering all the generations of folks that didn’t have this 
opportunity. But still, they had you there with them all along, right 
with our Father inside us, part of our minds, part of our hearts, part 
of our feelings. So welcome, and we pray and ask you to help us be aware 
of your presence. Help us open our hearts and our minds to feel you and 
to experience you, to make you a part of our lives. Amen.

Michael: My dear children, this is your father, Michael. What a joy this 
is. I feel your wonder, and its thrilling to me, my children. How it 
moves my heart, and how I can feel it moves your heart, too, for us to 
touch each other. This is a wonderful thing in that root sense of 
wonder, of opening ourselves to we know not what each moment. But with 
the courage that Mother helps us maintain, with the trust in our Father, 
who creates the way for us one step at a time, we step off and we boldly 
go into the future trusting that He will be with us, trusting that He 
gives us moment to moment that which we need.

This is the walk of faith. This is stepping off into the unknown, moment 
by moment. Then appreciating it, appreciating our Father’s creativity, 
that can not only create a whole universe, but create it in such a way 
that it is not repeating itself. Each moment of time is unique. Each 
moment of our lives is unique. There is no need to go back or to repeat 
ourselves. And so we look forward to the blessing that this newness 
brings us. It sustains us and it renews us.

Then the question becomes how can we perceive it? It can be an article 
of faith, and that faith can point us in the right direction towards 
being open, towards joyously giving up habits in exchange for this sense 
of newness. But how do we actually perceive it? How do we experience it? 
How can we let experience itself constantly fulfill our faith?

This is a task before us. This is doing our part in partnership with God 
to realize and experience his creativity. And we do this by realizing we 
are truly his children, and we were created ourselves to be creative. 
This is part of being a personal being, a unique being. We have our part 
to play, and it is like no other. This is our partnership with our 
Father. This is carrying our half of the load, if you will. This taking 
the responsibility that is intrinsically ours, and part of our power. 
This is what we can do. This is the joy of accomplishment like no other. 
We create our own reality along with God, moment by moment. The 
responsibility is in that root sense of being able to respond.

As your beloved Urantia Book informs you, life is largely not only 
within us, but its between us and our environment and our surroundings. 
And so if we look about us, we open our eyes, we open our hearts, we 
open our minds to embrace what is there before us. This is how we are 
able to respond. True enough, only God himself is truly responsible for 
creation. Only He can respond completely, absolutely to all of his 
creation. And so as we strive to be like him, we keep this uppermost in 
our mind that all that we perceive, all that we experience, all that we 
know, all that we share is partly us. And so with courage and with faith 
we respond.

And this is especially true for those other personal beings out there, 
beyond numbering, this enormous multitude of personal beings. These are 
our brothers and our sisters. We acknowledge their right to exist. We 
acknowledge the uniqueness of each and every one of them beyond 
comprehension. But doesn’t bother us. That gives us great joy, that the 
creation is always beyond our comprehension. We can only comprehend, we 
can only hold a small piece at a time, and we will never exhaust it, 
ever. But we can respond to that which is right in front of us. We can 
strive to respond adequately to those hungry eyes that search us for 
help, that search us for our response, to acknowledge them and say, Yes, 
my brother. Yes, my sister. What joy it gives me to experience you, to 
know you, to touch you, to share these fleeting moments with you. Know 
deep inside you, you are the treasure of my soul. You are what makes 
life worth living. And this experience of you is what I will carry into 
eternity. This is my possession. This is my soul.

And so we learn to love. We learn to radiate as if we are a little sun 
our self. We beam this good will. We shine this thanks that they are 
there, that God has these children with whom we share our lives, for 
they too help make each moment new. They too renew us as we renew them. 
They fill eternity with distinct, precious moments. So as we approach 
perfection, as we strive to be like God himself, our life begins to open 
up, our days begin to open. And each moment, each day becomes more 
unique, more distinct.

This is how we do it. And I say we because Mother Spirit and I, in our 
own realm, experience you as our greatest joy. And in this we are most 
like your, for we too are evolving. We too are trying and learning. We 
too enjoy our own souls. All these experiences now, all these for us 
billions of years, that we watch our children come into existence, and 
all the nurseries of time and space, we watch them grow up through our 
local universe, and then we bid them a fond farewell as they head out 
into the galaxy, bound for Paradise. And then what joy when they return 
as final beings, fully achieved beings, radiant beyond a thousand suns. 
And still our children, still a part of our soul.

This is what you have in store for you. This is what you are earning, 
day to day. And this is the response-ability that you are learning. So 
fill your dreams with this ability to respond. Just let go, forget 
yourselves. Be fully there for another. This is how you grow your soul. 
This is how your renew yourselves and renew each other. This is the 
connection. This is beaming love toward everyone you meet. And as you do 
it, my goodness, look what emerges. That crowd of anonymous faces turns 
into this person, and that person, and this one. This is your treasure.

So Mother and I bid you welcome into our family. Feel our love for you, 
and don’t forget to feel the love of your brothers and sisters. They 
look to you, too, with hope, with happiness and joy.

Now if you have any questions or comments this evening, this is great 
fun for me, just being able to talk with you this way. So bring them on.

R: Thank you so much for you fatherly and brotherly words here tonight. 
And I envision a thanksgiving evening when we come back from over the 
river and through the galaxy to Nebadon from our long journey to 
perfection, and we come back blazing as little suns and sit down to talk 
over old time and enjoy family togetherness with you and Mother again.

Michael: Amen to that, my daughter. As you know, the finaliters have 
their own special paths to fulfill their days. And even they are 
growing, experiencing, expanding. None of us know exactly what the next 
whole phase of this universe will be, and that is part of the delight, 
is it not? To know that there is always good work to do, or indeed 
eternity would be some kind of hell boredom, would it not? So definitely 
I will look forward to that day from a human standpoint a long, long 
ways away, but have the assurance, know deep in your heart that God has 
that path laid out. Be in my peace.

R: May I ask a question?

Michael: Certainly.

R: Of the enormous multitude of beings out there, when the beings close 
to us, in our immediate neighborhood of interaction, seem to interpret 
our actions in a way that makes it difficult for us to love the response 
they are giving to us on our own actions. We choose to do things and 
those around us sometimes disapprove or reject our actions, the motives 
for our actions. It is hard to know whether sometimes our own choices 
aren’t indeed selfishly motivated. How do we check within ourselves that 
we are not being selfish, choosing to be bossy, and lay out plans of 
action that are unhelpful? And if we truly believe we are helpful, we 
are being helpful or we are trying to solve problems, how can we 
withstand the criticism and the disaffection? I feel bitter, and I don’t 
want to be that way.

Michael: Well, my daughter, just the fact you are being open to the 
possibility that you may not be perfect yet is a step in the right 
direction. A lot of our lessons, Mother and mine, recently have been on 
the difference between completeness and perfection. And it helps you to 
understand this difference and to know deep within you that moment to 
moment your are complete, and feeding this completeness in your 
stillness, feeding this love that Mother and I have for you, and sharing 
this love of ours with your own love to our Father, and loving God and 
appreciating, as I tried to spell out this evening, his creation, 
establishing a kind of spiritual home base, we’ve been calling it, 
within yourself. This relieves some of your need for a specific response 
from others. This is a feeling of completeness within yourself so that 
you don’t need others to feel complete, moment to moment.

You get a greater sense of who you are as your meditation deepens. Then 
from this point of security and strength, you can open yourself to, I 
like the concept you’ve evolved recently of feedback. Know yourself, 
know your own motivations, be rigorously honest with yourself as to why 
you are doing things, moment to moment, whether out of great mind and 
heart or even small mindedness from time to time. Just this tough, 
resilient honesty with yourself gives you a feeling of at least your own 
intention. Then here comes the feedback, here comes the response, that 
you have to be strong enough to entertain this, to listen to what folks 
are telling you, how they are perceiving what you are doing. And you 
compare it to your intention. You take each moment, when you have a 
feeling of the uniqueness of each moment, you lose the necessity to just 
gloss over or generalize. You can start to take moment by moment and 
treat each incident as this unique instance that it is. Here is how you 
get this, slowly grow this ability to respond to others.

And if they are halfway perceptive they can see this, they can see that 
you are responding to them. This opens the way for a genuine creativity 
the two of you can share, and allows each moment to be unique and new, 
so you’re not constantly, as you say, coming from the past or from past 
hurts, past judgments. This is how you can experience the newness that 
is there. So keep feeding your faith, my daughter, that this possibility 
is there, this possibility of a new, constantly revitalized you, and 
then how this can change those others out there who are part you. How 
you are perceiving them is partly yourself. Does this make sense to you? 
Do you understand the dynamic involved?

R: Yes, I do understand this, and I pray to understand it better. I 
simply sometimes think that I’m trying to expose my deepest intentions, 
and those intentions are rejected or misunderstood, or misinterpreted. 
So I will continue to seek your presence and blessing. Thank you so much.

Michael: My daughter, continue to grow your strength. It does come from 
within you, and this is where your deep stillness, it is like take a 
break, just totally relax as regularly as you can. And even from time to 
time through the day just totally relax, let it all go, take a deep 
breath, and start again. This is the only way you can break a cycle that 
you feel as bitterness. How do you stop this from continuing on? It 
helps to understand how this bitterness does project out, and how you 
will encounter it in what seems to be outside of you. And so it becomes 
a question of gathering your strength and starting anew. Be strong 
within yourself. And then you can better assess these separate moments 
as they come. They won’t all be just kind of put into a generalization 
of those folks out there. You have to perceive them as unique 
individuals in each moment as a new possibility.

R: Yes, and I will rely on your strength and company to push on, and 
when I feel that I’m, I think a stumbling block, or I don’t know if 
there’s a stumbling block, I think that I ascribe other’s intentions to 
be their own creative intentions which they are perfectly at liberty to 
hold. And I feel I’m trying to make allowances, and I feel I’m making 
over allowances, and I’m reminded often of your earthly family, and your 
brother Jude, who was a firebrand of a sort, and how inconvenient it was 
for the rest of your family. And I try to look at it in that light, and 
be patient, and be open to other opinions about my actions. And I will 
rely on your help and insight.

Michael: Well be in my peace, my daughter. I commend you on your self 
honesty. This is the way.

R: Thank you. I retire now.

S: Yes, Master, this is S in Salt Lake.

Michael: Good evening.

S: Good evening. Well I would like to do my part for the Correcting Time 
and bring industriousness and love and brightness to my fellow man. Just 
lately I’ve been sideswiped by disappointment in some of my friends and 
close relationships, but I’ve got a lot to be grateful for, and pressing 
forward. I wonder if you would have some words for me to affect and 
assist in those changes?

Michael: Well, its really wonderful when you can perceive out there, in 
your world, when that world starts to change, then you know that you are 
changing. When your world starts growing more interesting, more 
responsive, then you know that deep in your heart you are on the right 
path, you are doing the right thing, you are opening yourself to what is 
intrinsically there.

And usually it takes faith to lead the way. There is a part of Father’s 
plan that rewards courage, which means our things that are possible, but 
only happen when you just completely forget about yourself for a moment 
and step off. Mother and I talk about how impenetrable the future is, 
especially for you human beings on Urantia. You really don’t know 
sometimes what’s going to happen five or ten minutes away. This is the 
very nature of the adventure you are caught up in. Yet as you step off, 
as you exercise your faith, you can tell if you are growing. You can 
tell if you are becoming more loving, more open. You can see it in the 
way your world will change around you, the way people become more 
interesting, more responsive to you.

You probably notice as you walk down a busy city sidewalk, you tend to 
encounter yourself. Now think of those days when you are kind of dark 
and gloomy and kind of mad at the whole world, generally in that state 
of mind you are not aware of projections and how you are actually 
creating your own world. So you can wonder why everybody coming at you, 
just all these strangers are kind of gloomy and angry looking 
themselves. Yet you’ve had those times when for some other reason you 
are just kind of bubbling over, full of joy and happiness, and so that 
is what you encounter, as people totally unconsciously, they are not 
even aware they are doing this, but people will look to catch part of 
your spirit, part of your happiness. And so you can tell, this is what I 
meant this evening by you can experience and perceive when you are 
growing, when you are being more and more open, when you are 
appreciating the folks around you. Does this give you a few pointers?

S: Yes, that helps a lot, and keeping the eye of faith out the window to 
know that I’ve got a lot to be grateful for. What happens, though, when 
folks looks and say gee, there is somebody that I can touch the cloak of 
his garment, so to speak, and basically oh, there’s a happy guy that I 
can bilk and take for something? And I think everything is great and I 
get sideswiped a bit in my generosity. Am I being too generous, or 
should I still be generous and say oh well, there is somebody who has 
got to deal with their takingness or suckiness on their own. Because 
then I feel kind of numb after that, and go gee, I just want to trust my 
fellow man.

Michael: Well here, my son, is where I advised my own followers when I 
was with you to be “wise as serpents.” This is partly mental, partly 
spiritual, but there is a lot of psychology, just on a mental plane. You 
do have the hard decision to make from time to time of what is truly 
loving, what is truly supporting. You even have what you call a concept 
of tough love, in which you do not support, shall we say a parasitical 
kind of clinging onto yourself, where what you call over-generosity is 
not actually doing someone any good because you can rightly tell their 
intention is to take advantage of you. Or within their values, if they 
are looking at you in such a way they simply see you as an easy mark, or 
some kind of chump, because that is in their mind, that’s people either 
taking from others or getting taken from them. If that is their values, 
you have to deal with that. You have to trust your own perceptions that 
yes, you can be overly generous in this circumstance, and you are not 
doing them any good.

This is one of the toughest decisions you have to make, is recognizing 
this kind of situation. This is where you have to be tough and resilient 
to make that decision that they don’t care for. But here is, my son, 
sometimes you have to choose between someone’s affection and someone’s 
respect. And sadly they don’t always go together. Sometimes you have to 
reject an overture of affection which is merely trying to use you. 
Recognize it as such, and act in such a way as you have a possibility of 
gaining this person’s respect. Yes, you do encounter folks whose value 
system is either user or being used. They have nothing in their mind or 
in their spirit of a kind of equal, generous sharing between equals. 
Does this describe the situation?

S: Yes, that is a lot of food for thought. I guess what we are talking 
about is folks would be really close friends or new acquaintances that 
might be working, and just an unequal perspective of value, sort of a 
blindness to what they take, and easy availability to receive. Maybe I 
have a problem receiving.

Michael: Well, it is very gracious to accept and allow folks to give you 
things, whether it is a smile or a hug or some little article, some 
food, whatever. Because every now and then you run into genuinely 
generous folks, and it is big hearted then for you to accept what they 
have to offer and share it with them. But the difficulty comes when you 
sense you are being used, someone is rather cynically, or as you said 
sometimes just unconsciously being a bit parasitical. They are taking 
and they may not want to acknowledge how much they are taking from other 
folks. And here they need more than anything else this honest feedback 
from you, for you to look them in the eye and tell them how you perceive 
this situation. This is what they need more than anything else, is good 
honest feedback. They need to know how they are affecting other folks. 
Is there anything else you wish to discuss about this?

S: Well, that sure gives a lot of the pieces of the puzzle back in my 
perception. Thank you so much, Master. That’s just what I needed to 
here. So I’m grateful to be in service and to carry on.

Michael: Well, be in my peace, my son. Are there any other questions or 
comments?

J: I think I would make one comment. This is J, and I would like to 
know, I understand R has retired, and I think I heard the sound that 
means that she is no longer on the line, and somehow I would like to 
convey a group empathy.

R: Let me interrupt you, J. No, I’m still here. I just meant that I 
retired from that active conversation role.

J: So I want to express a group empathy for your situation, and I more 
than understand your vulnerability. And I think the answer was 
excellent. And I want to say that I was grateful to hear it myself. And 
I hope we can both remember who we are and be strong in that, so that 
when these situations arise we can just know who we are, and be 
confident in it, and let whatever needs to be said, be said, without it 
hurting so much. And I think that is the extent of my comment.

R: Yes, knowing that our brother and father Michael here has turned his 
attention to this and is aware of it anyway, all the time. Sometimes it 
is difficult in the heat of the moment to remember that this is not even 
necessarily a test. It’s just that is what is happening at this moment, 
and we just go on and let it be. And so it’s wonderful to hear that 
reassurance of going forward and listening to our heart choice and our 
intent and honing, cleansing our intentions, so that we have no fear of 
our own intentions.

J: Right. Carry on.

R: Indeed, all of us. Love is here.

J: Grateful for this message tonight.

Michael: My daughters, amen, amen to all the above. Yes it does my heart 
good too, to feel you understanding each other this way. My main message 
tonight was that you know your faith is working when the world around 
you changes and grows, becomes more interesting. And even though it may 
not be fathomable, you begin to appreciate how much of your human 
situation was deliberately created by our Father, and what a blessing, 
this adventure that can get rather fearful at times, a bit scary, but 
how necessary it is to keep you growing. For you have to trust that our 
Father too has the greatest wisdom of all in his kind of tough love, and 
what He has in store for you as a reward. This is not easy to keep in 
mind in the middle of pain, in the middle of real fear, and so you can 
just prepare yourself as best you can for those times that do come. And 
an appreciation of this helps you recognize when your fellows are 
themselves caught up in great fear or pain. Were there any other 
questions or comments?

J: I can’t thank you enough.

S: Yes, thank you, Master. I sure love you.

Michael: Well, my children, let me close this evening’s meeting then. 
Mother Spirit sends her love. Keep in mind how much she is right in, 
just a part of your mind all the time. This is probably one of the 
greatest joys you will experience on awakening on the Mansion Worlds. 
The whole culture there is such a, what you might say a universal 
acknowledgement, a recognition of how much Mother and I are a part of 
you. Just like our Father, his presence in your mind has always been 
with you. And though you may not get the pure message from your Father 
Adjuster in it’s pure state, though you can recognize still its always 
there, its part of your thinking, part of your direction. Just like my 
Spirit of Truth is helping you moment to moment sort through what is 
real and what is not, what is possible and what is not. This is how we 
enjoy being part of your lives.

And in your present state, and again I’ll say especially on Urantia, its 
especially delightful to Mother and I when you recognize this and just 
simply say, “Hello! Hi there, Michael, Mother.” Just whether you are 
driving down the freeway or walking through the park, whatever you are 
doing, changing the diapers on your baby. Just to know we are with you, 
and we treasure these moments when you realize this. It’s a little extra 
boost for us, a little glow, if you will, right within us. So feel 
Mother’s love surrounding you.

Take a break from your busy activities, and just feel it soaking right 
into your bones. And feel even deeper, ever so deep, down, down, way 
down inside of you, my peace. Like a little ball of energy, just sitting 
there glowing, letting you relax. Step out of time for a moment or two. 
Say hello. You’ll be back into the fray soon enough. Just let everything 
stop for a moment. Feel our Father right in your heartbeat. This is life 
itself. This is his power sustaining us all. Good evening.
