(Doubt not—deep within)

Dear Michael and Mother Spirit,    We thank you for your recent lessons on 
how to achieve a wonderfully creative and spontaneous relationship with our 
friends and all the others we meet. Thank you for reminding us that those 
around us are our greatest treasures, and we have the possibility for being 
theirs.  Amen.

MICHAEL:  Good evening, my children, this is Michael.  My, what a group 
tonight.  I do appreciate the years of devotion this group represents.  How 
many times you have opened your hearts to me, and how many times we have 
enjoyed a rebirth together.  How many tears of joy we have known.  How many 
times you have paid me the most sincere compliment when, after we ended our 
sessions, you burst into laughter and honest exclamations of, “Wow!”  How 
many times have you walked out of our meetings together, reborn, and it was 
truly, “Oh holy night, the stars are brightly shining?”  Just imagine the 
joy you bring to Mother Spirit and me.  And for this we most humbly thank 
you.

(Some day…)

I wish I could share even more with you what it is to be a Creator Son, with 
you as my children, but this I promise you: some day I will--directly, face 
to face.  We will stand together in the crowning glory of your life, and I 
will be a proud father indeed, to send you off out into the galaxy as one of 
mine.  So let our hearts be full.

Let me help you meet the fears and anxieties, the very real vicissitudes you 
do encounter.  Let me help you meet them with my peace in your heart.  Let 
me help you feel Mother Spirit’s love pour into you, encouraging you, even 
teasing you with her laughter.  For she too will be standing along with us 
when you bid this, our homeland, a fond farewell for a season, sure and 
certain to return to us some eons hence, straight from our Father yourself.

But even this will be only the first step in your unfathomable destiny.  Out 
beyond the grand universe and the present universe age there lies winking 
and twinkling at us even that first space level with its millions of 
galaxies, its bottomless mystery and adventure.  So let yourselves go 
forward without fear to be that person standing before you in all your 
tomorrows.  Let the mystery and the adventure start now, unafraid.

You ask for our help in finding the courage to do this, so let us breathe it 
into you.  Feel it.  Remember, my children, you are not keeping your own 
heart beating, so feel me there.  You have some control over the focus of 
your thoughts, but the actual thoughts themselves?  See if you can recognize 
in them the touch of God, your own personal Father Fragment that lives 
within you, and has been a part of you all these years.

Whenever you are in trouble, or in pain, or panic, lean on us.  Calm your 
fearful headlong thoughts.  Come back home.  Just be still.  Feel us in your 
breath and in your heart, but above all feel God’s gift: feel your 
actuality.  Feel how you are--absolutely.  This is you, and you will be 
eternal.  This is the gift and the promise of our Father.  You can feel 
this; you can credit it.  You can acknowledge him and say to yourself, and 
to him, “My Father, I acknowledge you with all my heart and all my soul.  I 
thank you for me, and I hereby acknowledge: we are!  And through you I 
always will be.”

With this fullness beyond anything you yourself can create alone, you can 
let go; and you can hear another person standing before you; and you can see 
them; and you can realize--whether they can or not--they too absolutely are. 
  Although there is a personal reality of each of you beyond what either of 
you can apprehend at this early stage of your existence--it is not yet 
something you possess--you can feel it.  This is your life; this is their 
life.

(Your deepest and only necessary security)

This your deepest and only necessary security, this living spirit.  This is 
your home, and it is theirs also.  Meeting them with this equanimity, this 
peace deep within you, you will be like a little sun beaming love, 
consideration, respect, and above all--acknowledgment.  See if you can find 
a way to acknowledge everyone you meet, for this is that creative, 
spontaneous relationship you pray for.  This is something that has a life of 
its own, that can come into being to fulfill your soul’s desire.  This is 
what you can be for each other.  This is what you and I can be together.

So I wish you a happy, and joyful, and creative new year.  I feel both the 
joy and fear in your hearts, my children, and I see the radiant smiles you 
offer me through it all.  Don’t forget to breathe; feel your heart beating.  
Feel your actuality.  You are a real citizen of the cosmos.  You’re an 
absolute, living fact.  Fear not.  Be in my peace.

If you have any questions or comments this evening, these too delight me.  
So bring them forth.

Student:  Father Michael, I don’t have any questions right at the moment, 
but just a sincere Thank you!--and a heartfelt appreciation for all your 
love and support.

(Joining together in deep communion)

MICHAEL:  You are very welcome, my son.  This is a very special time for 
Mother and me when we meet like this and all join together in a deep 
communion.  Know that we truly do feel and acknowledge the love you send us, 
and we’re so happy to see how it warms your hearts too.  Just to express 
your generosity this way strengthens you and gives you hope.  So I’ll say 
amen to that.

Student:  So, Michael: It’s B.  I wanted to ask you about Martin Luther 
King, whose birthday is today.  Is there anything you could say about him 
that would enlighten us about his life, his mission on earth, and what he 
stands for--you know--for us today?  I would be delighted to hear any 
thoughts you might have about Martin Luther King.

(Martin Luther King’s mission)

MICHAEL:  Yes, my son, I would like to mention how this mission of his, you 
spoke of, was one he chose himself to fulfill.  He could sense a need, and 
realize that the sensing of this need, and the comprehension of it, was 
uniquely his. This was what he alone could give expression to.  In having 
done so he invites you all to feel for that message of hope, that challenge 
of progress, that extension of love which can be your unique gifts to your 
fellows.

What is it you can sense no one else is offering?  What is it no one else is 
saying?  What is it you have to offer that can give you the courage to walk 
in his steps--and this last I mean purely symbolically.  For simply to copy 
another or emulate his life is not what he did.  I could say, how can you 
use his example to find your own steps forward?  He had great courage.  He 
saw his life as one with his mission, yet so to value this mission of 
his--what he had to say, how he could say it--through all the chances that 
he took, he could be out front, even being an easy target.

He knew so many glorious moments all along that sustained him.  He was able 
to articulate a vision, an ideal with enormous drawing power.  This was his 
offering of hope.  This was his daring to hope.  This was his expression of 
hope, just as his being human speaks not so much a challenge, but an actual 
accomplishment, offering you this hope of what you can accomplish in your 
life. That to me was his greatest mission and his greatest message, and 
similar to the one I offered myself.  That is: the actual flowering of 
courage is hope.  Because you are daring to put your life on the line, 
knowing deep within you, this is how you actually have your life.

This is what I meant this evening about letting yourself go, to open 
yourself to the next person you meet and be the bright, cheerful, hopeful 
person in their life this day.  So you see Dr. King was not in any way a 
sacrifice, even to himself.  He actually knew a glorious fulfillment, from 
time to time, all along the way.  And that is what stands, independent of 
what happened to him.  You all realize and acknowledge: his example was not, 
and ever since has not been taken away.  He is worthy of your honor, even as 
you, my son, are worthy of mine.  Be in my peace.

Student:  I’d like to nominate Dr. King as one of the four and twenty 
councilors to the planet, unless he already is one.

MICHAEL:  All in good time.

Student:  Greetings, Michael, I’d like to thank you for your words of 
encouragement .  They are much needed right now.  As you know, it is what we 
put forward now, what sustainable ideas and actions we take, that are going 
to rebuild this planet—our cultures and civilizations.  This will require a 
great deal of courage, but it’s good to know someone has gone on before us 
to show us the way to do this.  We have been told we need to have in place 
our ideas and plans of sustainability, if we are going to bring this planet 
forward before these great, cataclysmic events take place.  This seems like 
a very large task to take the one job that is unique to us, and have the 
courage to stand for it, but it is very important now.  I do appreciate your 
words of hope.  Thank you.

(Feeling your way along)

MICHAEL:  Yes, my son, sometimes it’s as if it is a totally opaque midnight 
in your soul and you can only feel your way along a very real path.  This is 
what you are reduced to at times: just feeling your way along moment to 
moment, having the courage to let yourself wonder, what is my part to play?  
How can I in my life—in my sphere of influence—lead the way?  You are all 
reaching toward this in allowing yourselves to wonder what might happen.  
This is a good example—this genuine concern, of seeking to know how your 
fellows are forced to live.  The purpose of your meditations is to open 
yourself to all the aspects of your life, and wonder what your own deepest 
wisdom is calling upon you to do to set an example.

This is the real meaning of leadership.  This is the doing that truly 
convinces others so much more than anything you could say.  And your words 
are so much more powerful when they are completely congruent with what you 
are striving to do.  However paradoxical or contradictory it may sound, in 
this uncertain striving you are so much more effective when you can feel the 
security of spirit within you.  This is the courage to hope when you cannot 
see the way forward, to keep ever bright in your mind the ideal you would 
love to see come about.  It calls upon your creativity.  Think deeply about 
what you would like to see come about in your small sphere, in your society, 
in the world.

For this world is in all your hands.  You cannot expect the celestial family 
to step in and rescue you.  Yet you must accept on faith that this is not 
needed.  We do not use the word “adventure” lightly, for both Mother Spirit 
and I do realize, my children, what it is costing you, especially the more 
unfortunate members of your human society.  But this is the essence of your 
free will—that so much is put into your hands.

So trust, my son, that you are doing the right thing when you open yourself 
to feel the full weight of this responsibility.  Yet be not daunted.  
Continue to cherish hope in your heart, especially when you are just feeling 
your way along.  Does this help assuage the worry in your soul, my son?

Student:  Michael, your presence in my heart always helps with these 
worrying concerns.  I will continue to call on you to fill me in those times 
of need, even those times when I’m feeling good, because I do need you 
now—as I always have.  Yes, these words do help, and I thank you for them.

MICHAEL:  Know that is truly me you feel, and I’m glad to be there.  
Continue in my peace.

Student:  Yes, Michael, I don’t have any formal questions, I’m just allowing 
myself to evolve, to be open to what awaits me.  I went through one of my 
periods today of embracing impermanence, knowing that some of my customers 
are old and will no longer be with us, and one day I will not have their 
friendship and be working in their gardens.  Those changes are inevitable.  
It’s my responsibility to allow this and be unimpeded in embracing the 
fullness of my actuality.

You’re right in what you say, that I am full of joy, but also 
apprehensive—fearful is what you said.  Because I feel both.  I do have high 
ideals, and it is scary at times to have these ideals, especially with the 
world the way it is now.  But as I said to Mother Spirit last week, I feel 
I’m no longer of this world; it no longer holds me.  So, this is where I’m 
at.  And I guess I would rather not be anywhere else, because I do feel the 
wisdom that is within me, that Mother Spirit validated, and said so last 
week.  I do feel it taking hold.

(Freedom from the great bugaboo of denial)

MICHAEL:  My son, for as much as you feel yourself expanding, and conceive 
of yourself as not being of this world, we have no fear of your floating 
away!  (much laughter all around)  You will find you are just in one phase 
of a big cycle.  But we salute your growing ability of recognition, 
developing the innate but often late-appearing ability you all have to 
accept or, as you put it, allow yourself to recognize where you are moment 
to moment.  With this allowance comes such freedom, freedom from that great 
bugaboo of denial.  For it does take nerve to look uncertainty in the eye, 
and then feel you were made for it!  (students’ rueful chuckles)  This is 
that sublime uncertainty with which our Father sees fit to encompass us all. 
  And so we honor his trust in us, his trust that we are able to rise to the 
occasions.

Student:  So it’s a trust in his certainty.

MICHAEL:  Indeed.  (more laughter all around)

Student:  What I meant by not being of this world, I’m  saying I am of this 
planet though.  (more laughter—“Are you sure?”—etc.)   Yeah, I am.  This is 
my home.

MICHAEL:  This is that stretch we’ve been calling upon you to make.  Some of 
your poets have expressed it well as having your feet on the earth yet 
daring to reach for those ideals.

Student:  Yes, to be open to a new paradigm of existence.

MICHAEL:  Now you’re getting poetic.  Yet there are certain truths that can 
only be captured in poetry.  That’s its purpose, and it is delightful 
indeed.

Those of you who are striving to be aware of the world situation, striving 
to be citizens of the planet and aware of what is happening to its more 
unfortunate members; and accepting deep in your hearts that, there but for 
the grace of God go I; daring to examine your own lives and wonder what you 
might do personally to help: this is that wonderful stretch that, however 
like a sore and aching muscle at times, does keep you in touch with the 
flexibility, the resiliency of life itself.

One of your great dancers once mentioned that to live in this flexibility 
just on a physical level—to keep stretching every day—you will, ironically, 
know more pain this way than someone who just lets himself or herself go.  
But then observe their grace of movement, even into their eighties and 
nineties.  Look at the youth they are tapping into each time they stretch 
into those limits of what their body can do.  Think of all that 
careful-minded attention and soulful valuing they are developing every day.  
So keep stretching.  Be not of this world in your spirit.  Just keep your 
feet on the ground, your hands in the soil—as I know you are.

Student:  Thank you for that.  I would like to allow the feeling-capability 
to be actualized so I can be of greater service.

MICHAEL:  Well, here comes the next person.  Be ready.  And be in my peace.
(very long pause, then, addressing another student:)  Have you anything you 
wish to share, my daughter?

Student:  I am wondering, how I can better be the person who would be 
leading my fellow folks to you?  What can I do to be dynamic and loving?  If 
you have any suggestions about how this could happen, I would be very 
willing to listen.  What can I do more?

(Doubt not—deep within)

MICHAEL:  Well, my daughter, I’m tempted to say—on a superficial level, 
doubt not so much!  But this is your way of opening yourself, of questioning 
yourself, of wondering.  It is even a very marvelous, self-forgetting way 
you do surrender to wonder.  I would say, carry on!  Your genuine interest 
in others, your delight in others has done you well.  You have known an 
enormously full life, full of people.  Your soul is brimming, my daughter, 
so fear not.  Just continue to be of good cheer, the laughing and sensitive 
and delightful person you can see mirrored in all those eyes that look to 
you with hunger, or fear, or just loneliness.  Just continue to let yourself 
go to meet them.  See and feel how Mother Spirit and I are right in there 
with you.  Continue being our hands that touch, and our eyes that see, and 
our ears that listen.   We do love you so very much.  So continue to let our 
love flow through you.  And doubt not in your core!  Just keep wondering.  
You’ve a long way to go; keep stepping off bravely.  Mother Spirit sends you 
her love.  Keep finding my peace.

My children, it’s been a full evening.  My heart is full with your love.  I 
can feel your hearts are full with mine.  What a life this is we share 
together!  Thank you, Father, for these children.  Thank you that I am their 
father as well.  Thank you for my soul-mate, Nebadonia.  What a treasure we 
all have in each other, in your loving arms.

Mother Spirit and I bid you a fond farewell in this particular form, but 
know that we are with you always, to the end of time.  Be in my peace.  Good 
evening.
