CCC

[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 -]

Michael 11.22.04

Marin TM Group

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)
