Oliver:  My Creator-Brother, meet these two brothers before you with 
their hearts wide open and their minds alert to enter into dialog 
with you, or with one of your huge crew of teachers. They tirelessly, 
patiently and acceptingly work with us, if we so request. We want to 
better know the truth of what our Father's will is for us in this 
life. Please converse with us.

MICHAEL:  I am Michael. I am the truth. Know me, I am the way and the 
light of life. Know me, and you know the truth. I am the light of 
love. All that you see, all that you know that is good, you know 
through me, my little brothers. Know me and you serve me well. Liken 
unto me, as were my disciples, my dear servants; liken unto me and 
you shall know the eternal truth.

Yes, my beloved ones. The journey is long. The joy that you will 
bring to others in bringing the light of truth to them, your brothers 
and sisters, you also shall share in this joy as I share in the joy 
of knowing your hearts. Know me and you do my Father's will, for in 
knowing me you shall surely know my Father. Pause, my dear ones, in 
calm reflection. See my light, feel my warmth. Become.  [pause]

Yes, I saw you today in green pastures. Your presence was deeply 
felt. You know my creation. You know its value.  [Note: A local 
farmer had shown Richard and Oliver his beautifully located land with 
pastures and brooks, and gifted them with plant cuttings, wild 
orchids and yucca.]  Share the light of my light and of my love with 
all whom you might meet and love. Walk in green pastures, lay down 
besides still waters, enjoy the light of the day, the stars of the 
night. My creation with my Father is a gift. Take time to pause and 
to look with your hearts upon the beauty of your wonderful planet. 
See the good within my creation. Miss not one moment, for in seeing 
my creation you know me. In sharing the beauty of my creation, you 
begin to understand my truth, the truth of the essence of my FatherŠ 
Be ever willing to converse with each other, and with me.

Oliver:  When I walked through your green pastures today, I felt your 
presence very strongly. I thank you for your heart-opening 
invitations to all of us to communicate with you. As you know, your 
many suggestions to make ourselves assessable to you, have allowed me 
to accept you more fully into my life. Time and again I am astonished 
how easy it is to call you into my heart. I thank you for waiting for 
me for so long. Your patience with me allows me to be better patient 
with others who are also waiting to know you.

Today I would like to ask for your guiding inspiration on how we can 
better serve others at this stage of our journey. Teacher Abraham 
communicated with Richard the other night, and he seemed to encourage 
us to work together. He seemed to suggest to open Richard's new house 
for Urantia and Teaching Mission-related service. Would you please 
talk with us about how you view these possibilities, or what you know 
we should understand at this point? Thank you, Michael.

MICHAEL:  My heart is open to your warm message. You must remember 
that any and all service you now offer to your brothers and sisters, 
to those who are distraught, alone, those who live in poverty, who do 
not see the light, is right for serving my Father's will. Your plan 
is wonderful. Discuss with your celestial teachers and your helpers 
how you, and your brothers and sisters, can serve each other 
lovingly. If you choose to set up a tent in the desert, do so, and I 
shall be there. If you choose to build a temple to my Father, then do 
so, and I shall be there with you. If you choose to walk in green 
pastures and sit in the shade beneath a tree, to peacefully search in 
simple surroundings for my presence, I shall be there with you.

Do not be too anxious to fulfill a large plan. Work with each other. 
Ask always for guidance. There is no requirement to commit yourself 
to a large plan. Be, as I have asked my disciples, simple like 
children in your thinking. Let your hearts, along with your spirits 
and minds, direct you to my love. Take risks, if you like, be 
courageous, plan carefully, I and my helpers will be there to assist 
you. For there are many groups and individuals you may reach out to 
with a loving and open hand.

Think also of healing. You, my brothers, have strong potential to 
heal. Heal thyselves first, then heal others.

Remember to welcome at all times into your hearts, into your homes, 
the oppressed, the poor, the destitute. These are your brothers and 
sisters who need you. You do my will by caring, by reaching out to 
those less fortunate than yourselves. Take care in you planning, 
direct my love through your work to those who need you most. Remember 
the gift of joy is in serving those who need you most. Dear brothers, 
have you anything else to ask me? If so, I am listening.

Oliver:  Master, in the daily outworking of our lives we come across 
many whom we can minister to and help in many ways. The question 
comes up time and again: Should this service be done only 
individually, or is it better to link up with others to create some 
kind of organizational ministry or even church? What I am trying to 
discern is this, how can we be most effective in doing your will?

MICHAEL:  I have read your thoughts and know your heart, my son, even 
before you speak. I know your will. I know your strength. Each 
person, who serves, each being has a talent, for God has given unto 
each one a talent or talents. These talents may or may not need 
organization. But your greatest talent is the talent of the Spirit, 
to share with your love. If your computers, your technology, your 
books, your writings, if these lend strength to the grace of your 
talents, then, by all means, serve me in this way. Use your 
technology wisely, along with your talents. For those of you, and all 
your brothers and sisters, who do not have your talents, they will 
give and work and share with their talents.

Remember your dear sister, Mother Theresa, her talent was one of the 
most lustrous and most divine of many of my servants on your planet. 
She is with me now. She speaks to your hearts and she says to follow 
the dictates of compassion for those who are less fortunate. No 
religion is necessary. No organization is necessary, unless your 
heart, your mind, your soul tell you that this is the route by which 
you will best serve me. The dictates of your heart, in conjunction 
with my love and service to my Father, will guide you. Let your 
celestial hosts assist you. There are a multitude of ways, as many as 
there are stars, to serve me. Be open, talk amongst yourselves, yes, 
make hopeful plans, be joyful and trust that your way of service will 
conform with my Father's will. Be ever in communication with me, with 
our Melchizedeks, with any member of the Ancient of Days. Our 
celestial hosts and teachers are there for you to consult regularly. 
They are great masters in the making. And in learning with your 
teachers, you will find perfect and abiding guidance. I am there to 
watch, not to dictate.

Of free will, serve me as you choose, and the guidance will enable 
you to find our Source and Center. This is so long a journey, a 
journey of love. It is not the result, dear brothers, the joy is in 
the journey. The reward is in the very journey itself. So, in 
choosing and working together in agreement and accord with the 
vibrations of your heart and the directions of your teachers, you 
shall find where to tread and where not to tread. The path is surely 
guided by your obedience to my Father's will. If you have further 
questions, I await.

Oliver:  Your replies are marvelous to me. There is so much to 
absorb, and I wish to thank you with all my heart. There is one more 
aspect of service that I want to inquire about. Are we guided by the 
celestial hosts and guides to those that need us most, or are we to 
organize-not necessarily as an organization or church, but as a 
group, perhaps-to better use our energies and talents towards service 
to others and to find some of the "lost sheep"?

MICHAEL:  My dear friend, as you evolve you will learn that it is 
most effective to begin with the simplest technique. Could you heal 
today? Could you raise the dead, my son, tomorrow? Think of the 
journey you must make to breath life into the sick, to breath 
wellness into the dying. Take your time, begin with the simplest 
technique. The outreaching will always be there. Do not burden 
yourself. Live the righteous life. Let others see by your example.

What you are speaking of, dear friend, is known as a calling or 
vocation. Yes, you shall be called to my service, and that calling 
will be clear. There will be no doubt in the loving execution of your 
vocation. You will know, and your brothers and sisters will know when 
you are called upon. Remember, you are changing, my children. Let 
this change continue where it is helping and rewarding. You shall be 
called upon. Call upon me and you shall find guidance towards the 
truth of knowing the right moment. Remember, how I have spoken many 
times, "My hour has come." Each one of you shall have their hour to 
serve my Father. Be patient. Live me in the imitation of my life.

Oliver:  Thank you, beloved Michael. I bring before you one more 
question about our current Teaching Mission group here in Northern 
Costa Rica. Can you give us some direction or guidance if it is, for 
example, desirable to meet at regular fixed intervals as we have for 
a few years, or how some have suggested, to meet as moved by the 
Spirit but with announcements to those who have been interested in 
the past. Or do you see that a new phase has started and that there 
is no need to come together as a regularly-meeting group. I know for 
myself that my level to receive your love is many times enhanced in a 
group that comes together for the purpose of learning meanings and 
values, and to help in bringing more divine love down to this planet. 
Should we work to bring groups together? Is that your will?

MICHAEL:  My dear son, this is my will. Remember my disciples-they 
were a group, and I was well pleased when they were working together 
in harmony. My disciples were frustrated at times, some were lost. 
They could not as fully understand my teachings as you can today, but 
I gathered them. Yes, the people in your group need encouragement. I 
caution you, my dear sons, speak with each one that would partake of 
the group's service. Their willingness to participate will grow. 
There must be some regularity, there must be some diversion, sound 
them out, listen to their hearts. They will want to be in a group 
that bids to do my will. Be patient. Bring them together in right 
leadership, let each one share in the evolvement of taking 
responsibility. In communion-or as you call it transmission-with me 
and my Father and the teachers, you serve me well. How can they learn 
to serve me in your unique fashion unless you invite them? So, I say 
unto you, my beloved brethren, bring your groups together.

There will be acts of factionalism, teach love and you will tie the 
ones in your group. Make all welcome who will come. Love those who 
will not come. Welcome all, the poor and the rich; the fed and the 
hungry; the sick and the well; the joyous and the downtrodden. Bring 
them to your houses and your tables as you see fit to do my Father's 
will so you, by which you will be strengthened and encouraged.

Oliver:  Michael you are most beautiful and I love you. It is so 
beneficial to receive your help. You have alleviated much of my 
anxiety about group work. You allow me to choose. You give me such 
wonderful freedom of choice. You give everyone else freedom to 
choose. I just love to commune with you.

MICHAEL:  You are joy in my heart, my son. With communion with all my 
children from all the evolving planets, my heart is warmed. The light 
of my life is within you. We share this beloved creation of mine. The 
warmth and light of my heart is with you. You bring joy into this 
communion. Commune as often and with whomever you desire. All shall 
be welcome at my table. Let he who communes with me thirst not, nor 
let he be hungry, for on my table is the living water that all shall 
share with me. It is the water of truth and eternal life. Welcome all 
with strength and courage, that would come with their trials and 
tribulations and burdens. These are your lessons that teach how to 
share. Share with all that come into your groups, and with all that 
come not into your groups be equally loving and compassionate. Do 
this for me and you are my allies for eternity for serving my 
Father's will. I bit you peace. Bring you questions to me, whenever, 
but I ask you to prepare your questions carefully. Ask your heart for 
the answer. Your heart already knows because I am within you. Ask you 
heart, your Adjuster, the Fragment within, and you shall know the 
truth immediately.

Oliver:  Thank you from my heart-very, very much. I surely would have 
liked to meet you when you walked as Jesus on this earth. Thank you.

MICHAEL:  Peace be with you, my brother. I now walk on this earth 
with you, inside you. Beside the still waters and the green pastures, 
you see me everywhere for I am omnipresent as I live. Go in peace. Be 
calm through the night and awaken with joy, for you shall see and 
know the light.  (Oliver:  Thank you.)

Richard:  Thank you, Christ Michael, thank you so very much for your 
transmission. We thank you for the light, the stillness, the wind, 
the beauty of this wonderful country-we thank you for our good 
friends, the Costaricans-we thank you for the group membersŠ We have 
some direction, do we not?  (Oliver:  Yes, Sir.)  We will be in touch 
with you and hopefully you will be thereŠ

Oliver:  "Hopefully?"  He has said that he will always come when we 
are gathered in his name, and that he walks with usŠ

Richard [totally cracking up]:  I amŠ sorryŠ I thought he may be in 
need of a vacation sometimesŠ he can not always be on dutyŠ at least 
we should give him a breakŠ I am exhausted in the nicest wayŠ you are 
rightŠ we should not say "hopefully" any longerŠ after having 
experienced so much certainty from him and his teachers over all this 
timeŠ

Oliver:  He gave us such a mindful todayŠ such endorsed confidenceŠ 
such assuranceŠ we received his mantle of faithŠ the joy is ours and 
it is hisŠ

mmmmmmm
