>>>>>
>>>>> Teacher: Elyon, Michael
>>>>>
>>>>> T/R: Mark Rogers, Cathy Morris
>>>>>
>>>>> Elyon: [Mark] Hello again my dear friends, this is Elyon here to  
>>>>> join you once again and to bring my contribution to this  
>>>>> glorious pot-luck banquet that you furnish when you agree to all  
>>>>> meet like this and bring your spiritual nourishment to be shared  
>>>>> amongst all. More and more I find myself coming to a banquet  
>>>>> such as this and simply enjoying sitting back and sampling the  
>>>>> nourishing contributions that you all bring, to my great  
>>>>> delight. Truly these offerings that you bring represent  
>>>>> spiritual truths which have become flavored and augmented in  
>>>>> their representations of the principles that they would portray.  
>>>>> More and more I find myself desiring to reflect on some of the  
>>>>> offerings brought to share as I believe these contributions  
>>>>> represent active and meaningful current thought patterns which  
>>>>> may be embraced and expanded upon as I would add a side dish or  
>>>>> salad to the main course.
>>>>>
>>>>> So I will pick up a helping of what was offered and reflect on  
>>>>> its portrayal of spiritual values. This whole notion you have  
>>>>> brought to the banquet today of 'normal', what 'normal' is, how  
>>>>> 'normal' changes, what 'normal' evolves from and into and how  
>>>>> you would even attempt to define such a concept is indeed a very  
>>>>> valuable train of thought for as you have explored in your  
>>>>> discussion, this whole idea of 'normal' is rather a myth; that  
>>>>> is, it is only representative to the one making the observation  
>>>>> and only current in the time the observation is made. That  
>>>>> anything could be considered 'normal' is only in relation to all  
>>>>> that exists out there.
>>>>>
>>>>> In fact you have seen normal constantly morph from one  
>>>>> definition to another, sometimes taking years or a generation  
>>>>> and sometimes happening instantly or overnight because as you  
>>>>> are determining, it is all based on the perception of the  
>>>>> observer. No two peoples strict definition of what normal is  
>>>>> will be identical as the information that they have which  
>>>>> conditions this interpretation will never be identical. What is  
>>>>> a constant thread running through this whole idea of normal is  
>>>>> that it is in flux, it is a rather moving target so to speak; it  
>>>>> is bound to change as your capacity to understand it changes.
>>>>>
>>>>> So if you approach this whole idea of the consideration of what  
>>>>> is normal with the idea that it is only a snapshot in time and  
>>>>> space that you consider, then you will realize the transiency of  
>>>>> any attempt to nail down any strict interpretation or  
>>>>> definition. Rather I suggest that just like a meeting today  
>>>>> where we have gathered for this 'pot-luck' to share spiritual  
>>>>> ideas and ideals, what we have in this very moment of this  
>>>>> snapshot of time and space is quite normal and yet as you have  
>>>>> even discussed, what happens here and now while being routine or  
>>>>> normal to those of us who consider it so, would certainly be  
>>>>> outside this definition by many others who do not embrace the  
>>>>> current reality that we share.
>>>>>
>>>>> Nevertheless, I submit to you that what we do here now is normal  
>>>>> and to others, what they do in their moments in time and space  
>>>>> will be normal for them and there will be no contradictions in  
>>>>> both of these truths. This realization should help you embrace  
>>>>> with greater capacity, the relative nature of normal or truth or  
>>>>> even beauty or even goodness when all of these things are  
>>>>> conditioned by the observer, by the one who wields the will to  
>>>>> declare it so. Many a hardship has been endured on your world by  
>>>>> those who have been declared outside of normal and persecuted  
>>>>> for their differences in belief or action, when to the more  
>>>>> evolved spiritual being, all such variations on reality are part  
>>>>> of what constitutes the whole which in the grandest definition  
>>>>> is truly normal.
>>>>>
>>>>> Normal must be enhanced to include all that is for if it were  
>>>>> not part of the gigantic plan created by the Father, it would  
>>>>> not exist. So I encourage you all to, when in consideration of  
>>>>> what normal is or might be, view the broadest possible range of  
>>>>> perspective to interpret such fleeting conditions as you might  
>>>>> consider normal in one time or in one place, realizing that at  
>>>>> no other time or place would these conditions appear in the same  
>>>>> light and be observed under the same circumstances. I found that  
>>>>> offering at the pot-luck today quite tasty and useful.
>>>>>
>>>>> Another one I would comment on, since you have graciously  
>>>>> offered me this opportunity, would be the very useful idea of  
>>>>> using the different forms of 'presence' in an attempt to have a  
>>>>> quick method of orienting yourself to provide you quick access  
>>>>> to your spiritual plane. I will borrow these terms in faith that  
>>>>> they are offered for this purpose. When I refer to these I am  
>>>>> referring to the idea of first:
>>>>>
>>>>> Coming into the 'present.' This is often accomplished as a step  
>>>>> of stillness or meditation where one focuses on the present  
>>>>> moment, often using the breath or the body to bring the mind  
>>>>> into focus and consideration of the exact moment at hand or the  
>>>>> 'present.'
>>>>>
>>>>> The next step would be to allow the mind to focus on the  
>>>>> 'presents,' that is the gift provided of this life and all the  
>>>>> opportunities that abound, and establish a connection to spirit  
>>>>> with the attitude of gratitude for all the 'presents' you have  
>>>>> received in your life.
>>>>>
>>>>> The third step is to relax and let yourself drink the cup of  
>>>>> spiritual 'presence,' the 'presence' of your Divine Parents, the  
>>>>> 'presence' of God the Father.
>>>>>
>>>>> These steps illustrated here today and brought to be shared at  
>>>>> this pot-luck are a serviceable method that may be employed to  
>>>>> be used as stepping stones in the process of gaining spiritual  
>>>>> alignment and access. I found this dish quite tasty as well and  
>>>>> I just thought I would reflect on the offering and bring it more  
>>>>> into the consciousness of others by use of making it part of  
>>>>> this official record.
>>>>>
>>>>> As you see, you have provided the nourishment here today, you  
>>>>> have brought the concepts to bear in this arena. I have merely  
>>>>> made them public, I  have merely borrowed from you these  
>>>>> spiritual truths and principles and reflected on them in a more  
>>>>> public forum but they came from you, they originated from the  
>>>>> participants in this group and I only access this forum and  
>>>>> accept this privilege to elevate these concepts for  
>>>>> consideration for those who have ears to hear. Thank you for the  
>>>>> opportunity to share this bounty with you, to receive this  
>>>>> spiritual nourishment and to be a part of this group. I now  
>>>>> respectfully step down to allow this forum for use by others.  
>>>>> Thank you.
>>>>>
>>>>> Michael: [Mark] Hello my dear ones, I am here to come among you.  
>>>>> I am your Father Michael and I offer you my recognition of your  
>>>>> observation of my service to your world which you observe on  
>>>>> this Easter Sunday at a point you all remember as the point  
>>>>> where I rose from the tomb and for all time changed the world.  
>>>>> Before my act on this day so many years ago, it was not part of  
>>>>> mankind's thinking that one could die a mortal death and then  
>>>>> rise from such a state. But after this day, the entire world was  
>>>>> made aware that there was a new 'normal,' a new state of being.  
>>>>> You well recall, in my life, my statement to all those of my  
>>>>> time and even to you now in this time, that you would do all  
>>>>> that I have done and more. I stand by my statement.
>>>>>
>>>>> You are indeed rising, even now, from the slumber of ignorance  
>>>>> and inexperience and before my very perception, rising into your  
>>>>> more complete self, exhibiting your spiritual awareness and your  
>>>>> spiritual presence as the spring flowers that rise to bloom at  
>>>>> this time of year. Likewise will you do exactly as I did on this  
>>>>> day when you rise, from your tomb of slumber at your time of  
>>>>> transition to begin your work anew, to strike out on your new  
>>>>> spiritual progress. Likewise will you be born again of the  
>>>>> spirit as I was. So it is ever true that you will do all the  
>>>>> things that I portrayed to you in your own time and under your  
>>>>> own circumstance. What was natural and normal for me to do in my  
>>>>> day, in my snapshot of time and space will be different for you.  
>>>>> Your normal will be conditioned by your snapshot in time and  
>>>>> space; nevertheless my statement remains true; you shall do all  
>>>>> that I am able to do in due time.
>>>>>
>>>>> And so on this Easter Day, when you consider my service to your  
>>>>> world and how it must have been amazing and exhilarating to  
>>>>> discover that I had indeed risen and left the tomb, consider  
>>>>> that this is what is transpiring to you day by day, hour by  
>>>>> hour, as you rise from your unawareness into your awareness and  
>>>>> as you are reborn in spirit day after day. Take this awareness  
>>>>> with you that this is an ongoing process, the laying down of one  
>>>>> 'normal' and the picking up of another. And so it shall be and  
>>>>> so you shall make it with the exercising of your gift of  
>>>>> freewill and the choosing that brings you the opportunities and  
>>>>> circumstances to rise again, to be reborn, to strike out anew.
>>>>>
>>>>> Every year you are graced with such signs as your trees and  
>>>>> grass coming into bloom and your flowers rising and blooming to  
>>>>> remind you of this cyclical nature. Think of me when you see  
>>>>> this rebirth and re-growth and even more, think of you for you  
>>>>> are as well being reborn and having new growth season after  
>>>>> season and in this way you become strong with many good and  
>>>>> strong roots and many a flowering bloom to demonstrate to the   
>>>>> universe your fruits of your spiritual growth. It is so. Drink  
>>>>> this cup with me, of joy that it is so. Live your lives in the  
>>>>> full awareness that it is so and even use your co-creative  
>>>>> capacity to guide this inevitable spiritual principle to its  
>>>>> best fruition.
>>>>>
>>>>> Thank you Father for the creation of this constant renewal that  
>>>>> we see and feel in our lives, in our experience. May we never  
>>>>> fail to appreciate the significance of the opportunity and the  
>>>>> chance that is presented to us each time we observe this change  
>>>>> in season, in orientation, in direction. May we ever be  
>>>>> attentive in this process and may we ever use our will as  
>>>>> fulcrum in this process to guide and direct in your direction  
>>>>> Father. May that be the instrument of our will, may it be our  
>>>>> will that this be so. May all those with spiritual eyes perceive  
>>>>> what has been offered here and all those with ears to hear feel  
>>>>> in their hearts what has been offered here. My peace I leave  
>>>>> with you, the Father's love I share with you. Thank you, farewell.
>>>>>
>>>>> Cathy: I wish that we could send the peace of this moment to the  
>>>>> whole of our world.
>>>>>
>>>>> Michael: [Cathy] Rejoice in the connections we share. In all the  
>>>>> steps of your day I am with you. Always will my Spirit of Truth  
>>>>> lead you to new parameters of living. It is the intended purpose  
>>>>> of the Spirit of Truth to infuse you with insight and guide you  
>>>>> into new revelations of your spiritual capacity. As we gather  
>>>>> today to commemorate the end of my mission on this world, be  
>>>>> looking forward for the new opportunities for you to act as my  
>>>>> ambassadors. I will uphold you in the expression of your new  
>>>>> vision of truth for this world. Always am I available to assist  
>>>>> you in this activity. As we actively live in the brotherhood of  
>>>>> my kingdom on Urantia, I will be step by step acting together  
>>>>> with you in the daily action of your ambassadorship.
