Opening
Prayer: Thank you for this opportunity Divine Parents to come together and circle up again in pursuit of you, our divine family, our divine loved ones. We understand that we are a part of your family and wish to come and be close to you at times like this, when we venture out in spirit. When we reach out in the darkness we reach for you, we take comfort when we find you. Let it be so even now as we reach out once again in faith as we stretch out our spirit self a little further knowing that we will bump up against you, we will feel your touch, we will come in contact with you as a result of our desire to do so. Let it be so, even now, thank you.
CHARLES: Greetings to you all my friends, this is Charles. Once again it is my pleasure to accept the invitation you provide by creating this forum, this opportunity that may be chosen and selected. I choose it with you and activate it and together we create it and it is so.
Lesson
CHARLES: I will have a few words to offer the conversation about how often times it appears as though there is an outbreak of opposition to anything which is introduced into the current paradigm of humanity. It is simply observable phenomenon that every new idea, every new movement forward is accompanied by a certain degree of resistance and opposition. This has been true throughout time and may be true for a great deal more of your human history. This is a normal and natural reaction of the individual to the prospect of change.
This notion of change and having to adapt and adopt new ways of thought, ideas, principles and understanding can be very unsettling to one; after all, one wears a pretty significant groove and is in a pretty deep rut about much of their thought patterns. So when they are confronted with the prospect of having to switch, change and forcefully exit from the status quo and the existing pattern, there is fear, there is trepidation, there is uncertainty and therefore there is doubt.
All these are triggered by the subtlest notion that ones paradigm may not be complete, may not be accurate, may not be correct, may not be the best possibility. It takes a person with much spiritual faith and conviction to honestly confront these opportunities for change and sidestep the automatic response of doubt and fear and re-channel the pattern to one of optimism and anticipation.
You see the residual thought pattern which is so ingrained in the human condition is a fear that something different will somehow be worse. The new thought pattern that needs introduced into the human thought stream is that change represents something which will be good and positive, advantageous, even righteous. Change is when you can choose those things, change is the momentum you use to get to those things, change is when those things are possible and potential.
So change represents the vehicle, the opportunity to move and choose and be and do. It should not be seen as the harbinger of difficulties or adversity in any way. The only adversity is when you struggle against it. When you position yourself in opposition to change you are positioning yourself for stress. Rather would it be beneficial to see change as the wave that rises up and position yourselves to catch the wave to take it and ride it, to use the energy inherent in this universal principle and have it propel you, have it provide your momentum.
If there was one thing I could help people with in their thought patterns, it would be this notion of apprehension around the notion of change being transformed into hope and expectation and excitement over the prospect of change. That is where the growth is, those are the times which quantify your experience. There will always be those in opposition, but to those who have great faith such as are gathered here, such only provides more impetus to follow yourselves, all of your spirit leadings. See where they will take you.
Be true to these spiritual pursuits, true unto yourself, true to your spiritual counterpart, your onboard partner, true to your relationship to your divine family. The truth of something is not determined by the judgement of others. The truth of anything will bear itself out. So keep this in mind as you contemplate that you are not necessarily on the same page with all of humanity about everything. There are distinct differences to be observed but they are merely that, distinctions and differences, they are far smaller than the similarities. Thank you for the opportunity to use this forum in this manner. I appreciate the partnership this provides. I now step down to allow an open forum, thank you.
MICHAEL: My dear ones, it is my desire to come among you now, I am Michael. I desire to fellowship with you and bring you my peace into your circle of friends for you have heard, wherever two or more are gathered, I am there too. I am made welcome in such a circle as this and I am grateful for the welcome that I feel.
I would come among you tonight once again, to ask of you my dear ones, if you would help me facilitate my desire, my desire to be among you in your lives, to be present with your sphere of influence as you will represent me, as you will speak for me, smile for me, bring words of peace and comfort for me, that you and I might do this together to touch all of those whose lives yours touch. With my presence, with my sense of peace I would leave with them. I ask for your assistance in doing this because you are in place, you are in position. It is your hands that might be used, it is your voice that can express the Father’s love for us. It is your eyes which may portray your understanding of the Father’s peace. It is your kindness which is divinity manifest.
You see, when I walked this earth, I had the opportunity to ask directly of those around me: Will you follow me? Now, I have the opportunity to come to each and every one of you in spirit and ask this same question. Will you follow me and even more I would bring you a second question: May I follow you? May I be with you throughout your day? May your ministry become our ministry? Will you allow me to join you as I have already welcomed you to join me? This is a partnership and I tell you plainly what my desire is. You will make known to me your desire. Know that I cherish your relationship, our relationship, the relationship between us, each one and everyone.
Thank you Father for these relationships, for the gift of grace that relationship is. Be with me as we watch over each of these, our beloved children. Join me as I attempt to guide and infuse my spirit into their journeys. Thank you Father for this gift of grace and for the love this represents. Now take my peace, be my peace, demonstrate our peace, own this peace, manifest this peace, play with this peace and know that I am there with you, involved as you will so allow. I leave you now in word only. I am never far and always do I hear your voice. Be in peace and love, farewell.
JONATHAN: Hello to you all, I am Jonathan basking in the glow as you all are of blessings from on high. It will never get old, this humbling yourself to divinity and each time it is refreshing and peaceful and lovely. I just wanted to let you know I was enjoying this with you and let you know that I sympathize with some of the feelings expressed about perhaps not being understood and I will simply remind all those involved that every great artist, musician, writer, poet, visionary, leader of any kind has had to strike out and maintain a vision, something that came to them in partnership with spirit and they’ve had to stay fast to this vision even though there may have been an uphill struggle to do so.
But there will be no other way about it with those who are intent in being spiritually sincere. They will stop at nothing to paint their painting, create their artwork, have their meditation, do what it is that is needful for them to do to express this truth that they hold in their vision. So whatever your truth is, you can do no wrong when you stick to it steadfastly. Your loyalty is seen as a spiritual devotion and it may come to pass that this spiritual devotion bears much fruit that is not evident in a current view of the circumstance. But you have enough faith, you realize that all will be right in the end, that as long as you are pursuing spirit then you are headed in the right direction.
And so it is, fear not so that you may err too badly when you position yourselves alongside your eternal aspect of self, that divine part of your being. When you align yourselves with that, your direction cannot be too erroneous. Be at peace with this knowledge, this conviction that you will be guided and steered. You will make adjustments to your heading but all the time you are approaching spirit, you are navigating the realm of spirit. Practice makes perfect and that is what your mortal experience provides ample opportunity for, practice.
Closing

Now take one last deep breath of awareness about this arena, what it feels like. Recognize the spirit sensation and then you may return at will to this forum, to this arena, this sanctuary of spirit. Thank you all for your participation, good day to you all.
