Dear Michael and Mother Spirit: Merry Christmas! We do love that particular adjective assigned to this wonderful time of year. For all the serious things going on all around us–especially this COVID-19 business that we are all involved in–it is nice to be reminded that it is good to be merry. It is good to be happy with the deep, spiritual value of a thing called fun.
And so it is: “God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen. Let nothing ye dismay.” And I think there is another one: “Oh Come All Ye Faithful, joyful…” So let us be full of joy this Merry Christmas.
Definitely in this sometimes sad and tired old world of ours, we can always use a bit of merriment, a bit of joy, if only for a few brief moments among some poor folks. At least they can know some lightheartedness and joy just in being alive and having each other. It’s for our friends and family–to be thankful for them. So, Michael, I will turn things over to you with our deepest appreciation and love. Amen.
Michael: Good evening, my children. Indeed, it is a merry time. Mother Spirit and I “most heartily concur” with that emotion. Sometimes your various religious activities are rightfully somber and deeply thoughtful, so it is good to remember and re-invigorate yourselves with merriment. It helps you realize that life is truly a gift, for all that it takes to maintain your own and those of your loved ones.
(Life’s merriment)
It’s a thankfulness for the pure gift of life itself coming right from our Father, reminding you that you are involved in life–a transcendent quality that cannot be defined or pinned down in any way except to say: It is ongoing! It just keeps going, with a promise of forever for your human order of being–forever and ever.
So keep growing. Keep experiencing more and more. And on a clear, starry night, look up there and realize that is where you are headed. Tonight is a little review of all that is spiritually involved in your merriment, and love, for the life that extends everywhere.
(The Trinity)
It starts with a Trinity at the center, for there is a center to everything. There, there are three personal, eternal, infinite beings beyond time, beyond any final cognitive grasp. Yet we acknowledge them, and use words to point at this Trinity, first of a Father who endows all of us with a touch of his own personal uniqueness of being. He peoples the whole universe with trillions of trillions of trillions of unique, personal beings.
Then there’s an Eternal Son of his, a co-equal being who endows all his Father’s personal beings with creative spirit, the hallmark of personality which enables them to be free, free of antecedent causality in the midst of a whole physical universe that is ongoing by the most strict and absolute Natural Law. Creative spirit is something new, something new coming out of each personal being–their power.
Third is the Infinite Spirit, the creator/mother of the cosmic mind connecting personality and creative spirit to material reality—even living bodies–throughout all of time and space. There are her daughters, the Creative Daughters of the hundreds of thousands of Local Universes throughout creation.
As we get down to an individual planet–each a unique sphere like your own world of Urantia–you have the absolute spiritual reality of God’s omnipresence. Yet too, not only is the whole Trinity omniscient and omnipresent throughout time and space, you also have the individualized presences of God in each person. We call them Thought Adjusters because they can actually adjust your thoughts by giving you greater ideas. These are the individualized presences of God in every human being.
This undisputed absolute presence of God in each human being, for their own guidance, is actually part of them. It’s part of human being going clear back a million years ago to the very first human beings to receive his presence.
(Guardian Angels)
Think of the Guardian Angels of the billions of people on Urantia. These are guiding seraphim who also have such a function of guidance in your lives. They are discreet personal beings that you can tune in to and feel their company. And you can trust in them for all they do with your continuing existence after death. Your Guardian Angels play a part in your reincarnation on the mansion worlds. They offer an epiphany of your whole lifetime of experience, from their point of view. They contribute to your reincarnation, right along with your Thought Adjuster, your own presence of God who is the co-creator of your human soul. It’s this collaboration of a presence of God with a Guardian Angel that re-personalizes you and gives your personality a way of continuing on indefinitely–by your choice.
Next, of extra-terrestrial visitors/inhabitants–you might say–are other angels, the Angels of Progress who have been around since the very beginning of the human race. Their influence has been enormously important in the cultural evolution of the races.
Think of the Midwayers. Five hundred thousand years ago the Primary Midwayers came about when a Planetary Prince’s corporal staff—special men and women–found a non-sexual way of producing these creatures who have been around ever since. Later on came another spiritual contribution to your world–Adam and Eve—a perfect male and female designed to have thousands of children who would biologically up-step the aboriginal human folks. With them came along the Secondary Midwayers who have been around for tens of thousands of years.
Then several thousands of years ago, a Melchizedek–Machiventa Melchizedek–incarnated to reinstitute the world’s ideas of monotheism–one God—which were in danger of dying out. He re-invigorated the concept, becoming the Sage of Salem for hundreds of years.
(Life Carriers & Mother Spirit)
Yet a billion years before this, the Life Carriers came and actually started life on your world, then shepherded its evolution right on down to the pre-programed–you might say–evolution of the first human beings. Themselves guided along by Mother Spirit, together they guided this evolution so that one day there would arrive an announcement from on high, “Congratulations!–Life Carriers of Urantia. You have evolved free-will creatures.” Some of those original Life Carriers are still here.
My dears, these examples are to give you again a feeling of the enormous spiritual community that is all around you. They have always been so much a part of the human story, giving their loving impulses to you to keep things growing and advancing.
This is the evolution of civilization, right on down to the present day with your science having you living in outer space, once upon a time standing on the moon, and replacing living, beating hearts in another’s chest. Through it all, both my own presence and Mother Spirit’s have been encouraging you to realize this thing called “free will.” Really feel yourselves/experience yourselves as creative spiritual beings; then accept this response-ability. It’s your ability-to-respond, to co-create your own life along with what life offers. You can know not only your uniqueness but also the God-given quality of your very essence–your personality, who and what you are.
This is what my life among you as Jesus was most designed to illustrate. It was my greatest joy to live among you and have true friends, many of whom would, in their own time, give up their lives for the truth of what we shared. Here again I encourage you to read about my life in your wonderful Urantia Book. It goes into so much more enormous detail that is not included in the New Testament of your bibles.
(Jesus’ Followers)
I’ll just mention here the Women’s Corps of over three hundred devoted women who were such a large part of our lives back then, many of whom witnessed the true miracles that I performed. But then an even greater miracle were those who had such enormous courage to open themselves to what I had to preach and say. And follow me, often giving up so much–sometimes their own family and friends–to cling to the truth that I was offering? It was of an universal love among all peoples, Jewish and Gentile, even the despised and much hated enemy I was so terribly accused of extending my love to.
Think what courage it took for so many of my followers when a good part of the folks simply thought of what I was preaching, “Well, it’s just too good, too ideal, too impractical. It will never go anywhere.” And there were those who simply thought I was beside myself, out of my mind, some kind of raving lunatic preaching about a universal love of God’s for every man and woman.
And even now, it takes courage for each of you to open your heart to all of those you encounter, especially now in your modern civilizations of encountering just in passing so many individuals you have never seen before and will never see again. Still, to be there, to offer that smile, offer that human touch? To acknowledge and glory in the fact that here is another God-created personal being, as unique as you? What good it does your own soul to open like this and acknowledge even those strangers you come across in your busy lives.
There are so many things, my dears, especially in this Christmas time, that are intrinsically self-rewarding for those of you who are able, and have the courage, to open yourselves in all true humility. You acknowledge the enormous reality surrounding you. It’s not only this world at this time and particular phase of your civilization, but your writing your own personal life with your family–those who literally came right out of you and from you. It’s these friends of yours, your school mates, your neighbors. It’s even some of those beloved characters in the hundreds of movies you have been able to see–those portrayals of different human lives that so fill your souls. It’s the blessing of living in the year 2020.
This is why Mother Spirit and I wish to invigorate you and tease you to come out and enjoy all these blessings of life. Imagine the enormous love connecting the whole spiritual world, radiating out from God, and the Eternal Son, and the Infinite Spirit. Theirs is an intense radiation from the center of all things throughout all of time and space, literally bathing your personality and your soul, encouraging your creative spirit.
This loving, connecting force is tying everything together, just as universal gravity ties every physical aspect of the creation together. It’s a personal force tying all personalities together with mutual regard and a mutual well-wishing.
(The Power & Rewards of Love)
For this is what love is: the desire right from God, and right from your own creative personality, of wanting the best for another. The power and reward of love, of this connection, is to have so many dear friends you have known, now in your soul as you are in theirs–forever by your choice and theirs.
So on this Merry Christmas let us be truly happy. Let us enjoy the most wonderful spiritual thing of all, the pure cotton-candy of the soul–this thing called fun. And thank our Father for creating this possibility as well. Now if you have any comments or questions, these are my delight.
Student: Well, just a comment. Since this is your delight, we wouldn’t want to disappoint you (laughter). What–as it were—a divine message!–divine in all senses of the word, both colloquial and celestial! It’s been an extraordinary lesson, an extraordinary experience that you have given us. Thank you.
(Romp Around the Universe)
Michael: You are welcome, my son. I was tempted to do a little Romp Around the Universe tonight, just to remind you of how big it all is, how so enormous it all is, and yet how it is all tied together by those singular Personalities whose delight it is to have created us. Then there’s the fact you can have each other with warm hugs–perhaps forestalled a bit now with this virus rampaging around. But in time those hugs will come again. So be in my love.
Student: Thank you, thank you.
Student: I wanted to ask a question. You mentioned our Guardian Angels have a part in moving us to our next round. Does that mean our Guardian Angel helps us get to the mansion worlds?
(Guardian Angels again)
Michael: Well, my dear: not so much. You automatically get to the first mansion world. That is “in the cards”–you might say. That is just part of “The Program” for you. Your personality is held sacrosanct by God during the transition period between your death and your resurrection. But your Guardian Angel will be right there with your Thought Adjuster, and it is these two that do the major part of resurrecting you.
The presence of God, co-author as your soul, is literally how, as you regain consciousness, you will know immediately who you are and what you have done in your past. This is a big part of the reason why we say you will never, in all eternity, forget this startling, amazing realization-moment that: You still are! You have survived, and it is you!
You are on an amazing world that you will walk out into, but it is your Guardian Angel who has provided an additional dimension to your life from her more spiritual point of you. So when you regain consciousness you will be a much more spiritual kind of being. You will still be a very physical being, a biped walking around on a physical world, but you will immediately know that you–your personality, this God-given part of you–has continued, and will continue on.
This spiritual epiphany of your life is the part your Guardian angel provides. In time you will be able to visualize Seraphim, but at first you are not spiritual enough yet. You can only kind-of feel their presence. But you will be able to visualize and associate with the junior angles—the Cherubim and Sanobim—that we call Morontia Companions for this very reason. In time, as you become more and more spiritual with more and more experience in this magical-seeming realm, you will be able to start visualizing the Seraphim; and then, in further time, even the higher spiritual beings.
This contact with discrete, personal angels becomes one of the main ways you will grow, my dear. You will be taking on the realities of these higher spiritual beings with their multi-dimensional, extra-human attributes. In time, as you come to associate with them, and hang out with them, and enjoy life with these higher spiritual beings, you will yourself go through hundreds of small incremental changes in both your physical and spiritual being. But right off the bat?–yes, your Guardian Angels have much to contribute to your understanding of the life you lived. They are part of you, in this sense. Does that make sense?
Student: Yes. Beautiful, and it makes perfect sense. Thank you so much.
Michael: Right. You are bound for the mansion worlds just by living your life here. It is all in The Plan. Be in my Peace.
Student: Thank you.
Michael: OK, my dears. I invite you to look up and read that part of the Urantia Book that deals with your Guardian Angels. There is that delightful paragraph about the fact your Guardian Angels aren’t here just to sooth all your hurt feelings or to make things easy for you. If anything, they are here to make your life more difficult for you, to encourage decisions. This is how you most truly grasp life itself–by the choices you make. It is the choices you make–even more than your abilities–that really determine who and what you are.
Student: Thank you, Father. I know how I felt when I read that in the Urantia Book. I went, “What? What? Did I read that wrong?” But the book also brings me to being grateful for being born in this time—in Jesus’ Correcting Time. With all the difficulties, I still know that you and Mother Spirit are here at every turn. And Jerry, thank you for T/R-ing.
Michael: Well, my dear, you are welcome. The Urantia Book is a wonderful gift to the human race, especially about beings like Mother Spirit and her local spirits–their origin and the part they play. Mother Spirit’s Mind/Spirit Adjutants are actually part of you, helping you know things–like how to experience and understand. She even helps to the degree of worship—how to be appreciative and thankful for life. At the deepest, broadest level she gives you wisdom to see the connections that tie it all together.
(Mature Enough for the Urantia Book)
Mother Spirit’s contributions to the kinds of beings you are, are so wonderfully articulated in the Urantia Book, plus of course, so much about our own Local Universe and the universe itself. It is a wonderful gift to the human races. The Urantia Book itself signifies a certain maturity of your cultures, that you are now ready for such a revelation. So, thank you, my dear.
Student: Merry Christmas, Michael.
Michael: Thank you. It was definitely my joy to be among you as one of you, once. I remember times of sitting down and bouncing a baby on my knee, and marveling–as a human being–what a transcendent miracle this little creature was.
Student: Indeed, indeed.
Michael: Well, my dears, if there are no more questions or comments, let me leave you with the feeling of what my friends meant to me. These were not only my apostles, but as Jesus I was also blessed to be able to perceive all the higher spiritual beings and know–by way of what is called Universal Reflectivity–this life I was living day-by-day, and sometimes hour-by-hour, was also being lived right along with me by so many. All the higher spiritual beings were able to have my life right along with me.
(You Too Are Spiritual Beings)
My life is truly a gift from my Father, as is yours. In this we are very much the same; we are very equal–you with a Creator Son of God. Because, my dears, you are also creator sons and daughters. You too are spiritual beings endowed with the power of creativity.
You too are the co-authors of your own lives and souls. For this we thank our Father. This is our worship. This is truly what fulfills us to overflowing by way of his grace and his overflowing creativity. So: thank you, Father. Thank you for all the folks I have known, and continue to know. And thank you for creating their ability to know you as well.
Good night, my dear ones. Mother Spirit sends you her love. I bid you to continue merry in my peace. Good night.
