Session

Opening

Open the meeting softly, with welcome, to those who attend for the first time, to us eagerly waiting, listening. Take time to listen for yourselves, for the group, for each individual to search into their own heart and mind within the stillness provided by the group stillness. Yes, it is good to commit to the goal: to love and growing into love via the regular practice of stillness. We will be there with you every time. It does not matter if words are heard or spoken, what matters is the intention to listen for the word of god’s love to pass through you toward others.

Lesson

My love is with you Susan. I was pleased to be with Legion in your morning lesson of obedience to god’s will that you mend your body. Legion is quite a sergeant master, is he not? Boot camp with love. He noticed your attention wandering away from the tight constrictions which he would have you learn by choice, and so he willingly stepped aside and lovingly watched your detour into my lane of activity, the stretch, and the longer breath reaching within your body’s stretch. He welcomed you back, did he not? When you “remembered” him. Both modes of body building are required; we dance together, call us the army of yoga, the yoga army. The discipline of the military is to be strong. The discipline of yoga is for the body to be strong while breathin­g love. Yes, write to your friend to “schedule in” time for yoga, she has a light within. Alana

We have special words for Bob. That he continue to sing to god. The god within him that he knows so well. God as seen in the eyes and yearning hearts of men and women who come to hear him sing. His celebration of god will carry him far, even as the dolphins gather to hear the sounds of love’s vibrations, so will he attract the empty hearts that can be filled by his love. Music is the language of love filtered through the unspoken tongue. Children can sing endlessly without the need to bear the message.

Go on, David. Continue with your plan to know god. By garden, by word, by simple love and appreciation, you have the gift of god within you and I am here to say to you that I am well pleased in you, my son, I love you. Michael.

Your tears, my loved one, are the force of the living water of His love. And we laugh and smile and jump with you, yes hopping like the little child delighted to see grandpa, or daddy coming out of the surf, we are that delighted that you allowed yourself the full force of his light to shine within you and surround…..interruption of car door closing…tr stopped….

Closing

These last words came from Devina who responded to the tr’s spontaneous tears which turned into smiles and an inner ebullience. The tears were a response to a physical feeling, to a sense of overwhelming light, and to my mental conflict over the idea that “Michael” should be speaking. The idea that “Michael” was speaking to me, through me, just plain speaking at all in any way that I could be hearing, was overwhelming to me, on the order of impossible. I was filled with self-doubt and fear of manipulation, almost equal to the feelings of love and celebration.. There was a brief “war” which love quickly “won,” by Devina’s intervention of reassurance and words of acceptance, as well as the my own inner acceptance which came with the image of a child hopping in play and with total exuberant joy. When the tears ceased and turned into joy, I felt pure gratitude.
