Prayer: Dear Michael and Mother Spirit, We want to thank You for this series of lessons in which You’ve helped us realize the objectively stated spiritual truths in The Urantia book--how they apply to our subjective lives; in other words, how we experience these truths within us, and how we come to know them from the inside-out. We also thank You for reminding us of the enormity of God’s creation and the vastness of His spiritual family, of which we too are members. Amen.

MICHAEL: Good evening, My children, this is Michael. I gladly accept your warm welcome, and I welcome you to embrace Me with all your heart. Feel Me beating right within your own heart, for I come from the Father, and He is life to us all. This has been My great joy to be His intermediary, so to speak, to be a Father to you as He is a Father to all of us. I guess that makes Him kind-of your Grandfather. (laughter) But He is quite beyond time--neither old nor young, both here and there, everywhere. But of greatest concern and a source of devotion for you, My children, is the way He bequeaths a fragment of Himself to live within you.

(Your Thought Adjuster—your Mystery Monitor)

We have taught before how some of you bridle at the notion of having a Thought Adjuster within your mind. For you rightfully cherish your independence of mind, and We do encourage you to be a free thinker. Just last week Mother Nebadonia invited you to question sincerely what you know of as truth--however much it seems you have paid in raw experience for this precious possession of yours--these ideas and concepts of what is true. These very things She invited you to question to the utmost of your ability, to stay open and not close the books on what truth itself may be.

The truth of your Father Fragment being a Thought Adjuster is to make suggestions in your mind, to offer the connections from one idea to another, ever leading to greater truth. You often wonder: is it correct to refer to your Father Fragment as He or It? For you are informed that this is a pre-personal fragment of God that very literally takes on the living experience of your personality, and so weaves a counterpart to your human life. This spiritual counterpart is what you call soul. It’s also why We call it a very special kind of reality that We give the name Morontia. For as We see it, it has no exact English equivalent.

Your Thought Adjuster, being of the purest spirit, never coerces or in any way takes advantage of your immature being, for He looks forward to the time when He will fuse with your personality. From that moment on there is no one who can discern any separation. You two become one. And so He offers to adjust your thoughts to lead you to ever greater truth in anticipation of that day when He will join with you, and the universe will witness a new citizen of true eternal potential.

We also call your Thought Adjuster a Mystery Monitor for this is a two-way gift. This is God’s gift to you of eternal life, the means by which you will someday step out into that kind of adventure. At the same time it is the way by which God experiences your life. You have a wonderful saying that life is God’s gift to you; what you do with this life, with the free will He endowed you with, this is your gift to Him. So He who gave you life, and the potential for eternal life, also gave you free will, and is in no way whatsoever going to diminish His own gift. Hence We have our lessons encouraging you, enticing you, teasing you to be evermore open, to fearlessly question everything you possess by way of concepts and notions and understandings. Be ever willing to give up what you have for greater truth, even as you will some day give up your life itself--as you know it, for ever greater life.

Such is the nature of the demands put upon you day to day to keep body and soul together, that to relive just a few moments of your life, to experience a minute or two of some past experience, you more or less have to give up your present life. You have to sit down, close your eyes, maybe put on a piece of music that reminds you of some previous time and, Oh!--just for those few fleeting moments, relive just a tiny, tiny part of your past as if it were real, and really happening again. So this is what We mean when We say that your soul is enormous beyond your own comprehension or ability to access. And yet it is available to beings such as Mother and I.

It forms that completeness of your being that you can only access through faith, and trust in Us when We assure you it is yours. Like a very minuscule part of the Supreme Being--that you are, your soul is growing. Nothing you experience of spiritual significance--and keep in mind this is from your Father Fragment’s point of view; He sees you in your entirety--nothing of this value is ever lost.

The question arises: how do you contact this presence of God within you? This lesson tonight is meant to deepen your understanding of His nature and the relationship between you, what you each are giving the other. Part of the difficulty in experiencing your own Father Fragment is because you are so close. If you have notions of this being a completely separate, almost alien or foreign entity speaking to you from without in a very clear, distinct voice within your mind, although this does rarely happen, it is not something you should anticipate or be disappointed if it does not happen.

Most of you, if you are able to search your memory for moments of extreme crisis and difficulty, can recall how a sudden, very authoritative or unquestionable kind of realization literally saved your mind, quieted your anxiety, and soothed your frayed nerves--only because it was a very clear portrayal of the larger situation in which you were caught up. This saving grace had an unmistakable ring of truth to it because it worked! It did something! It changed you, and in changing you, changed the situation itself.

(What your Father Fragment has done)

This is what your Father Fragment is capable of doing. This is how He is able to adjust your thoughts to enable you to embrace a much larger, desperately needed truth. So don’t think of this Mystery Monitor as something apart from you, even if it is not something you can get hold of and possess; which is why We call it a—Mystery--Monitor. It is the presence of God within your mind that you invite as the dearest friend you have ever known. You invite this Presence by longing for your own deepest wisdom, supplemented by Mother Spirit herself.

The stillness practice that We have introduced is primarily a way of letting go of your more peripheral concerns, letting the surface of your thoughts and your attentions still, so that the deeper currents, where your Father Fragment lives, can be felt. So often this communication is a feeling, not some clear voice speaking in your mind; the deep feeling of who you are, and with Whom you have been since He came to live in you.

This is a source, My children, of what you most desperately need to know at times, so why not pay both of you the compliment of seeking truth before it is forced upon you? In this rough and tumble world you know, strive for sensitivity both within yourself and towards your fellows. This is the way to love. This is the way to accept yourself and others, so don’t feel shy about wondering, and then marveling at what you find.

As Mother said last week, once you acquire a body made of Morontia materials, and your Thought Adjuster’s help is not lost in so many biochemical currents of your mind, His presence will be so much greater, so much easier felt and experienced. Why not enjoy this now? Why not reassure yourselves that your soul is there and growing? This is what awaits you, My children, not only certainly in the future, but just as soon as you are ready for it now. All of Us in your spiritual family bid you welcome. And We thank you for your love.

If you have any questions or comments this evening, it is always My delight to have these conversations with you.

Student: Father Michael, this afternoon I had a session with my spiritual healer, Donna, (Ed: Donna D’Ingillo--Center For Christ Consciousness—the initial T/R for Michael and Mother Spirit to the Marin group) ) and she mentioned something, mentioned that Mother Nebadonia wanted to add a feminine aspect or compliment to me, which is fine with me. But I was wondering, if You could explain it, what exactly She meant? I’m pretty sure She didn’t mean female, but feminine. The Heavenly Father is also male and female, and quite beyond that. Would You care to comment?

(Embracing both the masculine and feminine)

MICHAEL: Yes, C, this is another way of looking at your psychology from the point of view of achieving cultural balance, or I might even put it: extra-cultural balance. All human beings are raised within a cultural context of what is male and female and, as you know, this varies greatly among the different races and cultures of the world.

In this, We invite you to go beyond the accident, the chance happening of the culture you were born into, to rise above it and achieve a balance of both male and female characteristics, as you understand them. The same would be true for a female in any culture. She should think of and consider her own ideas of what constitutes a male, and use Our familiar breakdown of human reality into its physical, mental and spiritual aspects. You can use this tool, C, by thinking about, not exactly female physiology, but certain physical ways that ladies go about their day--how they carry themselves, what they perceive, how they react to what they encounter.

And in the same way, consider their psychology: how do they think, why do they think this way?--although I know this has been quite a puzzle for you folks throughout your history… (laughter) …what does the other sex think, and why? Then consider the question spiritually. What is the sexual differential in the spiritual realm? For as you know, this bi-polarization exists not only with sexual beings, such as human beings and Material Sons and Daughters, but even the angels, the seraphim, also come in two distinct polarities; as do Mother and I.

So what is this polarity? I wouldn’t let the puzzling carry you to distraction, but the very wondering itself, My son, will lead you to a greater balance of ability, of response, of perception; as well as giving you an appreciation for those other human beings. Does this answer your question?

Student: It does, and brings up a lot more, to…

MICHAEL: Well, good! (laughter)

Student: …to look into. I have always looked on femininity, on the feminine, as a quality rather than a sexual orientation. And I’ve looked at the relationship You have with Mother Nebadonia as a balance, a unity, and the idea of being balanced appeals to me a lot. I don’t have any big questions now. I’m sure there’s going to be plenty on the way home. Thank You very much.

MICHAEL: Yes, My son, in thinking of the feminine as a quality, you’re already well ahead in the game. Just keep going. Never cease to wonder, for this searching will lead you to aspects that every culture tends to hide from each of these partners in life. It is this searching for a deeper understanding of what is both male and female, and the striving to actually put this balance into action, that enables you to transcend this particular accident of your birth--(Yes)--not only of being born male or female, but being born into a particular culture. Here of course you are truly blessed that your electronic media does present you, if you look for them, marvelous viewpoints into the other cultures of the world. So that too is part of the search. Be in My peace. (Thank You, Father)

Student: Dear Michael, if I may, I’m confronted often with people who make You too small, it seems, and our God too small, and are fearful of being free. I don’t know how to most lovingly and hopefully get through to them--what they’re missing by their fear. Could You give me some suggestions on how to respond better?

(Helping people with their concepts of God)

MICHAEL: Yes, My daughter. Try as best you can to keep in mind that what truly convinces is what We call a spiritual fragrance. Keep your own faith and perceptions of the greater truth strong and you will literally be this for them. You will be the spiritual reality they have not yet experienced. There is no greater gift you can give them than to keep your own faith strong. Be willing to question your own beliefs and perceptions even as you would wish they would do their own.

Now if you are literally confronting them, keep in mind, My daughter, that God lives within them. This Mystery Monitor, this Thought Adjuster of which I spoke this evening, recognizes you and what you, in this case, stand for--and stand in the place of. This would deeply mitigate what we’ve called a confrontation, for it transforms this confrontation into a free exchange between your own Thought Adjuster and theirs.

This is akin to planting spiritual seeds, and as you know, I instructed My own disciples that he who sows never knows for sure which seeds will bear fruit and which will not, for you have not this ability to discern. You sow your seeds and grant those you meet the freedom to accept this gift or not. This is in their hands, and God’s. We’ve even assured you that this attempting to present a larger view of our Father in no way abrogates their own freedom, for in this it is very much like a sincere prayer for someone else. You only hope their concepts of divinity and the Godhead will be expanded so that they might enjoy what you do already.

This hope on a spiritual level cannot in any way diminish their free will, so try to bring this spiritual reality right into your meeting, and grant them the freedom to be who they are. For in this acceptance of them--as they are--you will be more like God, and this is what convinces. They may not know or recognize the sources, for it will be not only you but their own Father Fragment within them. So as you trust in your own Father Fragment in your own soul, My daughter, trust in theirs, too. Does this help you?

Student: Thank You, Michael.

Student: Yes, Michael, my mother went over to England, to a psychic reader who gets a piece of clothing, and from it gets perceptions and understandings about the person; and so my mother asked some questions about me. She’s concerned about me and what’s going to happen to me as I get older, and all that. And she said something the psychic reader--it was all positive--but how my life is going to change, and how I’m going to be doing something different this year--changes in relationships and things.

My question to You is, because it’s not spoken of a lot, it’s not spoken at all in the Urantia book about psychic reading and all that phenomenon; so how much should one take to heart what is said? And what is it they are looking at?

(Psychic phenomena)

MICHAEL: Yes, D, this is a bit of what you call opening a can of worms…

Student: Yeah, I figured that. (laughing)

MICHAEL: …because so-called psychic phenomena run the full spectrum of human intention from the most spiritual, to even the most criminal--simple fraud. On the most spiritual end, you have individuals who are so in tune with their Thought Adjusters, with this deeper part of themselves, that they can intuit a great amount of truth about another individual by way of Thought Adjuster-to-Thought Adjuster communication.

Descending slightly from that, you have individuals of great spiritual, that is, truth-seeking intention who are so in tune with their own personality’s higher consciousness, again aided by Mother’s Adjutant of Wisdom, that in this way they also are able to intuit a great amount truth about another individual, just because they are, as I expressed tonight, so sensitive to this other personality’s presence. A little farther down the scale you have those who are just quite wise in terms of human behavior and psychology, who are able to offer another person great insights, and this you all share with your dearest and closest friends. It is what you call the quality of feedback.

So much for the intention of the psychic. With respect to the reception of this presentation, here, My son, you must utilize all you can lay your own hands on. Now in ascending order, use your own deepest wisdom and understanding of human behavior and psychology to get a read on this psychic’s intentions and abilities. Then if you are in tune with your own higher consciousness and spiritual nature--what Mother teases you with as the small crowd you are carrying along with you--of Her and My presence, your own Soul-Weaver--these present you with a kind of global or overall assessment of this other person’s abilities and intentions. So I would approach all this information just the same as with any other person, friend or relative stranger, that you encounter. It can’t hurt to be open; at the same time you do well to be extremely cautious in your assessment of the truth. It comes right back to you and what are your own intentions in opening yourself to this information? Is there a quality of recognition here that hints at a greater truth about yourself? Does this answer your question?

Student: Hmmm…Yeah… You now, I’ve always had reservations about spirits and what they are seeing. What they perceive about me is what they see now. But things can change. I can change in terms of my awareness, and my energy. And so what they say today may change tomorrow. I’ve had some people say things to me that didn’t ring true, or it was just too nebulous. So hopefully my mother sent some articles of clothing of mine and this lady will do a more thorough reading.

I’ve always been a little cautious, so what my mother has told me is what I have been inquiring about in my conversations with You and Mother, myself. That kind-of aids in my optimism about my future. In terms of relationships, she said my present relationship is not the one, but there will be another. I didn’t want to hear that because I am in a relationship, but there’s also that part of me that wants something different. So I’m kind-of optimistically cautious—putting my eggs in one basket.

MICHAEL: You are wise in seeing this as a tool for self-understanding, which is how you are using it. Even your own desire to embrace one suggestion, and reject another, tells you as much about yourself as does the suggestion itself, does it not? (Yes) Your next question was?

Student: This is about allergies. I seem to be around people in my circle who are taken over by allergies—dust, certain plants and trees, cats and dogs—just foods and things. It really takes them over and affects them emotionally; and physically, obviously; and even spiritually. It’s like they have a hard time functioning. For myself there’s a part of me that can understand and be sympathetic and compassionate about what they are going through, but there ‘s also part of me that says: What is their own responsibility?—in terms of overcoming…or taking a different approach to healing? So I’m just curious as to what is going on within a person so susceptible to allergies that prevent them from fully functioning as human beings?

(The holistic approach to allergies)

MICHAEL: I think you are reaching for something you already have, because you just expressed very well, and comprehensively, the way in which the human body and mind and spirit are so interrelated that only a holistic approach addressing all three can have any real effect. Allergies, or what you might think of as physical vulnerabilities to your environment, not only impinge upon the mind and spirit, but also in a closed loop of cause-and-effect are, as you expressed, tied together. A lack of spiritual peace and deep worship—real heartfelt, soul-felt appreciation for God’s creativity and His gift of life—this lack of appreciation, or worship, can affect both the mind and the body.

The psychology of how one relates to ones environment has a great bearing on these vulnerabilities, for in some of your more modern societies you are now encountering a kind of supreme irony. Whereas for most of mankind’s history people suffered terribly from a lack of cleanliness—for example: look how prevalent and early-manifesting are cataracts of the eyes when you are cooking your food over an open fire and, unavoidably at times, having your head in the smoke. But you now have the opposite extreme where some people are living so removed from the outdoors, especially as children, they become overly sensitive just from lack of exposure—physiological experience—with all the pollens, and dust, chemicals and things. Now there is some awareness of this in a modern saying you have that: A dirty child is a healthy child. A child that is allowed to go out and romp around in the outdoors can quickly acquire some immunity to all these irritants.

I think this was what you were reaching for, My son, when you were getting the intuition allergies have a lot to do with attitude, with experience, with the willingness to put up with them in small amounts in order to get some toughness with respect to them. Otherwise you are condemned to seek an ever greater remove from life itself, in the psychological and spiritual sense too. Between the body and the mind and the spirit is a round, closed loop of cause-and-effect: each influences, and is influenced by the others. Is this what you were reaching towards?

Student: Yes, it is. It seems to be playing out in my life as You have said. I’m trying to be as positive as possible. I have expressed some of what You said, but it falls on deaf ears; or I’m speaking gobble-gook; or I’m "new-age." The mind-body-spirit unity is so important. For myself, I just find it hard sometimes to be in the situation when I see things which to my understanding are irrational. It seems their identity has become so consumed by these allergies it even affects our relationship—detrimentally. But thank You for intuiting…my intuition.

One last thing, if You have any guidance on what I’m going through presently with the possible transition of my relationship with (Name) as she pursues another living situation away from me. It seems to be going real slow and there’s part of me that’s trying to be as present as possible in the situation, but there are times when my gut is just gnawing with impatience; and is just sad.

MICHAEL: As to you second question, D, recently Mother and I have pointed out some of the limitations, the gaps in a scientific/empirical—experimentation-proof-type of approach to reality, because certain things of a spiritual nature cannot be proven. But there is an enormous wealth to be gleaned this way, with what we talked about with respect to allergies. To be scientific, to be truly open to trying different things and seeing what works and what doesn’t, to be able to suspend your judgement, your pre-judgement—your prejudice—to be open to what really causes what, will lead you to this tight interplay between mind and spirit and physical effects. All you can o is encourage these people to be truly scientific, to be open as to what might alleviate their conditions. They might have a greater respect if you put it this way. It might be a combination of food, and exposure, and attitude, all at the same time.

(The price of keeping options open)

As to this ongoing relationship, I think it is critical that you feel for your own sense of the fluctuations of your freedom. There is a kind of temporal price you pay day to day to keep certain options open, and only you can decide if the possibility that you would hope to see happen is worth the price you are paying for it. This is the gut-wrenching part of this evaluation. Keep in mind you are accepting these ongoing developments only to the degree that you can exercise your freedom and decide upon another choice. If you are not free to do so you can very righteously feel yourself being dragged along. It might help greatly if you remind yourself from time to time that you have your own desires of where you would like this to go, an to keep that option open does have a cost. We are here to help you in your prayers to achieve that evaluation, but it is ultimately yours to make.

Student: I truly understand that, and I do have a strong intuitive impression that I am going in a different direction where she cannot go. Because I’m ready to take that leap—jump into that chasm of the unknown. I do feel I have to do that alone.

MICHAEL: This is true. Sometimes in a relationship when only one partner is capable of choice, then obviously he or she chooses for the both of them. One can only hope the other partner has the good grace to realize what is happening. (Thank You) You’re very welcome. Be in My peace.

Student: I would like to ask about a personal question that came up a little while ago. Is my mother reawakened on the Mansion Worlds yet?—if I may ask such a question.

MICHAEL: R, My son, this is one question I cannot answer, for with your degree of knowledge of the principles involved, it would come across too much as an evaluation of your mother’s spiritual status.

Student: I understand.

(Justice and mercy and rebirth)

MICHAEL: I can only tell you that she is in good hands. There is no suffering or discomfort she is experiencing whatsoever. And she is certainly bound for—or experiencing—this marvelous rebirth that awaits you all. Beyond this, in a way that is almost inexpressible, whether you can comprehend it or not: it doesn’t matter! This too is part of a truth that you will only fully comprehend when you yourself have experienced it. I hope that supreme fact can find resonance within your understanding, and give you a further reassurance of God’s mercy and justice, where there is no longer any separation between these two. This is what I mean when I say: it truly doesn’t matter. But I know this is from Our viewpoint, and so it may, in some way, still matter to you. Do you understand?

Student: Yes, I do understand. I was just hoping to send her my love and my greetings. But I know there will be a time when this is possible.

MICHAEL: This, My son, you may do at any time, for this does matter. And it is not lost.

Student: Thank You for that, Michael. I would also like to ask You a question about fused mortals. Has there ever been on record, in any of the seven Super Universes, an incident where a fused mortal has gone into default? Is this even possible?

(Thought Adjuster fused mortals)

MICHAEL: No—not irrevocably. Fusion only happens at the invitation and acceptance of the Thought Adjuster, and as you have been informed, there is no purer spirit out here in time and space. Your Father Fragment is God. Keep in mind that a fused, ascending mortal--a Morontia soul, even after fusion--this being is still very, very far away from perfect. They are capable of behavior that is later, upon reflection by themselves and higher spiritual beings, found to be less than perfect, or adequate. In this you might see some fault, but they are not in default in the same sense that were some of the spiritual beings you know of--like Lucifer, Caligastia, Satan—beings without Thought Adjusters. They were capable of making grievous errors--that they later refused to rectify! They absolutely, arrogantly refused all the mercy I could offer them. They literally put themselves out of reality. And this was their free-will choice. But as your Urantia book puts it: this is the proof of the wisdom of He who set up this whole system of having potentially eternal beings start out at the spiritual extreme that you are living now. You are very complex, composite beings with physical bodies of the whole planet’s evolution of life within them, joined with the purest fragment of spirit that exists. Can you see the marvelous coming together of the two absolute extremes of spirit and personality that this represents? Does this answer your question, My son? (Yes, it does) This is why We say--with a bit of irony, of course—that you are envied in a way by some of the higher spirit beings who never had the necessity to make the kind of choices put before you. Do you have any more questions?

Student: Michael, there is still a bit of confusion in my mind about the fact that once a mortal fuses with the indwelling spirit, there can still be immature choices? I don’t understand how this can be possible. At least I understand that’s what You said?

MICHAEL: Yes, you understand Me correctly. It’s a long way from the fifth Mansion World to Paradise, My son. You have not only the Local System, the Constellation, and the Local Universe training and education to go through, but you have the Minor and Major sectors of the Super Universe, then some very long time spent at the center of the galaxy itself, before you head to Havona and spend some time on each of its billion individual worlds. So see all this as a growing, a maturing toward being a Finaliter, and it is in this sense that some Morontia soul fusing on the third, or forth, or fifth Mansion World is still just getting started.

Maturity and immaturity, My son, are very relative terms. You are quite mature compared to who you were when you were ten or fifteen. Yet you are still here, as We teach you, still a tadpole, maybe still just an egg in your first life. (laughter) You haven’t died and been reborn. So this is one way you can look at the immaturity of an fused ascender. Believe Me, a fused ascender has an even greater comprehension than you have now of how great and long and wonderful is the road still ahead; and all the greater humility because of it. Does this help your understanding? Any?

Student: It does somewhat. I’ll try to reflect back what I understand. Even though we have made the ultimate decision to follow the Father’s will, when we fuse, and now we are one, and we have the Father’s guidance without doubt or questioning any more—we know His will, and we choose it in each and every instance--we still need to experience all the different steps to Paradise. In that experience there are choices, and perhaps we still, even though we have the Father’s will right within our grasp, to make choices that wouldn’t actually—later on—appear to be the best to be made at the time. I guess that is where the confusion lies. Once we have this fusion with the Father, it would seem that all choices would be perfect.

MICHAEL: Yes, My son, you have to imaginatively put yourself in this position, as you ‘re trying to do, to realize you still have—though you’ve fused with the Father--you still have the need to seek and find Him. Because you are only just getting started—experientially, and in all eternity you will still not discover all of the Father. The Father‘s full nature is beyond the discovery and comprehension of any sub-absolute being. In this sense the Father is only fully known by the other two absolute Beings with whom He shares infinity. You can have a purity of intention, but this does not automatically disclose the fullness that can only be revealed in time, for this is just another definition of what time is. It is that eternal unfolding with no end—ever. And so while you are complete as a being created by God, your quest for Him will never be complete. This is the size of His creation. This is the vastness of His spiritual family. This is that greater context of truth itself, that literally holds you and sustains you. Even after fusion you are still largely an experiential being, ever so slowly working your way toward being fully existential. As Mother said last week, there is real work to do—forever—or eternity would be a kind of hell. Read again, My son, those pages of the Urantia book that delineate what it calls the inevitabilities (Ed: pages 51 and 52) for free choice implies the possibility of error. If all were perfect there would be no choice; there would be no deviation from perfection, and nothing to choose. I hope this does not sound like a string of tautologies, but this is just the way it comes out in English. (laughter)

Student: It is quite a mystery, and quite an adventure. And I’m so thankful for having You as my spiritual Father to help me along with this marvelous adventure, and my questions. Thank You.

(Completeness and perfection)

MICHAEL: Well, now you have it! (laughter) Yes, We know these are rather strange-seeming concepts; how you can at one and the same time be complete, as the whole universe is at each moment complete, fulfilled, and absolute because it is a creation of God; and at the same time—as We say, out here in space and time—have been created in such a way that it is capable of growth, not only quantitatively with more personal beings coming into existence, but qualitatively too. The very status of reality itself is gaining value. Similarly, even though you are complete, you are capable of growing—forever! This is that good work before us all. It is God’s greatest gift: there is literally something real to do. And it is our choice to accept it—or not. And for this, My Father, I give My humble thanks.

I bid you a fond good evening, My children. Mother sends Her love, and be in My peace.
