*            My friends, I am Aaron.  Feel the strength of your connection with your spirit and with your siblings.  We are a family.  We are together in this endeavor to build out from a place of connection, where there is love and care and cooperation and discussion.  This process is purposeful, not random.  You are, by your choosing, agents of this cooperative process, agents of love, having been trained in the processes which allow, first, yourselves to know you are part of a family, a spiritual brother and sisterhood united in connection to our Creator.  Secondly, from this awareness, you are able to engage others from a place that begins with acceptance or the desire to understand so that your ministry can flow, allowing our ministry to flow, which is the ministry of our Father, Mother, Brother. This is what we are about, ourselves and you. 

So when you begin to struggle with your purpose and what meaning there is in your lives, when difficult things happen and you feel scattered, remember this mission and the purpose we are about, which is to spread the gospel of the kingdom, which is to love one another and love our Creator.  Every time the complexities begin to break down, come back to these core central realizations that you have gained and begin again from this place.  This is not to oversimplify your mission, for yes, there are other truths and meanings to be found within the gospel of the kingdom, within your recognition of the love that is there for you and that you can share with others.  We would have you explore the various nuances and understandings to be had, but always this core central message will be the basis you start from, that unquestionable part of your relationships with each other, with ourselves, with your Father, and with those you reach out to. 

We are excited and happy to be involved with you in this process and we look forward to how you each utilize your awareness as you continue forth.  The fact that you all have built a level of camaraderie with each other is like icing on the cake for us, for this is a tertiary practice that can take you a step further in realizing the plan of Michael.  Beyond your simple personal awareness, beyond your reaching out, to understand how that coalesces into unity and community with those who strive likewise toward similar goals.  Be at peace with this.  Know that you are each on the path, moving forward, and building your soul muscles, so to speak.  We will keep exercising along with you in the time to come.

Q1: I have a question about our discussion of parables.  Is that a fruitful way to continue with our work?  I was thinking of translating my old ideas into parables.

*            Aaron: My friend, you are, at your essence, creative.  You resonate to a good story and like to share good stories.  The practice of applying your awareness of the realities of your spiritual seeking toward this output of telling stories with purpose is, indeed, fruitful for there are lessons to be learned that, for some, can only be accepted by receiving it from a place of creativity, rather than a heavy dose of blunt wisdom.

One moment.  Machiventa would like to share with you for a moment.

*            Yes, my friends, I am Machiventa and I would like to comment on the use of the term “woke,” for you live in a time when there is deep division in thought around particular issues and there is a difference between what some would call being “woke” and the practice of being awake.  Too often, instead of real dialogue about differences, there is a tendency to diminish the opposition, a sort of deflection that occurs when the emotions are inflamed or when one does not have an easy response.  As brothers and sisters in the kingdom you should both strive and challenge each other to be “woke” in the sense of being awake. 

This is not to diminish the understanding that for some, the idea of being more progressive can come across as less real when the substance does not match the dialogue.  There are those who do not practice what they preach, or who preach ideas that lack easily connectable realities. 

But far too often there is a tendency to utilize such terms in ways that would seek to avoid having the difficult conversations, to look for the value in each perspective, and to discuss what someone is sharing based on its merits and not on some title given as an aspersion.  This can be extrapolated to other terms such as conservative or liberal, or in religious terms such as fundamentalist or new age.  If this world is to begin to come together and find common ground, it will be built on efforts to understand, truly understand, where the value is in each perspective. 

I say this tonight as an addition to your question about parables, my friend, for the practice of doing so has a certain commonality with the practice of seeking the underlying truth in one’s sharing.  What is it that your brother or sister is really trying to say?  And sometimes, of course, it is not even the words they are sharing in the moment, but some other feeling or hurt or fear that exists. 

So, as you look to build bridges and avenues for realization, you are also each called to look for this, as well as to offer it, to as has been attributed to our St. Francis, try to seek to understand more than to be understood.  But do not shy away from being awake and to turn the conversation from the level of demonization or aspersion to why it is okay to seek to be “woke,” even if the art has not been perfected yet.

Q: In my mind I’m thinking about how people throw that out a lot.  How much study or research or fact checking goes into understanding something?  Is there a spiritual request that goes above all the facts?  I suppose the answer would be call upon spirit for help, to seek the truth about the different sides that people believe.  Isn’t there some way we can rise above the mere facts?  How do we spiritize it?

*            Machiventa: Conversation just on the level of offering facts will not create the bridge.  Ultimately what creates the bridge is that earlier offering Aaron referred to tonight, which is the knowledge and awareness of connection and the fact that you seek to understand and by doing so, thereby love them.  This is not something that can always be achieved in its entirety in one conversation, but asking for that spirit help you referred to, can help to put you in a place where what you are sharing is more pointed to the value they need in the moment rather than the argument or the differences to be hashed out.  What is needed here to build the bridge or to, at the very least, offer an insight that can change perspective or provide consideration?

Q: I saw an image in my head almost like chemistry… love is the magic chemistry that can change and cause walls to fall and change the understanding of things.  Connectedness and love is a power.

*            Machiventa: This, my friend, is the practice of being awake rather than merely thinking you are woke, for you have connected with your Adjuster by desiring to understand, thus providing the illumination you speak of.

Q: That’s great. Thank you.

*            Machiventa: You are part of a mission on a world that needs a mission to be part of.  We seek to answer the call by providing outlets for this mission to be pursued.  Our endeavors now are as the explorers stepping out of the water onto the shore, moving inland to bring awareness, rather than exploitation, that there is a mission to be part of that at its very core is based in love and care and connection with any who want to be part of the community that our Creator has put forth for us to be part of.  Whether it is writing parables, providing a good word in passing, utilizing your art or professions, or anything you do that puts forth the message that says you are not alone, that the universe is friendly, that there is a source at the center of all things that manifests and beckons all to join, these efforts you make will be fruitful. 

Utilize your creativity.  Be awake and don’t be ashamed of it.  Encourage others to be woke with you.  Evil dissipates when goodness manifests and this is true even within individuals spreading dark ideas.  When afforded an opportunity to see from a different light, this can change hearts and can allow for a thawing, and the potential for deeper awareness. 

We simply seek more and more people to be a part of this mission with us and are deeply satisfied that you have joined us and we will look to participate with you, as you ask.  We are the children of God.  Believe this and manifest this.  Encourage this.  Good evening.
