May 3, 2003 - Ordinary People – Blessed In His Sight |
Idaho, US of A, May 3, 2003
Christ Michael Subject: “Ordinary People – Blessed In His Sight”
Michael: “This is Christ Michael.
“As I come to you with this message, I am aware that you can hardly believe that it is I. I would like to state the fact that all of you, who consider yourself to be ‘just ordinary people’, are equally precious in the eyes of our Father. He has no daughters or sons who are His favorites, and He loves each of you unconditionally.
“If our Father has no favorite children, how could I possibly be any different? Know that I love you, and that they are the ordinary persons who reach out and understand their siblings young and old, who bring our Father the greatest joy. It is in this way that our (God’s and Michael’s) love is carried forth, to adore each and every person on this planet earth.
“I walked this earth as an ordinary man, and my sharing of myself in compassion and understanding toward others was not different to your goals. I could do only as much as possible in showing my love and care to the best of my ability. To live your ordinary lives by simply being good persons, and functioning as part of your society, is held by Him in the highest regard, for great deeds are done one small step at a time.
“The Father has the ability to touch and teach His children only through the love you have for each other as you reach out. Realize the strength that pours forth from one person loving another. There is no greater power to be found than exists in this simple act.
“My love for each of you is without end. My pride in your actions of trying to do God’s will is without bounds. Being ‘ordinary people’ is the very pinnacle of co-creation together with the greatest Creator of the universes.
“Know that you are loved. This is Christ Michael.”

Midwayer Chief, Bzutu (ABC-22)
Subjects: “Midwayer Hierarchy and Organization” “Getting Back At The Mortal”
George: “Thanks, Bro. It was thoughtful of you to come help me with it (editing). Like old times, kind of. Not sure who or what I’m looking at now. Something…”
Bzutu: “The ‘subservient one’ (Sharmon), hamming it up in her party dress. We’re back, and far from humorless as a team, I promise you.
“Twice in one day! And it was good for us, too, to be back, to get involved in the kind of task we once slaved over, over many years of late night working hours, and with a little help from our friend, Athena. This is midwayer chief, Bzutu, and there are two important matters we need to cover here.
“To answer your question in the most accurate of details would require a lengthy space of time, and, as well, it would push you to the limit of your faculties and endurance, since many aspects of what I would need to firstly convey to you would include my having to describe many unrevealed methods in our routine employ, and that exist far beyond human comprehension capabilities.
“Thus we must compromise in our relating to you about hierarchy, involvement, organization, precise given tasks, and those areas of our employ that deal with emergency missions and profitable opportunities as they happen to arise. Suffice to say, that in many instances specific tasks are coded to represent a degree of importance – and we may only leave off to a later date, or to another fellow worker – when in our judgment something of greater importance, and or urgency, crops up in another place.
“And so it is imperative, always, for a hierarchy to be established – a unit, or what we refer to as a platoon – in which individuals of varied innate talents complement each other and can be directed to those areas of need that best suit their individual aptitudes.
It was always by free will choice, and, of course, aspects of the individual personalities of the secondary midwayer leaders, to choose to become those who took it upon their selves to make suggestions about group cooperation. It was also a part of the free will choice of others to stand beside these leaders and allow themselves to be placed into a relative position of subservience, as you perceive it.
“With all of the Father’s creatures, human or celestial, nothing overrides free will choice, and ‘the Powers that Be’ tend to recognize and accept these choices when it comes to dealing with the leaders (chiefs) of a particular group. And, nor does one find that these positions are temporary, even in so far as it involves those leaders of our brothers and sisters who once through little more than a careless, and unfortunate choices, remained loyal to a rightfully appointed Planetary Prince (referring here to Caligastia). In actuality, there is always a forward move, although one’s progress may be reduced to a period of leveling off, for nothing can lastingly stop the spiritual actualization of the willing individual, the world, the universe.
And there is no demotion in ranks, not even a superimposition of outsider control over the local midwayer crew, since their activities dovetail with our efforts, and even as they retain, by their choice, their own, long-established hierarchies. And so continue the careers of those who dare tread this unending path (he’s being facetious), and you may well see the wonderful helpers that have so swollen our ranks as subservient, of lesser status, but they are equal in His eyes, and also in ours.
“Agreed, the new hierarchy of chiefs, loyals, former rebels, on down to the new arrivals may seem significantly complex in human eyes, but we are a truly successful democracy of love, cooperation, service and liberty – at times of outrageous expression also, as you observed to your wonderment.
The association has become a huge web of welcome interaction, compared to how it once was, that it functions extraordinarily well, and to the contentment of all in what are rather pressing times. I hope this satisfies your inquiring mind, as we move onto another even more important matter, after which I shall take away with me the conceited owner of the now overflowing wardrobe.
“Under specific instructions to deliver, and with all due respects ever to be born in mind, I now come to the second part of my mission here on this bright and sunny afternoon in Oz (the sky is black!). It has been officially recorded that henceforth, in these difficult times at least, you are unprepared to commingle with, or even discuss matters important with, anyone celestial bereft of a healthy sense of humor.
“With your explicit demand, now noted, and permanently recorded in Jerusem archives, I am here permitted to, in part, enlighten you about the text of same: ‘The mortal is particular about with whom he deals regarding humor.’ However, noted on this document now appears the following unsigned graphite pencil annotation: ‘We may all happily continue to deal with him, for to us, the human is the joke.’
“Just keeping you on your toes, Rebel. With our love. Adieu.”
George: “Good one!” (Laughter ended this session).
Notes: My question was about the hierarchy and organization in the Midway realm – natural selection or appointment – especially at this time of ‘influx of foreign workers’ such as Midwayers Mathew, Clare and others.
Joking with friends about my ‘rejecting all celestials devoid of humor’ prompted the chief’s jocular response about Jerusem archives. They don’t miss much. He was joking, too, about that ‘bright and sunny afternoon in Oz.’ The sky was very dark, a huge thunderstorm about to hit us.
Sharmon (Simone or MNO-6) is the classiest of dressers. She sometimes shows off, since in 2000 I told her that her turning up ‘au naturel’ was not conducive to us getting business matters out of the way. Sharmon is a lightning fast messenger… and a ‘teenage-hippy-clown impersonator’.

Teacher Samuel Subject: “Motivation – Prioritization – A Universal Tool”
Received by George Barnard
Samuel: “The way you wriggle into that rug on this chilly eve reminds me of a broody hen, back from a drink of water, and wiggling back down onto her clutch of eggs. Take your time, brother, for there is no hurry in eternity, but let us now calm our minds and see what we can satisfactorily hatch out in time. This is Samuel, and I’ve been tuned in for the last twenty minutes or so.
“We (recognizing the presence of the Midwayer/facilitator) want to talk with you about the complexities of life, and in particular about the inborn personality-associated bequest of motivation to live that life, to organize, prioritize, and to ‘live it right’.
“Motivation – or as I favor to refer to it, ‘motive-action’ – your goal-oriented drive — is a gift from the Eternal Father, much enhanced by the deep-mind prompts of your Destiny Guardians, and of your Spirit Self.
“A propos, this is a personal lesson, but ‘these seeds will hardly fall on rocky ground if broadcast to pastures far and wide, to sprout leaves, and to bear their copious fruits’.
“The ‘involvedness’ of human life, as is the case on all planets, is such that the conscientious individuals are often left with the feeling that they were unprepared for their having been ‘thrown off the deep evolutionary end’. Your human foibles, frailties and occasional lack of ‘get up and go’ may not nearly manage to do justice to your extensive spiritual aims.
“Sincerity about reaching a deliberate goal in life is the Urgrund for the powerful motivation that drives us on with a clear mind about the end goal we sight. Indeed, in focusing on a project, and relatively casually ‘losing track’ of the many other diverse duties that also present themselves on a daily basis, we enhance our chances of success. We prioritize in our minds.
“For the wife and mother who spends her time rocking her baby to sleep, that is the priority – at that time – and the dishes can wait, the laundry can wait, her cooking and dusting and herb garden can wait, until the baby sleeps, for she cannot do all these things at once, but just one thing at the time, prioritizing that motivation to achieve, and therewith accepting the joy of being alive, and producing a life of joy in that moment, as is the Eternal Father’s wish for her.
“For the husband and father engaged in the lengthy hours of work at his chosen task to provide for his family’s welfare and education – at that time – his mind must remain unclouded from the thoughts of his vehicle being in need of service, the lawn to be mowed, their house to be painted, or their children to be bathed, and in focusing on the assignment at hand he will reap the fruits of greater achievement and remunerate himself with being involved in the all-important task of co-creating with his Eternal Source a physical, emotional and spiritual life of equilibrium.
“The human tasks are seemingly complex, yet surprisingly simple when we consider our motivation as an all-purpose tool, a universal tool, its edges to remain sharp for each separate use in turn, its surfaces clean of the rust, grease and grime of confusion.
“Again, as you might see it, we must recognize our motivation for the many-sided gem it is, of goal seeking and prioritizing, of focus, organization and endurance. Its value-increasing facets can only be tediously ground and polished, even sharply viewed – just one facet at the time. Yet it remains a single gem of soul growth potential.
“This is your teacher, Samuel, delighted to have been awarded a position of teacher on our Master’s own world, yet frequently looking back with some feelings of nostalgia at my busy mortal life, still treasuring immensely my motivation and organization of that distant time, and the now ongoing rewards of service in the ‘right here’, and the ‘right now’, that ensued from living that life.
“Your greetings to your friend (a Morontia Companion) are passed on and herewith returned. Stay warm now! We send you our love.”
*
Notes: ‘Spirit Self’, ‘Pilot Light’, ‘Thought Adjuster’, and ‘Father Fragment’ all have the same meaning.
Samuel is George’s personal Teacher, a one-time genetic engineer, and a ‘Panoptian’. A little more about his (human) life, kin, teachings, and planet of origin is found on:
