The Parable of the Light While walking in the garden one day, God said to Michael. "Michael, see the branches of this bush?" "Yes, Lord," said Michael. "I want you to trim this bush and to take the buds off of the twigs. I want you to save the buds, mixing them so that they make a sweet aroma. Take the milk of hyssop and let it flow over them. Grind it into a fine paste. Smear the paste on the hands and faces of my followers. The light will radiate out from it and reflect wonderfully back from it into the hearts of those who look at them. Their faces will be brightened with joy, precious and dear. For I, the Lord, am their God." Michael did as the Lord God bid. He cut the branches and mixed the paste. He smeared it upon his face. He went out to seek those who would wear this paste and radiate the joy of the Lord out to the others. He looked far and wide, but could not find a single person willing to wear the light on their face. When he looked into the vial he had mixed it in, it radiated light and love. Finally, Michael met a woman. "This light is of the Lord, God," said Michael. "See how it brightens the countenance more than any makeup can?" "No," the woman dissented. "I will not wear it." Undaunted, Michael tried again. He tried every one he could find. As he did, the light in the vial began to grow. It shone out brightly as though the sun was being carried in his hand. It spread far and wide. It touched the people who would not wear the light, who would not accept the gift. As Michael passed through the streets of the towns, the vial of light showed the path clearly before him. Safety was his. Light became him, joy filled his being. As the bearer of light, Michael himself began to glow. He had become that which he bore to the world. Eventually, Michael returned to the Lord God. He handed the vial of light back to Him. God said. "No, Michael, it is yours. It has become you. You are the bud of new life, you are the bringer of joy, you are the bearer of light. Remain in it. The vial is no longer important, for what it contained is now contained within you. Allow it to remain within you." "But, what of the others?" Michael asked. "The others have not taken the light for themselves for this particular part of me was always to be yours. Each person is given their own vial of light. Some know this. They are the ones who laughed with you even though they declined to receive the gift you brought. Some do not know this. They are the ones who hid their eyes." "Who would accept this gift of the light that is me, Lord," Michael asked. "The ones who have opened their vials, and drunk the sweetness of the gift for themselves. Love fills them to the brim and they understand overflowing their light into others. These are the ones who truly love. Remain with them. Allow your light to overflow and fill them for in that overflowing and blending and mixing all are one in me. Return to them now, dear Michael, and bring my message to them, to the ones who have forgotten that they too hold the light, and are already me." Michael ran up and embraced the Lord God. Great was his joy at being one with Him. Full was his spirit. Love filled his being to overflowing. Love flowed out of him and back to God.
Thus was the circle of light established and recognized. Thus was the flow recognized. Michael went out into the world to teach the others and returned to be with God often. The Group continues...... This parable is for those of you who wish to channel, who wish to hear the voice of God within them. Remember always, that you carry the vial of light within you already. Remember always that you are one with the Lord. You are already full. Do not miss this point. You are already full of God. Look within to the voice of your soul. Remain in the joy of your own being and allow that joy to spill out to the others. Laugh and dance and sing your life's song, for so it is with God. Allow us to tell you how dearly we love you and how very much we wish to assist all to recognize their own power. We are with all of you. It is our greatest pleasure to assist you all in recognizing yourselves. You are God in a fun house of mirrors, bewildered and confused at your own image. Know this. Allow the mirrors to confuse you not. Just laugh as you would in the fun houses on earth. Remember standing in front of the mirror that made you look short and fat? Remember the one that made you look tall and skinny, and the one that combined the two images? Remember how hard you laughed? You called your friends to come and look also and you had a wonderful time of it. We tell you this. Being on earth is like being in that fun house. Have a wonderful laugh over it. Nothing is that serious. Know that the images are distorted, not real, not of any substance. Do not allow yourselves to be fooled into thinking that any of this is real. We know that in recent weeks there have been great tragedies. Those are not real either. They were caused by the thinking of certain individuals that the images they saw of themselves were to be believed, and that the images they saw of the others were to be believed also. Had they perceived the light within their own selves and seen themselves worthy of joy, their decisions would have been different. It is all perception. Perceive light, perceive joy. Fill yourselves with love. It is our greatest wish that you be happy and remain in the light. Fill yourselves to overflowing and you will not be away from God, ever.
We send great love to you through this channel. Listen for it within your own hearts as well, for it lies there, waiting for you to simply hear it. The Group
