The Word for Today is Release.
There are many meanings for Release, both noun and verb. The question is, what does the Michael Teachings have in mind?
One meaning I can see is that, even if we might feel imprisoned, we aren't. There are always ways to change a reality that doesn't feel good.

The Words for Today are Agility and Grace.
Once again, these words go together, as those who are agile can come across as graceful.
One method I've seen for teaching gracefulness is to teach people to walk very slowly. Think about that.

The Word for Today is Comfort.
Please realize that Comfort is always relative. This is most obvious during temperature extremes, especially if heating and/or air conditioning is out of service.
Also note that Comfort is not only physical. It is possible to be emotionally more comfortable around some people than others. (Or situations! How comfortable is an IRS Audit, for example?)

Weekly Theme: Week of May 17-23, 2009
The Theme for this Week is Disability.
This is quite a controversial word, though, fortunately with much less stigma as in years past.
Let's consider the fact that, since it's hard to be an expert in every subject, we could all likely be considered disabled in some topic or other.
The best thing is to use whatever abilities and gifts we have. Even people who fit into the accepted definitions of Disability have many abilities, often sharper than people who are physically fit.
Note, by the way, that this marks the beginning of the sixth (of seven) "Michael Months", the Priest Block month, with the attribute of Salvation.

The Word for Today is Prosperity.
This is a rather controversial word these days, due to the Financial issues that face this world.
What constitutes true Prosperity? Is a person prosperous who has large amounts of money and hoards it for him/herself? Would that person feel prosperous in a world that cannot support him/her?
In addition, money is not the only measure of Prosperity. What others can you think of?

The Word for Today is Liberation.
To a person in a prison, whether literal or self-inflicted, this is an important word, perhaps something to look forward to.
It can be as simple as how free it feels after, say, a maintenance task in a home is completed, and you can go on to other things.

The Word for Today is Impartiality.
This is not an easy trait to achieve, as we all have our Personalities, made up of Essence Role, Frequency and Male/Female percentage, as well as the Overleaves we chose for this life. These all filter our reality, such that true Impartiality is hard to even conceive of, let alone achieve.

The Word for Today is Elimination.
This is a Perspective word. You must know what you have, before you can eliminate any of it.
So eliminate carefully. It's easy to throw something away tomorrow, after you've had some time to get some perspective.
But it's harder on the other side. For example, how would you go about getting something back that you threw away in error?

The Word for today is Self-Reliance.
The funny thing is that this appears to be a trait that is going out of style, as the world learns how to be interdependent.
Keep it in your bag of tricks, however.

Words for the Day: Friday, 5/08/2009
The Words for Today are Trust and Faith.
Remember that Trust must be earned. However, trust in Essence (beginning with your Intuition) has brought me far.
Faith is a different animal, as it can be blind (i.e. negative pole of the Spiritualist Attitude, in the Michael system). But a general faith in the higher good has also brought me far.
Have a good weekend!
