Changes

There are many here tonight and several have requested to speak. I would prefer to have them speak at the end, if time [[permits]]. I am undecided as to whether it would be best to begin with the lesson at this moment or to allow a few minutes of [[questions]] first. What is your preference as a group? Do you have questions from previous lessons before we start on today's lesson? (response to [[negative]]) Then we will begin a lesson.

Before I begin this lesson, I do wish to comment on an upcoming [[event]]. Some of you have heard about this event, but I am unsure as to whether all have been informed. We have been making claims for some time for an [[opportunity]] for a [[Melchizedek]] to be viewed on your world. The [[plans]] have become more formalized and the date has been established. There will be a [[materialization]] of a Melchizedeck in April on the 24th. The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naperville,_Illinois Naperville] group in Chicago will host this [[event]]. There will be two additional [[materializations]] at [[different]] locations in your country. These dates are not yet known. This [[event]] has required much planning; it has required much [[discussion]]. We have tried to foresee all the ramifications and to take measures that we are able to take to [[assure]] a [[positive]] outcome.

It is the [[consensus]] of those involved in [[this mission]] that this step is an important one. It should not be used to be a basis of your [[commitment]] to this mission for we will not have this kind of [[event]] on a routine basis. You will need to rely on your own [[communion]], [[worship]], and [[prayer]] for your day-to-day [[function]] in [[this mission]].

This is indeed [[preparation]] for a time when [[Michael]] will also be present. Initially, he will be present for a brief [[appearance]]. Later we [[anticipate]] that he will return to be present for a longer period of time. As [[your planet]] evolves, we [[anticipate]] that his initial appearance here again may happen within the lifetime of many of you here.

In [[preparation]] for this, we will have our [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Talk:1993-01-01-Rayson_%26_Friends,_Vol._2,_Part_1 April event]. There is [[desire]] amongst many [[groups]] to be able to visualize their [[teachers]] and we [[understand]] that we will have that option after this [[event]]. Each group will deal with this as it is most appropriate within their group. Some groups are not desirous of this, at least not at this time.

There is no need for this to happen. Others [[feel]] they will be more able to [[communicate]], feel closer, and have their [[experience]] bolstered. All of you will go through periods of [[doubt]], and you will need to deal with this, work through this to [[decide]] where you stand in your own [[growth]] [[process]] spiritually and your continued effort to remain [[committed]] to what you believe to be true in your [[heart]].

===Summary===

TARKAS: Some groups prefer to have a more lecture-type of presentation. We will [[experiment]] with different things, but this was most fruitful today and I believe this sharing will benefit you in getting to know one another and in seeing your opportunities in being of service to one another. I believe we will use this format in the future again.

Faith is very important in your lives. It will be a part of your experience in your [[eternity]] career. You have an opportunity in this world to exercise faith in a way that many of us have never experienced personally.

You may think at times that this is very difficult and you wish for things to all be perfect. I can see your reason for [[thinking]] this way. But you must understand what opportunities you have for growth. Growth that will be of value beyond this lifetime.

You may think at times that this is very [[difficult]] and you wish for things to all be [[perfect]]. I can see your reason for [[thinking]] this way. But you must [[understand]] what [[opportunities]] you have for [[growth]]. Growth that will be of [[value]] beyond this lifetime.

Many of us are envious of your opportunities. We have difficulty understanding how you are able to have so much faith when you are unable to see so much. Most of us grew up in a world where we had more opportunities to see the other beings that were around and we were supported in our process of growth. We did not have the kind of obstacles put in our path that you have. But by your facing these and growing in your trust in the Father, you develop much in your life. You develop many traits of [[character]].

We did not have the kind of [[obstacles]] put in our [[path]] that you have. But by your facing these and growing in your [[trust]] in [[the Father]], you develop much in your life. You [[develop]] many traits of [[character]].

Faith is very important in your character. For if you do not believe or trust in the Father, then how can you experience His love? If you do not believe and have faith that the Father is there for you and is able to share the love that you need, to wash away those reactions that you have to those things around you that you term emotions.

If you do not believe and have [[faith]] that [[the Father]] is there for you and is able to [[share]] the love that you need, to wash away those [[reactions]] that you have to those things around you that you term [[emotions]].

So faith is, in some ways, the first ingredient for you in developing character and facing your trials and tribulations, so to speak. As you grow in your faith and your awareness of the Father, you will come to look upon these opportunities with enthusiasm. You will be thankful for these opportunities.

As you [[grow]] in your [[faith]] and your awareness of [[the Father]], you will come to look upon these opportunities with [[enthusiasm]]. You will be [[thankful]] for these opportunities.

This seems difficult for you to imagine at times. I assure that as you grow, you will begin to see this for yourself. Take advantage of what opportunities you have. Be wise. Do not walk into a dangerous situation or put yourself in jeopardy for the sake of learning a lesson. But be open to what comes your way. Face it as frankly as you can. Trust and have faith in the Father to be there with you in this process. Learn what you are able to learn and move onto what is next in your life.

It is important for you to also experience the joys and the peace that the Father's love brings you. There is much happiness in this. The intensity of this happiness and this joy is beyond words as you grow in this. You must have joyous times, times of laughter and sharing with others. Your life does not need to be a constant effort and you should not look for your life to be this way.

I hear a sigh of relief. (laughter). There are teachings in some organized religions that teach you to feel that you must always be working. I believe that you all understand that this is not necessary. You can enjoy your lives as you work at your growth.

If you think of some of the more spiritual people that you know, you see the joy and the peace, and ease, that they are able to approach their problems with. They are able to have those joyful times, also.

[[Michael]], as he lived on your world, is a tremendous model for you regarding faith. He had faith in the Father to lead him, to uphold him, even until his death. His faith was great; he was able to experience the Father in direct relationship with Him. This upheld him through difficulties that none of you will have to face.

For those who have [[Urantia Text|the text]], take time this week and reread that particular paper. I feel it will help you in many ways. I believe much was said in our group discussion and I feel there is little else to say today. This topic is vast and perhaps we will want to discuss it later.

Are there any other questions on faith before we end? If there are none, I will entertain a few questions in general, and then I think we need to close. I thank each of you for participating. This was a very powerful and important session.

HUMAN: Tarkas, about a week ago, a lot of people were [[experiencing]] a lot of headache and a lot of [[emotional]] outpours in their lives. I know the [[planets]] were changing. Could you say something about that? Why we need to [[experience]] that, how to prevent some of the [[emotional]] outpour.

TARKAS: As humans’ [[emotions]] result from [[events]] that happen outside us, it is true that many hang onto these emotions and let them become a part of themselves. As you [[grow]], you will learn how to let [[the Father]]'s love fill you and let these [[emotions]] go. When you [[experience]] an event that stirs these things, allow them to exist and let [[the Father]]'s love fill in and cover up these difficulties. Allow the Father's love to [[flow]] through you. [[Focus]] on this, allow this to become more [[intense]], and you will find that emotional [[reactions]] will lessen and diminish significantly. This is something that will be tied to the [[degree]] of [[God-Consciousness]] that you each develop.

There are many [[theories]] on your world about [[emotions]] and emotional upset. There are so many [[factors]] that play a role in why these things come to the [[surface]] when they do and the [[fact]] that, at times, they come to the surface at many at the [[same time]]. To give you a more specific [[response]] regarding aspects outside of yourself and your world, I am not [[permitted]] to comment at this time. I know you are eager to have an [[explanation]]. What is most important now in your experience is to [[focus]] on your own [[process]], the [[tools]] you have to be cognizant of [[the Father]], to feel His love in your lives, and to allow this to [[dominate]] your very [[existence]].

If you do this, you will find yourself [[free]] of these [[emotions]], at least to the extent that they cause such [[difficulties]]. There is often much to be cleansed from previous [[experiences]], and at times this is a formidable task. But have [[courage]], seek [[guidance]], trust in [[the Father]], allow those of us who are here to help you.

But have courage, seek guidance, trust in the Father, allow those of us who are here to help you.

You have all faced different kinds of [[difficulties]] and have dealt with different [[reactions]] to them. But I tell you on your world there are others who have faced so much more. You have [[control]] mostly of your own [[growth]] and [[process]]. [[Focus]] on this for now. I am pleased you are [[eager]] to reach out to others and in time you will be of great [[service]] in this as well.

I know this does not answer exactly what you would wish, but I think, in part, if you [[focus]] on [[the Father]]'s [[love]] it is truly a [[tool]] to prevent these kinds of upheavals, to lessen their [[intensity]], to help you through them. When you feel these things, seek your [[worship]] and [[meditation]]. Allow [[the Father]]'s love to fill you, to reassure you. This is [[healing]] in more ways than you might [[Imagination|imagine]]. Allow yourself these opportunities for communion with the Father and allow this love to heal you.

HUMAN: Not about that. But things are [[happening]] right now. I'm beginning to [[wonder]] if I should be in the agency I am in. Am I being directed to go somewhere else? I feel very [[frustrated]] where I am right now.

HUMAN: Not about that. But things are happening right now. I'm beginning to [[wonder]] if I should be in the agency I am in. Am I being directed to go somewhere else? I feel very frustrated where I am right now.

TARKAS: I hear your [[frustration]]. I know your [[motivation]] to be of true [[service]] to those to whom you relate in your work, those who come to you for your help. I cannot make this [[decision]] for you. These kinds of [[decisions]] are yours alone, and that is true for all of you. I [[encourage]] you to pray on this, seek the [[stillness]] and listen. Ask the [[Father fragment]] and [[angels]] to guide you. [[Listen]] to those internal urgings; look at what options you have. If you wish at some point in time to [[discuss]] this in a private session, [[guidance]] can be given you. But do not look for us to make your decisions for you. These are yours to make. We cannot live your life for you.

But do not look for us to make your decisions for you. These are yours to make. We cannot live your life for you.

I know you are open and [[learning]] and seeking. The [[timing]] for any [[decision]] you make is yours to decide. You must look at the situation, identify what [[frustrates]] you, determine what you have [[control]] over, and what you do not. For that which you do not have control over, [[pray]] about this. For what you do have control over, seek [[guidance]] on how you might [[function]] in relation to these issues. Have [[patience]].

Are there other questions? Then I wish to draw to a close. There are several clamoring for an opportunity to speak but I will ask them to speak at another session as it grows late.
