Yes, a day in [[God-consciousness]] is a big undertaking, and, yet, my [[friends]], you are [[preparing]] for such a day. You have been doing the leg work. You have been building your [[foundations]]. You have been searching the [[nature]] of your [[beings]]. You have been first and foremost and most fundamentally, developing that [[relationship]] with [[God]].

My friends I am here to [[announce]] to you today that indeed is [[synergy]] underway and indeed are we about to merge into a new time for [[your planet]] of greatly upstepped [[consciousness]], greatly upstepped awareness. Christ [[Michael]] spoke most [[eloquently]] Monday to the [[practice]] group and told them that the new day was [[dawning]], that the [[rays]] of the [[sun]] were tickling the underbellies of the [[clouds]], that the sun was about to emerge over the [[horizon]]. Indeed am I here to tell you that this is so, that this was not meant figuratively as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Preacher_and_the_Slave pie-in-the-sky type] of a [[metaphor]], but it was indeed an [[announcement]].

[[Prepare]] yourselves, my friends, for [[changes]] in your sisters and your brothers. Sometimes it can be almost [[difficult]] to deal with [[change]] when people do grow, for you are used to them the old way, and you [[mortals]] have preconceived [[ideas]] of one another that are based on an accumulation of past [[beliefs]] and past [[events]], but often those preconceptions do not allow you, the [[individual]], to recognize the [[change]] when it occurs. So in addition to the [[announcement]] of the new era upon us, I ask you to open your eyes to be able to see each situation and each [[individual]] with new eyes. Allow for change and [[growth]] in your [[siblings]]. Be [[awed]] by this [[process]]. Allow your [[hearts]] to fill with [[gratitude]]. Allow yourself to [[believe]] that this can be true and that you are [[experiencing]] it. Allow it into the core of your [[being]].

TOMAS: (TR#2) Gracious Teacher, indeed I have [[words]], however brief, for I do not wish to detract from the [[clarity]] of your missive this evening. I do however which to address briefly what [[synergy]] is not, lest in your beholding you negate the [[power]] and [[potential]] of this very keen [[circuit]] of [[energy]].

The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recovery_model recovery movement which] is making great inroads into helping [[individuals]] become socially acquainted with a [[personal]] [[God]], has dealt largely with [[mortal]] matters. The [[spirituality]] which is emerging will be [[evidenced]] through synergy as it evolves and is realized. Yet it could be easily construed at this [[point]] to be an emotional [[connectedness]] or [[interdependence]] or co-dependence, which phrases are popular and useful in [[communication]] terms. These communication terms, however valuable and useful, are not the equivalent of [[synergy]] which is a [[transcendence]] of [[emotional]] [[circuitry]] and [[social]] [[circuitry]].

It is difficult to add to the repleteness of Daniel's clear portrayal of [[synergy]], but I felt that the [[clarification]] might be helpful, at least I intended that the clarification be helpful. It is also a way of establishing rapport with many [[readers]], for in many ways "My name is Tomas; I am a recovering [[mortal]]," and this is an aspect of [[Correcting Time]] which all Urantians face and which [[we teachers]] have spent many devoted lessons to [[reveal]], that we are indeed siblings in this surge forward no matter whence our vagaries and peculiarities of [[origin]].

TONYA: I'm afraid I'm still a little [[confused]]. Is it sending through your [[mind]] and through your [[quietness]]? Is it in sending [[love]] to another [[person]]? Is it a link that is easier made in [[intimacy]] or with someone that you know well initially before one is capable to send it to someone that they do not know well? I feel I'm very lost, perhaps.

Is it a link that is easier made in [[intimacy]] or with someone that you know well initially before one is capable to send it to someone that they do not know well? I feel I'm very lost, perhaps.

DANIEL: Yes, Tonya, I would be very [[happy]] to [[clarify]], and I thank you for your question. This [[circuitry]] is real. It is beyond your [[vision]], but it is a living--let's say "[[organic]]" for lack of better [[terminology]]--a living organic [[structure]]. This living organic structure is beginning to [[link]] all of the [[individuals]] throughout the world. This is what it means to have this planet re-hooked into spiritual circuitry. At the time of [[the rebellion]], this spiritual circuitry was cut, and it was not allowed to [[grow]] between [[individuals]] because of the spread of the rebellion. By removing this web that joins one to another, [[the rebellion]] was [[isolated]] and confined to a limited quarter.

Now that the [[adjudication]] of the [[rebellion]] and the cessation of [[existence]] of [[Lucifer]], [[Satan]] and [[Caligastia]] and all of those [[personalities]] who chose such personality cessation rather than to [[accept]] the [[mercy]] and the [[love]] of Christ [[Michael]] and our Great Parent, [[First Source and Center]] has occurred, now that they are gone and the rebellion is adjudicated, the [[circuits]] are/have been reestablished. Spiritual circuits have been reestablished to [[this planet]]. However, the web that connects [[individuals]] to each other and connects individuals into the spiritual circuitry coming "from the [[heavens]]" is yet to be established. That is a living [[web]] that is grown by spiritually minded individuals. It connects all [[individuals]] in planets of [[light and life]] unless and until [[individuals]] choose [[personality]] [[Extinction|cessation]] while on the planet [of [[light and life]]]. But that is a very rare [[event]], nearly impossible--I am not sure if that has ever been the case on a planet of light and life.

So what needs to be done on [[this planet]] is that this living [[web]] needs to be grown, and it is established through [[love]], through mental [[expressions]] of love. Thought is prior to [[matter]], and so the thought of love, whether it be to someone close to you or to someone you do not know, works the same way. It [[grows]] this glimmering fiber, and this glimmering fiber allows spiritual [[insight]] to be [[shared]]. This is separate from and in addition to the [[collective consciousness]], but it works similarly to the little we have [[discussed]] of the collective consciousness. It is spiritual in nature although semi-material in [[structure]]. Does this assist you in your [[inquiry]], Tonya?

TONYA: Actually, it has helped a great deal. One further [[question]] is, how do we know when that [[link]] is established? How do we feel it?

KENT: The lesson this evening and the [[words]] spoken were very [[beautiful]], very [[strong]]. I don't know where to begin to [[express]], let's say, my joy at hearing that. It's something that has been on my [[mind]] and everybody else's mind here--the [[activities]] that are taking place through this [[Teaching Mission]] and outside of the Teaching Mission. We all have asked you many times what is going on. You are telling us now; you are [[guiding]] us; you are teaching us. Absolutely tremendous . .. I am just overjoyed to be a part of this, to see what is happening, and I thank you for this. And my [[love]] to you.

DANIEL: Our love and our [[gratitude]] overflows to you, Kent. Thank you for your [[participation]], for your [[loyalty]], for your [[dedication]], for your striving, for it is this that allows the [[web]] to be grown, allows for re- entry into [[spiritual]] [[community]] and allows for the [[stage]] to be set for the beginnings of [[Light and Life]]. Thank you.

PAULA: This is Carla. I guess I really like the [[words]], "I am here to announce the [[new age]] has come." My [[terminology]], or I guess the [[language]] with which I am most familiar is, you know, "[[the Kingdom]] of God is at hand" as announced by Christ [[Michael]], Jesus, in the [[tradition]] I am most familiar with. And I'm just [[thinking]] that it is the same [[message]], is it not? And do I hear you saying that perhaps [[the world]] is more ready to hear it then seems to have been [[evident]] in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Christianity 2,000 years since Jesus] announced [[the Kingdom]] of God being at hand? I'd just like to hear some comments about that.

===='''''[[New Age]]'''''====

DANIEL: Carla, I believe your [[initial]] [[question]] was: is the [[dawn]] of a [[new age]] the same thing as "[[the Kingdom]] of God is at hand"? And Tomas very accurately and [[beautifully]] stated that indeed the Kingdom of God is at hand, it is immediate in allowing oneself to know Christ [[Michael]] who walks beside us all. However, my [[meaning]] in my announcement is somewhat different, for I am announcing that this living [[web]] has been growing at a mighty rate amongst God's children on [[this planet]]. And because of this now existent network/web, this living [[structure]], the spiritual [[consciousness]] of all hooked up individuals is about to take a mighty up- step. This is why it is crucial that you continue to make sure that all of your [[brothers and sisters]] are hooked into this web by sending them [[love]], by connecting with them on the streets, as you drive, in the stores, at work, and so forth.

And you see this is a slightly different [[message]] from the message that Christ [[Michael]] preached when He walked upon [[this planet]], for at that time the spiritual [[circuits]] to this planet were cut, and this planet rested in [[isolation]]. Christ Michael was addressing the [[fact]], the actuality, of the [[Indwelling Spirit]], that what one needed to do was to turn inward to the Indwelling Spirit and then, after that, to the [[Spirit of Truth]], and indeed the Kingdom of God was at hand in one's [[personal]] life. And this point you and Tomas agree upon fully, and I agree with both of you fully. But my [[meaning]] was to announce something different that went beyond an [[individual]]'s [[relationship]] with their Creator and therefore the immediate [[quality]] of their lives.

I am announcing to you a heightened [[spiritual]] [[consciousness]] that affects all, and I am therefore asking you to [[prepare]] yourselves to recognize and respond to these changes as you [[perceive]] them. Sometimes it is very difficult to break old [[habits]], because one expects particular [[behavior]] and cannot see that the behavior has changed because of [[perceptions]]. Paula, are we in understanding of one another? Am I in understanding of your question? If so, did you understand my answer?

CARLA: Yes, I did. You did understand my question and I do understand your answer, and I also [[embrace]] that and really do believe . .. When you were talking about the network growing and the [[web]] growing, I kind of also flashed onto a [[crystal]], the way crystals grow. You know a piece gets another piece, gets another piece, and they continue to grow and become a stronger [[structure]] as well, and particularly with crystal [[being]] a [[light]] also. I mean it's just a really powerful image for me. As you were speaking that came, and, so, [my answer is] yes. And I too think that it's important that we move from just a self [[personal]] [[spirituality]] to one that embraces all of [[creation]], and I guess the words that when you pray for people, they become a part of that [[connectedness]] is a way that I hear what you're saying about the [[synergy]], and I appreciate that as well.

DANIEL: Yes, Carla. Thank you for that beautiful image of the [[crystal]]. That is another excellent way of trying to describe in the English language and in mortal terminology that which is outside of your experience. Yes, the light glimmers [[beautifully]] from the crystal, and, in [[fact]], this might be a better [[analogy]] than the use of the word "web" that somehow has the [[association]] of spiders and icky things. So, yes, as you send love, as you pray for [[individuals]], that [[crystal]] [[structure]] is formed. Thank you, Carla.
