The greatest challenge is to love each individual member of the family uniquely, as you wish to be loved, and yet to include them as part of the commonality. There are some you can love easily. Your vibrations synchronize with their vibrations. Your unique sentiments and interests balance out their interests and sentiments, or mix well, and blend. But what about those who rub you the wrong way? Or simply do not show any interest in you? Or those you can not understand? How to love them? You do not grasp their unique loveable qualities and you find no hook to hang your love upon. Now you are faced with loving without reward.

And so you traverse your bridge, you pass through life, with some close to you, physically, intellectually, emotionally. And some quite distant, in fact they may become only a memory. The true life, that is, the life dedicated to God¹s love and the spirit of truth, will carry those memories in your heart and mind with love.

TR : I dedicate my words and this time to the doing of God¹s will. I dedicate myself to learning, to growing. I ask that God¹s love come through me and to all of us for the greater good of those we know and love. I welcome the teachers to help us.

D : Yes. Welcome Alana.

D : Yes. Welcome Alana.

 

Alana : Thank you. We were very interested in your discussion. You spoke, among other things, of your sense of invulnerability, of being protected. This I would assure you is very real. We do not, of course, ask you therefore to drop your awareness, your sensitivity to who you are and who others present themselves to be. We ask you always to co-operate with us in the effort to bring God¹s love and the power of God¹s love into your world. As you do this you grow increasingly strong, and you grow in your sense of our strength and our power to be with you in time of need. You begin to understand that we do indeed have great powers of protection. Those who surrender to God¹s love always experience an unquestioned sense, or faith, in all being well. Nevertheless, it is still your task to practice the stillness, to enter into daily prayer for the well-being of all. And that includes, of course, your individual selves. You meet from time to time those who have not yet opened their hearts or their minds to allow God¹s light and love to be a guiding force in their lives. They often choose different directions from the path of love. It is their fear that misguides them. You can not expect to escape the need to pay attention. It is a co-operative effort between ourselves and your individual selves to allow us to protect you from harm¹s way.

I ask you, if you have not already, please step into Alana¹s heart room now. See those lines of loving energy, of God¹s love and light, growing from your heads, from your sides. Open you back, open those holes, let them be safely opened for us to breathe our love into your bodies to heal them. Let our love pour in through your bodies to pass through across to the other. Feel those lines of energy pour through the holes, into your feet, straight through your toes into the toes of those across from you. Now sit inside this Heart Room with Alana and me embracing all of you. Now bring into the Heart Room those you wish to love, those who need your love. See your selves in here. See your loved ones in here. See those you have difficulty with in here. Shake your negative thoughts inside this Heart Room and let me blow my love through them. Open your mouths and allow Alana¹s and my love to pour through. Let Devina tenderly touch your tongue with her magnificent poetry. Alana : I am Alana, welcoming you to speak, if you wish, for we are here.

S : I, personally, am incredibly grateful for the sense of protection that I have been feeling in every part of my life. Something that I find helps me, when I am tempted to feel fear, is knowing that you are with me, but also remembering the statement that "the outcome is assured" no matter what happens here. I find that extremely comforting. I am much less fearful. I thank you from the bottom of my heartS(there were difficulties with the tape)

D : Like the "banquet" you were advertising several weeks ago, yes?

D : Like the "banquet" you were advertising several weeks ago, yes?

 

Legion : Yes. (laughter) I do not wish to present the idea that where I reside, or that the journey within, lacks entertainment. There is one message that I would pass on to you about discipline. It takes focus. Single minded dedication. We are not asking you to turn your lives inside out and to become miserable with your hard work. We are asking you to open your hearts and your minds to love, and faith, and God¹s will. We ask you to do this tenderly. Tenderly with your self, and tenderly with others. You are in a unique situation, allowing your lives to become everything that your lives are meant to be. Your lives are in a body, and on a planet, Urantia/Earth, but the truth of your lives is spiritual, is love. This opening to the reality of God¹s love is demanding. It is an experience that the human being, child or adult, goes through, yes, the TR is trying to give you words to describe what she feels as I give her my description. She feels great compassion for each one of you and for every human being whose growth into the knowledge of God¹s love requires the relinquishment of secrets, of shame, of fear, of hidden compartments. You relinquish these one at a time to God. You surrender all of your life-long privacy to God. The rewards, of course, are great, for God¹s joy, God¹s love, God¹s compassion, is not any longer hidden from you. Every small and great experience is welcomed. We give you love. We give you strength. God be with you.
