Changes

Nebadonia: Good evening My children, this is your spiritual Mother, Nebadonia. I almost wish I could say, This is your sister - too, as Michael is your brother. But you can think of my affection for you as sisterly as well as motherly. I feel Myself to be so much a part of you and your lives. I feel Myself walking alongside you and enjoying your company. And so I am really delighted now that you are beginning to feel My presence. This is the way it is with not only fathers and mothers and their children, but with siblings, brothers and sisters. We just enjoy each others company.

* Identity [There Is A Profound Sense Of Identity Between Us]

===='''''[[Identity]]'''''====

[There Is A Profound Sense Of Identity Between Us]

There is a profound feeling of identity between us, we who are of such different kinds of beings; we are both sons and daughters of our Eternal Father. So as we share in His creation, we are brothers and sisters. We can feel this delightful kinship, this deep-down realization that someone understands us, someone is sharing our life with us. And you are also blessed as children of God to have a fragment of His pure being right within you, informing your understanding, inspiring your decisions, then making a spiritual record of this partnership with you in the single life that is truly yours.

* Existence [You Are Existential In The Fact Of Your Existence]

===='''''[[Existence]]'''''====

[You Are Existential In The Fact Of Your Existence]

How do we spend this time together? This is where your experiential being - being nodules of experience out here in time and space - most profoundly approaches being existential; self-defining your existence by what you do.

How do we spend this time together? This is where your experiential being - being nodules of experience out here in time and space - most profoundly approaches being existential; self-defining your existence by what you do.

For however you are just starting out on your eternal journey, you are fully existential in the simple fact of your existence. Though you may feel, at times, you are just some nebulous wisp of God’s imagination, this is just a passing, shaky self-reflection or perhaps a profound self-doubt that you feel the need to entertain. But this doubt will pass because you truly are. You are a fact of absolute existence and it is how you choose to manifest this reality of yourselves - what you choose to do, how you choose to behave, that is a constantly modulating fact of your existence, that your Father Fragment records as a shared journal - as your soul.

* Reality [Although Reality Is A Single Happening, Only God Himself Truly Experiences It As Such]

===='''''[[Reality]]'''''====

[Although Reality Is A Single Happening, Only God Himself Truly Experiences It As Such]

So you see a kind of constant transformation from experiential possibility - the potential for experience that you get to choose, which then becomes an existential fact as it happens. This is what is happening in this dimension of the present moment. A hundred and one possibilities are being rendered into a single reality happening. Once this has happened and has become the past, We have encouraged you to respect it and be self-aware as to how you interpret it because, generally speaking, this interpretation is necessary for your understanding.

Though you can intellectually think of reality as a single happening, which it is, only God himself fully experiences it as such. For we lesser beings it is a highly complex, I should say infinitely complex happening. This single reality includes millions of galaxies, trillions of inhabited worlds, each with their billions of human level type beings, and then a whole hierarchy of personal beings forming a unbroken chain between them and God, their Father. This is all actually happening right now. So to some degree your understanding of the present moment as it becomes the past necessarily involves some simplification. You pick out certain continuing threads of cause-and-effect, or other relationships, extending through time, and this forms your understanding of why things happened as they did.

===='''''[[Experience]]'''''====

[Attempt To Keep The Original Experience Separate From Its Interpretation]

So We have been counseling you to keep these two phases of your reality – your original experience and your interpretation of it - as distinct as you can. Cultivate the ability to relive moments of your past. Let them be present once again and once again experience all those hundred and one possibilities coming in from all the dimensions of your life. Feel again all that need for the decisions that you had to make to create the one thing that did happen out of all those possibilities.

This is truly an appreciation, an increase in spiritual value. You find kinship with those who have gone before you and realize that, though they may have lived thousands of years ago, in cultures and human situations you can barely imagine, still they were as fully human as you, however incomprehensible to you may have been their encompassing reality.

* Renaissance [You Are Living In a Kind of Renaissance Like No Other]

===='''''[[Renaissance]]'''''====

[You Are Living In a Kind of Renaissance Like No Other]

For you living now: We hope you can also appreciate you are living in a kind of Renaissance like no other, even the one that goes by that name in European history. You are being offered the opportunity to expand so enormously into the past and get this greater understanding of what your forefathers went through - the conscious, knowing sacrifices made so you could have the fullness you enjoy today. What a blessing this is. You’ve often expressed how fortunate you are just to be living in this time of the Fifth Epochal Revelation to mankind, and now with the Adjudication of the Lucifer Rebellion, to be alive and aware of the end of a two-hundred-thousand-year spiritual quarantine of the entire planet.

* Teaching Mission [Our Delight In Inaugurating the Teaching Mission]

===='''''[[Teaching Mission]]'''''====

[Our Delight In Inaugurating the Teaching Mission]

Can you imagine further, My children? Can you feel Our delight in being able to inaugurate the Teaching Mission? We can actually feel, Michael and I, this enormously expanding contact between Our sons and daughters on a human level, contacting their brother and sister Celestial Beings. What a joy Urantia is beginning to experience, so far beyond even what your delightful science fiction cares to imagine. For this is not just rocket ships cruising about the galaxy. This is the actual contact between beings who have just barely begun their journey into eternity, with older brothers and sisters –Celestial Beings - who have lived tens of thousands, in some cases, billions of years. Did you ever imagine this kind of contact across these eons of time, My children?

* Interpretation [Suspend Old Interpretations of the Past To Gain New Ones If Possible]

===='''''[[Interpretation]]'''''====

[Suspend Old Interpretations of the Past To Gain New Ones If Possible]

Student: Thank You, Mother. Once again You said just what I needed to hear. I do have one question, maybe several. I’ve been told I can change the interpretation that I made about a particular past event, to a different interpretation. I’m wondering how accurate that is, because my mind already knows the original interpretation that I put on it. Am I getting myself deeper into trouble trying to change an interpretation, or into any particular risk, with such a traumatic event, or even a pleasant one?

Nebadonia: Your last understanding is the correct one. Your soul is a spiritual transcript of everything happening to you, so it is both the events as you experienced them, and then whatever subsequent understandings and judgments - which are also experiences of yours. Your soul contains both, so if your present consciousness and understanding can see both, you begin to approach the content of your soul. Still and all, your soul also has this co-author of a Fragment of Absolute Wisdom.

* Soul [Sometimes The Soul Does Break Into Your Consciousness]

===='''''[[Soul]]'''''====

[Sometimes The Soul Does Break Into Your Consciousness]

From time to time your soul does break through into your consciousness, particularly when you let it by being still of active, present concerns, and reflect. For most people this is somewhat shocking and they’re amazed that for a full four or five seconds it’s almost like science-fiction time traveling. Something self-complete just pops into your mind of how you felt maybe when you were, say, ten years old or so - just how the day felt, the air, the people you were around, the smells, the sensations. For a few seconds you are reliving some previous event of your life, and you get just the tiniest inkling of how enormous your soul is.

* Thought Adjuster, Communication [Speaking To Your thought Adjuster]

===='''''[[Thought Adjusters]]''''', '''''[[Communication]]'''''====

[Speaking To Your thought Adjuster]

Student: Dear Nebadonia, I would like your advice on asking my Thought Adjuster - more nearly a Thought Controller - ask for the creative maturity that makes it safe and reasonable - what we ask for. Please help me in that direction.

Nebadonia: Well, as Michael noted last week, it seems you are not only discovering this peace of His, but you are learning how to let [it] affect you. This is why it feels so free, so light and buoyant, so nourishing and playful. It should be popping up more and more as you go through your days.

===='''''[[Consciousness]]'''''====

[Some of The Eternal Questions about the "Why?" of Consciousness]

Student: I have noticed a lightness within my being. Something has shifted within my consciousness. But there are times - like before I came here - where I did feel a density, where I did feel my body was having a hard time. It felt really discomforted. I was going to ask about that, but this other idea came to mind.

I was going to ask about that, but this other idea came to mind.

This is the very nature of time itself, and the complexity you live in. The understanding of this is what gives you peace, moment to moment, and helps you avoid a kind of human anxiety that serves no purpose, but is possible to feel. Just do your best and leave the rest to God. We are all in good hands, My son. Student: I’ve been doing a lot of letting go and letting God lately, every moment I can.

* Time [Time Is A Singular Happening That Is Him]

===='''''[[Time]]'''''====

[Time Is A Singular Happening That Is Him]

Nebadonia: Well, this is teaching you an appreciation of the dimension of time. It is not some will ‘o the wisp type thing. Time is another dimension of God’s law. It is that singular happening that is Him, and we just open ourselves to as much of it as we can comprehend. And we go towards Him. As a human being you have within you a compass, a living compass that points directly at Him. The Fragment of God that lives within you proceeds from the very living heart of Paradise. And this Fragment of God knows the way home.

Just feel for it. Feel for what is the right thing to do. Even if you can’t do it, feel for it anyway. You have a Fragment of God himself pointing the way. You have His Son, Michael’s Spirit of Truth to help you in this. You have the dimensions of the Infinite Spirit pouring through Me as the very mind with which you experience your hard earned wisdom and express your thankfulness to God to be a part of this. Rest in My love. Good evening.
