Changes

A: It is a matter of [[quality]], not [[quantity]]. What I want you to be able to do is to [[feel]] this [[love]] inside of yourself. That is [[paramount]]; for in [[feeling]] this [[love]], you will do much to benefit not only your [[physical]] [[mechanism]], but you will [[prepare]] the way that will allow us to bring people to you.

Q: The [[visualization]] [[technique]] that [[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=1992-11-08-Healing#Music.2C_Vision|Andrea gave us on Sunday]] was the diamond and the [[spectrum]] of the [[colors]] and the [[light]]. It seems from trying to do this, that that was a little bit more [[effective]] in [[feeling]] the [[love]]; but yet I still am kind of [[perplexed]] why that [[visualization]] works so much better than just trying to [[think]] about [[the Father]]. Can you [[clarify]] that for me?

A: It is only one attempt at a [[visualization]] [[process]]. In that [[meeting]] there were varying [[degrees]] of [[attunement]]. I [[encourage]] you to find your own [[technique]]. [[Humans]] will continually ask us to help them, to give them something to [[focus]] on. Andrea selected this as just one way of doing this. It matters not what [[symbols]] you use. She was [[clear]] on this [[point]]. We are not trying to [[engage]] you in any [[mystical]] [[interaction]] whatsoever. What we want you to be able to do is to settle your [[mind]], (most of you have made comments that you have [[difficulty]] in doing this) settling your mind and allowing the [[feeling]] to swell up from within. There will be considerable [[discussion]] about this [[feeling]] next week, but in [[essence]] it is the feeling of [[love]] from within that will help to [[heal]] your whole [[body]] as well as your [[mind]].

M:No.

M:No.

Q:I didn't either. One of the things that I wanted to ask about was [[forbearance]]. We talked a lot about [[patience]], mentioned [[tolerance]], but I gather that forbearance as [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=118:1_Time_and_Eternity used in the Urantia Book (118:1.6)] is even more [[developed]] than [[tolerance]]. I'm not sure about this. Is it a correct [[assumption]] on my part that the way the [[words]] are used in [[the book]] that you go from [[patience]] to [[tolerance]] to [[forbearance]]; or have I missed something?

A:No, you have not missed anything. I would suggest to you that in [[reference]] to [[forbearance]] you might consider it as durability, the [[ability]] to withstand the time that it takes in order to [[achieve]] the [[oneness]] that you seek.

A: Yes. Each day is a new [[opportunity]]. Each day is a new [[adventure]] for each one of you to [[engage]] in this [[faithful]] living. Yet you do not fully [[engage]], for you allow yourselves to devitalize the [[energy]] that you [[consume]] by allowing the [[negative]] [[emotions]] to enter your [[being]] and [[consume]] your [[thoughts]]. This is part of what we will [[discuss]] more fully next week, but it is important that you [[recognize]] these [[emotions]] for what they are and eliminate them as soon as you can. Some of what I say will be inconsistent with what you hear from your current practitioners of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_health mental health]; but as I have said before and I will say very [[strongly]] now, there can be no true mental [[rehabilitation]] without a [[conscious]] [[recognition]] of the [[gospel]] of [[Jesus]] as he lived it on [[this planet]]. Until the human race [[recognizes]] that there is a [[the Father|Father]] and that [[Jesus]]' [[message]] was lived for all [[creation]] within [[this universe]], you will find the [[harmony]] that you look for on a [[planetary]] scale. Having said that, we must do this on an [[individual]] basis, once again one of my prime directives in working with you.

It constantly confounds me when I have [[observed]] some of your [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychiatry doctors of mental health] [[counsel]] people with the [[thought]] in [[mind]] that [[God]] is not relevant. It is true that the [[God]] of [[anger]], the God of [[wrath]], the God of [[atonement]] is not true; and therefore I subscribe to them not dwelling on this type of [[creator]]. But it is time to [[wake]] up to the [[reality]] that [[the Father]] is not like this. What [[father]] of [[normal]] [[mind]] would be [[wrathful]], would be [[angry]] at their [[children]]? It makes no [[logical]] sense to us, whatsoever. Yet it prevails on [[your planet]]. Those of you who have been fortunate to [[read]] the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=UB#Part_IV._The_Life_and_Teachings_of_Jesus teachings and the life of Jesus] in your [[text]] have truly been [[blessed]]. You have been given an [[insight]] beyond what [[normal]] [[mortals]] are able to [[achieve]]. [[Blessed]] are those who live the [[gospel]] of [[Jesus]], yet have not [[read]] [[the book]]. Take the [[faith]] that you have. Live it more fully than you do now.

Q: Welmek, I introduced one of my [[friends]] to the [[Urantia Book]]; and she's been [[reading]] it. She has [[questions]] such as this; and she doesn't quite [[understand]] this [[theory]], or this way, that [[God]] is really [[the Father]] and it's people that are causing [[pain]] and [[crime]] and [[anger]] and the [[hatred]] on [[earth]]. I've been trying to explain that; and she can't quite get it. Is there anything that you could tell me to help her [[understand]] a little bit better?
