Changes

Your atmosphere this evening is [[somber]] in spite of your [[gladness]] at once again being in session with each other; and I will construe this somber [[attitude]] as one having to do with attentiveness by the [[soul]].  Observe your atmosphere and recognize that when you come into these sessions with your teachers, both publicly and privately, you have put yourself in [[stillness]] wherein you are willing to [[listen]] with your [[heart]], your [[soul]], your [[essence]].  In this place you find [[peace]] and [[comfort]], thus your craving for further [[connectedness]] and fellowship in these meetings.

It is possible for you to learn how to carry your [[essence]] in such a way as to find this [[peace]] wherever you go.  But, no [[doubt]], you will agree that is [[difficult]], especially in certain jangled, [[confused]] environments.  Even so the well unified [[personality]], that one which is in [[tune]] with his and/or her spiritual strength as well as his and/or her personal [[weaknesses]] can, as you can see testified at this moment, also comport his/herself in those [[environments]] also.  This is desirable and in this way you can stay in [[touch]] with your [[peace]], your [[fruits of the Spirit]], your [[grace]] as you know it in this moment, in all [[facets]] of your life.

D2: "Yes, Tomas, this is D2. I want to say how much I appreciate being able to listen and that Gerdean is here to help take over [[TR]]ing [[duties]] once in a while. I [[appreciate]] your lesson this evening. The question that I have regarding it..it is quite evident that we need to individualize and [[concentrate]] on our own individual [[growth]] and trying to change ourselves, and in changing ourselves bring about [[change]] in the world. And while that is an everyday [[struggle]] that we all go through I guess I get concerned when I hear about things that are happening outside my own atmosphere in other parts of the world. I am just [[wondering]] if [[prayer]]..or what can we do as individuals to help in those things? Is prayer [[effective]] in that regard?"

Tomas: "Child, you know in your [[mind]] that [[prayer]] is helpful. Evidently you [[harbor]] [[doubt]] that the [[Most Highs]] rule in the kingdoms of men. You are not [[alone]] in your [[anxiety]] about the condition of [[Urantia]]. We, too, have moments of [[alarm]]. And yet there are [[emergency]] measures protecting you from derailment. Primarily I would suggest that you not overwhelm yourself with conditions and situations which are beyond your [[influence]]. It is said, 'let there be [[peace]] on earth and let it begin with me'. And that is your biggest job. It is not asked of you to uphold [[the universe]] but to nurture your own flock. And, perhaps, not watch the news. It is their [[business]] to sell [[disaster]]. Their entire premise is based on [[fear]] inducing [[information]]. They, the [[media]], are not conversant with the good news of [[the Kingdom]], therefor when you allow yourself to believe the fear levels that they would have you believe you are outside of your sphere of [[reality]]. You know about this ''benign virus''[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=100:4_Problems_of_Growth] business [Ed. note: [[virus]] of [[love]]] and although it is your [[option]] to [[focus]] on what is wrong in the world, it is also your option to offer up your [[sincere]] [[prayer]] and turn your attention to your assignment and your own [[faith]] in y[[our Father]].

There are, yes, many, many ills here. And many of these ills are not going to stop right away as we have some time to go in this [[cause]] and [[effect]] [[phenomenon]]. You will recall the phrase, 'he has not [[suffered]] enough'. And I ask you to see that in the highest [[light]] and [[pray]] that their suffering be ended, that they opt to turn the [[course]] of their evolution toward higher [[value]]. I will not pretend that things are all fine politically, economically, etc., for this is one of the reasons the [[Correcting Time]] is in [[existence]]. Things need to be corrected! Those of you who are willingly correcting yourselves and learning to [[focus]] on [[morontia]] realities are those whom we regard as our helpers in turning the [[tide]] into this next era, for which we are grateful. Understood?"

===='''''[[Love]]''''', '''''[[Education]]'''''====

D2: "Tomas I would like to ask another [[question]] since I don't often get to do this a lot. I have one that...I am glad that V1 brought up this [[wonderful]] thing about [[love]]. I was [[reading]] this week a chapter from a [[book]] called ''The Love Connection'' and this book deals with [[education]] and talks about, as [[teachers]], [[parents]], and caregivers we need to primarily teach [[love]]; that [[everything]] in our schools needs to be built on the premise of teaching [[love]] and [[relationships]] between people. And I thought while reading this that I see this a lot when reading [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria_Montessori Montessori] with her whole [[cosmic]] [[universal]] approach. And you know her being in the [[Corps of Destiny]], so you know where that comes from. But to see this coming from someone other than Montessori just really stirred my [[heart]] and I got so [[excited]]. But I see this is [[idealism]] and I see the [[reality]]. And this is the same things that you were talking about earlier, what we would ideally like to have and what is reality out there. As I said, we can't [[bury]] ourselves in a hole, but anyway....Is there some [[point]] in our [[evolution]] where [[humanity]] will be the primary thing/subject taught in [[school]], and from that [[humanity]] being taught that we will flourish? Is this what is taught in [[Light and Life]] schools? Is this an idealism that we will ever reach?"

Tomas: "Have you not [[read]] your teacher's [[the transcripts|transcripts]]? Are you not [[learning]] this today? ([[embarrassed]] [[laughter]] from the group) I do want to make a remark, however, about that word, '[[love]]', and how it relates to my remarks earlier this evening in that I asked you to '''be''' for [[words]] are distrusted. And although those of you/us who have a [[frame of reference]] for [[supernal]] [[love]] have one concept of what that means, most people have no concept of what love is in its highest sense.
