Changes

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 wish 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]].

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.
