Changes

Tonight I will speak with you about [[loyalty]]. Loyalty is a [[gift]] that comes often through [[work]] and through [[experience]]. In the basic form [[loyalty]] is seen as that bond between [[creatures]] that is formed out of [[necessity]]. All of you have understood the aspect of loyalty that you enjoy between yourselves and a pet. This is a basic form of loyalty. Loyalty [[grows]] in [[greatness]] and is a part of the gift of the [[Spirit]] when loyalty [[changes]] from being ego centered to that of being [[altruistic]], that [[desiring]] and wanting to uphold another whether it be a [[person]] or some [[idea]].

The [[apostles]] were [[loyal]] to [[Christ Michael]], however even in their [[love]] and loyalty they were [[human]] with [[weaknesses]] as witnessed by [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_184#184:2._PETER_IN_THE_COURTYARD Peter in his denial of Michael] on the night before His [[crucifixion]]. Yet after the [[Spirit of Truth]] came these men and women were enhanced greatly and went out and lived according to the [[truth]] given. They were [[loyal]] to [[Michael]] and His teachings. As [[ascending beings]] it is understandable when [[weaknesses]] disconnect loyalty bonds. However once a bond has been founded, has been cemented, the overriding [[desire]] to maintain that bond generally circumvents the momentary [[weakness]]. [[Loyalty]] is that gift in which you work to [[maintain]] something that is [[good]], something that is wholesome, something that brings forth a [[progressive]] movement along both of your [[pathways]]. When you are [[feeling]] [[emotions]] and feelings that you cannot always identify but you feel the urge to do, often this stems from this gift of [[loyalty]], of putting aside your own [[problems]] or matters at the time to support another, to [[support]] an [[ideal]]. Loyalty is a gift that calls you forth, that pulls you onward, that often prompts you to [[act]] on behalf of another or in conjunction with another.

And so why are we looking at [[loyalty]] this evening? It is our [[hope]] that in [[isolating]] certain [[concepts]] you will begin to see the [[love]] of the [[First Source and Center]] at work in even the most [[mundane]] experiences of [[life]]'s activities. When you can [[become]] more aware of these [[types]] of bondings, when you can understand [[loyalties]] from a [[God-consciousness]] approach and understanding you will be ever more attentive to the needs of your [[brothers and sisters]]. You will be ever more willing to serve, to [[work]], to help, to [[laugh]], and to enjoy your brothers and sisters. [[Loyalty]] is that [[framework]] in which you can begin to follow [[the Father]]'s wishes to love one another, to break down [[barriers]] that are there, that are caused from [[childhood]] [[experiences]] and/or [[culture]] upbringing and schooling. When you are able to connect and enjoy a measure of [[loyalty]], [[friendship]] between others, you broaden your [[horizons]], your [[perspectives]]. You are able to [[understand]] from not only a gut [[feeling]] but also [[intellectually]].
