Really is your [[earth]] yet only starting an age of upheaval that is sure to [[change]] thinking throughout subsequent ages. Interest in the [[probability]] of other human worlds is a sort of [[preparation]] for this rethinking, where old borders [[collapse]] and new and higher cultural, religious, and scientific awareness can infuse its potentiality quietly, even [[unconsciously]], throughout the whole world.
Really is your [[earth]] yet only starting an age of upheaval that is sure to [[change]] thinking throughout subsequent ages. Interest in the [[probability]] of other human worlds is a sort of [[preparation]] for this rethinking, where old borders [[collapse]] and new and higher cultural, religious, and scientific awareness can infuse its potentiality quietly, even [[unconsciously]], throughout the whole world.
[[Religion]] is the first to exhibit [[change]] and motivated awareness expansion. As [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinduism Hindus], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam Moslems], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity Christians] each struggle for advancing [[political]] [[authority]], our revelation shall shine unto all comers, and those who come shall [[eventually]] lead this world forward in all areas of [[thought]]."

No longer is the prize won upon this earth. There exists nothing here to fight over once your [[understanding]] has advanced. Only is the advancement of the heavenly reign important and only as men freely choose to give up earthly power will it increasingly be spread abroad in the land, the world Urantia.

Here's the question Olfana answered with a lesson on "The Rock in the Water":
QUESTION: I'm having trouble [[understanding]] what I perceive to be contradictory emphasis in books like "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_and_Health_with_Key_to_the_Scriptures Keys to the Scripture]" and "[[A Course in Miracles]]" with books like the [[Urantia Book]]. On the one hand, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_and_Health_with_Key_to_the_Scriptures Christian Science] and [[ACIM]] seem to emphasize to me a very high level of [[understanding]] of a spiritual world, and seem to denounce the [[reality]] of a materialistic world. Yet [[books]] like [[Kryon]]'s book and the [[UB]] seem to indulge in endless [[speculation]] about [[energy]] forces and [[material]] forces. The involvement that (name) has with the [[healing]] energies, including her involvement with the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flower_essences flower essences] and the [http://www.crucible.org/gem_elixir1.htm gemelixers], imply these are crucial to your [[background]] in [[spiritual evolution]] and her [[understanding]] of [[healing]]. Can you [[clarify]] some of this for me?

OLFANA (after gaining approval to use [[symbolism]] in her explanation): "If you place a rock in water, is it not true that your [[perception]] of the rock can [[change]] when you view it looking downward into the water? And then shift, and [[perceive]] the rock from, let us say, the side of a container that holds this rock and water. Also, if you placed your [[face]] in the water, would you again see the rock from a slightly changed [[perspective]]?

(Answer is affirmative) Then please hold this [[image]] in your mind as we proceed to discuss concepts of the [[body]]. The [[physical]], bio-chemical [[mechanism]], or instrument, you are housed in is now, indeed, like the rock of [[material]] substance. Yet your [[perception]] of this body you inhabit can change depending on your [[perspective]]. Sometimes you feel you are the rock in the water. Yet this is only one [[perspective]]. When you look from outside the cylinder through the water, does not the rock appear [[magnified]], greater than its original image?

Your [[consciousness]] is not only [[connected]] to this [[physical]] [[being]]. Much of your perceptions of your consciousness as limited to this body is [[illusory]], just as the rock appearing [[magnified]] is an illusion of [[light]] [[waves]] affected by the water. Lessons learned from the [[perspective]] of being in the body are a [[necessary]] part of your experience in this lifetime. However, you are, indeed, so much more than what the body appears to limit you to, that teachings such as [[ACIM|the Course]] or the doctrines of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_and_Health_with_Key_to_the_Scriptures Christian Science], [[encourage]] you to expand your perceptions past these body limitations.

The true [[essence]] of the rock is not [[modified]] by these perceptual [[changes]] caused by different [[viewpoints]] of it. Just so, your body is not limited by body [[perceptions]]. Higher [[truths]] [[surrounding]] the complete make-up of your [[being]] are not fully understood or widely taught on [[your planet]]. I might say, you have seen the rock from many different angles in this cylinder of water. But, thus far, you have not reached in and pulled out the rock in order to gaze upon it [[alone]].

I might say, you have seen the rock from many different angles in this cylinder of water. But, thus far, you have not reached in and pulled out the rock in order to gaze upon it [[alone]].
The water [[surrounding]] this rock is [[representative]] of the many [[illusions]] or [[beliefs]] that exist in your philosophical [[doctrines]]. [[ACIM]] encourages you, as does the work of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Baker_Eddy Mary Baker Eddy], to see that these illusions can be penetrated and, through [[inspiration]], a clearer [[perspective]]-perception of the true entity that you are, can be [[discovered]].

However, doctrinaire [[interpretations]] that the body has no [[existence]] on the physical plane are also incorrectly stated-[[perceived]]. You cannot deny that one is seeing an aspect of the rock, even when viewed through water. Just so, seeing the body as a [[physical]] [[entity]] has some accuracy. [[Adjustments]] to the vibrational [[manifestation]] of your entity can indeed take place. And physical imbalances do occur. These teachings of such matters as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flower_essences flower essences], [[energy]] transmissions and [[adjustments]] are appropriate to one level of perception of your being. You are not removed from the water yet!

Therefore, within the boundaries of this [[perception]], the body needs to be dealt with. Indeed, the time comes when you are truly released from any limiting [[perceptions]] of your being as connected to a [[physical]] manifestation. But, it is the [[ideal]] which is striven for in [[ACIM]] or the Christian Science teachings. Those who can release themselves from [[illusions]] of [[body]] boundaries can indeed create new perceptions of themselves -- healed perceptions of themselves. But most [[mortals]] need to begin their comprehension of themselves at a level much more connected to the [[physical]] world. In the Course, Jesus says: "If taking a pill allows you to feel less [[anxious]] then, by all means, take the pill." There is much [[truth]] in this teaching.

There is so much coming forth, more will be coming forth in the years ahead. You should select [[disciplines]] and [[philosophies]] that are [[appealing]] to you. [[Explore]] them, build your [[talents]], and your expertise in these areas so that you may [[discuss]] them fully and intelligently.

It is our fond [[hope]] that the whole field of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_medicine alternative medicine] will become part of an all-[[encompassing]] practice of medicine which greatly multiplies the limited and narrow abilities that your [[doctors]] now have through their techniques of [[surgery]] and [[drugs]] that mask [[symptoms]].

In coming years, in the immediate years ahead, you will find many [[exciting]] things coming from the fountain of you [[inspired]] humans. You have [[tuned]] in to [[celestial]] [[connections]]. We look forward to it with great [[anticipation]]."

So this [[growth]] from within will not be so evident for some time to come in [[institutions]], which can readily hide their [[progress]]. But while the leadership may seek to [[resist]] and hide this progress it will surely overflow from the membership ranks, from those who are concerned, who are quite restless for something better, for new solutions. The [[realization]] that we must take [[responsibility]] for our lives, for turning them over to [[institutions]] has not worked.

We have turned over our [[parenting]] [[responsibilities]] too often to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television televisions] and [[schools]]. We must [[embrace]] our own [[children]] and teach them and [[love]] them at the same time. Our institutions will continue to fail. There will continue to be turmoil. There will be economic failures. There will be mighty [[resistance]] to those who would [[change]] these institutions for they will feel threatened and they will struggle to maintain their [[wealth]] and [[power]].

These are truly times of great [[conflict]], growing conflict, but at the same time a joyous conflict as people begin to rise up in numbers, [[individually]] beginning to take [[responsibility]] for their lives and to cast their lives in a [[spiritual]] framework.

We [[hope]] to be able to assist in the [[process]] of seeing with spiritual eyes, so that the [[decisions]] you make as you cross [[opportunities]] can be imbued with the [[grace]] that such a perspective will give.

And in truth, you must assume that there will be no great signs or events other than your own enlightenment, for this world will not change because of events, it will change because one person plants a seed in another, who in turn, plants a seed in a third, and so on, until the crop has been planted, matures and then is harvested.

And in [[truth]], you must [[assume]] that there will be no great [[signs]] or [[events]] other than your own [[enlightenment]], for this world will not [[change]] because of [[events]], it will change because one person plants a [[seed]] in another, who in turn, plants a seed in a third, and so on, until the crop has been planted, [[matures]] and then is harvested.
It does seem to be a stretch of the [[imagination]] for those in your [[position]]. However, from our [[perspective]], it is the only way. This is not to say that great things may not happen, and indeed they are [[expected]], however, the failing of those to occur should in no way diminish your interest in personal [[spiritual growth]]. For whether a [[materialization]] ever occurs in your [[presence]] should not impact your own strivings and [[enlightenment]] toward [[the Father]].
Each day you must continue to watch for [[opportunities]] that may arise in your [[path]]. Each day you should wake up [[thanking]] [[the Father]] for another opportunity to go forth into the world. Each day you should be the best conduit for [[the Father]]'s love that you can be.
This is not a [[passive]] [[activity]] in which you are involved.

God's love is amplified through our projection--our extension. This extension can be likened to what happens when we throw a pebble in a lake--the waves go outward, never ceasing until they meet the shore. Only with our extension of love, there is no shore to stop its ever widening projection. If mortal man could see with spiritual perspective, he would see how every gentle touch, every kindness extended to the brotherhood, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem on the surface, has an ongoing, never-ending effect on the total.

When one begins communion with the Father, through seeking the silence, there begins to be a connection made. Each time the silence is sought, the connection is made stronger. Utilizing a hit and miss attitude regarding one's silence practice, is not conducive to building that strong connection.
===='''''[[Stillness]]'''''====
When one begins [[communion]] with [[the Father]], through seeking the [[silence]], there begins to be a [[connection]] made. Each time the [[silence]] is sought, the [[connection]] is made stronger. Utilizing a hit and miss [[attitude]] regarding one's silence [[practice]], is not conducive to building that strong connection.
An [[analogy]] might be helpful. Picture, if you will, the gas tank of your car. If, each time you wanted to drive the vehicle, you simply put in a couple of cups of gas, just enough to get you where you wanted to go and no further, that would be all the distance you could expect from your vehicle. However, if you kept the tank more full, going further distances would always be available to you. You would not be scraping the bottom of the tank, so to speak.
A full tank is best, a half full tank is certainly better than an empty one. I know you all are striving to [[do the Father's will]]; [[recognize]] that it is [[the Father]]'s will, that you seek [[communion]] with Him. He cannot work in you and through you, unless you [[strengthen]] this connection, to the most optimum benefit of you and the [[brotherhood]]. Try making that [[commitment]] for two weeks, then you be the judge of whether the benefits outweighed the inconvenience.

[[Book of Revelation|These episodes]] of [[revelation]] that were presented to [[John, the Apostle|John]] during his time of [[alienation]] from fellow believers were undertaken in order to compile [[information]] that would create a conceptual [[foundation]] for religious and theological [[development]] for centuries to come. They involved [[training]] your type of [[being]] in [[comprehension]] of the goings-on in [[heaven]].
The [[information]] given was intended to sustain you for millennia. Our [[choice]] of [[John, the Apostle|John]] was due to the observance that he was capable of grasping the spiritual significance of [[statements]] and [[experiences]] that happened in his life.
What you have today, your [[Urantia Book]], is the final outcome. It has now provided you with the [[structure]] of [[the universes]] that began to be told to John, even as it was first taught by [[Planetary Prince|your prince]]. Your record contains many [[metaphorical]] and [[allegorical]] pictures that have been [[interpreted]] over the ages such that a settled system of interpretation has developed, disallowing further wresting of [[truth]] from the passages. The beast has multiple [[meanings]] that are for you to interpret. Do not be concerned that this marking is a sign of [[defect]]. It is rather indicative of your [[natural]] state. It has been thought of as an impurity, a result of the age-long development in [[Christianity]] of the concept of human inferiority and the [[fear]] of [[evil]]'s superiority.
You have only one [[responsibility]] to this phrase, (and the fragments of [[John, the Apostle|John]]'s efforts to relate to you his [[experiences]]) and that is to [[interpret]] in your experience the messages that have [[value]] in your life. Be not concerned for the [[obscurity]], for much of the obscurity has nothing to do with our [[disguising]] the message, but rather, is the result of ages of human [[preservation]] and [[manipulation]].

Recognize the [[potential]] contained within you. [[Infinity]] is your [[possession]]. [[The Father]] has revealed Himself to all of you by placing Himself at your core. There is but the mere [[cycles]] of [[growth]] for this to be fully realized. Herein is your reservoir for giving [[love]]. Herein is your [[strength]] for [[service]], for realizing [[joy]], even in [[diversity]], even in [[difficulty]], even when confronted with diametrically [[opposing]] views.
Know that you are [[worthy]] of this gift. 'Why,' might you ask? Because the gift is already within you. There is nothing to earn, no credits to [[achieve]]. Before you were even [[aware]], He was upon you. If there was ever anything to be thankful for, it is this spark. You are as close to [[God]] as any [[creature]] would [[hope]] to be, simply by the mere [[fact]] that He is closer to you than any could ever be.

[[Your planet]] is poised on the [[fulcrum]] of tremendous [[change]]; however, [[free will]] determines the [[direction]] of its [[potential]]. Division must be replaced by [[unity]], for only together will planetary [[evolution]] actualize the [[supernal]] and resplendent [[purpose]] of the [[Supreme]].
[[Toleration]] is a rudimentary step in the [[unfoldment]] of [[love]]; therefore, perfect this [[noble]] quality of mortality. Genuine tolerance always precedes the [[ability]] to [[love]] and originates in each [[heart]] until it [[becomes]] a natural [[essence]] that will evolve into [[social]] [[value]].
If you truly endeavor to recognize the [[divinity]] in one another, you will realize the [[triviality]] of externality. The [[beautiful]] bond of kinship will actualize the reality of universal [[brotherhood]], and you will deeply desire the [[spiritual growth]] of all your earthly siblings through [[love]].
[[Criticism]], derision, and [[violence]] are born in [[fear]], yet your sincere [[realization]] of your divine [[eternity]] will set you free and enable you to cherish one another whenever His Will reigns unencumbered in your [[heart]].
The [[genesis]] of [[light and life]] on [[every planet]] has its [[causality]] in the intelligent comprehension of [[divinity]] and the enduring [[vitality]] of [[love]]. The brilliant beacons of exalted [[ideals]] will one day [[illuminate]] your shadowy sphere with the exquisite [[radiance]] of enlightened [[transformation]] that will shine brightly in the completeness of His love."

It is the fervent [[hope]] and [[belief]] of [[Machiventa]] that there will be an ending [[gradually]] of religious [[conflict]] and that religions need to work together for the common [[good]] of mankind. Widespread [[suspicion]] exists, especially between [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam Muslims] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judaism Jews] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity Christians]. This is a lack of [[recognition]] of the professed oneness of [[God]] [[shared]] between these religions.
Truly it is such that your world is still in [[transition]] into [[monotheism]] and the gods of your religions today are gods of peoples [[separate]] from each other. This is a sad thing to see, and a dangerous one. Even Christianity itself has become splintered so as to cause [[war]] or to justify wars.
The [[unification]] of the world's religions will lead to the unification of the world as a whole, as one people. This is the [[essential]] basis of the [[fifth epochal revelation]]. Its [[purpose]] and its [[goal]]. World peace cannot be [[achieved]] by the overthrow of religious faiths, by the [[conquering]] of one over another.
This will not help or [[change]] anything. Therefore, it is our [[understanding]] that a new religion of [[transcendent]] [[values]] shall be born. One that can unite all [[faiths]] under the banner of [[Michael]]. [[Christianity]], as it is now, is incapable of this. It is the dying [[seed]] out of which a new [[faith]] will be born. Christianity, as you know it, will not [[endure]]. It has [[become]] too rigid and too identified with a people.
It is your [[profound]] [[responsibility]] to undertake the founding of this great [[faith]]. The concerns of your world are being undertaken by vast legions of [[celestial helpers]]. You will be aided in your tasks, and all tasks are contributing. All tasks grow out of this common [[goal]]. All tasks are aiding this common goal.

Each day when you awake, you are faced with many options. Most of you prepare for school or work or other activities which you habitually participate in, and these patterns that evolve become almost automatic at times. And so your day's time balance is often not necessarily prearranged, but the time is spoken for, and usually this is sufficient to give you the feeling of balance.
===='''''[[Balance]]'''''====
Each day when you [[awake]], you are faced with many [[options]]. Most of you [[prepare]] for school or work or other activities which you habitually [[participate]] in, and these patterns that evolve become almost [[automatic]] at times. And so your day's time [[balance]] is often not necessarily prearranged, but the time is spoken for, and usually this is sufficient to give you the [[feeling]] of [[balance]].
However, in other areas in your lives, especially in your discretionary time, where there are [[different]] [[choices]] of activities available to you, [[balance]] is more consciously sought. You like to have time for your [[families]], your [[leisure]], your [[hobbies]], your spiritual [[seeking]], your material [[maintenance]], and a myriad of other possible activities. And so it is with this [[group]], as we see a struggle for [[balance]].
Initially, the group was extremely [[enthusiastic]] at the prospect of [[contact]] with [[the Teachers|celestial teachers]], and that is understandable in [[light]] of the uniqueness of such an [[experience]].
But after the initial excitement waned, the [[group]] began the process of the hard [[work]] involved with the lessons we suggested, the [[1-2-3 exercise]], the [[listening]] exercise, the attempts to do small [[kindnesses]] to those we met, the attempt to [[visualize]] all we saw and encountered as other children of God, the attempts at [[selfless]] [[service]], and so on. And we went through a [[phase]] where everyone consciously made an effort to go about these activities in their daily lives, without changing their [[normal]] patterns, but instead imbuing them with a new [[consciousness]] which changed the [[manner]] in which activities were engaged in.
And so there was a [[desire]] for great things to happen, and this is a [[natural]] human interest, a desire to have [[Melchizedek schools]] constructed; built, staffed, and operational. The [[desire]] for great [[spiritual]] changes and [[material]] changes on [[this world]] and many other of our fondest [[dreams]]. And throughout this period, there was the [[emotional]] ups and downs of [[hopes]] and then hopes dashed and so we've struggled for [[balance]] throughout these periods as will always be the case throughout your lives and thereafter.
But part of [[this Mission]] and our lessons to you involve the ability to take what we've told you, to avoid being [[fanatics]] by the prospects and to use this [[knowledge]] to [[transform]] yourselves so that you become purveyors of good [[cheer]], so that you became better [[fathers]], [[mothers]], [[children]], and every other [[activity]] that you're involved in, you'll become lighter and more [[attractive]] as you perform your [[duties]].
You will also begin losing [[fear]] of so many possible [[negative]] things that could happen, because your [[faith]] has grown that in the end all will work for the best. Indeed, the most [[balanced]] of people are those that can ride the [[surface]] of the tempest and yet not be effected, that can have [[faith]] in [[the Father]], and through that faith, can divest themselves of many of the unnecessary [[spiritual]] [[poisons]] that so many people carry with them.
This [[balance]] does not require [[discussions]] on a daily, weekly, or annual basis with [[celestial]] [[personalities]]. As we've said before, we're a minor part of this entire [[process]]. And yet it is thought that we can cause you to [[remember]] to [[consciously]] move yourselves to a more [[balanced]] position than when you began. And of course a large part of this balance is [[attained]] through the daily [[stillness]] practice that we have attempted to [[encourage]] you to [[participate]] in.
So as with any endeavor, it is a long road, a road where you take small [[steps]], but [[eventually]] climb tall [[mountains]]. It is not something that you will see the results of overnight, but others see them in you.
And when you achieve the type of [[balance]] that we are speaking of, you will become more [[influential]] with those you know. You will [[become]] a role [[model]] for those who lie in [[fear]], for they can see your good cheer and lightheartedness, in the face of [[adversity]], and they will know that you have found something, something upon which you have built a [[foundation]], something which you have grown in your [[soul]], and can never be taken from you. And that is the kind of [[balance]] that each of you struggles with every day, and which we [[hope]] our lessons, our [[encouragement]] and our suggested routines have assisted you in developing.

All of us within this room, have our own individual understanding of what faith means to us, of where we fit in the Father's scheme of things. All of you process information in different ways.

All of us within this room, have our own [[individual]] [[understanding]] of what [[faith]] means to us, of where we fit in [[the Father]]'s scheme of things. All of you [[process]] [[information]] in different ways. Some of you are more [[intellectual]], or as my student prefers to think, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_brain left-brained], others of you are more [[emotionally]] inclined, and process more from the right hemisphere.
All of these [[individual]] ways of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_processing processing] are valid, but we are coming into a new [[time]], where we will begin more and more to [[function]] as [[integrated]] humans. By integrated, I mean that you will be processing information utilizing [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_brain both hemispheres] of your [[brain]], in concert with your opening [[heart]], and this indeed, will push you forward into this new time, as a new people.
You are beginning now, in this time, individually, as you begin to push yourselves to become more [[integrated]]. All of you will move along your [[individual]] [[paths]] as you will, and that is to be [[expected]], and is as it should be.
There is no hurry when looking at the larger picture. There is only hurry when looking at the [[linear]] patterns in your [[life]], and you are human, and at this point in your development tend to be more linear in your processing. But this too, is changing. The old world is indeed, beginning to pass away and the new world is [[becoming]] more and more within your range of [[consciousness]].
Continue to open your [[hearts]], my beloved [[students]] and see what is right before your eyes. The New [[Dawn]] is indeed, here. Many of you will [[experience]] larger and bigger openings within the coming months, perhaps at this [[conference]] you seek to host.

We have and are continuing to form a network across your world. Each connection adds strength to the whole.

If you could see from our [[perspective]], you would see an umbrella of [[love]] and [[service]] covering your world with connecting lines. It is our job to infuse those connections with the [[energy]] needed for the work that must be done.
As more workers are added to the network, more [[energy]] is poured into the [[connections]]. Soon [[Urantia|your entire world]] will be [[embraced]] in the arms of [[the Father]]'s love.You all play a part in your own [[unique]] way. It matters not what [[method]] of service you [[choose]]. You are all on the [[path]] to reach [[the Father]]. Whatever method you choose to accomplish this [[service]] is entirely a [[personal]] choice.
One may appear to be super-charged with [[energy]], and distribute [[love]] in a more energetic fashion; another may go about their day in a more [[quiet]] fashion, [[sharing]] with others their knowledge of their [[insights]], or simply extending their [[love]].
This will all come together and create the [[necessary]] umbrella of [[love]] covering [[your planet]]. There will be a great up-stepping of this spiritual message and its resulting [[influence]] throughout your world.

You will significantly contribute to this overall accomplishment. This will happen. There is no longer a reason for [[doubt]]. We know it is now [[secured]]. [[Your planet]] will come through, and join its rightful place within the [[universe]].
There will come a day when all [[disease]] is wiped away. There will come a time when the people of your world will be one. This takes [[time]]. For you it may seem like a long time; to us it is but a brief period.
Do not be dismayed if you cannot see [[the fruits]] of your [[labor]]. There will come a time when you WILL see. For now, step out in [[faith]], and know that you accomplish much.

You know, Jesus said, "I am the Bread of Life," and he is, and you have each experienced the nourishment of taking him into your soul. Spirit hunger is no longer painful but rather the normal course of receiving his love and peace as well as your lessons for attaining his presence.
===='''''[[Growth]]''''', '''''[[Supreme]]'''''====
You know, [[Jesus]] said, "[[179:5|I am the Bread of Life]]," and he is, and you have each [[experienced]] the nourishment of taking him into your [[soul]]. [[Spirit]] [[hunger]] is no longer painful but rather the [[normal]] [[course]] of [[receiving]] his [[love]] and [[peace]] as well as your lessons for attaining his [[presence]].
I will offer another element to this bread of which he spoke. Your [[growth]] is [[service]]. It is service to the [[Supreme]]; it is service to [[Michael]]. The entire realm of the [[finite]] is as rising dough, ever expanding, enlarging to [[become]] the finished [[reality]] it is intended to be by our [[God]].
You are an element within this. If bread were to rise unevenly and remain dense in a particular area, the finished result would be less than [[perfect]]. Your [[soul]] expansion is [[necessary]] to lift the [[Supreme]].
It is important to receive the [[yeast]]ing of [[ministry]] provided to you from your [[indwelling spirit]]. It is important for you to receive the kneading provided by your [[life]] [[episodes]]. It is important for you to receive the [[resting]] time of [[stillness]] in order to cultivate the spirit within and actualize in your [[awareness]] His [[presence]] in order to be this presence as you live. It is important for you to be salted with [[sanity]] and [[sobriety]] to understand your [[limitations]], to carefully guard from [[fanatical]] [[expression]] and over-rapid growth.
You are each one with our [[Universal Father|infinite Father]]. [[Michael]] has provided all the ingredients in his realm for you to fulfill the commission of God to become [[perfect]], for you to be able to rise to the occasion.
Be willing to undergo the [[challenges]], the stretching, the poundings that both provide for your upliftment and for the elimination of [[stages]] of [[progress]] that you no longer need to contain within you. As in your baking processes you beat down your dough, your [[life]] [[episodes]] that are [[difficult]] are as important as is the rise.
When we have accomplished our task and settled these realms in [[light and life]], we will be overjoyed in our accomplishment. The [[aroma]] of [[supremacy]] will be tantalizing to all who enter into our kitchen.

The issue of self-discipline is one which many people struggle with in this life, on a planet especially such as this -- one so imbalanced and prone to misperceptions of healthy choices.
===='''''[[Discipline]]'''''====
The issue of [[self]]-[[discipline]] is one which many people [[struggle]] with in this life, on a planet especially such as this -- one so imbalanced and prone to misperceptions of healthy choices.
You can always benefit greatly from the "tried and true" [[path]] of looking inward for this [[Thought Adjuster|Voice of God]] which continually reaches out toward you. You have so little [[encouragement]], now, on [[this planet]], to regard this Voice as the great [[guide]] which it is! It is as if those who chose this [[effort]] must do so by overcoming the [[prejudices]] which exist regarding this [[process]]. They are often discouraged from such an effort by [[statements]] such as: "All you will hear is what you want to hear." "You will only be talking to yourself." "You cannot find the [[Guidance]] of God within the small confines of your own [[mind]]."
This is most incorrect! I [[encourage]] you to trust greatly in the [[ability]] of the [[Thought Adjuster]]'s guidance, the Voice of God within you, to ring clearly within your [[mind]] and [[heart]] -- if you will only come to this [[process]] with an open mind and a willingness to listen, a willingness to [[ponder]] what you sense. Consider it from many [[perspectives]].
This is most incorrect! I encourage you to trust greatly in the ability of the Thought Adjuster's guidance, the Voice of God within you, to ring clearly within your mind and heart -- if you will only come to this process with an open mind and a willingness to listen, a willingness to ponder what you sense. Consider it from many perspectives.
"Chew on it!," as it were. This is an [[expression]] I enjoy within your [[language]]. "Chew" on this guidance. Savor the flavor of this [[Truth]]! Does it not only nourish you, but appease your appetite for Truth?
[[Self]]-[[discipline]] also requires an [[abandonment]] of the [[ego]]'s [[desire]] to be in charge. If you are led by this voice which rationalizes continually the [[noble]] effort you might otherwise choose, or the noble effort you might make, you are being drawn down by the [[ego]]!
It will continually attempt to convince you that such [[efforts]], such choices, will not, indeed, reward you in any way, will go unappreciated . ... perhaps will be a [[waste]] of your otherwise precious time. It will operate from the [[anxieties]] which you can be so prone to suffer from.
[[Self]]-[[discipline]] can be [[motivated]] by, instead, saying to yourself: "I will make this effort for God." "I will make this effort for the good of my [[soul]]." "I will make this effort for the common good of others." "I will make this effort as an example to others of my [[intention]] to sincerely serve. "
I am speaking here not only of issues of self-discipline that are those regarding one's use of one's [[time]], or one's [[decisions]] which affect others. I am also speaking of those issues of self-discipline which involve the [[maintenance]] of one's bio-[[physical]] being, one's [[body]], one's "Temple for the Soul."

"I will regard any [[chemical]] substance that I put into my body by high [[standards]] of [[health]] and [[discipline]]."

"I will not allow my body to become encumbered by [[choices]] which will only diminish my ability to use this body, this Gift from God in this world, which can, instead, serve [[the Father]]'s [[purpose]]."
I [[hope]] I have conveyed to you [[encouragement]], and a strong sense of [[purpose]], in the reasoning behind [[choices]] of self-discipline with this lesson. Thank you very much for your patient [[attention]] to my words.

You are entirely only a spiritual expression of the living God. His gift is the wonder of existence. Your gift is realizing the wonder of your existence. The Father acts in you and through you, gradually, perfecting you as is his plan and purpose for you.
===='''''[[Language]]''''', '''''[[Perfection]]'''''====
You are entirely only a [[spiritual]] [[expression]] of the living [[God]]. His gift is the [[wonder]] of [[existence]]. Your gift is realizing the wonder of your existence. [[The Father]] [[acts]] in you and through you, [[gradually]], perfecting you as is his [[plan]] and [[purpose]] for you.
Your [[free will]] gift consists in [[accepting]] your selves, your own [[individuality]] and precious uniqueness, which has no duplication, neither [[past]] nor [[future]]. When you accept your selves as you are in this [[moment]], you have also accepted him as an [[integral]] part of your [[self]]. As you [[understand]] this in [[totality]], you will see that there is only one will. Your will and the divine will are one. Then there are no more [[conflicts]].
[[Joy]], [[freedom]], [[energy]] is in oneness, in completion, in accord with [[the universe]] and all created beings. This is, in [[fact]], [[self-realization]] as well as the realization of [[heaven]] on [[earth]]. Most of you will have had [[glimpses]] of this [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nirvana nirvanic state]. This wholeness and complete feeling of [[oneness]].
[[English]] is a difficult language for this [[expression]]. There is no verb which is applicable for this [[soul]] [[motion]], this [[becoming]] and [[being]] at once. For this is not a statically blissful state. This is a state of movement. Your words [[joy]] and bliss convey a temporary state which one enters and leaves. The true bliss of continual [[self-realization]] and the [[simultaneous]] understanding, which grows continually deeper, and higher and wider, of the divine being who dwells within is an [[action]] [[word]]. Words are limiting and are continually in need of advancing as the human cultural state advances and expands to include higher [[ideals]] and [[concepts]]. Your words will need to be similarly expanded.
The [[local universe]] language is adequate for conveying a number of subtle [[differences]] between spiritual [[states]]. Have [[patience]] with our groping to convey concepts which have outgrown your [[language]]. Also I am not yet allowed to use [[local universe]] terms.
