Changes

The day to day [[life]] on [[this planet]] certainly has its ups and downs and there are many (?) [[influences]] that blow across the [[plains]]. You [[touched]] upon a [[topic]] tonight that of [[negativity]] that I would like to address. As you know, we have consistently taught about the [[power]] of [[love]], how love is the coin of [[the universe]]. How heart connections are a powerful and desirable [[method]] of [[transmitting]] [[the Father]]’s love. We have not spent much time [[discussing]] the other side of the coin, that of fear (?) [[negativity]]. Perhaps this is a good time to do so. The [[Urantia Book]] describes these [[attitudes]] as [[spirit poisons]], and for good reason. When you permit yourself to feed into these mind sets, you [[short circuit]] your connections with people and with [[the Father]]. These attitudes in large part are prevalent due to your [[animal]] [[heritage]], and as a result are difficult to shed. And yet you will find through life’s lessons that approaching any [[problem]] with [[anger]] or fear or hatred, will not assist in your solution of the problem, but will generally exacerbate the difficulty.

When you [[recognize]] how a [[loving]] approach in the face of a situation that would normally generate [[hatred]] or [[fear]], the situation will become calmer, more manageable and a [[resolution]] will be closer at hand. In [[truth]] a loving approach to any [[problem]] will always better [[assist]] your day to day ability to resolve problems, and a good natured outlook on life will greatly buffer the slings and arrows and [[adversities]] that confront you. Your compadre’ Joan, gives a good example of this, when facing potentially [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_illness terminal illness], she looks for the [[good]] that will come from it. And she is not to be denied that [[perspective]] as indeed, good has already come from the situation. And so we would ask you to [[consciously]] attempt to forego the [[spirit poisons]] of [[fear]], [[hatred]], [[anger]], and the list goes on, you know it well. Instead, replace these responses by ones of [[faith]], that things will work for the best. [[Love]] for those you encounter, even those that are the hardest to love, and a good natured response to trying situations. We think you’ll find that this [[exercise]] will provide you with life [[experiences]] which nurture your [[growth]] and enable you to walk lightly in your [[life]]. Thank you for your kind [[attention]] tonight. I step back. Shalom.
