Changes

[[Midwayers]] have been engaged almost incessantly in this [[process]] of bringing you all under one roof this afternoon. I regret, on your behalf, that our [[influence]] over the [[Physical Controllers]] cannot stop the snow. We will, however, do our best to oversee your [[safety]] in your comings and goings.

I [[understand]] there are some time constraints, as there almost always are in your realm, but while we have a [[moment]], I would like to speak briefly on the [[facet]] of [[being]] that was alluded to in the [[reading]] of [[Michael]] as a boy: [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=UB#Part_IV._The_Life_and_Teachings_of_Jesus Jesus as an elder brother]. In your [[study]] of the [[Urantia Book]] (which is our [[text]] in the [[Teaching Mission]]), you will read, if you have not read and learned already, that the [[golden rule]] involves brotherly love, but that Michael would have you go farther and begin to [[perceive]] each other with a [[140:5 Fatherly and Brotherly Love|fatherly love]] and I will call to your [[attention]] today the beginnings of a fatherly [[affection]] for one another if you could construe yourself as the eldest, the eldest daughter, the eldest son, and look upon your brothers and sisters as if they were your younger [[siblings]]. In this way you may begin to [[perceive]] of human failings as immaturities and as an elder brother, elder sister, you can serve as an example. Not to box their ears, but to establish a role [[model]] of [[maturity]] or [[aspiration]] for behavior that is [[becoming]] to a son or daughter of the [[Most Highs]].

It is [[wonderful]] to have children present here today -- little children as well as big children -- for the [[presence]] of a child always renders an [[environment]] more [[tender]], more [[sensitive]]. Always are adults aware of the presence of children. They [[mind]] their [[behaviors]] better; they mind their [[language]] better, and this is what I call to your mind and ask of you to [[think]] of today, that you yourself are the elder brother or elder sister to each other.
