Changes

ABRAHAM: Yes certainly. It is always [[amazing]] to a former chemically dependent [[individual]] to realize how his using does not only affect him, but those who know and [[love]] him. While in the midst of [[addiction]] it is difficult to see beyond your own [[desires]]. Along with a physical dependency there is also a [[mental]] and [[emotional]] one as well, which can stem as far back as early [[childhood]]. As a child you are to experience [[pain]], sadness and [[loneliness]]. Without the care-taking of the loving parent a child can carry this through adulthood. As an adult one can take [[responsibility]] for the amount of [[pain]] intake. Those who depend upon chemicals to [[control]] the amount of pain experienced learn to loose their edge for accomplishing [[goals]], so not only is the [[physical]] effected, but the [[mental]] and [[emotional]] joined forces with the [[ego]] to convince the user that he is better off with them than without. My advice to Ellanor is, you have done what you can. Your [[focus]] is to remain on your [[status]] as a [[child of God]] first. Your [[Indwelling Father]] is ever ready to [[guide]] and endow you with [[wisdom]] as needed. Learn all you can from this particular situation, although it is at times [[painful]]. Take not the [[actions]] of another on as your own [[responsibility]]. You can only control yourself. There is great comfort in the everyday practice of [[stillness]]. Start from here and note all you can. Another question?

CALVIN: Abraham, what [[information]] can you [[share]] with us about what I picked up off the [[Internet]]. Evidently [[Machiventa|Melchizedek]]'s interaction with the [[Reserve Corps of Destiny|Corps of Destiny]] back from the early [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/19th_century 19th century] up until in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1970's 70's] where they organized the [http://www.eoom.org/main.html E.O.O.M., Earth's order of Melchizedek]. It seems to me that their [[interaction]] is more on the line of developing a united order [[governmental]] [[administration]] on the world, not so much as spiritual lessons and teachings and so on. If anything you have might could add or if you want to [[share]] anything with that?

ABRAHAM: If I am [[understanding]] you, my comment would be that there have been numerous helpers who have [[assisted]] [[Urantia]] in the hope that it would move [[Urantia]] into those first stages of [[Light and Life]]. Being an [[experimental planet]] in isolation we have required the assistance of the [[Melchizedeks]] to record [[information]] concerning the development of the [[races]] and the [[dissemination]] of new [[information]]. This is all common [[knowledge]]. What you are referring to, a group of individuals who have a portion of their message correct for the most part. There is a tendency on the part of some [[mortals]] to play up the [[mysticism]] while losing sight of the Melchizedek's actual loving ministries. The [http://www.eoom.org/main.html Order of the Melchizedek] is not [[mechanistic]] [[science fiction]], no. The Melchizedek are dedicated to a great deal of this mortal planets upliftment through [[love]] and [[compassion]]. Does this help? (Yes. With that [[information]] it gives me a [[viewpoint]] to [[study]] this by and analyze it. This is interesting information.) Yes certainly. Another question?

===='''''[[Experience]]'''''====

===='''''[[Experience]]'''''====

MIRIAM: Abraham, since it is personal night, I have been in [[wonder]] of the [[experience]] that my [[husband]] and I had last June. I asked you once before. It was such a [[catalyst]] for my whole [[family]]. I asked you once before what was involved and I think I asked in relation to me. You said it might have been [[Thought Adjuster]] or teacher or [[seraphim]] supported. My question is about my husband. [[Ham]] was so helpful and instrumental in [[guiding]] us as to what would be happening with the situation as he came out of [[danger]]. That whole thing was just (?) with [[energy]], everything about it. It was so exceptional. It was almost unreal. From Don's, my husband, and my point of view it still has a [[reality]] between us [[spiritual]]ly. He is changed because of that. I guess I am just asking in general about what was that that was going on and if you think you can give me any [[guidance]] or [[insight]] to Don? I have never asked. I don't know if it is proper to ask, but it was such a catalyst. I don't know if you need anymore descriptors than that or if you know what I mean.

ABRAHAM: I am [[understanding]] that this [[experience]] was especially crucial for (TR: I thought I was getting his spiritual name. Just a minute. I can't get it. He says that's okay.) Don to understand because it brought him directly face to face with [[reality]] and all that can [[encompass]]. Don, being somewhat of a [[faithful]] son, indeed did experience a rebirth of sorts in that the old [[anxieties]] had fallen away to reveal new [[understandings]], new [[joy]]. In the experience of spiritual birth there is joy and learning, [[confusion]] and [[pain]], learning, and then again, joy. The experience of being born spiritually is not everyday [[miracle]] receiving, but [[spiritual]] [[exercise]]. It would seem that all would be pale in [[comparison]] to this particular experience of such a [[faith]]-filled episode. I do not mean to say that this knowingness you understood at this [[time]] would not come again. I would rather emphasize that being within [[the kingdom]] is not having Father do for you. The experience within the kingdom would teach all that spiritual understanding is [[work]], is reaching out. It is [[reality]]. This knowingness is with you always, and yet I can say at times of [[traumatic]] events you are certainly more [[receptive]] and [[listening]] for instruction. This is where [[fear]] at a time like this may be productive, in that, in your searching you are willing to receive the answers Father gives more faithfully. Yes, you have a spiritual link with Don, and it was [[strengthen]] through this particular [[experience]], but I can also say you, Miriam, do share a spiritual [[bond]] with many, in that you are willing to be open and unconditional in your [[expectations]] of others. You and Don each have Mission assignments, some together, some apart. There is no [[doubt]] that your experience with Don's near [[fatal]] [[injury]] has equipped you each with the [[tools]] to be successful servants to all that you meet. Does this help? (Yes. Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you.)

RACHEL: Yes Father Abraham. I'd like to ask are you and your associates working with and guiding [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_H._Schuller Robert Schuller] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_Cathedral Crystal Cathedral]? (We try.) Laughter. He seems to teach so much right out of the [[Urantia Book]]. He broadcasts to so many nations that it looks to me like he would be a great help.

ABRAHAM: Robert is a source of positive [[spirituality]] for [[the masses]]. Some with the means to reach many will and we work with him to help keep the [[focus]] on positive [[spirituality]]. There is [[negativity]] within the [[Bible]] and Mr. Schuller has an assistant to help him stay focused on those messages that might help to [[inspire]] people and draw them into wondering what is this [[faith]] Mr. Schuller has. Does this answer? (Yes. Thanks.)
