Rantarason (Jonathan TR): I have a topic to present to you this day; it has to do with patience and its application.
*          Rantarason (Jonathan TR): I have a topic to present to you this day; it has to do with patience and its application.
      
Over the course of the development of civilization on your world your rulers have made errors which disrupted the evolutionary process. This has retarded growth on Urantia. The very intention to circumvent the mandates of revelatory procedure and accelerate progress on this world resulted in its exact opposite, retarded growth. All of us today engaged in this mission of uplift are likewise constrained to the orders of our supervisors regarding what we may present and what must wait for your growth in order to accommodate. So, we have all made the pledge of patience. However, this patience is not passive; it is active. It is a patience which seeks to accomplish the goal, which considers the time-connected difficulties. It is a patience that keenly observes the difficulty and aggressively applies remedies.

Evelyn: The question of agondonter status came up at our Wednesday group. I understand it as something inevitable; we are agondonters because we live here. The other view is that it is achieved through having faith in the face of rebellion. Could you clarify that?

Line 39: Line 39:  
On the heels of my presentation to you today, I must restate that you who value this agondonter quality must be active. Do not let the cherished status of agondonter class lull you into thinking that preventing celestial contact is improving your standing. To simply be without the guidance of your superior ascending creatures does not immediately qualify you. What qualifies you is your intended application to live truth in spite of its apparent absence.

Evelyn: It's amusing when people express that fear of losing their status. It reminds me of someone not wanting to leave prison because they will lose their benefits. Thank you and I appreciate the lesson on active patience.

Elyon: Very well said. Often you find in your discoveries in regards to the search for truth, even in falseness there are many elements of truth as in separate and distinct colors emanating from the prism. They originated in truth; each one has a fragment, aspect of truth to it, but each one is incomplete when given its relationship to the whole.

Jonathan: When we were introduced to you, Ham told us of your ability with words. It never ceases to amaze me how you use word imagery to help us visualize the lessons. Thank you.
