TARA: This is the day of our next [[UB|Urantia study group]] meeting. Is there a further message this [[morning]]?
MALCOM: Little one, I would like to comment further on the [[concept]] of the deep mind, but in the [[context]] of the practice of [[stillness]]. We would like you to grasp the importance of seeking [[the Father]] in the [[quietness]] of your mind, for in this place, set apart from the [[busyness]] of life, are you able to have deep and loving [[communion]] with Him, who has created you, loves you and wills that you [[become]] like Him.
He has provided for you a [[Ta|spirit fragment]] of Himself and as you [[progress]] and grow spiritually and [[develop]] that immortal, evolving [[essence]] of yourself, you will be able to more clearly commune with this fragment spirit essence of [[the Father]] within. Here, He can [[adjust]] your [[thoughts]] and it’s patterns so that you can be in greater [[harmony]] with His will for you. But only as you will and as you seek this divine [[connection]], will you be so encircuited.
Why is this important? Because it is as He has [[designed]] you and created you, to evolve to this [[degree]] of [[reception]] of His plans and [[purposes]] for you. Now it is possible for all His children to [[understand]] and [[perceive]] more clearly His divine will.
You also have within you the power of the [[Spirit of Truth]] sent by your Creator/Father [[Michael]] to assist, [[guide]], and teach you. All you need do is ask, knock as it were, and it shall be opened unto you.
So seek and ask in those times you set aside to be still and to pray and to ask and to [[listen]].
The Fathers hear you and do surely answer you according to what is best for you and for all their children, like any loving, kind and [[generous]] and [[caring]] [[parent]]. The [[Holy Spirit]] is also here to [[comfort]], [[guide]] and [[support]] you in your daily walk with [[the Father]].
Here, in these quiet times in the [[stillness]], is the quality time you spend with [[the Father]].
A time for rest and [[comfort]] and [[renewing]] of your “spiritual batteries.”
[[Our Master]], [[Christ Michael]] showed you by His own example the [[value]] of these times spent [[alone]] with His Father. Always did [[Michael]] seek the will of the Father, throughout His life and ministry upon [[Urantia]]. He exemplified a sure and positive way to always keep [[connected]] to the spirit currents of [[the Universe]], the Universal First Cause of All that is.
We, His children should follow His [[wise]] example. Why? Because then you will have definite [[direction]], clearer [[understanding]], spiritual [[courage]], more brotherly [[tolerance]], deeper [[love]] and [[desire]] to be more effectual in your loving [[service]] to your brethren and your [[community]] at large. You will most certainly show forth the “[[fruits of the spirit]]” that are [[growing]] and developing within you. You need this nurturance of [[the Father]] within your deep mind, obtained in the [[stillness]] practice.
So seek and ask in those times you set aside to be still and to pray and to ask and to listen.
So we [[admonish]] you to become fruitful. Stay [[connected]] to [[the source]] of your [[power]] for [[growth]] in the [[spirit]]. This is your [[calling]] and your [[service]] for the Father: to shine forth, showing a [[countenance]] of good cheer, expressing [[love]] and [[devotion]] and right action in your [[life]], in all your serving, in all your [[relationships]] and [[interactions]] out in the fields among the “sheep.”
My, it seems we have woven [[parables]] and modern [[technology]] all into a [[modern]] lesson, for a current mind set! Therein lies the [[wonder]] of evolving [[progress]] of [[mankind]]. [[The Master]] taught in [[parables]] using current examples of the [[experiences]] of His listeners of that day.
Today the same lessons can be taught using [[modern]] day [[experiences]] and examples.
In the far distant [[future]] other concepts and [[ideas]] will surely be used.
This can be of [[value]] to you today when you are approached to [[explain]] the present [[Fifth Epochal Revelation]] to others in this more [[modern]] and [[scientific]] age. This world needs an updated and understandable [[revelation]] of the truth which it has in the [[Urantia Book]]!
This can be of value to you today when you are approached to explain the present Fifth Epochal Revelation to others in this more modern and scientific age. This world needs an updated and understandable revelation of the truth which it has in the Urantia Book!
Therefore let the spirits [[guide]] you and teach you and [[prepare]] you for more meaningful [[service]] to [[modern]] man today. This you do in your [[devotion]] to [[study]], [[prayer]], the [[stillness]] practice, your deep mind [[training]], in your continual progression in [[understanding]], and your daily living of your lessons learned. This is indeed your religious [[experience]] that develops you and [[prepares]] you for your service and your [[ultimate]] [[survival]] and [[ascension]].
With that said I will close and bid you a good day and a rewarding and prosperous and enjoyable meeting this evening.
