You have each been [[magnetizing]] yourselves throughout this lesson period, have been [[consciously]] aligning separate aspects so as to [[work]] in [[cooperation]] with each other. You have [[consciously]] [[proceeded]] with this objective as well as unconsciously. The net result is that you have become charged and much as the [[compass]], if passed around an object of [[interference]], the needle of a compass may waver slightly in one direction or another, but when the object or impediment is removed the needle steadies itself and accurately points in the correct direction. You may liken yourselves to the needle of this [[compass]]. You have no real [[options]] in your [[future]] [[existence]] other than to point in the direction of [[truth]], in the direction of [[the Father]]. You may and will waver slightly as you encounter various [[obstacles]], various charges around you, but when unobstructed you will most clearly point the way. [[Realizing]] this [[tendency]] of your [[soul]] to point towards [[the Father]], you need not [[fear]] when these [[episodes]] of wavering slightly occur. Though at any instant of [[time]] your needle may be slightly to one side or the other of [[true]], it is an insignificant [[difference]], and you will return to [[center]] as your [[experience]] enlarges.

The [[work]] that you do in these [[groups]] and [[individually]], [[personally]], is a constant [[process]] of [[aligning]] your [[parts]] so that the [[whole]][http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_12#12:7._THE_PART_AND_THE_WHOLE] is in [[alignment]] and ever pointing in the direction of [[the Father]]. In this way you constantly [[magnetize]] yourself and ever become stronger in your [[ability]] to pick out the right direction. This [[act]] of [[alignment]] is the [[desire]] of your [[Thought Adjusters]] who are ever attempting to draw you toward their [[home]] which is your home. When you [[agree]] with their [[leadings]], your needles are straight and [[true]]. When you encounter [[difficulties]] and are off [[balance]], your indicators may waver. But rest [[assured]] that a sufficient [[degree]] of [[alignment]] has occurred within each of you to [[trust]] in your indicators as you [[trust]] in your [[mechanical]] [[compasses]].

On your world you are used to but one [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_field magnetic field] in which your instruments indicate but one direction. Outside the [[influence]] of your magnetic and [[gravitational]] fields, there are numerous [[forces]] to [[attract]], to draw [[universe]] [[personalities]] in various directions, but in the entire [[scheme]] of all [[reality]] there is one [[universal]] pull more [[encompassing]] than all the others and that is the abode and [[will]] and [[desire]] of [[the Father]]. Other [[universes]] and other worlds have their own fields which register [[differently]], and other [[personalities]] have their own interests which seek out their own drawing [[forces]], but all are under the umbrella of the master [[force]] of [[the Father]].

Jonathan: As you head north with [[compass]] in hand, what is it like to stand right over the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_pole pole]? Does the needle spin around? I see how [[Paradise]] is that [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North-pole north pole]. The far stretches of the [[universe]] are the south pole; I think of [[the Supreme]]. The [[Paradise]] [[gravity]] [[circuits]], the [[mind]] gravity circuits, the [[personality]] gravity circuits[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Foreword#VI._ENERGY_AND_PATTERN] could all be woven in, the drawing [[power]] of [[the Father]], the [[Infinite]] [[I AM]]. The [[omnipresence]] of [[God]] is like standing at the north pole.

Elyon: I [[appreciate]] your imagery and your return of the volley. It is indeed a many layered image to [[think]] of the many [[circuits]] involved even here on your own world, the most obvious [[being]] the [[magnetic]] pole of your [[compass]]. But you are correct that the [[omnipresence]] of [[the Father]] and the direction of your pursuit provide you with an image of all [[encompassment]]. These are fun to [[theorize]] and appropriate to [[visualize]] in that they provide you with some [[idea]] of [[forces]] which are intangible to your [[physical]] [[being]] and yet very real. It is your [[purpose]] to not only [[accept]] these [[forces]] as real but to then seek to [[manipulate]] and align your [[being]] so as to maximize [[effectiveness]] of these [[circuits]] on your being.

Elyon: Very well stated. I would only embellish slightly by referring back to our image of your [[individual]] indicators and how they are [[effected]] by your positive charge for [[the Father]] and also effected by the errant and [[negative]] charges of your [[material]] life. Those around you may be [[experiencing]] greater [[degrees]] of this errant energy causing their indicators to waver back and forth, unable to be still in their direction. When you [[act]] as a [[conduit]] for [[the Father]]'s [[magnetism]], you in your [[partnership]] have the [[effect]] of calming the needle, of stilling the indicator even if for a brief [[moment]]. The [[magnetism]] of [[the Father]] is so great that when shown to those around through your willingness, it has a drawing [[effect]] so [[powerful]] as to, even if only momentarily, calm this wavering indicator. They will not [[understand]] that this is what has happened; they will simply be [[attracted]] to it. If it is your [[intentional]] [[purpose]] to provide this pull, they will undoubtedly [[align]] themselves with it if only subconsciously. That is the great [[attractive]] [[force]] we speak of when we ask you to go out and [[touch]] your [[brothers and sisters]], not so much with your [[lessons]], with your [[words]], as much as with your [[conduit]] of [[magnetism]] for [[the Father]].

Jonathan: Considering [[Descending Sons|descending]] and [[ascending sons]], we know [[opposite]] poles [[attract]]. Those who come from [[Paradise]] are attracted to us. Our [[magnetism]] in [[ministry]] adds to the [[idea]] of [[teaching]] those just behind you and learning from those just ahead. In The [[Urantia Book]] they say the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_29#29:2._THE_SUPREME_POWER_CENTERS power centers] or [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_29#29:4._THE_MASTER_PHYSICAL_CONTROLLERS physical controllers] can divert the powerful [[Norlatiadek]] currents, even the [[ability]] of [[midwayers]] to make [[things]] [[visible]], all these instances of [[personality]] placement come to [[mind]].

Elyon: Thank you. That is what the [[game]] is all about, the [[sharing]]. If you can view a [[random]], scattered image before you, say a [[mass]] of [[humanity]], of people, each one with their own [[individual]] [[purpose]] and their own drive, then picture this same image, this same [[number]] of [[human beings]], all arranged [[together]], all pulling on one long rope. You now see that [[alignment]] and [[purpose]] has [[everything]] to do with the [[difference]] in these pictures. In one picture it is scattered; it is unproductive. In the next image it is [[focused]], [[concentrated]], and the [[power]] is enormous. In both pictures the same [[number]] of [[individuals]] is present, and yet it is not until [[alignment]] and [[focus]] occur that the great [[power]] then occurs.

Jonathan: In The [[Urantia Book]] it says that, while [[preparing]] for [[worship]] on [[Paradise]], sometimes the whole Isle is engulfed in [[spontaneous]] [[worship]].[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_27#27:7._CONDUCTORS_OF_WORSHIP (27:7.7)] It [[sounds]] like the [[alignment]] is so strong, why [[prepare]]?!

Elyon: This speaks to the [[ability]] to [[recognize]] and utilize these fields of [[alignment]] which exist as [[reality]] around you and above you. As you [[transcend]] your [[levels]] of [[reality]] you find it easier and easier to [[align]] yourselves because, not only have you honed your own [[individual]] [[alignment]], but the fields that [[surround]] you are more [[evident]] and are stronger still. Therefore your [[individual]] indicators are routinely locked in the same direction.

Evanson (Jonathan): I greet you also today; this is Evanson, and I would like to present an [[idea]] and that is a [[different]] [[perspective]] on [[temporal]] life and [[eternal]] life. We of [[human]] [[origin]] often tend to [[think]] of [[temporal]] life as that [[finite]] duration between [[birth]] and [[death]] and [[eternal]] life as the on-going living of the after [[death]] [[experience]]. In the [[morontia]] [[state]] it is taught that the most important element to any life is your [[connectedness]] to [[the Father]], that really [[temporal]] living is the intermittent [[connection]] between [[the Father]]'s [[presence]] within you and your breaking from that. Once you [[fuse]] you are [[eternally]] [[connected]] with [[the Father]], and like your [[lesson]] on [[magnetism]], if you see yourself as a bee-bee and you [[touch]] your [[Thought Adjuster]] and [[fuse]], you have [[connected]] with the [[magnet]] that at the other end is [[the Father]], Himself, but nonetheless, you are [[eternally]] [[connected]] to [[the Father]] though you have yet a long [[paradise]] [[journey]].[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Ascension_career] This everlasting [[connection]] is your goal until then you will wrestle with the temporary fluctuations. This is the [[temporal]] life where you are here and only now faced with the [[struggle]] to [[experience]] the [[presence]] of [[God]] continually. I [[assure]] you it will get easier. The [[eternal]] life is that accomplishment.
