===='''''[[Forgiveness]]''''', '''''[[Love]]'''''====

===='''''[[Forgiveness]]''''', '''''[[Love]]'''''====

1. [[Listen]], you will [[understand]]. [[Forgiveness]] is [[fluid]], like [[love]]. You will see great empty spaces, like the blank page to the [[author]]. You will be the one to carve your forgiveness out of granite, as smooth as glass, so smooth you have difficulty seeing the fault lines through which all [[change]] is [[manifested]]. Your [[fear]] of [[understanding]] is different only in kind from your fear of truth. You have [[discovered]] the similarities, but not identified with them. Truth is [[friendly]]. So is [[understanding]], because these twins, not identical, are nevertheless from the same [[seed]], love. When the truth hurts, there must always follow a period of relief to this bending oneself to love. Do not despair.

So is [[understanding]], because these twins, not identical, are nevertheless from the same [[seed]], love. When the truth hurts, there must always follow a period of relief to this bending oneself to love. Do not despair.

When [[the call]] comes, you answer it. Each time you open yourself to [[listening]], hearing our [[guidance]], you are learning. You can only see one [[step]] at a time, here, in the here and now. We are with you and on the other side of the [[mountain]] as well. As you learn from one another, you increase your [[ability]] to be here and there. As we do. This is the importance of [[connection]], [[listening]], communicating in an exchange of [[effort]] to hear and be guided. Whether the thread you are following is thin, and you cling to it with [[faith]] and trepidation, [[loyally]], but shivering in the dark, [[Love]] will prevail. You will reach the [[summit]] and see beyond the narrow confines of your [[self]] and the small [[spotlight]] of your earthly life. Let us show you how to spread that light, how to see into the [[darkness]], which for all your [[fear]] is still [[fascinating]]. Shadows go slowly, you must be willing for them to [[change]] shape until suddenly they become your safe [[escape]] into [[light]] and the joys of unconditional love. Be not [[intimidated]]. Look with eyes unafraid to be open. Listen with ears [[patient]] for the truth. In between your [[conflicts]] and [[struggles]] to love one another as we love you, like the interstices of a strong [[foundation]] built to withstand the natural settling and shifting of the earth's faults, be content in who you are, [[human being]]s, limited in scope but gifted with the the [[capacity]] to [[love]], and be loved. You are loved beyond your wildest [[hopes]] and [[dreams]]. Your power to love is limited only by your ability to know this is true, I am with you, [[the Father]] and all the [[heavenly hosts]] are with you, the [[Mother Spirit]] [[embraces]] you. The [[miracle]] of [[love]] on earth is founded in these [[beliefs]]. And re-created by each one of you, as [[fathers]], [[mothers]], [[Siblings|sisters and brothers]]. But the greatest of these is to know that you are one, one among many, one in all, each of you is precious in [[the Father]]'s eyes, and the Mother is no less. That is all for now.

3. [[Pain]]. You [[weep]] because you [[fear]] you will not be loved. This fear of the [[future]] is because you do not [[believe]] that you are loved, or loveable. Whatever you believe love to be, begin to give that to yourself now. You are loved. By me who is always at your side. By [[the Father]] and [[the Mother]], equal and equally.

Your concern for others is concern for your [[self]]. Not [[selfish]], but a concern born out of your [[feeling]]. To assuage [[pain]] is our task. Allow yourself to be [[guided]] and let us guide those you love. Each person is loved. Your love will spread as you take in the love we have for you. We would take all your [[tears]] and spread them to the [[winds]] to nourish the trees, while you, a favored and favorite tree grow. The [[light]], our [[love]], comes to all in time. There are so many [[plants]] to water. Let your tears of love join the [[living water]]s of our [[compassion]] for you. Live in [[peace]] with your brothers and sisters, but do not fear to tread the [[path]] you are given and guided to follow. Have [[faith]] that even in the [[darkest]] of the forest realms, you will be seen and heard and given sustenance. [[Listen]]. We will speak to you along the way.

===='''''[[Emotion]]'''''====

===='''''[[Emotion]]'''''====

Your [[emotions]]. Treat them like flowers and blossoms, [[fragile]] when plucked too soon. Treat them like mulch, the forest bed that nourishes when left alone. Treat them like [[messages]] pointing the way, openings to new [[paths]]. But do not think your emotions, even the most [[glorious]], are All that Is. They give you [[joy]]. They give you [[sorrow]]. They allow you to live fully in your realm. Yet the [[mind]] knows even in the most powerful hurricane of emotion, if you let it be still, there is more. [[Listen]]. [[Your Father]] is here. Pray, dear Father I know not what to do, but I know your way is [[good]]. That the love you have for me is given to all. [[Amen]]. That is all for now.

I have said before, proceed with [[caution]], but proceed with [[trust]]. [[Patience]], my child. Take your "[[waking]] slow" as a [[blessing]]. Too rapid an [[understanding]] can release unfounded [[fears]]. Even your gentle [[ascent]] can seem like a rocket piercing [[the universe]] faster than your mind can [[consent]]. We are aware of this. The major leaps of [[mankind]] toward God have been the outcome of a snail¹s pace [[understanding]]. It is that once understood all things appear new. [[Newness]] appears to be sudden, like the [[birth]] of a [[baby]], suddenly a new person is there right before your eyes. You had something to do with this, and yet you did not. You were the vehicle, the incubator, but the new [[personality]], the new [[understanding]], is fresh, alive with the uniqueness of God¹s [[idea]] [[manifested]] on earth. [[Revelation]] is like that. Sudden and even unexpected, yet once known always known to have been there waiting, nine months waiting, to be born. That is the [[meaning]] of your phrase "[[born again]]." Revelation moving through all God-loving and God-intending beings. [[Intending]] toward God is to do God¹s will. Goodwill on earth demands that each [[heart]] [[dedicate]] itself. Do not concern yourself with another¹s goodwill. Attend to your own. [[Share]] it and goodwill will [[become]] yours, given and received in full measure. Take these [[words]], my sister, and have [[joy]] in your heart. For your intention is goodwill and this will be known, this is known.

All [[doubt]] is the [[process]] of [[learning]] to have [[faith]] in God. Be with your brothers and sisters in [[peace]]. We will come again. And again you will [[experience]] the [[discipline]] of [[love]], to [[listen]] and to understand that love must be [[shared]]. We are [[satisfied]], have no [[fear]].

Finally, [[forgiveness]] is more important than [[understanding]] as a [[value]]. Understanding becomes augmented by the [[act]] of forgiveness, eternal [[value]] acquired by the mortal [[act]] of [[time]].

7. The [[reluctance]] to let go of something you have [[enjoyed]] is counterbalanced by our joy in [[leading]] you on; it is like pulling in the big fish. You will know our joy, and more, once you have landed on the shores of [[Salvington]], the [[morontia]] world. Something dies for every [[trophy]], but [[death]] is not unwelcome. Death, your death, is a [[celebration]] among those of us who have followed every [[step]] of your life. You have come [[home]] to a [[mansion world]] of [[love]]. Those left behind [[practice]] overcoming [[grief]] and entering into [[the kingdom]] of [[faith]] on earth. [[The Father]] in heaven resides in their [[hearts]] to give them [[comfort]]. Alive, you give everyone reason to love, to [[share]] the experience of [[communion]] with you, if that is your [[choice]]. In [[death]] you provide the [[opportunity]] for the [[discipline]] of love, which is faith, as you [[ascend]] into a world of so much [[light]] that you no longer doubt.

[[Practice]] is what you need now. You are not [[alone]]. We are with you. If others retreat for awhile it is to nurture themselves, to resuscitate their [[mind]] and [[heart]], bringing themselves back up to snuff as you say. Be tenderhearted toward your absent ones. They do not intend you harm. It is your [[mandate]] not to allow harm to turn you against the ways of [[love]]. Unbearable [[grief]] is the recognition that some things are only known to God and your [[Thought Adjuster]]. Even your need to be [[understood]] can only be brought to them. That is why we say that you are not given that which you can not bear, because God is always with you to hear your [[cry]] and we are always ready to show you the way out of the [[darkness]]. The feeling of unbearable grief is just that, a [[feeling]] meant to push you, [[lead]] you, drive you toward the proper exit, the bridge across your troubles into a [[communion]] of [[light]]; be that light unto others.

Do not fear. Do not [[fear]]. We can not tell you enough about how fear is the [[distortion]] of [[truth]]. Your [[reality]] is one of love, but you see only the [[turbulence]] of natural forces working through the thickness of [[time]]; like dark [[soil]] so rich in nutrients, yet without moisture and [[light]] so useless. Let me say this again. You bend yourself to the wheel, daily making life's needs a matter of utmost importance. This is [[necessary]] and true to the task of [[survival]]. But making time for the [[light]] and the living waters to nurture [[the soul]] of your life is what makes the [[grief]] of living bearable. We love you. Our love can only be known if you choose to turn your hearts and minds toward the light that resides within. When you can [[spark another]], or another can [[listen]] to you with our same [[attention]], then you feel relieved, your grief is lifted somewhat, but always for the [[joy]] to be total, you must turn to me, your inner guide, your [[Ta|fragment of God within]], your complete source of [[comfort]].

There are indeed many [[comforts]] to be found on [[earth]], but you will notice that these comforts are short and must be endlessly replaced. Thus you have the word [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumerism consumerism]. An ism that must be continued to exist. Our comfort is everlasting. This is puzzling to those who do not know it and so they create [[rituals]] and demand your [[obedience]]. We demand nothing, only give unto you the light that [[heals]], life everlasting. If your friend (an [[atheist]]) believes there is only now, and nothing more, do not [[fear]]. The essential [[truth]] will be [[revealed]] and all you need to notice is the state of his [[heart]], the [[expression]] of his [[love]]. If that is overflowing with the [[goodness]] that you know is ours, then what is there to be concerned about? [[Belief]] is only a [[barrier]] when it does not lead to love. When love is present, beliefs can be like [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Eggs_and_Ham Green Eggs and Ham], (Dr. Seuss book.) the enjoyment of [[children]], the fancy of adult creation. [[Love]] is what matters. Be at peace with your friend, your brothers and sisters. Preach only [[love]].

Pass through the lace curtain of love each time you greet another being on [[your planet]]. We ask no more than that you give [[love]] where love is missing. Alana.

Take time to listen for yourselves, for the [[group]], for each individual to search into their own [[heart]] and [[mind]] within the [[stillness]] provided by the group stillness. Yes, it is good to commit to the [[goal]]: to love and growing into love via the regular [[practice]] of stillness. We will be there with you every time. It does not matter if [[words]] are heard or spoken, what matters is the [[intention]] to listen for the word of God’s [[love]] to pass through you toward others.

The stillness practice will enhance your [[memory]], for each time you practice you increase your [[understanding]] of how to live peacefully with your brothers and sisters and you bring this knowledge of the stillness into your world. It is your only refuge.

===='''''[[Discipline]]'''''====

===='''''[[Discipline]]'''''====

The [[discipline]] of [[love]] involves [[focus]]. Any discipline involves focus, [[intense]] focus. Yes it is like putting the needles on the right groove, threading the needle, following the tracks of a squirrel, managing to put the electric pencil, the wand held between your teeth, in the right place. You cannot avoid [[discipline]] if you want to accomplish something, for your [[self]], or for others. It is this hard [[focus]], this single minded [[effort]], that takes you through the squeeze box of accomplishment. You are driven on by love, love for the sport, love for the [[goal]], love for what you believe will be the results of this effort. That is why [[strange]] bedfellows can be found in the House of Love. Yes, a bit like the Fun House at your [[carnival]]; you may see most [[distorted]] faces and bodies there. Some because they are distorted by [[disease]] and have overcome their [[limitations]] by [[discipline]]. Some because their faces are distorted by making wrong [[choices]], yet holding to them fast like the boat cuts the edge of the hurricane. Your worst [[fanatic]] [[experiences]] a love for the chase. Your [[torturer]] has gone through the eye of the hurricane and, gently presses to extract the last piece of [[information]], the love for that extraction, that informative result is real. It often does not matter to them if the information is correct, their love has transferred to getting it.
