Elyon (Jonathan): Elyon jumping in. The beauty[[]] of the [[Paradise Father]] is His [[perfection]], and that perfection implies that there is no [[error]] within His being aside from the ability to project the conditions in [[time and space]] wherein error may transpire. On a planet as yours and at the [[stage]] of [[soul development]] that each of you are on, there is often a tendency to associate [[error]] with a [[moral]] or proper function of being, [[behavior]], and such. Though it is important that such guidelines of [[goodness]] are applied to life, in [[reality]], throughout this condition of [[Supremacy]], error is simply the [[absence]] of [[Paradise]] [[pattern]]. Throughout the [[course]] of a planetary ascent to [[Light and Life]] or a [[Ascension Career|personality's ascent to Paradise]], Paradise pattern is increasingly established and recognized and acted through. It has been revealed that [[Havona]] is the first expression of Paradise pattern in perfection and that the [[Michael Sons]] are recreating these patterns here in our [[local universe]] and in the local universes around us. Each one of us, and us collectively as a planet, are doing likewise, discovering and recreating [[Paradise]] pattern. At times these experiences that contribute to this [[discovery]] and establishment are [[difficult]], disruptive, and do entail the human [[factors]] of [[fear]] as well as [[faith]]. It is the [[reaction]] to the effort that causes the definition of whether such endeavors are worthwhile. In the case of our current situation in Satania, we have seen where free will, in the expression of Lucifer, observed pattern, and actively fragmented it. The notion of the evil [[devil]] doing bad things is a misnomer, for [[Lucifer]] did not so much do bad as he disrupted Paradise pattern, thereby thwarting the [[honest]] efforts of many [[individuals]] to piece together the perfect pattern of Paradise at their state of [[evolution]]. So, all of us will encounter [[vicissitudes]] as we shuffle through the [[potentials]] to construct our current [[Supreme]] view of this perfect pattern of [[the Father]]. It is the [[wise]] [[soul]] that allows the occurrence of the apparent [[negative]] experience in order to discover the spiritual [[light]], the [[truth]], and the [[goodness]] that dwells therein. Even one's [[failure]] to [[discern]] and [[attain]] contributes to this discovery of the Father's [[purpose]]. This is the [[meaning]] of resisting not evil but returning good for evil, for it is in the nature of [[Supremacy]] that such occurrences of broken pattern will exist, and in the discovery of these broken patterns comes the [[discernment]] of how to place the [[fragments]] into order. It is unnecessary to go about breaking pattern, and this is the caution to all [[freewill]] creatures.

Onagar and the Perspective of Time

*[[Onagar]] and the Perspective of [[Time]]

===Opening===

===Opening===

TOMAS: There is a visitor this afternoon. This visitor has been an inspiration for many, and I will not dwell on his accomplishments, only to say that he is well-known throughout this System as one with tenure. I welcome to our configuration a representation of the person Onagar, a member of the Counsel of 24 and an icon of Old Man Time.

TOMAS: There is a [[visitor]] this afternoon. This visitor has been an [[inspiration]] for many, and I will not dwell on his accomplishments, only to say that he is well-known throughout [[Satania|this System]] as one with tenure. I welcome to our [[configuration]] a representation of the person [[Onagar]], a member of the [[Council of 24]] and an icon of [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhkmB5OzvQ0 Old Man Time].

ONAGAR: Greetings. Thank you, most [[gracious]] child. You perhaps see me as decrepit and more crooked that the branch of an old tree, but I am, you will excuse me, [[beautiful]]. Because of my many [[experiences]], not because of my [[physical]] appearance. The [[fact]] is what I regard now as beautiful is far [[different]] than that which was beautiful to me when in my [[youth]].

This [[perspective]] on age is largely wasted on you, even though your perspective is a viable [[appreciation]] of what time is in your sphere, your life in your [[society]] in this year of your world development. When I was here, yes, when I was here in the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_63#63:6._ONAGAR.E2.80.94THE_FIRST_TRUTH_TEACHER early dawn of Urantia], I was a brief point in time, as brief in [[perspective]] as a snowflake on a sunny day. It is the experience of [[time]] that allows for the perspective that can arrange for you a [[realization]] of how the [[organism]] of [[life]] is a bigger [[reality]] than the falling snowflake can [[perceive]].

This perspective on age is largely wasted on you, even though your perspective is a viable appreciation of what time is in your sphere, your life in your society in this year of your world development. When I was here, yes, when I was here in the early dawn of Urantia, I was a brief point in time, as brief in perspective as a snowflake on a sunny day. It is the experience of time that allows for the perspective that can arrange for you a realization of how the organism of life is a bigger reality than the falling snowflake can perceive.

What is a million years to me? I have only begun my eternal career. No, I have no resentment nor regret about my life. Those errors of experiential living are long since assimilated into the greater reality; the error is as if it had not been in the face of that which has become the reality of today in the unfoldment of perfection in the worlds of time and space. I have, as if I were a grandfather, had the opportunity to observe Urantia advance as I advanced, in time, through the psychic circles and spheres of light and life, as I met these values en route to Jerusem where I am ensconced today in company with my progeny.

I am, indeed, honored to be a part of the Council and to be what you might consider an elder statesman in my position. It has been a great source of satisfaction to see the errors of time being corrected and to witness the heroic feats of noble souls advance in cosmic consciousness. Therefore I feel very much like the Father must feel, with His children -- his Sons, his Sons' sons, his grandsons, and on and on– grandchildren down the line, all advancing into perfection.

How I am touched and amused by the perspective that you entertain when you wonder if I am not impatient to advance, having been around in this little corner of the galaxy for such a long time. You who are so brief in your existence! Is my Adjuster impatient? I have no sense that IT IS any more than I AM, for we are active being who WE ARE, doing what WE DO, according to divine will.

Thank you for pulling me out of the mothballs of history to implant me on your current page of recognition of Who's Who in the universe and where we might be when and as we encounter one another en route to Paradise. Carry on in your configuration and enjoy your meeting.

TOMAS: Tomas here to reiterate our guest's message that wisdom is a product of experience. His presence helps put into perspective the striving for an attainment of full authority of one's self, one's purpose. Perhaps you will remember to be more patient with yourself and your relative status as you ponder the experience of Onagar, he who prayed for protection against the  curse of the ice. He is an icon you can use even today, you who live in these climates where ice and snow are a major factor in your existence.

The conditions of your fuel availability and costs are evidentiary of the merits of Onagar's prayer nearly a million years ago. With the influx of the new age, the introducing of the frontier of the mind, having gathered around you the high tech tools to make it possible, and a new calendar millennia to effect a new buoyant attitude, and yes, indeed, even today a new President inaugurated into your midst to provide hopes that a curse of the ice and other reflections of mortality can be dealt with maturely and gregariously for all of earth's children.
