Changes

In the course of [[Paper 53 - The Lucifer Rebellion|his rebellion]], he took many with him. I stood by watching these events unfold. I was tried as you though not from my mortal sphere, no, I was tried in the course of my own [[ascension]], my morontia career. I contemplated Lucifer's proposition, and I found it weak, I found it dependent upon assertion of his own claim, a claim that I observed required all of his skill, and great it was. Yes, you find persons in your world today lacking confidence but appearing to have it all the same, who would argue against what they know will be. This defiance, this refusal I saw as desperation. Yes, I too made a [[choice]], but a choice it was, and in my case it was a choice to affirm that greater depth which I could not see, but I knew in my [[heart]] to be most true. And yes, so were many, many more who chose likewise with me and my fellows in the course of this issue, this issue of contention, this rending of so many hearts, and Michael, as you know, gave great allowance to these for there is greater wisdom of allowing the course of choice to proceed.

The case of [http://mercy.urantia.org/cgi-bin/webglimpse/mfs/usr/local/www/data/papers?link=http://mercy.urantia.org/papers/paper53.html&file=/usr/local/www/data/papers/paper53.html&line=158#mfs Gabriel vs. Lucifer] as you know was brought immediately, was petitioned upon the outbreak of rebellion. The wisdom and the love of our Father embedded in his system of his administration upheld the allowance for these rebels to have their course, to have a period to consider the realities, the consequences. Michael of course, proceeded with his bestowal upon your world, and for practical purposes, technically speaking he met these archrebels on their own terms and as a [[human]] even turning away his seraphic guard reliant only upon [[Thought Adjuster|our Father]] who within the mortal dwells deeply, speaking quietly, inviting you steadily into the progress, the purpose of his love. Shortly after, you know the story of Michael's life, upon its completion, his triumphant resurrection, upon the roll call of destiny, upon the acceptance of Supreme Sovereignty, upon the elevation of Nebadonia as Co-Sovereign, the case then proceeded.

These rebels were taken from their detention to face the [[judgement]] of the [[Ancients of Days]] which, as I have said before, is a [[revelation]] not to be feared but to love, to look forward to, for in this [[moment]] you see in perfection the projections of your choice affirmed over and over, concluded by your own commitment, and yes, many of these rebels were committed to their choice, many embraced the projection of extinction. Many more had begun to reconsider even before then, many, many more had begun to rethink the gift of life, a life which has its conditions, its time and place in this universe, in the larger context of eternity. In time, this life unfolding moment by moment guided by a wisdom and love which these saw [[transcend]]ing the assertions of Lucifer, and so, yes, in their choice there was sorrow for having been misled, having considered and acted upon their opinion at the [[moment]] that this was worth forfeiting, this was worth refusing because of what Lucifer perceived to be its [[arbitrary]] enforcement. These saw not the arbitrariness of a capricious ruler but the gentle hand of our Father's love, and it was their love, it was their affection which guided them through their renewal.

My friends, I will take up other questions which you have already expressed at another session. I would give this one a rest for a moment, this one who is learning to allow himself to serve as a link, as a way of passage without barriers, without the gate of exclusion. Be patient with him, be patient with yourselves, understand this [[process]] is sometimes slow. It proceeds upon your [[faith]], and it is built by those sincere and loving connections of your heart reaching out to one another, extending our love. It is given freely. We ask you to do likewise.
