Changes

I have been striving to break you free from the muck which envelopes your feet, that you can lift them more freely, to go forward in the walk that you take with [[God within]]. That's why we dwelt and have gone into great detail in some of the [[errors]] which have been perpetuated on [[this planet]]. For those of you who were not brought up to [[believe]] that you were sinners, fortunate are you, indeed, for then your have less mud to kick off your feet. Do not feel bad that your feet are not as muddy [[[laughter]]], but be glad that you have been spared this [[legacy]] of [[error]].

===='''''[[Free will]]'''''====

I wish to talk tonight about the great gift of free will choice, which is yours because you are persons, and you are in the personality circuit +of the First Great Source and Center, the Universal Father. This free will gift is also an aspect of your self-worth. It is incontrovertible evidence of your status before the universe as persons, not merely things. Personality is a gift of the Father. All personality comes from the Father. It is the way in which man is made in the image of God. The image of God is personality, and essential to personality is the ability, within limits, to make free choices. The Father respects the grandeur of personality in each personal creature. He respects his own reflection so much that he allows each person to choose his or her own destiny. It is up to each one of us to decide whether we will choose to go in the direction that the God of the Universes desires for us, or choose to go in a different direction, in our own direction, whatever that may be. God loves us enough that he allows us the choice to reject him, if that is what we wish to do. God loves us enough that he allows us the freedom to make mistakes, but more than that, to continue to make mistakes even though we know they are the wrong way to go. If he did not do that we would be robots. We would have no choices, and this would indeed demean our status from person to thing.

I tell you this not because I am scolding or warning anyone here. I tell you this so that you will pause and be amazed at the great respect that the Father of Personalities grants to each of his personal sons and daughters. Michael, known as Jesus of Nazareth, in his humanity always chose, to the best of his knowledge, to do that which he understood God desired. He did that because he knew God as a perfectly loving, completely good personality, as the most fatherly of fathers, the most motherly of mothers, the most perfect parent. He knew from childhood that even as his own parents loved and cared for him, so his Heavenly Father loved him and all His children even more profoundly. His trust in God was replete. It never wavered. He never doubted that his Father would always care for him and do what was best. Even in the worst of his times, the hour of his trial and crucifixion, he never doubted that the over-care of God was absolute. Because of his perfect trust in God there never entered into his heart or mind the desire to do other than that which would please his father.

When you [[share]] you feel better. You feel a sense of the [[divinity]] of the [[Supreme]], the God of [[Time and Space]]. When you tell the [[truth]], that we are all God's children, and there is one [[family of God]], everyone feels better. Therefor, my friends, I say to you continue to walk, [[step]] by step, with the [[light]] of [[faith]] taking the [[dark]] crevices and [[shadows]] away from the [[obstacles]] which could cause you to stumble, and instead moving forward on your [[journey]] to [[Paradise]]. At this time I open the floor for comments or questions.

As I said earlier until now you have not known much about the [[morontial life]]. [[Paul, the Apostle|Paul]] was given some inklings, and other members of other [[religions]] have also in the past been given flashes of [[insight]]. Because [[the default]] and [[Lucifer Rebellion|rebellion]] have been completely [[adjudicated]] now it is time for [[this planet]] to be reconnected with the rest of [[the universe]] and begin to get a different [[perspective]]. It is a slow [[process]]. It cannot happen overnight. But even in your [[sciences]] there is an opening to the [[concept]] that there maybe many, many planets with life on them, not from a [[theological]] perspective, but from a purely random [[chance]] perspective. Even so, this changes the [[world view]] of people, so that they can begin to accept the real [[truth]] which is being portrayed now, initially through the [[Urantia Book]] as an up-grade of all world [[religions]], and now through the [[Correcting Time]] as well.

Daniel (Bill): Are there other comments or questions? . . . .

Daniel (Bill): Are there other comments or questions? . . . .

Daniel (Bill): We often have [[discussed]] [[Lucifer]]'s downfall in as much as it effects all of the universe of [[Nebadon]] even though some of us are not from the system of [[Satania]] where he was in residence; and there appears to be no outside causal connection to his original [[errors]]. That is to say, no other influence outside of himself can account for his [[thinking]].

Daniel (Bill); I was prefacing my remarks, Ken, by letting you know that many of us speculate on these things. Our consensus is that Lucifer rejected the personality of the First Source and Center, the very existence of the First Source and Center in fact. He also demeaned personality and implied that the universe was mechanistic and automatic. He accused his Creator Father, Michael, of duplicity, along with the other Creator Sons, of manufacturing the idea of an Omnipotent God in the center of everything in order that they could rule in the authority and name of this higher God. He accused the Creator Sons of creating a phony plan of ascension which was purposeless, and these ideas so distorted his mind that his personality began to disintegrate towards the end. He had in fact committed cosmic insanity, cosmic suicide. He chose to continue in those errant beliefs until there was not found in him any truth at all, and at that point his existence as a personality ceased, and he became as if he never was.

Ranking QUIET TIME First: WHAT IS SECOND in IMPORTANCE?

Ken: No, I am saying, did he [[reject]] the personality that God gave him or his own [[self-aggrandizement]]?

Bob S: Daniel, I have a question. It is a little different. Sometime ago you indicated that of all the things that the teacher corps has taught us, of all of those ideas, the concept of quiet time was the most important. Would you care to rank number two? {Laughter.]

Daniel (Bill): Yes, I will. Quiet time is worship and prayer. Number two is service [mumbles and a gasp] to other people, which includes service to self, for you cannot serve others if you don't love yourself, a fact that you yourself commented on earlier this evening. Would you explicate what your gasp means?

Bob S: It's clear I've got a long way to go. I would never have guessed that answer ever, probably. I see where you are coming from and I accept your wisdom.

Daniel (Bill): Sometime, not this evening, I will discourse, or one of the other teachers will discourse, on the concept of service. We may be able to give you some broadening perspectives as to what this may mean. But that is a good question. . . . .
