Changes

When you become [[Fusion|fused]] with your [[Indwelling Spirit]] your horizons suddenly take an astronomical leap in breaking the limitations of your mortal [[nature]] as you absorb the [[knowledge]] which your [[Thought Adjuster]] can then share with you as one unified personality. At the same time that union enhances your Adjuster’s experience and in a [[microcosm]]ic way this is indicative of the growth of the Supreme. When the Supreme Being is fully manifest then we all shall know even as we are known. We shall share the [[content]]s of what has been termed the [[Collective Consciousness]], not in tiny fragments, but in full measure.

Such a [[destiny]] is beyond your understanding and difficult for those of us in morontial form to comprehend as well. The Almighty Supreme is the Evolving God of time and space, but another way of looking at this is: the [[First Source and Center]] manifests within [[finitude]], the real’s of time and space, for the First Source and Center is before time and space. And while He knows all [[things]], and in Him all things consist, He gains [[[[freedom]]]] from the limitations of [[eternity]] and [[infinity]] by experiencing finitude and [[evolution]]. The reality of this is so tremendous that it almost wearies the mind to try to comprehend it! We are part of God the Almighty Supreme, as He is evolving!

The [[Creator Son]]s are a major part of the evolution of the Supreme; but in a way we are [[microcosms]] of the Creator Sons, for we have within us the [[Spark of Divinity]], the Thought Controller, and we are creative. We [[co-create]] ourselves and in the [[process]] co-create with the Supreme. So as you go through your daily walk, as you do your thing, as you take the ups and downs of life in stride, expand your [[thinking]] so that you see your walk not just as a smart [[animal]] upon an orphaned [[planet]], but rather that you walk as part of the evolution of [[God the Supreme]], the [[Almighty Supreme]], in a universe ordered by [[love]], [[reason]], [[compassion]], [[mercy]] and ultimate [[adventure]]! Your life is not a tale told in the night; your life is part of the great adventure of Supremacy.

So let’s get up from our beds of easy. Let’s throw off the shackles of [[fear]]. Be done with the worries and anxieties which beset you. Rejoice that you’re partners with all others, who with God the Supreme, bring about the completion of the Almighty Supreme and the resultant Supreme Being.

Bob S: I need more information [laughter], but I think basically I just need to think about it. It’s such a difficult concept it is hard to get your hands around it.

Rayson (Bill): As you know, in the [[Urantia Book]] there are several papers which deal with this whole subject in much greater detail than my few words this evening. This part of the book has often daunted many readers and they instinctively avoid it for it is so [[complex]] and so difficult of understanding, but it is worth the effort to keep pursuing this [[information]] because it is your own reality. You see, all of God that you will understand as a finite being is embodied in the Supreme. Iit is not until you reach Paradise that you will come face to face with the [[Trinity]], but even then your understanding of the Trinity will be limited to your understanding of God the Supreme at that point. We are taught that in the [[next universe Age]], in the [[seventh stage of Spirit]], we will move beyond Supremacy. For now, however, it would be worth your efforts, all of you, to make a serious study of the papers in the Urantia Book which spell this out. As a visiting teacher I will not make an assignment, however I recommend this pursuit on your part.

Bob S: Thank you, Rayson. Let me ask you one more thing. Several times you have talked about the necessity for hard work. Earlier tonight we were talking about the fear of hard work as one of the roadblocks to our progress. Would you care to comment on how the fear of hard work effects our lives since you are suggesting that hard work is important? Would you have some words of wisdom for us in that regard?

Rayson (Bill): I will make an attempt. The fear of hard work is a generalized, all-embracing concept which should really be subdivided into several kinds of fears of hard work. First of all hard work is not natural. It is not part of your animal nature to enjoy hard work. You are, we were when we were mortals, constitutionality aversive to hard work, both physical hard work and mental hard work. Primitive men did not use their minds except when they were hungry and had to figure out a way to sustain their bodies, so you have that to start with.

It’s a natural inclination to be lazy. Secondly many people, especially in earlier times, experienced hard work as drudgery, as just doing the same difficult task over and over and over again. Sometimes you complain that housework is drudgery, [laughter] because its accomplishment immediately erodes as soon as you turn off the vacuum cleaner or put away the dust cloth. A third reason that there is people have an aversion is that they have not been introduced to meaningful work as children. many of their efforts were either belittled or not required by meaningful adults. They have been spoon-fed rather than learning to take the knife and cut the meat themselves. Therefor, when the idea of hard work is presented to them it is fearful because it has not been experienced and it takes the part of fear of [[the unknown]]. Will hard work kill me?, they think. On the other hand, children who experience hard work such as back-packing, carry on their own back all they need to survive for a week or more, come away from the [[experience]] with a new [[attitude]], because this has been meaningful work. This has been sustaining work, self-sustaining, and they have seen [[beautiful]] [[things]] for their efforts. There are undoubtedly other causes of the fear of hard work, but those three probably account for most of it. Do you agree with this, Bob, or do you have some other ideas?

Bob S: No, I think you are right on target. I hadn’t thought of mankind as being lazy. [Laughter.] Surely no one in this room is! It is those other people out there... but thank you for those words. They were most helpful, and I appreciate your efforts in that regard.

Daniel (Bill): I am Daniel, your friend, your teacher. Thank you for listening carefully to Rayson and to our brother Melchizedek, Minearsia. Have there been other concerns that have been postponed due to our infrequent meetings that you wish to address at this time or comments that you wish to make?

Virginia: Daniel, a question that I have concerns [[Judas, the apostle|Judas]]. I really don’t understand that when he wanted advice he always when to his non-spiritual friends! I just don’t understand that, having followed a spiritual leader!

Daniel (Bill): Judas was a puzzle as a mortal. You’re wondering about his propensity to seek bad advice. This was puzzling to many. Only Judas can really tell you the answer to your question, my dear. my sense is he had no real [[trust]] in the master or his companions. He was as individualist. He was very much attached to the [[materialist]]ic [[interpretation]] of the Kingdom of God, and as it became clearer and clearer that Jesus was not to fulfill that understanding of the messiah he became quite bitter. I personally think he felt closer in [[soul]] affinity to those unspiritual friends, but this is only my opinion. What do you think?
