Welmek: I would like you now, if you are willing to take this idea of re-course into the [[stillness]] for a few moments, and ask your spirit to show you a deeper [[meaning]] of what this word means for you. And we will bring this word back into the lesson and I will ask you to share with me a thought or so, if you are so willing, of what you [[perceived]] in your [[stillness]] time. Please proceed. (Long pause.)

Welmek: Are there any comments or ideas that come to mind in this [[idea]] of recoursing your life?

Welmek: Are there any comments or [[ideas]] that come to mind in this [[idea]] of recoursing your life?

Student: Well, Welmek, the most obvious idea is the idea of forming our resolve to live in God's world and to be about [[our Father]]'s work, because this is what [[Jesus]] talked about being in the world but not of it, in the sense of our personal, or our being more of [[altruistic]] service rather than simply working for material gain. [[Trusting]] that our needs will be taken care of. Needs will be provided for at least this is the [[direction]] I've been going toward for some time now. It seems to be the message that has been coming through on lots of levels.

Welmek: And this is the [[unfolding]] of your [[true self]], and you will continue (Tape ends.)..a unique way of showing our Father's love in the world.

The [[idea]] of re-course that I wish to ask you now is to take this word-[[idea]]-concept and to ask for it to blend with your awareness of who you are as a [[child of God]], to fashion you into a stream where you can be of more service throughout the day. This is an expanded awareness of yourself; for as you know, when you [[align]] with the Father, He grows who you are, and He moves you into different streams of life so that you can [[express]] more of the beauty of yourself in different avenues, to broader ranges of individuals. And I ask you to take this idea now and to merge this into your awareness of what it is that you wish to do in life so that you have more opportunities to be of service. Do you understand what I am suggesting?

Student: Yes, I do. I feel constrained by obligations and sense of duty. And my physical work that I do in order to make ends meet, so to speak, and I get this, I don't know, I can't think of the right word, but just this cycle of - I work to pay bills, and then I keep working to pay - that kind of thing. And I'm just tired of that. And I want to re-course that. I want to move on to be who I am, to live, to uplift this, not only just myself, my little universe, but this whole planet.

Welmek: My brother, this is what I am suggesting to you now in this blended [[awareness]] of who you are, and how to re-course your life. You will find yourself being [[separated]] from the [[idea]] of your [[financial]] [[obligation]]. And I say this carefully: the more you separate yourself from the idea of being obligated, the more you will [[free]] yourself to be of [[service]], and the more opportunities for service will come your way. You will be [[supported]]. You will not fail to meet your financial obligations, but you must begin in your [[mind's eye]] to see the bigger picture, so you can naturally be separated from the idea of the [[obligation]]. And so you understand my [[meaning]], do you not? (Yes, I do. I understand very clearly.) Thank you.

I would add this note, as an [[observation]] of [[human nature]]. Strive for the [[ideal]] instead of [[focusing]] on what you need to let go of. For in striving for the [[ideal]], you naturally allow your [[mind]] to attach itself to this. And when you attach yourself to a new idea, the old idea becomes easier to let go. And so, [[growth]] becomes gentle and more [[simplified]], and this is the way we [[encourage]] you to always pursue your life, in this ease, in this [[flow]]. That is not to say that you will not be given [[challenging]] circumstances, but in always seeking the ideal, always will you be given the [[tools]] to meet your challenges and [[obstacles]] with [[hope]] and [[courage]] and [[strength]] and [[fortitude]] and [[perseverance]], and every other good thing you need to be victorious. Are there any other comments?

Student: I just have one question, Welmek. It is, in my experience that, and often times in my life, I have not felt that I have been given what I need, and that I've been led very close to the edge of the abyss, more than once, to the point where I felt that, that was something that I'm meant to use later on - that experience of nakedness and shame or terror or vulnerability, confusion, to force me to rely on myself, without any help. So I was wondering if you could comment on that, because I notice that I'm, I have a quality of, sort of, vigilance. It's starting to lessen now with church connection, but yeah, it's still there. So I was just wondering if you had any comment?

It is, in my [[experience]] that, and often times in my life, I have not felt that I have been given what I need, and that I've been led very close to the edge of the [[abyss]], more than once, to the point where I felt that, that was something that I'm meant to use later on - that [[experience]] of [[nakedness]] and [[shame]] or [[terror]] or [[vulnerability]], [[confusion]], to force me to rely on myself, without any help.

Welmek: My dear brother. I say this with the utmost gentleness and compassion for your condition, and of who you are as a brilliant child of God. The abyss is not a place of fear, it is a place of unknowing. And in the unknowing, when you allow yourself to be in that darkness, and calling out for your Father, you will be embraced; you will be upheld. But the human mind does not naturally lend itself to being in the abyss, especially when it feels dark and terrifying. The human mind resists with forceful will, and does everything it can within the psyche to create that feeling of, "No! I will not go there." But I say to you, that this place is the place to go, for this is the only place where your faith can really be activated, and catapult you to a higher of understanding, a higher vision of who you are and who God is, and how God loves you and supports you.

The shame, the degradation is illusory, but it is a real feeling in human experience, and therefore the mind fights it because, at the level of your soul, you know that this is truly not who you are. But there is this vast chasm between total surrender and abandonment in this unknowingness and the comfort seeking desire of the fundamental animal nature. And so I say to you, my friend, ask for courage. Ask for faith. Ask for hope, and take a deep breath, and jump, and see where that takes you. (Thank you.) Does this help? (Yes?)

I sense great trepidation and doubt in your mind. (Not really?) How can I further assist you in this?

Student: I guess the only thing I might add to it is that there have been, during these times I've prayed, repeatedly, before I even knew the church now. And so, I felt nothing, really! So it's interesting that there is this relationship, and yet one can feel quite cut off at times. It's confusing to me - that to get a response from God is not as simple as asking, sometimes; there's more to it.

Welmek: God responds to every sincere petition of the human heart. It is not always an experience that you will be consciously aware of, however. And there are those mis-connections of mind and body that you perceive, I should say that, are perceived that circumvent the conscious recognition of God's presence within you. It is at this time of being in the unknowingness, where your capacity to have your being re-encircuited is the greatest, for your mind and your body are no longer resisting, and it can be reintroduced with those spiritual endowments that are necessary for the conscious recognition of the presence and love of your Creator Father/Mother-God.

And as I said, the human mind does not relish being in that place of unknowingness very much. And so when you feel disconnected, what impetus do you have to staying there? But I say to you, my friend, that if you stay in the unknowingness, and accept it, and be comfortable in the unknowingness, you will have greater awareness growing within you. And it will open you, and connect you in the way that you desire, and will feed your soul with joy and love and gladden your heart for many days to come.

You do not have to do this alone though; Jesus is with you. In your mind's eye, take His hand and ask Him as a brother to lead you into that place of unknowingness and to sit with you while you are becoming more familiar with what that means. Does this help? (Yes.) Does this satisfy you? (Yes.)

Welmek: Re-coursing your lives means change, means transition, and sometimes upheaval. And this is why it is fundamentally vital for you to spend time in stillness and asking to see yourself from God's perspective, and in seeing a broader picture of the divine plan. This is your foundation, this is your anchor, and this is your safe home while you are in the midst of this tremendous change that will happen to you individually, and as part of being a member of society. I cannot emphasize how important it is to seek the stillness and to stay in this place for as long as you can each day, and even several times a day - taking those breaks of five to ten minutes and to be still and to re-anchor yourself.

You are undergoing dual energy forces, a deeper anchoring while you are in the very midst of change. And this paradox will be with you for many years to come. So I encourage you to practice this, over and over, this idea of being in the stillness. Spend time in being in the unknowingness, so that when change comes, you are not restless in your soul, but firmly anchored in the source of peace, love, safety, comfort and security that will keep you strong, no matter what life brings to you.

We will discuss this more in-depth in the coming weeks, for there is more I wish to share with you on this idea. But for now, I leave you with my love, and the love of all of the celestial friends who minister to you, who watch over you, and who cherish you as our younger brothers and sisters. We love you deeply. Good evening.
