Welmek: Good evening! This is you friend and teacher, Welmek. I bid greetings to our newest member, R. Welcome! I hope you find this evening's instruction valuable and helpful.

Welmek: Good evening! This is you friend and teacher, Welmek. I bid greetings to our newest member, R. Welcome! I [[hope]] you find this evening's instruction valuable and helpful.

Over the course of these last several months I have prepared lessons for you that were designed to help you test those inner resources of faith and to find a greater commitment within you to follow the leadings of your spirit; to follow the will of our Father.

Over the [[course]] of these last several months I have prepared lessons for you that were designed to help you test those inner resources of [[faith]] and to find a greater [[commitment]] within you to follow the leadings of [[Ta|your spirit]]; to follow the will of our Father.

Tonight I wish to present the first in a [[series]] of discussions entitled, "[[Inspired]] Living". We have [[discussed]] the many ways you stay [[connected]] and contact with your inner spirits. Your [[Thought Adjusters]] work patiently, co-operatively, and [[valiantly]] within you in helping you [[discern]] the divine will for your life; to feel the divine love that is your birthright and is your [[destiny]].

Your Thought Adjusters work patiently, co-operatively, and valiantly within you in helping you discern the divine will for your life; to feel the divine love that is your birthright and is your destiny.

The workings within your [[mind]] of these spiritual [[endowments]] change you, mold you into a higher model of artful living and [[sublime]] spiritual enhancement of those [[ideals]] and [[values]] that you have come to know and cherish in human life.

The workings within your mind of these spiritual endowments change you, mold you into a higher model of artful living and sublime spiritual enhancement of those ideals and values that you have come to know and cherish in human life.

[[Service]], [[patience]], [[understanding]], [[tolerance]], [[compassion]] are all qualities of a highly effective and highly attractive [[human being]]. And so I [[hope]] that you have felt within you that you have made [[progress]] in your spiritual [[attainment]] of these qualities; that you are [[becoming]] more lovely and more [[Godlike]] each day, each week, each month, and each year.

Service, patience, understanding, tolerance, compassion are all qualities of a highly effective and highly attractive human being. And so I hope that you have felt within you that you have made progress in your spiritual attainment of these qualities; that you are becoming more lovely and more Godlike each day, each week, each month, and each year.

So now in this evening's [[discussion]], I would like to present the idea of what is [[inspired]] living? You have been fed and nurtured by your [[Ta|spirit fragment of the Father]]. And that weaves and molds - conforming your sense of [[self]] - your [[personality]] [[expression]] into that which the Father has planned for you. And each of you here this evening has a certain level of [[commitment]] to following your divine [[path]]. And so I ask you now, what does inspired living mean to you? What [[inspires]] you? What makes life [[adventurous]] - enjoyable? Where does your spirit dare to lead you? What uplifts your idea of living life each day to the realm of that deeper [[commitment]] of contributing something of great [[value]] to your fellows and to your [[civilization]]?

I ask you to take this idea now into the [[stillness]], and to spend a few moments in asking your spirit to [[reveal]] to you what is inspired living. And then when you are ready, please feel free to [[share]] your answers with me. (Pause.)

Student: Welmek, [[inspired]] living can be for me when I [[transcended]] my [[prejudices]] and likes and dislikes, and can see clearly other people in their needs and [[desires]]. And when I'm then freed to act naturally and be of [[service]] freely, and without too much [[attachment]].

Welmek: Would you characterize your living now as [[inspired]]?

Welmek: Would you characterize your living now as inspired?

Student: Well, to an increasing degree I feel that I'm [[attuning]] myself to [[wisdom]] and awareness, but I realize I have a long way to go to live there unshakably and permanently.

Student: Well, to an increasing degree I feel that I'm attuning myself to wisdom and awareness, but I realize I have a long way to go to live there unshakably and permanently.

Welmek: But you are striving, and that is what is most important, is it not - your heartfelt [[desire]] to [[grow]] in this capacity. And what would you say now is your greatest [[motivator]] within you?

Welmek: But you are striving, and that is what is most important, is it not - your heartfelt desire to grow in this capacity. And what would you say now is your greatest motivator within you?

Student: Well, to be relieved of the [[suffering]] that accompanies an [[egotistical]] approach to life, where my [[desires]] are always clouding my [[vision]], and my likes and dislikes are always dictating my [[perspective]].

Student: Well, to be relieved of the suffering that accompanies an egotistical approach to life, where my desires are always clouding my vision, and my likes and dislikes are always dictating my perspective.

Welmek: So to recap, your response would be your [[motivation]] is a relief from [[suffering]]. Would that be a correct restatement? (Yes.) Thank you. I will address your comments when everyone has shared.

Student: For me the [[experience]] of inspired living is consciously and even [[automatically]] living according to the highest [[values]] I know. And to function according to the [[feedback]] I get when I behave in that way.

Welmek: And what would you say would be the way you learned of those higher [[values]]? How do you, in your [[experience]], come to realize them within you?

Student: Partly through [[trial and error]] in discovering what doesn't feel [[good]] within me, and have a positive effect on those around me. Partly through [[study]] with all of the resources that are more and more around, and are promoting a higher [[quality of life]].

Welmek: Thank you.

Welmek: Thank you.

Student: Welmek, as best I understand you, I would like to talk about - there are many things that are unfolding now; many desires that seem to be the Father's will. I believe the one that I would like to talk about now is, the one that seems to be of the greatest, most difficult and greatest benefit, is the one - the desire to write a manual of sorts on, parenting with God, as these things unfold in my family life - trying to bring, trying to learn how Michael raised His family - how Jesus of Nazareth raised His family; and take what I learned from Him and apply this to my own family.

And through this experience I would like to share this and write a manual of this nature, and somehow get it into schools as curriculum. A great project! A huge project! But this seems to be unfolding to me now, as I learn the Father's will, more and more. This is one of several, but it seems to be the greatest. So I would like to share that with you.

Welmek: I would classify your answer as something that you do in your unfoldment of your inspiration; but what is the inspiration indicative of in your life?

Welmek: I would classify your answer as something that you do in your [[unfoldment]] of your [[inspiration]]; but what is the inspiration indicative of in your life?

Student: The best I understand the question, it would be my desire to do the Father's will, my desire to add something to humanity that seems to be lacking. And most important, my desire to raise my family in such a way that they will be spiritually fragrant as they grow up, and be able to know the Father as I know Him.

Welmek: And what would you now say is your motivation to live an inspired life?

Welmek: And what would you now say is your [[motivation]] to live an [[inspired]] life?

Student: It's my love for my Paradise Father, and love for His Son, my Father Michael - my brother Jesus; and the unfolding love for the Mother Spirit. (Thank you.)

Student: It's my love for my [[Paradise Father]], and love for His Son, my Father [[Michael]] - my [[brother]] Jesus; and the unfolding love for the [[Mother Spirit]]. (Thank you.)

Student: Yes, Welmek, initially I had a difficult time trying to pinpoint inspiration - what inspires me, because in reality, nothing outside me, inspires me except my children, and to watch them grow and to see the seeds within them grow and flower and bear fruit. But what inspires me, what gets me out everyday to breathe and to work day-to-day, is my communion with the Father, and to express who I am in this world - the qualities of God that I am in this world. That's my inspiration; that's all I am. Nothing really matters to me except coming from a place of honor and integrity. And to see each person as the Father sees me, and lives through me. So that inspires me; that is the source of my inspiration. In a sense, I am this inspiration.

Welmek: And what would you say is the direction your life is taking now with this inspiration, as it unfolds?

Welmek: And what would you say is the [[direction]] your life is taking now with this inspiration, as it [[unfolds]]?

Student: That is like, that is where I feel like I'm at that crossroads where, I'm not really sure where it's going, where it's taking me, but I do know it's a good place - a place of perfection and love. And that's why I've been praying and meditating upon how I can best use my gifts and talents in this world. So, I'm still unsure about where I am going in this world, but I know that I dwell within the house of my Father.

Welmek: I am honored to be in the company of four such dedicated and earnest spiritual seekers of the truth and light. It is uplifting to me to see that which is within you, being born now, through those potentials that have been placed within you as a gift from our Father in the unfolding of His divine plan. Each of you has special qualities and talents that are configured uniquely that will find expression in your outward external life, and will bear a beautiful depiction of the love, the goodness and the truth of our Father. And you are all so embarked on this expression; and it will grow; it will harmonize with the best within you. And you will become increasingly more beautiful in time, and with your continued striving.

And you will become increasingly more [[beautiful]] in time, and with your continued striving.

It is time now to rise from the degradation and despondency of the human condition that has mired the spirit from becoming all that God knows and wants for you. Use the resources within you now to not only cast-off the fear of discomfort in the human condition, but look deeply within to see the love that our wonderful, compassionate Father-Creator has for you, and use that as a springboard for finding all of the beauty, and unlocking the potential that exists within you.

How beautiful do you want to become? How much talent and ability do you want to use? You are very wealthy my friends and you are infinitely blessed. There is no end to what has been given to you - what lies within now. Inspired living takes you deep into this well of limitless resources, and matches that which is the best and brightest, with your talents and your abilities and makes them greater. It makes them whole. It adds breath and depth to your soul and to your life.

[[Inspired]] living takes you deep into this well of limitless resources, and matches that which is the best and brightest, with your [[talents]] and your abilities and makes them greater. It makes them whole. It adds breadth and [[depth]] to [[your soul]] and to your life.

And you find yourself in many new circumstances to use these talents and abilities to give back people the love that you have received - to share with them the goodness and the beauty that you have within you, that reveals the loving and compassionate nature of our Father and our Mother, and of the universe; and gives them new hope for them to grow their faith, for them to step-out in trust to find a new life rich with happiness and peace, and most of all the knowledge that, they too are beloved children of an infinitely compassionate and understanding Divine Parent.

When you so live through this internal inspiration, you will never feel diminished, incapacitated. You will always feel blessed and richly blessed. For you know, that everything that the Father has is freely shared with you. And there is nothing that, if you ask in sincerity, and has true spiritual meaning, that it will not be given to you.

How do you wish to live? How do you wish you could share your gifts with your fellows? This is the time to step-out and try new experiences; to push yourself; to engage yourself in activities that conserve and uplift the divine plan on this planet.

I know that there are times when you do not always know what that means, or how it will manifest; and that is fine, that is as it should be. For you will never really know what is manifest until you try, until you experience something new, and see what the outcome is - see how you respond. And so I encourage you to not think so much about what it is you should be doing, as it is to being in the love of the Father, and to asking that each day you be guided to new levels of service, to new levels of helping another person or persons to grow spiritually. And to ask for opportunities to share what you have learned and how you have loved with others.

You gain confidence in your abilities. You gain truth in your faith. You gain strength in the hope for a bright future, rich with abundance and blessings. You have everything to gain in reaching into this well of love and inspiration you have within you, in allowing yourself to be led - by asking that your will be aligned with the Father's will for your life. For you are so deeply loved, and tenderly guided, that there is nothing to fear about growing in this way; in putting yourself now in a situation in your own mind that says, "I wish to rise to this challenge. I wish to be challenged today to live this inspired life."

We have talked about being your ship with your pilot guiding you. Hoist your sails now my friends! Take your rig on the high seas and see where your journey takes you!

Student: I have a question. And I'm very appreciative of the awareness that I've been hearing tonight. And I think I heard something about not worrying about what to do, and to emphasize being in the will of that infinite source. So my question is, is there a particular way to be even more effectively tuned into what to do - according to that will - practical things, daily living, and all of the other mundane responsibilities?

Welmek: I would suggest that you split your perspective of living into two camps: One camp is that which you do to maintain your material existence - basic needs of food, clothing and shelter. And the other camp being that which you do to maintain your spiritual connection. And in so doing, know that there are times when these activities may overlap, but for the instruction this evening I encourage you to think about this in two different realms.

In your spiritual life, I would encourage you to spend time in worshipful communion, in being in that centered and still place within you, where you feel loved, connected and guided; and to honor that place within you with reverence and devotion. And spending as much time as you can in letting yourself be nurtured in this way.

And spending as much time as you can in letting yourself be nurtured in this way.

In time you will sense within you when it is time to move ahead, and to do those things in your material life that more easily suit your personality and foster a greater spiritual expression in your life. This is the natural unfolding of your divine life plan, and it happens over a long period of time. But it is a natural unfolding when you allow the process, in and of itself, to lead you in a way that matches your inner leanings with your abilities and talents, so that you will never be put in a position where you feel that you cannot perform with confidence and with assurance that you are being guided. Does this help? (Yes, thank you.) Do you need any further clarification or elaboration on this idea?

Student: I know there is a lot of very practical things going on right now in my awareness. And there is some reviewing of options on how to proceed spiritually as well. I'm ready to simplify and act now. So I'm wondering, perhaps there may be something specific regarding such things as where to be located. What kind of work to do. Is any of that something you can address at this time?

Welmek: Much of what occurs in your material life such as where you live and how you live is your free-will choice and how attached you want to be to any particular place or lifestyle commitment.

I would suggest that you start in the spiritual realm, by asking your spirit, "What do I need now to grow spiritually. Guide me to that understanding which will foster the greatest growth in my life." And spend some time in worshipful communion in letting your spirit minister to you in this fashion. You may gain a greater sense of longing, or a desire within you in how you wish to express this in outward and material life. Your interests may become more refined, and your sensing of what it is that you wish to do become more clarified within you. Do you understand?

Student: Welmek, I'm feeling so honored to be in your presence this evening and to receive your teachings. I feel extremely inspired to become more than what I am - to the unfolding of God's will and His divine plan for me. I thank you for your time!

Welmek: My brother, I so cherish our times together. It fills me with such joy to see my Urantia brothers grow and strive. I cannot portray how this fills my heart. You are all so deeply loved. I wish you could feel all of the spiritual personalities who witness and cheer you on in your life.

This is, however, a pale comparison to the love that lies within you - carried deeply within those potentials of your body and mind and spirit, that feed your soul, that are expressions of your Creator's love for you. It is my wish for you, that each of you feel this more deeply and more constantly each day. For there is nothing so inspiring and so beautifying as living in this love, and being the most exquisite human creations that you can possibly imagine.

If you look at the life and the beauty..(of Jesus of Nazareth?) (Tape ends.) . (I daresay that I can envision?) yourselves as having this same potential too. I daresay it would motivate you within your soul even more to go within even deeper - to dive into that pool of unconditional love that is your heritage and your destiny. What more can I say. It is this love that is your fuel for your long eternal career. And so, why not drink deeply now, in this lifetime - to immerse yourself - to saturate yourself with as much as you can possible feel.

For each day you will find yourself retaining more and more and more. And this is why we encourage the stillness practice so consistently, because this is where you receive your nourishment. You receive that which your soul is languishing and thirsting for. This is all there is. You can feed your body with food and drink, but until you nourish your soul with the love of your Divine Creator, your life will not become that which you want it to be, and which you know inside, it can be.

So each day, my friends, spend time and allow yourselves to be filled to overflowing with the love that has no end; the love that is yours for the asking.

Student: Yes, Welmek, this is D. And as you were speaking earlier; and there's this small part of me that says, this is too good to be true; and especially amidst what is going on in this world. But I've been experiencing lately - As you probably know, I got baptized on Sunday along with R. And on Monday I was in meditation here, and I had a question about, how can I best use my talents and gifts and all the things that I have come to understand in this world - to be of service in this world?

And as I went deeper and deeper in meditation and stillness, I kind of came across the Father within me. And what He said to me was, I don't have to be anything, I don't have to do anything. Just allow. Just live and evolve. Just be here. And then yesterday, in meditation and in prayer at the sonship group, I again went deep into meditation and deep into my Father within, and He said to me, "Welcome home."

I can remember a couple of weeks ago I said, "I want to come home. I'm tired of this world. And then last night He said to me, "Welcome home. Welcome home, my son." And so it's like I feel this presence within me and I want to go out into the world and share what I have come to understand. But there's this little trepidation of being a stranger in a strange land. And not being up to the challenge of what I can do in this world. But I do desire to get through that, and to live the life - the inspired living, as you have mentioned.

Because I have said, there is no other way for me. And it's like - and I said just last night that there is a magnificent portrait of perfection that I wish to express and experience and share with other people. That each person in this room is created in the image of God; and it is a magnificent portrait of perfection and perfect love. That's what I want to share. That's what I want to give and express. But am I up to the challenge?

Welmek: And my friend, why wouldn't you be up to the challenge? You have come to a deep and profound understanding within you. To put your arm around someone and to look them in the eye, and to send the love that you feel within your heart into that other person is all you need to do. Words are not necessary. It is the feeling you wish to convey to them.

You see, sometimes in human lives you feel you must convince someone with the words you speak of the validity of what you have experienced, and there is a time for that. To be an effective minister of the Father's love only requires that you share what you feel. In this world people are languishing for lack of love, for lack of that human touch. For lack of someone to come to them and say, "I care about what you are experiencing. Tell me your troubles; I will listen to you. Come let me put my arm around you and comfort you. Let me hold you and let me love you." This is the challenge of sharing your love with others. Are you up to this?

Student: That sounds, for me, pretty easy to do that.

Welmek: I do not wish to comment on this at this time. I would encourage you to conduct this matter in a private session if you so desire. Are there any more comments or questions on this topic before we move on to general questions? (Pause.) Are there any other questions then, this evening?

Student: Welmek, I have a question that's been on my mind that's been concerning me a little bit lately. I'd like to just air it, if I may. I spoke with you about it, earlier today. Would it be OK to speak with you, with the group, now?

Welmek: If that is your wish? Yes!

Welmek: If that is your wish? Yes!

Welmek: There are no evil spirits lurking on the planet, [[conspiring]] to create [[confusion]] within the human mind. However, this does not mean that all evil has been expunged from the planet. Do you understand the [[distinction]] or do I need to [[clarify]] this for you?

Student: Would you clarify it just a little bit more, if you don't mind?

Welmek: As you read in your Urantia text, there are varying levels of violation of divine law and Father's will. Is this not so? (Yes.) And each of these varying levels creates an energy force, an energy flow, as it was, and minds can gravitate into this force-flow and follow the path of where that takes - into the realm of sin and iniquity - that which you have come to understand as the conscious and consistent violation of divine law. There are those on the planet who are iniquitous. There are those who are feeding this momentum of evil.

You do not need to have spirit personalities perverting human thinking in violation of the Father's will and the Father's ways. There is this existent energy circuit that is still on the planet that allows for evil to still exist. Is it being eradicated? Yes, but it is slow; and it will take time. And it will require the effort of spiritually led individuals like yourselves, through prayer - through collective, prayerful, intentional, mindal overcontrol - to help eliminate these deranged levels of thinking that are still existent on the planet. This is one of the reasons that group prayer is so important and can be so successful in beginning to erase that which no longer is welcomed here.

There is much celestial activity to diminish the effects of evil, but by-and-large it is through human choice and human striving that the evil will finally be completely eradicated from this planet. But I daresay my friends, you will not live to see the full effects of this completely erased nor the full effects of what your efforts are now currently producing. Do you understand?

Welmek: Upon completion of the [[mortal]] career, [[your soul]] and your [[personality]] will move on to enhanced levels of living. And you have a wonderful and [[glorious]] [[destiny]] ahead of you, if you so choose to [[participate]] in God's plan for you in the [[eternal career]]. And that which has been delineated in your [[Urantia text]] will [[comfort]] and [[inspire]] you, even to a greater [[understanding]] than you have already comprehended. And I encourage you to revisit this place and spend time allowing those words to fill [[your soul]].

You all have a rudimentary awareness of life on this planet at first; and then as you gain more experience in your new life, you will have those memory experiences - which made you into the person that you are becoming - activated within your mind. But there is no time frame, specifically, when this will happen. It is a matter of your own spiritual growth and reckoning that allows this to occur.

So my friend, you have everything to look forward to. Everything of value that you learn here you will take with you. Nothing is lost. And you only add more beauty and goodness and truth as you grow. Does this help?

Student: Yes. It helps very much. It addresses my perhaps greatest fear that I wouldn't take the little wisdom I've garnered here at some great expense in some cases. I'm glad that I will take that with me on an eternal career. It's very comforting. Thank you.

Welmek: You will only grow more in wisdom and understanding and judgement and ability to have all of these attributes harmonized and magnified within you. I assure you, you will be most pleased when you re-awaken in the new life and see what awaits you.
