Changes

Parsonel: By assembling yourselves in a [[group]] and undertaking the [[collective]] conscious [[visualization]] you establish what may be likened to a lightning rod. Throughout a thunderstorm the [[energy]] is present. When the connection is made the [[lightning]] bolts, and it will do so wherever the conditions are right. By establishing this energy framework it is much like erecting a lightning rod to draw the [[energy]] toward you. You understand that on [[Paradise]], spirit [[being]] and [[energy]] are indistinguishable. Way out here on the [[frontiers]] of space both [[midwayers]] and human beings deal with a great gulf between dense [[matter]] and [[spirit]] being. So the [[mind]] becomes all important as a director. So, I [[perceive]] this is the reason for your question of how the energy may be directed; physical energy toward physical [[problems]] as in [[healing]], or should the energy be [[transmuted]] to be useful in a [[psychological]] arena when one is troubled in [[mind]] and [[soul]]? While it is difficult to [[discern]] how to do this and how effective you may be in transmuting and directing energy, I ask you to [[practice]] what we practice, and that is to always know that God is [[energy]] and God is [[spirit]], one and the same. This [[divine]] [[presence]] fully knowing as it is will act in response to your [[faith]] and appropriately apply energy as needed

I will use another example of one of your material objects, the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spark_plug spark plug]. Consider the central pole as the divine source of all [[energy]] and consider the grounded pole your willingness, [[intention]], [[desire]], and openness to [[receive]] the energy. You may not have the power to draw the spark, and you do not need the power, for the grounded pole merely needs to be ready and [[receptive]], and the divine central pole provides the power that jumps the space and makes the [[connection]]. So you may [[intellectually]] [[desire]] to place energy appropriately and to use an appropriate energy form, but take into account that all you need to really do is provide the [[receptivity]], and the divine energy will jump the gap and strike as needed.

Tom: The little metal object in the gap could be the [[disease]] or the person in need of [[healing]]. When the energy [[flows]] the disease is [[dissipated]]. Is that how it works?

Parsonel: I [[love]] how you are working with this example. We [[desire]] that healing be bestowed upon a fellow. Let us call that little metal object between the gap of the plug one's fellow. Yes, you could desire that this being move over to and [[connect]] with the divine [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrode electrode], but for the force to flow in [[reality]], this being needs [[connection]] with ground, and the energy then snaps into them. This stresses the importance of your [[function]] in closing the circuit. This underlines the [[value]] of telling another you are praying for them; you make the ground [[connection]] to them, and that groundedness allows for the displacement of the [[disease]] with the [[healing]] energy. God is all powerful and can jump the arc. Your task is to be grounded to [[receive]] the energy [[pulse]].

Tom: In a prior lesson on [[healing]] it stated the energy comes from Father, through [[Michael]], through the practitioner, and our job is to provide a visible means of [[connection]] to Michael so the [[faith]] is activated in the person to be healed. He is grounded through us, completing the circle himself, which is why it's important he is being prayed for.

What is the [[effect]] on people who don't know they are prayed for? Does it make the [[process]] more difficult or less effective?

Parsonel: The energy is not [[weakened]]. However, the ease by which it may be [[transferred]] is lessened. I return to the [[principle]] that on [[absolute]] levels spirit and energy are undifferentiable. Adding the spirit element to energy implies [[volition]]. This energy we speak of is not strictly, totally, [[mechanical]] in nature. Will, the will to be healed, is a [[vital]] element. While another may not [[receive]] [[assurances]] of praying by others for their well-being, their own potency of will can make that same connection and close that [[circuit]]. Since your [[mind]] levels rest so closely upon your [[material]] stature, it greatly benefits you to [[receive]] word that others are praying for you. It bolsters your willpower. You might say it [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionization ionizes] the air in the gap to receive ease for the [[reception]] of [[energy]]. The higher you [[ascend]] the more your mind levels associate with your [[spirit]] reality [[presence]], the more likely you are to directly [[receive]] and not require mutual [[support]] and [[assurance]].

As one who is familiar with the [[Urantia Papers]], I remind you that you [[ascend]] in [[faith]]. As you ascend [[eventually]] your faith falls away and you stand solely in [[truth]]. While you live upon [[Urantia]] faith compensates for the lack of [[comprehension]] of total truth. As you grow truth [[accumulates]]; faith lessens. Therefore it is important here to [[assure]] one another of mutual support, to rally together in [[hope]], not necessarily at your house!

[Tom lives in Hope, Idaho.] Kirk: The important thing is to become part of a [[group]] that grounds. It may never be proved to me that the [[energy]] is doing anything, but the important thing is being part of a group creating the energy to [[heal]]. I may never see the result, because it is [[spirit]] and [[energy]]. I don't have that kind of [[vision]], being [[mortal]].

Parsonel: I understand your [[expression]]. Let us return to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_rod lightning rod]. When the lightning bolts you see it; you see it strike the rod. But once it's grounded, where does that energy go? This I [[trust]] illustrates your comment

Kirk: I have to have [[faith]] God is taking [[care]] of where it's going. I don't need [[proof]] that it's all working correctly.
