Changes

[[The universe]]s are, in a sense, powered by [[motion]], and spiritual energy is also at its highest [[potential]] when it is moving. If you can see yourself as a ball of [[energy]] rather than a physical thing with limits you might realize [[momentum]] is important and the direction you’re flowing generally has a higher degree of importance to the overall growth and [[development]] than the fluctuations that arise when dealing with disturbances in your patterns. For in [[eternity]] you will be as energy moving, almost like a pocket of [[intent]], and this intention flows toward the [[First Source]] and from the First Source in a circular pattern.

At this time in your development you are limited in some [[manner]] by the present stage that you find yourself, but the [[vision]] of these [[limitations]] is increasingly dissipating as you [[progress]] from your mortal life, to your [[morontia life]], to your spiritual life, to your [[eternal]] life where the limitations and your boundaries are no longer so recognizable, where you are seen more by the [[quality]] that you contain rather than any [[quantification]].

I believe, this evening, by sharing with you this idea that you are energy and that this energy will become increasingly more vibrant as you grow and as you move toward the First Source, it can strengthen you at a core level to recognize that you are contained in that circuit of divinity that flows through you to the First Source and back. By holding this vision of your eternal potential may you look at those disturbances in your life in a manner where you can realize that these urges, or instincts, can be smoothed over by turning your intention back to the circuit of divinity.

As you try to consciously realize this power and this flow, you may be able to begin by thwarting the instincts that would cause you to react in ways that you feel are not your highest. As this conscious behavior becomes more predominant in your being you will find, increasingly, that it simply becomes your pattern of behavior and no longer requires so much conscious attention.

So my call this evening is for you to see yourselves as part of this circuit, see yourselves as capable of maintaining the flow even when irregularities may rise up, and bring yourself forward by your conscious intention to move toward the First Source by maintaining the presence of Michael and his Spirit of Truth in the mindal currents of your Mother Spirit, which in actuality is what you are doing by consciously choosing to address these patterns in your life.

At this time I will step back and allow for another to speak. Your questions and comments are also welcome this evening as we move forward. Thank you.

Minearisa (Nancy): Greetings, I am Minearisa, picking up the passed baton and continuing with the concept of changing behavior patterns so that the new way of behaving becomes the norm. I wish to return to the concept of "acting as if" which you discussed several weeks ago. For readers who may read this lesson and for those of you who did not participate in that session, let me remind you what it means to "act as if."

Once the awareness of a particular [[negative]] behavior [[pattern]] or a behavior pattern you notice no longer [[assists]] you becomes apparent to your mind, you may wish to [[change]] that behavior pattern. However, as with any activity that is new there is an unfamiliarity and a not knowing how to proceed in the new [[manner]].

Once the awareness of a particular negative behavior pattern or a behavior pattern you notice no longer assists you becomes apparent to your mind, you may wish to change that behavior pattern. However, as with any activity that is new there is an unfamiliarity and a not knowing how to proceed in the new manner.

"Acting as if" was offered in a general [[discussion]] as a way of overcoming the [[newness]]. In one’s mind they saw the pro, the one who had [[experience]] in this new way of behaving, and they became the actor and acted this new role. This is what "acting as if" is about. It is seeing the way you would like to behave and then [[trusting]] that you have the "know how" and the [[ability]] to make it so.

It is seeing the way you would like to behave and then trusting that you have the "know how" and the ability to make it so.

During that session we made the [[distinction]] between the [[ego]], which might "act as if" not for the [[purpose]] of [[growth]], not for spiritual expansion, but rather from a very limited [[desire]] to have [[control]] of the situation, and we suggested that "acting as if" is successful when one allows the [[vision]], the expertise, and the know how to come from that spiritual [[connectivity]] to Father.

And so my assignment to each of you this week is to think about something that is causing you the greatest personal [[emotional]] distress. Then consider how you might be in your [[essence]], how you might behave in your outer activity to experience [[joy]] and [[peace]]. Once you have this vision, "make it so," to quote the mythical [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_Picard Captain Picard]. Act as if. Put it into operation. Allow the [[awareness]] of that aspect of yourself that is most uncomfortable to you at this time to be found with the assistance of [[Deity]]; allow the vision of your potential that could overcome this discomfort to be found with the assistance of Deity; and with the! assistance of Deity, put that new way of behaving into operation.

Daniel and I are now open for discussion, comments and questions.

Daniel: Indeed, much the same, we see you as [[energy]], and yet those of us who have lived the [[mortal]] existence do also have the ability to see you as you are in your current state. It depends on the [[method]] that we’re using to [[observe]] you at any given time. Does this answer your [[question]]?

Birdy: Hello, I have a question. Two weeks ago, when I was here, I had someone in my head saying this is Minerva. Do you know who this is?

Birdy: Hello, I have a question. Two weeks ago, when I was here, I had someone in my head saying this is Minerva. Do you know who this is?

Minerva (Nancy): I am Minerva, your personal teacher, pleased to make your acquaintance in this manner. I have spent many years as your friend and companion and the voice whispering direction in your ear. We share many common thoughts. I have had the intense pleasure of nurturing you for many years, my dear friend. I look forward to much greater contact. I am thrilled you heard my name, you have no idea.

Lori: Well, I’d like to say thank you for this renewed direction and I will try hard this week to remember the energy and the "as if."

Lori: Well, I’d like to say thank you for this [[renewed]] [[direction]] and I will try hard this week to remember the [[energy]] and the "as if."

Daniel (Nancy): Lori, you do well. We look forward to participating in these exercises with you. I am Daniel.

Aaron (Simeon): This is Aaron. I take this moment of silence this evening to step in and say hi. I also would like to encourage you to utilize those resources throughout your week, keeping in mind, as always the importance of stillness. We teachers are present and available. Even those who do not always consciously perceive our presence can still receive guidance by utilizing this process of stillness consistently.

So as you work through the issues that arise, keep in mind the importance of trying to maintain a still focus, which means a balanced, centered, and connected relationship with God. I look forward to your efforts this week, Lori and others of you who choose to utilize these tools. Thank you.

Daniel: Let us stand. My dear Virginia, are you up to the task this evening, or do you prefer to pass?

Daniel: Let us stand. My dear Virginia, are you up to the task this evening, or do you prefer to pass?

Klarixiska (Virginia): This is Klarixiska. Father who brings justice to the universe, Christ Michael who brings mercy to your universe, and Mother who brings us each the mind that desires You, we thank You that all resources have been given for our development. Help each of us and our students to call on these resources and yes, to use the tools that will keep one foot in front of the other down our path to You. We would ask this week, as these students try to use those things you give to them, may there be confidence, may there be unconditional love, and may there be awareness of Your presence in their lives. Amen.
