===Topic: ''Culture of Cooperation''===

 

 

 

 

Elyon (Jonathan TR) Greetings to you, this is Elyon, happy to be with you today in company. Our association is cherished by myself. It is always a blessing to be part of your life. We can always learn from each other and in doing so apply each other's experience to our own lives and in so doing expand our ability to grow, to mature as a spirit being.  

Culture of Cooperation

 

Socialization and fraternity are nutrients of the spiritual life, and it does benefit the soul to have a variety of such nutrients for a balanced spiritual diet. In a competitive world such as the world you dwell upon great emphasis is placed upon ownership and originality, the possessiveness of things including that of what you call intellectual property.

Even your industry of celebrity is geared toward non-replication, that being, each star is valued for his or her unique abilities and personality. However, when you ascend into the realms of morontia, you will be refreshed by a culture of cooperation where emulation is seen as honoring another's abilities. It is not seen as copying; it is not viewed derogatorily. In a competitive world honor is given to one elevated, seen as apart and above; more highly capable, accomplished, authoritative, or sanctioned, even crowned.

While the circuits are ever present and always pulling upon you, your willing effort hastens the increased closeness that these circuits are, in effect, set up to accomplish. You know from pushing another on a swing that one push sets the swing in motion and that the individual on the swing can continue motion through rhythmic gestures, but that the swinging is assisted by your timely push. Out of synch you disrupt the flow. At the precise moment, well placed, the swing is enhanced. The circuits create the momentum such as the swing has; your worship enhances the circuits. You are a vital contribution. When you respond to your adoration of God by expressing your spiritual nature in your lives, you increase the drawing power of the spirit circuits. The intensity of the draw is enhanced. While associated with physical gravity by the word "gravity", it is not impersonal. It is a field of energy within which personality resides. It is very much connected to presence and being, unlike physical gravity which is connected to matter and energy. Every effort you make to transform your character along the lines of Michael's manifestation to you in his earth life will elevate God in your soul and reveal the relationship to others. You will derive true self respect, for you will coordinate clearly in your mind the real relationship between the Creator of all and yourself, one small creature among a vast universe of personalities. I have completed my list of points I wish to express today.

Elyon: It will be one of the first highly notable differences after you transition from this way of living on Urantia. While greater challenges await you in the morontia phase of existence, the ability to accomplish growth in the face of these challenges is heightened because of this cooperative atmosphere. A crowd moving in the same direction helps each one along. A crowd where every individual runs in various directions contrary to one another does not aid the progress of anyone. This is recognized and used to its fullness in the morontia realms. Each one is helped and all move together beneficially.

Ginny When we appear on the other side one of our greatest adjustments will be learning how to be cooperative and not competitive. For us to seek this daily will be a pleasure. For those who are totally competitive it will be a great adjustment.

* Elyon It will. A helpful factor in overcoming the tendency to compete will be the loss of the impulse towards self-preservation, for you will have experienced the death transition, and preservation will no longer be an issue. However, education will be required to shift the mind focus from self advancement at the expense of others to self advancement along with the upliftment and advancement of others. You have been told of your visits to each mansion world, even though you are evaluated as advanced in status to be domiciled on a particular mansion level, you are to become familiar with all seven levels. One of the benefits derived from such world visitations is a comprehensive perspective of belonging, of association in cooperation, of mutual interest in soul advancement. Coming from a world of rank and status at the expense of others' loss and degradation, you will realize that status and rank in the morontia realms is only a transition stage, a step to higher levels, and that all beings undertake such transformation. In the comprehension of Supremacy you will further realize the advancement of your fellow is upliftment of oneself. This is the meaning behind the phrase that Jesus spoke of when he said that he who will save his life must lose it. He who is to be first must make himself last.

Ginny Does any competition at all exist on the mansion worlds? Is there a healthy competition?

Ginny: Does any competition at all exist on the mansion worlds? Is there a healthy competition?

* Elyon Yes. I have emphasized competition at the expense of another here. In the realms I inhabit it is changed into teamwork, and the competition is the spirited encouragement of each individual by others to excel, to put yourself to the task to challenge your abilities. Just as a team roots for the pitcher or the quarterback to do his best for the benefit of the team, you are given that competitive push. What is missing is the negative detriment to any others.
