Changes

Our [[Mother Spirit]] gives you your [[minds]] - her mind ministry provides you with the [[medium]] by which you construct thought, by which you [[think]]. Your evolutionary physical brains give you the [[animal]] [[mechanism]] that receives that mind ministry consisting of the adjutant mind spirits. How a [[physical]] [[brain]] is formed affects your capability to receive that ministry. Genetic differences affect this capability. In the more extreme differences, an insect brain is incapable of receiving the same amount and quality of ministry as a horse. Likewise, with you as will creatures, different ones of you think differently in part because your physical [[mechanism]] varies. Add to this the extreme influences of your cultural heritage - global, racial, national, societal, institutional, familial and yet other environment of [[culture]], and you will see that even independent of personal [[free will]] choice, your [[thinking]] and your conceptualizing will vary greatly.

So now you come together, most of you having a central [[concept]]ual core called the [[Urantia Book]]. And yet you find that even with this basis, [[interpretation]] has varied. People don't understand the same [[words]] and concepts in the same [[manner]], to the same degree, with the same [[enthusiasm]] or [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Relationships,_Depth_%26_Breadth-2003-02-16 depth or breadth]. While most of this is normal and can be found on a normal world, the range and degree of variation here is impacted both by your being an experimental planet and by the loss of the stabilization of both a planetary cultural uplift and a genetic physical uplift. Thus your differences are more [[profound]] and convolutionally [[perverse]] than would be typical on a normal world. And this is the [[context]] in which you think and feel and meet with one another in your [[discussion]]s on the true [[nature]] of any [[concepts]] you attempt to share.

We all know, and deeply appreciate, just how much this mission means to you. It brings great satisfaction to our [[hearts]] that you have [[listen]]ed, have heard and responded to the call, that we have been able to be of [[service]] to you. We [[love]] you with a [[profound]] and deep [[affection]], one greatly deepened by our long association with you, and for me, this time has been a crowning [[glory]] of all my years of service on [[Urantia]] and in your behalf. Yet in your [[intensity]] of the deep [[meaning]] to you of this [[Correcting Time]], you do not readily [[realize]] that you often lack the capability for [[balance]]. You have not been well taught in this deprived world [[culture]], nor are the aspects bred into you as well as was once planned. You will be wrestling for some time to come to attain even a beginner's understanding of true [[balance]]. And do not chastise yourselves that this is so, for it is not easy of attainment on the most normal of worlds in the earlier stages of development and it is particularly difficult for you on a world stricken as badly as yours. There are only a few worlds that have fared as bad or worse than your own in this travesty [[Lucifer]] fostered in [[Nebadon]].

But you come at any differences of opinion about [[things]] that matter with multiple restraining factors right from the start. And so it is utterly [[understandable]] that you will have strong [[feelings]] and reactions to the differences among you about something that means as much to you as this mission does. And that you will struggle with agreement, with assessment, with [[beliefs]], with the details of this long-hoped for uplift you so [[desire]].

Dear ones, we know your struggles with this and have nothing but [[compassion]] and [[love]] for your sincere hearts, for your longing to better know and understand just what is true and what is not. Your need for certainty is all the greater for the great disruption of your world wrought by [[the rebellion]] and [[Adamic default|default]]. And it often manifests as a desire for certainty in ways that cannot yet be. Our answers to you on these things cannot always be as simple as you would like or even we would like. Again, that requirement of [[balance]] means we are continually making [[decisions]], both [[personal]]ly and in our conferences and discussions, as to what to speak to and when. If we give you too little, you founder. If we give you too much, you cease in using your own decision-making capacity to its fullest. As any parents must deal with their children's needs, so it is with us, for the [[pattern]] of parent/child, teacher/student is a [[universal]] one and the lessons thereof do not end any time soon. You are our beloved students, children of the realms, and your [[ultimate]] welfare is always of greater import than your immediate concerns. Every parent knows that this can be very difficult and even painful, and so it often is for us. But be assured your welfare is always our greatest consideration as we work with you to build a future that will bring [[light and life]] to your world.

I know that you all hunger for this time on [[Urantia]], the time when all will finally fall into place, fall into step with the more normal scheme of [[things]]. We also long to see this happen, to see the wrongs righted and the woes redressed. But the struggle of the [[race]]s of [[Urantia]] has ever been for [[patience]]. Part of this is simply natural to the children of the [[evolution]]ary [[universe]], but in your case, it is also part of the lack of healthy cultural training and genetic perfecting. When our beloved sovereign [[Michael]] left your world, many who had seen him believed that he would return in their lifetimes. This utterly understandable yearning has remained with you and will not fade away until such time as he does return, and the other ministries of the sons of the [[Eternal Son]] are fulfilled. This yearning is in you for a [[reason]] - it helps you to move forward even in the face of [[darkness]] and despair - it is the outward yearning towards your [[destiny]] that is fulfilled [[Inner Life|within]]. But it has always been possible to misinterpret this yearning and to make your hopes into realities that are not yet at hand. There is no shame in this. Far better that you yearn for the fulfillment of such spiritual hopes than that you languish hopeless and without direction. But when you become insistent that others interpret that [[hope]] in the same [[light]] that you do interpret it, you are in danger of falling into [[error]].

In this, you are like any other [[group]] of humans upon your world. But this mission is not rooted in the failures or successes of your specific groups or variants, but on the [[individual]] spiritual growth step by step that adds to the forward motion of the All. Therefore every one of you have [[value]] to the success of this mission, whether in a [[group]] or alone. Your choices for the Father's will, your sincere desires to move forward, will always be the basic building blocks of the [[Healing|reclamation]] of [[Urantia]], even as they are the building blocks of [[the Supreme]]. The Supreme evolves, [[personality]] by personality with personality. The aggregations formed of multiple personalities come and go on a basis of [[functionality]] and a variety of [[purposes]]. But the individual's choice of the will of God through identification with the [[indwelling spirit]], remains the watchword of the evolutionary races of [[Spacetime|time and space]], and step by step, however much faltering occurs, you move into [[eternity]].

So ask in your own hearts what it is that you believe and where your loyalties lie. Be wise and discerning. Assess what is before you and what you hear and see, in both word and deed. Make your own choices, and seek always your [[Thought Adjuster|adjuster's] [[voice]] and the endless [[friendship]] of the [[Spirit of Truth]]. Debating your choices with others who have made their choices is useless. Debasing others for their choices is wasted effort and worse. Dead trees eventually fall of their own weight. Fruiting trees eventually bear fruit. [[Patience]] is always the [[harvest]]er of any sincere desires, and even the dead trees that fall may provide shelter to the new [[hopes]] and [[dreams]] that seemed too frail at first to [[persist]]. You will have more success if you seek more to share the truths of the gospel of Michael than to debate the details of administrations that you cannot yet even begin to understand.

Even as you [[love]] your Father-God, knowing you are respected as an eternal child in his kingdom, [[love]] one another. Learning love takes precedence over every [[thing]] that can ever be. Have love and you have it all. Have not love and you are bereft of all. When you lose your way and [[wonder]] what your task is, return always to the one eternal basic [[thing]]: Love one another.
