Changes

That brings me to my other point in the phrase, and that is the word “so”.  Since it is true that you and another have the light and that the awakening of another to the light you let shine is a [[memory|remembering]], a though faint but familiar sense of what one already has, your so shining is to provide the degree, the [[intensity]], of [[luminosity]] that [[encourages]] that reawakening.

May I for illustration change to another image?  Picture a feather floating in the air.  As you wave your hand around and past it, your air currents can draw it along.  With [[practice]] and skill you can [[navigate]] that feather some distance.  But if you were to turn on a fan, yes, you would cause it to move, but you would immediately blow it out of your influence, and it would fall rapidly to the ground.  That is the “so shining” of your light, to bring enough into perceptivity that another is [[gravity|drawn]] into that light and the [[simultaneous]] recognition of the light within them.  This is literal.  What light is recognized within oneself is a true, real [[experience]].  It is a degree of attainment.

The [[intensity]] of the light of God is more than the human [[mind]] can comprehend at various stages of [[soul]] unfoldment.  So, what lies beyond your present ability to experience the light appears figurative.  That may perhaps be the [[word]] to describe the [[potential]] of your attainment of your receptivity to the divine light.

Question #4:  The next topic concerns the planetary Supreme. This individual states that they have been learning about the planetary Supreme.  Just as [[God the Supreme]] is the oversoul of [[creation]], is the planetary Supreme the oversoul of each particular planet in her realm?

Monjoronson:  You are correct in stating that the Supreme is the oversoul of creation. It is good to note that human consciousness seeks wholeness on the level of the planet in the perception of an oversoul of the planet.  But the nature of [[the Supreme]] is wholeness, unity, the blending of all the [[experience]]s throughout the [[grand universe]] from the beginning of [[time]] to the end of time.  So, while you do find administrators, creators, master spirits, beings of origin from [[Trinity]]; overseeing worlds, [[constellation]]s, and [[Paper 45 - The Local System Administration|systems]]; there is only one Supreme.

Just as in yourself you have your [[body]] and your [[mind]]; you have your [[rational]] mind and your [[intuitive]] mind; you have your matrix of [[feelings]]; you have your character traits; there is only one [[soul]]. But that mankind is perceiving wholeness on the level of the planet, perceiving wholeness in a collectivity of planets, and increasingly perceiving the wholeness and unity of the entire [[universe]]; this is the [[movement]] and growth of [[the Supreme]] itself.

Question #6:  How do you relate these [[truths]] and [[thoughts]] to beings who clearly are not ready or interested in such treasures when one is dealing with them on a daily basis?

Monjoronson:  I will return to our first question of this evening, and that is to let your light so shine.  I will draw from [[the midwayers]] presentation of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=The_Urantia_Text_-_Contents#Part_IV._The_Life_and_Teachings_of_Jesus the life and teachings of Jesus)] when they made record of his visit to [[Rome]] and how he engaged in [[conversation]] with many people from all walks of life and did so first by showing a genuine interest and curiosity about them and then in coming to understand introductorily about them, [[translated]] the spiritual truths he wished to express into the terminology of their lifestyles, whether it be their careers or other interests.

Spiritual growth is incremental, and so you may aspire to assist another to a great awakening, to a comprehensive [[insight]] of [[reality]], but recall in your own life few have been the events of great sudden awakening. The degree of your comprehension of [[cosmic]] [[reality]] has been a step by step unfoldment and attainment.  You are most successful if you draw that person one step further.  It is highly efficient to do this, for you need not teach the next ten or one hundred steps.  The drawing of the first step often stimulates the soul of that individual to make the subsequent step.
