MONJORONSON:  They don’t know what else to [[think]] of them.  If they think of [[aliens]] and [[space]] visitors as coming from advanced worlds, they then must acknowledge how [[primitive]] they are here, and that is [[difficult]] for you to do here -- having been an isolated world – unwilling, unable to [[accept]] the [[fact]] of your [[isolation]].  Such a fact will bring on a sense of abandonment.  Why would God forsake us and leave us here on a cold [[orb]] in [[space]] without a [[connection]] to other worlds such as these spaceships have.  As if to say, “What are we? Chopped liver?”

Thus much [[propaganda]] will need to be provided on the affirmative side, and thus we have a team of [[workers]] working on just that precept.  We have the [[Galactic Federation]] as well as the [[Battlestar Urantia]] and other [[sci-fi]] [[films]] and [[fantasies]] designed to [[reveal]] the [[universe]] as an enormous [[playground]], a huge expansion over the small, back-lot ball field you’ve been playing in.  What our team has been doing is presenting [[space ships]] that your [[Air Force]] is still trying to copy and worlds that [[Muslims]] would die for, with the [[beautiful]] [[women]] – virgins all – and the gardens of such [[luxury]] and largess that the seed-keepers of today’s crops cringe to behold.

There are so many ways for people to lose [[power]] if the [[universe]] were revealed as the [[dynamic]], industrious and [[friendly]] place which you know it to be.  And so it is yet another matter for the [[Correcting Time]] that these prejudicial approaches to [[galactic]] [[neighborhoods]] must be torn down.  In [[time]] you will become [[conscious]] of your [[intergalactic]] [[neighbors]], and while there is some time before you will be able to “ship off” to go to other [[inhabited worlds]], you will soon be [[accepting]] those which drive by your [[neighborhood]] and shoot [[messages]] of [[hope]] and [[light]] and [[humor]] … capriciousness … and [[scientific]] expertise.

Each small [[thing]] contributes to the large thing and makes the large thing [[work]].  It’s working [[together]] that enables this to become more [[powerful]], and [[learning]] to work together takes [[time]].  In [[truth]] you [[work]] together now, although much of your working together now results in [[chaos]] rather than [[harmony]], only because of your lack of [[experience]], your impatience, and your [[confidence]] that you can do it yourself if they would just leave you alone.  These are all very [[normal]], [[standard]] [[attitudes]] for the [[evolving worlds]] and all [[mortals]] upon them.

When your [[child]] was small, when she took her first step, did you not [[rejoice]] that she took her first step, but did you not also [[grieve]] the [[fact]] that she would soon be up and running and would no longer be an infant, [[dependent]] on you for her every need.  We [[experience]] something similar when we [[observe]] the worlds [[developing]].  We rejoice when they have [[attained]] a certain level of [[function]] and yet we [[remember]] fondly those days when they were so frail and wobbly they depended upon the over-controllers to provide the cocoon, the [[womb]], the construct that would [[support]] it in the incubator while it grew, while it [[developed]].

Each [[stage]] of [[existence]] is its own [[reality]], is its own delight.  Even as you at each phase of your [[development]] [[understand]] the distance you have come so far and the new [[adventures]] that lie [[immediately]] ahead.  This is a gift, this everlasting life, this [[eternal]] [[adventure]], and when you say you want it all done now, you are saying I don’t want your gift; I want to do it my way, because the gift is in the [[moment]] to moment unfolding.  The [[relative]] [[reality]] of each step of the [[journey]] includes it being [[relatively]] slow and relatively imperfect and relatively insignificant.

MONJORONSON:  True.  But try to be a producer as well as a consumer.  There is really much [[work]] to be done.  We are [[Anticipation|looking forward]] to the day when people sit around and [[develop]] a [[taste]] for new [[creations]], new [[paradigms]] of [[reality]], new [[values]] to espouse and aspire toward, new mores to cultivate as [[altruistic]], a new approach to [[law]] and order.  There is much to be said for the [[adventure]], but again I reiterate the [[joy]] that comes from [[intelligent]] effort as compared from the [[joy]] that comes from being a [[Spectator|passenger]].

MONJORONSON:  There are many who like it the way it is and who [[conservatively]] aspire to [[maintain]] [[stability]] and the [[idea]] of [[change]] is [[anathema]] to their sense of well being.  It is said that the [[human]] [[animal]] balks at being weaned from its reliance upon the [[ego]] and the [[status quo]], but it is also true that there are conservators of [[value]] that are similarly reluctant to latch onto any new fad or fancy that comes along simply because it’s there.

The young people tend to go through these fads like Epsom salts, and your [[culture]] is known to be a “throw-away” [[society]], and so the tendency would be to snatch a [[celestial]] out of the [[consciousness]] of a [[T/R]], unwrap it, gobble it up, and throw away the wrapping, eager to find out what the next one tastes like.  This proclivity makes it very [[difficult]] for us to settle into anything of [[substance]], with your [[cooperation]], unless it is something that will excite you and titillate your sense of [[adventure]] … such as [[crop circles]] will do, or [[disasters]] – which we have talked about often enough -- but frankly it is a way of getting your [[attention]].  We do have our challenges here in this mission.  And we are learning with you, which is appropriate when dealing with an [[experimental]] [[planet]] like this one.

But I do want to say that just because you are an experimental world does not give either us or you carte blanche.  There are [[universal]] [[laws]] that must be adhered to.  Michael is very [[liberal]] in his overall management of his [[universe]], and allows great latitude in the [[minds]] of his [[children]].  The [[creative]] breadth and depth is [[generous]].  The [[possibilities]] and plausibility of accomplishment are sometimes impressive, even mind-boggling.  But even so there are over-riding rules that we are all required to adhere to, built in.

MONJORONSON:  You all [[think]] of it too [[academically]].  It is not like it was set down as the [[Bill of Rights]] or the [[Ten Commandments]].  If you are [[learning]] how to [[perceive]] the [[presence]] of [[God]] you will become familiar with [[God]], and he will convey to you what his will for you is and you will experiencingly [[feel]] it.  And you may never be able to define it or put it into [[words]] but if you are living within it, that is what matters.

If they pause to ask, they will be confirmed.  Yes, this is the way.  If you are not [[conforming]] to God’s will as God sees it, God will let you know.  You will be able to read the [[signs]].  But you must be open to be taught, to be led, to be [[guided]], and there is still so many, so many on this world who so often do still believe they are required to do it all – to [[think]] it up, to plan it out, to [[work]] it through, and to make it happen.

I tell you, all you need to do is count the cost.  And I am not talking about [[money]], here.  I am talking about what kind of [[investment]] you can make in [[doing His will]].  Can you stand behind your [[faith]]? Will you become a man of your [[word]]? Will you be seen as a [[personality]] with [[character]] and [[integrity]], or are you deciding what you want people to see you as and creating your own persona such that they cannot see you for the [[affectation]] you have placed upon yourself?  Are you [[genuine]] or are you a construct of your own [[imagination]]?

There is a great deal of [[peace]] prevailing today in the [[collective]] [[superconsciousness]] of your world.  Even though there are trouble spots on your [[planet]], the Prince of Peace prevails in the [[hearts]] of many, and [[Deity]] [[reality]] is a [[conscious]] [[fact]] in the [[minds]] of most.  And so taking [[time]] to [[appreciate]] [[Deity]] [[reality]] can only contribute to [[the Supreme|the Evolving Supreme]], to the [[march]] toward [[light and life]], toward your goal for [[Urantia]].
