Charles: [Mark] Greetings, Charles here to entertain the [[discussion]]. I'd like to seize on the thread of [[thought]] about the question posed for discussion and for the record I would restate it in condensed form as: What might the [[barriers]] be to [[attain]] your highest [[aspirations]]? This is the ever present question for all [[mortals]] of the realm. You start from a very mortal and material position and you grow as mortals of the realm to realize that you have more inherent capabilities than strictly the material/mortal [[existence]] of yourself. You have connection to a higher aspect of your [[being]], your [[spirit]] self and you are learning that you are a combination being of this mortal component of flesh and blood and this spiritual component of eternal spirit. And as mortals of the realm you do a [[dance]], back and forth between your mortal self and your spiritual being, sometimes granting one the greater [[authority]] and at other times granting other aspects greater liberties.
As [[students]] of spirit you have all been [[diligent]] at showing up to class, at learning the principles at [[play]], the examples of thought, word and deed and then you have become proficient with playing with these principles in real terms, applying what is a spiritual [[principle]] into your material plane of existence. And you have all witnessed, that by doing so and in adhering to these principles you have engaged in the [[flow]] of energy and in very [[truth]], the manipulation of [[matter]]. You have conditioned the environment of your own vehicle and of circumstances around you by your very [[intention]] to do so. And so you are aware of not only the existence of these principles, but the truth of their [[reality]] as you have observed them in your own lives.
There looms out there the ever present question of your association with the [[Divine]] with that component of your being, that part of yourself. You see yourself as a [[fragment]] of [[the whole]], as a piece of all that is but your realization of this association may take many [[incarnations]] for it is a matter of [[faith]] and it must be personally [[explored]] by the [[individual]] to be meaningful in any sense. Once the part realizes their connection to the whole, they begin this association process, the process of identification, the part with the whole. In this process you come to realize more and more that you are not only associated, you are not only a piece but your piece is representative of the whole and your fragment is [[connected]] to the whole and is a piece of the gigantic jigsaw [[puzzle]] necessary to complete the entire picture.
In each incarnation, as you become more spiritualized in your [[perspective]], you will come more and more to identify with the grandness of which you are a piece and in this process you will naturally assume more rightful authority as to your place in this succession of [[divinity]]. For now it is very challenging for an individual mortal of the realm to assume such a mantle of [[grandeur]] as they envision this connection of divinity to be. It is natural to see yourselves still as unworthy or not entitled to your [[heritage]]. This is where only [[experience]] and [[time]] will bridge the gap. You must [[assure]] yourselves of these truths and build your faith in this process, in your position in this process, in your position in the [[family of God]].
It is natural to be insecure as mortals of the realm in this [[status]] that you hold, awaiting some [[confirmation]] and certainty to [[comfort]] you along the way. So it is completely natural for you to fail to fully [[embrace]] your potentials as mortals of the realm [[infused]] by spirit. It is difficult at times for you to see yourselves more than simply mortals of the realm alongside all the other mortals of the realm functioning similarly in the same [[paradigm]]. You are building this new paradigm you refer to even now. This willingness of yours to reach out and connect and take in lessons from on high helps you expand your [[consciousness]] and awareness.
As in your discussion this morning, it is always good to ask the question - why not? What enables us to function and what prohibits us from acting? These are constant [[questions]] to ask yourselves throughout the process. Where are your barriers, what are your [[strengths]]? How might you apply yourselves more fully, with greater intention and [[purpose]]? These are questions of a lifetime so it is a joy to once again bring them up and discuss them with you. I assure you that all of this seeking, searching and finding meets with [[ultimate]] success. Truly it is all [[good]] in the end. Thank you for the opportunity, for your inquiries. I appreciate your willingness to discuss lofty [[topics]], good day to you all.
Serena: [Cathy] I observe much [[progress]] in Michael's plan to bring [[this planet]] into its proper [[relationship]] with others in our system. The [[action]] of spirit is increasing and the true [[brotherhood]] of man is becoming a reality. All of these improvements bring [[Urantia]] towards the desired beginning of [[Light and Life]]. Continue to live your reality in spirit and act as a [[catalyst]] changing the [[perception]] of reality for others. Together we are creating the world envisioned by Michael.
Jonathan: [Cathy] I can barely withhold my excitement at the prospect of distributing the Principles of Dr. Mendoza as collected by our group. It is a great [[service]] and will be a valuable tool as we move forward. From my perspective it is a fantastic tool. Why not indeed, let the gig begin.
===Closing===
Dr. Mendoza: [Mark] I would welcome your invitation as well, Dr. Mendoza here checking in for consultation this morning. I [[understand]] that there has been some concern and discussion over the [[observation]] that we have been functioning as a team under the [[hierarchy]] we have laid out of [[physician]] and physician's assistants. This is indeed quite a serviceable construct of [[thinking]] to be utilized by the team members at hand. I would offer and upgrade perhaps to the [[language]] we employ in this process because while you are indeed connected and my assistants, implying that I am also involved and assisting, you fulfill an even more important [[function]] and that is, you are a surrogate physician. You are the one who is in charge and I oftentimes am assisting you.
So while you are busy building the construct in which you are assisting me, the only one seen by the patient is you. They do not know of the connection between you and I and the fact that you are considered my assistant. Instead, they see you as the one in charge, the surrogate physician, the one in place doing what needs to be done, representing the team, the clinic, the office behind them. So it is truly a matter of [[semantics]] and [[vocabulary]]. If you are more comfortable considering yourselves assisted, then utilize this framework of [[thought]] but realize that you are the physician in attendance, the surrogate position, the representative of our [[relationship]] and I am happy to assist you in these times. I am [[happy]] to facilitate with you these universe principles but in fact I am assisting you as you orchestrate the delivery of this system.
So while you are perhaps considering yourselves only to be mere assistants, in [[fact]], when the patient is present it is you who will act for us. It is you who will be seen and observed in action. You are accomplishing the objective, the physicians are healing themselves. I just wanted to bring this note of [[recognition]], everything is about perspective as you have shared with your [[analogy]] of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_men_and_an_elephant elephant] and our perspective puts you as the primary physician assisted by a host of spiritual energies. Without you there would be no [[action]]. Therefore I recognize the position you play and [[honor]] you for accepting this role. I assure you I will continue to support your every efforts. Call on me as you have need, I am available to consult at any time, farewell.
===Note===
The [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_men_and_an_elephant parable of the 5 blind men] each trying to describe an elephant. Each is describing a different part of the animal but instead of debating who is right, they pool their observations resulting in a better overall understanding of the elephant.
