Dear Mother Spirit and Michael, Tonight we want to thank You for these living conversations in which You reveal and share with us Your marvelous attitude toward our own lives—always positive and hopeful for us, ever forgiving of our past mistakes and showing us how to be well established in the present. We so value Your point of view and try our best to live Your attitude towards ourselves and our fellows. Amen.

NEBADONIA: Good evening, My sons, this is your mother, Nebadonia, offering you all My heartfelt love and devotion. I truly love to communicate with you this way and share My life with you. You speak of My viewpoint, and I know from your perspective, those of you who have studied the Urantia book, you do have some understanding of the scope of Michael’s and My sovereignty and parenthood over so many millions of worlds. We appreciate that over these last several years of getting together like this you have come to trust how personable We can be with you. This is just one of Our abilities, one of Our delights in being a Creator Son and Mother Spirit of a Local Universe. We do not have to—as you might think of it--shrink Ourselves down to relate to each of you as a unique individual in our family. Indeed We have been doing Our best to express to you how much of your lives We also experience.

Your textbook informs you that all living personalities are intrinsically minded, and that you are well established in the spiritual dimensions of reality. Yet We have also informed you that from the very earliest years of your life, as your mind developed, you were able to contact one by one another dimension of My Adjutants of Mind/Spirit, and enjoy yet one more extension of mental power—of quick reasoning, sociability and gregariousness with your fellows, the curiosity and courage to want to explore your world. Then there were My final two supreme Adjutants of Worship and Wisdom helping you be thankful to our Father for His gift of life, and being self-aware of all your worldly experience and how this has grown in you; then how I was able to help you use this wisdom. So even though you are intrinsically minded in and of yourselves, still I am right within you helping you experience what you do. On this level we are sharing our lives together. And We hope that this recently revealed knowledge of how Michael and I are involved in your lives gives you an appreciation how to use Us, first by being aware of these mind and spirit dimensions, then whole-heartedly entering into prayer, never too shy or proud to ask for Our help in expanding and extending all these dimensions of your power. What parent doesn’t want their children to be strong and truly enjoying their life, spontaneously worshiping and thanking our Father for His gift?

(Your mind has no limits)

*(Your mind has no limits)

So We hope to inspire and encourage you to keep reaching, to keep growing, to keep expanding, by reassuring you your mind has no limits. You are capable of growing this way forever. Some folks go through their lives as if somehow their mind was of a limited capacity and they dared not fill it to overflowing too soon, but this is more a matter of misunderstanding basic principles upon which you found and organize your experience so it always available to you. The correct understanding is wisdom. This is putting all your experience to work to enhance and reap all the rewards in your present moments.

We do not slight your very real pain, or the genuine tragedies that befall you, sometimes not even of your own doing but just by being a small part in a gigantic situation; or as We have discussed before, suffering some of the intrinsic realities of being human, such as separation from loved ones, failure at very heart-felt enterprises, as well as all the squashed dreams of adolescence. Yet you do understand that We see Our children triumphing over all of these difficulties. We follow them not only within our Local Universe but on in their spiritual careers out into the galaxy, and then even beyond time and space into the Central Universe of Havona and even, ultimately, Paradise. So from Our point of view neither negates the other, but both are real, both the pain and suffering that you endure, and the glorious future that awaits you. We invite you to come join Us in this viewpoint, both toward yourself and toward your fellows--that you do not deny or slight even the smallest amount of pain that you or someone else might have to endure, but you do your best to alleviate it by penetrating all the way down to the root causes of whatever it is, all the while maintaining a real living touch with the positive fact of life itself. In this one fact, My children, you do not need to grow, for this is your absolute reality right this moment. You are a creation of God, and you are literally tying together all these different aspects of your life.

(Attitude)

*(Attitude)

Your attitude is your willingness and your ability to relate to all the life surrounding you. Cherish it well, and use all of Our help to be honest within yourself, to have the courage to truly open up to the truth in each moment, respecting and cherishing all the God-created reality all about you, and within you. You are always on the threshold of the unknown, and you are slowing gaining the confidence to see that you would really never have it any other way as you step off with faith again, and again, and again.

Student: Dear Nebadonia, I think we’d appreciate any help at all in how to prepare for the Magisterial Mission. It’s still a pretty new concept for most people, even Urantia book readers, so any help in that department would be appreciated. Thanks.

(Getting ready for Monjoronson)

*(Getting ready for Monjoronson)

NEBADONIA: Yes, V, when you look forward to an event such as this, the coming of an Avonal Son on a magisterial mission, and you are aware that this marks the beginning of a great new phase in planetary history, it is easy to be over-awed by the promised enormity of the event, and perhaps make the erroneous assumption that this particular coming of Spirit to the planet somehow dwarfs your own need to keep growing spiritually in your own day to day life. This is why Monjoronson himself has reiterated that certain conditions must exist before He can make full use of His particular abilities and powers. All such beings of enormous spiritual power are self-limiting from a wisdom and absolute purity of motivation and understanding, which are by definition almost beyond the scope of human comprehension; which is why it calls for trust and faith on your part. Your own spirit and spiritual growth are very much in your own hands. And on a larger scale, so too is all the daily living of all the people on Urantia. The whole planetary soul, if you wish to think of it in these terms--the experience of all the people living today, is very much in their own hands. This is that essential freedom that constitutes you a human being, and no Son of Paradise origin would even think of abrogating that freedom in the tiniest amount.

This is what We mean by not in any way slighting or dissembling the real pain that some people experience--what you call domestic violence--the truly obscene things that are done both to children and parents. And yes, for children it does take maturity based on a lot of other experience outside these terribly violent families, first to learn that the whole world is not this way, for only then from a broader perspective, begin to understand why their parents are the way they are. Sometimes it’s a kind of familial violence that extends over many generations. You have the sad reality of those who have been abused as children become abusers themselves as parents, never gaining the understanding and the insight necessary to break the cycle.

(The mercy of forgiveness)

*(The mercy of forgiveness)

This is why it takes the mercy of forgiveness to break the cycle. As We put it once before, you accept all the negative karma you encounter and let it end with you. This takes enormous strength and generosity, which can only come from spirit. For in one way it is beyond mental reasoning based only on the negative aspects of the past. It is only with the power of love can you see your way clear to being fully in the present, looking to a brighter future and what must be done to bring that future about.

NEBADONIA: When you think of the young man walking out onto the bridge to end his life, think of what a wonderful opportunity to save a life all those folks, passing by, missed.

(Beaming love into everyone)

*(Beaming love into everyone)

Do you remember several years ago, Michael offered you the wonderful experience of beaming love into everyone you meet? Now for many of you, it became a very strange and unexpected gift of all of a sudden noticing all these people in your life. Because as you seek to beam love into everyone you meet, you’re immediately given a present of humanity you may have been ignoring. You start to notice and appreciate how unique each single person is. And what a treasure! What a treasure to fill your soul, all because you began by giving of yourself--giving up your self-absorption, forgetting yourself in the act of loving another.

For a final appraisal of connection, it’s a very rare suicide that goes off the Golden Gate towards the ocean. Even in their final moments, the final terrible moments for another human soul, still they are reaching towards their fellows in those beautiful cities across the bay. So to offer that connection can be priceless, for both of you.

Let’s end this evening on that note. I started by telling you of all the ways that We share your life and We feel you living right within us; and We invite you to feel Us living within you. Give Us the gift of yourselves. Give yourselves to Us, and to Our Father. Give yourselves to this wonderful mission of our Avonal Brother who comes to help end the suffering, the terrible human suffering that you are inflicting upon each other so much more full of horror than any natural catastrophe.

Keep the faith. Keep reaching out to each other. Pray that you are the one who could turn around that lonely soul as he or she heads for the Golden Gate Bridge with a face full of sorrow and despair. And be in My Love. (Thank you Nebadonia.) Good evening.
