Daniel (Bill): Hello, my friends, this is your teacher, Daniel, your friend, your guide, your counselor, and your proud mentor. I am pleased to welcome Abigail to our teaching team here, and to remind you that for everyone who desires a personal teacher the reserves of the universe have been tapped and there is available an individual suited to your needs, compatible with your personality, and eager to assist. Thank you for once again coming to our Melchizedek classroom in order to enact the role of students and teachers, for you are both, as you share with each other your wisdom and listen to each other's point of view.

SHARING FROM ABUNDANCE

SHARING FROM ABUNDANCE

 

Virginia: Daniel, I am not sure it's a question, but I did have a thought. Last Friday night, I think I have already shared it, and you probably are already aware of it, but I do believe that when we share from our abundance it helps our self-esteem. And is that the reason that you maybe went into sharing as a particular lesson in this self-esteem content?

Daniel (Bill): For it is of interest to me. I wish to dwell not so much on the exact words of rewiring versus neuronal synapse build up or whatever choice of words you wish to see, but rather on the idea that one could by a simple means of rewiring correct a problem perfectly as you would do with a machine. The growth of the soul is so different from the rewiring of a machine that the two are really difficult of comparison. You see what we are talking about here is not some more or less perfectly functioning object that goes bad, and needs a new wiring to restore it to its original functioning, as you would with a computer for example. But rather we are talking about growth of the soul, from animal mind origins, through the repeated choices of the mind until that soul attains morontial value, e.g. it is beyond mortal status. It is destined to go beyond the limited time of mortal existence and ever does the soul grow, not as does a computer, or not as does a piece of stereo equipment [Ed: by adding new components], but ever does the soul grow like the growth of a gorgeous flowering plant from the tinniest seed through the growth of the root system, the stems, the leaves, the blossoming flowers eventually, larger and larger and more luxurious and beautiful. The journey of perfectedness is not a restoration of perfectedness. It is a continuous, ongoing growth process. The correction of mistakes is more like the trimming of a tree, the pruning of a plant, removing that which doesn't work so that the remainder may grow more efficiently. That would have been and hopefully now has been more enlightening.

You see St. Paul in the Bible talks about morontial life without using that word, and he says words to the effect that now we see like in a mirror, just a mere reflection, darkly, imperfectly, incompletely, but then [on morontial worlds] we shall see face to face; in other words, without the mirror, but directly. And then he goes on to say that we don't know what it will be like, it does not appear what it shall be, but we know that when he does come, we will be like him. This was Paul's understanding of what it would be like to pass beyond mortality into the presence of Christ; and while Paul also was given a vision of the mansion worlds his understanding was also somewhat limited.

The MORONTIA LIFE

The MORONTIA LIFE

As I said earlier until now you have not known much about the morontial life. Paul was given some inklings, and other members of other religions have also in the past been given flashes of insight. Because the default and rebellion have been completely adjudicated now it is time for this planet to be reconnected with the rest of the universe and begin to get a different perspective. It is a slow process. It cannot happen overnight. But even in your sciences there is an opening to the concept that there maybe many, many planets with life on them, not from a theological perspective, but from a purely random chance perspective. Even so, this changes the world view of people, so that they can begin to accept the real truth which is being portrayed now, initially through the Urantia Book as an up-grade of all world religions, and now through the Correcting Time as well.

Daniel (Bill): Sometime, not this evening, I will discourse, or one of the other teachers will discourse, on the concept of service. We may be able to give you some broadening perspectives as to what this may mean. But that is a good question. . . . .
