Changes

Ham: Yes, my daughter, he is a man who experienced much [[pain]] during this life. Some of it, much of it, was brought on himself, but much of it was not under his control. He is a sleeping survivor in the fifth group out of ten meaning when the dispensation comes he will be awakened with the fifth group.

Every person is given a full chance to choose life eternal or death eternal. You cannot fully choose during this life and this life alone in most cases. Most [[suicide]]s are rash actions to escape [[pain]]. They are not necessarily [[action]]s to deny themselves life everlasting and they are not treated as such. Your father's suicidal tendencies, his deep [[melancholia]], were largely a [[chemical]] imbalance. When he is awakened he will awaken without the [[pain]]. His [[mind]] will be clearer and he will have ample opportunity to readjust and to make the [[supreme decision]] at a later time. In all likelihood you will be waiting for him on his awakening as you were there for his departure, you can also be there for his arrival if this is your choice. Do not be concerned about his well being for he will be well taken care of and have no consciousness of the time between death and new life. This new life will be a time of great rejoicing for your mother will also awaken fully restored and the pain of this life will be a dim [[memory]]. Many times people wish to have a [[chance]] to undo some [[things]] that were done, to say some [[things]] that should have been said, and [[the Father]] in his [[mercy]] gives ample time for these reparations.

Q: Ham, I have a question. You told us that when we arrive in the mansion worlds we will be energized and youthful. Does that mean we will be in human form, will we actually look the way we do now?

Ham: Of course, the teaching mission is part of the effort to foster spiritual [[growth]] and stable spiritual growth. The Urantia book as well is designed to help stabilize the [[minds]] of spiritually led mortals. Your [[society]] has changed quite a bit since those [[words]] were written. There is now a greater acceptance of spiritual paths which are not conforming to the old ways. Part of this concern about functioning safely was that at that time if humans had spiritual [[experience]]s which took them outside the bounds of [[traditional]] [[religion]], there was very little room for them, no where for them to feel safe offering these experiences to others. Sometimes when a human's adjuster becomes self-acting, it precipitates a [[psychological]] [[crisis]] and there is some time lapse between this occurrence and the calming down of the [[person]], the grounding again of that person and the smooth functioning in [[society]] to resume. And during the early part of the century, [[psychotic]] episodes sometimes landed a person in a rather permanent psychiatric facility, lobotomies were performed, and so forth. But now, there is greater awareness, less fear of people who [[experience]] the world somewhat differently. Not that there is less [[fanaticism]], but there is less fear of unusual [[behavior]]. There is also less fear of seeking psychiatric help during periods of instability and this is very heartening as well. Spiritual progress is not dependent upon anything but the willingness to be spiritually led. In other [[words]], it is not dependent upon [[genetic]] factors and so forth.

Go in peace my children. You are all doing very well. My love and prayers are with you each, farewell.
