Solonia - Preparation Lessons (T/R Daniel)

===Teacher: [[Solonia]]===

===TR: [[Daniel Megow]]===

#1 - Wholeheartedly and Unconditionally Loving Truth

Truth is a difficult subject here on [[Urantia]]. There are so very many [[perception]]s and levels of Truth [[discernment]], all active upon this world at the present [[time]].

#4 - Focusing Your Attention

What is it that stands in the way mostly, that can inhibit a pure love of Truth? [[Habit]] is one. Another is [[pride]]. The pride of [[ego]] is the [[fear]] of being wrong or perceived by others as being [[wrong]]. This fear, indeed fear of any kind, must be given up. The fear that I speak of is spiritual fear and not [[material]] fear. Fear for your safety taught you [[wisdom]], but the spiritual type of fear-fear of not being loved, fear of not being in control, fear of loving unconditionally, fear of discovering the whole Truth-these fears, it is time to put behind you, for you know truly that you are loved and cherished first and foremost by Our Heavenly Father and by Michael and Mother. You know also of this supreme-like love. You should also know by now how much we your [[teachers]] in this Mission love and cherish you, as well. And there are so many, many more who are constantly at your aid.

#5 - Service In the Moment and For the Moment

Let go of [[concepts]] that hinder you from moving forward in your quest for [[the Father]]'s [[Truth]]. When you feel someone has wronged you, seek to discover the Truth. Very few on your world percentage-wise are truly [[evil]] in [[intent]]. You need not seek ever to look and search out for those who would truly be evil. You need only seek to discover where there is [goodness], in Truth. The Truth is you can discover goodness wherever you look and discovering goodness is a very energizing form of discovering Truth. Look for [[beauty]], look for goodness, look always for [[love]], and you will find Truth. Allow Michael's [[Spirit of Truth]] to [[flow]] freely into you. Let that Truth of his [[embrace]] you wholly, for in his embrace and with the spirit of [[our Mother]], you will be safe to discover and love the whole Truth about yourself. The greatest Truth that you can discover in your [[mortal]] life is that you are loved. You always have been and into [[eternity]] you shall be.

Learn to love the Truth about others, about [[reality]], about the world, about yourself. Be a student of [[Truth]]. Learn to love it regardless of what it may look like. Truth is [[divine]].

 

There will be other lessons. This is only one. I truly love you all, dear ones. To use your [[words]], "You are good kids." Look at all sides of this lesson. The whole-hearted level of Truth cannot be embraced in one area and neglected in another. It is all-encompassing.

Good night, dear ones.

Good night, dear ones.

You can say, "I Know that is Father's Will for me," but if you have not experienced the reality of this, first hand, then regardless of how true it may be in potential, it is but a statement. It has not the power to personally affect your life and the lives of those whom you touch. Seeking Father's Will must always be an active and voluntary undertaking.

The discovery of Father's Will is not something that falls from the sky into your lap. Also, it is not something that comes to you out of the blue and says, "This is it." Father's Will is revealed in the act of making choices. All, from the lowest to the highest of the children of God, must discover the Father's will through the act of making personal choices. No one may suppose to decide what is Our Father's Will for another; only for themselves is it possible and profitable. One may speculate, and indeed we may encourage you to speculate upon the out- workings of Father's Will on a broader scale, for in this way are you occasionally able to perceive the steps in Father's Will unfolding for the big picture. Part of the joy of higher life is in this discovery of how Father's Will unfolds--often times, according to one's perceptions, but most usually, not. The fun, if you will, of discovery is in recognizing that our own perceptions-albeit somewhat misaligned with reality-are indeed parallel to the True Will of Our Father and this discovery, for those of us on a higher plane, is a true experience of humor. We enjoy discovering how far we were off as well as how closely we were on. Father's Will is Supreme over all. Indeed, it is truly infinite. Aligning one's self with Father's Will wholeheartedly reveals great and higher Truths. Love of Truth brings a greater desire for what truly is Father's Will.

Do not fear to seek for those things in life that will make your life more productive and even more comfortable. Fear not to step in any direction toward the betterment of your life, for assuredly it is these choice steps-these decision steps-that put you in active situations wherein you Can discover what is Father's Will for you and your direction. Be willing at all times to discover that what you seek may Not be Father's Will. Be unattached as much as possible to outcomes. Attachment to outcomes in a situation may inhibit your receptive ability to be able to truly discover what may or may not have been Father's Will. Seek the Truth, even Crave the Truth, but do not seek to define or mold the Truth.

I know you have experienced these things in your lives, even many times, and yet if you would truly prepare yourself in the best way possible to be ready for that which is approaching, then these experiences must indeed become an all-the-time occurrence. They must one day become a natural part of you. You know of what I speak. Even, you have lived times wherein this was a seemingly unbroken fact of life, and yet always will there be new challenges, new exercises wherein you must learn once more how to make the quest for Father's Will be the all-encompassing quest for life itself. I assure you it is the eternal quest, for we all must experience this in our way, and it is the flavor of achieving it that feeds the craving for the discovery of more of it.

You may think that unconditionally loving Truth and actively seeking Father's Will might be the only lessons you would need to learn for the great preparation, and indeed they do encompass all lessons. And yet there are others that will be forthcoming. So, continue in your preparation, dear ones. There is much more to come. I love you all dearly and I will say good night until the next time. It is an honor to serve; a great honor.

March 5, 2004 - Lesson 3 - "Comforting Others"

*March 5, 2004

 

*"Comforting Others"

Solonia If you truly wish to prepare yourselves for the incredible opportunities of service to Michael, and indeed to our infinite Father, then an incredible exercise-even more so for it to be an integral part of your life-is to go about comforting others; comforting one another to be sure; comforting those whom you already love, of course. And yet, at All times when you are among your other brothers and sisters of this world are you given opportunities to comfort another fellow child of God. It requires you to be in loving awareness of those about you and, a desire to share a piece of Our Father's Love with them.

This is your sister Solonia and again I am here for another lesson about preparation. When you come into personal contact with another brother or sister whom you do not know-it could be the clerk or a customer in the store; it could be a car salesman or a mechanic, or any of the wide numbers of people whom you may meet in the day-it is going about your business, As you are going about Our Father's business. Being in service to another through the gift of offering comfort may be as simple as, a genuine understanding smile, a look of recognition, of caring, a look of compassion, an acknowledgment of their service or their value. Many are the ways that you can offer the service of comfort to those "as you pass by."

Practice this comforting one another, my dear friends. Practice as if you are training for the Olympics. Become good at it. Become good With it. Worry not about who will comfort you, while you are about comforting others. I assure you, Father will inspire those who will provide your comfort, if you but allow it. Even each of You, my dear students, is in need of comforting. It is a nourishment which all spiritual beings require, and oft-times you provide a service of comfort as you accept one.

*"Focusing Your Attention"

Solonia Greetings precious young ones. It is your elder sister Solonia. I so appreciate you making the time to converse with me.

There is something that it would behoove all of you to begin consciously practicing, and that would be on "Focusing your Attention," your Attentiveness, to the moment at hand.

There is something that it would behoove all of you to begin consciously practicing, and that would be on "Focusing your Attention," your Attentiveness, to the moment at hand.

The present moment is the only place where any of us may experience our Beloved Father; The Eternal Now. Focus dear ones. Practice focusing your attention. The Love that you experience from this experience is worth so far much more than any amount of effort that may be required to attain it. The better you get at it, the better your Service to humankind will be, and so also will grow the level of your Spiritual Maturity and Understanding. When your focused attention is upon the Heavenly Father, then everything and everyone else that you experience, is perceived far more clearly and purely. It is as if you could see, where before you could not.

My love is with you dear ones. Where you focus and place your attention, is where your heart and soul will undoubtedly follow. Let it be upon Truth, Beauty, Goodness and Love. Goodnight.

April 4, 2004 - Lesson 5 - "Service In the Moment and For the Moment"

*"Service In the Moment and For the Moment"

Solonia Another lesson for you to practice if you truly wish to be in higher service to our Father's plan, is practicing individual "Service In the Moment and For the Moment."

This is your sister Solonia and it is good to be back with you after a few weeks off. I trust you have each been studiously been practicing our previous lessons?

You are already aware of the dynamics of tonight's lesson, and truly you are becoming much better in it's practice. It is the way the Master served when he walked this world in the flesh, with his individual loving service to each of his children when he was in their presence. Jesus loved people very much, and always did he look for opportunities to be in loving service with each individual in his presence. And when he so served, he did so In the Moment and For that particular Moment. He very much wished to give Spiritual comfort to each of his children, and he

Jesus loved people very much, and always did he look for opportunities to be in loving service with each individual in his presence. And when he so served, he did so In the Moment and For that particular Moment. He very much wished to give Spiritual comfort to each of his children, and he knew for a certainty that his loving trust in the Father's Will would provide for each individual, through his desire to serve, exactly what that person needed for that particular moment in time. It is to be noted that Jesus never followed up on those he served, to see how they were doing or to see how well his service had served them. For he had absolute trust in the Father's Watchcare and guidance for those people, and he knew that his loving service was to be but one part of their progress in the Father's Plan for them. Jesus rarely planned how he would serve in a particular moment with a particular person, for he knew that the Father would take care of that as well.

This is the type of Service that we all must practice---must learn to love and enjoy---for this indeed is being in Service to the Will of our Heavenly Father. You have loved ones and companions and friends for whom you undoubtedly have more opportunities to serve in this way. And yet the opportunities abound around you, whenever you are among your human brethren, in which you may be called upon to be the one to serve In the Moment and for the Moment. You serve by your love for your brother or sister; you serve in your compassion, in your listening. In these moments words of love often come unbidden, and many times these words are filled with what seems to be intuitive wisdom. In these times you are truly allowing our Divine Parents to minister to their children through you. Concern yourselves not with the consequences of these moments of loving service, for indeed it is truly said, "the action is ours, the consequences, God's." The Master never considered himself to be the one who Saved a person or healed a person, for he knew in fact, that it is only the Father who can do these things in truth.

I cherish my time with you dear ones, but in fact tonight's time has run out. I dearly love you as my little brothers and sisters. I take great satisfaction in watching each of you grow and mature, and ever do I learn from you as well. Goodnight my loves.

April 12, 2004 - Lesson 6 - "Freeing Your Awareness"

*"Freeing Your Awareness"

Solonia Greetings my dear friends. This is your adoring older sister Solonia. Tonight's lesson, number 6 in this series we have been sharing about individual self-preparation for coming times, will be about Freeing Your Awareness.

It is perhaps beyond your ability to discern how truly many opportunities for sharing your Souls, and that Spark of Our Father that is within you, that you are offered each time you step out into public. You have been told before that there are thousands of opportunities each day, and the only thing that blocks your ability to recognize all of them is that as yet, your awareness is not yet fully developed. This is quite normal in the human race as it exists on this world today. And yet, most of you have already developed a level of awareness that is far above the normal on this world---awareness of the Father in your life, and awareness of Father in the lives of others.

Think about being Aware. Begin even More so to free your Spiritual Awareness. Look for "Our" hand in the circumstances that are daily offered to you. Rarely these days, are meetings "by chance" or "accidental." When you meet with anyone, on the street, in the store, at work, wherever, consider that the Seraphim very well may have set this meeting up---the Meeting of Two Minds, the Meeting of Two Souls. Open your heart to them, open your Soul to them, Mirror the Father to them. Even perchance, try to discern Our Purpose in getting you together. Be Aware at All Times my young friends. Be aware of the Spiritual world that surrounds you and that is also Within you. It does Wonders for Attitudes.

The next time we meet will be the 7th and final of the series on preparing yourself for what is so soon to come. Study these if you will. I assure you their implementation will prepare you Indeed for Service in a big way.

*"Exercising Your Spirituality"

Solonia Greetings my beloved young students. This is your Seraphic sister Solonia and I am here for the 7th and final lesson in this series on Self Preparation. I would ask you to put these lessons together for those who may wish to "go the course."

What you are preparing for indeed is, "The Big Game," truly the Game of the Ages. If you would indeed be a "player" I would encourage you to prepare as do professional athletes when they are getting ready for their game of a lifetime. Tonight's 7th and final lesson in the series is "Exercising Your Spirituality."

I have truly enjoyed sharing these lessons with you my dear friends. I know of the sincerity and desire of many of you to be about this business of preparation. I will continue to give other lessons when you may choose to gather for them, but they will be individual lessons, and oftentimes I will teach in conjunction with other of the Teachers that you have grown to recognize and to love. It will be more of an open forum, as you have grown accustomed to in your TeaM meetings. I will be present for each of them, unless I am given a particular assignment elsewhere at the time, yet I will not always speak to you---only usually. In the future sessions, we will have also more opportunities for question and answer sessions which were not a part of our just completed preparation series.

It is a privilege for me to be able to serve in this way. It is a task that I enjoy greatly and it is one that serves my own personal growth even as it may serve yours. Goodnight my dear friends. My Love and Encouragement is with you.
