===Opening===
I am ABRAHAM. Greetings.
===Lesson===
I am familiar with this time of year [[being]] about the [[birth]] of [[Jesus]] on the [[planet]]. We can all see how [[commercialism]] is taking over. This time of year has shown itself to be about [[materialism]] and I do say that is a [[good]] [[thing]]. It is a step up in [[evolutionary]] [[thinking]]. In the breakdown of various [[traditions]] we can see that what is in the [[hearts]] and [[minds]] of men is more important than [[words]] on paper or repeated traditions.
Why is it at this time of year that goodwill is supposed to be more prevalent than any other time of the year? As the [[Urantia]]n [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_111#111:1._THE_MIND_ARENA_OF_CHOICE mortal mind] evolves we will probably see the worst that [[mankind]] has to offer, which will instigate the [[good]] within. There are various [[phases]] throughout [[history]] that have shown mankind to struggle between embracing the [[animal]] within or likening itself to [[God-consciousness|higher-mindedness]].
I am saying that on a [[normal]] [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_49 evolutionary planet] that these [[events]] are most likely to occur. When [[individuals]] have [[faith]], the bitter cup of mortal living is more understandable. When difficult times rain down upon mortals and they [[embrace]] [[faith]] instead of animal [[instinct]], then is there advancement in [[mind]], not just in the mind of mortals, but also in the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_16#16:6._THE_COSMIC_MIND cosmic mind] and the [[Supreme Being]].
We can view the world in a pitiful state—[[wars]], [[Catastrophism|natural disasters]], unjust [[governments]], and be saddened or we can [[embrace]] [[faith]] and know that these terrible occurrences are [[natural]] on an [[evolutionary world]] and better [[things]] are to come. Just like the [[Christmas]] season being about [[materialism]], man is becoming worn out and is searching for something more meaningful. This is [[good]]. Man does not have to [[embrace]] a baby in a manger but [[ponder]] [[God]]’s [[presence]] as the [[ultimate]] caretaker of the [[Universe]].
In the past year many of you have [[suffered]] some [[pain]], some loss and I am saying if you would [[desire]] to have [[understanding]] and advancement therefrom, it is wholly possible. We must stand firm in our [[faith]] -- not in [[tradition]], but in our [[personal]] [[relationship]] with [[the Father]] and the subsequent caretakers, [[Michael]] and [[Nebadonia|Mother]].
As your calendar moves you into a new year, let us go boldly into it with [[renewed]] [[faith]] and coping [[skills]] that will help us to [[embrace]] life as it is and know it can and will be better. I am happy to see each of you making a [[change]] that says you care not what people think,. You know who you are and you are with the [[freedom]] to be that [[person]]. You are [[logical]], [[loving]] and always open to learning new ways. I am with [[gratitude]] to know each of you.
===Closing===
That is all for this evening. I do believe next time we will take any questions you might have. [[Mary]] sends her regards. I am also relaying to you my abiding [[love]]. Go in [[peace]]. Until next time, [[shalom]].
