===='''''[[Patience]]'''''====
 +
Tarkas: Then let us [[proceed]]. Patience is a [[virtue]] so desired by those of you who struggle with the [[difficulties]] of life. Patient [[actions]] are those which evoke a sense of [[relationship]] between you and those you wish to [[synchronize]] your [[efforts]] with. [[Imagine]] the image of those who work as a team [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sculling gliding those beautiful boats]...[racing sculls]...used by men at [[institutions]] such as Harvard where they have teams which row [[together]]. Imagine the development of [[patience]] and [[coordination]] which comes from such an [[effort]], working with your teammates to synchronize and coordinate the efforts that you make to move with the [[water]]. Patient [[actions]] are those which develop such a sense of [[consciousness]], that your [[efforts]], [[synchronized]] with those of others, will cause the entire activity to move with more [[quality]], synchronized effort, and power of the combined [[energy]] working in unison. There is a laying aside of one's own [[agenda]], or sense of timing in this [[effort]]. You become [[conscious]] of your role as a team member. This patient sense of activity also recognizes the efforts of those around you as [[coordinated]] with you. You see their desire to [[work]] with you, not making the [[judgment]] that they are the [[adversary]], to be somehow [[conquered]] or subjugated to your own sense of [[timing]].

Now consider [[patience]] from the broader [[perspective]] of God's [[timing]]. When you allow yourself to see that the best outworking of [[events]] comes with [[guidance]] from God, then you hold lightly to your [[plan]], your [[expectations]] of how things may go. It is not an [[abandonment]] of your schedule; it is merely an open-minded [[attitude]] that perhaps alterations to your timing schedule are [[the Father]]'s, and therefore, most welcome in the events of your [[life]]. Patience requires a [[gentleness]] in your [[attitude]], a willingness to allow for [[quiet]] moments of [[contemplation]]. This gives [[opportunities]] for your [[Thought Adjuster]] to speak to you, to impress you with an expanded [[perspective]] of how you [[perceive]] events. Then there is the patience you show to yourself. This can be a great [[challenge]] at times. We can be so harsh in our [[judgment]] of our own [[efforts]]. This is not of [[God]]. The angry, insistent [[voice]] saying, "This is not enough. This fails. This is inadequate." This is not God speaking within you, T. This voice comes from [[pain]], [[rejection]], the inability to see you in your full [[capacity]].

+
Do not allow this [[voice]] to speak for you. It is indeed a spirit [[poison]] which contaminates all that it [[touches]]. Let yourself realize that [[patience]] cultivates an [[attitude]] of good [[humor]] toward yourself and others. It is the [[desire]] to see your flaws, and others', as the [[weaknesses]] that create the challenge for you and others in life. It is as if God has put these [[vulnerabilities]] into our natures with the [[intention]] of allowing us to remain [[humble]], and at the [[same time]], recognize more clearly that we all, indeed, have [[growth]] yet to accomplish in our [[ascendant careers]]. You do not [[reject]] a blossom whose petals are only partially open.

You say, "Ah, there is [[beauty]] in this flower and more beauty to come as it continues to open to the [[light]]." Take this [[attitude]] with your own closed petals, T. Say, "There is beauty here yet covered. But in time, with [[growth]], this beauty will be exposed to the [[light]]." This is an attitude of [[patience]]. If you can offer patience to the growth of a flower, [[imagine]] the quality of patience offered by [[the Father]] toward you as another of his beautiful, blooming [[creations]]! Does this hearten you to think of this example?

   −
T: Yes, it's an appropriate image and helps a great deal in trying to focus my attention on what's important concerning patience. May I ask another question?
+
Tarkas: Yes, but let me close this lesson first by saying that you can take this [[patient]] [[attitude]] of seeing all life as a [[garden]] which is slowly opening to the [[light]]. A patient attitude gives one an ability to [[appreciate]] what is in that moment! One no longer [[projects]] other [[perceptions]], forcing them upon that moment. Instead, one remains an [[observer]] of what is, seeking the [[beauty]] there. Remember, that as you strive for [[patience]], that you are seeking the beauty of that [[moment]]. Now my lesson is complete.

T: Thank you very much. That was very helpful. It's always been a [[struggle]] for me to not be [[frustrated]] by what I sometimes perceive as slow [[progress]] in myself and others or dysfunctional progress of myself and others, and this gives me some [[hope]] and [[focus]] to draw my [[attention]] to. Thank you.

Tarkas: We enjoy our [[relationship]] with you, T. You have much to offer to [[this Mission]] of [[redemption]]. And your own ability to see with patience your [[progress]] with us will open up further [[guidance]] from [[the Father]] to you as to the next effort you can make. Now, on to your question.

===='''''[[Problem Solving]]'''''====
 +
T: I'm not sure to what [[degree]] you are [[aware]] of recent [[developments]] in my life concerning my oldest son, Ty, having come to live with me, but there has been great upheaval in his life recently, and I think he's teaming with [[frustrations]], [[anxieties]], and fear about his own [[future]], [[confusion]] about what is right and wrong. He's been [[experimenting]] with [[drugs]]. He currently is struggling with tobacco smoking and other issues, and what I would like to know is...I would like to have some [[advice]] about what sort of [[leadership]] role I might be able to take that would be more effective in modeling appropriate [[behavior]], being an [[inspiration]] to him, to consider a more [[positive]] choice...to choose more positively than he has been in many areas. I realize that sometimes the struggle that we have in life must be one which is difficult and that's the way that we learn, is by [[learning]] the hard way, oftentimes, but I also think that it is my [[responsibility]] to inspire him to greater heights of [[consciousness]], and I'd like any advice you can give me on how I might better model that for him and approach those kinds of issue better than I have so far.
   −
Tarkas: We enjoy our relationship with you, T. You have much to offer to this Mission of redemption. And your own ability to see with patience your progress with us will open up further guidance from the Father to you as to the next effort you can make. Now, on to your question.
+
Tarkas: Ty has great difficulty with [[problem-solving]]. This is a [[challenge]] for him which will remain with him throughout [[life]]. You can help him by more fully [[discussing]] with him the actual [[process]] by which you yourself problem-solve. How do you [[organize]] the [[information]] that you need to [[comprehend]] something? This can be very illusive to Ty. He may see parts of the [[puzzle]], but he lacks those clues or [[strategies]] which we use to problem-solve. For instance, S is seeing the [[image]] of a picture puzzle. Did you do such puzzles as a child?

T: I'm not sure to Family Relationships advice on what degree you are aware of recent developments in my life concerning my oldest son, Ty, having come to live with me, but there has been great upheaval in his life recently, and I think he's teaming with frustrations, anxieties, and fear about his own future, confusion about what is right and wrong.

T: Yes.

Tarkas: Ty has great difficulty with problem-solving. Problem-SolvingThis is a challenge for him which will remain with him throughout life. You can help him by more fully discussing with him the actual process by which you yourself problem-solve. How do you organize the information that you need to comprehend something? This can be very illusive to Ty. He may see parts of the puzzle, but he lacks those clues or strategies which we use to problem-solve. For instance, S is seeing the image of a picture puzzle. Did you do such puzzles as a child?
+
Tarkas: Do you recall how you learned that certain pieces were the edges, the outside frame of the [[picture]], and you selected those as a first [[step]] in the formation of the [[design]]? Then again you learned to look for [[color]] combinations. "Ah, those pieces must be pieces of the same [[image]]." And those were collected to one side. These steps by which a puzzle is put together are [[good]] [[training]] for children. Do you recall that this was something that Ty was not drawn to as a child?
    
T: Yes.
 
T: Yes.

These steps by which a puzzle is put together are good training for children. Do you recall that this was something that Ty was not drawn to as a child?
+
Tarkas: Then you can see that he lacks a natural affinity toward this kind of putting a [[picture]] together. He may grasp the sense of the completed [[image]], but does not [[understand]] the [[process]] by which this image is formed. He needs, first of all, T, to understand better and with [[patience]] that this indeed is his [[nature]]. God does not create these [[challenges]] in people without a greater [[design]]. Ty lives in a [[culture]] which requires much [[problem-solving]]. The life you [[lead]] can be highly sophisticated in its [[challenges]]. Yes, it is true that Ty flounders at times because he lacks this ability to approach life with these [[skills]]. But he can learn to [[compensate]]. This, indeed, is his challenge. If God has not provided this to him easily, it does not mean that God will not provide it to him with [[effort]]. This will ennoble Ty's [[character]]. He can become one in his [[future]] career who can, indeed, be a [[guide]] to many others who struggle in this same way. There is always a [[design]] in God's [[creation]]. Let Ty see his [[weakness]] from this [[perspective]]: God is asking of him to build for himself an [[ability]] to come to solutions. There is much you can do to help Ty with this. He, indeed, lacks the [[incentive]] to work with this, struggle with this. It is as if he finds it distasteful. But you can show him the means by which he can [[develop]] this [[skill]]. He needs [[direction]] and [[encouragement]] to define a challenge more clearly. For instance, he is one who should [[literally]] write down a [[goal]] he wishes to [[achieve]], and then attempt to [[decipher]] structurally how that [[goal]] can be met. It is as if you are asking him to build a [[research]] paper, [[outline]] the [[components]], enumerate the [[steps]] by which a goal is to be achieved. To merely say to him, "Ty, Here is the goal."...for instance, acquiring a job or reaching [[financial]] self-sufficiency. He does, indeed, grasp this [[concept]], but you assume too much of his ability to understand the [[steps]] by which one achieves these goals. If you are to help him, you must spend more time literally speaking of a [[process]] step-by-step by which you would solve such a problem yourself. There are also many good [[books]] that have been written that discuss these very issues. Ty and you, not Ty alone, need to [[research]] this. [[Inquire]] at the [[library]] about [[books]] which address issues of [[problem-solving]], planning one's [[adult]] life. He needs to learn better the [[resources]] available to him to help him make these [[judgments]], handle these challenges. There can also be books that you purchase that he can refer to and literally [[study]] how one manages their [[money]], plans [[future]] [[goals]]. If he sees that there is help for him in these areas, his [[optimism]] will grow that he can take this on himself. As it is, he often feels adrift, knowing these [[goals]] are [[expected]] of him, but he is unsure what to do and scared to ask. So many times, even within the [[context]] of [[school]], he would ask a question regarding his [[confusion]] and would be told, "Ty, How can you not understand this?" He shrinks from more episodes like that because they were [[painful]]. You can help him to see that he, indeed, is someone who lives in a [[culture]] that expects a great amount in this area, and yet he simply lacks this ability naturally, and God is asking of him to develop this ability on his own. It is achievable. He needs to learn, also, a sense of [[patience]] toward himself and others, that they do not see his lack of [[ability]] in this area as [[acceptable]]. It can ennoble his [[character]]. Just as you see someone who perhaps is very short in this culture of tall people, and they carry themselves with [[pride]], they stand erect, and they do not seem to have a begrudgement toward those who look and say, "My [[goodness]], what a short person!" They take this in stride, and they say, "Yes, my [[body]] is short, but my [[potential]] is [[limitless]]." Ty can develop the same kind of [[noble]] [[acceptance]] that he needs extra time and [[attention]] in order to [[problem-solve]]. If he can learn to say with a [[smile]], a sincere smile, "Wait a minute. I can figure this out. I just need a little more time."...he will be a [[beautiful]] [[model]] of [[humility]] and honest brotherhood...because he is saying to those who would judge him, "I [[trust]] you to offer me [[respect]] with my [[difficulty]], and I appreciate this respect, my brother." Does this help you, T?'

T: Yes.

Ty lives in a culture which requires much problem-solving. The life you lead can be highly sophisticated in its challenges.

This, indeed, is his God's Purpose:for each life;challenge. If God has not provided this to him easily, it does not mean that God will not provide it to him with effort. This will ennoble Ty's character. He can become one in his future career who can, indeed, be a guide to many others who struggle in this same way. There is always a design in God's creation. Let Ty see his weakness from this perspective: God is asking of him to build for himself an ability to come to solutions. There is much you can do to help Ty with this. He, indeed, lacks the incentive to work with this, struggle with this. It is as if he finds it distasteful. But you can show him the means by which he can develop this skill.

Does this help you, T?'Melchizedek Lessonsbrought to UrantiaMelchizedeks will indeed be brought to your planet. Freewill choice still allows you much latitude in your own efforts with this campaign. We recognize that people feel they have busy lives and, indeed, many of their responsibilities are just as important as the work for this Mission. For now, it is indeed helpful that you be supportive of S in her attempts to transmit our words and then to go through the laborious effort of transcription. You need to look into your heart and decide how best to offer her this support. Again we bring you back to the lesson on patience. If you can see that in S's life and your own, the petals are not yet all opened to the light, then you can savor the beauty of the budding flower and recognize that you are in league together to help bring God's light to this planet. Is this specific enough for you now, T?

Tarkas: I would add that Ty's mother, C, has great anxiety surrounding this issue. It is why she so often has moved in to solve his problems for him. Clearly she acts out of a great love for him, but it has been an anxiety that Ty has perceived, absorbed. She can be encouraged to realize that there is a greater design to God's creation. Ty has his place, as we all do, in this plan, and that her support of him can best be provided with a confidence that if he is willing to make this effort for himself, good will come of it. She can help him by saying, "Son, make the effort. I am here encouraging you to develop this for yourself." Do you feel this is sufficient information at this time, T?

It is this ability to draw forth more guidance from the Thought Adjuster that will allow this growth to come. We are guides. We have gone before you in these challenges, but you yourselves have the power within you to heal this planet.

T: I have some [[confusion]] in my own [[mind]] about the [[nature]] of the [[purpose]] and [[effects]] of the [[Teaching Mission]] as I've perceived them so far. I hear a great deal coming from [[the teachers]] about the great [[effect]] that this work that we do will have on [[the planet]] and all the people on the planet and so forth. But I need, I guess, to have a better understanding of exactly what is the [[nature]] of the work that is and will be [[expected]] of us who are [[students]]. For example, it is my guess that our work entails coming to a better understanding of our own [[relationship]] with [[God]] so that we can more effectively and more lovingly deal with our fellow [[human being]]s, rather than to in any way [[proselytize]] others, or to try to convince others of the [[reality]] of the transmitter/receiver [[phenomenon]], or any such [[outreach]] as that. Am I correct in my [[assumption]], or can you give any further [[light]] upon the specific nature of what our mission as students is to entail?

Tarkas: In many ways your roles are [[individualized]]. You are not all to do the same work. Some will excel in [[personal]] ministry, others will [[facilitate]] the [[dissemination]] of the teachings through the [[transcript]] publications and other forms of publicized forms of instruction. Some will become quite proficient in the [[transmitting/reception]] of our [[words]], and further [[methods]] of outreach and [[dissemination]] of our teachings will occur. The [[healing]] work is an important component of [[this Mission]], yet its time has not yet arrived. It is building in [[magnitude]]. Each of you needs to remain [[connected]] with your heartfelt [[desires]] in this work. We do not ask [[sacrifice]] of you. We ask for [[commitment]] and [[loyalty]] to the [[integrity]] of [[our Mission]]. You must show [[forbearance]] in your [[attitude]] regarding this work. It will indeed take time and [[effort]] to affect large numbers of people, but it is developing very strong legs on which to stand. We have no [[doubt]] that our work will be successful.
