Changes

In [[learning]] the [[meaning]] of [[worship]] you'll find that Father continually reveals Himself to you. Do you see in your [[desire]] to be self-forgetful, and to be worshipful, you are requesting to know your Father more? And He does indeed [[reveal]] a little more each time you step aside to [[practice]] self-forgetfulness. I am indeed moved by your excellent [[participation]] in this [[exercise]]. I would request that you continue to practice again next week. I will take a few [[questions]].

MIRIAM: Abraham, I have two. One is really quick. For the Teaching Mission Conference, what do you think of the [[logo]] of, Good News, The Brotherhood in Action?

ABRAHAM: Although it matters not my [[opinion]], I like it. It says a great deal about the [[goals]] of the [[Conference]]. Another question?

MIRIAM: Could you give me some [[guidance]], or I don't know if you need to ask Manfred, if I've been on task this week with my [[exercise]] for self-[[acceptance]], or am I going in the right [[direction]]?

MIRIAM: Could you give me some [[guidance]], or I don't know if you need to ask Manfred, if I've been on task this week with my [[exercise]] for self-[[acceptance]], or am I going in the right [[direction]]?

ABRAHAM: I am aware that you are proceeding as planned. We are [[happy]] to see this [[progress]], and yet we feel a bit concerned for your [[heath]]. I am told that you are needing to [[rest]] and [[relax]] a bit to maintain good mental, spiritual, and physical [[balance]]. New [[discoveries]] can be thrilling, and yet overwhelming. A balance is needed to insure a steady [[progression]] versus an unstable beginning. An unstable beginning could tend to make one withdraw or give up. [[Proceed]] as planned, but continue to find [[rest]] and [[relaxation]]. Continue to lean toward the [[humorous]] side. Another question?

CALVIN: Abraham, in short, before time runs out, for Kamille who is quite distraught and her friends [[husband]] and baby's situation, which I am sure you are aware of. Kamille just asked if I would ask if you have any words that would be of help to them. They have a very 'why is God doing this to us' [[feeling]], and 'there can't be a God in this,' and so on. A lot of people we all know have gone through it, but till you go through it personally I guess we don't feel the [[impact]].

ABRAHAM: The [[stages]] of [[death]] are [[difficult]], and yet [[necessary]] for each and every mortal to [[experience]]. There are no [[words]] that could bring [[comfort]] to ease this sort of [[pain]]. I am able although to speak to Celene about her personal ministry to her friends. My daughter, Father has well [[prepared]] you to [[assist]] your friends in ushering their child from this world to a new life. You know within that your Father speaks for you. You are fully capable of finding those words that would [[comfort]] your friends. I would [[admonish]] you to lean towards your [[spiritual]] [[instincts]] at this time to guard against your own [[fear]] for your own child. Worry not. You are a person of great spiritual [[energy]] that can bring [[focus]] to clouded [[vision]]. Stand aside and watch your Father work. You will truly be amazed. You will be the one to bring [[comfort]] to your friends at this time. Another question?

ROLAND: Abraham, I have been [[reading]] excerpts from the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnostic_Gospels Gnostic Gospels], found in upper Egypt in 1945, and [[translated]] wherein the [[relationship]] between [[Jesus]] and [[Mary Magdalene]] was depicted as one that she was a very close [[disciple]] of the inner circle, who had received special or higher instructions perhaps than the rest of [[the apostles]]. She was a woman who was referred to as one who spoke knowing the "All." Can you give us an [[insight]] beyond what kind of [[relationship]] that was a true depiction of Mary's role with [[Jesus]]?

She was a woman who was referred to as one who spoke knowing the "All." Can you give us an [[insight]] beyond what kind of [[relationship]] that was a true depiction of Mary's role with [[Jesus]]?

ABRAHAM: I can. [[Mary Magdalene]] was an [[average]] [[mortal]] living the average mortal life. Through her [[participation]] in the teachings of [[Jesus]] her [[faith]] was the most notable thing about her. Without [[doubt]] or question, Mary would easily remove her own [[hearts]] [[desire]] to promote [[the Master]]'s teachings. She was a [[faithful]] [[student]]. I cannot say she was more than this, or had some special [[insight]]. I can [[confirm]] though that Mary was a most likely [[candidate]] for the [[189:4|morontial Jesus]] to appear to. She was [[receptive]] and easily recovered from the [[shock]] of her realization that it was the Master who spoke to her by the [[tomb]]. The delivery of the message that the Master had risen was to be given to the [[apostles]] by her to reduce the shock the [[apostles]] would have [[experienced]]. They were in great [[confusion]] and despair, and an immediate [[visitation]] by the Master would have created much [[fear]], and possible damage to their [[mental]] and [[emotional]] well-being. It is well known that Mary was somewhat [[experienced]] in life's matters, and could indeed receive such good news without mental or emotional upheaval. Although the credibility of her [[testimony]] was questioned, her job was done, and done well. Yes, it can be said of each of life's [[participants]] that there is indeed a [[goodness]] about them, but I cannot say that one is any more than another. Do you see? Is this answering?

ROLAND: Yes. It gives me great [[visual]] [[picture]] of her role. Thank you. I have a [[personal]] [[question]]. I am having a hard time [[journaling]]. I think one of the excuses that I have is that I recognize that most of us are attended by [[Midwayers]] who are recording this early [[Teaching Mission]] history. As a matter of fact there are a segment of angels of history, called ''Angels of Dramatic History'', that go before to arrange [[opportunities]] for us to be involved in a dramatic [[process]] which will be retellable. I guess there is two questions in there. Am I on track with the [[Midwayers]] and the Angels of historic drama, and how do I get over [[thinking]] somebody else is [[writing]] this down--so I don't need to?

ABRAHAM: I would first say that [[journaling]] is for you and your personal lessons. It is a way to [[receive]] spiritual help through this form of [[transmitting]]. Yes, you are [[understanding]] of this [[process]]. I can say that these moments in history are being recorded, and will be used to [[assist]] others in the [[future]]. This is the most I can comment on. I am limited in what I can say on this particular subject so as to not [[interfere]] with the out workings of Father's plan. Does this answer? (Yes it does very well. Thank you.)
