Changes

Yet unless one lets go their craving [[ambition]] completely and then discovers they survive the [[event]], how else are they to discover that they are already complete?  Unless something new is allowed to come into their [[Inner Life|inner world]], they’re only going around in the same-old, same-old [[circle]]s and actually starving their [[souls]] of the very completeness that is their birthright to discover.  This is why it takes [[patience]] and [[courage]] to let a hyper-conscious [[stillness]] come into being, for your complete personhood, my children, the totality of yourself, though always real to us, is only [[potential]] to your self-aware experiential self--you.  It does little [[good]] for some religious [[dogma]] to tell you how complete you are if you yourself cannot experience it.  This is what we offer you, a way of testing out what we say.  One of the greatest gifts we can give you, my children, is a way for you to [[discover]] and fulfill yourselves with all you are, a way for you to access your own soul, your own [[higher consciousness]], and your own creative spirit independent of the past.

Michael spent much of his last lesson trying to give you a feeling for how you are constantly creating, if mostly unconsciously, your own [[interpretation]] of the [[reality]] around and within you.  Now you need to let go some of the [[busyness]] in your normal [http://www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi2734358809/ waking life], if only for twenty minutes or so, to be still and experience what your incessant [[creativity]] is doing.  Look around: feel within.  This is how you access the [[encompassing]] and [[transcendent]] truth of all you are always doing, for this realization is something you will be engaged in for all [[eternity]].  Why not start now?  Have [[faith]] that you are all this full personhood and [[consciousness]] we’ve offered for your [[understanding]] and [[wisdom]].  Have the [[courage]] to let go your habitual need to be entertained.  Just be still and see what happens.  We’ll be right in here pulling with you, so be still that you can feel our [[presence]] too.

NEBADONIA:  If you’ve read the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=The_Urantia_Text_-_Contents#Part_IV._The_Life_and_Teachings_of_Jesus Urantia book’s version of Jesus’ life], you know what a stumbling block this was for his [[apostles]].  Even at the time of the [Paper 179 - The Last Supper last supper] they were still arguing about who was to be in what position in the kingdom, in spite of the fact he had told them over and over again that the kingdom was [[Inner Life|within]].  Tonight I hoped to give you at least one or two of the many keys to this kingdom, this total personhood that you are, [[sharing]] your life with us.

You need not always be self-aware to be in this kingdom.  This is the [[wonder]] and the reward of self-forgetfulness, that you can go for a long time being highly conscious and experiencing other things, other people, without being in the picture--so to speak.  The kingdom within continues to [[grow]], sometimes, as Michael noted, even more fully for your not standing in your own [[light]].  You’ve suspended your [[Self Evaluation|self-centered evaluation]] of how things are affecting only you to really [[touch]] and mingle with your fellows; and now you have a fuller [[reality]] of them in your [[soul]].
