Prayer: [Mark] Thank you [[Divine]] [[Parents]] for this [[universal]] principle, this [[truth]], that if we would but seek, we will find. We [[witness]] this has been the [[truth]], this is the [[beauty]], this [[represents]] the [[goodness]] in our [[experience]] and once again we come to you in pursuit of your [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_56_-_Universal_Unity#56:10._TRUTH.2C_BEAUTY.2C_AND_GOODNESS truth, goodness, and beauty]. I would make [[formal]] my [[awareness]] and petition that my [[Thought Adjuster|Inner Voice]] be given latitude at this time to come to full [[expression]] in this forum. It is my will that this is so. It is my [[desire]] to be pleasing to [[the Father]]. It is my [[purpose]] to [[act]] in [[faith]] that what I do pleases the Father. Let it be so.

Voice Within: [Mark] I am [[privileged]] once again to be afforded the [[opportunity]] to greet you in this [[unique]] [[circumstance]]. I identify myself by the term used by my [[Partnership|companion]] of his Voice Within. I [[witness]] with all of you present here today, the [[gradual]] but [[purposeful]] directing of the [[will]] to the [[exploration]] and [[experience]] of [[spirit]]. I witness with you today how easy a stroll it may be to go from casual [[conversation]] and light hearted exchange, step by step, deeper into the realm of spiritual contact and [[awareness]]. It is not, as we have just [[evidenced]], a [[difficult]] [[process]], nor a lengthy one, nor even a specific one of any kind but rather as we have just seen, it is a willful one and one done with [[intention]] and [[Guidance|direction]].

Such is the case with all that you may [[perceive]] in your lives. The steps and the [[processes]] are [[simple]], [[gradual]], even easy, but the [[choosing]] of and taking a certain direction is what is required to [[access]] the steps and traverse the distance [[necessary]] to go down the path of [[expression]] of not only the [[thought]] or even the [[word]], but the deed, all so seamless, [[normal]], and [[natural]]. The principle as we have stated before of [[thought]], [[word]], and [[deed]] is so basic and simple and yet with applied [[intention]] becomes so very [[meaningful]] and [[powerful]].

I consider my [[participation]] in this forum to be a great gift granted; as was mentioned by my [[associate]], a gift granted to his Father, to his Divine Parents, this willingness to [[accommodate]] this [[process]], this [[desire]] to be pleasing, this readiness to extend in [[uncertainty]] and be okay with un-knowingness. This [[represents]] a great gift because what is given is the [[choice]] to [[proceed]] down this path. All the steps then may be made [[apparent]] and may be taken as they are chosen. But without the [[express]] [[desire]] to travel in this direction, the steps are uncertain and the direction may be undetermined.

This is what is so important about how you direct your [[intention]] and how you [[express]] your [[purpose]], by choosing to proceed in a given direction, perhaps even directed by your [[spiritual]] [[compass]]. You then put into [[motion]] a grand [[pattern]] which stretches before you and provides you with the  means to get from where you currently reside into the [[reality]] of your [[ideals]]. You see, there is not a [[difficult]] route between anywhere you perceive yourself to be and that distant place that you can see yourself being. It is a [[simple]] matter of taking the [[necessary]] steps in between but the important [[thing]] is to set out upon this [[journey]] and to choose to take the routes which arise before you in [[response]] to the [[desires]] of your [[heart]].

In [[respect]] for the [[value]] of this forum, I would limit my comments to those offered here and open up the forum for the [[expression]] of others who are so [[spirit]] led to join. I stand in [[humble]] [[appreciation]] for this opportunity each time it is granted. Thank you and farewell.

Henry: This is Henry this evening with something in the same vein of where Mark left off. I actually was using the quote several times this weekend where in the [[Thought Adjuster]] papers [[Urantia Book]] it says: "[[Uncertainty]] with [[security]] is the [[essence]] of the [[Paradise]] [[adventure]].[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_111#111:7._THE_ADJUSTER.27S_PROBLEM] It seems like this has been a [[paradigm]] for my life lately, that many [[things]] are uncertain, for example when we ask something of [[the Father]], we're uncertain as to when we will get a [[response]] and we are unclear and uncertain as to how that response will be made to us yet there is a tremendous [[certainty]] associated with [[faith]], and [[trusting]] that the answer will come in a [[Timing|timely]] [[manner]] and in a way in which we can [[perceive]] it.

So [[the Father]]'s [[timing]] is an [[uncertainty]]. In a similar [[manner]], our [[response]] to [[spirit]] is definitely an uncertainty in terms of how we are not 100% [[connected]] yet; we're not in that living stream of total connectedness with spirit which at some point will be a much greater [[actuality]] I [[think]]. I perceive that [[Christ]] was in this living stream with His Father on a continual basis and I know that I certainly strive for this. Then I notice there are times when I am reintroducing the [[connection]] into my [[mind]] on a continual basis. So that is telling me that I am periodically [[connected]], not fully connected in terms of all the time.

So I will go into this [[connection]] willingly, trustingly, and faithfully to bring an aspect of my [[Thought Adjuster|Inner Presence]] to bear within my [[mind]].

====''[[Presence]]''====

Inner Presence: This evening is a [[connection]] for all of you in my [[time]] and in the [[reference]] of my [[spirit]] in each of you this evening that we bear [[witness]] within your present [[consciousness]] of our [[actuality]] and being-ness. It is an interesting thing to have me explain myself for I Am and you are becoming. In this [[reference]] I speak to the continuing [[relationship]] with the [[mortal]] [[mind]], the [[mortal]] [[consciousness]], [[human]] [[faith]], human [[trust]], human endeavor and the pattern of [[purpose]] which I am constantly revealing like a reverberation.

On a world such as you live and I Am, there is a concerted [[effort]] by all [[Adjusters]] to [[coordinate]] an outworking of each and every one of you. We are the [[mechanism]] of full [[integration]]. Often it is [[difficult]] for the [[human]] to step aside, to slow down, to have not as much [[assumption]] and [[expectation]] but to have an open willingness to listen and [[perceive]], to perceive life, to perceive spiritual [[love]] and it's many [[characteristics]] as they [[unfold]] within human life and to begin to perceive something in the background which is attempting to [[coordinate]] and [[integrate]] the [[self]] within your [[mind]], within your life, within the social [[fabric]] of your [[society]]. In all of this, each and every one of you must find the way yourself, the path which leads within, the path which leads to the greater kingdom wiithin.

This can be talked about but it must be pursued willfully through [[human]] [[consciousness]] and through human endeavor, willful endeavor, to attempt to [[perceive]] [[reality]] correctly and to [[act]] upon it. It is very interesting, it is like you are on the [[surface]] of a [[sphere]] and you are attempting to [[access]] its inside. It doesn't matter where on the exterior of the [[sphere]] you penetrate it, it will always lead within, to the [[center]]. So there are no rules, only [[guideline]] [[reference]]s which you are to use to [[access]] my actual [[presence]], my inner working within your mind, and your [[ability]] to perceive to get [[confirmation]] of my actuality within.

I truly [[desire]] to facilitate each and every one of you to the fullest and when you seemingly request something and are not [[perceiving]] that you are receiving it, it is because it is outworking in a [[different]] level than which you are attempting to receive it. When it is [[necessary]] to outwork on the level on which you are at you will get [[confirmation]] and you will receive. But it is I, with [[access]] to your large and [[perfect]] picture where I place these requests. Always it is necessary to attempt to try to [[understand]], to try to perceive. It matters not whether your perception is right or wrong, correct or incorrect, perceived or not, because if you perceive incorrectly you will also become aware of your misconceptions and therefore necessarily make adjustments so that the next time you perceive correctly. As you begin to perceive correctly, more can be [[revealed]] to you.

So in this [[moment]] of now, I reside and await your [[attention]] and your [[[persistence]]] and each of you who will leave here this evening will take a little greater [[understanding]] with you to [[work]] on and digest during the week as my [[words]] will continually reverberate within your [[mind]] at [[different]] times. Go in [[peace]], go in earnest and willful [[knowledge]] of my [[reality]], my [[presence]], and my [[love]] for each and every one of you. Thank you this evening.
