Changes

 

 

 

 

Dear Michael and Mother Spirit, Another Monday evening has rolled around and here we are once again, tickled and happy in anticipation of Your presence. As we read and reread these lessons You have for us, bit by bit we become incrementally more aware of, and more appreciative of the larger dimensions of this marvelous life we were born into. We thank You for showing us these doors and inviting us to open them. Amen.

Michael: Good evening, My sons. This is Michael. What a wonderful time this is on Urantia. There is a carol celebrating My birthday, which goes, "The hopes and fears of all the years are met in Thee tonight." For it was so - to start something going that, even though it would seem - from a human perspective - that not much was really happening in the totality of not only Urantia but throughout the whole system of Satania, the spiritual forces that were set in motion began to swell immediately. In spite of what you sometimes think of as The Dark Ages, which you are slowly beginning to understand were not so dark after all, these spiritual forces that I set in motion have been swelling enormously ever since.

For it was so - to start something going that, even though it would seem - from a human perspective - that not much was really happening in the totality of not only Urantia but throughout the whole system of [[Satania]], the spiritual forces that were set in motion began to swell immediately. In spite of what you sometimes think of as The Dark Ages, which you are slowly beginning to understand were not so dark after all, these spiritual forces that I set in motion have been swelling enormously ever since.

 

This is part of the reason that the Urantia Book was given to humankind - not so much to offer something entirely new, but as a summation of normal spiritual development ordained before the creation of this planet. So when you get down to studying your own social evolution through the growth of families into tribes, into states, and finally into the present-day nations you have about you, you can have some appreciation of all the stages of growth that every evolutionary planet must go through as it goes from the single cells of life planted by the Life Carriers, to the someday future of a planet settled in Life and Light.

There are no gaps in this sequence of events. Every stage must be there. While you had a spiritual development such as I inaugurated on this planet, at the same time you had the ongoing political and social evolution to ever larger units. And as you students of history know full well, this evolution was attended by ever larger means of, and participation in warfare. Quite simply, the battles got larger right up to what you call the Second World War, where tens of millions suffered and died or were grievously and permanently wounded.

If you have any questions, this evening, I am always glad to answer you.

Student: Thank You once more again, Father. I don’t have any questions, just a heartfelt - Thank You - for all You do for us, and for me, and for actually being involved in this Correcting Time and this Teaching Mission. It’s still somewhat amazing to me that this is actually going on. Thank You again.

Michael: Well, My son, again I must caution you about these generalities because very few people actually live there. You would be surprised how many people, all through history, have wondered about these very things you are concerned with. So don’t feel alone in this.. This is something that – true enough, in different degrees of consciousness – as I mentioned to V, everybody has their philosophy of life that they are working on, because there is a need for this as much as for good food. This is an aspect of sanity, of feeling you are living a life that makes sense. Much of mental illness is a loss of this very thing. As I have invited you to see yourselves as complete, and see each other as complete, moment to moment, perhaps your challenge now is to look around you and see how much everyone is struggling to understand what is happening to them. The casualties are those who have given up, those who have settled back in their bubble of familiarity and are no longer striving to reevaluate their lives, and so, tragically, aging so prematurely because of it. Do your best to encourage those around you, to never fear to be the philosopher of the group. Welcome others into this state of question, to be invigorated by it. And be in My peace.
