These [[cataclysms]] of [[time]]; these are the [[things]] with which you have grown familiar, for over the span of your lifetimes, you have incorporated more [[change]] than could be [[imagined]] by many that preceded you, and as well, many of those who will succeed you. For this [[transition]] [[phase]] is just that. It is a time of [[creative]] destruction when those [[things]] that no longer serve are falling away. And yet, here you are, standing firm in [[faith]] amidst all of the uncertainties, as [[confident]] as your [[faith]] will afford, knowing that you are being [[supported]] by many others. And so, we can only ask and [[confidently]] [[trust]] that you will likewise extend this sense of [[support]], this sense of [[compassion]] and [[understanding]], whereas without such, the harshness of apparent [[cruelty]] is only exacerbated. But what a great [[ministry]] for [[individuals]] to '''''be''''' a source of [[encouragement]] and upliftment, to extend this [[effort]] that has been ongoing for some time to lift you and your fellows up in [[spirit]] so as to be able to tread the [[turbulent]] [[water]]s through which we pass. These are the [[emblems]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_40_-_The_Ascending_Sons_of_God#40:5._MORTALS_OF_TIME_AND_SPACE children of God], and these are the [[fruits of the spirit]] that are the [[treasures]] of life. It is incumbent upon each of us to [[nurture]] these, to foster them wherever we can, under any [[circumstance]].

And so, where there is [[fear]], let us cultivate the [[confidence]] of [[faith]], and where there is [[injury]] such as you have [[absorbed]] yourselves in your [[personal]] lives, in your workplaces, we can acknowledge the [[reality]] that we are absorbing and [[sharing]] it with [[the Father|Father]] knowing it is absorbed in his vast [[resources]] of limitless [[love]]. It is this [[treasure]] that your world is seeking amidst the [[turbulence]]. It is this treasure of [[character]], this [[presence]] of [[mind]] that is what makes the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_40_-_The_Ascending_Sons_of_God#40:5._MORTALS_OF_TIME_AND_SPACE children of God] so valuable in this [[moment]]. In every workstation upon every location throughout [[Urantia|your world]], this is what will lift the world and will [[lead]] the way.

For as I mentioned in our [[2011-07-20-Monmacion|last session]], as these bridges so called are [[Fire|burning]] all around you, what will be left standing are those of you who stand upon the [[foundation]] of [[faith]]. No; not a [[faith]] that is just [[blind]] acquiescence to some [[tradition]] or some notion of [[convention]] or [[culture]], or of any [[religion]]. It is the [[actual]] [[source]] of [[religion]] as it is [[understood]] in your world. You [[exhibit]] this [[quality]] in your [[confidence]], and should you fall short, should you find yourselves extended beyond your [[capacity]], you know where the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_reserve reserve] is to be found, and you know the [[practice]] of returning to this [[space]] where such reserves are without [[limit]].
