====''[[Conviction]]''====
Dr. Mendoza: [Mark] Indeed, I am here and many times from my [[perspective]] it seems as though all of you need no assistance in your [[discussion]] to render aid and assistance to each other and ably provide proper perspective to illuminate more of any given equation. There was a question submitted as to the relative effectiveness of ones [[knowledge]] or perhaps conviction of their impact in the equation. I will put it to you this way, there are three stages that you will [[transcend]] in all spiritual [[processes]]:

:1. The stage of [[ignorance]] where you are totally unaware and in this stage, oftentimes new [[information]] is regarded as suspect or threatening and so oftentimes a [[reaction]] to stage one is to [[reject]] or not allow in suspect information.
:2. Stage two, becoming more [[enlightened]] in your position is a stage where you will coexist side by side with alternate [[perspectives]] and views and realities, realizing that they have equal right to exist.
:3. Stage three is [[acceptance]] and moving forward as one.

All of your spiritual encounters will have to go through this process of screening that you have internally and it is no different with your acts of [[healing]] that you refer to. You are [[fledgling]] [[spirit]] beings in some sense but on this scale, viewing yourself in [[relationship]] to this particular activity, you have moved beyond the more rudimentary stages and now may be considered in the stage which enables you to not only [[embrace]] and appreciate your relationship to your spiritual dimension, but then proceed to maximize your effectiveness.

This distinction is the one you refer to when trying to make your [[observation]] about effectiveness. The devoted yogi master who has complete [[conviction]], may merely act on his conviction and in adherence with universe [[principles]] to [[manifest]] easily, whereas the individual still grappling with their relationship to spirit, the [[certainty]] of spiritual [[truths]] or the lack of evidence provided, where there are resident [[doubts]], they will impact the equation but nevertheless, they are exceedingly powerful when generated from the individual perspective of spirit.

[[Imagine]] if you will, the difference between the [[teachers]] at the school easily making the right [[decisions]] and the kindergartners who are their charge at the same school and what it means for them to make the right decisions. In such [[ignorance]] as they are, they cannot be made accountable for having any [[wisdom]]. So when they make a decision for [[truth, beauty or goodness]] it may be seen as exceedingly special. So there you are with perhaps a foot in each realm and your [[desire]] to function in alliance with [[divine]] principles is seen as indeed special and carries with it its own special significance.

And so, as you have heard before, all acts of [[love]] committed are treasured, are fostered and promoted and it is true that when you act in such a fashion, the ripples proceed out before you and they do matter, and it is significant and it does help the [[balance]] of [[the universe]] which is in play. For now you must summon much [[faith]] to hear these words and take them in. At a later point in your [[journey]], these truths will be self evident. This is what is special about this [[kindergarten]] experience here on [[Urantia]]. So many things are unique to this scenario and this applying of faith is perhaps the greatest of all treasures to be found and applied here on Urantia. You ask what good these acts may do abroad and I would hold up a [[mirror]] for you and say: the act of performing these acts has already done good for you. You have already grown as a result, [[goodness]] has already been accomplished. I hope this adds to the perspective of the many dimensions in play.

So now with your permission my [[comrades]], let us join in an exercise of the day. Let us create [[goodness]] right here and right now, among us and between us and as we so [[desire]], abroad for the benefit of others. Let us appreciate this connection [[together]]. Let us join for the common good and the common cause of participating in this divine exercise. Let us invite the many observing participants as well as our onboard spirit guides and apply the [[Thought Adjuster]] circuit as well, over us.

Let us make our desire be known that we would project out from this point of goodness, from this point of [[grace]] that we all witness and support. Let us project this goodness and grace out and bounce it off the [[heavens]] to wherever there is a low point in human [[experience]]. Let us see this as bringing the needed 'rain' and showering these [[individuals]] with the grace of love from on high that we would add to, that we would facilitate because it is our [[intention]] and desire to do so, even now. May we act in faith and with [[trust]] in the [[certainty]] that we have joined together in this commitment in spirit. Let us [[breathe]] deeply of this [[truth]] that we would uphold. Help us to secure this space. Join us in our intention of goodness that we would project out and about and let us each drink of this cup before us as it is so freely offered.

Thank you for the spirit [[opportunity]] this provides for those of us assembled, for those who are assisting in this [[process]] and for those who may be [[touched]] by our sincere intentions for their well being. Help them to feel a little stronger your love Divine Parents, a little more of your grace and peace because we have joined you. Let it be so. Quite simple really, just simply applying all that we know and have learned and have [[conviction]] about in our process and when we bring these powerful potent factors to the table, they may be assembled and utilized. Thank you all for bringing your potent [[self]] to the equation and for lending your spiritual support as we tackle these healing and growth promoting processes.
====''[[Attunement]]''====
Jonathan: [Mark] Hello to all my friends, I am Jonathan. I will take advantage of this 'open mike' to bring in a concept for your [[consideration]]. There has been much discussion of the changing of times and the [[spiritual pressure]]s and [[universe broadcasts]] and frequencies being made available. I invite you to consider that with the [[advent]] of so many new frequencies, it is possible for us to get together on one right here and right now. It is also possible for you to take in another which bombards you with images of mankind's distasteful side. It is going to become exceedingly important for this [[generation]] to make wise [[choices]] about what it is that is allowed to come in as signals into your [[experience]]. It's [[ironic]] that the age of 'tuning in' might not mean the same thing to everyone, that those who would like to tune in to spirit will certainly benefit from choosing those [[frequencies]] while others may fall to tuning in to being bombarded continuously by all manner of [[evil]].

The choosing is a [[simple]] switch all of you may use, the same [[method]] to choose either, but for many, the influence and draw of drama will catch their [[attention]] and capture their choice. This is why it will be everlastingly important to maintain the choosing of the spirit [[frequencies]] by relying on the act of [[stillness]] and then choosing that frequency will be an active choice. So it is good to be mindful of all the frequencies out there available, to be mindful now of that which is treasured between us and there are innumerable others out there which may be chosen or forsaken. Guard against too much space being given to all that exists out there in favor of a more controlled environment. Remember, [[your mind]] is not a junkyard, your mind is a [[garden]] which should be tended, weeded, fertilized, planted and cared for. Be careful what you bring into this garden. Not everything yields good fruit.

I appreciate the [[opportunity]] to join you again today. My [[thoughts]] and [[attention]] are with you in such times. Thanks for lettings me in, talk to you later, bye.
====''[[Conviction]]''====
Charles: [Mark] Greetings, I am Charles, I would throw in one more thing for your [[consideration]]. Consider if you will that your [[conviction]] that you refer to may also be seen through the [[lens]] of another term that is floated around, that is [[surrender]]. One who has complete conviction is in fact surrendering to the way it is, surrendering to the [[truth]], surrendering to [[divine]] [[principles]], surrendering to their very nature and the nature of [[divinity]], that this conviction enables one to surrender is what is so notable about conviction. It brings with it the [[certainty]] to let go, the certainty there will be a next [[step]], the certainty to [[trust]] in divine order and so when you think of bringing conviction to an equation, maybe think in terms of the conviction to allow, the conviction to [[participate]] with the divine order. This may be helpful and useful in your consideration of how much of these factors are needed to be effective.

Always a [[pleasure]] to step in and make my [[presence]] known in such a group as this. Although I may not always interject, I am always observing and keenly interested in the goings on of this I consider, my group as well. Thank you for allowing.
===Closing===
Light: [Cathy] I appreciate the [[commitment]] to move forward in these light [[exercises]]. It is most valuable as seen from my perspective. Your [[action]] has helped in my [[growth]] and development. I owe much to you and love you.

Prayer: [Mary] Father of all, continue to [[guide]] us please. Help us as we go about our days. Help us to see new ways that we can show our [[desire]] [[Doing the will of God|to do Your will]]. Help us to see [[opportunities]] that come before us because of our desire to help, to contribute to Your will being [[manifested]] on [[this planet]], amen.

Michael: [Cathy] I am the [[Light of the World]]. You are my most cherished children and helpers. Stand tall in your own [[light]]. Share light with this world. Step out in [[faith]]. Be [[assured]] that you are surrounded by help and love. Together we bring [[change]] to the [[darkness]]. Let the light stream forth. Bring [[truth, beauty and goodness]].
