====AIDS====

Q: Sometime back Prince [[Machiventa]] said the [[AIDS]] [[virus]] was brought about by [[Caligastia]], and that the [[Life Carriers]] had not - at that time - been able to break the [[code]]. Later on I [[understand]] you to have said that there had been a major breakthrough by the [[Life Carriers]], and they were seeking [[humans]] to [[reveal]] this break through to. My question is, have they found the human [[doctors]] through whom to reveal this breakthrough? What is the [[status]] of the [[progress]] on [[AIDS]]?

A: Some [[humans]] have been tasked for this, however the [[process]] of [[transmitting]] [[thoughts]] is a convoluted one. And the [[Life Carriers]] cannot directly [[communicate]] with the [[humans]], so must go through - I hesitate to reveal too much but - it is a process of downstepping [[information]] that ultimately will be transmitted to the humans through [[Secondary Midwayers]] and [[mind adjutant spirits]] of Wisdom and others of - it will not appear [[magically]] [[written]] on their desks, (S), but is a [[process]] that is [[fallible]]. And in any case one must deal with the [[human]] [[ego]] which goes off on [[tangents]] even when pushed in the correct direction. The [[process]] has begun. How long, we cannot estimate. But we are [[assuring]] you that we are committed to imparting the [[information]] in as [[pure]] and speedily as we can.

Q: But the breakthrough exists, is that correct?

Q: But the breakthrough exists, is that correct?

A: That is correct.

A: That is correct.

Q: When the message was given to us that Caligastia had designed aids, the phrase "and other diseases" was there.

Q: When the [[message]] was given to us that [[Caligastia]] had designed [[AIDS]], the phrase "and other diseases" was there.

A: Correct.

A: Correct.

Q: Is the new strain of tuberculosis one of the other diseases?

Q: Is the new strain of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuberculosis#Epidemiology tuberculosis] one of the other [[diseases]]?

A: Absolutely correct.

A: Absolutely correct.

Q: Does this mean that we should all be vaccinated against tuberculosis? There is a general tuberculosis vaccine called BCG that's given to many persons in underdeveloped countries. It’s been my intuitive feeling that I should get it for myself, my family and my friends.

A: No, no potential harm. Yes, it is quite helpful. But even more helpful is to try to enlighten one's fellows that death is not tragic but the culmination spiritually of one's life and the beginning of potential eternity. That really is the job at hand, not only improving years and quality of life and acceptance of terminal illness and will to go on, but what going on really means. Putting physical death in perspective, (S), is one of your assignments.

Q: Often I've found that people seem receptive to this kind of talk, but even when they don't seem receptive I still do it. I haven't been doing it very long, but I always have a sense that it sinks in somehow, that it resonates against - I guess - the Adjuster…

A: You should be vaccinated, however this [[mutated]] strain - this will help you to [[resist]], but will not be total [[protection]] as the mutated strain is [[fatal]].

Q: Should I obtain [[vaccine]] for members of the [[group]] who wish to be vaccinated?

Q: (Students) and I have been independently and together pursuing some information about herbs that boost the immune system, and we were wondering if it were appropriate for us to continue our line of inquiry - it seems to take us on a kind of a tortuous journey. Any comments you have would be welcome.

Q: RAYSON, since this lesson is going to go out to many, many persons who are not in this [[group]]. I'd like to ask a question about [[diseases]], not only [[AIDS]] but other incurable [[diseases]] rampant in our [[society]], such as the various [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancer cancers], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepatitis hepatitis], some other situations. For the last three or four years [[physicians]] have been advising patients that they can enhance their [[immunity]] by following programs like that of the [http://www.twcvv.org/ wellness community]. The wellness community [[encourages]] its patients to undertake [[moderate]] [[exercise]], have [[light]] [[exposure]] - but some exposure - to sunlight, improve [[interpersonal]] [[relationships]] with modifications of the[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelve-Step_Program 12-step programs] used by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcoholics_Anonymous Alcoholics Anonymous] and other [[groups]], which includes [[prayer]] or [[meditation]] - whatever a [[person]] wants to call it. Is there anything [[potentially]] harmful in this advice? Is there anything worthwhile in giving this [[advice]] when asked?

A: The most enlightening doors are not at the end of a journey. Growth and enlightenment comes from the journey itself, and the surprise detours one takes. What we think is the goal is often just the carrot to get us to step onto the road which leads to far more interesting yet unenvisioned places than a mere mortal mind could imagine. So I say continue, (student), on the adventure of surprises which will make all of your lives more interesting and certainly give you some new thought modes. (11/29/92)

A: No, no potential harm. Yes, it is quite helpful. But even more helpful is to try to [[enlighten]] one's fellows that [[death]] is not [[tragic]] but the culmination [[spiritually]] of one's life and the beginning of [[potential]] [[eternity]]. That really is the job at hand, not only improving years and [[quality]] of life and [[acceptance]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_illness terminal illness] and will to go on, but what going on really means. Putting [[physical]] [[death]] in [[perspective]], (S), is one of your assignments.

Balance is a word with which you humans feel comfortable. You feel, perhaps, you know this concept well. As children you learned what the word is defined as, and you learned balance. For example, when riding a bicycle without the training wheels. But you have not really learned balance as humans, individually, because your planet is so out of balance. So let us examine what balance really means to each of us and to the world. On a universal level, the first rule of balance is physical. There are dark islands, which exert balancing influences on physical matter in space. Without these islands entire universes would implode, explode, or simply leave. On Urantia, in our local universe, the Master Physical Controllers are in charge of the energy balance, which keeps your planet afloat - rotating, spinning, revolving. Of course, the Isle of Paradise exerts a physical balance as the universes breathe inward and outward. Your scientists have recently discovered evidence of creation. They are on the right track but fail to grasp the concept of physical over-control of balance. Physically, Urantia is balancing even as you who live here perceive an imbalance, upheavals, tidal floods, earthquakes, or volcanoes - are all physical signs of the rebalancing of the planet.

As Urantia approaches Light and Life these physical manifestations will calm. So balance is first and foremost a physical phenomenon. How does this translate to the individual material being? You must pay attention to your physical being. If the physical is unbalanced it repercusses on every level. Like a universe, the physical may cause you to implode, explode, or simply float away. Physical balance on this stage or arena of beingness definitely affects spiritual growth. It can enhance or retard Adjuster control. It can whip up false emotions causing despair, anger, depression, paralysis, false enthusiasm, euphoria, hysteria, fear, phobic reaction. All are manifestations of a physical imbalance. Some you can correct. Others you must learn to live with and overcome mindally-spiritually. Simple things - proper rest, nutrition, lack of abuse to your bodies - constitute the goal of physical balance. When your body is balanced you have the advantage in other areas. In our universe, mindal, intellectual, rational, thinking balance is achieved through a system - although different in degree, upon every level - is basically the same. Of course perfected beings have no need for these considerations as they are created in perfect balance for that is what perfection is. We are more fortunate than they. We earn and learn perfection. In our universe we have a system of teaching. The slightly more advanced teach those behind them. They teach those behind them. We are all teachers and students. Our guardian seraphim help us maintain rationality and perspective, which fosters sanity. If one were to study a minute portion of a painting one may think it insane and meaningless. When one pulls back you may see the whole working in harmony and sanity and balance.

RAYSON: And the [[Spirit of Truth]]. (05/24/92)

Your guardian seraphim see more than you at every level and have given you - and will give you - the gift of intellectual, mindal, sanity. Here, for you, - keep your seraphim close. As I have instructed, fear is distancing to your angels. Consciously request your angels' help and they will be overjoyed to give it to you. They are your constant, faithful companions. If you invite them they will help, but you must allow them the opportunity to serve in their appointed roles. Do not deny these loving beings their service. The human is blessed-cursed with ego. Ego, in and of itself, is not good or bad. Unfortunately, it is mostly in control in individuals at this time on Urantia. Ego can imbalance mind. Mind is a bestowal of Divine Mother and is spiritual, progressive, growth oriented, God advancing in nature. Adjutant Mind Spirits are at work as well as the Mother Spirit, but human ego can interfere, and should not be confused with mind properties - the sanity, spiritually sane properties - that each one of you has. Ego can be identified as self aggrandizement, self-involvement, over self-analysis, when your self becomes more important than the spiritual goals, concepts, you know to be true or when yourself becomes the center of the universe instead of God. Or when yourself becomes more important than your fellows, resulting in hurtful behavior to others. This is ego.

Q: (Students) and I have been independently and together pursuing some [[information]] about herbs that boost the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immune_system immune system], and we were [[wondering]] if it were appropriate for us to continue our line of [[inquiry]] - it seems to take us on a kind of a tortuous [[journey]]. Any comments you have would be welcome.

We cannot be perfect here, brothers and sisters, so do not make another ego error of self punishment for past and present mistakes. We are all learning together. We are becoming together. We are going through a process together. This is what ascension, evolution, experiential beings do. Just be aware of the difference so one may achieve balance. On a planetary level, some geographic locations suffer from lack of mind as groups, others suffer from over-much ego. We are not in balance mindally on this planet. There are few rational group voices on Urantia now, but that will be corrected, and there is no need for despair. Third, and most important element of balanced personality integration, is of course the spiritual. This is both simple and complex. You are all indwelt by a fragment of The FATHER. You have access to the Spirit of Truth, and the ministering Angels, and the Divine Mother. You are co-creating your morontial souls with the Adjuster. But how does one use these tools? Review Thought Adjuster - Spirit of Truth lessons for more technical in-depth explanations, teachings. But for day to day practical usages, I continue to stress a spiritual habit of daily prayer, worship and thanksgiving, a spiritual time to center in God inward and outward, the integration of spiritual principles into thought, word, deed, whether doing trivial, mundane chores, professional chores, or in one's personal social interactions. When spiritual considerations become as important as political gain, other considerations, you will be in balance as an ascender. One must not devote all one's conscious time-thought to the spiritual. Unconsciously or superconsciously that is the reality. But for balance you must pray and then put those prayers answered prayers - into action in your lives. This is balance. You cannot exist in a vacuum. We are interrelated, and it is a disservice to your own progressive path to bury your talents.

A: The most [[enlightening]] doors are not at the end of a [[journey]]. [[Growth]] and [[enlightenment]] comes from the [[journey]] itself, and the [[surprise]] detours one takes. What we [[think]] is the goal is often just the carrot to get us to step onto the road which [[leads]] to far more interesting yet unenvisioned places than a mere [[mortal mind]] could [[imagine]].

Brothers and sisters, you are all spiritual ambassadors in your own lives. That is why balance is so important for you. Rest, relaxation, fun, loving partnering relationships, friendships, prayer, worship, thanksgiving, proper nutrition, doing a good job to retain your material existence, all are necessary for you to be the very best spiritual ambassador that you can be. Your planet is unbalanced most spiritually. There is a lack of understanding of your cosmic place, of your future, of many very basic concepts other planets have. You are off center, but not abandoned, not at all abandoned. Urantia is most cherished by our Creator-Father-Brother MICHAEL, and most looked after on high. Some day Urantia will be the crowning planet of Nebadon, and shine brightest, and the tale of your struggles will inspire others for aeons of time, even into eternity.

For your assignment I would like you to read about the balanced personality of our master incarnated here as JESUS of Nazareth. And I will accept questions at this time, and thank you profusely for your respectful attention. Are there questions?
