Changes

Each of you has been alerted to situations and [[opportunities]] to actually [[listen]] rather than to pronounce your own [[opinions]] in [[conversations]] and meetings with your earthly [[brothers and sisters]] over this past week and that is [[good]] to see. Though you may oftentimes feel that it is [[necessary]] to stifle your own [[opinions]] when you feel such a circumstance has arisen, we call also upon you to exert your [[judgment]]. You should not allow the [[listening]] [[exercise]] to so take up your [[thoughts]] as to deny your companions in [[conversation]] and life [[experience]] the benefit of your own [[spiritual]] [[insights]]. We suggest that the wisest course for you to follow is to do as we suggested months ago and attempt to turn the [[focus]] of the conversation to matters of [[spiritual advancement]]. This [[listening]] exercise is an adjunct to the work that has gone before and it is not a wholly [[secular]] exercise. All of our previous instructions and suggestions are as valid today as they were in the [[past]] and more so. I simply point out that by [[listening]] and restraining your own [[ego]] based [[commentaries]] you are turning an encounter into an [[opportunity]]. We remain convinced if you allow your [[Thought Adjuster]] to make direct contact with your conversant's Thought Adjuster then something special will happen. I suggest to you that this [[event]] is [[worthy]] of [[observation]]. Your ability to [[concentrate]] your [[attention]] on the encounter itself and minimize the extraneous [[thoughts]] that arise with egoistic need as their source you will better to be able to [[discern]] contact between [[Adjusters]]. Regrettably, this is a rare species of [[event]] on your planet, although not unknown.

By marshalling your [[resources]] we think the [[Heavenly Father]] will arrange for you to keenly [[observe]] Him as He [[reveals]] Himself by His favorite [[method]]. We [[think]] that you all [[realize]] what an unusual occasion this will be. We think you will like the result. We think you will [[enjoy]] the [[experience]]. We are [[confident]] that you will learn a great deal each time this occurs. Therefore we suggest that you rule yourselves as it says in the [[Urantia Book]]. He who can rule his own [[self]] is greater than he who takes a [[city]].[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Proverbs#Proverb_.16] [[Prepare]] yourselves to see something momentous. By and by pursuing this [[course]] you will notice you have entered upon a new life. A life of the [[love]] of [[the Father]] made [[flesh]] in the life of His [[Creator Son|son]] known among your people as [[Jesus]] of [[Nazareth]]. So do not become [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myopia myopic] about this [[exercise]]. Use good [[judgment]]. That's what we've been working toward. You will make your mistakes. That is an inescapable aspect of life on a [[material]] [[planet]]. We are with you. Do not trouble yourselves overly about any possible damage that you might cause to your conversant by making [[errors]] of ineptitude. As we have [[repeatedly]] commented, [[progress]] is the way. Therefore go forth [[boldly]] and [[listen]] and apply what you have learned. If you listen closely you will find that you are always [[learning]] from every [[source]]. That is all I have to say. Now, as our last item, it has been some time since the [[opportunity]] was offered for questions. This floor is open now for [[questions]].

===Dialogue===

JUDY: Will, this is Judy, again. We began the [[meditation]] in our evening meeting to, as Joan calls it, "jump-start" some of those people that might have the [[ability]] to [[communicate]] with [[celestials]]. Is this still a productive time? I think that most people [[enjoy]] it but we don't quite know what to [[expect]] out of the time. Could you give us a little [[guidance]] on that?

WILL: You can do no damage to yourselves from the [[stillness]] [[practice]], whether regular or intermittent. From our [[perspective]], we find that the practice as presently [[perceived]] by your group is marvelously [[attuning]]. To seek more is to seek [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=145:5_Early_Sunday_Morning signs or works (145:5.6)]. We find that your short [[practice]] as tonight has the beneficial [[effect]] of [[concentrating]] your [[minds]]. Stilling your [[egoistic]] selves and opening yourselves as a receptacle to the [[Heavenly Father]]'s [[influence]]. We'll use a human [[expression]]: "[[http://www.metrolyrics.com/you-cant-hurry-love-lyrics-human-nature.html you can't hurry nature]". [[Changes]] are taking place. No [[person]] here is walking backward. No person is standing still. [[The Father]] stands beyond, beckoning. Our job is to guide you through a road so [[happy]] you will feel it in your feet. So I can not say that the early meeting [[stillness]] practice is unproductive or that nothing is taking place. Our view is that willing workers have reported for [[duty]] at the wall. Next.

KATHY: I have a question about Eric [[reading]] this newspaper article tonight. While we all identified with it and laughed about it, the [[communication]] between [[male]] and [[female]] - I guess my question is - is this an [[inevitable]] part of it or is there a real need for [[growth]] in [[communication]] between the sexes?

WILL: This [[question]] troubled me greatly while I lived my [[material]] life. I often felt [[frustrated]] at the apparently complete [[failure]] of [[communication]] between my [[husband]] and myself on matters which I felt of great import and which he seemingly felt were [[trivial]]. I think that for your [[purposes]], this situation is best described by the section on [[Morontia mota]] in the [[Urantia Book]] which states, if I recall correctly, that [[mediocrity]] seeks to preserve itself in standardization. Your people are only a few thousand years from [[hunting]] their sustenance from the [[forests]] and [[plains]] or digging for their supper with a sharpened stick. In less fortunate times, from subsisting from what is found dead upon the ground. Even today, more people than can be counted by you live at such a [[standard]]. It is not yet time on your [[planet]] to change the age old [[relationship]] between the man who looks out and the woman who looks inward. Much time will be consumed before these [[orientations]] fade into historic [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anecdote anecdotes]. Strong [[socialization]] programs will go far towards eradicating some of the more [[fundamental]] [[differences]] between [[males]] and [[females]] on your planet with nearly all of the world and even most of your own [[society]] is not ready. Besides, when I surveyed the [[male]] members of your group, I see that they don't know what we are talking about.

PAT: Is the [[Creator Son]] one of the members of the [[trinity]]?

PAT: Is the [[Creator Son]] one of the members of the [[trinity]]?

WILL: That is easy. The answer is contained in the [[Urantia Book]]. No. The [[Creator Sons]] are not [[personalities]] of the [[paradise trinity]]. [[Creator Sons]] come into being through a [[mechanism]] which is not completely [[understood]] by any [[creature]] of my order or even of my counselor's order, although he is a teacher. The [[Creator Sons]], to paraphrase the [[Urantia Book]], [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_21#21:1._ORIGIN_AND_NATURE_OF_CREATOR_SONS spring from] the conjoint meetings of [[minds]] of the [[Paradise Father]] and the [[Eternal Son]]. When their minds meet in a certain way, a [[Creator Son]] is the [[inevitable]] result of that meeting of minds. It is the signal to [[creation]] that a new area is to be [[organized]] to the greater [[glory]] of [[God]]. Does that answer?

PAT: I think so, but I hate to be [[difficult]] about this part, but I am really trying to [[understand]] this better. [[Christ]] [[Michael]] was the Creator's Son. He is the gate to [[the Father]]. There are other [[Creator Sons]]. Are they also gates to the Father? And what of people who only [[believe]] in [[one God]], no other [[spiritual]] [[beings]], are they then to have a way to gain [[access]] to heaven?

And what of people who only [[believe]] in [[one God]], no other [[spiritual]] [[beings]], are they then to have a way to gain [[access]] to heaven?

WILL: The [[Creator Son|Creator's Son]] holds the reins in the [[local universe]]. It is he who took the disorganized [[matter]] and [[organized]] it. It is he who caused the dust to swirl in such a way that [[planets]] and [[moons]] and [[stars]] were formed. He does not perform these deeds in his own name. He performs these deeds in the [[service]] of [[the Father]]. It is what he was [[born]] to do. His life and his deeds are in service to [[the Father]]. There is great variety among the [[Creator Son|Creator's Sons]]. They are many. I will not attempt to impress numbers. They are easily discoverable in [[Urantia Book|the Book]]; not to diminish the validity of such pursuit but great [[variety]] exists among the Creator's Sons. Each one is [[unique]]. Each one contains certain [[aspects]] of [[the Father]] just as each person on this planet is [[different]]. You know that even among [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identical_twins#Monozygotic_.28.22identical.22.29_twins identical twins], there is no such thing as [[perfect]] [[identity]]. How much more so for a [[creature]] that is as [[powerful]] and as grand as a [[Creator Son]]. Their [[methods]] of achieving their [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_21#21:3._LOCAL_UNIVERSE_SOVEREIGNTY full bestowal powers], their full [[sovereignty]] are as varied as their [[personalities]]. We think that you are fortunate to have this [[Michael]] as your [[Creator Son]]. A most [[difficult]] [[bestowal]] for the [[Creator Sons]] is [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_119#119:7._THE_SEVENTH_AND_FINAL_BESTOWAL as a material creature of the realm]. It is a requirement of their office that they live a [[creature]] [[existence]] first hand so to [[experience]] [[Paper 119 - The Bestowals of Christ Michael|those creatures]] extant within their realm.

The [[material]] life is the most [[difficult]]. I like the term used by a [[group]] member, Hal. In the [[study]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhist_texts Buddhist literature], he came across a term. He [[described]] it as [[spiritual]] [[alchemy]]. I find that notion useful. It is as if the [[Heavenly Father]] has [[breathed]] life into the mud of this planet and from that breath, a [[spark]] of life, came [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_celled_organism single cell organisms], they became [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicellular_organism multi-celled organisms] which became colonial creatures which then became [[59:4|fish]], [[59:5|amphibians]], [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_60_-_Urantia_During_Early_Land-Life_Era#60:1._THE_EARLY_REPTILIAN_AGE reptiles], [[Paper 61|mammals]], and up until we three sit here in disguise is all [[the Father]]'s work performed by the [[Michael]] and his most [[difficult]] task was to drop his [[personality]] and his [[powers]] to be [[born]] as an ordinary [[creature]] of the realm. Born as an [[animal]] with the [[potential]] of becoming a [[human]] and, upon his first [[thought]], his first [[moral]] thought, he, like every other inhabitant of this planet, [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_108#108:2._PREREQUISITES_OF_ADJUSTER_INDWELLING received a Thought Adjuster] as a direct gift from the [[Heavenly Father]] resident on [[Paradise]]. A personal transaction he became an ordinary [[human]] and the [[Heavenly Father]] and from that point, [[Michael]], then living as [[Jesus]], went forward and showed by his every [[thought]] and deed, his life as a perfect [[reflection]] of the [[Heavenly Father]]'s will. Does that answer the first half of your question?

===='''''[[Transmitting]]'''''====

WILL: [[Participants]] in [[Woods Cross TeaM|that group]], [[mortals]] of the realm, [[participating]] in that group, have some [[natural]] [[ability]] in these matters which we felt that we could capitalize on. However, it is so very [[difficult]] for the [[human]] to [[maintain]] the [[posture]] as a [[channel]] and no more, that the [[experiment]] went awry. A very innate [[ability]] of those humans just like the human participators you utilize in the transmissions for [[Tallahassee TeaM|this group]], their very willingness to [[cooperate]] is the same seed of contamination that allows the [[Distortion|pollution]] of the [[message]] or for unanticipated [[errors]] to creep in. It is what I have [[described]] before, it is an upside and downside [[problem]]. For every plus, a minus. We felt upon [[observation]] that the apparent [[failure]] of the [[healing]] [[exercises]] had certain [[tragic]] characteristics. However, I would like to use this [[opportunity]] to reaffirm what we all know is [[truth]]. If known, of those lives that were lost, the [[tragedy]] is two-fold that those unfortunate [[persons]] lost the only [[opportunity]] that they will ever have to live in [[material]] life on a [[planet]] such as yours indwelt by a [[Father fragment]] and, second, that their [[companions]] were deprived of the [[pleasure]] of their company. It was certainly a sad [[event]]. There are no gaps in [[the Father]]'s plan. His hands hold all and no [[soul]] slips through His fingers. However, notwithstanding the [[tragedy]] for [[personalities]] directly involved, it was seen that the [[experiment]] with earthly [[healing]] contained more [[possibility]] for harm than [[good]] and that the program was [[judged]] by its [[failures]]. I cannot dispute that. My [[knowledge]] on this matter is [[limited]] and my [[understanding]] is that that [[activity]] is [[suspended]]. That is my present understanding. Next question.

WILL: The [[Urantia Book]] is a kind of [[cosmology]]. It is basic [[factual]] [[information]] about the [[mechanisms]] of the [[creation]], [[the Father]]'s personal ministry and His efforts to blanket His [[creation]] with [[Paper 30 - Personalities of the Grand Universe|specific orders of creatures]]. His assigned [[duty]] is to perfectly [[respond]] to the [[necessities]] required by [[ascending creatures]] such as yourselves in order to make proper [[spiritual]] [[progress]] so as to ultimately meet one-to-one with the [[Paradise Father]]. I recommend that you read in [[Urantia Book|the Book]] sections on the different [[mansion worlds]]. Pay [[attention]] to the [[facts]] described therein, comparing the levels of instruction which are provided in each of the different worlds. The worlds are but [[schools]] from which [[souls]] [[graduate]] one to the next and the next, to the next. This is a [[pattern]] of [[progress]] just as you yourself have gone from teacher to [[teacher]], from [[knowledge]] to yet more knowledge. The [[Urantia Book]] contains a range and a selection of teachings drawn from different [[mansion worlds]] which are thought to be understandable by a cross section of people on [[your planet]].

The [[Urantia Book]] is a [[tool]]. It is an [[inspired]] tool. It is a [[Michael]] tool. It is a gift from us to you. It is just the kind of gift that we make you. You have to do a lot of work, but we believe that it is worthwhile. We do not say that the [[Urantia Book]] replaces some other [[book]]. We will say that it supplements other books. We will say that the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=UB#Part_IV._The_Life_and_Teachings_of_Jesus section on the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth] qualifies as a restatement of the [[Christian]] religion although I . ...

The [[Urantia Book]] is a [[tool]]. It is an [[inspired]] tool. It is a [[Michael]] tool. It is a gift from us to you. It is just the kind of gift that we make you. You have to do a lot of work, but we believe that it is worthwhile. We do not say that the [[Urantia Book]] replaces some other [[book]]. We will say that it supplements other books. We will say that the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=UB#Part_IV._The_Life_and_Teachings_of_Jesus section on the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth] qualifies as a restatement of the [[Christian]] religion although I . ...

[[The Father]]'s ministry cannot be stopped. It is like [[evolution]]. Once unleashed, it cannot be stopped. It is central to do what the Father needs. [[Teaching Mission|Our mission]] is only to [[illuminate]] His concern and His [[activity]] to assist those who are interested in direct one-to-one [[communication]] with the [[Father fragment]] which we believe is possible for all.

This life is but a fleeting [[shadow]]. A moment irreplaceable in [[experience]]. Although no road is foreclosed, never again will any [[experience]] exactly the same be presented to you. So in one way, or one approach, you have but a single [[opportunity]] to pursue the [[work]] of [[the Father]]. Those of us who are [[Fusion|fused]] mortals at one with the [[Adjuster]] look on your lives and [[wish]] that we could [[intervene]]. Indeed, even live your lives for you for we [[think]] that we know a better way, but it is not to be. We would live your lives in a fashion markedly different from the fashion in which you prosecute your daily [[activities]].

When you [[read]] the papers in the [[Urantia Book]] describing the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=The_Urantia_Text_-_Contents#Part_IV._The_Life_and_Teachings_of_Jesus life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth], you will quickly [[deduce]] that [[the Master]] was constantly [[aware]] of the passage of [[linear]] [[time]]. He was constantly aware that he had but a short time available to him to gain the [[necessary]] [[experience]] required to discharge his [[responsibilities]]. He well knew that he had but a few years and that his time was [[limited]] and would one day abruptly end in a whirl of [[events]] beyond his [[control]]. He had elected years before [[purposely]] not to [[control]] such events; to live out his life as an [[ordinary]] [[creature]] of the realm; not to intervene with his many [[supreme]] [[powers]].

Each of you also know as well that [[time]] is short, yet you [[steadfastly]] refuse to [[act]] upon that [[knowledge]]. You dispute it. You deny it. You avoid it. You temporize. You makes excuses and have more important things to [[think]] about. All invalid. No man or woman knows when they will depart this life. Look upon those known to you who sense an imminent departure. See how their lives are changed. You would do well to live as if there were no tomorrow. Every [[moment]] is precious rightly to be turned to [[the Father]]'s work for the door to the after life is a one-way door. You shall not pass it again. It is an extraordinary [[dispensation]] that any [[creature]] shall live two lives on the [[material]] [[planets]]. There is no [[school]] like this school. The [[experience]] gained here can be approximated; schools exist on the [[mansion worlds]] for that very [[purpose]], yet this [[experience]] cannot be duplicated. This [[experience]] is a once in a spiritual lifetime [[opportunity]]. Oh, it is [[difficult]], troublesome, confounding and vexing. We well know. We are informed by [[humans]] on a regular basis the difficulties involved. But you would be [[surprised]], perhaps, to know that that is not the bulk of the [[information]] which we above receive. Many are the days spent in the [[glorification]] of life. The [[love]] of [[family]]. The concern for [[neighbors]], [[friends]] and [[kin]]. The [[physical]] and [[emotional]] [[love]] showered upon the [[children]], the fond [[thoughts]] for elderly [[parents]]. The longings for distant [[friendships]]. You know not how [[the Father]] counts that [[love]]. It is what makes you [[human]].
