Changes

The [[environment]] in which you live is one that daily [[changes]] not only climatically but also [[economically]], [[politically]], [[socially]] and [[spiritually]]. It is a part of your plight/job as a [[mortal]] to walk the [[path]] in [[faith]] and [[trust]] despite the environment, its good or it’s bad.

And those of you how continually nurture yourselves through the [[stillness]] and the desire to [[understand]] a greater [[purpose]] are those who are able to allow the environmental [[changes]] and fluxes to not destroy you but rather only add to the [[experience]] of a [[mortal]] life.

As [[teachers]] we cannot be specific and give pat answers. We cannot say you must do this or that for that is not the [[decree]] in a system of free [[agency]]. [[Our mission]] is to provide for you an [[understanding]] that there is far more to the [[environment]] than the material [[finite]] [[awareness]]. Those who understand this dual [[nature]] and who incorporate as much as possible the [[divine]] aspect into their material life will find that there are [[serendipitous]] [[experiences]] and that the upholding of [[the universes]] is under the [[guiding]] hand of the [[First Source and Center]].

In your recent [[studies]] of [[humanity]], in your conscious noticing of inhumanities, indiscretions, and intolerances, you see how thickly your realm is layered with work needing done, needing to be accomplished. Children, your [[capacities]] are not such that you can do all that needs to be done. But I do call your [[attention]] to the part in the [[Urantia Book]] that speaks about '[[155:1|Why the heathen rage]]' for their goal is [[immediate]] and many of these situations which you have [[studied]] of late you have seen where the [[offense]] is caused by your fellows stepping on the toes of others. You are not to [[ignore]] work which can be done nor are you to hide perpetually in the [[sanctuary]] of [[stillness]]. But how then to [[proceed]] and prevail when the [[energies]] are so great and you are so small?

Little tadpoles, we are teaching you to swim against a current. We are [[strengthening]] your muscles. We are [[gradually]] bringing you into stride as spiritual [[adults]]. You may take charge of your own system of [[being]] by acknowledging your dependence upon the [[power]] which will make your [[acts]] possible. [http://www.rosicrucian.com/bystorm.htm Taking the Kingdom by storm] is not [[myth]], is not idle chatter, is not [[social]] [[grace]] but is made possible by your [[confidence]] in your [[supernal]] [[guides]], your spirit cousins, your mortal [[peers]], your [[Supreme Creators|Creators]].

The [[assertion]] of [[truth]] has been long denied. It is an [[exercise]] which also requires toning of the spiritual muscle. Truth, you see, can be brought down to [[relative]] levels of functioning. And the truth of [[the Kingdom]], the [[Fortress]], the [[Paradise]] of your existence and your potential [[destiny]] is so great as to require great personal [[conviction]], [[stamina]] and [[courage]] to withstand the whirling [[energy]] spasms which [[surround]] you.
