Changes

And so it seems, perhaps, that the material law of [[abundance]] works within a country, such that one can improve their situation, if you are in the United States and have the means by changing your [[consciousness]] somewhat. So when people [[practice]] that they find out that their abundance improves and perhaps within poor countries people that [[practice]] [[abundance]] [[theory]] maybe get a little larger portion of what's there than they otherwise would, but they certainly don't get what we have in this country. I guess I'm not now even sure where my [[question]] lies other than the first thing. Is that a correct understanding that this is a material law that would hold on most [[planets]] that had a [[normal]] [[history]] but somehow because of [[the rebellion]] and everything else that material law is functioning but has somehow gone awry in our case. I think that would be a [[preface]] to whatever else I might want to ask afterwards. And if I am beating a dead horse to death I am sorry."

Daniel: "I will make one remark. It relates to your friend [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heidi Heidi and her grandfather] who was [[content]] to [[shepherd]] his sheep and goats and make milk. This was to him and to his granddaughter the richest life. Your [[perception]] of `[[abundance]]' is sorely misconstrued as a result of the [[dominance]] of [[materialism]] which certainly is an offshoot of the [[distortions]] on [[Urantia|this troubled planet]]. Abundance is not what is commonly construed and therefor many [[individuals]] run into problems with feeling [[poor]] when they are not poor and by the same token feeling [[poverty]] stricken when they are quite [[wealthy]]. The error is that abundance is somehow related to [[things]] and conveniences when true abundance is related to the [[soul]] of the [[individual]], the [[family]], the [[community]] and the country.

In these poor countries which you have [[referenced]], which by the way exist also in these United States, this [[poverty]] mentality is often due to [[hunger]] and want, yes; but it is also caused by a [[comparison]] to those who have so much and flaunt it so flagrantly. [[Mortals]] are great ones for [[comparing]] themselves to others to ascertain their [[value]] and their [[worth]]. There are many very poor people, millions of very poor people, who are simply and truly [[humble]] and [[happy]] and who deal with life's [[stresses]] and outpourings with much more [[grace]] than many who have great wherewithal and [[connections]], but know not the true [[worth]] of themselves or the [[value]] of one single [[friend]]. That was my comment in reference to your comment."

PamElla: "Your comment is very [[humbling]], and also very [[faith]] provoking in that I know that the TR that you just spoke through does not know the significance of the [[book]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heidi Heidi] in my life since I have never [[spoken]] about that with her. And so that is very [[confirming]] and I will leave it there. And Luke said he wanted the mike and here he goes."

Luke: "Hello Tomas. Hello Daniel. This is Luke here. A very quick comment. Usually my [[thought]] is on the [[celestial]] level and so is Janet's as well. What I do like to do is sometimes when things get trashed out, usually at [[home]], and you hear most of our comments, both of you or others, you are [[welcome]] to join in the [[discussion]] or to [[listen]] to it. And then when we start to babble,[attempt to [[TR]]] not to speak but to babble, we try hard to do so, however, you can quite easily break through and join the [[discussion]]. You would be more than welcome as well as other [[celestials]] which are capable of doing so. So that is all I have to comment on. Please be welcome. Thank you."
