Changes

Death is a natural part of life. Even your own death is a natural part of life. Your fear of death is largely hinging on the ignorance which surrounds the collective consciousness regarding the end of life as it is known in the flesh. As you proceed in faith to acknowledge and rely upon this higher reality, this morontial existence, the more celebration and confidence that emerges in progressing forward in your assent. Pressing forward in your [[ascension|ascent]] against such great odds is exhausting, is, indeed, requiring the development of stamina and spiritual muscle. It is requiring the development of living faith and acknowledgement of the works of faith.

As you have all testified this evening, you have all stood firmly by that which you are realizing is the true [[reality]], and in your confirmation of your reality to others you thus confirm the collective consciousness of the new age of [[Light and Life]]. Although it may seem that this group is a [[microcosm]], hardly a speck in terms of the greater whole, the tremendous effort that is necessary for this process of correction to take place, the truth remains that once this reality becomes imbued in you to the extent that you no longer succumb to the downpull of the fears of the old way, the growth is rapid like fire, will spread and touch every living thing, creating new ground for a new world.

I am reminded of the prayer of [[Francis of Assisi|St. Francis]] that once was a part of your preamble in this [[group]] and call to your [[mind]] the [[value]] of the attitude which chooses to understand rather than to be understood, that chooses to love than to be loved, and that chooses to serve than be served. For in the attitude of giving out you avail yourselves of that font of life, power, strength, and energy which truly does do for you what you as an animal cannot do for yourself. Destiny goals accelerate one another by the faith which you have as [[individual]]s. And so you find yourself opening your mouth and pearls are strewing in front of you in spite of yourself and to your own amazement.

My paragraph has to do with fear and how to withstand the assault of fear in your environment, for it is great. How do you not succumb to the fear of others? Perhaps you can tell me, Isaac?"

Bill/Isaac: "Your are reading my mind, Tomas, for that was exactly my experience this week. I came across an old fear, a fear I associate with the days of active alcoholism, of being influenced or possessed by some evil influence. My problem was I read the book, "The Exorcist", and it was a terrifying experience as it has been for many people. It presents the idea that something evil could take you over against your will. There has been discussion on Urantial of the danger or TRing. One of the TRs from the Teaching Mission List(TML) talked about a channeler who got 'possessed', you might say, by a dragon spirit in Japan and was really harassed by that spirit. And this particular TR claimed that there are still these kinds of spirits hanging out on this planet, that the Urantia Book wasn't clear about it. It was quite a frightening idea. Intellectually I didn't buy it but my old tape recording of fear from reading the horror story came on.
