===='''''[[Shame]]'''''====

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Original_sin Original sin] is a concept that has been adopted by [[Christianity]] and is one of the more serious [[handicaps]] to the flight of the [[spirit]], for it inures its adherents to believe that they have begun in a state of [[shame]]. You are therefore a "shame-based society" and such a concept is deplorable to a loving [[universe]], for you are not [[victims]] of your [[life]] here, you are the recipients of a [[wonderful]] gift, the gift of life! You are [[deity]]-in-the-making; you are en route to [[Paradise]] [[perfection]]. You are, even today, capable of [[manifesting]] relative [[perfection]] in your [[desire]] to serve and in your [[steadfast]] [[worship]] of those who have created you, those [[Trinity]] parents.

No, it does not [[reflect]] upon the [[shame]] of [[sex]], but upon the concept of the [[knowledge]] of [[good]] and [[evil]], for those who would question the [[word of God]] are, to some, a threat, particularly when they have established what will be and what will not be "[[the Word]]."

Those of you who [[understand]] [[the Word]] to be the [[Second Source and Center]], who has indeed instilled in you a [[desire]] to rise to meet Him in this [[spirit-gravity circuit]], would recognize that it is your [[destiny]] to stand tall. It is one thing to have [[humility]] and quite another to have [[shame]]. Shame is a way of keeping you in place, in line. It is an [[artificial]] [[obedience]] imposed by those who fear the [[truth]].

We have spent much time developing [[concepts]] that would enable you to rise above a [[belief]] in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Original_sin original sin]. The [[67:1|Caligastian episode]], the [[Lucifer Rebellion]], was not your doing; the [[Adamic Default]] was not your doing; nor was [[the crucifixion]] of [[Christ]] your doing. For you to assume any sense of [[responsibility]] for those historic [[events]] is [[absurd]]. You are a new [[soul]]. You are a budding new [[reality]], having fallen from nothing, but rather being risen in awareness and [[enlightenment]] toward your rightful [[destiny]] as a spirit being in and through the [[Universal Father]] Himself.

It goes back to [[self]]-[[respect]]. It goes back to your [[relationship]] with your[[ Indwelling Spirit]]. It is [[necessary]] that you develop your own [[spirituality]] through your [[relationship]] with that God which resides within you, and not from [[theologies]] of ages [[past]] and olden [[prophets]]; and yet that concept, original sin, holds millions in [[bondage]] even today, for they fear to question, they live in [[fear]]. This is not [[the Father]]'s will that His children should live in [[fear]] and [[feel]] justified in [[comforting]] themselves and [[surrounding]] themselves with yet more [[fear]].

Of course you are not inclined to do something that is shrouded in gray. But if it were something that was [[luring]] you with pink and blue and yellow, you would have an entirely [[different]] approach to it. Think of me as your puppy dog and take me for a walk. I am in need of [[exercise]], not you. If you serve me, you will inadvertently serve yourself by taking [[care]] of what needs to be done as a result of being of [[service]] to me. Do you see the different approach? As you approach your [[life]] in [[service]], your needs are met and you are made well and whole in the [[process]].

Hunnah: You have just made my day. I think you've made Gerdean's day too because you have answered -- absolutely put your finger on it. I am now [[thinking]] that you are the [[author]] and finisher of my [[play]]ful [[self]]. I have talked (on the job), I have done something similar and said something, somewhere to people who have been stuck, and I will attempt to call my Golden Retriever "Jasmine" and see if I can come up with looking at and approaching it and perhaps packing a child's lunchbox. I will [[challenge]] my [[creative]] juices and that is indeed what was lacking. I have a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle bicycle] that is far more [[playful]] than the treadmill. Color. You mentioned [[color]]. I will try to keep that in mind.

===='''''[[Nutrition]]'''''====

===='''''[[Nutrition]]'''''====

JASMINE: I would like also to address [[nutrition]]. You have heard Merium speak of "Mother's Milk," that you need to feed the [[baby]], and I will tell you that much of your [[appetite]] is not for [[food]], my dear, of a [[material]] nature, but for food of another nature. There are many aspects of you besides the [[spirit]] that are not properly nourished. Much of you is crying out for well-roundedness and it is materializing as a well-roundedness that you do not enjoy.

JASMINE: Having set meat aside, you have done well. I would not urge you to return to meat-eating, having already accomplished that feat. Fruit is always a [[good]] [[choice]] and grapes are good friends, for you can pop grapes all day and enjoy the [[effect]] of eating without risk of putting on unwanted weight. Frozen grapes are fun, too, but again, I am not criticizing so much your foodstuffs, as your negligence in feeding those parts of yourself that would [[satisfy]] your many [[hungers]].

Your [[creative]] appetite is great, for example, and it is seldom [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satiety satiated]. Your [[social]] appetites are great, but they are [[distorted]] by many of the avenues that you are involved in. The development of your [[soul]]'s urge to [[share]] will help to satisfy that, for you will begin to be heard on the level that you need to be heard and when you hear with that part of you that seeks to hear and [[respond]], that too will satisfy one of your hungers.

Hunnah: You certainly have put the [[light]] on this in a new way. I also feel as if I am stifling a lot of [[anger]]. Or perhaps [[frustration]], because I am frequenting patterns that I would probably pass up if I didn't -- if I had my [[choice]]. There are things that I wouldn't bother doing, that take me in places where I find eating a [[problem]], but being able to look at it will probably help make it right. Thank you for addressing an expanded awareness of appetite, because I can use it in my daily work.

It is a part of the [[maintenance]] of [[civilization]] that [[men]] and [[women]] have the [[roles]] to play, but it is highly detrimental to [[spirit]] -- even the spirit of the [[individuals]] -- when they take those roles so seriously that they lose themselves in the role that they play [in order] to [[satisfy]] [[society]]'s [[expectations]] and their feeling of [[marital]] [[obligation]]. This, if not checked, will make a [[mockery]] of the [[partnership]] of men and women.

And this is why it is a concern to you in your [[marriage]] and why, perhaps, it is that you feel, in some respects, that you do not know your daughter, for you can see that she is very adeptly playing the [[role]] of [[wife]] and [[mother]] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mrs._America Mrs. America], very much as you have done in your [[career]] with Abram, but it precludes the stripped-down bottom-line [[reality]] of your true [[relationship]] with these people: (1) that Abram is your Brother, and that relationship will far outlive the [[spousal]] relationship that you [[share]] with him; and (2) that the stripped-down bottom-line relationship between you and your daughter is that you are Sisters, and that relationship will last throughout [[eternity]], and that is wherein you [[feel]] a [[frustration]].

Only as they [[understand]] their own [[poverty]] in the [[role]] they play and lean toward the [[spirit]] [[reality]] within themselves will they feel [[free]] to [[share]] their spirit reality with your spirit reality. But, my dear, if you continue to overextend to them your [[role]] of [[wife]] and/or [[mother]] in lieu of your own genuine [[self]], then you will be contributing to the [[estrangement]] that is [[inherent]] in anyone who plays a [[role]] rather than relying upon the [[reality]] of [[truth]] to bridge these gaps.

I embrace you, all of you. I adore your Indwelling Adjuster and your potential. I am empathetic with your personal life experiences. I have sorrowed in your sorrow and rejoiced in your joy. I have stumbled when you have fallen and I have helped you up when you have risen.

I [[embrace]] you, all of you. I adore your [[Indwelling Adjuster]] and your [[potential]]. I am [[empathetic]] with your personal life [[experiences]]. I have sorrowed in your [[sorrow]] and rejoiced in your [[joy]]. I have stumbled when you have fallen and I have helped you up when you have risen.

I am pleased to be your close associate and guide. There is nothing that you cannot share with me. There is no music that you can make that would not be harmonious to my ears; and there is no aroma that you can give off that would not be a delightful fragrance to me, for I love you that deeply and care for you that sincerely. And so, feel my embrace.
