Welcome to you, my [[friends]]. I can hardly [[express]] how [[spirit]]-filled I feel this evening. [[Listening]] to you talk about spiritual [[ideas]] with such [[practicality]] fills me with certain gladness. I am beyond [[words]] to express my [[gratitude]] to [[our Father]] for my assignment here with you. In our lessons on [[self-mastery]] it [[becomes]] more easy to apply them to daily living when you can [[discuss]] it among one another. This week I have [[observed]], and I would say, our [[collective]] understanding is moving as [[expected]]. Your efforts to live these lessons make me to be in a state of [[awe]] and [[happiness]]. I am beginning to see what Father sees when He views His beloved children. It is understandable how precious you are to Him. ===Lesson=== ===='''''[[Energy]]'''''==== [[Knowing]] and [[feeling]] the [[love]] and [[presence]] of [[our Father]] is a living [[energy]]. To be [[faith]]-filled in every aspect of daily living is a [[source]] of divine [[power]]. To step into self-forgetfulness leads to feeling, and knowing more of the love, and presence, of our divine Father. We have [[discussed]] holding back in areas of the brotherhood. Keeping to yourself leads you to be distant with [[our Father]]. [[Fearing]] to go out on that limb to serve your fellows is an extinguishing of the fuel that feeds the [[flame]] of good news. It can be [[confusing]] to teach [[self-mastery]], by [[definition]]--to hold back of the more [[animal]]-like self, and then ask that you not hold back of your true [[being]]. I am in understanding of this [[paradox]], yet when we review our past lesson on allowing the [[divine self]] to steer our [[human]]-[[self]], we can begin to understand that we are not to hide our human self, but to allow it to be taught, open, perhaps small, and teachable. I mean not to create [[confusion]], but to turn each of you inward to your own Father, the source of [[truth]], the source of all that is [[tbg|True, Good, and Beautiful]]. To move through your [[mortal]] [[life]] in direct contact with your [[Father Fragment]] [[leads]] you to be fueled by His divine [[energy]]. To hold back in any area of mortal living would create a [[barrier]] to receiving this divine energy. Moving in towards self-forgetfulness leads you to dwell more upon the [[Spirit]], and not from a place retaining Spirit [[poisons]]. In being with the Spirit one can act from the Spirit. Do you see in your self-forgetfulness there is the [[receiving]] of divine [[understanding]] and energy to act upon your spiritual notions without holding back. Y[[our Father]] is in full [[understanding]] of your needs, and attempts to see that they are fulfilled in '[[Timing|His time]],' in 'His time' being your [[experience]], your [[attainment]] of spiritual [[understanding]]. This week I would ask that you attempt to [[feel]] the actual [[presence]] of your [[Indwelling Father]], perhaps attempt to distinguish [[Michael]]'s presence during your human [[trials]]. Attempt to notice the [[difference]] between my presence and Father's presence, my [[energy]] and Father's energy. I mean for you to become better acquainted with your [[recognition]] of Father and His divine [[energy]]. In your [[moments]] of holding back self-[[pity]], or overmuch self-[[analysis]], casts your net to the spiritual side of the boat, if that means through [[stillness]], [[reading]], [[study]], [[creativity]], [[discussion]] with another, then so be it. I would ask that you take a [[step]] away from your knowledge toward [[your Father]]'s knowledge. Continue to [[journal]], and begin to understand the spiritual [[equations]] set before you.I can take questions. ===Dialogue=== ROHNDA: Abraham, I wanted to introduce Jan. I don't know if you have talked to her before. She is [[visiting]] our group tonight. I just wanted to give her an [[opportunity]] and say hello. ABRAHAM: Greetings to you, Jan. It is my [[honor]] to meet with you again. Have you a question? JAN: Do you have anything to address with me? ABRAHAM: I am in [[understanding]] our [[meeting]] is set to take place and I look forward to your questions. I am familiar with you, and I can [[understand]] that you have reached somewhat of a [[crossroads]], and have questions on how to [[proceed]]. Yes, we are looking forward to our meeting. Another question? ===='''''[[Thought Adjusters]]'''''==== RACHEL: Well Father Abraham, two or three weeks ago you made a [[statement]] to me that I would like to ask you to [[clarify]] please. I [[believe]] the exact words were, " there has been only one Indwelling [[Father Fragment]] that has escorted you through your [[mortal]] [[life]]." That kind of sounds like maybe some mortals have had an experience with more than one Father Fragment. Would you mind [[explaining]] that? ABRAHAM: Certainly. In most [[mortals]] there has been only one [[Father Fragment]] upon the time that one can make [[moral]] [[decisions]], and yet I can say that there has been rare instances where mortals have been indwelled by two [[separate]] [[Adjusters]], but only in rare cases. The Father would never give up on a child, and yet some have been so completely far from Him that that [[Adjuster]] had been reassigned, only to have that mortal experience some [[event]] that would make him call out for God. Upon the calling there is another Father Fragment assigned. This is quite rare. The [[majority]] though do travel mortal life and beyond with the same [[Indwelling Father]] that knows them completely, and [[guides]] them when it is allowed. I also can say that most [[Thought Adjusters]] have previous [[experience]] before they meet their human [[candidate]]. Is this answering. (Yes it is and I thank you kindly.) Another question? ===='''''[[Liberty]]'''''==== ROLAND: During the past few weeks I have been sleeping 10 to 12 hours a night. This release of [[energy]] in the muscles and joints feels a lot like when I was in boot camp. I wore a big steal helmet, a 60 pound pack on my back, and walked 10 miles. The end of the day I'd take that pack off, and that steal helmet off, and just feel this release of [[weight]] and crushing [[influence]]. I've sensed that in the last couple weeks. I am almost [[embarrassed]] to say I have slept that much, but it just feels so absolutely [[good]]. I am wondering if you can give me some spiritual [[insight]] in this [[physical]] [[phenomena]]? ABRAHAM: Certainly. One moment. I am told you are allowing yourself to have that [[liberty]] that you have not allowed before. These days you have allowed Father to carry you without [[interference]] from the [[ego]]. You have begun to grasp my [[message]] on self-forgetfulness, and the [[liberty]] has removed a great [[burden]] from you. You find your spiritual [[mission]] to be pleasant, and a source of [[energy]] and [[joy]], not a burdensome labor. In this liberty there is a great amount of spiritual [[energy]], and this can lead you to some [[confusion]]. In the [[balancing]] of this energy and spiritual liberty there will be better utilization of these [[divine]] [[forces]], and excessive sleep will not be [[necessary]]. As for now I would ask you not to have concern, and allow for time to have [[balance]], to create balance. Continue your stepping aside to allow Father to make your spiritual [[mission]] a complete [[joy]], and not a heavy pack to carry. Yes. Is this answering? ROLAND: Yes it is very clearly. During your [[message]] to me I recognized one of the [[feeling]] that I got is the feeling of the words of [[Michael]], peace beyond [[understanding]]. It is in that peace that there comes an incredible willingness to give up the [[ego]], and in that comes a [[sleep]] that is very, very deep and [[restful]]. It seem like those two things work together. ABRAHAM: Yes, you are in [[understanding]]. As [[our mission]] progresses these physical [[feelings]] that are first [[recognized]] will become commonplace. You are [[witnessing]] the physical affects of our [[spiritual]] [[link]]. Yes. Another question? ===='''''[[Science]]'''''==== CALVIN: Abraham, this week in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_magazine Time magazine] there is a big article on a [[universe]] that was discovered through [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubble_telescope Hubble]--very, very [[beautiful]]. I find some very [[unique]], interesting statements in that article in [[comparison]] to the [[Urantia Book]] a way back, like quite a few years back, and now showing the same [[similarities]]. It seems like our [[science]] has progressed closer to [[reality]] than what our [[religions]] have. Do you have any comment to make on that issue? ABRAHAM: Probably not more comment than what you could already give. There is a new [[understanding]] in [[science]] that without [[faith]] in a [[Supreme Being]] the universe is occurring by [[chance]]. With all of sciences [[technology]] there is not one thing that can measure faith, and yet in their [[studies]], faith has proven to have an [[energy]] of its own. People of spiritual [[faith]] have been known to live a more [[healthy]] life and live longer, be more [[joy]]-filled and give [[service]] back to the [[community]]. These studies are scientists only [[proof]] that God does exist, and the answers are within the [[study]] of [[humankind]]. As for the study of [[the universe]], time will show that [[Urantia]] is a very small [[planet]] in a very large and [[organized]] [[universe]]. This cannot be seen through a [[telescope]], but felt in the core of [[the soul]]. It is [[becoming]] common knowledge to each also that [[the universe]] contains [[life]]. Is this answering? ===='''''[[Transmitting]]'''''==== CALVIN: Yes. Beautifully. Thanks. That's some good [[insight]]. Quickly, I think Nina does such a good job [[transmitting]], do you want her to keep going through all this personal transmitting, or do you think she needs some help? I don't know if I am [[clear]] enough. I don't have near as much [[faith]] in my own transmissions that Nina does, but that might be just a thing we all [[feel]] of ourselves too. I would be glad to help if Nina wants or if you want. Its okay if you say not yet too. ABRAHAM: I have complete [[faith]] in your [[abilities]] to [[transmit]], and [[practice]] will prove to bring you more [[confidence]]. But I would say this is your decision. If it is your desire to assist then I would help to uphold you in your decision. I am in [[agreement]] that your [[service]] could be put to good use. You are qualified to minister to your fellows through this method of [[transmitting]], and yet I will work with you on your level of [[comfort]]. Does this answer? CALVIN: Yes very much. I say yes. I would be glad to help out because I know its tough to fill all the schedules. I think a session or two I would be more [[comfortable]]. I'd be glad to help. I think the group would know that if they want a personal meeting with you they would [[feel]] comfortable to ask, and if they don't feel comfortable with me, then I am sure Nina would still help on her end too. ABRAHAM: I am [[appreciative]] of your [[flexibility]], and we have asked for this to come about for all to [[receive]] that ministering that they need. Worry not. One more question? ===='''''[[Guidance]]'''''==== ROLAND: If there is not another person who wants one cause I have already had one. With all this [[opportunity]] to [[sleep]] and [[communicate]] with [[the Father]], and my own personal [[guide]], I have been working on something that Calvin reminded me of, and that is [[the universe]] and how we get through it. My [[exposure]] to the four directional creatures ([[34:4|34:4.12]]) may have been precursor to what I am going to ask you. It seems like what I have been given is the four directional creatures are in our [[local universe]] to help the [[soul]] get back to [[Salvington]], where we pass through [[Michael]], to continue our journey into the [[grand universe]]. One of the [[functions]] is when we move from one sphere to the other sphere that when we are reconstituted that those four directional creatures give you a sense of [[direction]] on which ever sphere we are in. It was [[curious]] to me because it seemed kinda like my own [[hallucinations]], so I wanted to check it out with you. Is that the [[purpose]] of the four directional creatures--to give us a sense of [[orientation]]? ABRAHAM: One moment. I am in [[understanding]] that you are somewhat correct, and I would say that I am not able to speak further on this until I am more fully [[prepared]]. There is a great list of [[universal]] [[mysteries]] each much [[study]] in order to teach. I am inadequate at this time to [[explain]]. I would be [[happy]] to [[research]] this [[information]] and relay it back to you. Is this acceptable? ROLAND: Yes. Thank you very much. I [[appreciate]] that. It would help me a lot. It seems like its been on my [[mind]] quite a bit. So it would be a relief to know that I am [[proceeding]] in the right direction, so to speak. Thank you. ===Closing=== ABRAHAM: Yes certainly. You're welcome. Thank you for your [[participation]] in the expansion of our [[collective]] [[understanding]] Roland, my friend. I would ask you to continue to [[ponder]] over this evenings lesson, and I would [[express]] to you my [[love]] and continued [[assistance]]. Until next week, [[shalom]].
