Changes

ABRAHAM: I cannot usually answer [[material]] questions, but I can say to him that his decisions should be made based on what is best for the whole all concerned. Father is usually more helpful in personal [[material]] questions. Relay to Mark that [[logic]] is well and good, but love is all sustaining. That is all. (Thank you.)

ROLAND: Abraham, this is kind of a personal question I guess, but it is [[curious]] to me... When you were on the [[earth]], it was the [[custom]] to have [[wives]] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concubines concubines]. Now, where we experience in our own communities some [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygamy polygamist] and that, there seems to be some outrage about it lately. What is the spiritual aspect of that. If that is too heavy for you, I will [[accept]] that is none of your business' answer.

ABRAHAM: My understanding is that a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monogamy monogamous] [[marriage]] is closer to a [[divine]] [[relationship]], such as that [[partnership]] between [[Michael]] and [[Mother]]. The history of polygamy has shown that original [[idea]] to stem from man's [[ego]] and need to feel important and in charge. The idea is mortally [[instinctive]] and close t o the [[animal]] nature, whereas a divine union between two people would prove to be in the area of higher mindedness. Is this helping?

ROLAND: It does, very much. Thank you. Just as a follow up when you were given the [[opportunity]] to pass through the seven [[mansion worlds]], was there any [[judgment]] about you having more than one wife or concubines... was [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solomon King Solomon] criticized for that? It is a [[choice]] thing is what I am getting from you... the higher choice is to be monogamous in a one on one [[relationship]]?

ABRAHAM: Yes. The monogamous [[relationship]] leads couples to learn more [[fruits of the Spirit]], [[love]], [[tolerance]], [[perseverance]], and so on. As I reached the [[mansion worlds]] the only thing that was changed was my [[understanding]] of [[relationships]]. No, I was not chastised, nor shameful. I was only [[enlightened]]. Does this answer? (Yes, beautifully. Thank you.) You are welcome. One more question?
