Changes

Indeed we like the idea of new beginnings, of new seasons of [[growth]], [[fertility]], and the warmth of the Son. Dear ones, are the questions this afternoon, or any [[commentary]]?

ELYSSIA:      I had a comment. I've been wanting to tell you, Tomas, that I had my little [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunday_School Sunday School] today again and you told me to rely on just [[inspiration]] and we did [[study]] a bit, but then for the first time, and maybe because I've been away from these children, but for the first time I felt that I was in [[synch]] with their [[thinking]], if that could [[explain]] what happened. I felt that I was looking at them and I was aware of their response to what I was saying and I kind of was able to [[guide]] my remarks a good bit, more than I ever was before, and I really had a good [[feeling]] about it because I felt that there was a lot of inner [[action]], and I was really feeling that it was kind of a watermark, kind of a benchmark for me because this never happened before and it was partly due to the fact that I had a [[rest]] and it was also in great part due to the fact that you gave me [[confidence]] to rely upon my own [[thinking]] and my own concerns for them and I could voice them and I had the confidence to do it. Thank you.

TOMAS:        Thank you for your [[testimonial]], my friend and co-worker, as you have begun to [[taste]] the [[effects]] of being a [[teacher]], effectively being with your [[students]]. This is wonderful feel-back for me and for you and for those who have begun to recognize the [[reflection]] of [[reality]].

MERIUM:      I am so glad to be invited out to [[share]] in the [[praise]] of my own teaching skills. I [[humbly]] bow to your gracious [[flattery]] and will augment Tomas' [[intent]] and yield to the [[truth]] that I am in fact a child like you are a child and it is that quality of childlikeness that allows us to be such close friends. You can [[trust]] me because I am capable of being [[foolish]] and of being fluffy. I am not a scholastic type, although of course I am an [[experienced]] being and so I have garnered some [[wisdom]] along the way, which can b substantiated and/or documented by certain [[research]] if necessary; however, my [[value]], as I see my value, is in my life itself as a child of God, and how many times have I said, like an old record, I play with my children.

You have acquiesced, Elyssia, to play with your children in such a way as you can [[understand]] how their little [[minds]] are operating. You have begun to [[connect]] with them in a way that is effective and meaningful; you are no longer speaking down to them or [[patronizing]], as is a classic tendency of [[teachers]]. I myself try not to act like a teacher. I try to be as mortal and sentimental as possible, knowing that's what you respond to. I will not wallow in your misery because you like it, but I will enjoy the refreshment of your childlike [[nature]] because you like it and so do I.

Now you will work with your children in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunday_School Sunday School] on a new level, and you will become comfortable there to the extent that you will see in [[reflection]] how you and [[the Father]] have been working together and even beyond you will begin to [[appreciate]] how the Father in and through [[Ta|His fragment of Himself]] in you, has been enabling you to lift up into a greater [[reality]] of being also. You will be brought to a new level of [[appreciation]] of your [[relationship]] with the Great Teacher that will border on [[worship]], a new degree of worship for you Elyssia, all because you have allowed yourself to experience the experience of connecting as a fellow with your [[students]].

ELYSSIA:      Wow! That is great!

While you are applying yourself thus, Angus, I will comment briefly that we had a very nice meeting of late with a very experienced sojourner on [[Urantia]], an active worker in the field known as Jack, and he spoke of [[disciplines]] in a way that would behoove you to make note of. If you are going to be good [[students]], you would do well to develop certain disciplines in order to garner greater [[joy]] from your learning. You may or may not [[agree]], Merium, but it is compatible with my [[training]]. Alright, then.

ANGUS:        The sentence we had in question, from page 488d, "But [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Daniel#Chapter_4 Daniel] fully understood these matters. He said, 'The [[Most High]] rules in the kingdom of men and gives it to whomsoever he will.'" [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=43:3_The_Most_Highs_of_Norlatiadek (43:3.4)] That sentence seemed to have caused [[confusion]].

TOMAS:        Let me equate it this way. In your own lives, you have felt called. You have felt [[stimulated]] by some impelling [[force]]. At first it was not clear as to its [[divinity]] [[stature]] and yet as you allowed yourself to [[investigate]] and be swayed by the prompts and leadings, you were brought to a [[revelation]] which confirmed for you in your deep recesses that which you knew to be true. In your [[heart]] of hearts you knew and found the [[Fifth Epochal Revelation]] to be a confirmation of that which was already true for you, and thus you came into a more greater awareness of yourself through this confirmation . This is a [[personalization]] of how it is the [[Most Highs]] rule in the kingdoms of men and give it to whomsoever they will give it to.

These [[values]] are an essential part of your [[education]] throughout your ascent in and through your [[local universe]]. The realm of [[study]] of the [[Constellation]] occurs prior to your further studies of the local universe which allows you to rise to the level of awareness that will put you in [[Michael]] and [[Nebadonia]] in their sphere, [[Salvington|their home sphere]], and then you will embark upon the true [[spirit]] [[journey]] and ultimately return to [[the Father]] in [[Paradise]], and so as you ascend your development and understanding of the order of function and [[organization]] of life and its organismal factors of [[intelligent]] [[beings]] is part of the education of the [[Constellation Fathers]] and their associates.

LIANA:          Tomas, I was just [[reading]] a book by a man named [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Wilbur Ken Wilbur] and he was talking about - and this just brought it [[home]] to me and made it easier for me to [[understand]] it better - "[[the whole|the one and the many]]" that we are always a part of - I don't want to say higher or lower, so … we are not divorced from the other kingdoms. I mean the [[animal]] kingdom, the [[mineral]] kingdom? I mean when you even think in the [[physical]] reality we are just an [[atom]], we are just a seed within the [[womb]] of our mothers and then, you know, it's almost like a [[plant]]. We're a [[seed]] in there and then we are a plant and then we are a [[human being]], but then in [[consciousness]], every time we are born we can't differentiate ourselves as little babies, so we keep growing and growing and that's how we individuate. It's like every time a child is born, it's like a universe that's [[unfolding]]. I mean, it has its [[history]] and its [[future]]. And so, I just had to [[share]] that.

TOMAS:        I am glad you did, and I will hoe the [[soil]] with you and call to [[mind]] that when a radish seed is planted, it knows it is a radish. It always grows up to be a radish. It is never a spinach or a carrot, and each of you who are born are born with your own [[unique]] characteristics that can be developed as you allow for your own [[growth]].

TOMAS:        Right. As this [[microcosm]] [[philosophy]] allows, yes, and so you are correct, you cannot completely [[divorce]] yourself from your [[physical]] cousins, your trees and rocks and water and so forth. In fact you read today that there is living water, real [[water]], on [[Edentia]] and so forth, [[mountains]], [[rivers]], etc., that are recognizable and material in the sense that material is appropriate for that sphere. Always will you be part of the [[material]] [[universe]] in that [[context]]. It just will not be as dense as you understand it in your most dense material existence as a mortal in this [[cocoon]] existence of your own [[soul]] [[birth]].

Once [[your soul]] has begun to soar, your world automatically is [[enlightened]] and enlivened, and I will come around now to wind this up for this afternoon, that when you are being enilghtened and enlivened, if you go through periods, [[phases]], wherein one [[reality]] is peeled away as a new reality is added unto you, do not be dismayed or [[delayed]] unduly by any [[confusion]] which may come to your [[mind]]. Trust that you are being led in [[faith]] to your next [[plateau]] of awareness and of [[service]].
