In the [[spirit]] world, there is not such a vast [[discrepancy]] between [[personality]] and [[god-consciousness]]. Personality grows through god-consciousness. Personality grows through experience of [[becoming]] familiar of the patterns of loving [[service]]. It is said on your world that"God is Love". No truer words can be spoken about God. [[Love]] is a peculiar word. It is a word that can only become real through [[action]]; its verb content; through giving of the love which is given to you.

[[The kingdom|The spiritual kingdom]] is built upon love. In a spiritual kingdom, [[love]] is as solid and as strong as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granite granite]. It is more valuable than diamond and gold. It is more powerful than armies and much more sophisticated than bombs. Yet, this substance and this gift is freely given to all by that resource within. The only condition given to [[recycle]] it. Constantly and continually recycle it. Give it away on a whim, to a [[stranger]], to a loved one, to yourself. I speak these words of [[truth]] and [[encouragement]]. Not as a [[contrast]], but a plain and simple [[truth]].

You cannot begin to know God without being able to give [[love]] to another. It is not possible. God is not a [[symbol]], an [[icon]], nor a static idea. God is the living word, the living [[truth]], the [[The Stream|ever flowing water]], never ending [[light]] and unbounded [[love]].

Begin to [[learn]] who you are, what you are not, and what you should be. Yes, the [[challenge]] and rigors of [[love]] are real and [[exciting]]. They will confront your [[apprehension]] and your [[anxiety]], your [[fear]] and [[limits]]. Love has the capacity to make you a larger vessel. It also has to capacity to reveal intimate [[information]] to you; what you should be doing, what you need to work on and why you are here.

In the [[physical]] world, you need to be [[surrounded]] by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen oxygen] to live. In the spiritual world, you need to be surrounded by [[love]] to [[survive]]. Thank you.

Hal; Along that line, JarEl, you have mentioned that [[love]] is more powerful than the [[sword]]. We have heard this, yet in our [[culture]], this has not been adequately [[demonstrated]] for us. We have witnessed the sword has always won out, as in some lost cultures. [[Beautiful]] cultures that were lost. Is the [[difference]] there, the concept of [[time]], in the immediate as we like to see [[action]] tomorrow, or is it the love, strength is a slower [[process]] and takes place in a different time frame. Is that why we cannot appreciate it too well?

JarEl; In a certain sense this is true. [[Love]] is definitely more [[subtle]]. Love has greater demands than the sword. Anyone can pick up the sword, the gun and shoot. But a man born of [[faith]] to [[understand]] that love is a [[seed]], and the planting of this seed needs a time of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incubation incubation] and nourishment, resource, until that loves begins to show forth fruit.

In this [[respect]] there is a [[time]] [[consideration]]. This is why when man gets too far from the garden, man loses sight of some basic and [[metaphorical]] truths. [[Value]] is created and earned. There is too much nurturing of the old [[cults]] of the [[sword]], the cult of [[blood]], the cult of an 'eye for an eye', cults of [[nationalism]].

JarEl, [[Jesus]] never intended to fill everyone's [[expectations]]. Neither does God intend to fill anyone's expectations. It is you who must fulfill God's expectations. Jesus was viewed as a [[failure]] because Jesus refused to grant and cater to the expectations of [[Folk|the crowds]] of his times. Just like many today are willing to meet God half-way only if God is willing to fulfill their expectations.

[[Spirit]] has no need nor desire to fulfill the [[expectations]] of humans. This is not why we are here. This is why it is important to [[discern]] Father's will. This helps to release your own will. God and [[Grand Universe|the spiritual universe]] has a tremendous resource for man. It is God's plan and he is calling the shots. [[Jesus]] only attempted to portray the Father's plan to [[humankind]]. During [[Paper 121 - The Times of Michael's Bestowal|Jesus times]], the people wanted a more dynamic and customized [[Messiah]]. One that would cater to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_nationalism Jewish nationalism]. There are [[factions]] within your country today who believe that God caters to some form of religious [[ideologies]] in [[nationalism]].. It is a tough lesson for man to learn that he must put up his own sails to catch the winds of God.

Nell; it is OK then to pull back and not [[participate]] then, in certain things that are not doing any thing at all for us.

Some situations as with some people, take a tremendous amount of [[patience]]. For example. How many centuries have the spiritual [[personalities]] on [[this planet]] been patiently waiting the day when the seeds of [[wisdom]] will begin to sprout and the shoots of [[love]] begin to leaf and bear fruit. Thousands of years: from the times of [[Caligastia]], the times of [[Adam and Eve]], the times of [[Machiventa]], and even from the times of [[Michael's bestowal]], have spiritual [[missionaries]] who have volunteered to come here, patiently served, guided and not given up.

Eve suffered from impatience, and allowed herself to be [[manipulated]]. [[Caligastia]] himself also suffered impatience and was [[deceived]] by his superiors. Yet [[Machiventa]] was patient, and [http://www.institute.daynal.org/books/primary/epoch3.html his missionaries] all over the world planted seeds of [[truth]] and [[wisdom]] which have continued to sprout even to this day. [[Michael]] was patient, and he has truly planted the seeds albeit [[this planet]] has yet yielded a great [[harvest]]. Nonetheless the strains are still alive and well. We do look forward to that [[harvest]] one day. The time of the great [[soul]] on Urantia. There will certainly be that time.
