Changes

 

I wish to talk about adapting to surprise, adapting to the unanticipated in life. Your text tells you that your journey in ascension involves the absolute security coming from the love of God combined with the relative uncertainty regarding the future, and advises us, as a result of these two elements, to approach the unknown with anticipation and the excitement of adventure.

 

 

 

Elyon (Bill): Fondest greetings to you all. This is Elyon. I am here visiting this evening with my friend, Daniel. This is a teacher exchange night, and it is my privilege to be with you. I wish to talk about adapting to surprise, adapting to the unanticipated in life. Your text tells you that your journey in ascension involves the absolute security coming from the love of God combined with the relative uncertainty regarding the future, and advises us, as a result of these two elements, to approach the unknown with anticipation and the excitement of adventure.

It is impossible to anticipate the future with excitement without the underpinning substructure of confidence in your relationship to God. If a person does not know God in their own consciousness, or has grossly distorted ideas about God's true character, then the future cannot be viewed with excitement and a sense of adventure, but is more likely to be seen as fearful, uncertain, and the tendency is to stay firmly grounded in the known, which is the present and the past. The sense of confidence which was discussed this evening when one has done all they can to be careful, rightly allows you then to take the risks of adventure. But even beyond all that you might do to be careful and cautious, is a greater truth, i.e., that there is Someone else who looks out for you and does even a better job of care taking than you do. This of course is your Heavenly Parent who looks out for your eternal welfare, and desires your everlasting cooperation and fellowship. The excitement has the tinge of pleasure and adventure because the underlying confidence in the love of God guarantees that whatever comes to you in the future cannot destroy your essence, cannot stop your eternal progress. Since obstacles come to all, to take the attitude that they are learning experiences rather than disasters, makes possible the adventurous and exciting response.

The first life, the mortal life, is designed to be a time of enormous learning; and you on this planet are even more in debt to this possibility. The amount of learning that you do in this life will directly impact your future. So I counsel you to be adventurers. Stretch out your imagination, and enthuse and be exuberant over what time will bring your in the future. Don't be fearful; don't be stingy; and don't be self limiting, but throw away all the things that cling to your legs and arms so that you may run the race of life with freedom, with joy, and with ultimate success.
