Changes

Student: Welmek, I have a request, but not for this evening. It's just something for the [[future]]. I've been thinking a lot lately, and getting some [[insights]] into a [[phenomena]] I call '[[romanticism]]', a kind of [[imaginative]] crutch that we use maybe out of necessity for awhile. I'm thinking of romanticizing something like [[warfare]]. That in the [[past]], in order to face both what might happen to us and what we might have to do to other men, or even women and children, we romanticize something. But then that itself becomes something that helps perpetuate our [[ability]] to do these things past any necessity. So maybe some time in the future I would enjoy your [[insights]] as to what we do about this, because it's such a big part of our mass [[culture]]. Thank you.

Welmek: When we have concluded our series on [[prayer]], we can spend some time in looking at this idea that you have presented. For there is an element of [[escapism]] that is operating in this idea of [[romanticism]]. And it is not something that improves the [[quality]] of your [[culture]]. It holds people [[hostage]] and renders people ineffective. So I will take this to our [[Teaching Corps]] and we will look at this as we move into new ideas of [[spiritual development.]] (Thank you.)

I will ask you now to go within, to spend a few [[moments]] in [[prayer]] for those near and dear to you. Find that place of [[empathy]], of sensing that other person's need of spirit and finding that place where you feel [[the Father]]'s love. And see if you can direct it into that actual place of need and ask that the Father's will prevail. As you do this, join hands together, as I pray for our Father and Mother's [[presence]] to add into your prayerful [[desire]]. (Long Pause)
