Changes

[[Creatures]] such as yourselves [[analyze]], look around, determine their environment and their standings, [[formulate]] their [[opinions]], and go about their actions all based upon the [[perception]] of the pattern of reality existent to them. When this pattern of reality is shifted, then individuals involved naturally reorient themselves to this new overlay of pattern and determine their new function within this new pattern of reality. The [[boundaries]] may shift; the [[definitions]] may [[adjust]]; the [[functions]] may alter, and yet the [[pattern]] overlay will provide the necessary [[guidance]] and [[limitations]] of [[adjustment]]. This will be a new [[reality]] for all the world; even your [[leaders]] will not escape the effects of this pattern overlay. You as individuals who are remaining aware will quickly establish your new [[identities]] within this pattern and formulate your new roles as you come to [[understand]] them. It is a matter of [[adaptation]] of the old to the new, of the upstepment of the current ways of thinking to the embracing of the expanded [[viewpoint]]. It is the expansion of the previous [[horizon]] of mankind. It is truly the [[dawning]] of a [[new age]] wherein a new reality will reign [[supreme]]. It is merely the growing [[pains]] and the adjustment of that which is into that which will be.

Jonathan: The [[Urantia Book]] says that when [[physical]] conditions are ripe it's prime for sudden mental [[changes]]. When mental conditions are fortuitous, there can be sudden [[spiritual]] [[transformation]]. Sudden [[genetic]] changes happen in life. The [[Supreme]] we're told is more like the [[gentle]] wearing [[action]] of a [[stream]] than the [[cataclysm]] of an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earrthquake earthquake]. Between these two [[extremes]], how can we apply these perspectives to the coming [[Magisterial mission]]? Can you give us a gauge like from one to ten, [[shock]] to [[gradual]] emergence, where do we fall on that line?

Elyon: Having the benefit of your [[reference]] text you have gained some sense of the many times in [[Part 3|your planet's history]] when major [[events]] occurred and all aspects subsequent to that were thus effected by these events. However, on some occasions the initial event itself was not necessarily a wholesale event of great magnitude, but rather the lasting [[effects]] from such an event have proved throughout time to be great in their effect. This day of which we are so pleased to [[witness]] brings about one of those [[pendulum]] swings on your world wherein spirit will take one giant leap for its [[recognition]]. Yet for [[mankind]] this is but one more small [[step]] in your [[journey]]. The magnitude of this [[change]] will register on many different levels. Your [[individual]], personal levels will register the change of the [[awareness]] of this age. [[Your planet]] will register as having encountered this event of an age. [[Your system]] will register similar effects from such a wholesale event onto your world.
