Lantarnek (Jonathan TR): Greetings to you, I am Lantarnek. I welcome every opportunity to express [[light]] through this [[medium]] of [[words]], to share love by way of [[communication]], the acknowledgment of our common [[presence]], fellowship being one with our Father. It is a great trial to many who live in the realm in which you find yourselves. The conditions require such effort. The conditions in which you find yourself on this world often require your attention on matters that appear to distract you from your pursuit of higher [[truth]] of the attainment of a lifestyle more radiant with [[spirit]].

Each of you I perceive to have wrestled with this state of affairs and have developed your ability to infuse your [[ideal]]s of higher spirit living into these mundane affairs. It is healthy to honestly recognize that your [[terrestrial]] events are significant contributors to your [[spiritual]] [[ascension]]. The immediate goal of any task may appear to be short lived and function merely to pay your bills to fill your shelves. But within such undertakings there is a treasure chest of [[experience|experiential]] gems which develop your [[character]], which brings about [[virtue]], which hones your [[personality]] and prepares you for undertakings in the [[morontia]] realms. Often when a human being grasps one's significance in the ''cosmos'' -- and by that I do not mean [[individual]] importance but rather your unique placement in the overall collective -- the assumption results that one merely waits for the moment of ascension beyond this realm to the worlds of true spirit [[value]]. You have learned that your spirit value is found here, that there is no greater training ground for the development of [[soul]].

Happy are they who have come to know that life upon your world is not one of isolation from spirit, that in welcoming the assistance of your higher brethren you are strengthened, you are guided and ushered along the path best suited for you. Michael when living upon your world demonstrated this very approach to life I speak of. While he spoke of being in the world but not of the world, he all the while never condemned the world his Father created. He absorbed the [[experience]]s of life and adjusted them to his [[universe]] outlook. This is how you experience peace on [[earth]]. The battle between spirit and flesh ceases when one understands the value of physical life in a spiritual universe. Through the [[human]] soul spiritual growth is a reach upward to [[Paradise]], but to your divine spirit your life is a reach out into the stretches and edges of the universe.

Just as a magnificent tree, deeply rooted in the earth, each spring puts forth new tips of growth, so does Father extend farther into the depths of [[space]] through living creatures like yourselves. When your daily events appear to be insignificant, remember you are the tip of growth of spirit even out here on this edge of the [[superuniverse]]. I welcome your comments.
