Prayer by KLARIXISKA (Virginia):
+
February 13, 2005
  
−
Father-God, we thank you that whatever our need is, You are willing to meet that need. We need comfort; You are the comforter. We need healing; You are the One who heals. We need love; You are the one who loves. We need peace; You are the One who provides that. We need insight; You are the One who gives us that.
+
Opening prayer: (Nancy)
  
−
Our thanks tonight as we listen to the words of the unseen teachers, that we might have this insight for each being that is present in this home tonight. In the name of the Great One. Amen
+
MINEARSIA: My dear children, students, and friends, I am Minearsia. I have been given the privilege of opening this session with prayer.
  
−
DANIEL (Bob S.): This is Daniel, I greet you my friends, my colleagues, my fellow seekers of the truth, as provided to you by those of us who have volunteered for this time of correction.
+
Allow the anxiety and concerns, distractions to melt away. Allow the Father’s love to swell up within your heart, within your soul. May you feel its golden light fill the cavity of your being and extend to encompass your siblings in prayer with you, first in the localized room, and then allow it to expand. Put those for whom you have concern into the light, into the center. Take your concerns into the center; offer them to the all-encompassing, never-ending love of the Father. Feel your receptivity open and expand that wisdom may pass easily through, as nourishment does from the mother to the developing! embryo.
  
−
My purpose tonight is to greet you all and introduce our speaker and the lesson for this evening. We have been amazed and delighted with the quality of questions, which you have asked and the depth of understanding your questions suggest. Tonight we have another lesson, and a different speaker will assume that responsibility. One moment please.
+
Father we thank You for this opportunity to serve You in this amazing time upon Urantia. Your children hear Your call and they answer in their hearts; they respond. These students with us here today are desiring to know You and to know how they can make a difference. May our words as teachers provide nourishment, provide assistance, and provide a loving example. Glory to You O Father.
  
−
AARON (Bob D.): This is Aaron, greetings my friends. Let me preface my comments this evening with the awareness that we actually intend to deliver a three-part synthesis on love and the manifestation of love this evening.
+
Silence
  
−
I encourage your own reception; you contact personalities (TRs), such that you may be in the space if the need should arise for you to deliver part of the lesson this evening.
+
I am Minearisa. I will continue. My dear friends, these times upon Urantia are a unique opportunity for…
  
−
You have, many of you, heard it said "that love is the desire to do good to others," and yet you have also been told to "love yourself," an apparent contradiction. But in reality, there is a perspective here worth sharing that may be able to illuminate the concept of love tonight such that it is less romantic, less ownership oriented, and more of an intention and energy to do what is right.
+
(Note: The session was interrupted with recorder problems, child interruptions, and teleconferencing connection difficulties.)
  
−
Can one desire to do good to others—to themselves? And the answer is Yes. The statement does not say the desire to make one feel better, or the desire to solve another’s problems, but rather a desire to do good to others. Doing good can often be difficult in the sense that if one is proceeding in error, loving them is correcting them.
+
Dear friends, we are chuckling at your technical difficulties. Your interruptions and the mini chaos of this meeting are in many ways reflective of life on Urantia. Learning to connect in the daily routine, with the distractions, the frustration, the ups and downs is part of what we strive to assist you with. For as you learn to strengthen your connection and stay in-tune despite these ripples, your lives become more sane, for your awareness of the Father’s presence increases, and the Father is sanity. And so we smile and offer this comment as introduction. Once again, I will return to my presentation for the evening.
  
−
There is a fine difference between love-of-self and love-for-self. It should be realized that our encouragement to love yourself is not an attempt to inspire you, to "puff you up," such that you can have a false sense of glorification of self, but rather that you honor that Other within you, by truly attempting to do good.
+
Life on Urantia offers unique opportunities for growth that are rare in the universe of universes. You are aware of the unique circumstances of your planet, which led to the bestowal of your Creator Son on this planet, of his many inhabited planets. And so life on Urantia is unique. But these times upon Urantia provide opportunities that are in themselves unique because of the Correcting Time.
  
−
The awareness that there are multiple aspects of your being comprised of a personality, an ego, and a divine monitor, allows you the opportunity to understand that doing good to yourself is the uplift of the higher, rather than false satisfaction of the lower.
+
You live in historical times. The eyes of the universe are focused on this planet and the decisions, individual and collective, that you are making.
  
−
To one who has lived a life with a strong sense of goodness and relationship, and wholeness from the nurturing of spirit as it manifests through the parents and the social climate, this person does not require a great degree of tutelage on loving one’s self. But on a world where the systems are broken and the patterns afford mixed messages constantly such that the vibrational level of most beings is agitated, this recognition of the basic love for one’s self is a foundation block to all other learning.
+
History has times of great change and upheaval and times of relative calm. History is very much like the waters of a river. When the river is young, there are drops and steep sections through which the water tumbles rapidly and then smoothes and becomes serene, moving through beautiful pools before rushing forward once again. As rivers mature and the land becomes aged, the waters are deep but sure and move steadily. You live in times between the young and the mature, and in a section of the river that is beginning to move swiftly.
  
−
Once you recognize that you are worthy of God’s love, and you understand your rolE in that partnership within you, you will be able to more adequately apply the concept of desiring to do good to others in the world at large.
+
The purpose of my comments with regard to the river is to illustrate one aspect of change and to help define the coming sequence. However just as an experienced kayaker or rafter does not fear the faster moving water, with the drops and currents, but rather looks forward to and seeks out such water for the joy of the engagement, so, too, does the individual with spiritual insight and desire for growth not fear the rougher waters.
  
−
At this time, I will withdraw and allow another to speak. Thank you.
+
The experienced boater, sits above the difficult stretches, studies them carefully, and determines what approach he or she will take to make it through the stretch of difficult water. The spiritual aficionado has not the ability to look into the future as the boater does to read the water. Instead, the spiritual aficionado seeks within, seeks the Father, the one source of perfect knowledge, the One who knows the flow of the river, who knows the way through the rapids. And so the spiritual aficionado feels thrill, excitement, and confidence because of this training.
  
−
MINEARISA (Nancy): Greeting my dear friends and students, I am Minearsia, making my appearance among you verbally this evening. And I introduce you to Jedidiah, who desires an opportunity to debut his skills as a teacher this evening. I will return to close with the third part of the presentation. Jedidiah wishes to speak through his student and charge, if he is willing and able. Otherwise, alternatives are available.
+
Now, I do not wish to imply that those who think of rapidly changing times with apprehension are not spiritual seekers, no! I am simply referring to a fact of living (which is true every day) that you do not have control (as much as many of you would desire) over even the day-to-day events of your life. Things happen.
  
−
JEDIDIAH (Ron): Good evening. My name is Jedidiah. Thank you for welcoming me and allowing me this opportunity to share with you, my brothers and sisters.
+
What you do have control over is how you decide to react. And so while uncertainty, concern, and fear, are natural responses to change, these responses can be reprogrammed such as in the Pollyanna glad game in which seemingly unpleasant events are examined to find how one could react to them differently.
  
−
The understanding of love here on Urantia has been darkened by the word, for the love of the Father goes beyond a mere word of communication that you use. It is a love that will not prove totally understood while on Urantia, [but] I think will be understood as you progress on your journey.
+
And so these times upon Urantia are unique and provide unique opportunities that are not available on most other planets and are not available to whole orders of beings. And while you may struggle and say "why me," "why now," another response could be "Father show me the way, I will follow You." And as this response is grasped, internalized, embraced, with it comes courage, wisdom, peace, and exorbitant love.
  
−
And what you do for another you do for yourself, and what you do for yourself you do for another. You are all part of the whole. Love is not separated; love is not given in segments or pieces.
+
I am open for questions or comments. I welcome interaction with you.
  
−
It is good for you to desire to continually seek the Father in your stillness time, to grow and to learn of this God that is so unimaginable to your mortal minds. The highest form of love that you can understand, while on Urantia, is seen by your Father, Michael, on his bestowal, and by giving up of yourself for the best, highest good of another.
+
(The group is quiet)
  
−
Thank you for letting me share. Good evening.
+
My friends I would entertain questions or comments in areas other than those directly related to my lesson.
  
−
MINEARISA (Nancy): Thank you Jedidiah for your wise words. And thank you Tobias for the great courage and willingness to be of service to Him whom we all serve at this great time in history, Michael, who has willed the reclamation of his worlds.
+
(The group is quiet)
  
−
And so, my part in this discourse this evening is to address the manifestation of love upon Urantia, in this time, in this place, and in this group.
+
Then let me wish those of you who will be journeying over the next timeframe a safe journey. We look forward to the gathering in Albuquerque and the great light that is generated in such an undertaking.
  
−
Many years ago now, I introduced the concept of relationship building, and discussed the reality of the totality of relationship. All that is, is in relationship. The quality and the understanding and knowledge of those relationships vary. And part of the curriculum is to better understand and develop these relationships.
+
Ron, my friend, be assured that you will have a plethora of spiritual supporters in your adventure.
  
−
Now, the first and fundamental relationship (relationships) is with God the Father, First Source and Center, Michael, and Mother Nebadonia. These relationships are developed through desire and through stillness.
+
Please stand; hold hands.
  
−
The second most significant relationship is the relationship of yourself to yourself, and it is in this area that Aaron addressed the desire to do good to yourself, to grow and [to] become the likeness of the personality bestowed by the Father.
+
DANIEL: I am Daniel here to share my love with you.
  
−
And then there are the myriad of other relationships, the relationships each of you have one to the other, the relationships that you have with your siblings, the relationship you have to your home, Urantia, and the environment, your roll within institutions, which become pseudo relationships.
+
Father be with these our friends and students as they part company to pursue individual and collective growth. May they grasp Your hand and walk with You. May they feel the warmth of Your ever-present love. And may they know Your comfort and Your peace. Until we are rejoined as one, go in peace.
−
 
 
−
Tonight we send you with an assignment: to consider yourself in this group, to consider your relationship to the group as an abstract, and to each individual within the group. Allow God’s will and the assistance of your cheerleaders and personal assistants to guide you in this assignment.
 
−
 
 
−
Ask yourself questions such as:
 
−
 
 
−
What value do I gain from my relationship to the group?
 
−
 
 
−
What value do I perceive in each of my relationships?
 
−
 
 
−
How might I enhance and further these relationships?
 
−
 
 
−
What could I bring that I am holding back?
 
−
 
 
−
Why do I hold these gifts back?
 
−
 
 
−
What could I reveal that would express the Father’s love?
 
−
 
 
−
And so forth.
 
−
 
 
−
Bob D.: Sounds like a lot of assignment. Just kidding.
 
−
 
 
−
(pause)
 
−
 
 
−
MinearIsa: The pause is for Pam Ella to refocus, and my response of course is to be amused. These are merely suggestions of the type of question you might ask. I do not see pens and paper among you. I see no one busy scribbling notes. They are intended to be suggestive.
 
−
 
 
−
But this exercise is not limited to [an analysis of your relationship to] this group, although applied here. It is a first step in developing the ministry of relationship healing of your larger institutions of which this is a protected subset with the unified goal of knowing the Father and doing His will.
 
−
 
 
−
Are there question as to the intent of the assignment this week?
 
−
 
 
−
Ken: In other words you are asking us the purpose of life. (humor)
 
−
 
 
−
MinearIsa: My dear friend, it is somewhat more limited than that. Have fun.
 
−
 
 
−
Bob D: I like that phrase: the ministry of relationship healing, that’s an interesting use, it sounds like a noble endeavor. I certainly look forward to psychoanalyzing it. . .
 
−
 
 
−
MINEARISA: We look forward to a vibrant and lively discussion next time we meet.
 
−
 
 
−
Virginia: The phrase that stuck out in my mind is "what can you reveal that would heal that relationship?" The word that popped into my mind was vulnerability. Because, you know, to be vulnerable means that you really have revealed what you are.
 
−
 
 
−
MINEARISA: Good start my sister. (group comments) You might examine the reasons you pulled back. And so you might examine what it is you fear.
 
−
 
 
−
Virginia: Relationships (laughing). I’ll behave.
 
−
 
 
−
MINEARISA: As I understand it, you will behave tomorrow. (Group laughing)
 
−
 
 
−
Virginia: You know me too well Minearsia.
 
−
 
 
−
MINEARISA: You have stated this even in this group. Please stand, hold hands.
 
−
 
 
−
DANIEL(Bob S.): This is Daniel, let us be at prayer.
 
−
 
 
−
We reach out to the guardians of our universe in faith, in trust, in love. But seeking to discover more faith, more trust, more love, as we travel our individual paths to the Source of all that is. Go with these, my friends, my colleagues, and the staff this week, as we each attempt to grow spiritually. We open our hearts, our very beings to You, the Source of all that is knowing that in You lie our futures. Amen

Urantia Affords Unique Opportunities and Lessons

February 13, 2005

Opening prayer: (Nancy)

MINEARSIA: My dear children, students, and friends, I am Minearsia. I have been given the privilege of opening this session with prayer.

Allow the anxiety and concerns, distractions to melt away. Allow the Father’s love to swell up within your heart, within your soul. May you feel its golden light fill the cavity of your being and extend to encompass your siblings in prayer with you, first in the localized room, and then allow it to expand. Put those for whom you have concern into the light, into the center. Take your concerns into the center; offer them to the all-encompassing, never-ending love of the Father. Feel your receptivity open and expand that wisdom may pass easily through, as nourishment does from the mother to the developing! embryo.

Father we thank You for this opportunity to serve You in this amazing time upon Urantia. Your children hear Your call and they answer in their hearts; they respond. These students with us here today are desiring to know You and to know how they can make a difference. May our words as teachers provide nourishment, provide assistance, and provide a loving example. Glory to You O Father.

Silence

I am Minearisa. I will continue. My dear friends, these times upon Urantia are a unique opportunity for…

(Note: The session was interrupted with recorder problems, child interruptions, and teleconferencing connection difficulties.)

Dear friends, we are chuckling at your technical difficulties. Your interruptions and the mini chaos of this meeting are in many ways reflective of life on Urantia. Learning to connect in the daily routine, with the distractions, the frustration, the ups and downs is part of what we strive to assist you with. For as you learn to strengthen your connection and stay in-tune despite these ripples, your lives become more sane, for your awareness of the Father’s presence increases, and the Father is sanity. And so we smile and offer this comment as introduction. Once again, I will return to my presentation for the evening.

Life on Urantia offers unique opportunities for growth that are rare in the universe of universes. You are aware of the unique circumstances of your planet, which led to the bestowal of your Creator Son on this planet, of his many inhabited planets. And so life on Urantia is unique. But these times upon Urantia provide opportunities that are in themselves unique because of the Correcting Time.

You live in historical times. The eyes of the universe are focused on this planet and the decisions, individual and collective, that you are making.

History has times of great change and upheaval and times of relative calm. History is very much like the waters of a river. When the river is young, there are drops and steep sections through which the water tumbles rapidly and then smoothes and becomes serene, moving through beautiful pools before rushing forward once again. As rivers mature and the land becomes aged, the waters are deep but sure and move steadily. You live in times between the young and the mature, and in a section of the river that is beginning to move swiftly.

The purpose of my comments with regard to the river is to illustrate one aspect of change and to help define the coming sequence. However just as an experienced kayaker or rafter does not fear the faster moving water, with the drops and currents, but rather looks forward to and seeks out such water for the joy of the engagement, so, too, does the individual with spiritual insight and desire for growth not fear the rougher waters.

The experienced boater, sits above the difficult stretches, studies them carefully, and determines what approach he or she will take to make it through the stretch of difficult water. The spiritual aficionado has not the ability to look into the future as the boater does to read the water. Instead, the spiritual aficionado seeks within, seeks the Father, the one source of perfect knowledge, the One who knows the flow of the river, who knows the way through the rapids. And so the spiritual aficionado feels thrill, excitement, and confidence because of this training.

Now, I do not wish to imply that those who think of rapidly changing times with apprehension are not spiritual seekers, no! I am simply referring to a fact of living (which is true every day) that you do not have control (as much as many of you would desire) over even the day-to-day events of your life. Things happen.

And while you may struggle and say "why me," "why now," another response could be "Father show me the way, I will follow You." And as this response is grasped, internalized, embraced, with it comes courage, wisdom, peace, and exorbitant love.

I am open for questions or comments. I welcome interaction with you.

Then let me wish those of you who will be journeying over the next timeframe a safe journey. We look forward to the gathering in Albuquerque and the great light that is generated in such an undertaking.

Ron, my friend, be assured that you will have a plethora of spiritual supporters in your adventure.

Please stand; hold hands.

DANIEL: I am Daniel here to share my love with you.

Father be with these our friends and students as they part company to pursue individual and collective growth. May they grasp Your hand and walk with You. May they feel the warmth of Your ever-present love. And may they know Your comfort and Your peace. Until we are rejoined as one, go in peace.
