Changes

Elyon (Jonathan TR): Greetings, this is Elyon. We have traveled through time many years. We are expecting many more to follow in association as a nexus within this Teaching Mission. It is much to my benefit our association, and I have received from you words of similar expression. I know that my supervisors are quite capable of arranging people into groups for maximum benefit to each personality, and our group has proven their skill quite accurate.

You approach another day of demarcation, your New Year. It is a fitting custom for you all on your world to take stock of the close of one cycle and anticipate the potentials of a new cycle and to assert your will such that you may determine what potentials you desire to see manifest come about. We in the realms of morontia do likewise respect such days wherein we can also gather our minds and project our course for the time ahead. Naturally this position of reflection is healthy, but it is also worthwhile to undertake not only at the year but at the end and the beginning of a new day.

Reflection upon the past increases insight, which is beneficial toward your future. As you sit in stillness and cherish the moment of divine presence your mind is illuminated by the light of spirit, and in such clarity you are afforded a perspective of your previous actions which stimulates a response to mota. The response to mota is successful when you connect your actions of the past with your hopes toward the future. Therein you discern the connecting link, you derive the meaning and value of experience, and are keyed to better be able to act or react according to your higher ideals as events unfold before you. Such a time of reflection and projection is always enriched when you welcome and reside with the Father's spirit. This fellowship is in the moment of present time. This partnership is what makes it possible for you to see more deeply into your past and toward your future.

In the presence of God you have a reflective other, an other which truly is beyond your greatest estimation of the best that God could be, and this, while like a standard yet greater, for the standard is the Father of all, overlays a higher perspective than would merely be held viewed by the human self alone. In that communion you are afforded the power of spirit to make choices that are beneficial to your progress, choices that may be difficult for the human self to accept, but when hand in hand with God, the correct decision becomes clear.

To become sensitive to the overlay of morontia mota upon your human condition, you are most successful when you are clearly situated in the present, conscious of the Father, and then actively seeking balance between your past and your future. This may be viewed visually as a plus sign where the vertical member represents God above and the present below, your past and future the horizontal member. You in awareness reside in the center. There is then the possibility for multiple relationships between the four points and the center. It is in this interconnection that you grasp on the level of soul the meaning of mota.

It is common to consider a time of stillness as a time to withdraw from the world events, to regroup within oneself, to praise and worship God, to clear the mind, to center, to push away the distractions, to simplify the thoughts, to reorient what is important above that which is merely pulling and pushing at you. All these expectations in stillness are worthwhile, but there is also an added benefit which is the experience to be had by exercising a sense of expansion, of extension, of broadening your being. So stillness becomes a reaching outward, upward, and beyond oneself. In such a state of mind and soul you are approaching the Creator's perspective, that being one which views

This new year on your calendar approaches and so does the new cycle of planetary advancement for the mortals of Urantia with the arrival of our Magisterial Son and the staff of volunteers that accompany him. They too are reflecting upon the events that have led up to this time wherein a mission of this sort is deemed appropriate, that they too are assessing the direction that this planet may go in that will bring enough transformation to establish momentum within civilization that human beings will continue the growth on their own, stimulated by their celestial brothers and sisters. But your experience will not be substituted by the actions of your cosmic brethren. This stimulation for the whole planet is in a sense a form of focus much like stillness for an individual. It is a marked point in planetary progress wherein all those who are assigned and who have volunteered to assist this world take stock, reflect, and project.

I have finished expressing my thoughts, and I offer the remaining time for discussion or questions, if that be your desire.

Jada: I'm not very clear on what mota is; what I know is from The Urantia Book. Could you expand on that?
