MERIUM:  Good afternoon, girls, this is Merium.  I was amused at your exchange there and wanted to say that [[men]] and [[women]] are mutually dependent on one another.  It’s a dirty trick, but it’s also life’s greatest [[pleasure]], so you get the bitter with the sweet and you find [[balance]].  This is what it is to live in [[maturity]].  You learn to find balance.  That does not mean that there is not [[value]] in [[movement]] from one side to the other, and placating or [[coercing]], [[intriguing]], exciting, oppressing, and delighting -- almost as a [[dance]], with its own tempo, be it a boogie or a minuet.

===='''''[[Balance]]'''''====

[[Balance]].  It is hard to find balance, really, in a construct where [[everything]] is going around in a [[chaotic]] [[manner]], totally unsettled in civility or order, but just running willy-nilly out of [[energy]], unbridled and untrained, it’s quite a task to remain [[civilized]], and so it is no [[wonder]] that so often all of you are [[guilty]] of rattling someone’s cage, stepping on someone’s toe, being the brunt of someone’s joke, or vice versa, for much of the time.  How delightful it is when your [[Polarity|extremes]] do not carry you too far in either direction, when your [[tenacity]] does not draw blood or when your [[ethereal]] [[nature]] falls short of becoming addle-brained. [[Balance]] is on one hand a struggle for [[survival]] and on the other a path the likes of which are [[pure]] and narrow.

This is a lovely afternoon and there are many lines open.  Are there questions? Are there concerns? Are there complaints? Are there day-[[dreams]]? Are there [[prayers]]?

Renault:  I have a question, maybe.  I have been running into people – [[friends]], [[neighbors]], and other people –whose [[children]] are suffering from mental disorders: [[depression]], bi-polar, just [[weird]] things.  Is this part of that [[generation]]al [[matrix]]? Is it a result of the parental [[lifestyle]]? Or is it just one of those [[things]] that inhabit the [[human]] [[race]] in more of a [[random]] [[pattern]] than being able to say ‘it’s because of this or that.’

MERIUM:  Well, I do think we could probably put our finger on something there as to what’s causing it because it is, in [[fact]], occurring.  And I believe [[Urantia Text|your text]] points it out in the Paper [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_160 Rodan of Alexandria] where it [[discusses]] the [[art of living]] and the [[fact]] that if we are so ingenious as to [[grow]] so fast and learn so much, we will out-run our ability to assimilate it all.

[Ed.-(160: §1; ¶3) The more [[complex]] [[civilization]] becomes, the more [[difficult]] will become the [[art of living]].  The more rapid the [[changes]] in social usage, the more complicated will become the task of [[character]] [[development]].  Every ten generations mankind must learn anew the [[art of living]] if [[progress]] is to continue.  And if man becomes so ingenious that he more rapidly adds to the [[complexities]] of [[society]], the [[art of living]] will need to be remastered in less time, perhaps every single [[generation]].  If the [[evolution]] of the art of living fails to keep pace with the [[technique]] of [[existence]], [[humanity]] will quickly revert to the simple urge of living – the [[attainment]] of the satisfaction of present [[desires]]. Thus will [[humanity]] remain immature; society will fail in growing up to full [[maturity]].]

WHAT ABOUT BOB:  Hi kids. I’m happy to see you at the plow, tilling the fields, fertilizing the soil, planting the seeds, making ready for a new crop; also happy to see you hard at [[work]], Gerdean, on the [[chakra]] [[book]].

WHAT ABOUT BOB:  It’s [[worth]] taking a look at.  People talk about the [[emotional]] [[I.Q.]], but they haven’t really spent much [[time]] or [[energy]] on these [[Adjutant Mind Spirits|adjutant]]/[[chakra]] [[ideas]] of how it is that [[Deity]] indwells you – even electro-[[chemically]].  You might even [[play]] with the idea that you are the electro-chemical and the [[Adjuster]] is the [[personality]] – the true person that emotes through your [[Body|electro-chemical system]] … which is what you will be like, after you [[fuse]].  You will be a [[personality]] able to [[manipulate]] your [[energy]] [[circuits]].  Might as well begin now, don’t you think?

I’m hearing some complaints that there is not enough [[material]] on the latter two adjutants, [[wisdom]] and [[worship]], that even the spirit of council falls short of the [[potential]] [[inherent]] in the groundwork that was established in the first four.  Well, what you see is what you get.  At the time, that’s where we came up to what we could do at that time and there was no time for anything more.  If you want more, you have to invest more time.  It’s not like I couldn’t talk or Lady couldn’t talk for days about the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_65#65:7._EVOLUTIONARY_MIND_LEVELS spirit of worship and the spirit of wisdom], or for that matter, a few paragraphs to embellish if that’s what you want to do.

Renault:  Could you arrange that, Gerdean?

Renault:  Could you arrange that, Gerdean?

Gerdean:  Yes, I probably could arrange that, if that’s what we should do.  

Gerdean:  Yes, I probably could arrange that, if that’s what we should do.

WHAT ABOUT BOB:  It would seem that’s what they want.  Gerdean, you will need to put some more [[work]] in on this [[thing]] – obviously more than you intended to, or wanted to – but if you want to do a bang up job, you’d better make sure you please everybody … or at least as many key people as possible.

From here, the [[Spirit of Truth]] can lead you and all of you where you need to go.  The Spirit of Truth is not a side [[effect]] of the spirit of [[worship]]. Nor is it a side effect of the spirit of wisdom.  It is not a side effect of anything, but is a [[reflection]] of the [[Michael|Master]]’s [[perfect]] [[personality]] presentation.  He always knew how to handle the situation, and always did so with Father’s blessing. He did not take it upon himself to fix it – to fix humanity or its social problems or financial concerns.  He was not a fixer and he was not a fixer-upper; he was a self made man, just as you will be when you go through your [[seven psychic circles]] in [[harmony]] with your seven adjutant mind spirits and when these energy [[vortexes]] invest you with the [[self-mastery]] to walk through life as a son of god, a daughter of [[divinity]] – regal, [[noble]], spiritually fragrant, [[humanly]] [[divine]].  These are the goals. These are the [[challenges]].  This is the undertaking.  And we are well on our way.  We just have to get past this last little hurdle and we’ll be able to enter into the long stretch for some “[[practice]] makes [[perfect]].”  Call me back if you need anything else.  Lady and I will be in your vicinity and [[happy]] to pop in on short notice.  Have a nice afternoon.

MERIUM:  This is Merium again.  It seems the equipment is getting old.  We’re going to have to trade this piece in for a new model.

Renault:  Can’t we just refurbish the old one?

Renault:  Can’t we just refurbish the old one?

   

   

MERIUM:  We could try.  It has been rebuilt a number of times already.  But you know it is true: the baton must be passed at some point – if it is to be passed – and this area needs to be kept on the map.  The spirit of worship demands the reality continuance of the Teaching Mission in the Great Southwest.  So you will need to cultivate it into the [[future]] somehow.  This [[paradigm]] will not last forever.  I’ll be around as long as I am able.

We’ve all been around this afternoon in delight of your company … and look forward to being with you next time we get together.  Enjoy the season. Allow yourselves to unfurl as springtime will unfurl before we meet again.  Have a nice season. Bye-bye.
