Changes

Father God, thank you for this opportunity to come together again to experience the adventure of You and Your universe and our experience with it.  It’s such a vast undertaking, and it seems sometimes that our lives are incredibly small and insignificant, slow and dull compared to all the things we know are coming. Help us to be patient. And thanks for the connection that You’ve given us with the teachers and the supernals and the midwayers and those who connect with us to assure us that we are not alone out here on the outer rim of the cosmos, that we are actually a part of what’s going on in the overall scheme of things.  Guide our session. Feed our minds with good stuff and thanks again for your loving Spirit.  Amen.

0802-AB Jack here again.  That was a nice prayer, Gerdean.  I noticed you missed pushing one of the buttons, however [Ed.-the button that mutes the bell at the threshold]. Isn’t it fun how the material life is so bound up in pushing the right buttons and in having your buttons pushed in just the right way.  Stimuli and response seem to be the name of the game in the electro-chemical arena in which you live and have your being. Like plants that respond to the sunshine, or animals that respond to loud noises, you also respond to trigger points and words that affect your psyche (and thus your emotions and thus your behaviors) and so, much of what you deal with is as a result of having your buttons pushed … as if in response to stimuli -- whether it be positive or negative stimuli.

I thought I’d come in just to stir things up.  You get into a pattern of receptivity, you hear from certain T/Rs, and you kind of anticipate what you’re going to get, who you’re going to hear from, and it’s nice every now and then to have an outside voice come in and keep you loose, as it were, so that your expectations don’t run the show, so that you are still able to be surprised, pleasantly surprised.

Of course, you all have become somewhat engrained in the paradigm that has developed over these past two decades, in the Teaching Mission, and the Monjoronson Mission, but assuredly there will be more to come: more adaptations, more adjustments, more personalities, more concepts, and you are at liberty to assimilate or reject any and/or all of them.  Personalities, be they supernal or finite, are things that happen as you pass by, and you can pay as much or as little attention to them as you deem appropriate for you under any given circumstances.

I can’t help but notice the big doings regarding the big wigs in the universe.  The Real Big Wigs, even, getting involved in the doings of our little planet here.  I’m glad to see lots of attention being focused on Urantia.  God knows it has needed some attention.  But I hope they don’t overlook the fact that it needs attention from the source – the finite source – the physical source as well as from the Cosmic Source.  Just like peace on earth can’t all occur by what happens in meetings of the Heads of State or in the White House, but really must take place in the streets and neighborhoods of the world’s citizenry, so is Light & Life made actual not by what the master spirits or descending sons or supernaphim are up to, but what we are up to, here, on the bottom – “ground level” as it were.

Yes, we do need help.  We do need encouragement. And it would be great to see some literal intervention.  I agree with you.  I am ready for whenever anyone wants to show up. In fact, I enjoy seeing visitors all the time show up, and do benefit greatly from the fact that I can interact with student visitors and celestials from throughout the region – and beyond!  I am not always at the morning briefings but I certainly get whispers of what’s coming down the pike and sometimes even get a memoranda as to what I ought to be doing to foster and further the situation—yes, one of which is to interact with my mortal friends and associates but, of course, that means they need to open the channel so that we can have this intercourse, this conversation.

You’ll be gone soon.  And I’ll still be here. We will still be here.  And it will be good to have your participation and your contribution established / in effect, in order to build upon what you have done while you are here.  I know all of you have ambitions to foster spirit reality; I know you all anticipate and long for the culmination of cultural and spiritual development such that the planet will enjoy Light&Life; I know you each have ideals as to what that will be like; and I know that each of you do hesitate to spend too much time thinking about what that might be like because you could be accused of chronic yearning, pining over what might be instead of rolling up your sleeves and doing something about what you could be doing now.

“But what is that?” You ask.  “What is that? What can I be doing now?” for everything you do seems to have such little effect. I know each of you have felt at times like a voice in the wilderness.  “Nobody hears me!  Nobody sees me!  Nobody listens to what I’m trying to say. They can’t perceive my heart’s desires.  They won’t believe when I tell them. They won’t read the book I recommend to them. And they don’t know the Master like I know him.” And all those lamentations underscore how ineffectual you think you are.  You don’t have the perspective that I have; and those who are above us have a different perspective than we do … we who live here … we who have this time/space limited paradigm.

Jack:              Well, let’s see now.  Do we know anything about the reflectivity that’s going to occur?

0802-AB:        Well, I don’t know about an event.  I know a little bit about reflectivity.  I have gotten the same lessons you’ve gotten, basically.  Perhaps we have a different understanding as to what reflectivity means.  You know, it reminds me of the harp of God, that mechanical contrivance that allows the weak tones of spirit communications to be amplified so that they can be heard, and I perceive of reflectivation as a similar device, only higher on the mountain.  The harp mechanical device serves at a certain level and then the reflectivation device would serve on a higher level, likely superuniverse as compared to local universe, or local universe compared to system, but the point is, reflectivation allows for communications to go farther.  They are picked up like signals from wherever they are being broadcast and sent out farther to a receiver farther out into the universe, and so the reflectivating is like a device that will allow messages to go farther, just like the harp amplifier enables messages to be louder.
