You know from your [[experience]] as a [[mortal]] of this realm the [[necessity]] to press on at any cost, whatever the cost, to be [[loyal]] to your deepest [[convictions]] of [[truth]], and you are well experienced, perhaps more than you would prefer, at how [[difficult]] and sometimes [[painful]] such a [[mandate]] is to press on. In this time of [[accelerated]] [[growth]] all of you have found it [[necessary]] to let go of many [[things]] that you held dear at one point in your [[journey]]. You may not have [[literally]] burned it in some sort of [[ceremonial]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effigy effigy], but you have certainly had to leave behind much, even [[everything]] in this world that you [[desired]], to gain the [[prize]] of [[the kingdom]] within, the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parable_of_the_Pearl pearl of great price].

And yet what do we behold in this [[spiritual]] [[dominion]] if not [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridge bridges] themselves, bridges that are made, not of [[human]] substance, nor anything that you could [[touch]]. The spiritual [[dominion]] is characterized by [[circuitries]] that [[act]] as bridges that link us even in this [[moment]] allowing us to [[confer]] with one another across the [[boundaries]] of your [[spatial]] [[limitations]]. And in your world you have increasingly [[manifested]] [[infrastructure]] that acts as this [[spiritual]] [[circuitry]], yes again, even such as we use now to [[dialog]] with one another.

These bridges behind you that you [[visit]] no more because they are no more is simply the [[scaffolding]] you have benefitted from, that has enabled you to [[grow]] into this [[state]] where you find us gathered [[together]]. I know each of you has [[treasured]] every [[stage]]. You have [[invested]] your whole [[heart]] into these arenas as if they were all there was, and when you invest wholeheartedly in anything other than the [[dominion]] of [[spirit]], [[the kingdom]] of God, the state of [[divine]] [[love]], you will necessarily [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_of_no_return burn that bridge]. Why? because it cannot withstand the [[energy]] of this [[investment]] of your [[soul]]. There is only one thing that deserves and can [[receive]] your wholehearted, [[consecrated]] [[devotion]].

===='''''[[Consecration]]'''''====

Having found [[our Father]], [[the Source]] of [[all things]] whose [[fire]] dwells within you and will [[eventually]] yield your [[eternal]] [[union]], you will then burn the bridge of [[mortality]], but certainly you will not do it out of anything but [[simply]] the [[investment]] of your [[love]]. Your [[mortal]] [[body]] will be [[surrendered]], and already you have surrendered so much that your mortal [[body]] has depended upon, and behold, you are [[manifesting]] the many, many bridges, these emerging lanes of [[light]] that will never burn, that will never disappear, for these are [[eternal]], and they are [[worthy]] of your whole [[heart]], your whole [[soul]], the [[consecration]] of your being.

Nothing else can rise to this station of [[value]], but [[mortals]] are well acquainted with the need for [[material]] [[scaffolding]] to lift you [[progressively]] into this [[space]], and so it is, your [[civilization]], look all around you, is disintegrating, it is falling like a bridge that has been [[abandoned]], and in some cases your [[infrastructure]] is [[literally]] [[burning]]. My [[friends]], it is not as a result of [[malice]]. It is a result of the rising [[tide]] of [[illumination]] which has left behind these things of former [[association]]. These arenas where you once [[played]] as [[spiritual]] [[children]], and you were given many [[things]] to [[exercise]] your [[imaginations]] in these various [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandpit sandboxes] of [[learning]], but the [[time]] upon us is occasioned by your own [[emergence]] into a [[maturity]] of [[soul]]-hood that finds you ready to greet as [[peers]] [[Paradise Sons|Paradise personalities]].

Can you allow yourselves the [[beneficence]] to extend this same [[understanding]] to your fellows who would refuse such [[gifts]] now? Can you recall how [[incredulous]] you once were at even the [[idea]] of walking with [[God]]? I know you do, though these former [[stages]] of your life are now a [[part]] of your own [[soul]]’s [[history]] embedded in the [[archives]] of [[Nebadon]], the [[value]] that has accrued through all of these [[episodes]] is [[present]] now. The former [[things]] have disappeared, but the [[spirit]] that is being [[manifest]] now has filled these chasms across which you once built [[material]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridges bridges] that were [[necessary]] in your former [[state]].

It is the [[light]] of the [[spirit]] which has filled these empty places, [[caverns]], seemingly threatening at times, but now you see the open [[plain]] before you, and you are walking with us, and we will cover a great distance together. These bridges so called are unnecessary in this [[state]] because you are the extension of [[the Source]] of [[all things]] [[demonstrating]] the [[omnipresence]] of [[our Father]]. It is just such a living [[demonstration]] in [[mortal]] [[form]], in the [[appearance]] of a [[human]] life that your world will need to fill the many, many voids, the emptiness, the [[chasms]] of [[culture]] that separate [[mortals]] from one another. You will be the very substance over which many will [[Journey|traverse]] in their [[motion]] towards [[Paradise]] beheld now in your very [[presence]].

My [[friends]], thank you for [[sharing]] your lives with each other, and for [[demonstrating]] the [[recognition]] that indeed there are many [[different]] roles to be filled, but every one of them is characterized by the [[union]] of [[souls]] wholeheartedly [[invested]] in the realm of [[our Father]]’s [[spirit]], no longer clinging to the [[material]] forms that once served as these [[scaffoldings]] used to lift you up. You shall be this source of upliftment for your fellows who would refuse a [[part]], any part of [[our Father]] and his [[family]]. For it is not the [[gospel]] of the [[Urantia Book]], it is not the good news of the [[Magisterial Son]], it is not the [[proclamation]] of the coming of [[Teacher Sons]], no, it is not the sensational [[experience]] of seeing a [[Planetary Headquarters]] [[manifest]] upon your world. It is the [[simple]] [[truth]] of [[our Father]]’s [[love]] for all of his [[children]], this simple [[message]] that has been given from the beginning and will be enriched forever. This is the [[source]] of our [[union]].
