Changes

I wish to welcome all of you here this evening and conclude my remarks with the [[assurance]] that all peoples of this planet, [[Urantia]], are under great and loving concern, beyond most people's wildest [[dreams]]. Your lives are not as actors on a stage with no [[audience]], with no props, with no script; your lives are crafted by your [[choices]] as you access spiritual [[opportunity]]. I greet you my brothers and sisters with fatherly love. Another awaits to speak. Good evening."

Aaron (Bob): "Greetings. I am Aaron. Good evening, friends. Tonight I would spend a few moments underlining much of our reason for initiating [[contact]] with [[mortals]] such as yourselves. As our Melchizedek friend has mentioned in passing, the [[trials]] and [[tribulations]] which have marked [[this planet]]'s past due to [[rebellion]] and [[default]]. I have been involved with various orders of celestials serving under the [[watchcare]] of our [[Master Son|Sovereign]], [[Christ Michael]], to aid in the initiation of spiritual [[insight]] and to the [[consciousness]] of forward-seeking human beings for the [[purpose]] of instilling a sense of [[worthiness]] to your efforts at [[progression]], becoming higher minded and spiritually [[focused]].

To [[mortal]] beings who are striving to [[experience]] life, to [[understand]] the [[truth]] and to grow and [[become]] more than what they have been previously, these [[motivations]] and drives are those very initiators which allow us the [[opportunity]] to work within your willingness to enhance your [[vision]] and to instill spiritual [[purpose]] within your being. There is no really great and [[glorious]] mission to fulfill; there is no place that you need to be other than where you are doing what you do.

Truly the [[awareness]] of your [[connection]] to a larger [[family]] goes beyond material brotherhood and sisterhood. These [[realizations]], as they are incorporated within, bring about a different [[lifestyle]] and manner of living; for no longer should you be concerned with [[spiritual]] [[status]], where you are headed, whether you are [[worthy]] of [[salvation]]. When human beings recognizes that they are connected to a large family of universe beings that live in the realization of one God and serve each other with the loving kindness, beauty and grace our Creator bestows upon them. There dawns the realization that you are loved and that failure is not the destiny of any who would seek truth and yearn for goodness. All who want to know, will know, regardless of any perceived weaknesses. It is the desire to know God that brings you closer to that Source. And therefore, having gained this spiritual awareness and purpose in life, you are able to offer these awareness through your living and your lifestyle to those who come in to contact with you. So our initiations become their initiations and we find that we are all working towards one supreme purpose, to unify our family, to bring a consciousness of worth and value to all universe beings, to recognize the kinship and siblingship that we hold. This is the very purpose for which we make contact with you who seek to know, so that we may initiate a sense of family between all free-will creatures.

Minearisa (Cathy): "Greetings, this is Minearisa, with a brief commentary this evening. Your progression may be thought of as a staircase, but not one that extends infinitely in one direction. It may be thought of as a spiral staircase. And this evening, it is important for me to convey that although you spend much time and energy looking forward considering just how high that next step is, how you're going to get a toehold or handhold to haul yourself up to meet these new goals, you should occasionally stop, sit down, and reflect upon just how far you have come. The issues that you deal with on one level of the staircase will be presented to you again as you progress around and meet that same issue from a higher perspective -- similar issue, different perspective. And you may think of the assistance available to you in the form of teachers and various celestials as both a handrail going up that you can lean upon and as a guardrail.

Virginia: "Minearisa, I know that you've already said that the correcting time is not limited to just the Teaching Mission, and for that I am very grateful, but I wonder how you know when people will enter a teaching mission group. Is it because you make it your responsibility to know the friends and family members of those you enter a TM group?

 

Virginia: "Minearisa, I know that you've already said that the [[correcting time]] is not limited to just the [[Teaching Mission]], and for that I am very [[grateful]], but I wonder how you know when people will enter a teaching mission group. Is it because you make it your [[responsibility]] to know the friends and family members of those you enter a TM group?

Virginia: "Often the teachers say, as you have done tonight, Minearisa, that newcomers have been known for some time. My questions is, when an individual, let's say in the case of Barbara, entered the teaching group a year and a half ago, do you at that time, as teachers of the teaching mission group, make it your responsibility to seek out friends and members of the new member? Then you can say, 'I've known you for some time.' I'm just trying to figure out the logic of this. I know that I as a teacher certainly take it upon myself to know the family of my students but you'd have to travel a long way in this case."

Minearisa: "I do not fully [[understand]] your question, could you please reframe?"

Minearisa: "Indeed we are always aware of those who impact our students directly or indirectly. We encourage each person's individual growth in a manner which they can accept and deal with. Many are drawn to this type of forum because it appeals to them on a heart level. Others are influenced more profoundly in other forms, as was discussed tonight, for example, experiencing nature and God energy through their perception of nature. If your question is, 'do we focus primarily on those directly involved in the teaching mission effort to a greater degree than others who are not,' the answer is no, we simply find other means of touching those lives. Does this answer your question?"

Virginia: "I think so, Minearisa, yes. I was just curious, because as I said, often you say that; and I realize that when friends and family visit, then you are aware of them. But you said 'for some time,' and therefore I just assumed that the celestials are really aware of much more than perhaps I give them credit for."

Daniel (Bill): "This is Daniel. I wish to respond. Your assumption that celestials are aware of much more is accurate. If you had any sense of the coordination which occurs among the Angelic corps, between guardian Seraphim, which also involves the Midwayers, you would be astounded. There is no human analogy adequate for comparison. The intelligence agencies of your nations are as clowns in contrast to the skill of celestial government. The Thought Adjustors share a common circuit originating in Divinington which coordinates their involvement with a mortal host. There is perfect synchronicity between the Thought Adjustors' plans and the work of the Third Source and Center through the Divine Minister and her Seraphim. All mortals of will status are known to the universe Censors, and by reflectivity there is so much information available, that again, I would say, would astound you. Do not be surprised when we say we know you. Have I filled in the picture a little more adequately, my dear?"

Virginia: "Yes, Daniel, I thank you for the reminding of the work of the Seraphim, and the fact that there are those other celestials. Sometimes I do get single-eyed, when the picture is much broader than that. Thank you very much."

Daniel: "I wish to ask you a question. Letah, my dear, what is the reason that you posed this question in the first place?"

Virginia: "Daniel, probably because as I said, I often hear you teachers say that newcomers are known; and so, I was just curious to know if the teachers follow, you know, that sort of thing. I do assume that they follow us around and, so I was just curious. Curiosity, I know, kills the cat."

Daniel: "Understood. I do not regard your question as idle curiosity, for actually it bears on the fact of overcare in the universe. This planet, as has been described, does not experience the normal connections which an average world would take for granted. Without a visible planetary administration and because of the quarantine due to the virus of rebellion many people assume that there is no life in the universe save on this one sphere, and that all life is accidental in a purely materialistic, non-cognitive universe. So I am glad to help answer your question because it demonstrates how totally wrong this pessimistic, but understandable, world view is. Are there other questions or comments?"

Virginia: "Teachers, I do have another thought, question that I . .. if it can be commented on. People of all ages this year, and I mean little children, first, second, and third graders, and not just from my class, but children out on the yard, and peers that have talked about their own children and certainly adults that I have talked to have said that time just seems to be speeding up, that the years are going by so very fast. Is this a result of our materialistic attitude, a result of the technology that we are experiencing, or is it part of the correcting time? And I'm very sincere when I ask this question."

Aaron (Bob): "I will speak on this. You are correct that many perceive that there is an acceleration of time. Let me first state that no magical button has been pushed to accelerate time; we are not initiating an acceleration. Rather it is the modern age and human beings have found a plethora of distractions to take their time. With the computerized age, the enhanced visual imagery and diversionary nature of electronic equipment such as televisions, computers, many find themselves without enough time, they perceive, to do all that they want to do; as well many have become experts in the business of busying themselves with things to do. Activities abound in communities everywhere. Relaxation, peacefulness, these activities which promote such a state of being have gone into competition with the manifold opportunities which now lie at your fingertips.

Let me say that the reality is not necessarily negative on all levels, although the sacrifice of free time does put a damper on the wonderful creative nature of a restful and pondering mind. Yet the world as it is progressing is offering the capabilities to access knowledge at a much higher degree than at any time previously, which can allow for the development of personalities into areas which have not yet been accessed and upstepping of mortal evolution. The overall nature of your question, other than simply saying that we recognize what many of you recognize in this age, is a difficult one to answer and to cover thoroughly without spending a goodly amount of time weighing in the pros and cons. Are you understanding my meaning here?"
