Changes

[[The Father]] [[loves]] you all. His love is [[pure]], always true. It [[flows]] out from His [[home]] in [[paradise]]. It is the [[tide]] that never turns, the [[Wind|breeze]] that always blows strong, the [[sky]] that never changes. We invite you to join in [[the Father]]'s life and the growing [[love]] of this [[family]] gathered here tonight. It is the Father's will that it be so and He looks down from Heaven with love in His [[heart]]. I bid you good night. God [[bless]] you all. I am your teacher and I love you. [[Shalom]].

Desmond's [[group]] will come to fruit, in the area originally intended, with the people originally intended. We cannot force or maneuver people against their will. It is forbidden even to maneuver people who have [[expressed]] disinterest by their overt [[acts]], in the service of [[the Kingdom]]. Only those who have consciously [[embraced]] [[the Father]]'s will, and those whose [[acts]] have shown them to be amenable to [[alternative]] views of [[reality]], may be utilized overtly or [[covertly]] to facilitate [[developments]]. With the [[hostile]], and the dullards, we can do nothing, and these abound. For Desmond, however, since he so enjoys the fellowship of the Tallahassee group, we recommend frequent [[visits]] to the Sunday night meetings, as the time is available to him. He is already aware of the [[attractions]] of the Tallahassee family, and will benefit greatly from your [[welcome]], if so offered. You people are [[favored]] in Heaven, and you may show him a good [[service]], and thereby [[influence]] the development of another group with your excellent example of loving fraternity.

The events of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=1991-02-01-Ham_To_General_Council the Brotherhood meeting] almost fell to the level of a [[waste]] of time. The [[minds]] of the [[participants]] barely rose above the level of [[material]] [[expectation]]. I see more [[reverence]] displayed at any deer hunter's tree stand than displayed in Los Angeles. You people feel and express [[disappointment]] because your [[expectations]] were not fulfilled, but I say to you that the failing is among your people. The least intimation that we offer causes the [[minds]] of the people to [[abandon]] all personal [[responsibility]] for their own [[values]]. They immediately demand bread; they demand works; they demand [[visions]]. It is as if I were back among the [[tribes]], who slaughtered and burnt in the name of the [[fear]] god, and called the smoke [[holy]].

Little do you [[realize]] how tenuous these [[connections]] are. Our commitment is strong, powerful, true, and unfailing. But we will not play the [[music]] that the people [[desire]] to hear. They will turn aside from [[the Kingdom]], as they have before. From within and without, whether the camps of [[Israel]] or the camp of [[Urantia Book]] [[readers]], many are present only for meat and fire and companionship. And when the word of [[the Father]] rings out, they will disappear by ones and twos, back to the night sands. It is [[difficult]] even for the [[steadfast]] to stand firm. You, Ron and Cathy, and the Utah visitors, know now how [[the Father]] felt, watching the people melt away from the least flicker of His flame. It is discouraging. We, above, have [[difficulty]] even maintaining [[communication]] with our devoted [[human]] [[partners]] under these circumstances.
