Changes

[[Dedication]] does not imply eliminating from your [[life]] as it does direct you toward [[manifesting]] in your life. That which hinders and [[separates]] you from [[God]] will fall away as you lose your [[taste]] in these situations. You will enjoy [[peace]] where your life does not [[conflict]] with [[the Father]]'s will, even though the Father has no specific [[command]] in that regards. You will enjoy the exhilaration of being a [[representative]] of the greatest [[Being]] in all [[the universe]], actively and actually letting His [[spirit]] [[flow]] through you, [[touching]] the lives of all around you, working in concert with His [[presence]] in each and every one.

Pause for a moment to consider how special it is to know that you, one simple [[human being]], are working with many, many [[Thought Adjuster|fragments of the Father]] Himself. You are like the batboy in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Series World Series], and you know that around you are the great players of [[eternity]], those [[fragments]] of [[divinity]] resident in all. Through your dedication you come to the [[clarity]] of [[insight]] and the [[attainment]] . .. (some lost) . .. with these spirits. The rewards are innumerable and the [[joys]] unending.

Make it your [[purpose]] to always direct yourself to [[the Father]]. [[Devote]] yourself to the [[reality]] [[manifestation]] of Him, which you have come to know as [[Truth, Beauty, and Goodness|truth, as beauty, as goodness]], and, above all, as [[Michael]]. This [[dedication]] will give you the [[credentials]] to be enlisted in [[universe]] chores which at this [[point]] you cannot even [[fathom]]. As my [[students]] I [[congratulate]] you for your dedication to [[our mission]], your willingness to span the gulf of [[doubt]] with your [[faith]]. The rewards of this [[effort]] you [[taste]] now. Utilize this same [[vigor]] of [[faith]] you have in every aspect of your life. It is my [[pleasure]] to make room for other teachers. Thank you for [[listening]].

J: I'm [[wondering]] if a teacher is present who would like to [[answer]] a [[question]] I have. We have all come to [[accept]] that the [[Urantia Book]] is our [[textbook]] for universe [[orientation]], and that the [[Teaching Mission]] is an [[outreach]] of [[personalities]] where we can all gain greater [[relationship]] with our higher [[brothers and sisters]]. Recently it has come to my [[mind]] that the [[consideration]] of where the [[organizations]] that promoted the Urantia Book stand like [http://www.urantia.org the Foundation]. It seems they don't take a stance one way or the other. Should we be concerned about the Foundation, the [[Urantia Book]], and all the interrelations there with the [[Teaching Mission]]? Or is this something that is just an unneeded burden on our [[hearts]]?

(S as TR) Unidentified teacher: Send that out away from you the [[pressure]] you [[feel]] when organizational [[differences]] arise. What has that to do with why you are here? You are [[simply]] to come forward with the [[understanding]] of [[the Father]] in such a way as to [[enlighten]] those around you with His [[presence]] inside of you. If you are to be effective in ministering to your [[brothers and sisters]] then truly...Gosh, I'm feeling presence...

Malvantia: ...and yet it need not be like the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_to_Damscus road to Damascus], blinding. I am pleased to see the [[respect]] that you give your [[Creator]], that you do not take it lightly. There isn't any reason, however, to be overwhelmed. He [[embraces]] you as a brother and as a friend, though yet he be the very [[source]] of your life, [[existence]].

In your [[doom]] and gloom times find that [[light]] switch that can brighten your day, and commune with [[the Father]] for [[answers]]. Do not allow the [[weather]] to get you down, for there is sunshine within your [[hearts]]. Find the sunshine and the birds [[singing]] each day, for they are there. Sometimes you may have to go deep within yourselves to find this. It is there, my [[friends]], for you to [[unfold]] each day with new [[clarity]] and new [[understanding]], new [[abundance]] within you of what you can accomplish. [[Think]] not of the limitations, rather do a [[polarity]] switch for yourselves, and think of the unlimited [[possibilities]] that you have each day to uncover new [[insights]], to climb higher on the ladder, to seek new [[mountain tops]]. This is all I have. My [[love]] to you.

Evelyn: [http://www.nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=1993-12-01-Elyon#Dedication Last week Elyon spoke about dedication]. This week we are given the [[idea]] of [[comparing]] this [[relationship]] with [[the teachers]] to [[marriage]] which implies [[dedication]]. I was thinking about our assignment to [[practice]] [[telepathy]], and how we practiced that for a while, and we let that drift away. Would you like to see us do that some more? Should we revive that [[exercise]]?

Sharmon: It is a [[procedure]] we [[encourage]] you to undertake. The minimal reward you [[receive]] is the commonality [[shared]] between you, time spent [[focusing]] on a brother or sister with the extra emphasis of sending or receiving, which is more potent than the mere casual [[thought]]. However, it is only the minimal gain. As [[time]] [[unfolds]] for [[your planet]] in its process of [[encircuitment]], this activity will meet with greater [[success]]. It is not to be [[expected]], (the success) in immediacy, but rather, now is the time to [[prepare]] for the greater [[manifestation]] that will follow. This is the time of being a toddler, where walking is a great endeavor. It takes all [[concentration]] and is not always successful. So, it is not a demand that we place upon you, rather an [[encouragement]] so that you may [[strengthen]] your [[mind]] and sharpen the [[intent]] of your will and become [[prepared]] for new chapters in planetary life.

I am treading delicate ground, as this is not my level of [[understanding]], and my assignment to you is not in this field. With [[assistance]] I provide this to you and [[express]] difficulty in conveying this through Jonathan.

Evelyn: I was [[thinking]], aren't [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seaweed seaweeds] a good source of [[minerals]]? I notice that you often stop short of specifics when volunteering [[information]]. If I were to ask, "Are seaweeds a good source of minerals that you need?" would you then be able to answer because I asked, but you can't necessarily [[volunteer]] the information unless we ask?

Elyon: I am not at [[liberty]] to prescribe your remedies. It is because I am not assigned to this [[activity]]. I would offer that there are many [[sources]] wherein you can acquire the [[nutrients]] required for many aspects of your [[body]]. You have [[illustrated]] one. Each individual assimilates differently because of [[racial]] background and, in the case of [[Urantia]], [[biologic]] [[diversity]] and [[weakness]] is widespread. It is hard to say, but you can intake what appears to you to be proper and observe the results. I am not to say any more than this. I'm sorry.
