If you are a parent you very well remember the first time that you looked upon the face of your newborn child.  It is a time filled with great anxiety, emotion, fear and anticipatory joy. You watch as your wife bears down in response to the latest contraction.  The baby’s head has crowned.  It is time.  The time has come.  The time has come for another little one to come into the world.  Your wife clenches her teeth and gives a final valiant push.  The shoulders pass through the birth canal and just like that the child is born.  You are given a pair of scissors to cut the umbilical cord.  Then the baby is passed to the bosom of it mother.  The mother and father gaze with wonderment at a new creation, their creation.  A union of two souls has led to this moment.  Then it happens.  The parents gaze for the first time at their little one, blinking softly and adjusting to newfound light.

When I look at all of your faces now I see something that you may not be aware of.  You have grown up to become fledgling morontia beings.  You may not think this to be so, but it is like you are all children once again.  You are playing in the sandbox of the morontial worlds.  The wonderment that you all felt as children, and may have thought disappeared, is returning with vigor.  You are all children again watching as a tiny ant picks a crumb off the sidewalk hoisting it up and carrying it back to its fellow ants.

There is something about the various stages of life that you are yet to encounter.  I am not speaking about the various stages of the mortal life.  I am speaking about the various stages of eternal life as you struggle to become one with the your Father fragment.  There is no need for consternation or hand wringing.  At whatever stage you find yourselves in embrace it with joy.  For you are discovering, layer by layer, the Eternal Father.  It is like you are peeling away an orange to discover the delectable fruit that awaits you inside.  You take the first piece and squeeze the sweet juice into your mouth.  There is a refreshing feeling as the juice from the orange slides down your throat and into your stomach.  Each piece of the orange brings with it a new experience.  You think:  “How can this be?”  It is an orange isn’t it?”  Yet each time you eat another slice you experience something different.  Something new is added to you that you had not discerned before.

===='''''[[Truth]]'''''====

====''[[Truth]]''====

Inner Voice: [Henry] Greetings this evening, I am the Inner Voice of this t/r. This evening, I would like to focus some thoughts around the relativity of truth discernment and the personal relationship between the individual and the Adjuster. I was thinking this evening, there is a reason and this reason can be seen on this planet, why the dynamic of the Indwelt Spirit Fragment of the Father and the human mind, there is a reason why this dynamic is designed this way.

The inner personal reality that exists at any moment on the planet is an unimaginable figure, yet these eternal Fragments of the Father are designed to coordinate and dovetail all personal truths so that there is an understanding between humans who understand their own truths. It is very good to study recorded truths, to study the Bible, to study philosophy, to study your Urantia Books, yet the truths in these texts fall short of what you will experience. For example, you may have the most incredibly detailed map of how to get from Maine to Southern California but there is nothing in that map that will show you or give you any indication of what kind of trip you will have from point a, to point b, to point c, and so on. The details are personal yet the map can be impersonal and general.

===='''''[[Urantia Book]]'''''====

====''[[Urantia Book]]''====

Much like a book, at best the Urantia Book intends to bring man to a better awareness. Much restraint was exercised not to take mankind further than where it was in 1935. This was not the purpose of the book. The purpose of the book was to show mankind how they fit in the Grand Universe and that their lives are personable, meaningful, and not in vain. The Urantia Book does not contain all of the information that you will need to know as you begin to traverse to the center of the universe, but like the map from Maine to Southern California, there will be points of interest from time to time as references, yet again, this does not take the place of the personal experience, the journey which each of you will take.

The human mind is designed for discernment. The Universe Mother Spirit Third Person mind adjutants, especially, are designed that the human eventually uses such discernment to make better decisions, to exercise wisdom, to use the intuition, the knowledge and the ability to communicate with others in solving social problems, community problems, family problems, and personal problems.

===='''''[[Discernment]]'''''====

====''[[Discernment]]''====

Discernment, like truth, is a personal relativity, it is relative to you personally. Through spirit it is synchronized, otherwise you have what you have on the planet now, tremendous chaos, misunderstanding, assumptions, people taking things way too personally, a lot of fear, less laughter. Try to understand that because something is not perfect and not complete, [that] does not disqualify what is good and true and correct about it. It like a human, you are not condemned by spirit because you make a mistake, yet all too often people want to support those that lead them, they want to support people who have tremendous self control and make little mistakes. Yet even here, one must exercise great discernment in balancing out what one does and what one says for in a planet such as yours, this Urantia, not all is in balance, not all appears to be what it is.

This is one of the parodies and juxtapositions of life on this level and on this planet. It is designed to keep you earnest and curious. It is designed to be difficult and it is designed for you to learn and grow. All values, all beauty and all systems are born from an understanding and an experience. They are not just given, they must be earned in value. The dynamic of spirit working within the human mind is such that it caters totally to the human for in spirit there is tremendous compassion for the human element and the human endeavor. You are never coerced or pushed beyond your capacity yet sometimes you are brought to the capacity you didn't realize that you had.

So again, just to go over the important parts, the relativity of truth is personal. The spirit led mortal begins to recognize other spirit led mortals and pretty soon there begins to develop the sense of greater awareness, greater balance, greater understanding, greater compassion, readiness of service. There is nothing that can take the place of the personal experience, the awareness and the knowingness from these experiences. Life will show you what you need to learn. It will do whatever it can to insure that you do learn. It is up to you to allow yourself to grow, to learn, to be adaptable, to willingly accept change, your willingness to admit failure, error, misjudgment, over-emotion.

Once you begin to admit and look at yourself and your behavior and can begin to adjust this, your ...and full awareness will be thwarted, will be confused because you refused to look at yourself. To look at the Adjuster you must look at yourself because you reveal the Adjuster within you. You begin to reveal the work which you have done through the Adjuster prompts, through the knowingness the understanding the sense and feel that you have about who you are and what you must do next as well. How many times do you want to deny your feelings only to admit in retrospect that these feeling were correct, that if you had listened and acknowledged these feelings, quite possibly the mistakes would not have been as severe.

===='''''[[Spirit]]'''''====

====''[[Spirit]]''====

Spirit does not have one channel of operation. Spirit is capable of operating on all channels, in all areas, in every instance. Spirit is adept at making its presence known. It is your discernment which reveals this awareness. So do not become overly cautious or overly exerted with this truth concept and this discernment concept for a lot of times as humans, the way that you learn correctness is to learn what not to do, and slowly but surely, what you learn not to do, there is a better chance that you will narrow down what it is you must do.

Spectrum: [Mike] I would step into this forum, this is Spectrum, the Thought Adjuster of Mike. I would just for a moment bask in the beautiful offerings that have been given tonight from both Paul and Henry, from the truth which they perceive and which they reflect through their personalities. This is truly a joyous occasion. We all experience the truths that lay within. We all experience it from a very personal perspective and we in turn, can lay these gifts at each others feet. It is hard for me to explain, as an Adjuster, how glorious it is to witness such fragmentations of creative devotion, for as a piece of the eternal infinitude of that First Source, nothing surprises me. However, what I attempt to convey to you is something of great joy as was stated, as a father sees the child take his first breaths, open his eyes, and experience reality.

There are things that I am overjoyed to give to you, to bestow upon you. There are gifts that will boggle your mind, even as a morontia or even as a spirit, and so I would tonight briefly discuss or remind you, that of which has been touched upon already and that is the concept of infinity, for this is where you live and this is where you are destined to explore. Please understand or attempt to at any rate, that no matter how far you reach, no matter how high you stretch, no matter how much you learn, always will the cup remain half full. This is and will forever be a joy for you. It should bring you great relief to know this truth for there is no pressure, there is no obligation. The farther you stretch, the more room will be created.
