Adjust Our Perspective.

 

 

 

 

 

Greetings to you, this is Lantarnek. I am happy to be present in good company, to have the honor of interfacing with my beloved human associates. I have been dedicated to encouraging your upstep in spiritual perspective, in spiritual stature, and have been rewarded by your success.

It is unlikely that we teachers have much in the way of new knowledge to impart to you, for it has been accomplished through your current possession of the Papers for Urantia, and the world in which you live today is well enough interconnected to allow you to have access to information from any culture. Your civilizations have developed wherein you now preserve expressions of knowledge by the brothers and sisters who have gone before you. Today you can access these. On the other hand, our primary intention is to adjust your perspective repeatedly in regard to any particular topic that we address, for knowledge is like a tool; it is of no value if it is only possessed and not put to work.

I have finished my remarks. I am in good company today. Thank you.

Evelyn: I hear a lot of similarity between your message today and the last session on walking toward God and walking with God.

* Lantarnek: Yes, the principle involved is the same.

Tom: Last week the comment was made that one can walk toward God and one can walk with God and the addition was that one can walk as God.

* Lantarnek: I recognize that perception as valid, though I understand human nature enough to be sensitive to the feeling by many that associating oneself as God is too great a grasp. Few can absorb that perspective and remain in the balance of humbleness and the associated responsibility of such a condition. Nonetheless, the goals of divine fusion entail this very realization.

I mentioned perceiving yourself sandwiched between the God of all and the divine Inner Spirit. That is the extent to which you can allow yourself to perceive your being as walking as God. This sandwiching perhaps will allow you to adopt the perspective to let you transition from your self evaluation as a material, world-bound human being to a universe child of light and love.

Mark: Perhaps more palatable to the human condition would be the interim stage of walking for God before getting to the point of walking as God.

* Lantarnek: This is a good observation. Walking with God assumes companionship. Walking for God implies representation, that while you may all the while acknowledge divine presence walking with God, walking for God allows the human mind to stand in stead, to represent ambassadorially the divine. A loyal, trustworthy representative increasingly becomes identified with that which he represents. Walking for God eventuates in walking as God.

Tom: Earlier you had a triad: stillness, service, and study. I see walking toward God as study, walking with God as stillness, and walking for God as service.

* Lantarnek: You, my friend, exemplify the very tack we take in teaching to you, your ability to rotate meaning for a new angle of perspective and to there derive greater insight. I applaud you.

* Elyon (Mark): Greetings, this is Elyon. I would poke my head into the classroom, as it were, simply to interject into your thoughts that I am a witness to this group activity, a partner behind the scenes. I am everlastingly pleased with the attitude of the students in this classroom and the respect they show individuals who have agreed to guide them. There is no need to add more bulk to the amount to be digested here today but rather to expand the sense of camaraderie, that even though I do not always seize the opportunity to make my presence known to you, I am always observing your progress and am always pleased to be in attendance at your meetings, wherein I learn a great deal about how you assimilate the lessons, the effectiveness of various approaches, and am always pleased to behold your dedication to this process. We share that in common. From one involved in the process to another, it is helpful from time to time to provide this recognition that we are in fact sailing the ship together. We may rotate whose turn it is to man individual stations, but we are all pulling for the one goal, the forward momentum of spiritual growth both individually and collectively. In this regard I enjoy, indeed, cherish these experiences we have together as I know you do. So, let us all man our stations as we see them at this hour and all work under the guidance and coordination of Michael's divine plan which we are engaged in unfolding and which it is our privilege to be a part of.

Thank you each one, my dear friends, for this journey we share together. I remain in attendance.

Let us rest together to honor the Father of all, our Father. Rejuvenate yourself with the sense of His penetrating grace. Welcome that love ever before you, always upon you, even rising within. We all have the spotlight of the divine light upon us. It illuminates the way. It opens the eyes. It warms the heart. My children, it is a great presence.

I support you in your efforts to climb the mountain, to reach the peak to behold the view, even to transfigure above and beyond the mountain into the heavenly skies. I take you up with me; I present you to our Father. You are His gift to me. In your growth in our relationship you are my gift to Him. I reside with you in peace.
