Question #1: In the attempt to use the mind to contact the presence of Deity, unwanted thoughts come out of nowhere as though attempting to block the effort. How can these unwanted thoughts get blocked?

Monjoronson: Mind control, practice, begin to discover the many clever ways to quiet the mind. For example consider this; stand within your mind and imagine you are watching the mind and all of its activity. Then you step outside of it, outside of this bubble where you are in a quiet still space, where you can observe the mind but you can also observe nothingness. Observe this nothingness. Find a way in which to determine for yourself where in your mind is a place where there is no chatter.

I am not sure about the words pesky thoughts, it sounds personal. But yes, the mind, because it is fluid in tissue, there is no airspace in mind, it is all fluid and tissue. Fluid has to do with chemistry, it has to do with what you put in your body, how your body uses it and how the body compromises itself to use the things that it doesn't need that you also put into your body. Begin to understand who you are and how you work. Begin to discover new ways to become a human being in consciousness. Yes, definitely sit in the quiet presence of nothingness. Learn to master control of your mind, of the things that the mind does. It tricks you into reacting, it creates 'saboteur' for yourself. It does all kinds of things as a result of it being loaned to the particular human who has it.

Yet never forget the tremendous capacity when physical chemistry produces a system of organized components to perceive thought, to act upon thought and to intelligently move forward. So practice, practice and again practice. Learn how to focus and to control or use what many people have discovered as humans who control their mind by watching the breath, in and out. Releasing all thought on the exhale, taking in all clarity and quietness on the inhale. This is a purely human endeavor, the ability to control ones mind. It actually is your responsibility as a son of God. To be able to grow spiritually demands control and responsibility.

The [[universe]] is an unbelievably run [[Cosmos|tidy ship]]. All have been [[trained]] perfectly how to synchronize their tasks. There is very little [[freedom]] to do what you [[feel]] as a spirit being. You do what you must. You do what you are ordered to do. You [[perform]] that [for] which you have been [[design]]ed. Yes the universe is [[method]]ical and meticulous about [[protocol]] and [[synchronicity]]. Begin to see how out of synchronization [[Urantia]] is from the [[Master Universe|rest of the universe]], where life on your [[planet]] has been turned into a joke, where taking responsibility has to do with choosing what you have to eat and wear. True, as [[individuals]], greatness abounds. As a visible whole you still have a long ways to go. Thank you for this question.
