*Between Moments of Time       

Preamble:  You once said: "In the spaces between moments of time exists spirit and spirit connections."  A little later: “As to the spiritual pressure that is being applied to Urantia, it is correct to visualize a blanket action with the spirit pressure being drawn more tightly and pressed deeply into the planet itself.”

Question #9:  I really enjoy the poetic statement you provide us about where spirit exists in time, but I do not comprehend how spirit finds space between moments when time to us flows in one continuum.  Is it the case of the eternal now being present in the flow of time?

Question #10:  I’ve always questioned what was meant by “spiritual pressure”. If I take your statement about spirit existing between the moments of time, how right is it to say that if spirit applies pressure it exerts an influence on time?  In what way is that influence felt? What does it do to our perception of time?

Monjoronson:  It will be difficult to address this question for spirit does not exist in time, and that is why the comment was made that spirit functions between moments of time.  You do perceive time as a movement, a train of successive moments.  Spiritual pressure is an attempt to bring spiritual reality into the time frame of human living.

If I may I will use your physics and its understanding of pressure, volume, and temperature.  If you look at volume as time, spiritual pressure will change the orientation of the mind in time. If we increase the pressure, we can shorten the time, that is if the temperature is constant.  But we are looking to increase the temperature on this world, to fire it up and stimulate its growth. If you are going to be fixed in your perception of time, our pressure will get stronger to increase the temperature.  If you can expand your comprehension of time, you increase your volume of awareness.  We do not need to add so much to our pressure, for you are doing the work, and the temperature heats up.

You have referenced the eternal now.  Since spirit exists between the moments of time, if your perception of time is of all time, not linearly oriented from past to future, but all at once, then you increase the size of your moment from instantaneous to eternal.  Then the beginning and the end become one and the each and every becomes all.  There you will discern more directly the function of spirit.

If you hop, skip, and jump between one instant and the next you will be too busy jumping from one to the other and will miss the function of spirit.  But enlarging the time consciousness then you will be able to perceive the movement of spirit in your life.

Thank you for the question.

Thank you for the question.

Philip:  Thank you for the insightful responses.  That concludes our question and answer session for the evening.  If there are any additional comments you wish to make, we offer you the floor.

Monjoronson:  My concluding comment is this: that while you look with that [[anticipation]] and [[acceptance]] toward [[spirit]] [[assistance]], be it from the [[Thought Adjuster|Divine Indweller]] to those like myself assigned to your world, do [[value]] greatly every [[effort]] you make toward your own [[personal]] [[growth]] and toward [[planetary]] advancement.  We truly are all in this [[together]].  While I may be of a stature of [[being]] far above you and have great [[authority]] in comparison, you are equally valuable in our project.  If you were worthless there would be no need for us to be here.  You are the treasure of [[God]], and that is our [[motivation]] to be here to serve, to help.  So while you look [[sincerely]] toward us for [[guidance]], also be [[brave]] and [[creative]] in asserting yourselves in your lives based on what you have come to [[understand]] in [[cosmic]] [[reality]] as it can apply to your [[temporal]] [[reality]].
