Changes

Question #4: Becoming right-minded takes a lot of [[work]] on the [[human]] part since we believe that to [[change]] the [[mind]] we have to have a reason to make the change.  What does [[spirit]] do which [[acts]] to help move minds toward the [[Enlightenment|light]], especially right-mindedness?

Monjoronson:  Much of what you have [[stated]] that places [[context]] for these questions are [[true]] and valuable to the [[human being]].  Let me add to this [[context]] a condition to the term “[[right-mindedness]]”. Right-mindedness is not simply a [[state]] of [[being]] that you [[attain]].  It is an [[orientation]] of mind which facilitates [[growth]].  When the [[divine]] [[spirit]], the [[Thought Adjuster]], draws upon you to lead you to elevate you in [[soul]] [[consciousness]], right-mindedness is the [[ability]] to [[respond]], to [[perceive]], to assimilate, and to enact what the [[Divine Spirit]] is bringing into you.  There is no [[established]] state of [[right-mindedness]]; it is a continuous condition and, as you mentioned the phrase, “I am willing, Father, to do your will” is right-minded orientation.

You know that the needle of the [[compass]] points north, that you may spin the case within which the needle resides to make it appear to point south, west, or north based upon the layout.  Nonetheless the compass needle is pointing true north.  When one is so [[spiritually]] oriented they have right-mindedness.  They [[orient]] to the [[discernment]] of [[truth]] continually regardless of ones level of [[enlightenment]].

I will also make one more [[analogy]].  The wind may be likened to the [[force]] of the [[Divine]] [[Spirit]] within you drawing you toward [[God]] on [[Paradise]].  Right-mindedness is the willingness to turn and go with that wind somewhat like would a weather vane or a sail.  My [[illustration]] here is to emphasize that the [[attainment]], that is, the ongoing condition of [[right-mindedness]], is as simple as the turning of the weather vane in the direction of the wind.  It is far more [[difficult]] to [[resist]] and point another way.

Be not concerned that right-mindedness must be an adherence to [[guidelines]] of [[behavior]], to [[social]] [[standards]], or those of [[religious]] [[institutions]], or the [[understanding]] of [[Scripture|scriptural]] teachings.  It is simply your [[ability]] to [[orient]] and move toward the higher levels of living that will bring you to [[Light and Life]].

I [[hope]] this provides you with [[thought]] and answer to your question.

Question #5: In the same session you reminded the [[audience]] that: “Each and every one of you who [[sojourns]] with this [[divine]] component of the self, the [[Adjuster]], makes one an island of [[stability]] when all things seem to shift, and as such an island of stability you become positioned to have a great impact and [[effect]] on the [[pattern]] of shift that occurs around you.”  We ask: Is it the [[Adjuster]] alone who takes [[responsibility]] for the shift to rightmindedness?  Or may we say that the [[presence]] of a [[Paradise Son]] also [[contributes]] in great ways to help us shift to this type of [[thinking]]?

Monjoronson:  All [[beings]] including your own [[Guardian Angels|attending angels]] [[work]] in [[harmony]] and [[assist]] one another.  As regards your own [[personal]] [[spiritual]] well-being, it is the [[Thought Adjuster]] who is in full charge.  Those of us in proximity are attending to the task that this [[divine]] [[spirit]] is working to accomplish.  If there are external conditions, social environs, workplace, world [[conflicts]], or the like, we have broader range of [[function]] under our own [[power]] of [[Free will|will]].

If I may return to the [[idea]] of the [[compass]], we will do what we can to turn the casing so that the N of north aligns with the needle that points the true way.  Your [[right-mindedness]] again is to follow that [[magnetic pole]] of the [[Thought Adjuster|divine spirit]].  It will [[assist]] those around you to [[realize]] they must shift their [[orientation]], and we will do what we can within your [[environment]] to [[assist]] that shift of [[consciousness]].

Question #6:  What is the most basic, [[foundational]] [[change]] to life on [[Urantia]] that must be put into place for the [[Correcting Time]] to be successful?  Is achieving right-mindedness where it should start?  Or is it something even more basic than that?

Monjoronson:  As regards the [[individual]]’s [[right-mindedness]], it’s a proper way of looking at what will [[assist]] the world.  But this [[planet]] in particular has a great lesson to learn as of yet, and that is the [[ability]] to live in [[harmony]] with one another.  This entails learning to address [[differences]] of [[viewpoint]] with care and [[compassion]] for one another in a [[sincere]] [[desire]] to bring the greatest [[good]] for all.  [[Human beings]] are wired to have a broad range of ''viewpoints'', for that [[stimulates]] the [[growth]] of each one.  But your world currently engages all too often in [[forcing]] the [[orientation]] of one [[perspective]] upon others or excluding others from that [[orientation]].

There will come a time when, and I say figuratively speaking, the skies will open and you will be introduced to your [[cosmic]] brothers and sisters from afar or from a dimension above.  The time now is to learn to [[cooperate]] with yourselves; it’s a basic lesson; it’s a kindergarten level of social [[behavior]].  Then you will be [[prepared]] for the [[embrace]] of your higher brothers and sisters.  You will not be visited until you learn this lesson, for we wish to spare you the [[embarrassment]] for not having come [[prepared]].  So I am here and hosts of [[ministering spirits]] dwell upon your world to take your hand and show you the way.  If you take our hands, that is [[rightmindedness]].  As you step, that is also that same willingness; when you step we go forward.

I [[appreciate]] your [[interest]] in my answers to your questions.  I am ever [[thankful]] for your being so willing to address me.  I can only offer you [[words]] [[Design|designed]] to [[assist]] you.  But the true [[work]] is in your lap, and that is for you to derive the [[insight]] and the [[comprehension]] you can as these [[responses]] are [[integrated]] into your [[personal]] lives and your [[personal]] [[comprehension]].
