===Lesson===
I am ABRAHAM. Greetings. I [[thank]] you for coming this evening. It is [[wonderful]] to spend this [[time]] with you. I find that in meeting less, we [[discuss]] more pressing issues. This time [[together]] becomes more valued. I am [[grateful]] to be allowed to watch your [[spiritual]] [[growth]] and your [[skills]] to tending to Kingdom tasks.
===Lesson===
====[[Communication]]====
I am [[understanding]] in today’s world of high [[speed]] that there is so much [[focus]] on the [[business]] of living and [[individuals]] sometimes lose their sense of [[joy]] and reason for [[working]] so hard in the first place. In the Master’s time [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_138#138:6._THE_WEEK_OF_INTENSIVE_TRAINING they had designated Wednesdays] as a day of replenishing the [[mind]] and [[spirit]]. There was [[time]] for socializing because it was a [[source]] of [[joy]].
As we move ahead in the [[Correcting Time]] we will see how important [[communications]] between people become. Said Jesus, “where two or more are gathered, there am I also.” The close [[individuals]] you feel comfortable talking with [[create]] an [[energy]] that is generating [[spirit]] and of course, spirit [[touches]] the [[heart]] and produces [[joy]]. Over these many years our lessons have been for the most part about [[sociology]] or learning to [[communicate]] with one another.
====[[Ego]]====
It is our goal to help generate the [[spirit]] in our [[social]] circles. I also believe that with the fast pace [[competitive]] [[lifestyle]] that is common in today; there is also the added [[difficulties]] [[egos]] bring. The ego or [[animal]] [[self]], typically [[desires]] to be the king of the jungle and is not sociable or a generator of [[spirit]]. There is great [[struggle]] in today’s world to stay afloat and this can bring out the [[instincts]] of the [[animal]]-[[self]], in other [[words]] we are merely [[surviving]] instead of thriving.
I hesitate to [[discuss]] the ego, but it must be known that in the harshness of the [[ego]]-filled [[mind]] there is [[evil]]. I mean that in the sense of living in a [[competitive]] world, where [[individuals]] would hold others down to gain [[status]]. There is a certain sense of [[evil]] in such selfishness where the most important commodity in one’s life is [[power]]. I mean not to say the son of [[self]]-[[love]] is running rampant, no, but I would have you be aware that the [[ego]] is not a toy, but something you will need to sharpen your [[spiritual]] [[skills]] to deal with it.
In your daily [[experience]] let people know they are [[valued]] simply for who they are, not what they look like, not for their [[money]] or various gifts, but simply show [[love]] for them as a [[Siblings|brother or sister]] in the Kingdom. As [[technology]] becomes more important and [[impersonal]], [[souls]] may go by the wayside and we lose [[touch]] with [[love]], [[joy]] and a sense of belonging. For the next few weeks sharpen your [[social]] skills by making eye [[contact]], offering greetings, making time for [[conversation]]. Avoid [[negativity]] and make [[effort]] to generate a [[healing]] [[spirit]]. I would like to offer some direction for ARMANDA.
My daughter, I am in [[understanding]] of the [[stress]] you are under. I see you as handling the issues with [[grace]]. I believe you are with great common sense and I have [[faith]] in your [[abilities]] to make [[logical]] [[decisions]]. I am in [[understanding]] of your [[confidence]] in yourself and people around you. You are like a piece of coal that is [[pressured]] into becoming a diamond. I would suggest that you make your [[decision]] and there from all pieces of the [[puzzle]] will fall into place. The [[fact]] that the [[decision]] has been made will in itself bring a great deal of [[peace]]. In the indecision there is the [[unknown]] and a lot of [[fear]]. I believe you have a great deal of the [[facts]] of your [[health]] [[dilemma]] and are fully capable of making [[intelligent]] [[decisions]]. Decisions like choosing a physician, treatment and [[methods]] on how to remain [[financially]] [[stable]]. I would suggest that you look within to see what your priorities are. What is really important? How are you going to face your [[fears]] with the [[skills]] you have learned over the past few years? I am [[thinking]] you should not have [[worry]] over various [[pains]] in the [[body]] because most are [[stress]] induced. I believe you should look at your situation with a [[scientific]] [[mind]]. It is true, all you have [[valued]] is being tested. It is not for any [[punishment]], I can [[assure]] you. It is an incident of [[time]] and [[material]]. As [[human beings]], we do what we can, we exhaust our [[resources]]. I want you to know I have [[faith]] in you and your [[ability]] to make [[logical]] [[decisions]]. Know that [[the Father|Father]] is close at hand and shows you openings in the pathway of [[decision]]-making. You are never alone. You are never without [[guidance]]. Know that we [[understand]] your dread and while we have [[compassion]] for you, we also will help uphold you. Is this helping? (Yes, thank you.) You are [[welcome]]. Is there another question?
===Dialogue===
====[[11:11]]====
CALVIN: As you know, I’ve enjoyed in the recent weeks listening to the recordings from ''Michael of Maui''. Do you have some input on how his [[teachings]] are impacting on the world [[stage]]?
ABRAHAM: I know this [[individual]] to be very knowledgeable and makes great [[effort]] in his [[methods]] for [[transmitting]]. Accuracy is important to him. I would simply say that apply all you have [[learned]] over these years to his [[words]] and lessons. What is true will stay. What is not will fade away. It is an exciting part of this [[technology]] of today to have [[communications]] with [[individuals]] around the world. Is this helping? (Yes, thank you very much). Are there any more questions?
MIRIAM: In your lesson you mentioned about in [[Jesus]]’ day of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_138#138:6._THE_WEEK_OF_INTENSIVE_TRAINING Wednesday’s being a fun day]. Was that just for the Master and His [[apostles]] or all of that area’s people?
ABRAHAM: It was just a day set aside for [[the Master]] and His [[apostles]]. I do believe [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]] arranged the [[schedule]], at the Master’s request of course. It was draining on the [[minds]] of those Kingdom workers to [[work]] with the masses. It was constant outgoing of [[energy]]. There was regeneration of course in the Master’s lessons, but it became important to have [[rest]] and [[time]] to [[reflect]] on the past occurrences and to make some flexible [[plans]] for the days ahead.
MIRIAM: I [[appreciated]] the suggestion and bringing our [[attention]] to it. Yes, it is reiterated in the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=The_Urantia_Text_-_Contents#Part_IV._The_Life_and_Teachings_of_Jesus Jesus Papers] … but I [[personally]] tend to miss the boat in that direct. Obviously it was important in the Masters living.
ABRAHAM: I also thank you for your outstanding [[attitude]] on everyday life [[experience]]. You are a good example to those who know you. Well done. Are there anymore questions?
MIRIAM: Two people have asked in past week … one asked … she keeps seeing 11:11 … and they’re both saying this. Are there prompts like this going around?
ABRAHAM: I am [[understanding]] that [[numbers]] are important in the lives of [[mortals]], but have not much to do with the [[work]] of the Kingdom. It has been the [[tendency]] of [[mortals]] down through the [[ages]] to put a [[mathematical]] [[equation]] to the [[unknown]] or matters of [[faith]]. There is a great deal of hype about the ending of the world and it is more about the Correction of it. In the re-encircuitment of the [[cosmic mind]] to [[Urantia]], there are new senses that [[mortals]] will feel and the mind may see these senses in the realm of what they already know. So I would not downplay their [[experience]], but enlarge it with suggestions of the work of higher mindedness. Good question.
===Closing===
As my [[connection]] grows weak, I will send you with my [[love]] and know that I have deep and abiding [[faith]] in each of you. You are indeed a [[source]] of joy for me. [[Mary]] sends her regards. She will attend next time. Go in [[peace]]. [[Shalom]].
