Changes

A: Daughter Rachel, your name is a [[perception]] of your [[personal]] [[being]]. The [[conception]] of you as a personal being able to be perceived by others, occurs at [[birth]], though previously in [[physical]] [[embryo]]nic state you were [[developing]]. At the point of parturition from the [[mother]], a separate person is perceived, and this person is [[individual]] and precious to God. In the broadest sense, God names you. In the [[practical]] sense, the name [[reflects]] spiritual [[perception]] of the [[individual]] person and is thus recorded. All [[spiritual]] [[beings]] [[perceive]] you as Rachel and always will. The [[tone]] [[quality]] of your name as physically [[manifest]] is not quite the same as its [[pure]] spiritual perception. But being on a [[material]] level, it is the best we can do.

There are many things written in the Bible which are very uplifting, and many passages or whole books which are very downcasting. In my day, before the Bible was written or compiled, there was very little writing. We relied on verbal messages practically completely. Traditions and new teachings were kept within the mind of the people or person learning. Each person learned slightly differently from every other, and his personal slant or interpretation on a direct teaching colored it forever. These people, who were taught by Melchizedek, went forward into the world and passed this knowledge on as purely as possible until they died. They were admonished to train at least ten individuals of the younger generation as succinctly as they could these same teachings, and then they each ten, and so forth. You can see that within just a few generations the teachings would spread, but in the process be diluted and become mixed with other beliefs held by people. The main message or seed teaching of salvation through faith, even, was practically lost in many parts of the world, but remained strongest, especially the one God concept, near the center of the Melchizedek bestowal, Palestine. The one God concept has remained strong through Christianity and is generally accepted throughout the world. One God for all peoples is a basic concept in most religious understanding. We wish now to extend this concept of one God for all peoples of the earth to one God for all worlds. The concept of God over the earth is limited and anthropomorphized. The concept of God for all worlds, all space, for all time is infinite and eternal. The concept of the Infinite is partial and fragmentary at best in your state of being, but the attempt of understanding of this intense concept is, in itself, enlarging. The understanding of a personal Infinite is enlightening, and I will attempt, as will Ham, through many lessons, to enlarge and strengthen your conception of the Eternal Father.

I pray through me His voice speaks to you and His love reaches your heart. I only pray to serve Him who is invisible to our eyes but the greatest reality in existence. I pray that I may wisely bring forward His word, that I may capture your imagination to enlighten your understanding. I pray that I may serve you well, and that in so doing, serve our Father. I pray that as His love grows within you that it may shine for all to see. I pray to the Father, and to His Son, personified in our Lord Michael, whose spirit envelops and nourishes each of us, and I pray that our work will be acceptable in His sight.

Q: What is the main purpose or reason for adversities.

Q: What is the main [[purpose]] or reason for [[adversities]].

A: This is a broad question, and I can only answer in broad terms. Adversity requires reaction. This reaction builds strength and stamina in character. Each person experiences adversity for this purpose. If life were easy and blissful, decisions, hard decisions, would not be forced to be made. These essential decisions must be made in order for there to be soul strengthening.

In the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parable_of_the_sower parable of the sower], we see that some [[seeds]] sprout readily and grow tall quickly, soon to be withered in the [[sun]], not having the requisite [[strength]], [[fortitude]], to withstand [[vicissitude]]. Each person is like a [[plant]]. The good gardener, your [[Thought Adjuster]], who directs the tilling of your [[soil]], the fertilization of your [[roots]], the rain to fall, the [[wind]] to blow, and the [[sun]] to shine. All this is done through the [[action]] of [[angels]] among others. He sees to it that His beloved child [[receives]] what is needful for the best [[growth]] of his [[soul]]. [[Adversity]], even [[calamity]], can be part of the nurturing [[process]]. The [[blessing]] of these seeming calamities may only be seen through hindsight and are not apparent to the growing [[seed]]-child. The good [[parent]] insures proper [[medicine]] for any [[illness]], proper [[exercise]] and play to maintain robust [[health]]. Each child requires differing remedies and different [[exercise]]. By exercise, I am referring to robust life activities, [[mental]] and [[physical]]. In order to meet the [[challenges]] of life, each person much have [[experienced]] a certain hardship [[factor]], and the knowing that past hardships have been overcome [[strengthens]] the [[mind]]-[[soul]] for [[future]] hardship or [[conflict]] which must also be grappled with. This "I can do" [[attitude]] is important and cannot [[develop]] without having done. Therefore, [[adversity]], small and great, befalls us all and must be overcome and grappled with [[individually]] in order to build a strong and reliable [[soul]].
