[tmtranscripts] 05-12-01. SPOKANE, Part 2

GINNY: I have two questions.  Thank you for talking to us today.  I'm 
wondering, if we can't accept each other's differences here, how are we going 
to adjust to these extra-terrestrial beings who are trying to make contact 
with us now? And secondly -

PAULO: Is your second question a separate question or a Part 2?
GINNY: It's probably Part 2.   No, it's probably a separate question.

PAULO: Let me address your question here, inasmuch as it has occurred to the 
many others as to how the uniqueness of personality has given rise to a 
plethora of squabbles and misunderstandings among you, even as you are 
embracing a greater appreciation of your kinship.  

Let me put it this way:   Let's say you are all in the sandbox.  You are all 
still scrambling, just maybe learning how to stand up.  And so, as toddlers 
you will get into differences of opinion, you'll throw sand at each other, 
you'll cry, you'll slobber, you'll also be distracted and a minute later you 
want to be best friends and share your lollipop.  This is just the way it is 
with small children.  
Because of the nature of your youth, in comparison to the nature of toddlers 
in the sandbox, look what happens when someone comes along who has authority 
over you and offers you a goal, a prize, an idea, a project, a discipline, a 
performance, a diversion, a goal, a purpose above the one that you found when 
you were left to your own devices.  

When you find a goal which you can regard as more and better and greater than 
your own part in it, you will willingly give up your incessant need to 
protect your own interests in full faith of the united interest that is 
greater than you each.

As yet, you are still in the sandbox, and you haven't gotten on your feet 
yet.  When it comes to really accomplishing a meaningful goal, as a group of 
people, you will have learned how to stand up and you will see your group 
purpose, your joint purpose, your mutual goal.  If and when your goal fails 
you, you will fail your goal.  

What's your other question?

GINNY: You distinguished between aliens, or extraterrestrials who may be just 
here for scientific reasons and beings who are here for our spiritual growth, 
and we've been dealing with them, we have been meeting you, I mean, the 
midwayers have been here for a long time and they certainly are 
extraterrestrial because they're here for our spiritual growth, as I 
understand it.  Other aliens may be here for scientific reasons.

PAULO:  No, you have that backwards.  The midwayers are the permanent 
citizens of Urantia.  They are not from somewhere else.  They are from here, 
just like you are.  They are interested in your advancement spiritually AND 
materially, and [they are] a part of your advancement just as your neighbors 
here in the room are a part of your advancement, and that constitutes a 
balanced growth of material, spiritual and mental.  

The concept of an other terrestrial is another material being or one who was 
once a material being who has advanced in its development to reside in the 
architectural spheres which are designed to accommodate all life as it 
ascends.  It will become much clearer to you when and as you begin to 
perceive what life in the universe is all about and what it entails and when 
you expand your appreciation to recognize the many, many hundreds, thousands, 
even millions of worlds that will convey you from your point in time now as a 
material being til you arrive as a full spirit reality in the presence of the 
Father.   

There are many mansions in the universe, and they all have an architectural 
sphere to suit.  They aren't material and they aren't spiritual; they are 
morontial.  Some-times these visitations are seen as material when they are 
"only" morontial and it's only in faith that you can see with morontial 
vision.  You may think you are looking at a ship when in fact you are seeing 
a celestial personality whose light is such that your mind interprets it as a 
ship, in order to be assimilated. 

I tell you the variety of experiences and perceptions in front of you, in 
your future, as you traverse the spheres, are so varied as to confuse you if 
you had to understand them all at this point.  In other words, there are so 
many life forms in the universe that you have begun to be exposed to, now 
that your isolation has ended, you will be amazed at the variations of life 
in the universe as you are beginning to be amazed at the variations of life 
around you in your own fellows.

I believe you have heard it said even the supernals are offered housing 
appropriate to our needs as we are assigned here to minister to you.  I know 
you are aware that there is a – I want to say a headquarters  – a circuit – 
you are connected; you are plugged in.  

You will be encountering other life in the universe, and it is indeed a 
service for you to perform to demand that life in the universe be respected.  
Otherwise you are presenting yourselves as Children in Need of Supervision 
like any juvenile delin-quent who needs to be curtailed in their hostile 
attitudes toward their elders and their betters.  If you want to have a 
common bond, there's one that's highly practical and very ideal.

THOROAH: That's what part of Dr. Greer's efforts are, is to curtail this 
hostility.

PAULO:  It is so typical of your world, I regret, inasmuch as its 
conditioning is aberrated, thanks to your Planetary Prince and your 
unfortunate history, but like any dysfunction, it can be re-programmed and 
made to be effective.  Thus you need to keep your heart enveloped in the 
divine love of the Master Son and his Consort.  These, your parents, are 
looking to you for your co-creative efforts in attaining a love for Our 
Father in Paradise and all of His creations.  It's not idle chatter that your 
Teachers are involved in telling you you need to learn what love is, how to 
seek love, how to give love, for love is the healing balm that will correct 
your planetary dysfunction and it is the nutrition that is needed for you to 
grow, to stand on your feet, to develop into strong characters able to 
prevail in the face of misfortune and fatten upon disappointment and believe 
without seeing.  

All these wonderful challenges and opportunities that are given to you as 
sons and daughters of the living God, and which you are now able to do 
something about because you have the augmentation of divine counsel in and 
through the cooperation of your own indwelling God fragments and the many, 
many – legions - of celestial helpers who have come to up-step Urantia and 
return it and its sister worlds back into the fold.

That ought to be enough out of me for awhile.  I am awfully glad to be 
invited to visit with you and I hope I have shed some light on the subject, 
perhaps given you some perspective, and not added to the confusion, But it is 
a vast subject, one which we need not fear, for there are millions of worlds 
and many kinds of beings in your future.  You will encounter them even as you 
encounter each other, as a reality to learn to love.  Might as well begin.

GINNY:   I love the fact that you mentioned that bar scene in Star Wars.  I 
was just thinking of that, actually, as an example of the varied and many 
characters there are that we're going to be meeting along the way.  Some 
friendly and some unfriendly.

THOROAH:  My thought is that's part of the fear, the fact that if those 
people we are going to run into are not "celestial" in nature, then they will 
therefore be human in nature and we assume that human nature – if someone has 
a hissy-fit, we might be in trouble! – human nature is not ideal.  We've 
grown up with what we call human nature but it's been a very crippled human 
nature, and it hasn't been crippled for so many of the entities in the 
universe.  Only the worlds affected by rebellion have had to suffer this 
crippled ... and so in most of the universe, they know what the universe 
operates on, they know it operates on love.  So they would probably be acting 
like we would expect celestials to act, because they see the universe for 
what it is.  We are just now beginning to understand that it's a friendly 
universe.  Period.

NEBADONIA:  What is the meaning of this? 

This is Nebadonia, your mother. Indeed. I am coming in to gather you round 
me, to honor you as you honor me and the many mothers, the state of 
motherhood, the quality of divinity that is innately part of the feminine 
field which embraces the children of time.  

Any mother will tell you how precious each child is, and it would honor me if 
you would appreciate a perspective that allows a love for all my children, 
and not alienate any of these far-flung creations because they appear to be 
foreign to you.  

As you have been brought to realize on this world, this world of Michael's 
incarnation, the differing races, having still the same Father and Mother, 
even while they have personal traits and characteristics, are even so, 
priceless and precious and loved by us in Salvington and in Paradise.

I can love my children even when you cannot, for I have a kind of love that 
understands each of my children and their nature and their challenges and 
their weaknesses and their strengths and their peculiarities.  Each one of my 
children and I have a relationship, and none is more precious to me than the 
other.  If you could learn from me, as your Mother, the reality of my 
affection and devotion to you each.

I am amused by your discourse today, for how many of you as children take 
your car-car and go zoom-zoom.  You take your model airplane and sail it 
through the air at the end of your arm in full appreciation of the extension 
of reality into vehicles that can transport your material body and your mind 
and imagination, even poten-tially your spirit and your soul, into the arenas 
that await you in your ascension.

I have no bad kids.  I have no foreigners in my family.  They are all your 
brothers and sisters and I love them each.  Happy Mother's Day to all my 
children that they will one day know me as I know them.  Farewell.
