[tmtranscripts] Althena & Olfana on "Being Our Best Selves"

[Susan Kimsey]

Hi everyone,

It's not the holiday season, yet, but I thought with all the sad things
happening in the news right now, that you might feel cheered up by reading
these words from Althena and Olfana.

Love, Susan

Althena:  Blessings shower down upon us in this room.  We are in the
presence of many dear ones--Teachers, Guides, Midwayers, who serve with love
and faith in this process.  We are bound together, now, with the blessing
and joy of creative service in the name of Christ Michael.  Let our hearts
open now to this process.  We are one in our commitment to serve now with
integrity and a sense of joy and excitement that this world does now begin
to heal itself.  There is much work to be done, much effort to come of this
movement, and you, my dear children, are a precious gift to us, now, in this
process.  We are most grateful that you come together with the intention to
further understand the process by which the Teaching Mission reaches out to
the world in its redemptive service.

I am the Teacher Althena, and it is
not a common process for me to speak through S, now, but I wish to have my
voice expressed through her for a moment.  I come from a planet most
beautiful in its evolution and I say to you now that your planet embarks
upon this same process of growth and development.  You will see the beauty
increase in this world.  You will begin to feel the revitalizing energy,
which can indeed begin to emanate through your beings as God's Love
continues to increase and produce great blessings in this world.  This is
the gift of this season, that God's Love indeed reaches to all of us and
expresses itself in the symbol of our beloved Christ Michael entering this
world.  We, as Urantia Book readers, you, as Urantia Book readers,
understand that this is not the specific time and date of this event, but
the consciousness now on the planet within your minds and hearts is this
sense of the beauty and new arrival of this gift to your world.  I wish you
to spread this joy in your interactions with all those you meet within this
season.  Love in indeed a gift that we can pass from one to another.  Love
sustains us in ways mysterious, and yet at the same time, understandable.
We are indeed created out of love, and therefore we resonate most strongly
to the energy and vibration of this Gift from God within us.  Let yourselves
express this marvelous gift in your very being.  Breathe in the love.
Exhale the love.  Walk with the pace of love.  View the world with love.
Touch and caress others with love.  Speak with love in your heart and mind
and voice.  This is the most beautiful and positive expression of yourself
that you can, indeed, make.  And I would encourage all of you to realize
that you have just begun to understand all the ways in which this beauty of
love augments your being.  I come from a planet where we easily see the love
flowing within our beings.  We are touched by this in all our relationships.
Help to develop this as a model among those of you on this planet.  Be
yourselves with love, in love, by love, through love, of love, and you will
indeed be resonant with this divine energy, and you will best express the
message of the Creator Son in his gift to this world.  I close my statement
with greetings of the season to all of you, and I want you to know how
precious each of you are to those of us who serve now in the Teaching
Mission.

Olfana:  Greetings to each of you.  I am the Teacher Olfana and just as you
mortals work in groups or pairs, threes, we celestials also tend to find
working alliances and chummy situations whereby we may encourage and inspire
and teach those of you who have opened your ears and your hearts to the
beginnings of widespread communication from the universe.  Unlike my sister,
Althena, I myself have begun my journey on a most disturbed planet, and am
entirely familiar on every level with the legacy of rebellion.  I have
struggled in my existences beyond the mortal life to rise above the
tribulation which was my experience in my mortal incarnation.  And I
triumphed over this challenge, this tribulation, and part of my process of
continuing to move into higher and higher levels of awareness entails
assisting my slightly younger siblings, yourselves, to also rise through the
limitations which weigh so heavily upon you.

When my sister Althena urged
you to be yourselves and to do so in love and with love, she is asking for a
most profound openness on your part to a transformation from within.  As
with all transformations, this transformation entails releasing ideas and
assumptions about yourself that are part of the legacy of rebellion, which
would have you persist in your fixed ideas about who you are, and what you
are capable of, and what you are not capable of.  When my sister asks you to
"be yourself," she is not asking that you be the self with which you are
already most familiar.  She is asking that you allow the potentialities,
which the Father has sown within you to emerge into your awareness and into
your experience.  And she is asking that your love, the love you have for
God, and the love you have for your fellow creatures, incite you to open
yourself to this "self within," "these selves within" that await your
openness to spring into being.

You are more than you think you are.  You are more beautiful than you
think you are.  You are more talented than you hink you are.
You are more gracious than you "know" you are.  You have more
love at the fingertips of your soul than you can dream of!  Continue to bond
with one another.  Continue to establish working relationships to assist you
in bringing your deeper selves into the light.  Continue to seek the Will of
the Father Within, for it is His Will that all you are is shared with all
you meet.  I will close my words at this point, to make way for others who
wish to speak.  I leave you with my boundless admiration for your persisting
faith, and the love that you are showing your brothers, your sisters, here
and there.
