<BR>GINNY: I have two questions. Thank you for talking to us today. I'm
<BR>wondering, if we can't accept each other's differences here, how are we going
<BR>to adjust to these extra-terrestrial beings who are trying to make contact
<BR>with us now? And secondly -
<BR>
<BR>PAULO: Is your second question a separate question or a Part 2?
<BR>GINNY: It's probably Part 2. No, it's probably a separate question.
<BR>
<BR>PAULO: Let me address your question here, inasmuch as it has occurred to the
<BR>many others as to how the uniqueness of personality has given rise to a
<BR>plethora of squabbles and misunderstandings among you, even as you are
<BR>embracing a greater appreciation of your kinship.
<BR>
<BR>Let me put it this way: Let's say you are all in the sandbox. You are all
<BR>still scrambling, just maybe learning how to stand up. And so, as toddlers
<BR>you will get into differences of opinion, you'll throw sand at each other,
<BR>you'll cry, you'll slobber, you'll also be distracted and a minute later you
<BR>want to be best friends and share your lollipop. This is just the way it is
<BR>with small children.
<BR>Because of the nature of your youth, in comparison to the nature of toddlers
<BR>in the sandbox, look what happens when someone comes along who has authority
<BR>over you and offers you a goal, a prize, an idea, a project, a discipline, a
<BR>performance, a diversion, a goal, a purpose above the one that you found when
<BR>you were left to your own devices.
<BR>
<BR>When you find a goal which you can regard as more and better and greater than
<BR>your own part in it, you will willingly give up your incessant need to
<BR>protect your own interests in full faith of the united interest that is
<BR>greater than you each.
<BR>
<BR>As yet, you are still in the sandbox, and you haven't gotten on your feet
<BR>yet. When it comes to really accomplishing a meaningful goal, as a group of
<BR>people, you will have learned how to stand up and you will see your group
<BR>purpose, your joint purpose, your mutual goal. If and when your goal fails
<BR>you, you will fail your goal.
<BR>
<BR>What's your other question?
<BR>
<BR>GINNY: You distinguished between aliens, or extraterrestrials who may be just
<BR>here for scientific reasons and beings who are here for our spiritual growth,
<BR>and we've been dealing with them, we have been meeting you, I mean, the
<BR>midwayers have been here for a long time and they certainly are
<BR>extraterrestrial because they're here for our spiritual growth, as I
<BR>understand it. Other aliens may be here for scientific reasons.
<BR>
<BR>PAULO: No, you have that backwards. The midwayers are the permanent
<BR>citizens of Urantia. They are not from somewhere else. They are from here,
<BR>just like you are. They are interested in your advancement spiritually AND
<BR>materially, and [they are] a part of your advancement just as your neighbors
<BR>here in the room are a part of your advancement, and that constitutes a
<BR>balanced growth of material, spiritual and mental.
<BR>
<BR>The concept of an other terrestrial is another material being or one who was
<BR>once a material being who has advanced in its development to reside in the
<BR>architectural spheres which are designed to accommodate all life as it
<BR>ascends. It will become much clearer to you when and as you begin to
<BR>perceive what life in the universe is all about and what it entails and when
<BR>you expand your appreciation to recognize the many, many hundreds, thousands,
<BR>even millions of worlds that will convey you from your point in time now as a
<BR>material being til you arrive as a full spirit reality in the presence of the
<BR>Father.
<BR>
<BR>There are many mansions in the universe, and they all have an architectural
<BR>sphere to suit. They aren't material and they aren't spiritual; they are
<BR>morontial. Some-times these visitations are seen as material when they are
<BR>"only" morontial and it's only in faith that you can see with morontial
<BR>vision. You may think you are looking at a ship when in fact you are seeing
<BR>a celestial personality whose light is such that your mind interprets it as a
<BR>ship, in order to be assimilated.
<BR>
<BR>I tell you the variety of experiences and perceptions in front of you, in
<BR>your future, as you traverse the spheres, are so varied as to confuse you if
<BR>you had to understand them all at this point. In other words, there are so
<BR>many life forms in the universe that you have begun to be exposed to, now
<BR>that your isolation has ended, you will be amazed at the variations of life
<BR>in the universe as you are beginning to be amazed at the variations of life
<BR>around you in your own fellows.
<BR>
<BR>I believe you have heard it said even the supernals are offered housing
<BR>appropriate to our needs as we are assigned here to minister to you. I know
<BR>you are aware that there is a – I want to say a headquarters – a circuit –
<BR>you are connected; you are plugged in.
<BR>
<BR>You will be encountering other life in the universe, and it is indeed a
<BR>service for you to perform to demand that life in the universe be respected.
<BR>Otherwise you are presenting yourselves as Children in Need of Supervision
<BR>like any juvenile delin-quent who needs to be curtailed in their hostile
<BR>attitudes toward their elders and their betters. If you want to have a
<BR>common bond, there's one that's highly practical and very ideal.
<BR>
<BR>THOROAH: That's what part of Dr. Greer's efforts are, is to curtail this
<BR>hostility.
<BR>
<BR>PAULO: It is so typical of your world, I regret, inasmuch as its
<BR>conditioning is aberrated, thanks to your Planetary Prince and your
<BR>unfortunate history, but like any dysfunction, it can be re-programmed and
<BR>made to be effective. Thus you need to keep your heart enveloped in the
<BR>divine love of the Master Son and his Consort. These, your parents, are
<BR>looking to you for your co-creative efforts in attaining a love for Our
<BR>Father in Paradise and all of His creations. It's not idle chatter that your
<BR>Teachers are involved in telling you you need to learn what love is, how to
<BR>seek love, how to give love, for love is the healing balm that will correct
<BR>your planetary dysfunction and it is the nutrition that is needed for you to
<BR>grow, to stand on your feet, to develop into strong characters able to
<BR>prevail in the face of misfortune and fatten upon disappointment and believe
<BR>without seeing.
<BR>
<BR>All these wonderful challenges and opportunities that are given to you as
<BR>sons and daughters of the living God, and which you are now able to do
<BR>something about because you have the augmentation of divine counsel in and
<BR>through the cooperation of your own indwelling God fragments and the many,
<BR>many – legions - of celestial helpers who have come to up-step Urantia and
<BR>return it and its sister worlds back into the fold.
<BR>
<BR>That ought to be enough out of me for awhile. I am awfully glad to be
<BR>invited to visit with you and I hope I have shed some light on the subject,
<BR>perhaps given you some perspective, and not added to the confusion, But it is
<BR>a vast subject, one which we need not fear, for there are millions of worlds
<BR>and many kinds of beings in your future. You will encounter them even as you
<BR>encounter each other, as a reality to learn to love. Might as well begin.
<BR>
<BR>GINNY: I love the fact that you mentioned that bar scene in Star Wars. I
<BR>was just thinking of that, actually, as an example of the varied and many
<BR>characters there are that we're going to be meeting along the way. Some
<BR>friendly and some unfriendly.
<BR>
<BR>THOROAH: My thought is that's part of the fear, the fact that if those
<BR>people we are going to run into are not "celestial" in nature, then they will
<BR>therefore be human in nature and we assume that human nature – if someone has
<BR>a hissy-fit, we might be in trouble! – human nature is not ideal. We've
<BR>grown up with what we call human nature but it's been a very crippled human
<BR>nature, and it hasn't been crippled for so many of the entities in the
<BR>universe. Only the worlds affected by rebellion have had to suffer this
<BR>crippled ... and so in most of the universe, they know what the universe
<BR>operates on, they know it operates on love. So they would probably be acting
<BR>like we would expect celestials to act, because they see the universe for
<BR>what it is. We are just now beginning to understand that it's a friendly
<BR>universe. Period.
<BR>
<BR>NEBADONIA: What is the meaning of this?
<BR>
<BR>This is Nebadonia, your mother. Indeed. I am coming in to gather you round
<BR>me, to honor you as you honor me and the many mothers, the state of
<BR>motherhood, the quality of divinity that is innately part of the feminine
<BR>field which embraces the children of time.
<BR>
<BR>Any mother will tell you how precious each child is, and it would honor me if
<BR>you would appreciate a perspective that allows a love for all my children,
<BR>and not alienate any of these far-flung creations because they appear to be
<BR>foreign to you.
<BR>
<BR>As you have been brought to realize on this world, this world of Michael's
<BR>incarnation, the differing races, having still the same Father and Mother,
<BR>even while they have personal traits and characteristics, are even so,
<BR>priceless and precious and loved by us in Salvington and in Paradise.
<BR>
<BR>I can love my children even when you cannot, for I have a kind of love that
<BR>understands each of my children and their nature and their challenges and
<BR>their weaknesses and their strengths and their peculiarities. Each one of my
<BR>children and I have a relationship, and none is more precious to me than the
<BR>other. If you could learn from me, as your Mother, the reality of my
<BR>affection and devotion to you each.
<BR>
<BR>I am amused by your discourse today, for how many of you as children take
<BR>your car-car and go zoom-zoom. You take your model airplane and sail it
<BR>through the air at the end of your arm in full appreciation of the extension
<BR>of reality into vehicles that can transport your material body and your mind
<BR>and imagination, even poten-tially your spirit and your soul, into the arenas
<BR>that await you in your ascension.
<BR>
<BR>I have no bad kids. I have no foreigners in my family. They are all your
<BR>brothers and sisters and I love them each. Happy Mother's Day to all my
<BR>children that they will one day know me as I know them. Farewell.
