<BR> TEACHER: Paulo
<BR> TOPIC: Dynamics of "the Spirit of the Spirit"
<BR>
<BR>PAULO: Good afternoon, friends and neighbors. Paulo here. We've been out
<BR>and about. I don't know if you noticed but I've been gone for several weeks.
<BR> I have had a good time and I'm glad to be back to pick up where you are in
<BR>your development, which is not too bad, all things considered. In my travels
<BR>I have seen less than my desired allotment of illumination. Any kind of
<BR>illumination is something that can be worked with. Any flicker of substance
<BR>or shadow of reality is a thread to be picked up and woven into the greater
<BR>garment. When there is not any opening, it matters not how well prepared you
<BR>may be to open your mouth and allow your pearls to roll forth, for the avenue
<BR>is just not there without creature willingness to open up and breathe in the
<BR>atmosphere of deity.
<BR>
<BR>I see you had quite a bonfire going on here last week-end. I was on the
<BR>sidelines observing, always happy to take a back seat to the Melchizedek
<BR>teachers and the ministries of Michael and Nebadonia, but it's also good to
<BR>have a platform to which I may aspire to reach you and dedicate myself to
<BR>those flickers of faith which will give rise eventually to solid spiritual
<BR>reality. Have you got anything to say or question in response to the many
<BR>avenues of morontia thought and human awareness that have presented
<BR>themselves for you in this area in the past month or so?
<BR>
<BR>THOROAH: The introduction, as blatantly as it was made by Rob Crickett, of
<BR>the "heretofore missing member of our parents" (I'm referring to Nebadonia),
<BR>has been key to me in bringing a lot of things together. The clarification
<BR>of the Holy Spirit; the completion in my mind of the Holy Trinity and the
<BR>pattern of the Trinity down through our lives from Paradise; and the major
<BR>visualization that I have now of Mother being every bit as important to my
<BR>spiritual life as Michael and the Paradise Father, or Indwelling Adjuster, is
<BR>almost like it hasn't been a missing ingredient, but it's one that has lacked
<BR>a certain personification.
<BR>
<BR>PAULO: Mr. Crickett has made major inroads into revealing how dynamic the
<BR>Holy Spirit is - the Spirit of the Spirit. You have not been unaware of this
<BR>influence; however, it has not made such an impact on you until you have –
<BR>shall we say – put two and two together through his demonstration of what the
<BR>dynamic can be when the son of God and the daughter of God allow the Holy
<BR>Family to work its wonders within the parameters of that mortal's capacities.
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>It's also true that when you set out on a faith adventure you set out with
<BR>determina-tion in your heart but it is still a personal effort, and as you
<BR>share your intent to set out on this adventure, and as others accept your
<BR>decision and offer to go with you, or offer you supplies or maps or
<BR>guidelines, food or furs, you feel fortified by their support and you may go
<BR>in company with others or you may forge ahead individually but you have a
<BR>different sense of strength.
<BR>
<BR>You are not alone any longer. Having the support of your community is the
<BR>pillar that holds up much social action, the prop that supports group effort.
<BR> And as you know, at least academically, ten persons can accomplish more in
<BR>teamwork than they can as ten persons individually. In fact, ten persons
<BR>working together on a project exponentially amount to far more than merely
<BR>ten, but a hundredfold and more because of the group dynamic, because of the
<BR>consolidation of your efforts, because of your camaraderie in the Spirit of
<BR>things that constitutes work in the field, that gets things done, that is
<BR>that element of divinity that represents Action.
<BR>
<BR>There are many points herein that will no doubt be bringing you a steady
<BR>stream of reminders for the balance of the season of what powers the Spirit
<BR>of the Divine Minister provides - the Universal Mother Spirit through her
<BR>Daughter, Michael's Consort, and through the personalities throughout the
<BR>far-flung universes of ministering spirits who are the arms and legs of their
<BR>realm of influence as you are the arms and legs of your realm of influence
<BR>here on Urantia.
<BR>
<BR>It's interesting because there is inherent in the word "dynamic" a certain
<BR>conflict in perception. "Dynamic" shares the root word with "dynamite" and
<BR>dynamite in haphazard application is indeed dangerous. Even personalities
<BR>who are dynamic have often been interpreted as egos out of control,
<BR>egomaniacs, self-centered people who want to steal the show. At the same
<BR>time, the text book talks about "dynamic personalities" of the sons and
<BR>daughters of God and they are rendered dynamic because of the force of the
<BR>Father, Mother and Son.
<BR>
<BR>You well may begin to have a new appreciation for the Mother. You may begin
<BR>to perceive of those energies on a level that goes beyond your superficial
<BR>assumptions of something feminine or female as having its base of reality in
<BR>the women/females you have known in the mortal sense and not in the Third
<BR>Source and Center of Paradise that is a part and parcel of God itself - the
<BR>action aspect of deity. As your mentor mentioned recently, in many ways the
<BR>Father thinks and the Son talks but the Mother does.
<BR>
<BR>This is what Rob Crickett's ministry demonstrates - the doing of it, the
<BR>action of it, the dynamics of a spiritual life. The distrust that some of
<BR>you met him with had to do with your limited understanding of what each
<BR>individual son of God is capable of, given the proper motivation and infusion
<BR>of the Spirit of the Father, the Spirit of the Son, and the Spirit of the
<BR>Spirit.
<BR>
<BR>The authority of the male dominated dogma of the Judeo-Christian lineage
<BR>throws the Mother into the back of the synagogue, or holding down the fort in
<BR>Salvington, or in the person of Mary the mother of Jesus, a docile and
<BR>subservient saint. These depictions of the Divine Minister and her powers
<BR>are insignificant in comparison to her authority and influence in the lives
<BR>of all her children.
<BR>
<BR>The liberation of womankind is giving rise to a demand that God be a Mother
<BR>as well as a Father, and it is unseemly for anyone to be put in a position of
<BR>having to demand the rights of their God, as if a Universal Mother Spirit had
<BR>no vote of her own. Thus, as you get to know Her better, as you familiarize
<BR>yourself with the Spirit of the Spirit in your own life, as you activate
<BR>yourself, as you personally enter into phase two of this Teaching Mission, as
<BR>you wrap around yourself a pattern of Paradise that is inclusive of the three
<BR>persons of Deity, the Father, the Son and the Spirit Mother, you will comport
<BR>yourself thoughtfully, audibly, actively. You will be seen as a dynamic
<BR>pattern of Paradise taking its place in Urantia's unfolding of Light and Life.
<BR>
<BR>Intellectually there's a lot to be learned about this concept - psychically,
<BR>socially and subconsciously - work that may be said to be necessary for you
<BR>to overcome your limitations, your prejudices, and yet if you invite the
<BR>Spirit of the Conjoint Actor to conjoin with you in your allegiance with
<BR>Michael and Father, in ministry to humanity, it will quickly become apparent
<BR>to you how truly dynamic a spirit life can be. It is bigger than you are.
<BR>It is more than you are. And this is the promise that was made - you would
<BR>become greater than yourself.
<BR>
<BR>And so those of you who are afraid of this energy are going to continue to
<BR>live in your heads and in your hearts but if you intend to express
<BR>dynamically the essences of all that you are heir to, it will include a new
<BR>assessment of the "Holy Spirit" and all that She can do for you in your work
<BR>in the realm and for those She seeks to call unto Her as Her own. Just as
<BR>the Father seeks to know His children, so does the Mother seek to draw Her
<BR>babies to her breast and to infuse them with Her divine love.
<BR>
<BR>Alas! Unfortunately, you have such tawdry perceptions of gender, the very
<BR>naming of these essences as Father or Mother, as He or as She, immediately
<BR>diminishes them, and yet how else do we convey but through the Word -- unless
<BR>it be through the Holy Spirit, and even She needs the Son, the Word, to
<BR>reflect the thought, the concept of God.
<BR>
<BR>THOROAH: Thank you, Paulo.
<BR>
<BR>PAULO: I haven't done a thing! I have observed how the Father, Son and
<BR>Spirit have been busy in your lives, have been operating in my absence,
<BR>functioning fully and faithfully, and you have been obedient and open to
<BR>Their ways. I, with you, thank Them!
<BR> Have we got any rebellions going on to quash?
<BR>
<BR>THOROAH: Same old one.
<BR>PAULO: That original thing?
<BR>THOROAH: The residue of it, I would say.
<BR>
<BR>PAULO: Same old one. The grandiosity of such a rebellion renders us
<BR>individually ineffective as even Michael gave over the judgment of his sons
<BR>to the Father, but we have a multitude of minor reflections of the errors of
<BR>our forebearers, if you will, that are in line for correcting and attention,
<BR>and it is in that context that I ask if there are any rebellions needing
<BR>attention. I see you had a little taste of devil worship in your midst in the
<BR>personality of one of your fellows who has been led to cry out to the God of
<BR>Abraham in innermost desire of attaining rightness within himself and
<BR>releasing himself from the stranglehold of Satan worship which he has fallen
<BR>into because of life's vicissitudes.
<BR>
<BR>How opportunistic for you to have such a readily available son of God with
<BR>whom to work, from whom you might elicit some flicker upon which you might
<BR>build a church of God in which this man may come to worship the one
<BR>altogether lovely, righteous and holy. The energy, essence and power of the
<BR>Infinite Spirit in the heart of this young man would open his soul to the
<BR>lights of infinity, illuminating him from the inside, forevermore, enabling
<BR>him to choose again and irrevocably the God of love instead of the god of
<BR>darkness.
<BR>
<BR>Remember to bring the Holy Spirit with you into your communion with him and
<BR>your counsel with him. She will help protect you from his madness and
<BR>relieve him of his heavy burden, allowing the baptism of the spirit to wash
<BR>over you both in a fraternal bonding of sonship which will instill, then,
<BR>some of that dynamism which comes from knowing the support of your fellow
<BR>believers and your fellow workers in the field, your fellow explorers in the
<BR>eternal career.
<BR>
<BR>THOROAH: [tape turned, some lost} ... the dynamics get messed up not only in
<BR>our gender problem but it's like there was the thought, which was the Father,
<BR>there was the word which was the Son and then the Mother which is the Holy
<BR>Spirit -- I like that "Spirit of the Spirit" -- that dynamic. We have it
<BR>chronologically in our mind that all of a sudden we're adding Mother to the
<BR>Father and the Son, but it's all one dynamic. It's not like she's a
<BR>step-mother, in other words.
<BR>
<BR>PAULO: Indeed, and this is a part of the depiction of the personality of the
<BR>Eternal Son, that in the context of parenting the Creator Sons, the Eternal
<BR>Son assumes the role of the wife of God, the mother of sons, even while it is
<BR>the Third Source and Center which is referred to as Universal Mother Spirit,
<BR>and even while it is given the feminine depiction, it is also referred to as
<BR>"he" and "him" and so the Paradise comprehension of gender is far and away
<BR>above and beyond what you perception of gender is based on your human natures
<BR>in a sex world.
<BR>
<BR>The feminine forces for Urantia have been few by comparison to other worlds
<BR>where the Material Son and Daughter were in a position to develop their
<BR>children under optimum conditions. The idea of competition, too, has been a
<BR>drawback for your impression of feminine energies, Mother Spirit. Even the
<BR>idea of Father, Son and Mother has a certain imbalance, according to your
<BR>perceptions, but again, as you leave the limitations of your sex planet and
<BR>begin to see how many kinds of non-sexual liaisons there are, you will see
<BR>that the interweaving of energies is something that has very little to do
<BR>with gender and even less of sex as you ascend. Trinitization is a non-sex
<BR>liaison that produces life - real beings. The birth of the primary midwayers
<BR>was largely a non-sexual event.
<BR>
<BR>The mind, the higher mind, the higher mind in conjunction with morontia
<BR>reality, the morontia reality in conjunction with spirit - these levels of
<BR>reality are capable of producing other realities - living realities, even as
<BR>your creative imaginations are capable of giving birth, giving rise to
<BR>concepts and characterizations of realities which have the potential of
<BR>permanently affecting other minds, souls and spirits. This has nothing to do
<BR>with sex or gender; it has to do with the creative energy and creation is a
<BR>part of you and a part of your nature as you are sons of God and your
<BR>capacities in this regard are allowing you to develop in your own right as a
<BR>son and as a conjoint actor, a being energized, actualized, realized by the
<BR>combined forces of the Paradise Trinity as it is visited on its creations, on
<BR>the universes of time and space.
<BR>
<BR>Why should you not be as dynamic as your Father? You are his son. This is
<BR>your birthright, to also be creative, and to infuse your creations with the
<BR>life that is in you because you are in Him. And if I have somehow
<BR>inadvertently conveyed to you that this is not possible if you are a daughter
<BR>of God, or if you as a daughter of God - even in your male gender - are not
<BR>also influenced by the Infinite Mother Spirit, then either I have failed to
<BR>convey my message correctly or you have failed to see my point.
<BR> As they say, "Are we on the same page?"
<BR>
<BR>THOROAH: I believe so. I can't speak for everyone, Paulo.
<BR>PAULO: Are you relatively clear, Thoroah?
<BR>THOROAH: Yes.
<BR>PAULO: All right then. I trust you will be able to teach these concepts in
<BR>your ministry as you pass by.
<BR>THOROAH: I certainly am going to try.
<BR>
<BR>PAULO: Allow yourself to give yourself up and throw yourself upon the mercy
<BR>of Deity. Ask Deity to be with you and speak for you and through you and in
<BR>you. Ask Deity to move you to move others. Ask the Father to provide for
<BR>you the patterns of Paradise that protect and surround you, that uphold you,
<BR>and arrive before you in anticipation of your coming, as we arrive before Him
<BR>and prepare the way for His coming, as He has arrived before us and prepared
<BR>the way for our coming.
<BR>
<BR>And along those lines, I imagine everyone is all packed and ready for the
<BR>Conference that we will all be attending in Snowbird. It will be my first
<BR>official experience. I am looking forward to the "festival of lights". See
<BR>you there. Farewell.</FONT></HTML>
