<DIV>I originally posted this to tmtalk last night forgetting each list does not
have everybody on it. So here are my views again to TML. Thanks
Calvin. Ron</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Dear Geoff, Calvin, and List:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I understand some of the concept difficulty that Geoff may be experiencing
with the Team's stillness practice. Discussion between the two of you are,
however, just between theoretical concepts unless one can access the
other's experience and translate it to the language each is comfortable
with. I normally avoid discussing real results with the stillness (or
what ever else you may wish to call it), but I will make an exception among
friends. Thanks to the stillness process I do experience an extraordinarily
thorough Thought Adjuster contact. There are nothing like results,
albeit unexpected ones, to provide a third view of the concept under
consideration.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In 1985 nothing worked in the meditation department for me. Either I
just fell asleep or I lost satisfactory mind control. Seeking relief
from self doubt, I abandoned the mantras, the crystals, the soothing music, the
warm-up pictures, candles, meditation tapes, and so on. The answer to
the problem for me was to get rid of all the stage props and to keep the purpose
of Thought Adjuster contact in front of me when I sat down, and that was once a
day every day, to make the contact.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Within six months I had mind control. Within one year I had deep and
restful contact with the spiritual parts of the mind. In three years I had
robust Thought Adjuster contact (1988). From 1988 to the present the
Adjuster has a constant tone "on" with audible give and take between us
and considerable amounts of semi-conscious work which I am aware of but can not
name its content.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The point I wish to make is if anyone wishes to have contact with the
Father as a constant presence and company, there is little else to do but learn
to do the work. Still the mind and deepen mind capacity while
the Father waits beside you as you labor to hear. It must become a habit
and it has to be all the time or the toning reached for by you in the mind
and the development once done in the spiritual circuits
fades. To revitalize it by failing to practice
requires some readjustment by making the connection again and
again.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The need for the stillness WILL END. It will no longer be necessary
when the Adjuster makes his appearance in the consciousness centers with
audible circuitry as a PERMANENT member of the consciousness. It is a
permanent CO-CONSCIOUSNESS. It is no longer necessary to "listen", but now
one needs only respond to the constant flow of communication received in
the consciousness. It is thought to thought now.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>There is a tremendous complexity in Adjuster contact. The Urantia
Book gives us a minimum contribution in telling us about
it. It is really new-consciousness territory and mostly beyond the bounds
of revelation to this date on the planet. I say to the list, if it is the
desire of your soul and your FIRST desire, you need to follow through
completely with the full physical and mental capacity at your
disposal to do so. Use ALL of your inside resources. If
you do not know what resources you have, find them in the silence, and
then apply them in real time. Half measures result
in half results as my many years before 1985 proved for me time and
again.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Teacher contact and channeling, from what I can get from my Adjuster and
from what I learn from all of you, comes with some prerequisites of development,
but once the circle development is met and the wish to receive is communicated,
the channel or the transmission-receiving process can unfold. In other
words the Teachers can establish contact with a knock on their door, but the
Adjuster is less likely to answer the door with just a few knocks because of the
need to reinforce the mind bridge to take the weight of the Adjuster moving in
and with other needs we are not fully apprised of.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>There is simply no substitute for what is being called the quiet time, the
silence, and the sincere wish behind their practice to be connected up to
the higher-self. I am walking proof that it works as advertised, and while
I do not know anything else involved with the process, I ask you if it is not
enough to just have that? Anything else less would not be Adjuster
translation to the consciousness (although you can transmit or channel him
on occasion), and anything more would result in translation to the mansion
worlds.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You who channel or transmit-receive must practice with a connection for
many reasons. It's tough to go with what words you receive mentally and to
say them out loud to a listening group or even the tape recorder. You are
allowed to do this in a conscious state (Alpha), some in semi-conscious (Beta),
and very few in Delta(complete overcontrol). Then, when you are done, the
connection evaporates until the next nudge or some other appointed time
arrives to reopen the connection. There are time intervals in which the
channeler and transmitter-receiver are not consciously alerted to a spiritual
presence and word-activity connection. In these times you tend to forget
about it and go about your business as is necessary.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>When the Adjuster translates from the superconsciousness through the work
of the quiet-time, silence, communion, worship, or other internal spiritual
connectivity, such an action is at the discretion of the Thought Adjuster.
We may have the Supreme desire to have it, but it is the Adjuster who has to
make that decision, and he can only do it when the mind has been prepared
through practice to develop the strength to receive this very powerful part of
the self. At least that is what I have gleaned from the Adjuster I
have. This translation from the highest spiritual levels of the mind to
the material consciousness is final. It will last until death or
translation as I understand it from my Adjuster. It does not leave
you like your circuit connections to the teachers or other channel information
does. There are no intervals of time without the Adjuster present even
though he may be (rarely) "quiet" sometimes. The Adjuster switch is
never flipped "off", but ever "on" upon completion of his status
change from the super-consciousness to the ego-area of awareness.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Those of you who have teachers or work in groups with teachers might
sometime ask them about this area of Adjuster translation to the ego-area of
awareness of consciousness, but such a development I believe must always be
preceded with the mind work done to strengthen the mind and to put into place
those robust connections that will serve as the bridge between the pre-personal
Adjuster and the material consciousness. This work is not conscious when
it begins, and in my case it was finished and then, to my surprise, it suddenly
was. I was not pre-warned. The Thought Adjuster, I believe, uses
that bridge to "cross over" to you and become the increasingly personal Adjuster
that we share partially now and fully after fusion. At least it is my
experience that the Adjuster is no longer completely pre-personal with this
development. Obviously he is not totally personal either or I would not be
writing you.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>There is much to explore in your own practice of the stillness. There
is much to learn from your Adjuster that has lasting import for the future that
may be understood now and experienced in the material moment.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Because language is a problem about the necessity of these practices it is
important, whatever the language used to describe it, to TEACH YOURSELF about
this relationship. Others can not do this for you. It is not so
important to teach yourself about process, but to teach
yourself to go for results and develop your own terms about the
meaning of what you have learned.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My encouragement to you all!</DIV>
