</SPAN>Welcome!<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is
Gerahdt.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Thank you for being here
today.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We have been covering some
basic lessons, ones that have been prepared for other groups in the Teaching
Mission and the Correcting Time.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We
will continue with this series and today we will discern a subtlety that will
give you more ability to separate the wrong path from the one that
works.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial"> <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">It has been the teaching philosophy of the Correcting
Time of the Melchizedeks to emphasize the positive of the lessons, always to
emphasize the positive as that is what is preferred to occupy your mind, rather
than fear of the negative.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We have
taught you that the laws or the workings of the universe complement each
other.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There is the universal law
of “oneness:” The universal law of oneness is more than a rule, more than a
guideline.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is more of an
operating principle of “inclusion,” rather than exclusion.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The universe is inclusive: It accepts
all that exists, even that which is negative and dark, transitory, impermanent
and that which will eventually vanish.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>We have emphasized the permanent:<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>the permanence of love, the working of right relationship—you could call
this love—acceptance, tolerance or lesser subdivisions of inclusion, rather than
rejection and intolerance.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial"> <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">There is the oneness of mind, oneness of purpose,
always allowing for the inclusion of individual directions where free choice is
sovereign.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Your will decisions are
sovereign; and your decisions are accepted as your choice.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And when they are of love and oneness,
inclusive, they participate and complement and contribute to the universe, and
contribute directly to God the Supreme.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>For those who have read these lessons before, and have heard them, this
may be “old hat,” may be pleasantly boring, but we issue them again to new ears,
to open minds — a refresher course for review, to examine your many hundreds, if
not thousands of decisions every day and the decisions of what to think and what
not to think.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You perhaps have not
gone to that n<SUP>th</SUP> degree of examining your thinking in making
conscious choices of what to include in your thinking and what not to.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We urge you to do this, for then you
have consciously, co-creatively, and developmentally engaged with your Thought
Adjuster for the amendment of your mortal, earthly life along more constructive
lines.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial"> <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">You have created an “openness,” and that is also an
operating principle of the universe—openness.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And so, in curiosity, you are able to
express this openness, to examine your thoughts, your universe, your world, your
social relationships—all your relationships.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The opposite is being closed.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Openness and closedness are different in
a degree, to the universe principle of inclusion.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Openness allows mortal decisions to
explore the unknown to that mind, and thus contribute in new ways to the
Supreme.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Openness allows you,
encourages you to express in God-like ways.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Even the Gods are curious. Creators are
inherently curious.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And you as
mortal creators are curious.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The
opposite of openness is to be closed. To be closed is to maintain the
circularity of your own thinking within your mind, and this surely is a most
finite realm to live in.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial"> <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">There is an interplay between all these:<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Openness, curiosity, tolerance,
tolerance for yourself to think in new ways, tolerance of other people’s
thoughts and ways of living and making decisions.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>If your neighbor were to paint their
house an outlandishly vibrant, loud color, would you say that individual is
bad?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Would you draw a judgment
against them?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And if you did, what
does that say about you?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>For some,
introspection is a closed loop, a place where you don’t go because you get
lost.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Yet introspection allows you
to examine yourself, your thinking, and the best way to do that is with a guide,
one who is on the inside, whom you trust—your Thought Adjuster, of course.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial"> <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">We urge you to examine the limitations of your
thinking: Ask questions, be curious about yourself.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Do I have limited thinking?<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Do I have limited beliefs?<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>If I do, what are they?<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Why do I hold them?<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Where did they come from?<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>What in my living and my being maintains
them and continues to support them?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>And then, once your Thought Adjuster, your psychic-spiritual ministers
awaken those issues in your mind, and you sort and sift them and look at them,
and answer those questions for each one, then you decide whether you want to
keep them or replace them.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>For
surely in the mindal circuits of human minds, the workings of them are such that
you need to replace beliefs and thoughts and ways of thinking with other beliefs
and ways of thinking that are positive.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>The way your minds operate, if you remove a belief, it is still there in
the registry of your mind and can pop up again when an issue or subject sparks
that old belief.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Have a new belief,
replace your old beliefs and ingrain new ones into your thinking.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We suggest that you reframe your life
with this new belief, and examine your old beliefs, re-interpreting them with
your new beliefs.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial"> <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Some of you have highly developed spiritual beliefs
and ideas in yourself, in your being, yet you continue to act in lesser
emotional ways that do not reflect those highly evolved spiritual beliefs.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is an inconsistency, is it
not?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And applying the universe
principle of inclusion into your life, you say, “I accept that.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I accept that there is a difference
between my spiritual beliefs and my emotional expressions and my emotional
thought responses to others and to situations that rankle me.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I admit that they rankle me.”<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This admission is not a matter of
recanting erroneous ways of thinking, but simply an admission that you do think
this way, and lays the foreground, the groundwork for replacing those beliefs
with more compatible beliefs, new ways of behaving.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So when your neighbor has painted their
house with a garish color and you have a negative emotional response that
continues and develops day after day and week after week, then that is evidence
that your tolerance, your ability to express tolerance, to be tolerant, is less
than what your spiritual beliefs would indicate.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is called, “spiritual/emotional
maturity,” seeking a match between the two.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This journey of matching your spiritual
development with your emotional responses will continue well into your morontia
life.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Yes, and it will continue
past fusion.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial"> <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">You see, when you are fused that is the
thought/belief/commitment that becomes eternal, yet you will continue to have
these niggling feelings within yourself about the outer.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You will continue to mature, seeking
perfect reflection between your spiritual development and your emotional
responses.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The name and title of
emotional responses will change, of course, to reflect your new statuses as you
grow through your morontial development.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>You now have body emotional responses—those responses will still remain
with you in the morontial but your body will not be responsive in the same
way.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It will be more reflected in
your morontial energetic body, your aura, so to speak, but it will still be
there, just as today you can see someone who becomes very angry, become reddened
in the face, their pupils constrict, their blood pressure increases, their heart
rate increases, their muscle tension increases.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Emotional responses are reflected in
your body.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>In your aura that you
have now, these responses are also reflected in the colors and density in your
aura; they will also be reflected in your morontial aura as well, and people
will as easily see your emotional response in that aura as they now see them in
your eyes and your muscles and the color of your skin in this
lifetime.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">As ancient organisms on this planet, these
mechanisms, these demonstrations were much as the demonstrations of your baboons
and chimpanzees and other primates and other animals, who demonstrate fierceness
to potential enemies.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>But for the
spiritually evolving individual who is striving for maturity and complete match
between the spiritual and emotional realms of their lives, these are indications
that there is a mismatch.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We spoke
recently of innocence.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Innocence is
not fierce.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is reflected however
in your aura:<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>If you are not
innocent, are you cosmopolitan? sophisticated? worldly? all-knowing of both
realms of evil and good?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Yes, and
these too are reflected in your aura, but as material, mortal, emotional beings,
these are not easily reflected to you in your body responses, though if you are
able to easily see your aura, these too would be reflected.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>They would be as though you had
presented your diplomatic credentials to the universe in your aura.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So this is more difficult for you to
examine within yourself.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">For you who are here, and those who read these words,
we know that you are already on the route, on the path of examining the inner
with the outer, the consistency of your spiritual beliefs with your emotional
reflections.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You can be grateful
that you feel some angst or uneasiness in your life when you have these
emotional responses—that is recognition on an early level that there is
disagreement between your inner selves, between your spiritual beliefs and your
emotional responses.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And upon
request, you will receive direction and instructions how to remove this in your
life.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">It may be that you will be confronted with further
disagreeable relationships; you will repeat old patterns of behavior, which are
destructive; you will become unhappy and dissatisfied with your life and seek a
life of peace and stillness, satisfaction and fulfillment.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>A simple state of peace would be a
wonderful state of existence for many of you.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Do not fear that angst from the outer
goading you to positions of peace.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Yes, this is a rather sophisticated lesson today
compared to the ones we have given.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>It is a reminder for you to examine yourself.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is easy to examine others, is it not,
to point your finger and say, “Ha ha!<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>You’re a hypocrite. You are not expressing what you truly say you
believe.”<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Are you able to use those
words for yourself, and rather denigrate yourself and feel guilty about your
behavior?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We urge you to use this
energy to be pleased that you recognize this, and we urge you to have a desire
to take on corrective action, to have your emotional responses match what you
believe.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>(Long pause.)<SPAN

</SPAN>I have some questions and they really fit this lesson, so I’m glad you
had this lesson today.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I really
believe in trying to keep my thoughts focused on the positive, and keep my
emotions lined up with what I believe in this great lesson.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I’m struggling in this area due to a lot
of information that I have come across that relates to the Correcting Time and
the changes that have to happen on this planet, because a lot of people are
looking—we have to deal in this physical plane, so I’m looking at the changes
that will occur.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There are a lot of
people that study these things a lot more than I do, that think that we are
going to have to have an awful lot of chaos—you know our corrupt financial
systems are corrupt, political and economic systems—they say in order to build a
new system, the old foundations have to crumble; you can’t build a new godly
system on top of a corrupt one.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So,
this brings up issues of collapse of monetary systems, which what will we use
for means of exchange, growing their own food, survival issues.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And then I get a lot of turmoil because
these are not the positive, happy kind of thoughts that I like to keep my mind
focused on, but I’m going to be like the ostrich with my head in the sand,
ignoring the physical plane, you know, be so spiritually minded to no earthly
good, so if you could give us some insight into how to stay balanced and maybe
address some of the survival issues, that would be greatly helpful for
me.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

based on competition and greed and corruption.<SPAN

of corruption and greed, so to me, this implies that the systems that are
running are these corrupt systems—they are not just going to vanish, are

collapses, and we have no means of exchange, people aren’t paying for things,

</SPAN>Certainly.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We will address
your question on two levels.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>First
is the societal level.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You live in
a world of huge processes that have incredible social, economic and material
inertia.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There is also an operant
principle of the struggle to continue on in the old way of believing and doing
business, which helps maintain that inertia.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We will use a parallel of the old
Depression Era in the last century, which caught many people unawares.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You recall that that economic collapse
happened rather suddenly, and the repercussions from October 1929 took a number
of years to work out to the last position, before recovery was possible.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And during that time people were very
fearful.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>During the process, people
with high indebtedness suffered most quickly as the means of income did not
equal their indebtedness, whether for mortgages or for stocks that had been
leveraged, or even eventually for their utility bills.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Those who had no debts or few debts had
this process work out over months and years, before it affected them more
deeply.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There are safeguards that

ways, occurred most recently in the last few years of this last decade.<SPAN

collapse.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And you have slowly seen
the outworking of that, where tens of thousands of jobs have left this state,
have disappeared, where tens of thousands of people have had to relocate to
accept jobs of lesser pay, lesser benefits.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The fortunate have been able to sell
their homes and move easily; the less fortunate have had to wait for
foreclosure, have taken far lesser jobs.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>You have seen this process work out slowly in your economy, and this is
the arena of the mega affecting the micro, where you are the micro, and the
processes that work in the world economy affect you personally.<SPAN

financial palms of financial institutions, surely will be squeezed very hard
when those institutions place pressure on them.<SPAN

happen.”<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You are asking us to tell
you how to apply these lessons, these processes of the outer to you
individually.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We continue to tell
you the same advice:<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>“Live your
life in ways that brings peace.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Live your life making decisions that take you out of the control of other
people.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Yes, I know you need to
live in houses.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>That is the way
this world and this economy, this country, lives.<SPAN

house, affects how you live.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

so many times before, and we will continue to advise you to protect
yourself.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Live simply, make
decisions that help you live simply, that help you live at peace.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Do your economic decisions make you feel
good, make you look better than your neighbor to have a newer car, a bigger car,
a bigger house, a bigger swimming pool?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>You see, many decisions that affect your life are made on the basis [of]
ego, your reflective value, compared to others.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And what is so slippery about this is
that they are made every day in small ways.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Do I bring a sandwich to work, or do I
eat a $15 lunch?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Do I backpack in
the mountains, or do I go to Tahiti to live for a few weeks?<SPAN

that you lost your home, your car was repossessed (tape turned)…and what do you
say to your spouse, your children, as you weep at the table, your head held in
your hands?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>“Oh what I would give
to have made different decisions two years ago!<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We were so happy then; we seemed to have
had it all, and now today it is so much different.”<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Your question is a deep question, for
you are asking a question about the inner life—how to live in peace, rather than
live in fear.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Living in fear
immobilizes your ability to think clearly, to make decisions with reasoned
thought, to be dispassionate, yet caring in your decisions.<SPAN

are made in fear as well, and nothing is changed.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Living as a spend-thrift on your credit,
leveraging your equity for more toys, more property, more material goods that
reflects great prosperity, really, from this perspective, only shows how
impoverished you are spiritually and how you have not applied the truth that you
have learned intellectually to your lives emotionally, integrated them within
yourself so that one side reflects accurately the other.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Oftentimes you live in fear too, because
you have placed yourself into a realm of the future, the “what if land”.<SPAN

land” forever?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>No, you must
withdraw from that.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Some people do
not own televisions, do not subscribe to the newspaper, yet are fully aware of
the major events of their life around them.<SPAN

marketing society that markets fear, that markets your hypersensitivity to the
world around you, urging you to buy to feel secure.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I have mixed these two lessons of the outer and the
inner purposely because you cannot be at peace and accept the fear that is given
to you.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Make decisions about what
you listen to. Make decisions about what media participates in your life.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You do not have to be a “Duh, what me
worry?” type of person to live consciously, to participate actively in your
society and contribute to it.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You

group—this group and other groups—that we are addressing across this nation that
are asking similar questions.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You
should be conscious that this is occurring because your stirrings come from deep
within you, your deeper levels of intuition are shaking you by the coat sleeve,
saying, “Wake up!<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Your world is
changing. Find sure ground upon which to stand, live securely, live in peace,
and avoid fear.”<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>For what will you
give your young children for their future if you only give them fear?<SPAN

not have to be “of it.”<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You could
play in the material world, but not be dirty.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It all comes from within expressing on
the outer. When the outer is reflecting inside yourself as fear, we would
suggest you reorient your vision to that which is permanent, that which is
truly, eternally, universally real.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Concentrate on the positive, think in terms of love and abundance; make
decisions that are love-based and abundance-based.<SPAN
