<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">You have heard it said that “You should be wise concerning the signs of the times,” and yet it is true that most every generation confuses the signs of the times and construes more meaning in the events than is suggested by reality if viewed from a global level.<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">Part of the confusing aspect is the inability or unwillingness to view different arenas of life as separate and distinct, even while having some connection to others.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>For example, blending the economic, political, and spiritual activities as one, such that if there are struggles in one arena it is all too easy to misconstrue and apply these difficulties to all arenas.<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">You are encouraged to recognize there are interconnected levels, but the social, political, economic, and spiritual realms are distinct. Political instability, in and of itself, does not connote to spiritual instability.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The same goes for any other arena of growth.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The more serious correlations occur when instability bleeds into every institution.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This very uncertainty creates spiritual questioning.<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">But it is important to realize that the spiritual arena is transcendent of the other arenas.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There are areas, even on your world, where there is extreme poverty, social isolation, and political chaos, and yet enlightened individuals exist who seek to know the inner spirit and to be of service to the world around them.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>From the spiritual perspective, you can recognize that you are able to transcend your circumstances and overlay the vision from spiritual sources with the material plans and efforts.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Without seeing this distinction between the different arenas it becomes more difficult to engage the spiritual arena when the other aspects are depressed.<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">In times of uncertainty it is somewhat critical that there be torch bearers -- those who can light the way for those caught in the darkness and uncertainty of trying times.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Your ability to stand firm in the spiritual principles that have formed your foundation will be key in bringing about more enlightened patterns on a societal level as other individuals can be inspired with a sense of purpose by recognizing those who live with purpose -- the purpose to know God, to grow in realization, and share in the harvest with those who see the fruits.<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">In essence, tonight I encourage you to be the torch bearers who recognize that the spiritual life is not bound up in the material life – the economics, or the politics – but stands alone as a path that can be pursued regardless of the other realities around you.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Utilize the foundations that you have received through this long period of instruction to cast away the doubts and uncertainties so that you may more effectively be able to minister as you pass by, so that your certainty about the higher realities and the ability to grow in the spirit, will permeate your being and release out upon your surroundings.<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">Aaron, the very reference you made to speak with certainty about what is happening or what our hope is, reflects back on a conversation that truth for me isn’t necessarily going to ring for someone else.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So I think what I hear you saying is to state your own truth and move on.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There’s nothing to convince anyone about.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It’s simply a reference to our own security as far as the future is concerned.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Am I making myself clear?<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">*<SPAN style="mso-tab-count: 1"> </SPAN>Aaron: I believe so, and you are right, in that it is your certainty that will be impressive if your actions reflect what it is you are certain about.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>One who is wrong can be certain in their mind, but their actions do not reflect the alluring path that the certainty would suggest.<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">So by recognizing all that you have learned, and manifesting the characteristics that you know portray the Father – truth, kindness, beauty – and having a certainty about it, this is the way to impress and to be a light rather than needing to tell someone what to be.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Of course, if one is asking you may share, but it is immeasurably more important to trust in the very qualities which have led you to where you are.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Bob S: Aaron, I have a question along the same lines as Virginia.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I am concerned that in advancing our spiritual knowledge we’ll get so far ahead of other people that it will become difficult to communicate with them.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>They won’t understand some of the truths that we see and it will be hard for them to accept what we’re saying.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>What’s your response to that?<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">*<SPAN style="mso-tab-count: 1"> </SPAN>Aaron: To one who is seeking truth, it is not hard to follow.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>To one trying to give truth, it is not always easy to give, for one has to be in a place to receive it.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>But if you seek to be truthful, honest, sincere, and kind, then this translates into any language, and actually creates the opportunities for you to share the advancing truths as one’s mind is opened to the possibilities.<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 do have to be aware, or discern somewhat, the level of development a person might be at, so that you can tailor your words in a way that would make the truth you would like to share more palatable to the mind receiving it.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>One sure means of building a bridge of communication is to speak to the spirit within their minds more than you would try to speak to their intellect alone.<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">By having a conscious awareness that you have this common reality within each of you it becomes easier to let the spirit in you translate your efforts for the spirit in them.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Sometimes all your words are for not, and the person walks away simply being impressed with your sincerity.<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">Bob S: No, it has shown me that it’s a much more difficult job than just knowing the truth in your own mind.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Is that why Jesus wasn’t critical of other people?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>That he waited for them to say something that he could expand upon or help them to understand at a higher level?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>He was, by letting them talk, trying to get a handle on their level of spiritual sophistications?<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">*<SPAN style="mso-tab-count: 1"> </SPAN>Aaron: Yes and no -- meaning yes, he had the ability to recognize where someone was at and to expand upon the concepts they held, but one of the more alluring characteristics of Jesus was that he truly wanted to know the thoughts of others and was very curious and inquisitive and truly interested in everything that they thought.<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">Bob S: And that sincerity they perceived as concern or love and it led them to be more open to what he had to say?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">*<SPAN style="mso-tab-count: 1"> </SPAN>Aaron: Yes, this did come as a result, and truly his motive was not to seek for a way to teach other people, but rather to truly know other people.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Because he was so interested in them, when in conversation he would naturally be able to expand upon a concept because he so thoroughly understood what they were saying.<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">Many people on your world have difficulty being truly interested in what others have to say, to various degrees, because of the protective instinct due to the distortions which cause people to be concerned for themselves, and how they are perceived, whereas Michael was free from this concern for self.<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">And so once you have more complete trust in the overcare of the Father, you are better able to let go and just be with other people, sharing naturally when it comes about.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Does this expand on the concepts?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
