<P>TEACHERS: MERIUM, TOMAS and DOC<BR>Topic(s):</B> What Are We To Teach?</P><B>
<P>Elena:</B> <I>Dear Father, it is such a pleasure to be here so that we can
gather together, and we're more than two, Father, and we are gathering in your
name. We would like to come here to listen to the words of whoever is here, our
many instructors, and to make ourselves, our hearts, our minds ready to receive
the wonderful words that you have for us today on how we could be closer and
ever closer to you, Father, and to-- Well, that says it all. If we always are
closer to you, then that really is the main thing that we need to be, so be with
us today and thank you for this wonderful day together. Amen.</P></I><B>
<P>Group:</B> Amen.</P><B>
<P>MERIUM:</B> Good afternoon, Lovelies, my name is Merium. You know me well as
your cosmic babysitter. </P><B>
<P>Group:</B> Hi Merium.</P><B>
<P>MERIUM:</B> What a delight to see new children in our midst, Pat and Dorothy,
as you are named. You are most welcome. We have been enjoying fresh air in other
personalities such as yours and finding it refreshing. There is always a danger
when you find something you cherish, to hold it close, to clasp it to your
breast in such a way as to never let it go, and so this tends to invoke in you a
sense of sanctity and sanctuary which, when socialized, will enlarge your
community, and each time a new member of the community is introduced, it
enlarges the circumference of your prayer, and so it feeds the soul, it
stimulates the spirit, and it enlivens the social aspects of religion. </P>
<P>We thought to speak today about who we are and what we do. We like to do that
occasionally, as an introduction, and it is also true that as we engage in this
practice seasonally, we are establishing our history as we go. We are creating a
culture; we are forging a new way of life. We are bringing spirit into the
finite dimension, thus altering the very molecules by your consciousness. --
your superconsciousness! - and this can be understood as morontia reality.</P>
<P>Morontia reality is that vast realm of conscious intelligence - "being-ness"
- that consumes the space between a finite material way of life and full-fledged
spirit, for we do not become full-fledged spirit overnight or as we cross over.
There is, in scripture, a reference that says, "In my Father's house there are
many mansion," and so those mansion worlds are where we learn more about spirit
and relinquish those qualities of our animal nature that remain with us as we
traverse the spheres of illumination into the presence of God completely. I will
invite Tomas to come in and talk for awhile.</P><B>
<P>TOMAS:</B> Good afternoon, loyal students. It warms my heart to be with you
again and to feel the camaraderie that fills this circle around the figurative
campfire as we sit with the Great Teacher, our Master, Michael-- (long pause)
Christ Son. </P>
<P>I am using jargon here that may not be familiar to our guests, and so I
pause, lest I inadvertently cause confusion rather than bring clarity, which is
my task as a Teacher in this Teacher Corps to which both Merium and I belong, as
well as other Teachers. </P>
<P>We refer to Michael as our Lord. He is known to humanity as Jesus of
Nazareth. But in our circles and circuits we know him as a Michael Son of the
Order of Michael Sons, Creator Sons of the many local universes of the seven
superuniverses of time and space. So when I refer to Michael, or Christ Michael,
I am talking about the risen Christ, the Sovereign Creator of our universe, the
local universe to which we are assigned - in particular to your corner of the
galaxy.</P>
<P>You have been in isolation due to the Lucifer Rebellion and you are in
rehabilitation due to the Adamic Default. Michael has come to your planet as
Jesus and inaugurated some changes in your status as universe citizens and we
are here to follow through with the work of our several predecessors in the work
of advancing this world toward a state of mind and being we call Light and Life.
</P>
<P>Light and Life, to those of you who are romantics, is when we all live
happily every after. It is depicted in scripture, in Isaiah, where the ox and
the lamb play and a child shall lead them in these Elysian fields of
God-consciousness and a genuine demonstration of the brotherhood of man. </P>
<P>That introduction now aside, I'd like to turn our attention today to what is
it exactly that we teach, we who are in the Teacher Corps. You call this the
Teaching Mission. What is it that you are learning to teach? What are we all
about? We are simply teaching friendship with God. </P>
<P>When Jesus was here he taught that Our Father is a loving God who cherishes
His children. And when Jesus left here, when he departed from your world to
return to his administrative position as Sovereign of his local universe, he
left the Spirit of Truth in his stead, which serves to lead you each and all
into the presence of the Master, he himself, Christ the Lord
and then in
prayerful converse with him, our elder Brother and creator Father, we can
worship the Universal Father in Paradise. </P>
<P>So we come to teach friendship with perfection, our Source, the First Source
and Center in Paradise. Perhaps before I go too far we could relax a little bit
into our "being-ness" and stretch our socialization of these words, in context,
what each of your idea is as to what God is, for even those who do not share an
intellectual conception of what God is, nonetheless share certain true
realities. It is in faith of our mutual shared realities that we are able to
listen to each other express his or her God-consciousness, each of which is a
brush-stroke on the canvas of creation. Do we have a volunteer? What is
God?</P><B>
<P>Pat:</B> God, to me, is the epitome of love. The love that he extends to us
is immeasurable. And by that I mean what he did by giving us Jesus Christ - who
died on the cross for all of our sins - he has given us a pathway to eternal
lasting life through Christ. That in itself, when you think about it, and what
he did in that one act of giving his only begotten son, his only son, that we --
and I know within myself we are all sinners, we all have that capacity to fail,
to descend -- but he gave us the way out of that. </P>
<P>And by that, not only is he a God of love, he is also a just God. And
someday, we have to be held accountable for our actions, whether we sin by
omission or mission, so He is a loving God, but he is going to hold us all
accountable for our actions of what we did, so the life we live here in that
friendship is imperative, I feel, that we grasp the reality of that -- what it
means to love one another, and that's what he wanted us to do, was to "love your
neighbor as yourself" and that's a difficult thing to do. It's not an easy task
that we love all these people and we extend that friendship that we were talking
about.</P>
<P>But in my mind, that is what it is: God is love, but He is a just God and He
does have a very strict requirement for us all. We all have a purpose and we all
have a job and we have got to adhere to the laws and rules that He set down, and
those are written in scripture. That's my version.</P><B>
<P>TOMAS:</B> Thank you for your brilliant color, which adds to our picture of
God's nature. He is indeed a God of love. And love is the desire to do good to
others. As you mentioned,
(long pause)
well,
</P><B>
<P>Reneau:</B> Are we waiting?</P><B>
<P>TOMAS:</B> I am backtracking because I was going to get caught up in the
sharing but I'd also like to hear from others as to what God is, for there are
other perspectives, other definitions, and other colorations on the nature of
God that we seek to share when we profess to want to express God in our lives as
we engage in friendship with God. I was going to say (and will if I can keep it
in focus)
. No. It has slipped away again, so what other definitions are
there?</P><B>
<P>Reneau:</B> Well, besides being just and all that you say, God is also an
exceedingly merciful God so have no fear and the greatest sin is doubt, you see,
not anything that you say or do, but it's the doubt that God loves you that
leads you into sin. So
and in his mercy he will show you that that's not the
case, so God is love always. Love is the glue that holds everything
together.</P>
<P>The scientists even say that we know that the earth and things spin around
but they don't know why things don't just go flying off and the only explanation
they have is God's love is keeping it all together.</P><B>
<P>TOMAS:</B> So we have a God of love who is the upholder of the
universe.<BR><B>Reneau:</B> Um-hum. Maker, creator, upholder.<BR><B>TOMAS:</B>
Merciful, just and exacting. Interesting, so far. What else have we got?</P><B>
<P>Elena:</B> Well, I think that God is the Creator and one thing I am learning
in this Teaching Mission is that we actually have pieces of God inside of us and
that learning that creativity and the energy and what to do with that, and
learning through the flow of energy and love, and beginning to understand our
power of creativity and developing ourselves in what God created us to be, and
so I think that's one of the real miracles --</P>
<P>As God's children, we are to learn not only the love but also the ability to
create and he has given us the choice to do that, so he is a benevolent Father,
giving us the tools that we need to learn and then the guidance through that
learning process. This is how I look at God. </P><B>
<P>TOMAS:</B> A creator. What fun! For are we not all "a chip off the old
block"?<BR><B>Group:</B> (Laughter) Yeah! Right!</P><B>
<P>Esmeralda:</B> I think he is the patient God. If He weren't patient, He would
have discarded me a long time ago.</P><B>
<P>Reneau:</B> In contrast to our impatience, you see.<BR><B>Esmeralda:</B> So
he is a patient, loving, merciful Father. And we all strive to be good parents,
too.<BR><B>TOMAS:</B> So," God isn't finished with us yet."<BR><B>Esmeralda:</B>
Oh I don't think so. I don't think he will be ever! He is eternal. </P><B>
<P>Dorothy:</B> I tend to agree with that, in that we are all a piece of art in
progress and there are some fabulous pieces out there that God gave us to enjoy
in each other and I think he continues to bless our lives and our world with the
beauty of our world.</P><B>
<P>Esmeralda:</B> But you know, I think that we will not really know what beauty
is until we reach the morontia worlds. They say it is-- our earthly world here
is beautiful but
and I think that's when we start to grow the most, as well,
and I think we will--</P><B>
<P>Dorothy:</B> Well, they say "travel broadens." (Group
laughter)<BR><B>Esmeralda:</B> And it will take us a long, long time to grow
enough.<BR><B>TOMAS:</B> If you were to
</P>
<P><B>Esmeralda:</B> When you think about Abraham, who has been -- departed this
earth what? </P><B>
<P>Reneau:</B> Four thousand years.</P><B>
<P>Esmeralda:</B> Maybe three or four thousand years ago, has still not reached
Paradise, and he is the main
isn't he your administrator of your teaching
service?</P><B>
<P>TOMAS:</B> He has an administrative post, yes, over certain factions of the
Teaching Mission, but Machiventa Melchizedek is our overall administrator. He is
our acting Planetary Prince and serves at the pleasure of Michael. Together they
have sanctioned and fostered the Teacher Corps, which reflects in our presence
with you today -- not only in our presence with you today but in the
consciousness of hundreds even thousands of people across the globe whose
awareness is being piqued by the growing awareness of divinity as part of your
character. Beyond morals and beyond civilized behaviors, a compelling yearning
for connection with the Divine is stirring. Father God has, since Pentecost,
dwelt within each of his children (each of his children capable of making
soul-developing decisions) but I digress into dogma. I am trying to keep our
focus today on what is it that we teach. </P>
<P>We are not here to teach dogma. Dogma is created as a part of evolutionary
religion and while it is true we are creating history even as we sit here this
afternoon, I want to keep our focus on God Himself -- or Itself
or Herself,
and not our attitudes and definitions as they create scaffolding. Much as my
lesson recently about Nalda, the woman at the well, who sought to change the
subject and take away the focus of her relationship with this great Reality,
this awesome Creator, and divert it over to other philosophic or political
topics. This is what you do best -- feather your nest. Let me help you fly.</P>
<P>Friendship with God presupposes you are your own best friend. And this is the
point I have been attempting to get back to, since you Pat spoke, for it is an
important part of the realization of this mission we are on -- a step into
morontia reality, even as it exists on Urantia (earth) today, as it exists here
in this environment in Rio Rancho in this living room/campfire around which we
sit in the presence of our Lord, to know more about the divine reality of which
the material reality is but a shadow, even as the shadow in which mortals live
is an architectural sphere designed specifically for your use and comfort in
this phase of your existence and which is truly as perfect in your sphere as my
environment is perfect for me and Paradise is perfect for God Himself. </P>
<P>Each of us has the opportunity to be all that we can be, and that is LOVE.
Since we are sons and daughters of this living God, it does not immediately lift
you up and out and away from the finite reality that you are a part of, thus you
live and move and have your being in divine reality, even as you exist in the
flesh. Can you feel the presence of God in the immediate environment? Can you
sense the energy of the personality circuit that is bestowed upon you (and us in
our realm as well), to reveal who we are as his creations? </P>
<P>We sit around and talk about God, which sets us apart from the animal that
cannot know God. However it is you want to define it, each of you here know God,
and God knows each of you. Because we know God, we are able to solve problems,
think things through, love one another, rejoice, create, build, solve, worship,
play and live. This is something to celebrate! This is the dignity of sonship,
daughtership. Herein we are noble. This is our heritage as God's kids. Naturally
we want to grow up to please Our Father. He has given us so much. We love Him
for being the Protector and Comforter and Provider. </P>
<P>We love him also because He is in us and we can have faith in each other as a
result of knowing Him and how He exists within each other as a viable reality.
Something to which we can appeal, something we know can be merciful given the
mortal willingness to reflect God's mercy, and so our consciousness of God's
reality expands into the arena through us where we encounter God in others. </P>
<P>We look for God in others, knowing full well that the faith child wants to be
drawn out and lifted up. Wants to be encompassed by this divine love. Wants to
be exalted in sonship. And wants to serve in ways which are shown to be the
right path, forgiving, bestowing, receiving and transmitting that love to those
who have yet to understand that Our Father is love. And so when we teach love,
we reveal ourselves. </P>
<P>If you have been taught that God is a jealous God, you will be afraid to be
yourself for fear God will be angry. You will be afraid to love others for fear
God will demand your undivided attention. Better you find out through faith in
the divine will, through your own experience, or through your own spirit
awareness of what love means than to disallow learning. </P>
<P>Our Mother is a great one for allowing children to play and learn socializing
skills at their own pace and in their own way, knowing that much is learned by
trial and error, and that some lessons are not learned except in difficult
circumstances, and so children do learn, and sometimes they learn the hard way
until they learn it does not need to be that difficult, until we reach the point
where we want to be with God all the time, we want God to be with us all the
time because He makes us feel good. He provides the ultimate security. </P>
<P>In Him we live and move and have our being. It is a morontia reality, one
which is between worlds, but one in which you -- I say "you" for I am already
morontia-ized. I live within the morontia zones; you are still finite, but even
as finite creatures you can rise up to the stature of morontia beings in your
awareness. This will enhance your physical environment. It will affect those
with whom you come into contact. It will impact your world. God is powerful! And
you have that God fragment built into your composition now such that you and God
can work together to advance love, mercy and service to this world - this world
in time and space.</P>
<P>I have talked quite enough today. I have outdone myself. I am going to turn
the reigns back over to Merium who promises to refresh you with her charm of
personality. We remain with you and observe your comings and goings, your
struggles and victories. Your progress is reflected on high in the living
records of planetary history, and so it goes. Enjoy.</P><B>
<P>Group:</B> Thank you, Tomas. </P>
<P align=center><STRONG>[Intermission]</STRONG></P>
<P><STRONG>MERIUM: </STRONG>I'm back to loosen you up a little bit. Tomas gets
professorial, and formal. He likes to push the envelope, but he is planting
seeds. All of them don't fall in the furrow just right and so they don't all
sprout but he is an earnest worker, a real farmer. I like him. (We do, too.) I
like me, too! (So do we.) I'm a lot more fun. I'm a lot younger and have much
more of a sense of play, but I too can get heady. We had a lot of frame of
reference to day, which was par for the course, considering we were talking
about the Teaching Mission and the Teacher Corps and these are scaffolding and
required some definition, but our reality extends beyond this scaffolding to
genuine faith in our divine Source and Destiny.</P>
<P>All that considered and all that aside, shall we engage in a communication?
Anybody want to jump in with commentary or questions? Free to cultivate the soil
among yourselves.</P><B>
<P>Dorothy:</B> Miriam?</P><B>
<P>MERIUM:</B> Please speak up for the record so it can be transcribed, which
reminds me: you will be broadcast.</P><B>
<P>Dorothy:</B> Okay. Just a quick question, Merium. I was very happy that you
came today. This is Pat and my first meeting with you, and Elena had mentioned
that you might be here but I was delighted because in my past I have a Miriam in
my spiritual life who was very significant so I want to thank you for coming
today. </P><B>
<P>MERIUM:</B> Oh, you are welcome, and I thank you as well. We will be great
friends!<BR><B>Dorothy:</B> Yes, I think so.</P><B>
<P>MERIUM:</B> I want to teach you something from my perspective, and that is
that there is an Order of Miriam, just as there is an Order of Melchizedek, an
Order of Ruth and an Order of Michael Sons. They are difficult to explain; each
one is unique, but the Miriams are quite heartfelt. They are rather earnest. It
is hard to describe how the Miriam distinguishes itself but we do have a certain
quality that we share. Perhaps it would be like if you were to say you are
Capricorn and find another Capricorn; there is a connection there, whether you
know what it is or not, it is curious enough that you have an association
whether it means anything or not. The same is true for Volvo owners, or
Volkswagen owners. There is a connection there that allows for a circuit to
form. And so I have a circuit with other Miriams and we have something in common
that even we could probably not define. </P>
<P>The Michael Sons, of course, are the Creators of the thousands of local
universes that populate the universes of the Grand Universe, and the Order of
Melchizedeks is an order of priesthood. Incidentally, we have (I think Tomas
told you, a Melchizedek who oversees our doings and a number of other
Melchizedek receivers participate in this movement some call the Teaching
Mission). The Ruths are almost all caretakers of some distinction. There is just
something about a Ruth that cares deeply.</P>
<P>Your friend Miriam, what was she like? </P><B>
<P>Dorothy:</B> She wasn't a person. She was a person as you were saying like I
belong, a sisterhood with Miriam.</P><B>
<P>Merium:</B> And what was she like?<BR><B>Dorothy:</B> I don't
know.<BR><B>Merium:</B> I see. Well
<BR><B>Dorothy:</B> She wasn't a
person.<BR><B>Merium:</B> I understand. She was invisible. </P><B>
<P>Dorothy:</B> As Ruth, or Melchizedek. The same. And I was assigned to
Miriam.<BR><B>Merium:</B> Wonderful. Is it your personal teacher?
<STRONG><BR></STRONG><B>Dorothy:</B> It was another spiritual group I belonged
to.<BR><B>Merium:</B> I see. And so she was indeed a friend and sister in the
spirit.<BR><B>Dorothy:</B> Yes, I believe so. Very much so.</P><B>
<P>Merium:</B> Well, very interesting that she, of the Order of Miriam, and
myself have something in common, even as she was assigned to work with another
group, I am assigned to the Teacher Crops. But this is indicative of how our
planetary administration has engaged us all in the process of advancing your
world. It is not limited to the Teaching Mission. There are other divisions and
branches of helpers, busily engaged in enhancing spirit consciousness and global
connections, even political, social and so forth. </P>
<P>We are engaged, really, in a renaissance, a spiritual renaissance of sorts,
which helps to appreciate that on one hand we are creating a new epoch, a new
era, a new plateau, a new rung on the stepladder of ascension. Even as there are
those who are busily engaged in scrapping and wrangling and destroying
themselves and each other in chaos and consternation. It is an effort indeed to
stay one step ahead of that rung that would have you all engaged in the same
kinds of animalistic behaviors because even though you may be edified and
civilized, culture and illuminated, you are still animals, and when the light is
snuffed out by one foolish thing or another, it gives the other part of your
nature an opportunity to run you ragged. </P>
<P>I have and we have enjoyed many lessons on the animal nature, from a seraphim
pair of friends. We have engaged in many lessons indeed throughout the many
years of our formal existence. These records that are being created today are
the written records, but we seek to engage you in the act of being <I>living
records</I> of your own evolution and your own advancement into morontia reality
-- into that sphere of light and life that you can sustain and, as you can,
maintain on a daily basis no matter what trying circumstance may seek to take
you off balance. </P>
<P>We are noted windbags, all of us. You would think we like to hear the sound
of our own voice, but let me tell you now, since this is a great opportunity, if
any of you are interested in learning this odd technique of
receiving/transmitting (from your perspective), we would be happy to work with
you and practice with you to help you learn the mechanics of such a process.
Gerdean calls it an art form. Others may call it preaching. Some might call it
nonsense. And I'm certain there are many other definitions, including Church,
that could be used, but the fact is we have been enjoying our get-togethers; we
have benefited from the upliftment that comes from association with like-minded
fellows and as I understand it, you have all enjoyed the camaraderie,
socialization and food that goes along with being members of the human race and
being participants in this mission. What else? Anything else?</P><B>
<P>Pat:</B> I'd like to ask you a question. I don't know if it's appropriate,
but I've got a certain ailment that afflicts my body and -- actually I'm taking
pain medication, Percoset -- which is a very strong op-oid to eliminate the pain
but my question is -- and if you can't answer it, maybe you have resources, but
I've been to at least seven specialists in diagnosis of this ailment and
do
you have any input or advice on how that ailment might be resolved or a
direction or path of having a physical body that is without pain?</P><B>
<P>MERIUM:</B> I have no knowledge, but I can invite Doc, or Dr. Mendoza if he
is not pre-engaged, to see if either of them are available and can shed some
light if that would be amenable. </P><B>
<P>Pat:</B> Indeed it would. That would be wonderful.<BR><B>Reneau:</B> I have
back pain myself. I'm not on Percoset but I have -- besides my
knees.<BR><B>Esmeralda:</B> Don't mention it! I had forgotten about mine.</P><B>
<P>DOC:</B> I am here on a house call. This is Doc. I appreciate your calling.
Excuse my informality. I'm a real country doctor. I am not a sophisticated
specialist. I am actually a specialist in wellness of all orders, that is to say
mental wellness, spiritual wellness, psychic wellness, physical wellness, and so
I represent the fact that in many cases they are all tied in together - if not
all cases. You say you have a pain problem?</P><B>
<P>Pat:</B> Um-hum</P><B>
<P>Doc:</B> I am not a crystal-ball gazer. Can you tell me something about your
condition or do you want to have a private session?</P><B>
<P>Pat:</B> No. The pain originates in the hip. It feels like someone is
sticking an ice pick in the hip and it goes down to the groin, and I've been to
a lot of specialists, at least seven of them, that were directing me now towards
it may be arthritis. That's what they're saying now and I don't really have any
great confidence in what they are saying since I have been to so many
specialists, but that's what they are saying. It could be arthritis. It's in the
hip and groin.</P><B>
<P>DOC:</B> These are neurosurgeon types?<BR><B>Pat:</B> Neurosurgeon, pain
specialists
<BR><B>DOC:</B> What about chiropractic?<BR><B>Pat:</B> I've been to
chiropractor. I've been to physical therapy. I've been around.<BR><B>DOC:</B>
And they all say the same thing?</P><B>
<P>Pat:</B> No, they all kind of run you in a circle. It's called a circle of
doctors and they really don't know themselves the cause or they refer you to
someone else is what they do until you end up going back to your original family
practitioner. He says, "Yeah, you're caught in a circle," and I said, "I know
what I'm caught in," so my last endeavor has been with a doctor of arthritis and
nothing conclusive as of yet.</P><B>
<P>Men-O-Pah:</B> Does the pain go down your leg to your feet?
<STRONG><BR></STRONG><B>Pat:</B> Sometimes.<BR><B>Men-O-Pah:</B> You tried any
acupuncture?<BR><B>Pat:</B> No.<BR><B>Men-O-Pah:</B> No? </P><B>
<P>Pat:</B> They are saying that there is swelling in the hip.
<STRONG><BR></STRONG><B>Men-O-Pah:</B> Yeah. Sure enough.
<STRONG><BR></STRONG><B>Paula:</B> Men-O-Pah has tried it and it has helped
him.<BR><B>Men-O-Pah:</B> Yeah. <STRONG><BR></STRONG><B>Esmeralda:</B> Is that
same doctor?</P><B>
<P>Men-O-Pah:</B> Yeah. He's in Santa Fe and he's an M.D. but he has a specialty
in acupuncture. I've had macular degeneration in my eyes and he was able to turn
that around and improve my vision so that I can still function. Also, I have
sciatica. That's what I call that and it's so painful sometimes I can hardly
walk but he can help you with that. I don't think he can make it go away. At
least mine's not going away, but at least it's in a tolerable state, at least,
and it doesn't bother me all the time, just some of the time. I don't have to
take any medicine to keep the pain down. </P><B>
<P>Pat:</B> So what doctor do you advise?</P><B>
<P>Men-O-Pah:</B> I can direct you if you want to go. I'll give you his phone
number and I suspect he may be able to help you. Gotta drive to Santa Fe,
though.</P><B>
<P>DOC:</B> This is a situation that is a full-body malady brought on over many,
many years. Without going into the automobile whose car parts are wearing out, I
will refer to the fact that these parts are wearing out because the maintenance
on your vehicle has not been optimum. I will borrow on
what is that woman's
name? There are several mortal, holistic healers like
Louise Hay and others
who bring to your attention that feelings buried alive never die and so they
solidify, they crystallize in you and become spurs, irritations in your body,
years - years later, after the fact.</P>
<P>The acupressure indeed brings relief for it rather lifts this irritation away
from the nerve on which it is pressing. It cannot remove it, but it can alter
the meat packed around it such that there is relief and this enables your
consciousness to remember what it is like without the pain so that you are
encouraged to seek and find that remission that will be permanent, that will
evoke a permanent cure.</P>
<P>It may require what we require psychic surgery. Psychic surgery does not
involve knives or needles. It involves finding out where the irritation came
from. And in this I must say "Physician, heal thyself." It is a task that
ultimately falls upon you, which is in part why it is that these doctors cannot
agree on what is causing the problem, although there are some well-founded
speculations as to what the eventual result will be. But they do not delve into
the psyche or the emotions or the spirit, only into the medical, and thus they
miss it. That is my diagnosis. </P>
<P>Evidently they are sufficiently severe as to warrant some studied attention
on your part for you are wasting great amounts of energy fighting the pain that
could as well be applied to finding out the source of the pain and healing the
pain. Now, let me say something while I have your attention for there are some
who would read this transcript, listen to this advice and become very angry
because it implies that you caused it, you fix it. And it implies that people
have created their own pain, when sometimes it is a real medical issue.
Sometimes it is not your fault! And so I want to impress upon you that whatever
it is, it is not your fault but it is your responsibility to deal with it.</P>
<P>You have tried to get professionals to pay attention and they don't know what
to do. You are on your own, so you might as well take matters into your own
hands and place them on the altar of your faith and go in with a spirit guide to
find out what is causing that pain -- the pain underneath the pain, if you see
what I mean.</P>
<P>You want to be very careful about those pain pills. It is not to say that
they are to be discontinued, no, because it is not natural for mortals to live
in incessant pain, nor is it to be expected. And I am sure I am not insulting
your intelligence by making this remark for surely you have thought of this
yourself. This may add impetus to your need to get to the root of the problem.
If it were me (easy for me to say! I haven't ever been mortal so I cannot say
that with 100% certainty that {if I were you} because I have no idea what that
means. But I do know that the Life Carriers have created you according to a
pattern of perfection and your system knows the way back. If it is not too late,
that original state can be accessed, cultivated, and will serve throughout the
duration of your mortal sojourn. </P>
<P>Of course, there is that other aspect, too, that simply says you are getting
a little help in learning how to grow old gracefully. I am afraid in some
contexts I am not much more help than the physicians you have already visited,
but that is my diagnosis and my prescription. Go into Stillness, take a
celestial friend and associate with you and ponder the root of the pain. As they
say, "Embrace the pain!" and find out what it means and then turn it inside out
and allow it to be eradicated in divine Light. In the meanwhile,
acupressure/acupuncture may help you on your way toward wellness.</P>
<P>Have I given you anything you can use? </P><B>
<P>Pat:</B> One other question? And it has to do with "healer, heal thyself,"
going with a celestial friend to ponder the root of the pain, is that the
measure or discovery process in "healer, heal thyself"?</P><B>
<P>DOC:</B> Yes, since most -- most -- not all, most -- disorders and illnesses
are self-induced. Not through a desire to self-destruct but from innocence and
ignorance and accident. It is part of your duty to yourself to maintain your own
equipment. When you are without endurance, throw yourself upon the lap of God
for comfort and relief. Allow divine pressure to take away the pain of your
human condition. And soar aloft, above the material plain, in prayer and
worship, for this will surely bring relief. </P>
<P>But you will persist, I am certain, in the task of mastering your self and
your vehicle such that it will continue to serve you well in your many
productive and congenial years that lie ahead. There are diversions and
distractions that can be employed as you work your way through those operations
that will bring about surcease, even healing. </P>
<P>Reneau, do you find merit to these in terms of your knee?</P><B>
<P>Reneau:</B> I think I will try some acupuncture. He's already told me I
already have arthritis in my knee so I understand that. I just try to stay
healthy and I just kind of put up with it, but it does limit me, as far as
walking any distance or
I used to love to just go hiking but it's like "forget
that! Forget skiing!" Forget anything like that but, I don't know. It's just one
of things, I guess, that I just put up with. The back pain is a little hard to
put up with. That's a little different. </P><B>
<P>DOC:</B> In your back pain, keep your spine straight. Sit up tall. The entire
physiology of humans is impacted by how you carry yourself. It is so easy for
you to slide down into your human condition and stay there. (Um-hum) The animal
nature loves comfort and it has a tremendous pull on the mind and body and
spirit and it is encouraged by your culture, which is eager to nestle into an
easy chair with comfort foods and pleasures -- not that there is anything wrong
with pleasures but they too need to be managed, just as do pain medications.
</P>
<P>You cannot seek for constant pleasure; there must be some endurance in
existence. It is not just one party after the other, even as it need not be one
long sustained pain. You will be done with this body at some point. You want to
remember to not cripple your spirit, emotions, or thinking because of the
decline of the physical condition. Admit it: you aren't kids anymore. It is sad
to see the autumn leaves fall from the tree, but in faith you are assured that
in the spring new shoots will come forth when the sap of life has thawed and the
source of life begins to move you in time and space to become the foliage of
springtime. </P><B>
<P>Elena:</B> But Doc, it can be a kind of a crisis situation. I'm not talking
about physical pain but the first time you have these little changes, it's a
crisis mode! It's not something that -- the physical pain, I really am sorry. I
mean, I'm glad you talked about the necessity, I guess, that we are not spring
chickens anymore. And I'm not talking about pat's stuff. I'm just talking about
aging in general and the first time you realize that, that's a blow! That's a
shock.</P><B>
<P>DOC:</B> As I understand it, it's a continual shock. (Group chuckles) But
it's one you get over. You have no choice.</P><B>
<P>Janet:</B> I think we'll live through it.<BR><B>DOC:</B> I think you're
right.<BR><B>Elena:</B> Janet, that's really good!</P><B>
<P>Janet:</B> The thing is, the human body is a strange piece of work. My former
husband died of cancer of the lung and of course the first thing the doctors say
is, "Are you a heavy smoker?" and he hadn't smoked in 30 years. But that's what
took him. And nobody knows why it happened, but it did. And he was a fine man,
and a strong and healthy man until that happened. And it's something so
difficult to understand.</P><B>
<P>DOC:</B> Understand it this way: No one gets out of here alive.
(Laughter)</P>
<P>I am going to sign off for the day, not even giving you back to Merium for
her hugs and kisses, for we are out of time. At least we are out of time on the
tape and you might want to check on dinner. Before you go, let us stand and hold
hands in a group configuration and someone can conclude our session in prayer.
Thank you. (Thank you!)</P><B>
<P>Men-O-Pah:</B> <I>Our Father, we thank you for this beautiful day and for
this time together. Bless us we pray and open our eyes and our ears that we may
see and hear those things that you would have us to see and hear. Bless this
time that we spend together. And we ask it in your name, Lord. Amen.</P></I>
