your very practical and down-to-earth lessons on what to do in trying times such
as we’ve been experiencing. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It
seems to boil down to how to make best use of our time, especially when certain
activities may be cut off--like we get laid off or fired from our familiar work,
or have to curtail our way of living for a while when we find ourselves in
debt.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You, Michael, compared this
to living in a kind of debt of bad, unhealthy habits.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Then suddenly something startles us
awake and makes us reappraise--revalue the way we’re living.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You remind us the voice of God is within
us and we can hear it if we are but still enough, and loving enough, and
trusting enough to be open to it. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Then we need the nerve to experiment with
our own lives, and be open to the results. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>In other words: there is always that
greater opening of ourselves to grow into, to use our time effectively.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>For this reassurance we do thank you.

you can’t. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Sometimes you literally

yourself on the line, get out there and try something--to see if it will
work.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>All we ask of you, my

more humble, down-to-earth kind of living might be much more
spiritually-soulfully satisfying.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>To be spending less of your time paying for mere status objects, whether
they be home or cars or clothing--whatever, means living less and less a merely
symbolical life, and a more purely direct one. <SPAN

seeking to avoid it, thinking that this is the ideal life. <SPAN

Guardian Angel--whose love for you is unfathomable--she is more interested in
your eternal potential and would rather you live a life of hard work, joyous

decisive.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN

sure to take the time, several times a day, just to stop, sit down for ten, or
fifteen, or twenty minutes, and let everything come to a stop so you can get a
feeling for, and begin to exercise, your beginner’s mind. <SPAN

indecision to cross--to get in motion--when you so acutely feel the effort--the

style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is the way out: to begin to enjoy
that--here we go again--stepping off--getting into motion. <SPAN

questions. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I’ve been involved with
a group of people, not related to reading the Urantia book too much yet, who
have had a lot of experience in doing psychic work--personal religious
experiences dealing with their past lives, and entities and beings in their
psychic awareness.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I mean they
experience these psychic phenomenons as living beings who have been very useful
to help with their personal growth.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Yet they’re also studying the Urantia book, and it is very specific about
what happens when a person dies.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>They go on; they may slumber awhile, but after a time they’ll awake,
resurrected on the Mansion Worlds with a whole universe out there to
explore.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>They don’t come back to
this planet. <SPAN

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"><FONT size=3>I don’t really want to challenge their
personal religious experience, yet I want to be able to have a way to talk about
it and explain, a way to bridge the differences. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And I’m not really sure what they’re
experiencing.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So I guess my
question is: what is it they are experiencing when they experience the memory of
their past lives, or the beings who are in their psychic state? <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I’d like to have a better understanding
of what that is, and then how to communicate with them about it when the
teachings in the Urantia book are so clear.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Yes, my daughter, Michael and I have
discussed this in some depth several times before--the complex phenomena and/or
interpretation you call reincarnation, or past lives, which a great part of the
human race does believe in. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You are
quite correct, the Urantia book does seem to go out of its way to refute these
beliefs.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>One example given was
Jesus’ answer about why a person was born blind, whether or not it was because
of something he had done in a previous lifetime, or something his parents had
done. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Jesus had to reply that from
the human standpoint there are truly accidents of time and space. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>From the standpoint of God or the Supreme
Being there are not, but when you depart from such absolute and infinite levels
where there is no such thing as chance, when you get down to the human level,
this is part of your humility--to acknowledge there are those unique happenings
which cannot be repeated nor fully comprehended/shared/explained. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>As we said before, from your perspective
much of what we call the Unqualified Absolute does appear to you as Chance or

you already have a personality possession of a quasi-spiritual cosmic fact, your
very own soul.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>As its co-author is
a fragment of God himself, this is you seen and experienced from His point of
view. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And so, by comparison to your
conscious, physical brain-wave memories, it is quite enormous.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This very enormity of your soul,
striving and becoming conscious to influence your conscious life, can be
registered as coming from previous lifetimes. <SPAN

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"><FONT size=3>These inner experiences of soul and
heredity are often interpreted by years and years of study in the deep
philosophies of ancient and modern religions, and form an inner body of
truth--some call it Karma--of which, if you examine it, every person has a
unique interpretation, just as every person has their own unique feelings and

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN

Our advice is just to be open and take it in, let your own spirit and soul
recognize their inner experience beneath their means of expression. <SPAN

is the challenge before the whole human race.<SPAN

often dogmatic or contentious form to the living spiritual experience lying
underneath it?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>When people tell you
about their previous lives, try to share some kindred experience there.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is their own soul and their own
higher consciousness of truth, for it’s exactly right where their own higher
consciousness fades away that their soul, and the import of their Father
Fragment, kind-of overlap--if you will: one leads right to the other. <SPAN

being the only kind of reincarnation, where these rather rudimentary but highly
intelligent kinds of animal personalities do enjoy a succession of Morontia
bodies and do accumulate something like a soul; and goes on to state this is the
only kind of reincarnation within our Local Universe of Nebadon.

that humility is a spiritual blessing.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Before the perfect inner unity we’ve spoken of, that you must slowly
earn, you will go back and forth between feeling blessed you can be aware of the
enormity of what you are facing, and then alternately see what a tiny little
speck you are, and how powerless and insignificant you seem to be in the face of
all of that out there--God’s time and His natural law--even simple physical law
that says there are only so many places for your daughter and her family to
find.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You are constantly finding
your balance between a limitless desire and potential, and a very gritty nitty,
moment to moment, being an inescapably physical person, in an equally
inescapable physical world, without unlimited power or knowledge or
understanding.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>But you are growing
these.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And as you grow these, then
chance, or the chafing element--if you will--of God’s impersonal and universal
laws, diminishes, because you become more and more in accord with these laws.

it’s a matter of just how conscious are they of their unrealized potential for

are--your own co-creativity, your own response-ability. <SPAN

consider, and do your own best to accept as an orientation, and then try.<SPAN
