mso-bidi-font-family:Helvetica">Unknown: [Mark] Good morning my friends, it is
my pleasure once again to inject myself into your conversation as it were. This
morning I particularly enjoyed the idea of the jigsaw puzzle and how you
managed to thread the pieces and assemble a few, and these pieces become your
beginning island if you will, from where you start. As you work through the
pieces contained in the gigantic jigsaw puzzle you at one time focused on
pieces of a certain color or pieces of a certain shape that you may put
together and assimilate into the greater picture. But as time goes on, your
interests and focus change because what you are looking for [also] changes. The
color you need next changes, the shape you need next [changes] also. </span><span style="font-family:Helvetica;mso-bidi-font-family:Helvetica"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;
text-autospace:none">And so as you go through this gigantic assembly
process, having settled yourself and determined that all pieces belong, it then
behooves you in the process to narrow your focus and group together those items
you can determine belong together. This is what assumptions are. This is what
brings you to the level of assumption. You recognize that all pieces that have
one straight edge are perimeter pieces; you make this assumption that they all
belong together, that they fit somehow. You may not be able to see the great
variation in color and texture sitting together but you recognize that all the
pieces that are perimeter pieces must somehow work together. This assumption
makes you prevail in the intention of seeing how and where these pieces apply
in your project. </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;
text-autospace:none"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size:18.0pt;font-family:Helvetica;
mso-bidi-font-family:Helvetica">You are taking on faith this great assumption
that all pieces with a straight edge belong on the perimeter somewhere, but you
are proven to be correct, your assumption has been borne out in experience.
This then serves to reinforce your assumption for next time when you tackle a
similar project. You will immediately begin to operate on the principles that
have been established in your assumption. So, there is a very positive and
helpful dimension to having made a determination and an assumption and sticking
to it because many times this will prove to be the correct course. The danger
may lie in an assumption running so deep that anything which contradicts this
assumption, is in the realm of to never be considered. </span> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;
text-autospace:none"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size:18.0pt;font-family:Helvetica;
mso-bidi-font-family:Helvetica">Now what if, as part of this unique jigsaw
puzzle that you are working on, it is not designed in the exact same way as all
the other jigsaw puzzles you've ever had experience with? What if this jigsaw
puzzle that you are working on has straight lines that intersect throughout the
fabric of this puzzle? And so instantly you are confronted with the challenge
to accept that not all straight pieces or pieces with a straight edge must
conform to being on the outside perimeter. Now, you may never have encountered
such a jigsaw puzzle as I describe but, that does not infer whether it exists
or not, merely that you may never have encountered it. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;
text-autospace:none"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size:18.0pt;font-family:Helvetica;
mso-bidi-font-family:Helvetica">So for now, it is normal that one operates on
certain basic premises and the true seeker will be greatly served by their
willingness to stand on these premises, but to be discerning enough to look for
amendments if you will, to these premises; cases in point where the theory is
proved faulty to the degree that exceptions are found and included. This does
not make the theory warrantless; the theory stands until a greater theory
replaces it. Your assumptions may stand until your observations provide you
with greater experience from which your assumptions may grow to accommodate.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;
text-autospace:none"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size:18.0pt;font-family:Helvetica;
mso-bidi-font-family:Helvetica">On the one hand, your assumptions serve you
well and on the other hand, the hand which calls for great spiritual expansion
and growth, it may serve as an unnecessary boundary or condition on your experience
which will need examination. Truly it was wisely said that the best posture to
enter into the kingdom of heaven is that of the attitude of a child, open to
formulating his opinion, open to establishing his conditions, willing to adapt
his understanding to accommodate all that he encounters. The willingness to see
it through fresh eyes is what keeps the spiritual seeker young. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;
text-autospace:none"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size:18.0pt;font-family:Helvetica;
mso-bidi-font-family:Helvetica">So build well your experiences and have your
assumptions. Recognize them as such and be ever willing to stand atop them and
search for amendments to your assumptions, an increased capacity to your
assumptions. Just as it is with your spiritual awareness in general, what you
pray for most effectively is an increased capacity, not more to bring in but
the capacity to bring more in. That's what you can provide to your assumptions
in life, to your expectations in life, is this willingness to consider them
with an open mind and not necessarily take for granted that it is the way it
appears, but allow that it may be much more than it appears.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;
text-autospace:none"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size:18.0pt;font-family:Helvetica;
mso-bidi-font-family:Helvetica">Thank you for providing the context and substance
for this discussion this morning. I appreciate the opportunity and will now
allow this forum for use by others, thank you.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;
text-autospace:none"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size:18.0pt;font-family:Helvetica;
mso-bidi-font-family:Helvetica">Unknown: [Henry] Greetings this morning, it is
good to be here to share in the discussion in some minor capacity to offer a
little of my assumptions to the discussion. It seems that as humans, you all,
as you are observing things, observe them differently. This is a natural way
that observation exists in the mind. No two people will see the exact same
thing and when two people begin to see the same thing in something, there is a
connection, there is a reference, there is an open line of communication. But
for the most part, no two people will see or observe things exactly the same.
Each will have noticed some particular minute detail that they were paying
attention to because when you are observing something it is always greater than
the act of observing that which you observe. Therefore it follows, you are
also formulating in your own mind what you did observe and how you did observe
it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>You begin to have assumptions
about what it is you have observed, how you may observe it, and what you may
choose to do about implementing these observations. </span> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;
text-autospace:none"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size:18.0pt;font-family:Helvetica;
mso-bidi-font-family:Helvetica">In this analogy of the jigsaw puzzle, which is
a really good analogy, there are many ways to look at this. For example, you
could look at it as [if] all of the pieces are blank, all of the pieces to the
spiritual puzzle are the same color, their shape is the only distinction and
the way that these pieces fit together are even more peculiar because these
pieces can change as you begin to come into contact with another piece. It will
instantly reveal a connection to you and all of these different pieces and all
of these different connections begin to create a context, a scaffold in which
to better understand the nature of life in which you are caught up living, this
spiritual life which you are grasping for.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;
text-autospace:none"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size:18.0pt;font-family:Helvetica;
mso-bidi-font-family:Helvetica">In a certain sense it is like there is no right
and there is no wrong, there is just what is. Your intention and decision and
motivation can help to change what is and yet you set about carving in stone as
humans, what is right and what is wrong, what is correct and what is incorrect,
when all the time you live in an imperfect universe where things are
correcting. They are in the process and in the actuality of becoming more
correct, more perfect, more harmonious and more synchronous. The true great
beauty in your lives is that you hail from a tremendously fractured planet
where the ideals have been smashed to smithereens, that you can actually start
from scratch and piece together in your assumptions, a context of greater
reality. You have to also assume that the reality in which you are living
may be your great reality in this moment until at some point this reality
changes for you because everything is always changing. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;
text-autospace:none"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size:18.0pt;font-family:Helvetica;
mso-bidi-font-family:Helvetica">The universes of time and space are designed to
forever change and they are forever changing in order that the possibility some
aspect of this created reality may shift, transform, and change to accommodate
a greater reflection of peace, beauty, goodness, and love. While it is true
that most human intellectual thought is based on assumption. Spiritual Paradise
principles are not based on assumptions. Love is real, goodness is real, truth
and beauty are real. True, you may have assumptions or beliefs about them but
in their actuality, they are absolute and even in this level of time and space
recognition, these absolute realities can be experienced.</span> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;
text-autospace:none"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size:18.0pt;font-family:Helvetica;
mso-bidi-font-family:Helvetica">It is true that for the most part you live in
your assumptions, that there are moments apart from these assumptions in which
you can experience an absolute reality, that you can gravitate towards assuming
that these absolute realities can be harnessed within your being and your psyche,
in your behavior, in your social structure, that they can be embedded and
implemented even here and now in this life that exists for you.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;
text-autospace:none"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size:18.0pt;font-family:Helvetica;
mso-bidi-font-family:Helvetica">You shouldn't think of assumptions as something
negative for assumptions hail from the shores of Paradise where in the presence
of the Universal Father and His abode, there ceases to exist assumption and you
begin to experience complete and absolute perfect reality, undistorted by any
evolutionary thought. So in this sense, it is always important to stay in the
flow of possibility and not so much into the rigidness of actuality for it
possible that at some point, the actuality that exists here will actually
represent and reflect a greater aspect of absolute resource of truth, beauty,
goodness, peace, justice, love and respect.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;

words, have a great week, thank you.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;

mso-bidi-font-family:Helvetica">Unknown: [Cathy] Many times our assumptions are
partially correct but lead us in a direction of error. In our daily life, we
operate on a view of the world that rests upon assumptions, which may not
support a larger and more active pursuit of a fruitful life on this world. It
is for this reason that a request is made for each assumption to be examined
from a point of values supported and the growth that is encouraged. Many
erroneous assumptions were injected into the world consciousness during the
rebellion and its aftermath. It was a corruption of the divine pattern that was
implemented by conscious decision of the rebellious one. As part of the
correcting time it will be necessary for assumptions to be examined and the
foundations of organizations to be evaluated. We are at a point where the
existing structure of world society is in deterioration and an opportunity
exists to take the sustainable values and assumptions and create a more solid
foundation for future development. You as individuals and as small groups will
provide a service if you actively engage with your assumptions.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;
text-autospace:none"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size:18.0pt;font-family:Helvetica;
mso-bidi-font-family:Helvetica">LIght: [Mark] LIght here with a small
contribution to add to this pool of understanding. You are probably all
familiar with the statement based in so much truth, that being: "Whether
you think you can or whether you think you can't, you're right." That
speaks to the power of intention and the power of conviction in the mind. I
would invite you to substitute the term assume: "Whether you assume you
can or whether you assume you can't, you are largely right." Your
assumption directs your intention and your intention is key in this
process. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;
text-autospace:none"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size:18.0pt;font-family:Helvetica;
mso-bidi-font-family:Helvetica">So be on guard that your assumption is largely responsible
for steering your intention so that you are not so strictly confined by your
assumption as to stifle any intention. I will suggest that you recall that your
assumptions are all formed on previous life experiences, your encounters with
realities you've had which go to form these assumptions. But, there is another
aspect to growth and that is, in order to grow in places where you have not
grown, you have to encounter and do and accept things that you have not
encountered before. It is required that new steps be taken and new actions be
taken in order for you to acquire to yourself the new awareness and
understandings. </span><span style="font-family:Helvetica;mso-bidi-font-family:
Helvetica"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;
text-autospace:none">So let your assumptions guide you to edge of
the voyage, let your assumptions prepare you for what you assume you will find
and what will be out there and use your assumptions of a positive journey ahead
of you to guide and steer you and then once you have embarked on your journey,
back off of your assumptions and allow the truth, the beauty, and the goodness
that is out there to present itself free of your assumptions for your new
interpretation and your new modification that you will bring to your
assumptions of life. This is how your assumptions may help you in getting you
ready and preparing you for the voyage, bolstering you with the faith and
courage to take the voyage and then proceed on your journey as a child proceeds
in his new learning environment in life, willing to embrace it all and bring it
all in and allow it to impress upon you its true value and worth. Such experiences
inevitably condition a new awareness and a new and greater set of assumptions
about reality and truth. </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;
