style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I hate to disappoint Merium but I am not
prepared to hold forth on her suggested material. I would like to discuss with
you something else. [Take a deep breath, Gerdean; we’ll wait for you to catch
up.]<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>I wanted to talk a little bit
about the mind, and the sundry parts of the mind, in terms of what you
experience when you attend such gatherings as these.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is so little understood by the world
at large: by your peers in the world, and your associates in kingdom-building.
Yet lightworkers far and wide have been tapping into another dimension and
feeling the effects of higher vibrations, because, in part, of the revelation
but also because of the times in which you live.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>It is a time of reawakening, and
so new perspectives will be applied. It is necessary, in order to encompass as
great an expanse of time and space as your consciousness can allow.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You can see further back into history
now; you can see further into the future now, and so the very dimensions of your
perceptions are changed now from when. … 50 years ago?</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>The mind is – and we have
discussed this, the mind, many times – the mind is an incredible gift bestowed
upon the mortal races of time, to enable them to adapt, advance, function and
progress, egging evolution on, eventually and ultimately to god-consciousness
itself.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And so the mind, although
as yet imperfect and incomplete, nonetheless serves.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>The subconscious, the conscious,
the superconscious all participate in the consciousness of consciousness, that
super-consciousness which is your place in the universe, your contribution to
the divine, your point of reference, your niche, your right to be here, your
inheritance as a child of God. What a triumph to become a child of God, in this
period of time through which you have evolved, from the time of life
implantation, through the ages and ages of development: physical, chemical,
mindal, even spiritual. And so we meet at this place, <B
style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">this
morontia-ville</I></B>, to begin to assimilate and accept the truth that as you
evolve into a fifth epochal dimension, it is not only possible for you to have
developed some morontia reality but <I
style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">anticipated</I>, and after the many
set-backs this particular world has had, we are particularly rejoicing in the
steps that have been made over the past few decades.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>So I would like to mention today
that when your mind opens on certain concepts that enable you to feel enlarged
as a conscious creature, guard against the fears and insecurities that will come
to pass – either from within your own fear-based existence, or from that of
others’ who fear your willingness to take risks of a faith nature - beware of
that tendency to pull you back into conformity. Refuse to let fear paralyze you
from doing what Spirit would lead you to do. Being lifted up and led by the
living God is not a mere metaphor; it is the basis of existence of all that is.
Trust it. Depend on it. </P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>The mind that you were given to
help you here on Urantia in this life, will not survive. Even now it is falling
away in pieces.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><B

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><B
style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal">TOMAS:</B><SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Those pieces which served you earlier
but have no reason now to remain.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>They are relics of a long time ago past which no longer concern the needs
of the day. Picture <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Pie Town, and
any early community with the anvil and washtubs and fences. See those windmills,
barns, become as postcards of another time; they fade from view, become
nostalgia. They take with them, when you leave them, memories … details of
relationships and environments that, while of value in the process of
experiencing the life, need not remain when life’s lesson has been learned.
There are new lessons ahead and in existence.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And so your mind will simply stop
lugging a lot of stuff around. It will retire portions of itself until
eventually you will be living on the cosmic mind, the divine mind, the morontia
reality that you are becoming. </P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Don’t think you are there yet! So
I don’t want to see anybody strutting around telling folks they have lost their
mind completely and have become infused with cosmic insanity; it confuses the
issue and draws negative attention to these otherwise profound and evidentiary
expressions of personality that constitute your being as a cosmic citizen.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Your only fight is the good fight
of faith, the fight against fear. Don’t allow fear and your own belittling or
the nit-picking of others get to you.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Don’t sweat the small stuff. Rise up. No excuses. Live. Live as if God
was in your presence all the time, every minute, even now, as He is, He does,
and He will, every day, as is his contract with you -- to secure eternal life
for the both of you as one.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We’ve
already begun…. We begin again …. We will persevere …. And at each step of the
way, we are encircuited by and witnessing ….</P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>That will suffice for me this
afternoon. I know that you fluffed up the pillows, Elena, but I seem to have
gotten them all bunched up again.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

rather adeptly tied it into his words. I really have nothing exciting to add. I

finances—seeking financial counsel of some sort. Would you like to add to
that?</P>

that.”<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And I’m speaking for him
now.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I know that he is very intent
on being successful at helping others through this clinical massage, but he also
has a need to be a bit more financially solvent than he currently is and I
didn’t know if that was a question to ask or not but I told him that I would
ask.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So, he was hoping to have
financial guidance, and speaking for him, that’s the best way I can say it.</P>

style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The fact that the purpose of the
teachers is to stimulate the soul’s growth, seems to point to the soul of the

that reflect the emotional part of that situation, it would be a crap shoot to
try to guess.</P>

style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Then if I might ask another question,
because you wanted to talk about consciousness. I feel that I have made a lot of
progress in getting much closer and communicating with my divine self, but I
would so very much like to be more conscious of that, and I don’t know --
stepped up the process --but on the other hand, it can happen today or tonight
as far as that goes, but if there is something I could do better. I’ve been
paying better attention – better than I had been, but your feedback on that
would be appreciated.</P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><B
style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal">MERIUM:</B><SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Consciousness is at least a big a topic
as personality. It could take the next two years to come to a thorough
understanding of character and consciousness, sociology and consciousness,
creativity and consciousness, but consciousness does indeed incorporate it all,
the full Monte, the whole nine yards: the subconscious, unconscious, conscious,
hyper conscious, super conscious, and Lord knows what other consciousnesses they
have not singled out to give a name to, to study. We perused a new book today
having to do with the difference between the male mind and the female mind, and
you do understand being students of the Urantia text, that the minds of men and
women are different, they operate on different circuitries and so they cannot
understand each other; they must transcend their differences in order to
function maximally. </P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>This really is the challenge in a
nutshell as far as minds are concerned. You have around you those who are
functioning on the most base animal level, enjoying the guttural grunts of the
beast. You have those who have been brought to their knees and have risen to the
challenge. You have the used and the users, the abused and the abusers, the
givers and the takers, the secular, the sacred, and the profane all and many
more types and kinds of consciousness and personalities at different levels of
consciousness, of awareness, of themselves, of others and of the relationships
that exist or do not exist among and between them.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>With such an array of
incompleteness and imperfection, it is almost impossible to find those minds
which are sufficiently compatible to be able to transcend their obvious
differences in an appreciation of those things they have in common which provide
a healthy sense of fraternity. There are of course those who hang together
because they each provide an excuse for the other and their behaviors. But you
also have those who bring out the best in each other. The discernment of these
many types of personalities, with their associated consciousness is something
your psyche is busy with all the time. The first adjutant mind spirit is
automatically assessing circumstances so as to assure your survival. The other
mind spirits are constantly functioning to lure you into those experiences which
will call forth that n you which will benefit from the experience and apply it
to your experiential wisdom. So a natural part of your life is making mistakes
and learning from them. </P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>You must make the choice and then
destiny will attempt to accommodate your choice but if it goes against the grain
of deity consciousness, it will fade away; it will become tied up in itself such
that it cannot move, cannot advance, inviting stalemate.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>But at any point you can withdraw your
consciousness and make another choice, a choice that gives you the spiritual
liberty to follow the wiser course being revealed to you, so that you need not
destroy yourself in the process of creating yourself.<SPAN
