ABRAHAM & EMULAN –MANKIND’S
EVOLUTION
JANUARY 5, 2003
WOODS CROSS GROUP
I am ABRAHAM. Greetings. I have
enjoyed your conversation this evening. It has been quite
thought provoking. I appreciate your willingness to be honest
and loving. For the most part I perceive you as lovers of truth.
While harsh realities may blind you for a time, your love for
Father and truth always brings you to a place of reconciliation.
I am EMULAN. I am also with joy to
visit this branch of my family tree. I have been assigned to
teach this evening’s lesson, for my experience has trained me
well. I have always been fascinated by the total mortal makeup.
From the beginning days on a planet, continuing on through
evolution to the present stage, I have always found this divine
plan to be without defect.
You can envision for yourselves how
mans perception has changed throughout history. This perception
affects everything, including the physical body. Everything in
nature has pattern, plan and purpose. When you view a pack of
wild animals you can see there are some animals that are the
leaders, some are the nurturers, some are the hunters. Overall
the pack works for the health and well-being of the whole.
With time you can see that wild
life has not changed or evolved like humans have. Their changes
perhaps come from mans intrusion. Animals have not the capacity
to know God. They merely live on instincts. They know not good
or evil. Their selfishness is more perhaps self-preservation.
While all animals are truly cherished by our Father, wild life
is not equipped to connect with divine circuitry.
Mankind’s evolution has indeed been
his friend and foe. Mans ability to comprehend good and evil has
taken him through an amazing transformative evolutionary
experience. As a mortal I did do better as a child of God when I
had begun to understand my mortal self. I was indeed part
instinctive animal, part divine child of God, part material and
part energy. How I perceived life is what enabled me to progress
or delay progression.
No Urantian scientist has full
knowledge of the human brain and all its functions. There are
many individuals who believe they know all there is to know
about the mind and its inner workings. Father is truly brilliant
with His divine plan and how everything has pattern, plan and
purpose. You are each gifted with mind and over time your mind
has been shaped by various experiences.
There are certainly reasons why you
are the way you are. How you have perceived life up to this
point has shaped you into the person you are today. With the
rebuilding of the circuits your minds have a greater capacity to
absorb, understand and organize. You are better equipped to
receive morontial lessons. You are indeed able to have those
gifts you would have had there not been rebellion.
This week make effort to quiet the
mind. Take note of those occurrences that seem out of the
ordinary, for example foresight or feeling spirit-led, feeling
capable of handling situations. Know that your minds are
connected to a cosmic mind. Think about who you are and how
everything works together. Ponder the possibility of change.
Things are always changing. Truth ever remains the same, but
most everything is in a state of evolution.
I am ABRAHAM. Our gratitude to our
brother Emulan. Your expertise will be to our benefit. Children,
there are endless possibilities here on your world, not to be
exploited or used for self-aggrandizement, but tangible
possibilities that are leading you into an era of Light and
Life--definitely a moment we are all looking forward to.
Think about how Father knows each
one of you and how there is little you can do comprehend or
grasp the fullness of His love for you. Ponder your perception
of your God and His involvement in your life. Know that those
who watch over you are without number and not to worry, but be
comforted by the unceasing truth that you are a child of God and
loved beyond measure. Go in peace. Until next week, shalom.
