SE Idaho TeaM

October 24, 2004



Virginia: This is Virginia.



/God we would ask that You would be with us tonight in our reach to know
you better. Help us as we listen to the teachers that we might be able
to apply those things that will make us true emissaries of Your true
love to the world. In Jesus? name, Amen./



DANIEL (Bob S.): This is Daniel, greetings my students, my friends, my
colleagues, traveling together down our individual roads during this
time of correction.



The lesson we have prepared for this evening?s class, we trust will add
information to your queries about some of the happenings outside your
Urantia Study groups and their related Teaching Mission groups.



We are somewhat limited to the amount of detail, which we are allowed or
permitted to convey. But we know of your curiosity and hope these words
will provide something to fill the gaps in your thinking and knowledge
levels. So with that introduction I now turn the microphone over to the
major presenter this evening. One moment please.



MINEARSIA (Nancy K): Greetings my beloved friends and associates, I am
Minearsia, instructor in residence to you, the SE Idaho Teaching Mission
Base.



As always it is my pleasure to be among you in this familiar manner,
sitting in a circle listening, striving to find truth and those gems of
understanding that assist you in your ascension through the difficult
struggles of mortal existence and in anticipation of the Morontial phase.



Tonight?s talk, for that is what it is, is focused once again on the
essential elements of the Correcting Time, to help you feel confident
that the welfare of this planet, Urantia, and its many diverse peoples,
is truly in the loving and safe hands of our Creator, and that it?s and
your future are bright. As you have been instructed from the beginning
of these communications, the Correcting Time is here and is exactly
that?the time for the correction and redirection of human happenings.
It is time for the healing of the fundamental institutions of Urantia,
beginning with the family and emanating from it and through it to the
other institutions, education, government, religion, and economics, as
well as other related but more minor institutions.



In order to heal the family, the most basic institution, the fundamental
core, it is necessary for healing in the lives of the individuals to
take place. And we have had a curriculum focused on individual progress
from the beginning. This is the initial phase of the Correction Time
that you experience through these meetings, through the great revelation
of the words embodied in the text of the Urantia papers.



There is much more afoot. There are grand plans. There is the great
design. There is an enthusiastic reclamation occurring at many levels,
encompassing much broader geographic dimensions than Urantia, certainly,
but even much broader and grander than the extent of the original
quarantined area of rebellion.



I wish to remind you of [the role of] time in this relating of the
broader plan. You experience time as mortals, events are compared to
the living of your lives, and you deeply yearn for time to pass rapidly,
for events to occur in rapid succession, as if the magic wand had indeed
been raised and spread [waved].



As you are aware through your reading of the Urantia Papers, God?s plan
does not unfold in quite that rapid of a manner because of the role of
free will. It is not that it could not if God were to suddenly reverse
the most fundamental law He has given, the greatest love He has shown,
the most meaningful gift provided. But free will does not allow for
immediate response. It is the desire of the mortal, yes, to see results
to boost faith, to instill hope and so forth. But I would remind you of
those mortals who were privy to, had the privilege of, experiencing
Jesus? miracles in that they were not changed spiritually.



The Correcting Time will correct completely, permanently, eternally, the
errors and distortions, the evil of the rebellion. But it will not
happen overnight. Now, having given that lengthy preamble, that urge to
caution, I will attempt to instill you with hope, with purpose, with
knowledge of truth and assist you in strengthening your faith.



Remember that all things, ALL THINGS, are possible with the First Source
and Center, even the waving of the magic wand. And enormous spiritual
pressure is being applied at this point in time. The circuitry is
re-established; the communication is open; the help is at hand; the time
is now. Michael has a grand plan, and time also is undergoing
alterations in tempo to assist in the awakening of the grand questions
in the minds of humankind. Worldwide events are occurring in rapid
sequence?in part as a result of the alteration of time to assist from
the physical side the pressures that are being applied from the spiritual.



It is not comfortable to be human, particularly at this point in time,
because of the pressures applied. The need to declare one?s self many
times a day, to reassert one?s faith, to choose the high road, to look
for the opportunity to serve, to look for the opportunity to improve
communication, to clarify meaning, to more consistently connect actions
to intent?these are daily challenges for you all, not just those of you
with the great privilege and support of the knowledge of the times in
which you live, but also, for your brothers and sisters who have not
this knowledge but yet feel the pressures, feel the urgency. This is a
trumpet call to all to listen to the quiet within, to connect with love,
to ask fear to step aside, to face ea! ch day with courage in the
knowledge that strength is yours for the asking.



My dear, dear beloved friends, do not doubt that the small decisions you
make each day are vitally significant, because they are. What may
appear to you from the world?s perspective to be small and insignificant
is not so, for you are not separate from the whole. I will use an
analogy that PamElla is familiar with from _The Course in Miracles_.
You are not drops in the ocean separate from the ocean. As drops of the
ocean, you are a part of the whole, and therefore the small decisions
you make are vitally significant. Your decision to face the day with
love, with joy, with gratitude, with expectancy! is roaringly
important. These decisions affect not only those you may come in
contact with, they give courage, they give strength, they give hope to
your brothers and sisters on the other side of this globe, whom you may
never experience in person, but whom you assist with perhaps much more
difficult circumstances, through the choices that you make.



For now, focus on the here and now. Trust that great events are being
planned and being implemented according to the time allowed by the most
important gift given, by free will. But the end is certain. The oceans
will be clear, the rivers will run startlingly brilliant. The air will
be delicious to smell, and peace and goodwill will reign on earth. This
is a promise. It will be fulfilled.



I am finished and willing to respond to comments or questions.



Virginia: Minearsia, I thank you very much for what you said, but, wow,
for you to say that the tempo of time has been accelerated is something
that many of us have felt for months, or maybe even since the turn of
2000, I don?t know. I was sitting here wondering?and that people say,
?I can?t believe it is October, it was just June?. Do you actually mean
that time has been accelerated? Did I understand you correctly?



Minearsia: Yes. This is part of the pressure.



Virginia: Wow, then that means that the solar system is moving faster.
Oh wow. I?ve actually said that somebody sped up things and we are
moving around the earth faster, but I really thought I was joking, so I
don?t know.



LaReen: Thank you Minearsia. I am very grateful for your lesson
tonight, for your words, for your encouragement, for your service to
Father and Mother. I thought I was going crazy Thursday, Friday and
Saturday. It seemed like the whole world had gone crazy between
traffic, people, family. Everywhere I turned, it seemed negative, and,
then, of course, you could turn on the TV or radio, the politicians, the
mud slinging and the prisoners, just everything, just everything. Then
I would wake up the next day, and it just started over again, and so I
grabbed the Se! cond Miler?s Club papers out thinking, okay, I have got
to study harder. It is just me. It is not anyone around. And so I am
very, very grateful for this lesson tonight. Thank you.



Minearsia: My pleasure is overflowing.



Bob S: Minearsia, do you care to comment on our discussion of apparent
biological up-stepping?



Minearsia: No, my friend, I do not. But even if I did, PamElla would
resist.



Virginia: Minearsia, on an issue that has bothered me for a couple of
weeks now. I have always believed that by their fruits, you shall know
them. And there was a distinction made in the paper that I have been
listening to that there is a difference between social fruit and
spiritual fruit. Would you please comment on this?



Minearsia: Yes, please give me a moment. Spiritual fruit is oftentimes
experienced even more than it is observed. Spiritual fruit can lead to
calm, to the deep faith that sustains one beyond the temporal ups and
downs that are a natural part of living, that keeps one?s candle of hope
burning bright. While social fruit can be learned, it may provide the
same appearance to the observer, the inner life of the one with social
fruit and the one with spiritual fruit can be quite different. Does
this help, or would you like to expand and define your question somewhat
more?



Virginia: No, I think that it does help. It doesn?t erase the fact
that by their fruits you shall know them, but it does suggest that there
might be a difference of motive and that spiritual fruit perhaps has
more value to the person who is producing that fruit.



Minearsia: Yes, absolutely. You understand it well.



Virginia: Thank you.



Minearsia: You are welcome, my sister.



Virginia: Thank you. I need that.



Minearsia: You are welcome my dear friend.



Any other questions or comments tonight? Please stand and hold hands.
Daniel wishes to lead you in prayer. I bid you farewell with great love
and admiration.



Daniel (Bob S.): /Friends, let us pray together. To our great and
glorious Parents who each day we understand more, we offer this prayer
in gratitude that You have created each of us in Your own image, yet
with individual personality which leads each of us on a different path
to You. While we do not completely understand Your universe and our
place in it, it is clear that we should approach the tasks before us in
our lives with the optimism, the hope, the faith, the love that You
display to our Master Son Jesus Chri! st Michael. In gratitude, we
humbly thank You for this opportunity to grow, to learn, to become that
person You have created each of us to be and the opportunity to help our
brothers and sisters as we all struggle to find Your will in our lives.
Send us to our homes now with the confidence and faith that each of us
will take the necessary steps to use the time we have wisely and well.
In the name of Jesus the Christ, our Master and Mentor. Amen./
