> The lesson we have prepared for this evening's class, we trust will add

> We are somewhat limited to the amount of detail, which we are allowed or

>
> 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.
