This report on the Heart of the Message gathering October 10-13
hosted by the Cincinnati Urantians is being sent as promised to the EDEN
Project List, and as requested by several other inquiries. ~ In summing up
observations of the conference and retreat, the following quotes from Page
27 in the Urantia Book explain the diverse reactions and responses...
"... The God of universal love unfailingly manifests himself to
every one of his creatures up to the fullness of THAT creature's capacity to
spiritually grasp the qualities of divine truth, beauty, and goodness.
To every spirit being and to every mortal creature in every sphere
and on every world of the universe of universes, the Universal Father
reveals all of his gracious and divine self that can be discerned or
comprehended by such spirit beings and by such mortal creatures. God is no
respecter of persons, either spiritual or material. The divine presence
which any child of the universe enjoys at any given moment is limited only
by the capacity of such a creature to receive and discern the spirit
actualities of the supermaterial world.
As a reality in human spiritual experience God is NOT a mystery. But
when an attempt is made to make plain the realities of the spirit world to
the physical minds of the material order, mystery appears: mysteries so
subtle and so profound that only the faith-grasp of the God-knowing mortal
can achieve the philosophic miracle of the recognition of the Infinite by
the finite, the discernment of the eternal God by the evolving mortals of
the material worlds of time and space."
At the Grailville conference and retreat, each person received what that
person was willing to receive... Those who choose to expand their capacity,
stepped into a glorious stream flowing with much wealth.
Persons soundly connected to the will of the Father and in sincere service
to Christ, received a huge amount of advanced information along with many
other blessings that accompany fully integrated light and life. ~ I've
already received several phone calls and e-mail thanks for the Whole-Life
Spiritualizing presentation and the update packet on Eden projects. ~
Several say they now have a much clearer understanding of how their talents
and projects fit into solutions being collected into Eden's Agape Educare
Portfolio. ~ It is beginning to dawn... what I've said time and time again,
this is NOT my project... this is a planetary project... this is a project
providing those aware of the Urantia Papers with the opportunity to walk
their talk; to use their spirituality to create value-productive earthly
services and goods. EACH of us have something to put into the whole-life
portfolio... The miracles in information collection occur by SEEING and
learning about organization in our orderly universe, and receiving from the
generosity that flows from the plentiful raw resources and supplies within
the universes.
The sudden quantum leaps I speak of ALSO teach us about quantum
INTER-CONNECTEDNESS. Although we often can NOT see it, what is at work is a
system creating conditions that lead to the sudden jumps. EVERY choice EACH
of us make either helps OR hinders the movement of progress. The speed of
progress accelerates, the MORE each of us discipline the self to be aware of
the WHOLE, to look for patterns of progress, to focus on qualities, to
observe direction, to feel the flow, to attune to the rhythm, to see the
shapes, and to resist the skeptic training to analyze to death each part.
On the drive home there were many cautions to stay connected to the
free-will choice-making reality that while there is excitement and renewed
hope for planetary excellence, there is still a huge gap in understanding
the whole-life width and depth in the growing network. There is still great
resistance to DOING the physical work required to manifest the glorious
blessings of divine truth, beauty and goodness. There are still very strong
influences from mystical-magic paradigms and poverty-disease preferences.
Lessons abound that consistently reveal the rule of the Creator Sons in the
local universe is one of creation and spiritualization. In our universe,
Christ Michael is devoted to effective execution of the Paradise plan of
progressive mortal ascension, which includes rehabilitation of rebels and
wrong thinkers. The amazing plan for perfecting evolutionary mortals does
seem to be one of the chief concerns of the seven superuniverses and their
many subdivisions. Unfortunately, it is exceedingly difficult for the
meagerly spiritualized material mind to experience marked consciousness of
spirit activities. The MAIN benefit of retreats such as this one at
Grailville, (and is why whole-life reflectivity places and Marts of
Excellence are connected to the Temples of Light and Life) is to assist
individuals in bringing forth ever-greater degrees of conscious awareness of
the perfecting power that emerges as the soul of joint brain-mind and
Adjuster creation becomes increasingly existent. As this physical-spiritual
connection forms there also evolves a new in-formation phase of soul
consciousness which is capable of experiencing the presence, and of
recognizing the spirit leadings and other supermaterial activities of the
Mystery Monitors. When the Adjuster becomes the Controller, then thoughts
eagerly manifest choices of Excellence and the VISION of Eden (paradise
excellence) guide actions that create conditions of Paradise on each realm
of life-expression. The divine will is being observed to shine brighter and
brighter in the spiritualizing acts of creatures of time who have begun to
taste the divine delights of experiencing the relationship of our
personality with the personality of the Universal Father.
Having lived the typical life of a mortal of our planet, Christ's plan for
mortal ascension and perfection attainment is reality-based and very easy to
accomplish WHEN the whole river of information is accessed and applied. The
brighter the shining of the spiritualized personality, the greater the
shadow cast by the intervening mind upon its material investment. Wealth in
all its glorious forms flow forth in the rivers of spiritualized thoughts
and actions. That which cannot be sometime spiritualized, will eventually be
disorganized. That which cannot be sometime co-ordinated with cosmic
reality, will eventually be destroyed. When the provisions of endless mercy
and nameless patience have been exhausted in an effort to win the loyalty
and devotion of the will creatures of the realms, justice and righteousness
will prevail. That which mercy cannot rehabilitate, justice will eventually
annihilate.
The gathering at Grailville didn't disappoint those wanting pity-parties and
those desiring doomsday. They connected with their networks and got their
ears tickled and egos stroked. But some were disappointed by growing
impatience with disrupting the flow of value-productive information.
Maturity is bringing with it the wisdom on NOT being an irresponsibility
enabler.
As for me I receive a strong validation that I'm gaining skills to NOT argue
with anyone about what is REAL. It was such a joy to simply see the
structures that might facilitate relationships useful to Christ in his plan
of progress. I was blessed with reminders to not waste time positioning
things on polarities, nor create fixed time lines or elaborate plans. The
universe simply will NOT cooperate with desires for determinism.
Improvisation is a great tool... All we can do as leaders is select the
melody, establish the key, set the tempo, and invite the players. Music and
its magic is created by the voluntary synergism of unified wholeness, a
relationship holism, a team singing the same song inspired by seeing the
same vision.
While some are still experiencing the fatigue and ill health from acting
autonomously from one another, the threads of healing, harmony and
interconnectedness are everywhere. Offering the threads and equipment to
weave a personal tapestry is the main reason for the portfolio.
While on the subject of the tapestry of life... the increase in Jim's energy
since adding the liquid oxygen and Tahitian Noni to his health-care
portfolio is amazing. The outside garden tasks he got done while I was gone
was a real surprise. The family is in awe at how much he is now able to do.
Also, my brother Paul reports that the healing of Jeremy's brain is
astounding the doctors... said he is at least 6 months ahead of normal
healing time.
In conclusion...
Some have discovered they're living on acres of diamonds and are lovingly
working to collect, form, and polish each nugget into glorious gemstones.
Some are still ignoring their wealth-generating fields, wondering in a
wilderness enduring the hardships of poverty, while glorious treasures await
them at home. With sadness, we realize that not all will come home to enjoy
the fruits growing on their Father's mansion... As my brother's precious
daughter, Eve said in her last poem before leaving this planet... AND SO
GOES LIFE.
