[tmtranscripts] LinEL 2/16/00

[Thea Hardy]

Thanks, Bill,

I don't know what we would have done without LinEL's constant love and
support, ever refocusing us on receiving love and reminding us that patience
is of the essence, not the least with ourselves! I must tell you that I feel
privileged to TR for him. And I am personally working on accepting that
overflowing measure of love, still with difficulty, but with ever greater
understanding of my own personal impoverishment and how it MUST be given up
in trade for true abundance, for accepting my place in the kingdom.

Love,

Thea

>>-----------------------------------------------------
>>Dear ones, you know that there are many things about this mission that we

>>following what you term our prime directive.
>>
>>You know that a Magisterial Son will come. You know that this is a long-term
>>part of the mission. Naturally your human hearts yearn for such things. And
>>yet it is important to strike a balance in your yearnings. I sometimes try
>>to present this with humor, rather like "How to live your lives while
>>waiting for the Magisterial Son to arrive". I do not mean at all to jest
>>inappropriately, but to seriously remind you that however precious this
>>event is to us all, and it is, you must find a balance to your living in
>>response to such things. Yes, the Son will arrive. But that is not today,
>>and today, here and now, your adjuster is within, as close as your
>>breathing, and yearning for your energies to connect with him and approve
>>his agenda for your lives.
>>
>>I cannot tell you the best ways to balance these things. In the end, you are
>>the only ones who can make the decisions which form the shape of the
>>processes of your lives. It is not a question of either/or, nor can we
>>present to you some preconceived information telling you which aspects are
>>most important. It is a question of how to have ALL aspects and form them
>>into a harmonious whole. There is no need here for conflict and controversy,
>>no need for taking supposed sides. All of these parts form one path. It is
>>for you to personally decide the patterning of your own journey in
>>relationship to these aspects, and that will be unique to your own
>>personality choices.
>>
>>I say to you, take joy in the fact of the coming of the Magisterial Son. You
>>have need to hope for the future. You need to know that your beloved planet
>>will be assisted to its destiny. You need to have the assurance that all you
>>long for is not vain hopes. You have the right to know and understand the
>>nature of the help that is coming to you. You have the privilege of being
>>given knowledge that can assist you. We delight in offering these things, in
>>telling you of what is to come for you all here on this benighted world.
>>
>>At the same time, you cannot wait upon those times to live. You need to live
>>in the present moments of your lives, to have the here and now presence of
>>the kingdom that cannot and need not wait for the arrival of any being no
>>matter how precious. We have asked of you that you make of your daily lives
>>an enshrinement of your pursuit of truth, beauty and goodness; that you take
>>time to share with your adjuster what you seek and to receive from him the
>>utter assurance of your lovability and of his plans for your path forward.
>>This is of paramount import, no matter what lies ahead.
>>
>>For of the many things you do not fully understand, the difficulties
>>inherent in the ramifications of positive change is most certainly one. Any
>>culture given the abundance of something they have not had will most
>>certainly undergo great upheaval in the need to reshape the entire manner of
>>living and the values that underlie the changes in cultural imperatives. You
>>have seen what mayhem can result when some on your world win a lottery. It
>>is not easy to encompass supposedly positive sudden change. Lest you think
>>that only material rewards pose such problems, I suggest to you that you
>>consider again. When you have lived on a world of deprivation, you become
>>enculturated in the ways of that thinking. Narrowness and havelessness
>>become part of your identity. It does not happen overnight that the presence
>>of abundance is comfortable and well-accepted by you. Were it so, you would
>>be better at loving yourselves, always a test of your willingness to receive
>>the positive aspects of the universe.
>>
>>You so often think of the things we bring as salve to your wounds. And so
>>they are. But you do not perhaps as often think of the challenge, the
>>intense and powerful imperatives to change and the oftentimes disturbing
>>rearrangements that the things we bring you require. When our beloved
>>Sovereign Michael said that he had come to bring the sword, he did not mean
>>that he had come to bring war, but that the way of love was such a potent
>>change in a world not given to love, that it most certainly would not bring
>>peace and calm to the planet. So it is with us, bringing you his gospel yet
>>again. We bring eventual peace, but first, the way of change means much
>>upheaval.
>>
>>Internally, you can know peace now. But in the culture of the planet, amidst
>>the legacy of Lucifer, peace will not always come at you from those for whom
>>the very presence of your strong affirmations of love are an ultimate
>>challenge. If you expect to see an inauguration soon of tranquility among
>>your brothers and sisters out in the world, you will be disappointed. The
>>world is little different since our beloved Michael walked literally among
>>you. And even as he stirred up conflict by the truth he so perfectly served,
>>so also will you as your dedication to truth becomes increasingly strong.
>>
>>This is not to frighten you, but it is important that you be wise as
>>serpents as you face the future. You already understand much of the
>>harmlessness of doves, but still turn away too readily from the wisdom of
>>serpents. The peace that passes all understanding will lie mostly within
>>your own heart and soul as you bring yourself to ever greater integration
>>with the plans of your adjuster. Do not despair when it is not mirrored in
>>the external world. In time it will be so, but that time is not yet.
>>
>>You have a masterful task here on Urantia. On the one hand, your whole soul
>>must be committed to loving the Father and one another as yourselves. On the
>>other hand, you cannot expect that agenda to come at you from most of the
>>world, and therefore, your effectiveness must be tempered by what is truly
>>possible, and not merely that for which you long. This is ever the challenge
>>of all spiritual growth. It is so for us here to serve you as well ­ we long
>>to make all well in an instant, but such is not only not possible, it would
>>not serve you well. This same challenge of seeking methods of effectiveness
>>has been before us since the beginning of this mission and it continues
>>onward to the unseeable future.
>>
>>In time, you will learn to fatten on this. You will learn enthusiasm for
>>solving the problems and puzzles of increasing your effectiveness. But when
>>it is still so new, it is sometimes daunting and discouraging. In your
>>discouragement, you sometimes deny the reality of what discourages you in
>>order to purchase a false peace. Unfortunately, this will not serve you
>>well. Better genuine disillusionment, followed by manfully seeking viable
>>solutions, than to allow wishful thinking to falsely cast your situations in
>>a supposedly favorable light. In this latter case, you will be unable to do
>>what is necessary because you will not even see the necessity. I know that
>>looking at reality squarely is difficult for Urantians. I understand from my
>>long years among you just why this is so, why it is so hard for you to face
>>the painful realities of your lives. But in the end, only reality can yield
>>results. For unreality does not exist. And no pleasant fantasy can provide
>>you with substance.
>>
>>Therefore, I ask this of you. Joy in the fact of the some-time arrival of
>>the Magisterial Mission and the Son. He will arrive, yes. Turn to this for
>>as much hope and light as it can give you, especially on dark days when it
>>appears that little forward movement has occurred. But as you wait, do the
>>most important preparations that you can ­ that of personal correction and
>>assisting others when asked in their personal correction. For this cleansing
>>is probably the most important preparation you can make. Not so that you be
>>fit for him ­ his love is for all ­ but so that you be ready for enhanced
>>service when the time comes, fit by virtue of your prior efforts and
>>experience. It is a privilege to work towards this wonderful future.
>>
>>But the kingdom of heaven within lies in this very instant, in the very
>>instant in which you connect with the pure love that is your birthright,
>>that lives in your very heart. In that moment, you are with the Father, and
>>in no need of the arrival of any to your world, for in that moment Love has
>>Arrived and you are one with it. In the strength from those gathered
>>moments, you will do what is needful in the external world as well.
>>
>>Seek the Father, dear ones. Our endless message is still our most profound
>>one. Love is truly the answer to all your questions and desires, the
>>solution to every problem of living, if taken far enough. Love. Love the
>>Father, and one another as yourselves. And allow yourselves to receive love,
>>something more difficult for many of you than extending love. Receive. Let
>>it in until you overflow. The love you extend from the overflow of receiving
>>it will be more powerful by tenfold than that which you attempt to give from
>>an only partially filled cup. Take the love that the universe gives you.
>>Worry not as to your deservingness. As your Father¹s child, you deserve his
>>love regardless of your status. Receive it in full and spread the abundance
>>around you.
>>
>>For the Father is the Supreme reality of living. His love is unimaginably
>>rich and varied. His will for you is not of olden notions of sacrifice and
>>self-abnegation, but is filled with the abundance of joy and love that
>>awaits you. The Father¹s will only appears difficult when you have not yet
>>realized that he always and ever knows what your true heart needs and
>>desires more than you can yet begin to know. And he wishes for you all the
>>very best of everything in the universe. Sometimes it takes difficult
>>choices to allow yourselves to embrace this abundance, but make those
>>choices and embrace the abundance of his love now. Receive the kingdom of
>>his love now. And in those moments, you are complete, and building the
>>completion of your souls, the results of the integrative moments of heart
>>and mind.
>>
>>Dear ones, we teachers love you so. We watch your courageous attempts even
>>in the midst of your fears and pains. You see yourselves too often as
>>inadequate, as not meeting the challenges. But we see what you call frail
>>movements forward as mighty leaps in the face of a terrible history. You are
>>stronger than you know, and surrounded by more love than you can imagine as
>>we watch with love and tenderness your every step. As you stumble, our arms
>>go around you ­ we hold you close. As you step forward, however tentatively,
>>a cheer goes up among us. And we long for the day when we can greet you face
>>to face, and arm in arm.
>>
>>Be of good cheer. This does not mean that you should deny downcast moments.
>>Not at all. But that in those moments, cultivate habits of remembering the
>>greater realities, so that they can strengthen you as good food when you
>>falter and faint. All will be well. Truly, dear ones, all will be well.
>>
>>Farewell,
>>
