Opening
ABRAHAM: I am ABRAHAM. Greetings, it is so wonderful that I feel so free from any pressure. I can be exactly who I am and I am comforted knowing I am loved. We can see many of Father’s children under such pressure to become more materially, socially and even intellectually. Most of the time the pressure is not worth the reward, the continual striving brings such imbalance and many look for a satisfaction that never comes. I am so grateful to be well within this family of God. I know you each desire my happiness and overall goodness. I am at peace with who I am and that, my friends, is a battle won.
Lesson
This past week we were learning about the Father and the individual. As the part moves—so moves the whole. Your education, your well-being and balanced living does indeed affect the whole. Your personal relationship with Father is certainly a map to Paradise. The Father is involved in your lives as much as you allow Him. The Father is within each person, as well as without, but certainly is He so much more. Our Father of all fathers’ has fragmented Himself to be a close personal Father to each one of His children. No detail of personal living is too small to take to the Father.
I believe each one of us would want to personally review how we allow Father to influence our daily living. Is Father out among you and your companions? Is He in your everyday work? Is He allowed in your home and have influence over family matters? Many leave Father to their own allotment of stillness time and take Him not out into the business of living. I mean not to say be fanatical and preach on the street corner, no, but to have Him in your thoughts as much as you are capable of.
As I feel comforted here among you as myself, you should also feel that among your fellows. Your personal relationship with Father is indeed an aid to that feeling of well-being and belonging. We each are simply learning children and as our Mission moves forward we have not room for guilt or regret. We must continue to move forward from this day on.
In your activities for this week measure your amount of time you feel you can be your authentic self. Who is that? How does a close personal relationship with Father help to accept that person you are and the person you are becoming? Are there any questions?
Dialogue
Calvin: Abraham, thanks for the always, always helpful lesson every week. I do find every week part of your lesson in my week and it helps. I think the biggest help this last while has been to trust Father’s good and in control—not my worrying–out of control way. So thank you very much for your assistance.
ABRAHAM: Thank you Calvin. I do see you as having made great strides toward personal peace. You seem to be leaning toward the realness of living, instead of how things may look on the outside. It takes some years of experience to trust something unseen, when you have not found trust in many things you can see. How blessed are we that Father is not like any human. He makes the sun to rise and set everyday. He hangs the earth upon nothing. He is literally a driving material force, as well as spiritual. You are getting to know Father in your moments of calm and this is indeed showing forth fruits. Well done, my son. Another question?
Harrison: Abraham, I am very grateful to have the experiences that I have had with Father, but I don’t understand. Am I having great experiences with Father or am I having something that I am making up? In having these good experiences—how do I fall away so easily and get back into a situation where I don’t feel as close?
ABRAHAM: I see that this is simply the mortal dilemma. You are made to believe more than the mind can see. You are having experiences with Father and those lessons that are lasting indeed enjoy the harvest. Those moments that seem to fade away–allow them to go. Nothing of value is ever really lost and this mortal life is your classroom and you will be required to learn lessons in a manner where you will retain memory of them. Remember to find reversion, find a reason to laugh and have enjoyment. This is indeed part of Father’s abundance in daily living. Have not worry. Is this helping? (It was very lovingly expressed Abraham. Thank you.) You’re welcome. One more question.
Tectra: Abraham, with looking at the energy on the planet right now and people it seems are becoming so sensitive these days because this veil between spirit and human form is becoming so thin. My question is how to be more tolerant of people that are getting just so out of control?
ABRAHAM: Understood. This also is natural outworking. As mortals there is always the ongoing battle with the ego or animal tendencies. There is always the desire for the quick fix. It would seem that many in the world want to bypass the hard work, but still receive the satisfaction of doing it. We too in the beginning of our Teaching Mission jumped to many conclusions and after certain lessons, we were made to be more balanced. Humility has been a fine teacher. Agondonter status is a required mortal lesson and what the mind does not know for sure, the imagination can make it up. This is why we have you, our Teaching Mission and our Correcting Time. You each will be an ambassador to showing this logical side of the spiritual life. As with natural evolution, there will be some moments of chaos or confusion. Not to worry though. As time moves on the spiritual life will be made more clear. Good question.
Closing
With that I shall take my leave. My affection is ever growing for you each. Find time this week for rest and reversion. Until next time, shalom.
