Illawarra District, Australia, June 27, 2016.
Midwayer Chief, Bzutu (ABC-22).
The Damascus Scribe (Sananda).
Subject: “Dedication and Change of Responsibilities.”
Message received by George Barnard.
Bzutu: “You are not going anywhere, not in the immediate at any rate. You are useful to us and you have been educated to be successful in a dozen ways. Remember this bit of prose, ‘Every morning when a gazelle wakes up, it knows it must run faster than the fastest lion. Every morning when a lion wakes up, it knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle. It matters not whether you are a lion or a gazelle for when the sun comes up, you’d better run.
“You have been running when the sun came up and you were still running . . . running more . . . more, till the small hours. We Midwayers and many others near our realm call this dedication. As much as we also possess this dedication, we much appreciate it in other species. I’ll leave you now for Eastern Europe. Adieu.”
George: “My dedicated love to you all.”
The Scribe: “This is the Scribe who greets you. Well, my dear friends, you have often discussed and wondered about what ‘critical times’ would need to be overcome and when such times would arise. We, who make it our lengthy task to work on sustained progress for the Urantia races.— and the planet to be sure — hope to indefinitely defer another world war. And meanwhile it is hoped that all parties will come to understand that each — China, Russia and the US — could each of them utterly destroy the viability for human life on this precious globe.
“What we cannot do is stave off a major depression. It will come with a vengeance as no amount of money printing can change a natural tide, just delay it. And any delay will increase the ferocity with which the ‘waves of that tide’ will hit the shores and all who feel they are quite safe there. As you have been led by us and taught by us in many of the things that will come to pass, you must ready yourself to be available when needed.”
George: “That was nearly 30 years of one-on-one advice being dispensed. And you now want all that to go to the lists — all languages? I need time to ready myself for that idea.”
The Scribe: “My dear one, it’s merely a change of responsibilities and you are more than ready for it now. Still, I can give you courage and I can give you time. Meanwhile, it would stand your readers in good stead if for now they remembered to live a little more sparingly. That is it for today. I leave you all my blessings, my well-wishes and my love. Good day from the Scribe.”
