SPIRILOGICAL RESPONSE
TR: Nina

I am ABRAHAM. Welcome. What an honor it is for me to draw closer to you each
week. Our interaction builds upon ideals and enhances creative thinking. Our
minds together help us to be strong as we accept the challenges of daily
living. My gratitude for Father runs deep, for He has answered the desire of
my heart.

Last week, we spoke on surpassing irrational emotional actions to becoming
used to using the spirilogical response. In every relationship there is an
abundance of emotions. Many rash decisions have been made from this mind-set,
and has caused great confusion with those you love.

A man who has been unfairly treated at his place of employment will certainly
be deep within his emotions. This man has felt these injustices deeply and is
burdened by an abundance of spirit poisons; there is anger, fear, and regret.
The ego chatters incessantly with... "They have wronged me unfairly. I must
seek to regain my upstanding position."

With the ego, there is a great percentage of worry placed upon aesthetics or
how he may appear in others eyes. This man so deep in emotions or spirit
poisons need not take action immediately to defend his position, to scream out
for justice, to bang fists on his desk for attention. These dramatics tend to
put people on the offensive.

The wise man knows the emotional place is not to be making decisions from. The
wise man would take a moment to connect with Father, ask for our Master's
change of mind, allow for emotional energy to be transformed into a place of
spirit and logic. The man could then react with a spirilogical response, being
quite aware that Father has his best interest at heart. The man asks the
question, "What would Father have me do?" What an invitation to an invasion of
divine forces!

One not skilled in using the spirilogical response would take action in the
midst of his emotions, making decision in that moment that would prove to be
unfruitful. Perhaps he would quit his job or make an exit with memorable harsh
words. The man has a family to provide for and he allowed his emotions to blow
with the wind. In his rash response, he has then created a whole new list of
problems and the severing of ties with healthful connections.

One having been quieted b the Master's gentle touch is at last ready with his
question, "What would Father have me do?" His faith allows him to believe
answers are forthcoming. He can then step out with a healing response,
building connections, creating light, and transforming negative into positive.
Yes, he is ready to respond with spirit and logic.

In your relationships, there are so many who answer the ego's call with
actions taken from hurt feelings, from decreased self-esteem. The spirilogical
child knows the source of all love and feels no personal offense. The self-
esteem is not affected. The need to scream out for acceptance is not
necessary.

Once again, I would ask that you continue with this exercise and know that you
have permission to get away, find some solitude, connect with Father, and ask
the Master for an exchange of your mind with His. Act not from your emotions,
but accept Father's gift of time to have connection with Him and become
skilled using the spirilogical response. Have you questions?

ANESIA: Abraham, I have just been thinking a lot about the future and where I
am going in my life and what I want to do as a career--for college and stuff.
I want to do what comes naturally to me and what is easiest for me. That has
been--communicating with people and stuff like that. Lately, I have been
having a hard time communication because I haven't been able to express myself
very well. I have been having a hard time having other people understand me,
expressing my feelings. If you could just give me some advice or some
guidance?

ABRAHAM: Certainly. I do not see the problem so much your communication skills
as I see it with your youth. Older individuals tend to be set in their
thinking, believing their years of experience makes them more knowledgeable
than you. This is correct to a point. When older individuals disregard the
thoughts and ideas of their youth, they do forfeit great creative ideas. The
youth ask that they be heard and understood, and the older adults desire to
help and make the way easier. We must remember the apostle, who was at the
Master's side to the end, was indeed the youngest apostle--John. John could be
found many times at the Master's side when Jesus needed assistance for
personal happenings, or needed open and honest ideas. Your future seems to be
unsure at this time, but I can say that your are correct in doing what you
love, doing those things that you have a passion for. Remember, sometimes the
things you love take time and there are other avenues to travel before you
arrive at your destination. Keep in mind our youngest apostle and his
closeness with the Master. You are doing well, and I see no need to have
anxiety over this. Your path to Father has been mapped out. Listen to Him and
trust in your abilities. Is this helping? (Thank you--yes.) Another question?

INERIA: Abraham, I feel like this lesson was designed for me today. It has
been three weeks of obsessive behavior on my part towards a boss that won't
leave me alone. Today I left work three hours early, but first I went behind
the building and vented to friends. I guess that is better than venting on the
person I wanted to. So this is basically--turn the other cheek?

ABRAHAM: No! No, this is allowing time for a change of mind and acting from
there instead of acting from emotions. Speaking to friends is excellent in
creating mindal change, depending upon the friends you speak with. There are
those friends who would tend to make the situation worse with negative
comments, or those friends who would validate your feelings and have some
sympathy but remain positive and uplifting, maybe assisting in resolutions.
Are you understanding? 

INERIA: Yes. Thank you very much for the entire lesson tonight.

ABRAHAM: You are welcome. Have not anxiety over this. Try to incorporate a
lighthearted humor when contending to your boss. That is all. Another
question?

MIRIAM: Abraham, was today in the den a good example of this lesson with me?

ABRAHAM: Yes, that was an excellent example of a spirilogical response. You
could have done a number of things to make matters worse, a number of things
to have to deal with on top of your dilemma. It is acceptable to walk away for
a time to connect with the spirit, enlarge your capacity to receive His word,
to go through the layers of the ego to logic and spirit to act from. Yes.
Another question?

WILLENA: Abraham, so when someone comes to that moment of choice when they are
in their emotional upheaval--stress, and they can remember to simply ask for
Father's way... I guess my question is about... you said something about the
need for attention, and so at the bottom of the distress--is it that there is
an emotional experience of being invalidated or unrecognized or overlooked in
some way and in that asking the question, "Father, what would you have me do?
What would you do?" that actually gives a moment of remembrance of affection,
that again they realize they are not alone and that there is a higher
recognition towards them, so that the Father is there with them and validating
them as a being, and that they don't have to go off into a tangent--emotional
tantrum. Am I on track with that?

ABRAHAM: Yes. Yes, well said. Concerning your fellows, they are perhaps like a
mirror and tend to reflect feelings upon you that would make you feel less
than, and this is where your emotions come into play, and then your decision
to act or stop for a moment with Father and the question, "What would you have
me do?" Yes, beautifully put Willena. You are understanding. One more
question.

WILLENA: I have a question on a person. Can I ask something about someone
outside this group? (Yes.) I'd like to ask actually if she would be an
appropriate person to introduce this to. Can I just think who it is? Will that
be enough? My concern is that she has had a very challenging life, that she
has been recovering from emotional and mental distress more than most people
do. So my question is... would it be appropriate to introduce her to the
Urantia book and also to this transmission as ongoing support for her ongoing
healing?

ABRAHAM: One moment. I am certain that these lessons would suit her for the
time being. They are simple, and yet, well with the reality of mortal living
allowing her the spiritual tools to use in the practically of mortal living.

MIRIAM: Abraham, can I ask just one more question? (Certainly.) When you said
you could see our energy last week, what did it look like?

ABRAHAM: I see the energy as you would see heat rising up from a blacktop, a
road, only in beautiful vibrant colors. The colors signifying certain
meanings, as a bright green would be a neutral color or an open personality. A
blue color would signify harmony and compromise, and a violet, which is seen
frequently here within your group, would signify strong feelings or passion.
One more question.

HARRISON: I haven't read all the Urantia Book, so maybe this is covered there,
but how would you have us act or react regarding homosexuality?

ABRAHAM: My understanding is that you would regard homosexuality as you would
any other person. This topic that still promotes confusion, and the best that
we can hope for at this time would be to promote love and acceptance, and
allow one and all to know they are a beloved child of God. This material life
is not what it seems, but a shadow of peoples desires, and of course, everyone
desires love and acceptance. Homosexuality is a great teacher of tolerance,
and if Urantian's can look upon this with normalcy, then the negative focus
would be drawn away from it, and true understanding would emerge. Yes, that is
all. 

I would express to you my unending love and appreciation for your patience
with me. Your kindness allows me to better teach. I thank you. My love is with
you. Until next week, shalom.
