MEETING WITH ABRAHAM
JANUARY 10, 1999
WOODS CROSS GROUP

"QUESTIONS"

PRESENT: Ashley, Harrison, Calvin, Ellen, Nina, Ineara, Miriam, Tectra,
Michael, Janet, Samuel, Zach, Jonathon, Glen, Honoray, Rachel, Anthony.)

TR: Nina

(Meeting began with some good healthy discussion, and another of those times
when some tender feelings were exposed in group dynamics.)

I am ABRAHAM. Greetings. It is strange in a way for me to be on this side of
mortal life watching you and asking myself.. "Do I believe what I have just
seen?" What an advancement you have just made. Those courageous individuals
willing to step out and make change are those who lead in our mission.

How important it is that we make clear we have understood one another, or, if
not understood -- at least - heard. Yes. What an extraordinary time in your
learning. No aspects of your spiritual education may be passed over. No matter
the discomfort, we must be willing to allow Father's expressions through us. 

My suggestion for your mission group would be for you to keep your discussion
mostly concerning mortal living -- every day life. How does your divine
education serve you in your work, your family, your community? I am quite
honored to be counted among you as a friend, a co-learner. You each know me
better than you think -  we are family on a soul level. I would take great
pleasure in discussing anything with you or perhaps answer some questions. You
may begin.

RACHEL: Father Abraham, I had d very pleasant and enjoyable surprise
yesterday. I am quite sure you know about it. After five years, Melissa came
to see me and spent a couple hours with me. (Melissa had left our original
group in 1992 from fear these lessons were not of God).  She was very, very
interested in everybody, and how they were doing and what was going on. As you
know, I said to her, "if you would like to come see all of them why don't you
just come to a meeting with me? " she said, "okay, I will." So I am going to
get back in touch with her and have her come with me. I know before, you told
us that it would take time with Melissa and that we weren't to push her--just
to be friends. Can you assess her some now and tell me about it please?

ABRAHAM: I am understanding that Melissa is somewhat interested, and yet,
still apprehensive about getting too close. There still is some fear
concerning the origin form which these words stem. I would always welcome
Melissa back to visit with us, and confirm -- within her is the source of all
goodness, all protection, and she need only look at the fruits that have been
produced by our Mission. Melissa does well with or without our group, and the
Urantia Book. She is a highly spiritual individual who lives and acts from her
heart. Yes. Is this answering? (Yes and thank you.) You are welcome. Another
question?

INERIA: Father Abraham, thank you very much for the lesson tonight and last
weeks. Is that what He meant by stumbling over Him when we are swimming? Like
when we make our own assumptions that He doesn't have time for such a small
matter and we just do it ourselves? 

ABRAHAM: In part, yes, this is stumbling. There lies at your feet all the
Master's capabilities and it is easy for mortals to say, "with all the worlds
difficulties why would he take interest in mine?  This is the reason for the
existence of the Spirit of Truth. Michael's Spirit of Truth is not limited by
lists of tasks and chores, no. You could perhaps understand His capabilities
as a computer in which an unlimited amount of information may be accessed when
appropriate time would be. So you could pray for His involvement and not
receive an answer in your time. The Spirit of Truth is capable of
synchronizing events which would serve the whole, and this could take time,
but surely, each individuals petitions are heard and coordinated through the
best methods of teaching. The Spirit of Truth looks at the individuals
difficulties as concerning the whole. To serve the individual is to serve the
whole. Michael's Mission here on Urantia was for that very reason--to let His
children know His assistance is immediate. Our Indwelling Adjuster works also
with the Spirit of Truth, and are honored each time you choose to utilize
their capabilities. Are not your personal lessons wonderful, for they show you
a now and higher way? You do well Ineara. Carry on. 

INEARA: Thank you very much. You just brought it full circle for me quickly.
Thank you.( You are welcome. Another question?)

MIRIAM: Abraham, n following up with that description of Ineara's. First of
all, I want to say thank you for the lessons, I especially loved the positive
energy ones.  Those helped me so much through my surgery. It is such a
tangible way to relate moment to moment with what was going on there, as are
these lessons. So, in trying to understand the process, this weekend I hung
out a lot with what I think was you and my Indwelling Fragment, and asking for
Michael's help, and asking for Mother to help my brain connect the right
circuits, and all of that. Could you describe to me or give me some pointers
of like what that process ... and Will's book helped me through the evenings
as well too. I am just trying to benchmark what some of that guidance was.
Could you help me with that? Are you able to do that? Do you know what I am
asking? 

ABRAHAM: Yes. I can try. It would sem there are questions you have to which
there are not answers at this time. Your asking and not understanding,
promotes some discomfort. Your meetings over the weekend were to aid you in
just being, to aid you in trusting, and curbing your curiosity toward
patience. There are so many things we do not and cannot right now understand.
The diligent mortal insists on doing the math and sometimes it doesn't add up.
You are very spiritual, and yet, you come up against things which do not seem
to be spiritual. It is difficult for you to understand some individuals who
cannot see the obvious truth of spirituality. This could cause you some
anxiety, and yet, you are utilizing the forces to assist you. Well done. Your
enthusiasm is a light which draws many individuals to it. Our visits were to
assist you in decreasing anxiety and direction you on opening the doors to
higher understanding. Is this helping? (Oh yes, Abraham and I needed it. I
thank you very much.) You are welcome. Another question?

MIKE: Yes. Happy New Year Abraham. I appreciate you taking time out of your
busy schedule to come talk to us. I got a question. I don't know if you can
answer it, but I would sure like to see if you could illuminate us on it, or
at least me....  I have been doing a lot of research and gathering data on
"planetary realignment." For those who have been with this group like Calvin
and the others, you have never addressed anything like that. It has been kind
of a topic of discussion amongst a lot of prophesiers, revelators,
fortunetellers, predictors. It is all over the Internet. I guess you know what
the Internet is. There is all kinds of data on there. I would like to know if
you have any information that you could share with us, or share with me,
concerning this planetary realignment as the planet is trying to get its
perfect equilibrium. It is the goal of all of us--to be balanced. What kind of
situation would it bring to the planet physically as far as the land and the
water and the air? It is not a fear question. It is like just a thing to know.
 
ABRAHAM: Understood. Planetary alignment is mostly unseen, changes in which
you can only feel spiritually. The changes are going to be noticed mostly by
you who sit here today, while the youth of Urantia will be born into this
change -- so it will be as if it always was. You, yourself, have spoke of
spiritual awakening, and this will certainly force moral changes. The moral
changes will have a huge effect on the world, and there will certainly force
moral changes. The moral changes will have a huge effect on the world, and
there will be a natural outworking that occurs. The outworking being--all
individuals are well looked after and taken care of. There will always be
environmental upset, environmental changes, natural occurrences and yes, lives
will be taken, or at least affected. Your spiritual upliftment is what shall
see you through these devastations. There have been many natural occurrences
that have taken lives, but none more damaging than what man has done to man.
How wonderful it will be when Urantia discovers that there is no cessation of
life, and this alone can eliminate much fear and increase more energy spent on
things spiritual. Is this helping?

MIKE: Yes. Can you give particulars Abraham, any particulars, specifics. Is it
possible? Just so you know, I have seen futuristic maps of the world, and I am
seeing a common thread through some of them. So I was just wondering with the
non-physical--yourself--if the spiritual realm can see, or what you are
allowed to see, or what you are allowed to share? Anything? 

ABRAHAM: I cannot know the outcome of natural occurrences. I do not know
specifics. I cannot say "California will be under water." I know as much as
you do. Another question? 

INEARA: Father Abraham. Is a lot of that due to the fact that we have free
will, and that the future -- no one knows because it could change with our
free will and our choices?

ABRAHAM: Yes, exactly. There are a number of scientific discoveries that could
be made if man were willing to give up any glory for them. There is
understanding in predicting earth disaster. There are medical discoveries that
would eliminate devastation diseases, yes, the planetary knowledge is limited
due to free will. You are correct. Another question? 

HARRISON: Abraham, in what way are you suggesting that our free will, our
thoughts affect what is created? In other words--how are we creating by what
we think?

ABRAHAM: Understood. Absolutely. We create those things in which we focus
upon. If we worship money for example, we spend our time in trying to create
that. Our ideas and energy go into those things we find important. Power for
example ... some individuals put their energies into gaining power, and like
with money, it may be obtained through causing pain or taking from those which
are weak. The energy is what manifests our desires. Our attention on what we
want draws attention away from other things so our resources are used up.
Those who desire world peace can spread the word over the computer networking,
and then turn around and be unfair to his neighbors. Yes, Harrison, it is what
our energy goes into --there is your material labor, and there is your
thoughts, which travel the circuits petitioning to those individuals who could
help you to fulfill your desire. These traveling thoughts are also affecting
them, as well as those you know. Thoughts have power in a material realm, yes,
but also on the spiritual. Is this helping? (Yes. Thank you.) Another
question?

MIKE: Yes. I have another question. I need to know the ‘source' Abraham of the
life force that flows through all of us. I was looking it up on the Urantia
Book and I was getting different things. I was just wondering what you know
from your background experience in the universe where the life force comes
from and how we can use it effectively in our life?

ABRAHAM: This is easy... (laughter) The First Source and Center, God the
Father, who dwells in Paradise.... He is the source of all things who need
sustenance. He is easily accessed through your stillness or prayers. Does this
answer?

MIKE: Not really. I guess it sounds like a pretty obvious question. I know God
is the source of all things, but I will try to get more specific. The Urantia
Book talks about energy and mind and then the Third Source, you know, the
Infinite Spirit that materializes everything the mind and through this
energy... So, I am trying to tie it all together. We obviously have our mind,
our personality, you know, the working inside of us. And this life force
thing--I want to know if it is totally separate from all of that, from all of
these entities, and from whence does it come, and how it can effectively be
used to physically create in our own personal lives, cause if a lot of people
know they could use this force and have physical manifestations, and tap into
it, it would make life a lot easier. So, I am trying to know if this life
force is something outside of the Thought Adjuster, the Universal Mother
Spirit, the Spirit of Truth, and the mind. 

ABRAHAM: Understood. It would be well to simplify, my son. Father is not so
complex. He, being the First Source and Center, does supply this force to
those beings who came after Him. He is the life force. Those in whom you
mention are also recipients. They do add their own flavor to the soup, so to
speak, as you add to contribute to the reality of the Supreme Being. Yes. Is
this helping? (Yes. I don't want to create anymore problems.) Thank you.
(Laughter) Another question?

MIRIAM: I don't know if there is a lot of time left, but we have some new
people here tonight.

ABRAHAM: Have you questions? (Not for tonight. Thank you.)

ALAUNA: Abraham, I have a question. I don't know if you can call it a question
cause it is more of a comment. You talked tonight about enjoying here speaking
more on our mortal lives and realizing how the teachings have affected our
mortal lives, not so much our spiritual thinking, or wondering about the
world, or what is going to happen in the future. My question is a little bit
more about the balance between the mortal life and spiritual life. I feel like
I have been pretty spiritual all my life. I have always known Christ Michael
in my life, and I have always been able to speak candidly with Father, asking
for help in my life, but I feel like I spend so much of my time living this
mortal life in raising a number of children, helping with children, my
grandchildren, working a job, dealing with families through my work. I feel
like probably these evenings that we spend together are really the only time
that I feel like I can work on the spiritual. I am wondering if that is enough
of a balance? I try to be the best person I can be in my daily work and
dealing with my children, but is one day a week studying on the spiritual
enough of a balance, I guess si my question?

ABRAHAM: My daughter ALAUNA, you live the spiritual every day in work, in
home, children, grandchildren, friends, and family. The two are not separate
in your life. Your combination is wonderful--in that you live what you
believe. You fear not in stepping out to help an individual. You are helping
so as to help, not to gain glory, and this is what we endeavor to teach. Worry
not on your spiritual concentration only being one night. Your underlying
spiritual understanding is quite enough to carry you through on those
assignments Father would have you do. Yes. Well done.
	You each here are excellent examples of those not afraid to stand up for
doing what's right, spiritually and morally. I learn each time we meet. I am
slipping. I have enjoyed our time together. I would send you each a note of my
deep feelings for you. Until next week, shalom.
