*	Lantarnek (Jonathan TR):  Greetings, I am Lantarnek.  I present myself to
you today to provide counsel, to be encouraging, to shed light upon your souls,
to support you and acknowledge your efforts at comprehension in the manifold
perspectives of reality and even more so your good endeavors at adopting
realization into living and adapting your current level of attainment to your
ever expanding and enlarging comprehension.
	I am going to address the topic of completion.  It is a driving force for
all ascending beings, the reach for perfection of personality, the striving of
mind to comprehend totality and even the more simple efforts of finishing your
daily tasks.
	At the highest levels of universe reality there is only God as absolute,
fully contained, totally complete.  You who have read the Urantia text know of
the complete and perfect universes of Havona.  This external revelation of deity
demonstrated perfection and completion instantaneously and revealed and enlarged
totality.  Now, if I may use that term, it is witnessed God absolutely, God and
universe wholly integrated and one.  You and I are likewise complete, wholly
contained with all that God has bestowed upon us.
	This age in which we grow reveals not so much lack transforming into
possession; we appear to acquire knowledge, to develop understanding, to
increase
in love.  However, all these elements -- and more of which I will not
consume the
time to enumerate -- are currently present.  This is the nature of the Supreme. 
You are exposed to the mechanism of Supreme development in the form of the
transfer of potentials to actuals.  Both potential and actual dimensions of
Supremacy are real and present now.  Your fullness in spiritual development is a
current reality.  All that is transpiring currently is the sliding of the scale
from what is in potential to what is actual.  You are this day complete even
while you are engaged in the great universe adventure of seeking completion.  It
is merely the turning of the page, the changing of your view, the injection
of an
element of experience.  Experience is the transformation through time of
potential into actual.  If potential of all possibility for higher states were
not already present you would not attain them.
	I spoke earlier that God in fullness revealed a fuller dimension of God as
God and universe in fullness instantaneously.  Now we experience God and
universe
in instantaneous fullness along with universe in a slow progressing unfoldment
also in fullness.  This is completion compounded by completion.  Therefore, in
comprehending this infrastructure, you are the better able to exercise trust, to
have strong and well founded hope, to believe in the inevitable outworking of
good, to be encouraged in your own worth, to rest in the arms of God, to know
that you will not miss a vital step in your progress.
	Once upon a time you lived as a child, and then a turning took place and
you were transformed into an adult.  As you have spent your life year after year
you perceived that interval of childhood development to be but the initial phase
of a long career.  The greater your understanding of your entire being, the more
significant it becomes to you this initial phase of childhood.   However, you
understand that there is much to be gained in the longer phase of adulthood.
One
day, we melchizedeks teach, you will look back upon this age of universe
unfoldment and see it as that time of childhood for all of everyone currently
engaged in Supremacy development.  Every child born is a complete adult.  Every
seed contains the flower.  It is present; it is complete.  Time and growth are
what ensue revealing what is present.
	This view may be applied to your efforts in extending the love of healing
to others, of extending the compassion of forgiveness to those who behave as you
would perceive to be through ignorance, for within each one is perfection,
completion.  This explains how one can turn instantly from sinner to saint.
This
is how you exchange your mind for the mind that is in Christ.
	I have said enough, and I will open the floor to your feedback and
questions.

	Jada:  You said in this present universe age we are all children.  You
along with us are in this childhood state.

*	Lantarnek:  Yes, indeed.  We are told that following this interval of time
we will discover the adulthood of universe manifestation, and it will extend for
great ages, longer than this interval of Supremacy, and we will look back upon
our current era as childhood, significant in its contribution to our well-being
in ages to come, yet much more will be experiencible in the adult phase that was
not able to be undertaken in youth.  I might stretch the description to the
brink
of error by saying that deity and the perfect central universe are like the two
elements of human conception that combine to bring birth, and then the age
we are
in is the growing up of the child.  The age to follow is the maturation of the
adult.  The final result will be the enlightenment of all as God.

	Jada:  Thank you for that grand perspective.

*	Lantarnek:  You are welcome. I must be humble and say that it is my limited
view, as we all have much to discover.

	Tom:  You mentioned the mind that is in Christ can also be in you and that
the seed contains the flower.  Is there an interim phase that you can
comment on? 
How do we get from A to B?
 Or is that just a statement of fact that we will experientially understand
as we
go from here to God?

*	Lantarnek:  I would offer additional comment by taking up first the seed
that contains the flower and noting that a seed becomes a flower only by the
addition of light and moisture and nourishment.  These elements are given to you
in the form of spirit bestowals, indwellings, guardian assignments, and in the
form of revelation, the grace of spiritual comprehension.  However, these
additional elements, though given to you, simply initiate and support that which
you already have.
	Michael when upon this world was born an infant and discovered that he was
a Creator Son of a local universe.  He received the light, the nourishment of
divine support, and discovered that which he already was, and this is the
foundation of his faith.  When you make your mind that which was the mind of
Christ you are acknowledging that you contain already everything that you
will be
and will in time become it just as Jesus did when he reached complete mortal
attainment and qualified for fusion.  To exchange your mind for the mind of
Christ is not to discard the mind you have but to unleash it to be the mind that
Christ likewise used to realize fullness of his being, his nature, his origin,
his destiny.
	Today you seek to accumulate understanding, to experience truth.  There
will arrive a time when the seeking will lose its importance, when you will
rather enjoy absorbing truth, reveling in understanding.  It will be in your
hands, not out of reach.  Today you are like the seed that is sending out
shoots,
developing many leaves reaching for the sky soon to discover that within your
makeup is a grand bouquet.  It is not evident as you look upon yourself
through a
snapshot of time.  But over the duration of time you will see that which you
have
already.

	Tom:  It's been mentioned that in the process of taking on an idea as your
own is to be found the technique in which the mind that was in Christ can be in
you.  Is this the absorption you are talking about where you don't have to seek
it, you just have to accept it?
*	Lantarnek:  Yes, it is.  Ultimately no idea of anyone's is anyone's idea
but that it existed before the commencement of time in God.  The presence of an
idea anywhere in the universe is due to this adoptive mechanism.  This
ability of
mind to adopt ideas so readily, to take something that appeared to be other and
to make it a possession, to make it oneself, illustrates the simplicity of the
spiritual awakening to your divine nature and to all the divine support and to
the inevitable attainment of your divine perfection.
	I will take a moment to draw in the picture of your holiday celebration of
Christmas and ask you to see your Christmas tree with its bounty of gifts
beneath.  At the beginning of your celebration all gifts are present.
Throughout
your event they unfold one by one.  At the close of your celebration you feel
that you have received as well as given all your gifts.  But they were there
initially just as they were there in the end.  It was only a matter of
unfoldment.  You have already what you seek, but the interval of unfoldment
remains to be experienced.  Michael understood this fully in the course of his
bestowals, and it is that same simple understanding that you this day can have
and do have.

	Jada:  You say all potentials are present like the flower is in the seed. 
Is time always necessary in the unfolding.  Are there miracles?  Can we take on
the mind of Christ temporarily without the full unfoldment of time?

*	Lantarnek:  It is the will of the Father that reality unfolds through time
in this age, but the Father has not withheld any element that would
contribute to
the completeness of what this age represents.  Therefore it is present now only
redefined as potential, stalled as actual just as your Christmas present is
wrapped and ribboned, present but not unfolded.  You can know spiritually your
attainment, but it is the will of the Father that they be unwrapped piece by
piece, for it is the divine pleasure to experience this development.  Because of
the requirement of time oriented development, Father has given you of Himself. 
This Fragment is timeless, absolute in its own right, and you do have the
ability
to momentarily experience the shortening of time, the collapsing of ascension in
the embrace of communion.  Experiencing this gives you the stability to
undertake
the journey of the time requirement only now without the uncertainty that
substance will be found in your search, for you know that bridging of time
in the
divine embrace that it is there only to be unfolded in the drama of Supremacy.

	Tom:  Is healing an example of bridging time by seeing the end from the
beginning?

*	Lantarnek:  Yes.  This is very important in the subject of healing and in
the effectiveness of healing.
	By approaching an event of healing knowing full well of the results that
healing brings, you are inoculating a cycle of time into a pattern that will
lead
to the outward manifestation of your inner knowledge.  By knowing the
fullness of
grace, the bestowal of all that is needed and of support to any individual, that
it is all present now, the functional transition to that state is aided as you
firmly assert its presence even if it is not perceivable.
	I must add that it is of importance to know that even the result of healing
is part of a broader context of well-being for any individual.  This
explains the
apparent mixed results of healing requested and attained and healing requested
and apparently not received.  For what transpires in every individual is part of
a large context of necessary experiences for soul development.
	I hope I have contributed.

	Tom:  The faith of the healer is the inoculation that is given to the
patient who closes the loop by connecting with Father.  Does that make sense?

*	Lantarnek:  Very well said, my friend.  Just as Jesus could stand and say,
"I and my Father are one" and create in all of his followers the longing to be
one with the Father, so does the healer initiate the reception of the grace of
healing in the one to be healed.  Well said.  You become the manifestation
of the
actuality of that which is hoped for in potential.
	I have enjoyed your inquisitiveness today.  I appreciate your attention to
my address.  We have  a great adventure before us.  The Father has given all
that
we need.  May we always rest in the assurance of his providence and be
enthusiastic as we unfold for God discoveries as creatures and children in this
universe.  I will take my leave, farewell.
