Threads for New Transmissions / FORGIVENESS
« on: June 27, 2022, 01:50:52 am »

"Father forgive them for they know not what they do".  
Words uttered by Jesus whilst on the cross and words that have become
embedded in the minds of Christians the world over. As Jesus was able
to forgive them for such an atrocity why is it so difficult for the rest of us
to "forgive them who trespass against us", words from "The Lord´s Prayer",
given us by Jesus himself.

Nobody goes through life without suffering "the slings and arrows" that are
thrown at us from various quarters and they can cause deep and lasting
wounds. When you are hurt and offended by others, have you ever questioned
what is it in you that hurts and has been offended? Probably not, because most
people are not ready to face themselves with internal inquiries.

My friends, the answer is Ego. I capitalize it only to emphasize the fact that
it is only the ego that suffers these things because the soul has not yet attained
the maturity to control it. As you increase your spiritual knowledge through
experience, you will learn to recognize ego, control it, and it will serve you
as a loving devoted servant, should.

Those of you here on this discussion forum have traveled a long way on your
spiritual path and your souls have acquired a certain level of maturity so that
you do not have a problem with forgiveness, or do you?  Remember you are
not your ego. Ego has often been referred to as the false personality and
it grows from infancy, long before you receive a Thought Adjuster. It is 
through the influence of your T/A that the ego is finally "put in its place" and
it suffers no more.

Forgiveness flows from you, as it is the soul that forgives, and so with a 
mature soul, you are able to forgive all and everyone, including yourself.

Threads for New Transmissions / SUFFERING
« on: June 26, 2022, 02:19:42 am »

There are many forms of suffering but I will consider just one this morning.
Knowing that you have been the cause of someone´s suffering and that there is
nothing that you can do to alleviate it, can cause you to suffer in return.
Of course, there are those throughout history that have wreaked havoc and
pain on millions of innocents through wars and other turmoils.

Recently, the world has suffered and is still suffering the effects of the Covid
virus. There is the suffering of those who have been infected and died, more
than four million globally. There is also the great suffering of those who were
unable to say "goodbye" to their loved ones, due to the confinement, and this
has been so painful for them.

Life thrusts many changes upon us and we are left to come to terms with
them as best as possible. In general, we have proved to be stalwart and
adaptable, and with little choice to be anything else. The suffering that these
changes bring can also be the teachers of great lessons to be learned.

Being philosophical about suffering is one thing but being practical about it
is something else, especially when there is help at hand if only we can
remember to reach out for it. If you have been the cause of someone´s
suffering and you are suffering as a result, then turn to the One who can take
away your pain and also from the one you hurt.

You can involve your Indwelling in the everyday things of your life and when
you call upon Him, as you enter the stillness, the peace you seek will come
and each time you do this your faith and trust and love for Father will grow
to become your normal daily pleasure.

Threads for New Transmissions / "Yours truly"
« on: June 25, 2022, 02:03:06 am »
Do people still write letters these days? I guess so! It´s been some time since
I wrote a letter or wrote anything for that matter but I remember I used to
enjoy writing letters. I can even remember writing my first love letter to
a girl in my class in infant school. Her name was Anne and I asked her if
she would be my girlfriend but I cannot remember if she answered. It was 
during the war and I was about five years old.

We have all written many letters over the years and I am thinking of those 
times when I ended with the words, "Yours truly" and signed my name.
Do you remember doing the same? I expect you do!

There are so many things that we do and say without really thinking about
them. Was I being sincere when writing "Yours truly"? Of course not, never
gave it a second thought. Well, this is just one example of so many things
that we say. These are just normal expressions that are part and parcel of
our customs and we have grown up with them.

It is different now, is it not? Those of us who are consciously striving to
seek and do Father´s will. We have learned and experienced that words have
power and depending on how they are expressed can have positive or negative
results. 

Well, I endeavour always to be careful what I say, as I know from a lifetime
of experience that many times it is better to listen than to speak, after all,
we have two ears and just one mouth!  However, there are many occasions
when we can all sincerely say, "Yours truly" and that is when we become
fully aware of our relationship with Father.

Threads for New Transmissions / Can You Separate?
« on: June 24, 2022, 02:18:38 am »
Friday 24 June 2022

Can you separate people from what they do or say?
Can you always see them as brothers and sisters?
Can you recognize the spark in them that is also yours?
Can you see yourself in their shoes?
Can you feel the suffering that afflicts them?

If you can separate your fellow brothers and sisters from what
they do and say then you will never have cause to criticize or
judge them.

If you can separate yourself from all these and recognize that
what remains is a son or daughter of GOD, then it will be your
pleasure and joy to help others realize the same.

All roads lead to Rome, they say but there is another that leads
to Paradise and if you  have chosen this one, your ability to
separate things, one from the other, you will travel light and see
only the good and beautiful along the way.

Threads for New Transmissions / There Is Always Time
« on: June 23, 2022, 01:38:01 am »
Thursday 23 June 2022

There is always time for you to do those things that you really want to do.
The problem is, you think you do not have the time, and so you don´t.
If you have already convinced yourself that you will never have the time, 
you won´t.

Do you plan your day or do you allow the day to plan you?
Yes, think about that for a moment.
Many of you are locked into a daily routine because of your jobs and other
responsibilities but you should still have the time to attend to those other
things that please you. All work and no play make Jack a dull boy, so goes
the saying. It´s a question of priorities and it´s not always easy to arrange
them to fit in with the time available.

This is when you can turn inward to your Beloved who can help you with
this. Don´t think that your Indwelling is only interested in the profounds of
spirituality. Remember, being Pre-Personal, your Thought Adjuster can only
experience through you. When you find the time to go out and smell the roses,
He enjoys smelling them too.

So, stop thinking that you never have enough time to do those things that
you enjoy so much because you do. Just involve your T/A  more in your
daily activities and you will be amazed at the amount of new time you find.

Have a nice day, with Him.

Julio, your enthusiasm and concern for other nationals are commendable but
please stop filling up pages of translations that are not necessary.

Dear List,

               If you remember just a short while ago

when I poised the question: “Are we at war with

ourselves now?”

It is evident that you are, and it is greatly to be

regretted, because like all wars, they can be avoided,

and this one could have, and should have been avoided.

Dear Members, 
                          Since September of last year, I have transmitted 124 Subjects
from Calumnia and enjoyed every one of them but recently I have been guilty 
of inadvertently allowing my own experience to become a subject and not 
always that from Calumnia. It has been a great honour to have had such a
Teacher assigned to me.

I have sent a letter of my resignation to Ron as a transmitter and as a member
of the discussion Forum. It has been a pleasure to know you all and I shall
miss you, but I will continue being about Father´s business for as long as
I remain here.

It only remains for me to thank all of you for your friendship and I wish you
success in any and all of your endevours.

Lemuel

p.s. I will not host today´s LLUSA. (I did enjoy it!)

In many countries of the world, their traditions and customs quite often
include a form of asceticism. Those who participate deny themselves certain
pleasures for a period of time. It can be to abstain from certain foods or drink,
sexual relations, or anything else that is considered to benefit from such
denial.

Muslims celebrate Ramadan for thirty days, which is held each ninth month of
their year. Christians have a similar tradition that lasts for forty days and it is
called Lent.

The object of all forms of asceticism is to learn discipline by controlling the
desires of the physical body, in all its forms. Mind over matter is a well-known
objective but how many really accomplish this in their lives?

When you don´t eat for a while you begin to feel hunger, this is natural and
what you don´t want need to do is to think of your favourite meal. This is the
crux of the matter. What you think and what you feel. If you can control
your thoughts you can control your hunger.

Think about this. You are a smoker and you are out of cigarettes. You are
dying for a smoke and finally, you have to ask someone if they would give 
you one. You are lucky, you are given one, now the question, at that moment,
do you smoke that cigarette or does that cigarette smoke you?  When you sit
at the table and in front of you is your favourite meal, do you eat it or does
it eat you?  When you crash out on your sofa after a long day at work, do
you sit on it, or does it sit on you? The big question is, can you resist such
temptation when you need something so badly?

It is only by denying your body certain things that you are able to identify
the different causes of certain appetites. You will come to understand that
there are forces at work that bring to you such appetites.

There are Material, Vegetal, Animal, and Human forces that greatly influence
your appetites and that is the main reason why you need to identify which
one is operating at you at any given time, and when you have identified them
it is like you have flushed out an enemy and from that moment on you will
have greater success in controlling your habits.

To be continued.

Good day.

Do you remember your teenage years?  You may have been a big headache
for your parents who often found you lounging in an armchair, gazing into
space, and obviously contemplating another world. Do you remember the
dreams you had, and how you imagined them all coming true? Do you
remember how you felt at that time?  You felt wonderfully excited!
Ah, "those were the days", you may say.

Well, those days are long gone! Are your dreams long gone as well?
You know what they say; "if you haven´t got a dream how do you expect
them to come true"? Also; "if you haven´t got a dream, what have you got"?

Your thoughts have power. Your imagination can create wonders, you know
that, so how is it that your dreams haven´t come true? You create your own
reality, this you also know but it was a pity that you were not taught this when 
you were young. A dream is a wish that comes from the heart, that´s why you
feel excited when you let your imagination run free. There is no limit, only
that which you set for yourself. So perhaps it is time for you to dream again.

Remember, we had a recent subject in which we talked about it being never
too late. Well, it is never too late to dream, and although your present dreams
will be totally different from your youthful ones, nevertheless, they are just
as valued as ever. Can you put a price on a dream? No, of course, you can´t
because dreams are priceless. Then if dreams are priceless, how could you
have discarded such treasures you once had?

It is never too late for anything, unless you are dead, then indeed it is too late.
Until death overtakes you, you are free to dream again and to feel again that 
excitement welling up from deep inside that stirs you to the very core of 
your being.

Relive your forgotten dreams and see if this time they come true.
They can and they will if they are for your highest good and for the highest
good of all, and that is something you would truly wish for. Is it not?

Until next time.

Good day.

Threads for New Transmissions / ATTRACTION

You are all aware of the law of attraction, how like attracts like, and how you
are drawn to a certain person or a particular interest. You know the saying;
"Birds of a feather flock together". There are so many old sayings and
proverbs that people take for granted without really understanding all the
implications. Why are you attracted? What is it really that attracts you?
Is it just attraction to physical beauty, a beautiful sunset, moonlight on a lake?
Whatever the reason, there are two things at play here.

Something or someone draws you in. In other words, it is an outer attraction
that pulls at your feelings and you find yourself drawn to whatever it is.
On the other hand, you draw something or someone to you. In other words, 
it is an inner attraction. You instantly like what you see and you feel it.
You have all experienced a moment when your liking or disliking of a person
is instant, and simply because there was no attraction between you.

The Law of Attraction is universally recognized, especially regarding Light.
All of creation is attracted to light, and for a very simple reason. Without light,
there would be no creation. Your original attraction is to the Light of God, but
you were not aware of it until fairly recently. Are you fully aware of it now?
Father draws you into Himself via your Thought Adjuster. This is everyone´s
first attraction but they are not aware of it, how can they be when they are 
only children?

God is Light and you all have a spark of this same Light within. Therefore,
let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and
glorify your Father, which is in heaven.

Until next time.

Good day.

In all human edeavour, trust and confidence amongst those involved at all
levels are a must. There can be no successful outcome of any kind without
the trust and confidence of all parties. A betrayal of trust leaves one feeling
sick with sorrow and dissolution. Have you ever been betrayed by a friend?
Then you know how it feels and the saddest thing of all, is that the trust can
never be regained.

You wouldn´t refer to a betrayal in friendship as treason but in essence, it is
the same. Even within a family, members can often feel betrayed when 
something of a confidential nature has been relayed to all, and as in most
families, there is always the one who doesn´t seem to fit in with the others.
You have often heard it said that he or she is the "black sheep" of the family.
Whatever the reason for any and all forms of betrayal the results are the same,
feelings of desolation, despair, and deep sadness.

Imagine now, if you can, how can anyone betray their country, which really is
treason. It goes against the grain of the innate honesty and integrity of the
vast majority of the population. Yet what is it that can cause someone to be
a turncoat? There has always been lies and deception within the circles of 
those who have power and the ambition to achieve at all cost their desires,
and this is where the seeds of treachery are sown. This beautiful planet
Urantia has suffered the consequences of such treachery over many thousands
of years. Such can be the devastating results of treason.

You have all come to know your beloved Indwelling. You have faith and trust
in Him. It is He that has lovingly and faithfully led and guided you to where
you are now. Could you deny this? Could you betray his love for you?
Could you be a turncoat and deny His very existence? Could you, would you?
Of course not! Treason is not in you! Betrayal is not in you! Ever!

To love and to be loved in return is what makes your life worthwhile.
No matter the seemingly countless trials and tribulations you face in life, when
love rules your hearts there is never room for anything else.

Until next time.

Good day.

Date/Time: 7th March 2022  07:00 Local  06:00 Z

In general, people love music and even your Shakespeare suggested in 
Twelfth Night that, " If music be the food of love, play on". People love being
moved by music. The emotions that arise from within and surge up through
the heart can easily bring tears to the eyes. Just think of all the movies with
romantic music that you enjoyed in your younger years. The symphonies
of the great composers, operas with the most beautiful arias sung by 
internationally acclaimed artists are just some examples of music indeed,
being the food of love. It is through such feelings that one is inspired to give
thanks for such a beautiful art form that music is. Can you imagine life
without it?

Another type of music can inspire people to patriotism and nationalism and
can even further inspire them to wage war. The sound of fife and drum has
moved thousands of young to join the ranks and go to war. It is no secret that
sound waves enter your body and stir up the kind of emotions that move you
into action.  North American Indians had their dance rituals with drum beats.
African tribes have also used drums in their ritual dancing. The rhythmic
beating of the drum goes hand-in-hand with the need to move the body.

It is true to say that all sound has an effect and music is a quality of sound that
in general, people like.  The difference in style is a personal choice as to 
which one you prefer to listen to at any given moment. One is not always in
the mood for Beethoven´s 5th or a Chopin Nocturne but there is always
plenty to choose from. One thing is for sure, you all know the type of music
that you do not like and cannot support listening to for a moment.

One becomes much more discerning in all aspects of life as the years roll by
and your likes and dislikes can change like everything else, but your love and
appreciation for music is a constant source of joy and therefore Shakespeare
may have been right after all. "If music be the source of love, play on".

Until next time.

Good day.

Today´s subject is one of the most important because it deals with sound.
All sound has a source and dependant on that source is its quality.
It is true to say that your world suffers terribly from sound pollution.
Noise can be used as a form of torture, you all know that and it has been
used successfully by many nations, but the sound we are considering today
is the sound of Music.

Throughout human history, music has been recognized not only as pleasing to 
the ear but also for the smoothing of emotions. What is music for one may be  
cacophony for someone else, so we need to define what we mean by music.
Music is balm for the soul. An art, like all true art, touches your soul and can
open up your supple energy centers. There is no question about this. 
The great master composers of the past have all been inspired from above and
that is why "good" music touches your soul and feelings more than any other
because of its spiritual content.

You all know what is referred to as classical music but there is also a plethora
of other styles that are pleasing to some and not to others. It is not my
intention to make any suggestion as to what is good or bad music, but it is
quite obvious that the listeners decide for themselves which style they prefer.

Most of you here on the Forum have grown up in a society that had such a
plethora of styles of music for you to enjoy or reject and it is interesting to
note that the majority prefer the classics. Why do you suppose this is?

To be continued.

Good Day.
