Teacher
Hezekiah.
Subject: “Being Considerate.”
Received by Valdir Soares.
Hezekiah “Being
considerate to others is a spiritual principle that allows us to practice selflessness. It is important for the individual
to adequately love him- or herself. As for receiving love, it is enough for you to know that no matter your circumstances,
you are loved by the Father of All far beyond the maximum of your capacity to experience His love. Therefore, by being unconcerned
about your being loved, you are free to concentrate on loving others. One specific way of showing your love to others is by
being considerate to fellow human beings, and by genuinely promoting their well-being, rather than your own welfare.
“On
this issue, let us first define what is meant by genuine consideration for others. As a starting point, consider the olden
Commandment: ‘Love your neighbor as you love yourself.’ Our Master, Christ Michael, when on Urantia, recognized
the value of this principle, but he accentuated its significance when referring to our love for others. According to Him,
to love others as you love yourself is good; but, knowing that our love for our selves is indeed imperfect, he said: ‘Love
one another as I loved you.’ He thereby put his unconditional, perfect love as the supreme reference for our love for
our neighbors.
“There is a difference between the consideration we give others and the consideration we give
ourselves. Could you be so considerate to others that you forget to consider yourself? Logically, you must consider yourself
so you can adequately be considerate of others. Remember, humility does not mean neglect of your person in order to serve
others, rather it means taking good care of yourself so you can likewise take good care of others. The help you can offer
others would clearly be compromised if you yourself would need more help.
“Being considerate to others entails
‘two parts and one connection’. The parts are You and the Other; the connection is the Service. If the purpose
in this relationship is the aggrandizing of any Self, be it either for your vainglory or for the other’s adulation,
surely that would be a bad relationship, because neither should be concerned with its own aggrandizement. When you are concerned
with the self you waste energy that should be employed in service. Focus on service will result in satisfaction for you and
real help to the other. Put the self aside. Concentrate on service. Show real consideration.
“So, my dear, one
must find the equilibrium between caring for oneself and caring for others. The self does not need aggrandizement; your soul
needs to be spiritually nourished, just like your physical body. However the aim of this nourishment should be that of being
able to help others. Ministry, not aggrandizement should be your goal. Help others grow and you will likewise grow in the
process. Your life has meaning when it becomes meaningful to others, because love attracts love. I am Hezekiah, your Teacher
also. Ponder these words and let them be true in you. Peace to all.” © The 11:11 Progress Group.

Wake up Call: Sananda April 24, 13
I am Sananda here this day to speak with you through this one. It is a time of coming together
and renewing resources that are very much always in our midst. It is a matter of bringing
it all together in an intermeshing of love and understanding of what is taking place in our energies these days.
As I speak, so too do you, and in that speaking
forth you attract the essences of which you speak. It is a matter of being in the now and addressing that, which is in your
face in the now. When you are feeling as if you are overwhelmed by the circumstances that are in your face and all around
you, it is a matter of sitting back, taking a deep breath and bringing to mind something that is lovely, that brings you joy
at the thought of it, and stirs the wonderfully peaceful feelings that can then bring you into a state of bliss. This will
then allow you to flow forth in your life into the power that you have and the ability that can work miracles in your life.
These miracles are fast becoming everyday
occurrences that bring you glad tidings and feelings of peace and joy. In this loving state you can perform what you once
considered miracles and now realize are occurrences that you feel gratitude for in every moment. It is a matter of every moment
being a natural state in your life. Consider it to be the knowingness that is the Godliness in you. That, in itself is the
way of being of your trueness.
We are here to see you through this time of
your lives with the gratitude and joy that you are bringing into your lives. We are here to ride the waves of ascension with
you, as we have always been. To walk in the same shoes is to understand what it is that can bring you into the next moment
in the grandeur that you are experiencing. It may not feel that way for you at times, however, when that overwhelming feeling
comes along, in that next moment you can step into the real you and go forth in a way that is enriching not only to yourself,
but to all of existence.
Do you realize the power you have? Take a
look at what you accomplish in a day’s time. See the up and down rides that you take, and see what you have accomplished.
See them in the eyes of the non-judgmental observer. In that way you will see the power you are living, and your ability to
ride the waves that will take you ashore to the new place to which you are headed.
Though it may seem to some of you that you will be losing so much of what you love about earthlife,
stop a moment and realize that what you love need not leave you. It is something that you are recognizing as part of your growth and ability to create what you love. Was it something
that someone else brought to you? You are the bearer of your own gifts. Others are the ones who are part of the creation of
that which you gift yourselves with. Your original thought is that from which the creation begins. Even if it does not seem
as a gift at some point of its evolution you see that it surely has been.
I go now and watch as the moment arrives for me to come forth again in love for you all, the
expression of love that resonates throughout the land. You are such wonders to behold as you continue through this journey. We all are astounded by the leaps you are making, and
as we run at times to catch up with you in that journey, we see the gifts that are there for all of us to take benefit from.
We love, we find joy, and we experience peace along with you in every breath. Have a fun-filled and peaceful day, and we will
join you in all of it to ride the endless train of love throughout all of creation.
Thank you dear Sananda, Love, Nancy Tate
+++ Subject:
No. Idaho Team 2013-04-07Teacher: Charles, Light,
Jonathan, Michael T/R: Mark
Rogers, Cathy Morris
Charles: [Mark] Greetings to this group once again, I am Charles here
to offer a few thought patterns for consideration. After your discussion I would like to bring up the alternate perspective
about your consciousness, your level of awareness, your degree of attainment, your position in the scope of your ascension
career and I would like to point out to you that during this unique phase of your ascension career, this beginning point,
you have been reminded that this once in a career time opportunity is indeed quite limited, is indeed very short in perspective
with your eternal career that stretches out before you.
It is literally almost
a flash in the pan of your eternal career, this splash you make on the scene as you arrive as an individual and take your
place as one among the whole. In the strictest definition, you are composed of what amounts to an allocation of your resources,
your resources being your attention, your focus, the time that you allocate and donate to any one thought pattern or truth
or reality. You are in fact the sum total of repeated choosing to fill yourself up with either this or that; but you are in
a race against time and in fact have little of that in one life here on Urantia [and] to allocate your resources here during
this time can be seen as very limited and small.
Your time in a wakeful
conscious state is smaller than that, your time with focused attention is still even smaller than that. That is what makes
your directed and focused attention so incredibly valuable. It is in very short supply in this life, therefore it becomes
increasingly important to one who is in awareness of this truth to utilize every moment to its best effect, particularly every
moment of thoughtful consideration, of directed focus, of divine prayer. These are in short supply in such a life as a mortal
has on this world, therefore they should be cherished as the gems they are, they should be utilized to their highest extent
and they should be guarded against being wasted or channeled inappropriately or even destructively within your inner environment. This
composition that you make, your inner world, the sum total of all these allocations of yours, your limited resource, this
is what is to be cherished about such a life on such a planet, what it is you have managed to put in this treasure box, in
this data bank, in this carry on bag that you will take with you.
And so I invite you
all to see choices made in this new perspective of how precious they really are, what you will bring to your garden. Will
it flourish? Will it bring peace and joy and love, those things that you wish to plant and reap the fruits of? Will it be
compatible with all the rest of the truth contained and will such a choice be a help or an obstacle in the process? If you
start to look at things with this criteria of definition, then you will begin to fall easily and readily into the choices
of not devoting your resources to those things which don't serve you and reallocating your time and your energies to those
things which are greater, which are bigger, which are more divine with each and every choice. I offer you this perspective
this morning so that you can consider what it is and how much of it will you allocate your precious resource. That is for
your internal environment, but now let's move out into the real world.
The very same principles
hold true when in relationship to you and your relationship to all the others in your circle. Those in your sphere of awareness
are equally confronted with their allocation of resources and energies as you are and so to those who are in awareness of
the magnitude of these choices, it is incumbent upon you to bring the light into the equation, to show every aspect and dimension
with a different and higher light. It is not that you are trying to sugarcoat reality, or in denial of its existence when
it is substandard and inferior, but rather your acknowledgement of any such substandard aspect of being must be couched with
such a positive influence of your light that it is transformed. It becomes better just as it passes through your perception
of it and even in the dimmest of circumstances, you may present the glimmer of hope.
This represents a great
challenge, for as you have observed, you are surrounded and bombarded by negativity. It sells, it is popular because it grabs
ones emotion, it wrenches your attention. It literally steals from you your intention as you become sucked into the version
of truth that it would display. And while there may be these nefarious versions of truth that exist side by side, you who
are in awareness are aware enough to know that side by side with any such evil there is divine nature, divine pattern and
spiritual truth. And so, which one will influence the other? Which one will be the greater influence in your choices?
They exist side by side, parallel universes, goodness and what we would refer to as evil. This is the great opportunity before
all of us, is to choose a line that reflects our priorities, reflects our choices, our allocation of resources.
Thank you for allowing
me these words this morning. It's always a pleasure to come and enjoy the company of this group and attempt to offer perhaps
an enlarged perspective on the power of choice and choosing and the allocation of individual resources. I now step aside to
allow this floor for others, thank you.
Light: [Cathy] I have a symbol for the healing you discussed, a spotlight
shining down and encompassing the person needing healing. I have mentioned before that you can reflect and concentrate the
light for use in healing. The result is a beam like a spotlight concentrated in a small footprint around the person in trouble.
You only need to make the choice to focus the light, you have the capability and the power is provided by the system in place.
The request is all that is needed to begin the process. Love will be the guide to placement, it is only for you to begin the
process with your caring and intention. It is a limitless resource to be used abundantly. The results can be fantastic and
life changing for all involved. You are encouraged to proceed as guided. I am an enthusiastic participant with you in all
attempts. My connection with all in the group remains strong and useful. Let's go forward together.
Jonathan: [Mark] Good morning friends, Jonathan here to invite myself to the group and to the group activities. As we have just
heard from Light, I too am an enthusiastic participant. I have taken the liberties of inserting myself around your circle
and I feel as though I am welcome to do so, thank you. Truly, in my observation, this first mortal existence is so very
much like operating in the dark, groping around and trying to find what works, bumping into other realities and choose and
seeing if they fit or they are compatible or it feels right. This kind of fumbling around in the darkness of mortal existence
is such a unique opportunity because [in] this you are in the womb and unable to see the big picture and grasp for what is
around you to make sense of the environment.
One of the things that
you miss as a mortal of the realm are these very real and observable, to those with eyes of spirit, events which occur
as a result of your directed guidance and focusing of the light. It has been suggested here for purposes of your ability to
perceive it, that you visualize the beam of light from on high enveloping the individual and I am here to say that with the
eyes of spirit, indeed it appears as though a beam or a shaft of light. It is however, outside the sensory range of mortals
of the realm, but the fact that you are willing to engage, you are willing to believe in its existence, you are willing to
donate your valuable resources, you are willing to make the choice to exercise your faith to that degree, is what is important.
It is not so important to see the beam of light which actually encompasses your loved ones as it is to know of its existence
in your hearts and to believe it with all your being and to trust and have faith that it is so.
That is operating in
the dark and using the light. That is having mastery over this light and bringing it to those in need. Do not forget my friends,
that this light that you are gaining mastery over every day, is not strictly to be indulged in when there is distress. This
light is available to all, at all times, for all purposes and is appropriate in all circumstances. You may bring it in and
have it wash over a gathering of friends and uplift all those in that circle. You may access it on your drive to town, you
may guide and direct and focus it onto others or you may decide to take a bath in the light yourself all because you are willing
to believe and exercise in faith that this truth is so. That is the benefit of a life spent without the eyes of spirit and
developing those very aspects of perception within. You will have plenty of time in your career before you to have the eyes
of spirit and to see the wonders of divine pattern unfold before you, but in this life, your light, your perception of light,
your connection to the light must be established through sheer force of will and desire and faith.
This is your golden
opportunity, for when you arise, the eyes through which you will perceive your environment will ever be expanded and it will
be truly as if you have been born into a new reality. I love you all in this circle, I am one of you, merely on my side of
the veil. I am here because again, you exercise the faith that allows my presence. You have given me space in your consciousness
and I am grateful for that allocation of your individual resources. I join you in your projects of health and healing for
others and I expand them to include us all under the umbrella of the light. So be it, now and always. Thank you for the chance
to join you once again my dear ones. I now bid you all have a joyous week in celebration of your awareness, thank you, good
bye.
Michael: [Cathy] I want to hold you all in my light, each and every precious one of you. Please take to
heart the section read concerning the Father's will [UB 193: 0.3-4], it was my lifeline in all the dark circumstances of my
time on your world. If you are able to expand your vision to encompass living the Father's will, it will bring you forward
in spiritual growth and peace. I will bring you certainty as you grow into this way of being.

#4534 A Twice-Told Tale, April 24, 2013 God said: Always, without fail, I speak to each of you. That you may not hear Me whispering
to you is another story. That is a twice-told tale, and it is handed down from generation to generation. To some there is
nothing new that can be known. Yet there is the new, and the new will be placed before those who believe and those who do
not just the same. Favor the new. You might as well. It may well be that someone refutes Me. It may well be that those
who do not hear Me have the mindset that it is not possible to hear, and, in that case, they cannot hear. Whereas belief isn’t
everything by a long shot, nevertheless, not believing you can hear Me while you are a mortal being on Earth may ensure that
you don’t. It well may, yet, just the same, you can hear Me even over your idea that you cannot. There is no cannot
in Heaven. Think of all the matters that were once disbelieved in, and, yet, now are well ensconced in the world. You know,
the Earth is flat, man cannot fly, no one can ever break the swimming record, and then someone did, and more and more. Once
seen, what was once disbelieved, even scoffed at, becomes believed in and beloved. All the people nod their heads now. The
dial is set, and the whole world follows. Seeing is believing is not novel, yet it stays so. It has been said more than once.
Once you have seen for yourself, it makes sense to go along with the tide. And for those who cannot let go of old beliefs,
they are adamant and won’t or can’t budge, so great is attachment to the past. It’s as if some see letting
go as a sign of letting go too easily. Indeed, it would take force for some to let go of their fierce devotion to a stance
from yesteryear. Sometimes the past is a palliative. Sometimes when you believe in something and don’t know how
to let it go, something will occur that shakes you loose, and then you become a discoverer and then you have lifted your head,
yet new may also be replaced down the road. How do you know when you are being rigid, and how do you know when you are
letting down your barriers too easily as if you are mindlessly following the crowd, as if you have no character of your own?
How do you know when you are capitulating or when you are embracing a new arena of thought? How do you know anything? You
don’t know what tomorrow will bring. Nobody does. What can you predict? Not even the weather, so it seems. And,
yet, you are not meant to close your eyes. You are meant to see. Be in accord with Me now. Look to see Me. Come closer to
Me even when you don’t know what anything means. You are something. You ARE. And you are for something, not for nothing. Know
this, beloveds. The best is yet to come. That is inevitably the Truth. Yes, always We are getting closer to the Truth. Whether
eagerly or with fierce resistance, you will change some of your beliefs. Why not? Beliefs are beliefs. You are a believer
in something. A man can believe he is healed, and he is healed. A man can believe that he cannot be healed, and he cannot.
And then, thrown into the mix are those who believe they are healed and are not yet, and those who do not believe, and they
are healed. Life on Earth is a mix of many things. What do you believe that you must exclude from your life? And what
do you believe you can keep in? And what is so hard about changing where you happen to be right now? |
