Be in the now. Desire is wanting to be happytomorrow. Be happy and joyful now. - Sri Sri Ravi Shankar +++
Cedomil Vugrincic M.D., Ph.D. (SUPERHUMAN MINISTRY Service Sector) DATE: January 30, 2014 LOCATION: LIGHT LINE T/R: Gerdean
O’Dell TEACHER: MERIUM & Midwayer JACK TOPICS: (1) Adaptation;
(2) Q&A on Adam & Eve’s offspring leaving Prayer: Father
God and Mother Spirit, thank you for setting aside the chaos so that we can find clarity in this moment, in this extended
moment, this Stillness, at which you are at the heart. Thank you so much for the peace that you bring to our lives, the clarity
that you bring to our minds, and how much you help us in the efforts to communicate with each other in this material world. Thank
you, too, for opening up this new dimension of communication, where we can depend more on our morontia reality, on our soul’s
understanding, where we still feel heard. Thank you for the teachers that you will send to address our specific needs. And
thank you for being with us, to watch over our integrity. Amen. MERIUM: My
dear children, this is Teacher Merium. I have by-passed our liaison midwayer. He is around and may come in before the evening
is over but I have wanted to get the floor for some time. I wanted to talk to you about adaptations, just to reintroduce to
you the idea of adaptation, since it is so important that you learn to adapt. Indeed, you will be forever adapting to other
circumstances and personalities in and throughout your eternal career. Adaptation is essential to master and re-master as
time goes by. It is a particularly poignant lesson because of the isolation that you have experienced.
Your sense of isolation is so great; your adaptations have remained very rudimentary, very individualized. Truth is, you don’t
adapt well at all. Your independence is inbred. The first adjutant is kept busy with your instinct to survive, which in many
cases consumes a huge percentage of your consciousness and I must say, it isn’t even a conscious part of your consciousness,
but a sub-part of your consciousness so you aren’t even aware of how much you do to stay alive and be on top of the
situation, whatever that situation may be, however it is you may conceive it. Therefore, adapting to one other person becomes
important. And the ability to get along with three or four others is almost a phenomenon. Even those of you
who have something in common that would draw you together are often only kept together for a short time because of the nature
of your needs – that is to say a lot of quick, short lessons are in some ways more effective than long, enduring sieges
of that one same lesson. (Let me not get too tangled up in verbiage.) Adaptation
is something that goes on also between sectors, social sectors. When you find yourself a fan of a particular ball team because
you live in that town, and then move to another town, to some extent you need to adapt to the new circumstances of the new
home team. These have to do with loyalties, of course, these layers of adaptation, and that is one reason they take
so long. Once you have developed a loyalty to something, in order for it to be meaningful, you have adapted. Yes,
you have to unlearn much of what you learned in order to adapt to the new circumstances. This
brings to mind a picture of Mohammad Ali in the ring, dancing, being quick on his feet. Those of you who are quick on your
feet can adapt more readily. When you are quick in your mind you adapt more readily as well to the philosophies or politics
of new and different situations. The fact is, you will be adapting endlessly and it is important that you
allow for this endless parade of change to take place with your approval and cooperation. It is good to have the courage of
your convictions -- and when two people agreed on such convictions, there is cause for rejoicing indeed -- but for the most
part everyone has his or her own thoughts and perspectives and preferences and beliefs and they are unlike anyone else’s,
and so in the end everyone must adapt. That’s all I will say on that today. Perhaps we can talk about how
to move this mass of mental momentum in meaningful ways, in order to accomplish something, but that can be done some other
time. I have not had a chance to practice my teaching skills for some time and so I felt it important to exercise
my gifts and I appreciate your tolerance of my experience. I am going to give this back to
Jack to emcee. I look forward to seeing you soon. Thank you. Bye-bye! 0802-AB JACK here. I wanted to mention, on Merium’s behalf, that she is a young but experienced
teacher with the Teacher Corps, having established her identity among the mortals of the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Teaching
Mission group back in 1995 or 96. She also asks me to say that she wants you to know she feels she is a construct,
that there is much more to her than what you perceive, and although she is responsible for much of what you perceive about
her, it doesn’t matter so much as the relationship we have and even more importantly the fruits of our co-creative efforts. She
likes to call herself a baby-sitter, but she is unlike any babysitter I ever knew. (Of course, I didn’t have any babysitter
and I got into quite a bit of trouble, so I am no example to follow.) There has been a question
submitted from “the outside.” It has to do with the sons and daughters of Adam and Eve who left after the default. The
querant asks: “I'm trying to understand why Adam and Eve's children were given
the option to stay on Urantia or be transported to Edentia. Why did they decide to make it worse for our planet by taking
all the violet children? Why were some of their children given the option and we (the red headed step children, LOL!) left
here to suffer the consequences? “I
can see now why it's called ‘original sin’ and how that sin transferred onto us. We are being made to play it
out while the violet children who could have uplifted our bloodlines were transferred out of here. Why is this!!?? “It seems like they should have left everyone on
the planet to make the best of it. By taking over ¾ of the violet blood, they just made
it more “tragic” for us who are left behind. [Reference UB 75:6.3 and 75: 6.4] There is so much to be said about this question, but I am curious about the nature of
this question. Who is the focus here? Trying
to understand why Adam and Eve’s children were given the option to stay or be transported to Edentia. Everyone
has free will. They were born into a paradigm of free will choice. They were not dragged away kicking and screaming,
and yet the question seems to think they were taken. Why
did they decide to make it worse for our planet by taking all the violet children? Well,
they didn’t take all the violet children, only those who opted to go. Why were some of them given the option? Because they were old enough to make
a choice. Those who were not given the option were too young; they were still young enough to be in the charge of their parents. And why were we left here to suffer the consequences? Well,
this really goes to the heart of the question. Are we seeing a little jealousy, a little envy, a little sibling
rivalry? ‘Why do you get to do this and I can’t?’ There is that element in it. You perhaps need to put yourself in a position of being one of these adult children of our Material
Son and Daughter, to see how they may have considered. Let’s see if we can draw a parallel. You come from a large family; you have the option to attend college in a distant city or stay
at home and help your parents with your younger brothers and sisters, and the countless foster children they take in. You
can do either one. Having already been elder children in the family, having already helped your parents raise your brothers
and sisters and worked around the house for many years already, why would you not want to pursue your opportunities? The circumstances
were not ideal, and yet what parent doesn’t want to see their children aspire to and attain the best possible education
and life experience? Perhaps they thought that’s what their parents would wish for them. There is certainly no shame
in the choice they made, even though even now they wait to find out their destiny – busy no doubt, but certainly not
doing anything special, certainly not more special than the work you are doing. Your arena is far more fascinating …
I have no doubt. The opportunities and options to serve here are infinitely greater than where they are, and certainly more
adventurous. It was not ¾ that left. It was a goodly portion,
but you were not left without an infusion of Adamic blood. It did help. It could have been so much worse. I won’t even
take the time to ponder the many ways it could be worse but I have no doubt, given the nature of the mortals I have known,
endless are the possibilities of mischief-making, and it was very unstable times in which they lived. Perhaps they didn’t
feel up to the challenge of relocating and building a new garden from scratch. I am sure each one of them had their own reasons
but I expect they had their communal reasons as well -- those that might come from adaptation. What did they want to adapt
to? Having the option, wouldn’t most children opt for the advantage
as they saw it? Won’t you opt for the advantage when you see it? Don’t you think it is a gift when that option
arises and you are free to take it? Don’t you in fact rejoice and thank God for his goodness that would give you such
a wonderful opportunity? There will always be challenges on this planet, as there are
challenges on all the evolving worlds, and while the challenges you face may be unique, there are those who would argue they
are not that much more difficult, at least Michael has every confidence in your ability to pull through as efficient and effective
kingdom-builders. I understand, due to those pesky technological problems, we
are cut short in our agenda this evening, and so I won’t talk any more about why Adam and Eve’s children left
for Edentia as compared to those who opted to stay. I will open, in fact, time for a question should there be one
before we sign off. Remember to press star 6 to open the channel so that your question may be heard and recorded and responded
to. Go for it. Gary: One question
I had was, didn’t Adamson’s wife, his first wife in the Garden, didn’t she opt to leave us also? Would
that be a good reason? When her children left? To go with them? JACK: That will be your homework assignment.* No fun, I know, but it’s just too interesting to not know
something about it. Every time I read your records I get more and more confused. I heard it this way or I saw it
this way and now I read it and it may not be what I remember, which is not to say I am right and it is wrong but … only
the Father knows the true story and all the details. All the rest of it is an attempt to put together the pieces. Hold on
to the history that we remember, even as one of the options is that you can rewrite your history every few generations as
you see fit. Gary: Yeah, that
seems to be done quite a bit. An example is the cave in Greece, they discovered a skull that they say dated back to 700,000
years ago. [Inaudible] they sealed the cave up so that it was actually 300,000 years ago. JACK: 700,000 is probably closer to the truth. Gary: They just didn’t want to admit that
they were wrong? JACK: They have not reached the point where they are willing to adapt. They are still holding fast
to what they believe. All right then, kids. What are we going to do next week? Back here? Same time; same station?** Tom: Yep. Gary: Thanks, Jack JACK: Thanks for
coming. Later! +++
