Topic:  CONCENTRIC CIRCLES

FEBRUARY 17, 1992

(On the Urantia Book cover - are three concentric circles, each inside of the other.)

THE LIGHT OF GOD SURROUNDS US. THE LOVE OF GOD ENFOLDS US. THE POWER OF GOD PROTECTS US. THE PRESENCE OF GOD WATCHES OVER US. WHERE EVER WE ARE HE IS.

The understanding of the three concentric circles is of course multi-leveled, and deals with: 1) The symbolization of concepts of the Infinity, or limitlessness of the presence of God the Father. 2) Eternity, a word form which express timelessness - the self-existent Father with the proposition of never beginning, never ending, that each of these circles represent this concept. 3) The third and final expression, is, the ever presentness of God the Father.

Taken together, one recognizes that throughout the vast universes there is no dimension of time or space that you may be in, that with the visualization of these concentric circles will not remind and assure you of His presence. Thus, the last phrase of the prayer, wherever we are, He is', applies in the most broadest sense to this world experience, as well as your entire ascendant career.

This should be a great comfort for you and those with whom you associate, those who are within your everyday immediate presence or throughout the Brotherhood of the planet Urantia. Your departed brothers and sisters who have traversed this plane are likewise always in the presence of God. END

FEBRUARY 24, 1992 LOYALTY HAM

Loyalty is a sacred, blessed virtue. Our personal loyalties are the highest expression of self-worth. In personal relationships our loyalties are paramount and precious gifts. The innermost soul is exhibiting its highest and most profound beliefs. Our first and foremost loyalty - duty, is to our Heavenly Father, who demands in love, our first allegiance. God gives of himself in all creation. He has sent His perfect Spirit to indwell the mortal mind. How loyal is this? How profoundly loyal to His creatures is He? How can we exhibit a lesser loyalty than full, personal, worshipful, complete, wholehearted and consecrated loyalty? Our Father/God, is love. He is also the most consecrated, divine and complete Parent.

Who has a child that they are not completely loyal to? This word is inadequate for my complete expression, but in necessity we use it. In human life loyalty can express a lower form of consecrated duty in you. This loyalty which I mean to express is supreme. For each person this loyalty - to follow ones own inner spirit, must be supreme over all else.

Blessed is he who walks in his own light. Yes, for the light which I ma y help you discover within is already there. I am but a helper - teacher, to help you to discover your own inner loyalties,' your own inner truths,' however this may be expressed. This concept/reality has an ever increasing truth within each of you.

As a child, loyalties are learned in childhood relationships which have relatively simple meanings. As we grow through our mortal experience, loyalty becomes related to our understanding of the fundamental concept, which involves the Fatherhood of the Universal Father and our relationship to one another as spiritual brothers and sisters.

Consider the idea/command of the Son of Man, in which He asks that you love your enemy.' Recognize even in this adverse mortal experience that the enemy is still your brother. This requires a new level of understanding loyalty.

Ponder this lesson, asking yourself is this loyalty?'
