We Need the Sabbath  -  March 3, 2006

 

Spirit	Are you ready to go then
Scribe	Yes I am my Spirit
Spiritual Eye	And so the Scribe and her Spirit Ride the Arc of Light to Terra And are greeted there by the Great Lord Jesus Christ And the Archangel Michael Hugs are exchanged all around And then the Scribe and her Spirit Are led to the campground
Spirit	What do they see
Spiritual Eye	The campground seems to be in disarray As though a storm had swept by And all are about restoring order They are weary from their task And the Lord Jesus Christ claps his hand And all stand up straight and look at him All are of course quiet
Spirit	And what does the Lord say Listen for you can hear as well as you see What does the Lord say
Lord Jesus Christ	My children Let us take a rest from this work And let us go on a tour of Terra!   Yes there is much I want to show you Much that is new Come follow me now
Spirit	And now what do they do
Spiritual Eye	And the Lord leads Everyone follows him single file And Archangel Michael is last in line And they walk inland Like before, they walk away from the seashore And in toward Terra
Spirit	Good, remain with them
Spiritual Eye	And this is strange We are again at the sunlit field of grass We had been at before   I had expected something new
Lord Jesus Christ	My children look, look around you Look in front of you Look at what is underneath your feet   Tell me my children what do you see
Spiritual Eye	And everyone stares blankly and dumbly around Why it’s the same sunlit field of grass Yes there is the forest on either side Yes there is the seashore behind us Yes there is an embankment before us We have seen all this already What is the Lord referring to?
Spirit	And what happens next
Spiritual Eye	A Way-Shower dares to respond
Way-Shower	My Lord, we are seeing the sunlit field of grass That will greet the people Disembarking from the ships from Earth
Lord Jesus Christ	Excellent response! For do you know what you have just said
Way-Shower	Nothing of significance that I am aware of my Lord
Lord Jesus Christ	Why it’s in your very words The very words you used   The sunlit field of grass that will greet the people   You unconsciously, instinctively chose the correct answer For you see, Terra herself will greet the new arrivals   And what had you previously learned my children
Way-Shower	That Terra has consciousness That Terra is a sentient being, alive And more evolved than we
Lord Jesus Christ	And my dear children Does it not follow That a sentient being Alive and more evolved than humans are Is able to communicate herself Yes is able to make herself known Her presence felt   For even should no human be on Terra To greet the first of the arrivals   Terra herself would greet them And yes they would sense her greeting The more spiritually awake of them The more spiritually sensitive of them Would hear her   And hear her they shall   They shall feel her welcome in the soft breeze That caresses their faces   They shall feel her welcome in the soft sunlight That smiles upon them   And yes even the blades of grass will sing in joy At their arrival   And the sensitive and the aware Will pick up on the welcome that they are receiving   Even the not so sensitive Will perceive Terra to have ‘good vibes’ As you on Earth say   Yes indeed Terra has good vibrations And the arriving Earthlings shall have no choice But to feel these good vibrations   No choice but to feel welcome No choice but to feel that they have indeed come home
Spirit	And now what happens
Way-Shower	My Lord, forgive me We had sensed Terra as a sentient being Alive and more evolved than we On our first exploration of the planet   But now we do not perceive anything out of the ordinary Other than that she is more radiantly beautiful than Earth Much more   Why my Lord are we not picking up On Terra’s vibrations
Lord Jesus Christ	Several reasons   One – you are used to them You now take them for granted Just as you have become used to The radiant beauty that surrounds you This beauty that made you stop in breathless wonder When you first arrived You hardly even see anymore It is a given You take it for granted Like the air that you breathe You expect it to be there And would notice it only in its absence   Two – you have become too engrossed in your work And you have lost touch with your home You have forgotten to remain in touch with Terra   Why my dear children do you think She sent such a strong wind last night So strong that it disrupted our campsite   Learn my children learn Learn to read Terra Learn to discern her messages   She spoke to you last night And what my dear children Did she say
Way-Shower	That we are neglecting her?
Lord Jesus Christ	That is one possibility Think again
Way-Shower	That we have, as you have said my Lord Become too engrossed in our work And needed to take time out Needed to take a breather Yes needed a Sabbath
Lord Jesus Christ	All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy It also makes Jack lose his freshness, his enthusiasm And yes he becomes so engrossed in the details And in the work, the work, the work That he even forgets the purpose of the work The reason that he is working And for whom he is working   And my children You have been listless lately Things have become a chore You have been doing out of duty instead out of passion   And my dear ones That is simply not allowed on Terra   Tell me my children What is one of God’s commandments that applies here
Way-Shower	Honor the Sabbath and keep it holy For it is the day of the Lord thy God
Lord Jesus Christ	Precisely so And know my dear sweet children That this commandment is given as a gift to you No, it is not a burden, a restriction, an oppression No!  No!  No!   This command is a gift to you A day in each 7 that you take time away from your labors Time to refresh and renew yourselves   Yes time for rest and recreation Yes time to touch base with your God, your Father Yes time to touch base with your home, your Mother Time my dear ones For you to restore yourselves to yourselves Time to recreate yourself anew   And do not tell me that the matter is too urgent That things are in a crisis And in such a crisis there is no room for the Sabbath   On the contrary my dear ones It is in these such times That one needs to observe the Sabbath More closely than ever For you see, it is in these such times That one needs the Sabbath more so than ever   One needs the Sabbath One needs the Sabbath One needs the Sabbath   Yes one needs the Sabbath   For it is in observing the Sabbath That you will discover anew Your initial joy and wonderment At your new home   It is in observing the Sabbath That you remain in touch, yes in intimate conversation With your heavenly Father   It is in observing the Sabbath That you are restored to yourself   And then my dear ones Then my dear ones And only then my dear ones Do you return to your duties Yes after the completion of the Sabbath Do you then return to your duties   Restored and refreshed are you With fresh eyes that see the wonder all around you, are you With hearts full of the Father’s love are you   You will, by observing the Sabbath Have time to get your head out of the minutiae That you were buried in And yes with head held high You look about you You see far and you see wide You see the long view You see the purpose ahead You see the progress you have made You see the work remaining You see if you are progressing correctly toward your goal Or if adjustment is needed You see, you see, you see   With your head held high, you see   And my dear ones I would that you learn to read Terra Understand the messages that she sends your way   No, it was no mere work of nature That disturbed our campsite Last night   Terra was giving us a message She has seen us become engrossed in our work She has seen how seriously we have been taking ourselves Too seriously She has seen us work ceaselessly And she has seen the joy and the light in our eyes dim   And in her love She has tossed our campsite upside down and inside out So that we have no choice But to take a break from our routine So that we have no choice but get out of our rut   And if we are sensitive and if we listen We hear her message We hear her message We hear her message   And what my dear children Is the message
Way-Shower	My Father, you have told us the message is For us to observe the Sabbath one day out of 7 And that we are to enjoy the Sabbath To get ourselves back in touch with God our Father To get ourselves back in touch with Terra our Mother And to get ourselves back in touch with ourselves   And yes having been so restored We can review our week’s work We can remember our original goals We can remember our original purpose And we can remember what it is we are working for And why And we can look at the how of what we are doing Are we progressing in a straight line toward our goal   Or have we in our shortsightedness With our heads buried in minutiae, lost track of the goal And have gotten sidetracked by some irrelevant factor   We can look Father at the larger picture And yes Father regain our initial enthusiasm Both for Terra and for the work we are doing In preparing for our fellow Earthlings’ arrival   This my Father is what you have told us Terra’s message is
Lord Jesus Christ	And my child is this message burdensome Is it restrictive Do you chafe at the apparent limitations
Way-Shower	No my Father For we sense that you are right, yes that Terra is right   We had become too engrossed in our work Yes, forgive us, it had become a chore Yes, forgive us, we have failed to notice The beauty and the glory that surrounds us Such beauty and such glory That it left us speechless on our arrival Now we no longer even see Let alone enjoy   My Father, my Father You are correct Terra is correct   We need the Sabbath We need the Sabbath We need the Sabbath
