Poetry in Motion Urantia Artist Paul Anderson | Meetings/Discussions/Conversations  

144:6.3 Andrew and Abner alternated in presiding over these joint meetings of the two apostolic groups. These men had many difficulties to discuss and numerous problems to solve. Again and again would they take their troubles to Jesus, only to hear him say: “I am concerned only with your personal and purely religious problems. I am the representative of the Father to the individual, not to the group. If you are in personal difficulty in your relations with God, come to me, and I will hear you and counsel you in the solution of your problem. But when you enter upon the co-ordination of divergent human interpretations of religious questions and upon the socialization of religion, you are destined to solve all such problems by your own decisions. Albeit, I am ever sympathetic and always interested, and when you arrive at your conclusions touching these matters of nonspiritual import, provided you are all agreed, then I pledge in advance my full approval and hearty co-operation. And now, in order to leave you unhampered in your deliberations, I am leaving you for two weeks. Be not anxious about me, for I will return to you. I will be about my Father’s business, for we have other realms besides this one.”

Meetings/Discussions/Conversations

Zoom meetings take up time today.

Outside, it’s raining, anyway.

I hope we have productive talks,

And our discussions help our flocks.

We represent the will of others,

And they are all our sisters/brothers.

We want what’s best for all concerned—

A process which we all will learn.

We will try to be involved,

So that issues get resolved.

If everybody wants what’s best,

Good ideas should pass this test.

Listening skills need be invoked,

And then with minds, we do devote,

Our energies in harmony.

Solutions then come, probably.

Sometimes a search is necessary.

There’re more questions we need query.

Time’s involved, to comprehend

All the details that impend.

I, with confidence, predict,

That our meeting will depict,

All the issues that portend,

Before our meeting comes to end.

Thank You, Mother/Father/Son.

The day has now more than begun.

Lots to do on this fine day,

And with Your help, we’ll find our way.

Paul Anderson
