Global Community Communications Alliance: Member Profiles—Miesen

Global Community Communications Alliance Member Profile

Miesen

Miesen

I became a member of Global Community Communications Alliance (ACC) in October of 1993. By the grace of God I am still here. I am a fourth-order starseed from Avalon, and at times it seems I am slow to change. In this life my experience has usually been that for me to make a needed change, life circumstances had to become too painful to for me to continue in my present behavior, thought, or circumstance.

The URANTIA Book states:

"Tradition is a safe refuge and an easy path for those fearful and halfhearted souls who instinctively shun the spirit struggles and mental uncertainties associated with those faith voyagers of daring adventure out upon the high seas of unexplored truth in search for the farther shores of spiritual realities as they may be discovered by the progressive human mind and experienced by the evolving human soul." (p. 1729:06)


Spirit struggles and mental uncertainties held no attraction for me, and I didn't connect either condition to the concept of finding God. I thought I had already found him. I had a comfortable life. I had success as the world defines it. I had successive careers as a social worker, teacher, school counselor, and community mental health therapist. I had respect, prestige, possessions, and money. I loved my work, my children, my wife, my friends and was in turn loved appreciated by many in my rural community.

IT WASN'T ENOUGH!

I wasn't sure what was missing. I was only sure that something was missing, and I was determined to find out what it was, and where to find it. I read book after book, attended conferences and workshops. I ate mushrooms and took LSD. I smoked pot. I asked questions, looking for answers, looking for the truth that would bring peace and contentment. I never found it. It was not there, not in books, drugs, lectures or gurus.

What I discovered was that I really didn't know God. I didn't know Jesus Christ Michael. I knew of them. I knew about them, but I didn't know them experientially, not with the depth of relationship that I desired. This is the lesson I am learning at Global Community Communications Alliance Community (ACC). I sincerely desire to know God and Christ Michael. So do all my brothers and sisters here. So do the elders, and the founders and leaders of our religious order, Gabriel of Urantia and Niánn Emerson Chase. Each person is striving for greater depth of relationship with Christ Michael, and with one another, and with all our brothers and sisters on the planet.

What I have learned from eldership is that I can have these deeper and deeper relationships, but on one condition: I can only acquire them on God's terms, not on mine. I cannot simply live my life for God. I must live God's life for me. I must make the godly choice in each thought and each decision, one at a time.

With ACC I have in Gabriel of Urantia and Niánn Emerson Chase the leadership, wisdom, and spiritual authority. Together they hold the Mandate of the Bright and Morning Star, which qualifies them to receive information from celestial personalities which they share (as appropriate to individual ascension status) with us and with the world in The Cosmic Family volumes.

Through ACC eldership structure we are blessed with teachers, counselors, and mentors to assist us in decision making, or with answers to questions, when individually we are having difficulty hearing from our angels of enlightenment, the Spirit of Truth, or our Thought Adjuster (the Fragment of God the Father). What a wonderful gift to any fallen fourth order starseed with enough humility to seek a higher response than he or she could by themselves make in that moment.

Here we are a cosmic family, a union of souls committed to helping each other ascend. We love, support and confront one another. We serve each other, helping each to fulfill his or her unique destiny in God.

All of this we do imperfectly, yet we strive to achieve God's admonition: "Be ye perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect." We are committed to changing ourselves and thereby offering the world a higher model for living. By changing ourselves we change the world one person at a time. Look at the historical record of change brought about by a single, committed individual: Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, Francis, Ghandi, Martin Luther King, John Kennedy. "With God, all things are possible!" These men were not content to live lives of ease and selfish contentment; neither are we at ACC. Changing oneself to conform to the perfect will of God is not easy and often not comfortable, but the goal of bringing Divine Administration to our planet is worth the effort. What greater achievement or higher personal satisfaction could this fallen planet offer to anyone?

Spirit winds caress
Living waters o'erflow me
Sculpting granite self.

Addendum—March 22, 2005

In my personal transmission it states," You knew and walked with Jesus. He said to you, 'Greater things you will do than I have done.'" I think that many fourth-order starseed were repersonalized in the first century. This gift of life in the first century, and in the proximity of the Master where we could know Him personally in some cases, and know of Him and His teachings and ministry in many other cases, was bestowed on us so that we might have an unprecedented opportunity to come out of the Luciferic thought and resulting rebellion in which we had been entrapped in many previous repersonalizations.

Coming out of that rebellious thinking is a long and painful process for me. Facing the "dark night of the soul" and realizing how many ungodly patterns I have is intensely uncomfortable. Doing the personal work required to actually change even one of them is infinitely more difficult as well as excruciatingly slow. Striving on the one hand to be in the perfect will of God, and recognizing on the other hand how far I am from being that vessel that God needs and wants me to be so that I can truly serve humanity in this time of crises, is a very humbling experience. Learning humility is a whole other adventure.

Coming to the realization that God loves me and forgives me even when I have been unable to forgive myself, encourages me to keep moving forward. Without a doubt, I'm sure that this community and this work is exactly what my God wants me to put my life and energy into. By the grace of God, I will continue to face the challenges and opportunities for accelerated spiritual growth that I am so lovingly provided daily here at our Planetary Sacred Home.

The Failure's Prayer

No matter hominy
Times i
Fail on my face
And fall thee,
Help. Get me
Back in the race.
Guide my steps
Through eternity.

Yours,
Miesen
