This is Tarkas who speaks to you now. I come in place of [[Olfana]] because she is needed elsewhere at this time. You [[feel]] my [[energy]], S. You recognize the [[difference]] in our [[personalities]]. I too will attend this [[Teaching Mission]] conference in SLO [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Luis_Obispo,_California San Luis Obispo]. I will speak through you, and [[engage]] in a discussion of the [[responsibilities]] of all of you, as students and workers for [[the Father]]'s plan of [[redemption]] through Christ [[Michael]]. Your world greets a new day in it's [[evolutionary]] [[history]]. You stand on the verge of [[monumental]] [[change]]. [[Hearts]] filled with [[courage]] and [[trust]] are what we seek of you as our [[companions]] in this work. Let no one [[doubt]] the immensity of the [[power]] of change that can come to this world. I speak to you as one who has [[experienced]] the [[beauty]] of life on a world settled in God's [[Light and Life|love and light]]. I can give [[testimony]] to the [[nobility]] of this plan of redemption. Those who follow you in forthcoming [[generations]] will look back with deep [[gratitude]] to the work that you now do. You do this work for the [[generations]] to come. Let this be your [[perspective]], as you enter upon the tasks asked of you. More will be given concerning this conference when [[Olfana]] has had her own [[opportunity]] to speak with you. You are a dear student to me, S. Feel my [[affection]] for you, for T. You gather around you a group which has great [[potential]] for this work. Let yourselves feel [[gratitude]] for such an opportunity as has been presented to you. Allow yourselves time to [[grow]], and yet, recognize the urgency with which we seek your [[cooperation]]. Your [[heart]] is the best guide in determining your role in this work. [[Pray]] and seek God's [[guidance]] for direction. Never allow yourselves to feel your [[efforts]] are unaccounted or unappreciated. We see all that you do with [[gratitude]]. Do you wish to ask anything of me, T, or is this sufficient for now? I recognize your [[desire]] to watch the program you have [[discussed]].

T: Yes, there's one thing I've been [[struggling]] with recently, and I was [[wondering]] if you might not help with a lesson on [[patience]]. Do you have such a lesson?

T: Yes, there's one thing I've been [[struggling]] with recently, and I was [[wondering]] if you might not help with a lesson on [[patience]]. Do you have such a lesson?

T: I don't think it matters. We can just forget about the time constraints.

===='''''[[Patience]]'''''====

===='''''[[Patience]]'''''====

Tarkas: Then let us [[proceed]]. Patience is a [[virtue]] so desired by those of you who struggle with the [[difficulties]] of life. Patient [[actions]] are those which evoke a sense of [[relationship]] between you and those you wish to [[synchronize]] your [[efforts]] with. [[Imagine]] the image of those who work as a team [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sculling gliding those beautiful boats]...[racing sculls]...used by men at [[institutions]] such as Harvard where they have teams which row [[together]]. Imagine the development of [[patience]] and [[coordination]] which comes from such an [[effort]], working with your teammates to synchronize and coordinate the efforts that you make to move with the [[water]]. Patient [[actions]] are those which develop such a sense of [[consciousness]], that your [[efforts]], [[synchronized]] with those of others, will cause the entire activity to move with more [[quality]], synchronized effort, and power of the combined [[energy]] working in unison. There is a laying aside of one's own [[agenda]], or sense of timing in this [[effort]]. You become [[conscious]] of your role as a team member. This patient sense of activity also recognizes the efforts of those around you as [[coordinated]] with you. You see their desire to [[work]] with you, not making the [[judgment]] that they are the [[adversary]], to be somehow [[conquered]] or subjugated to your own sense of [[timing]].

Now consider [[patience]] from the broader [[perspective]] of God's [[timing]]. When you allow yourself to see that the best outworking of [[events]] comes with [[guidance]] from God, then you hold lightly to your [[plan]], your [[expectations]] of how things may go. It is not an [[abandonment]] of your schedule; it is merely an open-minded [[attitude]] that perhaps alterations to your timing schedule are [[the Father]]'s, and therefore, most welcome in the events of your [[life]]. Patience requires a [[gentleness]] in your [[attitude]], a willingness to allow for [[quiet]] moments of [[contemplation]]. This gives [[opportunities]] for your [[Thought Adjuster]] to speak to you, to impress you with an expanded [[perspective]] of how you [[perceive]] events. Then there is the patience you show to yourself. This can be a great [[challenge]] at times. We can be so harsh in our [[judgment]] of our own [[efforts]]. This is not of [[God]]. The angry, insistent [[voice]] saying, "This is not enough. This fails. This is inadequate." This is not God speaking within you, T. This voice comes from [[pain]], [[rejection]], the inability to see you in your full [[capacity]].

D: I'd like, maybe not so much a [[question]], but just to address some things I've been [[feeling]] lately and maybe seek some [[advice]]. At times, particularly the last couple of weeks, I feel so overwhelmed with the [[responsibilities]] of [[family]], and job, and I feel so tied down with that, when my truest [[desire]] is to do things more on a [[spiritual]] level. And yet I always keep getting pulled back, because I always have to keep doing these things, or I'm concerned about [[family]] members, or [[work]] situations, and stuff. I find myself, at times, just getting impatient, or wanting to just [[escape]] it all. You know, it's like overload! I have such a yearning in my [[heart]] for better things, but I just can't, I feel like I'm so bogged down with this other stuff.

Olfana: [laughs] D, You are an [[angel]] tethered to the [[earth]]! This is how it should be now. I see you reaching skyward, heavenward, so often in your [[life]]. But remember, those tethers hold you for a [[purpose]]! This daily work, [[drudgery]], that you [[feel]] at times, serves to [[strengthen]] your resolve because you must push through these [[responsibilities]] to go with those things your [[heart]] cherishes. Think of the [[integrity]] that builds in you, D, each time you choose what you consider to be sometimes disheartening or [[mundane]]. You are a servant of the Lord, in the very best sense. [[TR]] is overcome with strong [[emotions]], and fights the urge to [[cry]].] There is a [[nobility]], D, that you cannot yet [[comprehend]], but I [[promise]] you, you will indeed [[discover]] in your continued [[effort]] to serve those whom you sense have needs. Try to remember, as you move through your day, the [[image]] of yourself as an [[angel]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_elevator tethered], and recognize, [[trust]], there is a [[purpose]] in this. Be heartened! God loves you, D. Those you serve are nourished by your [[care]], and nothing that you do for God, no matter how [[simple]], no matter how small you may feel it is--nothing is unaccounted for. I [[hope]] my [[words]] give you [[encouragement]].

D: One of the [[frustrations]] I [[feel]] is working within a [[system]] that is so full of [[bureaucracy]], and so unethical at times. So, I feel caught up in this [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whirlwind whirlwind] that I don't really want a part of, and yet I have to earn a living. "I'm [[frustrated]]." seems very mild to use.

This evening , I would like to begin with a discussion of your participation in this MissionTeaching Missionparticipation in. How can each of you bring your creativity to this enterprise? This knowledge can be developed in many ways. We encourage you to read further in the transcripts. Many different perspectives can be discovered from seeing how the unique personalities of each teacher, each of the teachers, operates with those in their group. Your experience of this can become broad-based by seeing the variety of interactions that occur between students and teachers. Also, we ask you to look within your heart. Is this a path toward God that resonates for you emotionally? Does it excite you? Does it encourage you to reach out in ways that involve the extra effort which comes from something which excites us? Lessons from the teachersLessonsstudy of are of great value in this work. We encourage you most especially to take these lessons, study them, consider them as working texts which can develop new abilities for you in your daily experiences. Participation in this manner, with a teacher such as myself, is indeed stimulating and challenging. But, we ask you to recognize the value of studying the words that have been given also. I wish now to introduce TeachersJamesJamesJamesfirst contact with, if this is comfortable for you, B?

James: Hello. I am James. I am a personal teacher to Benjamin. I come here among you as a friend, and as a guest, and as a teacher. I'd like to say that it is always my pleasure to be able to communicate with you in this manner. It is a wonderful experience for me to be a part of these gatherings, and to be involved in these teachings, which are bringing such growth to so many lives, in spreading God's love in this planet. You, who are gathered here, who are the spiritual warriors in this great undertaking, are assisted and loved very much in your endeavors.

R: Okay. The question was, "Are there other spiritual [[beings]] here on earth who aren't with the [[Teaching Mission]]?"

James: Yes. There are other beings here who are working with mortals outside of the Teaching Mission. I am not at liberty to give much information regarding these activities, except to say that there is much truth imparted in many ways to those who are receptive to other types of leadings. Not everyone in this world is receptive to this type of contact. It is our hope that all efforts from all beings in this world will help to bring about this great change even faster and more beautifully.

Sl: James, I have a question. Or maybe Olfana can answer, if you can't. I was involved with a lady last week. She was communicating, and verifying, what I told her about The Urantia Book. Is she being used as a TR for communication through her handwriting abilities?

Is she being used as a [[TR]] for communication through her [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handwriting handwriting] abilities?

James: One moment...This is difficult to transmit, as you are speaking of someone in your memory. Can you describe this person more?

James: One moment...This is [[difficult]] to [[transmit]], as you are speaking of someone in your [[memory]]. Can you [[describe]] this person more?

Sl: This person's name is _________. She's been communicating for many years, fifteen, twenty years. She uses what I consider the "hot pen" process of communicating.

Sl: This person's name is _________. She's been [[communicating]] for many years, fifteen, twenty years. She uses what I consider the "hot pen" [[process]] of communicating.

James: Do you feel that there is truth in her transmissions?

James: Do you [[feel]] that there is [[truth]] in her transmissions?

Sl: She validated everything that I said to her about the Urantia Book, and she's not a Urantia Book reader. She's a reader Course in Miraclesrelationship to UBof The Course In Miracles. So it sounded to me like she was communicating at a level of understanding the Urantia BookUrantia Bookrelationship to ACIM. She said that the Urantia Book is also a book, like The Course In Miracles, but it wasn't for her now. That's what the writings said. And she said that she is also...the writings are from Christ Michael.

And she said that she is also...the writings are from Christ [[Michael]].

James: I am unable to verify the guidance that this particular person is receiving. But if you perceive the truth in what she says, in your own experience, and it resonates within you, as I believe you are telling me, then you can trust much of what she says in these cases, if that is what you are asking?

James: I am unable to verify the [[guidance]] that this particular [[person]] is receiving.

Sl: Yes, I am asking that. I'm trying to bring her into communicating with me, since she is real close to me, and if she is also, like you, B, communicating with James, maybe I can communicate at a closer interface, physically with me, instead of coming all the way up here. Not that I don't want to come up here, but, I believe this is happening all over. How do we interface with these new students that are just coming on board, and how do we bring them into the Teaching Mission?

Olfana: Please proceed James.

Olfana: Please [[proceed]] James.

James: I think you are asking two questions?

James: I think you are asking two [[questions]]?

Sl: Possibly.

Sl: Possibly.

James: Is one question, how you may communicate with teachers more easily yourself?

James: Is one question, how you may communicate with teachers more easily yourself?

James: Yes.

James: Yes.

Sl: And the second one is, going along like you said, the second question, is this person somebody that is communicating like yourself and S?

Sl: And the second one is, going along like you said, the second question, is this person somebody that is [[communicating]] like yourself and S?

James: Well, first, I would like to say for you that, in practicing stillnessStillness Practiceand Teachers, as I'm sure you have been instructed, through your involvement with the Teaching Mission, you may reach out to any teacherTeacherscontact through stillness practice whom you know, or for any guidance without having a particular name for this guidance. It is important that you already understand that you are in touch with this guidance, and that you need only believe in what you already know within you, to strengthen the connection you already have.

James: Well, first, I would like to say for you that, in [[practicing]] stillness, as I'm sure you have been instructed, through your involvement with the [[Teaching Mission]], you may reach out to any [[contact]] through [[stillness]] practice whom you know, or for any [[guidance]] without having a particular name for this guidance. It is important that you already [[understand]] that you are in [[touch]] with this [[guidance]], and that you need only [[believe]] in what you already know within you, to [[strengthen]] the connection you already have.

Sl: Agreed.

Sl: Agreed.

James: This is the most important form of interface with the teachers. This is what we delight in the most--are the individuals who call for us, in their quiet times, that we may be with you, minister to you, and share God's love with you, in those moments.

James: This is the most important form of [[interface]] with [[the teachers]]. This is what we delight in the most--are the [[individuals]] who call for us, in their [[quiet times]], that we may be with you, minister to you, and [[share]] [[God]]'s [[love]] with you, in those [[moments]].

Sl: This is the opening of the Energy Circuitscircuits from the adjudication of the Lucifer Rebellionadjudication ofLucifer rebellion, correct?

Sl: This is the opening of the [[circuits]] from the [[adjudication]] of the [[Lucifer Rebellion]] correct?

James: The circuits, and there are many circuits which are opening now, which have closed, which is making it much more possible for mortals on this planet to experience, than was possible before. Do you have more questions about this?

James: The [[circuits]], and there are many circuits which are opening now, which have closed, which is making it much more possible for [[mortals]] on [[this planet]] to [[experience]], than was possible before. Do you have more questions about this?

Sl: The other, second part of the double question about other individuals in my area. How do I basically ah...not bring them in, expose them like I am doing, at a level of nurturing them. But I'm already doing that, I believe.

Sl: The other, second part of the double question about other [[individuals]] in my area. How do I basically ah...not bring them in, [[expose]] them like I am doing, at a level of nurturing them. But I'm already doing that, I believe.

James: That is, you have answered your own question. What you are doing in your own life now is following the guidance which you are receiving, and reaching out to others, and finding the truth in those around you, and seeing God in the people, in your immediate existence. In this way you will attract others who are seeking the truth. This will unfold for you in a beautiful experience that will be new steps each day for you. It is not important to have specific instructions on how to approach people at this time. Except, to know that, you are seeking God's love, and wanting to share this journey with others. Does this assist you?

Sl: Yes. Does Olfana have anything to add?

Sl: Yes. Does Olfana have anything to add?

Olfana: I would say that the element of experimentation is important here, Sl. You need to "test the waters," as it were. Let others know you have an active interest in participating in this Mission. They will see the sincerity of your statements and decide for themselves if this is also their choice. You will be the best representative of this work by becoming a good student yourself. Continue to explore, as you have done so recently. Allow yourself time to grow with this, Sl. Nothing of true quality comes too quickly, in this life, as you well know. Therefore, take each day's experience and allow it to penetrate deeply in you. Let your doubts surface. This is appropriate. Examine all areas in which you have questions or concerns. When you have tempered your own belief in this Mission, through such efforts on your part, you will become a spokesperson of great credibility to others. This is my best advice to you at the moment. Do any others have questions?

This is appropriate. [[Examine]] all areas in which you have questions or concerns. When you have tempered your own [[belief]] in [[this Mission]], through such [[efforts]] on your part, you will become a [[spokesperson]] of great credibility to others. This is my best [[advice]] to you at the moment. Do any others have questions?

J: Olfana, I would like to ask a question, This is J talking.

J: My wife D, is, I feel, a highly-developed, very spiritual person, who is not a reader of The Urantia Book, but a follower of it, and I've read to her many passages of sayings. She professed an interest in this group. I was wondering if she could be accepted in this group in future meetings?

Olfana: I think this opportunity will indeed develop. I ask for your patience with this, because S wishes it. I, indeed, love meeting with all of you, and am perfectly willing to expand this group, as you all feel it is appropriate. This is where I say the co-creative atmosphere, environment, of our group resides. I am most willing to work with you in the ways that you request. This does not mean I do not follow an agenda of my own. But, I have much flexibility in my ability to work with you. Tell D that I encourage her also to explore information surrounding this Mission--the transcripts themselves, the paper you were given by Bob S. Let us enter into this with foreknowledge of the development of the Mission thus far. Have I addressed your request effectively?

J: Yes. I have another question. I went to the performance in San Francisco this weekend. I had my picture taken. It showed my aura, AuraJ's;which was almost all blue, with an outline of green at the top. When it was analyzed by the person there, she said that I was at an impasse in my life, right now. I was kind of being torn between two different paths. I can explain that one path would be pursuing getting more work and following more clients, or taking about a year off, and traveling, and pursuing a graduate degree. Do you have any comment on that?'Thought AdjusterfusionThought AdjustersFusionThought Adjuster. I believe the last time we communicated, I was asked to go back and extrapolate the data which I had done, and I've communicated with many people, and gotten their ideas also. One of the things that almost put the "icing on the cake" for me was Saturday evening when I was talking to CR when he was with his son, we were [discussing] Andon and Fonta. Just before that I expressed my concern about the ascending mortals fusing with their Thought Adjusters, and the percentage being low. Well, reading that Paper, near the end, it says that Andon and Fonta, arriving on Jerusem, did fuse with their Thought Adjusters, as did their son Son-tad. But, the other immediate family did not. They Spirit-fused--knowing that people who don't Adjuster fuse, do Spirit FusionSpirit-fuse. I guess that was my question last time. The percentage was it 50-50, was it 90-10? What is the percentage? At the time, the question was, "was it my concern?" When I wrote this [transcript], typed it out, I kept thinking, "Well, maybe it is my concern?" At the meeting I said it was not my concern. But, then I realized, if it is my concern, I want to see if I can fuse with my Thought Adjuster, as we all do. If the percentage is low that would be more reason for mankind today to nurture their spiritualism and work towards fusing with their Thought Adjuster, since we have them now and we might not have them on the Mansion Worlds when we resurrect. I guess it's a question of validation of what my thinking is about the low percentage of fused mortals.

Olfana: I will say that the green represents growth potential in you. The blue is representative of conceptual knowledge, experience, concepts which you are comfortable with. The green rises as an opening potential for change which in many ways is unmarked. You may choose your own growth. The potential is God-given; the path is yours. Consider with reflection, contemplation, and prayer, what you wish your life to be now, and in the future. Where do your values meet with concepts you hold of truth, beauty, and goodness? How can you take the energy given to you by God, and use it to best serve Him by your own growth and development? We do not always have these moments of growth in our lives--the fixed potential of real change. Recognize this as an opportunity. Take it seriously, and yet, be at peace that if your intention is to have guidance from the Father, regarding your choices, this is always available to you. Have I answered your query?

Olfana: Are there other questions this evening?

Sl: I have a continuing question from last time, but I don't want to stop somebody else from asking questions. So, if it's opportunistic, I will continue. But, if someone else has a question, I will wait.

Group: Go ahead.

Group: Go ahead.

Sl: My question is a continuation of the question about the ascending mortals fusing with their

Olfana: Sl, I will answer this as [[simply]] as I can. [[Thought Adjuster]] [[fusion]] is a [[potential]] for all [[beings]] from [[this planet]]. Fusion is so complex a topic that you must [[respect]] the [[fact]] that I say to you, you have minimal knowledge given of this [[concept]] within The [[Urantia Book]]. I wish to [[encourage]] you to recognize that this topic is not to be defined by [[evidence]] you find "pro or con" now, in the book. You need to [[realize]] that the [[impetus]] for [[fusion]] should not come from a sense of [[scarcity]], a sense of lost [[opportunity]], otherwise. This is not the [[motivation]] here. [[Spirit-fusion]] is a [[beautiful]], dramatic culmination of a [[process]] you cannot fully [[understand]] now. Do not attempt to relegate [[Spirit-fusion]] as somehow a lesser [[good]]. This is incorrect [[thinking]], Sl. I [[encourage]] you to "let this topic be" for now, and turn this high [[curiosity]] of yours to other matters which [[focus]] your attention upon your own increasing [[knowledge]] of God's [[creation]] and your own particular unique place within this beautiful [[pattern]]...It is important for you to understand that [[fusion]] of any type is an immense [[experience]], that is best described as [[glorious]]! That is all I wish to say on this [[topic]].

Sl: I [[understand]]. I do know the [[fact]] of [[survival]] in itself is rewarding. My only [[thought]] was, if the [[mortals]] of today were aware, more [[aware]], of the fact of the potential of fusing and non-fusing, based on their [[growth]], they might think more than once or twice about what they're actually doing, that's all. I know for sure the givens of what has to [[become]], and I know we all want to fuse, but I think it's...it's not that easy. That's all I'm saying. If you would [[agree]] with me with that, I'll forever keep [[quiet]].

Sl: Enough said.

Sl: Agreed.

Sl: Agreed.

Olfana: Then, I would say to you that love of the Father is the best proclamation to be made to any mortal on this planet. Love in your heart will cause your soul to ripen, and blossom, and grow. This is, indeed, all that is necessary now to truly understand. Let yourself relax with this now, please. And trust me when I say, you dabble with concepts that you are not capable of defining or distinguishing in any way correctly. Please accept this as a loving statement. I do not wish to diminish your desire to understand more of God's plan. I only say that this is a topic which is not effectively pursued as you are approaching it.

Sl: I can [[understand]]. I understand the reasons of not wanting to tell me if I am right. The [[repercussions]]. Thank you.

Olfana: Now I can present a lesson, if you choose, or we may continue on with further questions. Is there a group consensus regarding this?

Olfana: Now I can present a lesson, if you choose, or we may continue on with further questions. Is there a group [[consensus]] regarding this?

J: A lesson for me.

A: Yes, that would be nice to have a lesson.

A: Yes, that would be nice to have a lesson.

Sl: A lesson would be nice, but there's always questions that come into the mind, and we'll be here all night, and I agree, we can do this again.

Sl: A lesson would be nice, but there's always [[questions]] that come into the [[mind]], and we'll be here all night, and I agree, we can do this again.

 

Olfana: Yes, that is an important point to remember. We can do this again! I will now present a Lessonon heartfelt intentionslesson on Heartfelt Intentions. How do we decide that we are drawn to a particular path, compelled to seek out information, knowledge, sometimes at great effort on our part? We search through life for those things which we truly desire from our hearts. If you establish, as a foundation for your searching, that you will be guided by God, you have created a foundation for your growth, your experience, which will always support you well. Lightly, we reach toward some experiences saying, "If this does not turn out well, it is no great cost." Much of this type of decision-making affects our youth. There does not seem to be a great cost, a great price to be paid for many of our choices. However, as we pass through life, we discover, "Oh yes, there is a price to be paid"--sometimes a great price. Then we learn to value more carefully the choices that we make. We recognize our own limitations. We stabilize ourselves within an area of life which begins to feel comfortable, familiar, understood. The problem that can develop from this, is that we begin to cling securely to these things, and may not recognize the potential creativity that has been lost in this path. Always, if you remain open in your lives to new experiences, you will find great potential and growth coming to you time and again. From these many choices, you must decide which ones call to you with the voice of God. This is not always an easily-arrived-at decision. Contemplation of these choices involves a calculation of what price is to be paid. What will the cost be in terms of my effort, my commitment to others, my energies, my hopes. All these attributes of your decision can, indeed, come with the counsel of God. Listen in your heart. Find those thoughts which ennoble you--tell you that you will be a better person for making this choice. That is the mark of God on your decision! You can proceed through life, knowing that your heart leads you, when you feel a sense of open expectation! Trust in the benign, loving plan of God for you, and in a sense that [in] any risks taken, [you] will be protected by those beings who love you and support you on your path. Think of yourself stepping out, moving forward, with your heart as a glowing, pulsating, point of light within the many colors and patterns which charge your system. Visualize this heart center with a soft, glowing light, and realize that the energy which fuels this light is from God! This is the light which will, indeed, brighten your path, help you through the darkness of confusion, distrust, worry, or even fear. The ability of your heart to lead you into right choices is strong, powerful, capable of being a great guide for you. Hold to this image, then, as you seek to choose from the many opportunities which will, indeed, present themselves to you in your life. This is my lesson for this evening. I will remain with you longer if you choose, or we can now end this session. Do you share a sense of which choice you will make?

J: Yea, so...

Olfana: Yes.

Olfana: Are you seeking further input from me regarding this choice?

Olfana: Are you seeking further input from me regarding this [[choice]]?

J: Well, I feel that I had just about made my choice, anyway. I was looking for validation, actually, and I feel I got it here, tonight.

J: Well, I feel that I had just about made my choice, anyway. I was looking for validation, actually, and I feel I got it here, tonight.

Olfana: [smiling] Then my lesson has been well received!

Olfana: [smiling] Then my lesson has been well [[received]]!

J: Yes.

J: Yes.

Olfana: This gives me much pleasure in my own heart! I choose the lessons for you with care. You have sensed, at times, that I speak directly to one or the other about their needs, their desires, their confusion. This is indeed true. But, I speak to all of you, if you will take the lesson, and say, "How does this cause me to consider myself?" "Can this information help me to know my own understanding of life better?" These lessons are ones which I studied myself. Indeed, I share with you now concepts, images, particular passages, of lessons that moved me as a beginning student on the morontia level. This is where I am allowed my own Olfanaprepares her lessonscreative input LessonsTeachers can modifyto the lessons of the Melchizedek LessonsTeachers can modifyMelchizedeks. I appreciate the many generous comments that you have made regarding your appreciation of them. I will continue to strive to offer you lessons which will inspire you, and give you a sense of the beauty which awaits you in your eternal career. Now do you wish to end this session, or would you like further time with me?

Olfana: You are understood by us, J. We recognize your strong energy and feel the warmth coming from your soul. You will do well to trust that you are watched and helped in your path to God. We welcome you in your explorations of this experience, and encourage you to pray and seek stillness as a means of discovering the Father's voice within you. I sense S's energy as beginning to tire. May I address any further issues within the group, or do you wish to close this session?

Sl: I would like Olfana to know that my questions are not to challenge you to the point that I'm testing. It's for my own knowledge of learning. I have lots of questions that are probably...attacking...which I don't mean to. Like, I would like to know now, "Where you are now?" This is my first time of asking questions of this sort, of being loose. Are you here? Are you on the mansion worlds? Where is your locale physically?

Olfana: I am here, with you in this room. My energy surrounds S's. I use her body. She trusts me and patiently sits within herself, while I speak. Her mind is still active. I hear her thoughts. But to further describe my presence would be too much to ask of S now. It is a highly emotional topic for her.

Sl: I'm a very technical person, and the communication between you and James, I'd like to know just a little bit about that, and I want to thank James for being here.

Sl: I'm a very [[technical]] person, and the [[communication]] between you and James, I'd like to know just a little bit about that, and I want to thank James for being here.

James: You’re very welcome.

James: You’re very welcome.

Olfana: James and I are teachersTeacherspersonal, differing in some of our capacities and sharing talents also. We develop our own relationships, as your own contacts grow among you. I am more aware of James, now, then I was previously. He serves B very well, and I hope that in B's model you can see the potential of your own relationship with a personal teacher. This is available to each of you if you choose it. It is not something to be taken lightly. Personal teachers require much effort. Is this not true, B?

Olfana: Thank you. I'm sure James appreciated the compliment, too.

Olfana: Thank you. I'm sure James [[appreciated]] the compliment, too.

Sl: Are there any other teachers available, present, watching? Assuming like, if A, or R, were to eventually get a teacher, would that teacher be here, evaluating, for the potential of being a teacher for one of the people present here?

Sl: Are there any other teachers available, present, watching? Assuming like, if A, or R, were to [[eventually]] get a teacher, would that teacher be here, [[evaluating]], for the potential of being a teacher for one of the people present here?

Olfana: You are all watched at times Teacherswatch usby many different teachers. Some of these teachers are in training for their own groups. I watched other groups before I became the teacher for this group. I am not at liberty to express all the details of this. But, it is true that you are all watched at many times, in many ways. We watch you with love. We do not judge you, in the sense that you perceive judgment. You may request us to leave you, which S has, indeed, asked of me, at times. I encourage you to consider the possibility of this relationship for yourself. It is, indeed, an adventure in itself to have, as a further participant in your own growth, a guide who loves you, supports you, encourages you again to seek those heartfelt intentions in life. James?

Olfana: You are all watched at times by many different [[teachers]]. Some of these teachers are in [[training]] for their own groups. I watched other groups before I became the teacher for this group. I am not at [[liberty]] to express all the details of this. But, it is true that you are all watched at many times, in many ways. We watch you with [[love]]. We do not [[judge]] you, in the sense that you [[perceive]] judgment. You may request us to leave you, which S has, indeed, asked of me, at times. I [[encourage]] you to consider the possibility of this [[relationship]] for yourself. It is, indeed, an [[adventure]] in itself to have, as a further [[participant]] in your own [[growth]], a [[guide]] who loves you, [[supports]] you, [[encourages]] you again to seek those heartfelt [[intentions]] in life.

James: Yes.

James: In regard to being a Teacherspersonalpersonal teacher, it is something that many among the Teaching Mission long to do--to come to you, to be your companion, as you wish, in the moments when you are seeking the guidance necessary for your growth. We want to be a part of your spiritual path. We respect your free will in all matters. If you wish our presence with you, then a teacher will be with you. It is that easy. Requesting a personal teacher for yourselves does make particular...excuse me...It is not important for your spiritual path whether or not you select a personal teacher for yourself. This is a choice you can make, if it is comfortable for you. There is much sharing available. It is our wish to share with you our knowledge, and experience, and most of all, God's love, which is lacking in so many moments in your lives. It would be comforting to know that there is a friend present whom you can lean towards, and share intimate moments--someone who can understand your thoughts and intentions in a way that you have not experienced, and have longed for, perhaps. My experience with Benjamin is very fulfilling for me. It is the choice I have made in my journey to be a teacher, to be attached to someone who is seeking, and to offer my guidance. It is wonderful to develop this friendship which will remain intact for eternity. Do any of you have a question?

R: How does this relationship compare to our Thought Adjusters?

R: How does this [[relationship]] [[compare]] to our [[Thought Adjusters]]?

James: Your Thought Adjuster indwells you, and is your destiny. Teachers are fellow personalities on the same path. We are a little ahead of you, and we can help you to reach places in your journey a little easier, show you choices that you might not have considered, to help you gain growth that you desire. Your Thought Adjuster has all the guidance that you need for this journey as well, and, we would ask that you always seek the guidance of your Thought Adjusterprimary relationshipThought Adjuster, as we do ourselves, Consider us big brothers or sisters, as you wish, as you will. You see us, perhaps, as beyond you, or so different, because you cannot touch us or see us the way you do your companions. But we are more like you than, perhaps, you realize, and that is what you may find comforting in this relationship.

Sl: James, Are you an ascending mortal?

Sl: James, Are you an [[ascending mortal]]?

James: Certainly I am.

James: Certainly I am.

James: Again, there are many beings and [[influences]] which minister to you. Your [[Guardian Angels]], who [[love]] you very dearly, who are your constant [[companions]], do not completely [[understand]] the [[path]] that you are on, but are there to [[assist]] you, and lift you along the [[spiritual]] [[path]]. There is much in your [[emotional]] states, in the workings of your [[minds]], which your [[Guardian Angels]] cannot entirely [[comprehend]]. Your Angels are of a different order of being, are [[complimentary]] to your [[mortal]] state. It is an important [[relationship]]. We, as teachers, are your [[brothers and sisters]] on the same path. We are here on [[this Mission]] to bring about [[change]] in this world. This is a [[unique]] occurrence and not to be [[considered]] ordinary, that we are here. There is much to be done in this world to bring the [[mortals]] of this realm to the stages of [[Light and Life]]. And all efforts known to our [[Creator]] are being employed to bring about this [[change]] more effectively, and as soon as proper [[growth]] permits.

R: James, is it possible to actually get inside the [[feelings]] of your teacher or the other teachers, in the sense that they have [[emotions]] like we have, ourselves?

 

R: James, is it possible to actually get inside the feelings of your teacher or the other teachers, in the sense that they have emotions like we have, ourselves?

James: The communication from your side to ours, I believe, is what you are asking about. It is much easier for us to understand your feelings, and to see what you see, and to know you, then it is for you to know us. That is obvious to you. Teachersrelationship with studentThe teacher can share with you their feelings when you ask, when you open yourself, because your teacher is always wanting to share. It is for you to allow the sharing and ask for it.

Sl: Question. The Teaching Mission on our planet of Urantia is needed at this time because of the Lucifer rebellion, for sure. But, on a planet that has not gone through a rebellion, is the communication there also with the Teaching Mission, to the ascending mortals of a evolutionary planet, to the mansion worlds of other systems?

Olfana: Are you seeking an answer from James or myself?

Olfana: Are you seeking an answer from James or myself?

Sl: Either. Whomever is not tired.

Sl: Either. Whomever is not tired.

James: This Mission, as it is happening on this planet, is Teaching Missionoccurring on other planetsunique. But similar Missions are taking place on other worlds similar to yours, who are in need of such ministry. On normal worlds, this specific type of Mission has not occurred "per se," but there are many different kinds of ministries given to worlds. Guidance is always available for mortals in all worlds when seeking.

Sl: Thank you.

Sl: Thank you.

Olfana: I will add that, within the universe of Nebadon, the concept of "those, who have gone ahead, reach back and help those just behind them" is the general principle of truth which operates on all levels of ministry. This is enough information for now. I do set limits, at times, Sl. Do you understand what I say here?
