We [[hope]] that this has not caused you to call into question the [[Teaching Mission]], or [[Christ Michael]]’s work, or the [[Correcting Time]]. Do you have [[doubts]]? Do you wonder if there were substantial errors involved? Are you being [[guided]] rightly? Are [[the Teachers|these teachers]] really who they say they are, what they are, and know what they say? Be discerning, dear students; be careful. That is why we offer you this lesson with a tether, a fishing line of Christ Michael. You may feel assured in your knowledge of The [[Urantia Book]], but are you as assured of your own [[thinking]] processes, that you would not be guided astray by the [[sophistries]] of one who would? Remember, there were [[Midwayers]] who had been on this planet for—how many years? —and [[angels]], who were created, children of the Infinite Mother—and these made errors in [[judgment]], errors of [[character]], through the persuasions of those who were capable. Be discerning; use this as a lesson. How would Christ Michael perform? How would Christ Michael react? And how does he [[react]] to this situation? You know the answer already—lovingly, through [[acceptance]], embracing you and all [[the teachers]]—for this was not a flaw of character, but of content.

Let us go a bit deeper; take another [[plateau]] of understanding. And this is where the lesson begins more heartily: We have taught you [[sincerely]], earnestly, forth-rightly, leading you always forward with the same [[truths]], but there are other [[techniques]] of teaching. There is a technique called the "Teacher in Error." Students of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religions_of_the_Ancient_Near_East ancient religions] and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martial_arts martial arts] know this well. The teacher presents—intentionally presents—the students with an [[error]]. How will they react to this? Will they take [[advantage]] of it for their own [[purposes]]? Will they come to the front and say, "Teacher is wrong; follow me!"? Do they come forward, boasting that they have found the teacher in error?

The question students need to ask is, "Why did the teacher do this? The teacher knows this was in [[error]]." And in the old religions and in the arts, it was to [[reveal]] the [[character]], the learning level of the [[understanding]] of the students. And they reveal themselves, oftentimes, as students in [[opposition]], whereas the higher level is to take a sympathetic approach, and see it from the teacher’s [[perspective]]. This is a new level of [[consciousness]] that the teacher wishes the students to arise to. In this case, it was not an intentional [[error]]; it was simply, an honest mistake. Yet we have the tremendous benefit of a wonderful lesson, a lesson in [[discernment]], a lesson in the achievement of mastery. So we use this today, to help you raise your consciousness to the level of the Master. Why would the teacher do this when the teacher knows it is in [[error]]? The sympathetic student would say, "Teacher, did you know you made an error?" "If you knew that, why did you do that?" And the teacher will say, " Either I made an honest mistake or I wanted to teach you a higher level of lesson."

Student: Rayson, I have other questions that were sent to me from someone outside of this group, dealing with the zero-point energy issue. (Certainly.)

The first question: Was the ability [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla Mr. Tesla] had to visualize and work out the details of his [[experiments]] in his mind, one of the additional [[morontial]] senses that we can develop at this time?

RAYSON: In general terms, yes. Mr. Tesla had the humanly incredible ability to think in advanced ways, to see energetic [[processes]], which were not known to exist, and to be able to convey them into material form. He was the engineering epitome of a human/morontial [[individual]]; he was able to access these levels of [[mechanical]] understanding. He was in many ways, a [[savant]], in a limited area; he was [[gifted]]. Those mortals who knew him, however, knew he was deficient in other areas. Yes, these levels are accessible through not just maturation, but the development and evolution of the [[morontial mind]] like nascent buds in your mind, waiting to be developed. We urge you in your [[efforts]] to develop these nascent morontial buds, that you do so along the spectrum of development and evolution, rather than in limited areas. Your Master, Christ Michael, is the ultimate example; yet, even in your material state, it is not too idealistic to pursue those levels of fulfillment and accomplishment.

In many ways, the announcement and your [[anticipation]] of the arrival of the [[Magisterial Son]], has provided a new form of [[thought]] and [[entertainment]] for you. It is much like celestial teachers sitting around conjecturing about the future. [[Eventually]], you must get up, bid your friends adieu, and go back to work. (Happily, of course!) With [[curiosity]]! We have prepared you as best we can for the [[events]] that follow. We know that you will not be in [[disappointment]] like the [[disciples]] in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_Christianity first centuries of believers of the early church] after Christ died, anticipating his "prompt" return. We know that you will not be disappointed, but that you will eagerly look forward to the arrival, either that of the Magisterial Son, or your own arrival, your welcoming [[home]], when you arrive in the [[resurrection halls]]. Your preparation for the Magisterial Son is excellent homework to [[prepare]] you for your eventual arrival "home."

And for those who will be here when he arrives, it will be much like taking an extended hiatus from your college [[studies]]. Eventually, you must respond, return to your studies, and continue on. There are no short cuts; there will simply be the living [[assurance]] that your living God in the form of your Magisterial Son, is with you. There will be no more second-guessing, for you will have [[faith]] "now." We look forward to that day as well, for you, for your benefit, for your growth. The [[Teaching Mission]] and the [[Correcting Time]] will continue, though we know that your interests will be more in [[earnest]], that you will apply your efforts more [[diligently]], day-to-day and moment-to-moment.
