Teacher Gorman: Greetings this evening, it I Gorman, here this evening to take the stage and begin with a few thoughts and concerns that were aired previously. To the notion of celestial beings, spiritual personalities, their forms and if it is able for humans to visualize or see them in some kind of form, again, much of this information has to do with a personal religious experience. It may also have to do with your particular interests in a particular being that personally resonates with you, within your consciousness. It may be that this being is attempting to contact you, attempting to work with you,

These aspects of spirit contact help to increase the trust between human personalities and spiritual beings. There is definitely a relationship going on between your mind and spirit personalities, whether it is external or internal. For example, the spirit presence of the mind adjutants is one aspect of what I am referring to. There are also spiritual circuits of truth and wisdom which carry their own aspects. Of course, throughout history on your planet, there is tremendous information recorded of individuals who have had contact in almost all belief systems on the planet, this is not unusual. Part of this is an effort during all times of human life in which spirit is attempting to make contact at a point at which the mortal opens up an aspect of the mind which can receive this information. Again, it makes no difference what the belief system is because the information is always catered through the belief system so as not to upset the individual as much as it is to encourage

the individual, encourage the individual to increasingly believe in these experiences in the reality of their belief system. So this is the information I offer you this evening on this topic.

This evening I would like to focus a few thoughts concerning the edge of spirituality, spirituality of course being that aspect of the mind which goes into a personal belief system, and as such meaning: no two people have the identical belief system. Everyones system of belief is just a little different even if they are concentrated into believing a certain set of things, experiences, or in the case of the Urantia Book which of course precludes that there are going to be a tremendous discrepancies between individuals as to how this book is used, what its meanings have to offer for you personally. So this is what we mean by spiritual, that spirit is working within these belief systems to contact your awareness so that eventually you begin to activate the presence of spirit within you.

So my friends, as they say, this is where the rubber meets the road. This is the edge of spirituality where you find yourself face to face with yourself, fully aware of who you are and who you are becoming and you act accordingly to that which is being shown to you personally, shown to you within your mind. It is like having a sense of [how] it's always easier to tell somebody else how to do something rather than to do it yourself kind of thing. So you do have an awareness, you know about these things but there is something within the human nature which wants to pull you away from moving into those areas. It takes self control and however that may take shape. It may take the form of prayer, it may take the form of practice. You may have to associate yourselves with a group of individuals who are seeking the same thing to get a handle within yourself on things that you want to get a handle on.

So my friends, it is good to be here and to share these thoughts with you this evening, to pose material that forces you to think in however you view this material. It is like casting seeds and we never know where these seeds sprout when we cast them forth but this is what we do, we cast these thoughts forth like a net. So it is in the vein of friendship that we come here and offer these thoughts to you that you may go forward and carry these thoughts into your daily lives during the week, that they may fortify and strengthen, give you courage to face the challenges ahead because you are living on Urantia my friends. I don't have to tell you that this planet is beset with its own special challenges. No one necessarily has it easy. There is always something to work out, things to negotiate, people to love and situations to bring under control. Go in peace my friends.

Light: Greetings to you this evening my friends, it is I, Light, here this evening to illuminate, illuminate in areas which may need a little more light. As a being of light, we in the spiritual world see light as an adjunct to any situation for in the light you are able to see clearly what is at play and to be en-lightened is nothing more than being able to see things in its true light. All situations cast forth some light. Many times it is the conflict of the situation which is the proper ground, the proper confusion to create a space for light to come into a situation and shift it.
