===Opening===
 +
Good evening, my dear friends. This is Tarkas. It is truly gratifying to see such a large gathering this evening. We have much to discuss this evening. And we have Bakim and her artisans feverishly preparing a [[gallery]] of what they hope to be [[illuminating]] and [[beautiful]] works for you to see. It will be a grand [[experiment]] to see if we can interlock all of the loving energies into a visualization. It should be quite interesting for you all.

===Review===
 +
I do have brief remarks this evening before we begin, before our artistic portion of the evening, in order to reiterate a few of the basic [[tenets]] of the [[Teaching Mission]].

with Tarkas, Bakim, and Elisha
+
Several of you are disturbed by recent rigorous denunciations of the mission by several who are among the [[beautiful]] and [[talent]]ed and dedicated in your [[Urantia movement]]. This poses no problem but rather an opportunity to respond to them in loving kindness as we have instructed and inspired you to do all these many months. You will find in their invalid criticisms dedicated [[hearts]] who are working, in their [[minds]], to further [[the Father]]'s [[love]] on your world. It is an opportunity for you to speak about basic teachings of the mission which are entirely agreeable with what they profess.

+
We do not, in [[fact]], seek to divide you with your [[Thought Adjuster]]. Rather we emphasize strongly that this is your ultimate connection to the Father's Indwelling Spirit in the Thought Adjuster, and the [[Spirit of Truth]], as well. If in our [[language]] we say that we are closer to you, this only means in terms of comprehension of our [[presence]]. It is difficult for most [[mortal]]s to reach the deep spiritual inner contact which they so desire. But through our [[morontia]] personalities who are much closer to you, we are able to facilitate this contact and we are quite pleased and overjoyed to do so. Your connection with the heavenly Father is, indeed, the supreme connection.

<u>It has been said somewhat truthfully that the [[Teaching Mission]] would follow the final paragraph¹ in the [[Urantia Book]] which urges you to make this contact. This was a strong and positive admonition at the time of the writing. We are here to help facilitate this contact.</u>

It has been said that we do not use Midwayers in the process. But, indeed we do, and they are quite valuable in many aspects including the downstepping of highly purified spiritual energies of such intensity that they must be downstepped for your presence.

1. Final (actually next to last)  paragraph that is the concluding "great challenge" of the text. It reads:
 +
 +
The great challenge to modern man is to achieve better [[communication]] with the [[divine Monitor]] that dwells within the [[human]] [[mind]]. Man's greatest [[adventure]] in the [[flesh]] consists in the well-[[balance]]d and sane effort to advance the borders of self-consciousness out through the dim realms of [[embryonic]] [[soul]]-consciousness in a wholehearted effort to reach the borderland of [[spirit]]-consciousness--contact with the [[divine]] [[presence]]. Such an experience constitutes [[God-consciousness]], an [[experience]] mightily confirmative of the pre-existent [[truth]] of the religious experience of knowing [[God]]. Such spirit-consciousness is the equivalent of the [[knowledge]] of the actuality of sonship with God. Otherwise, the assurance of sonship is the [[experience]] of '''faith'''.
