*OTHER PEOPLE, OTHER WORLDS
*HAM - Nashville
===Lesson===
Humankind asks if there is another world like earth and other human beings living there. You, who are readers of our textbook, the Urantia Papers, do understand that there are indeed trillions of other worlds inhabited like Urantia, however most humans are unaware of this fact.

If you intend entrance into God's house, then must you actively offer entrance always to those less deserving. If you expect God's mercy upon your life, show abundant mercy within your life. Love is never passive or neglectful of its purpose; neither can you rest passively and be neglectful of life's purpose for you. Find your destiny in this world by actively being true to your intentions, the intention of love."

But these are things of the past; they cannot be changed. We can do much changing of the present and the future by working together now. It is time to quit reciting the follies of man and begin to change civilization as we know it for the better by spiritualizing the thinking of the people, putting God in their lives.

DEVOTING TIME TO SPIRITUAL GROWTH
*DEVOTING TIME TO SPIRITUAL GROWTH
TARKAS - Cincinnati
*TARKAS - Cincinnati
===Lesson===
There are so many beautiful and inspiring works being written and produced. I would suggest that you begin to devote time reading and learning and expanding your spiritual knowledge. So many people unconsciously spend a great deal of time in mindless entertainment that really contributes little to your growth. There are many other choices that could be made that would give you greater enjoyment and joy in life.

At present, the thinking is that there is no story without conflict. And yet, as you develop a higher level of consciousness, you will begin to substitute conflict for growth, and you will find truly fascinating stories of growth . .. spiritual development. Just as many of you find so much fascination with conflict, so even the face of your entertainment and interests will be changing in the years ahead. Always from your free-will choice based on your expansion of consciousness.

ANDREW - Pittsburgh
*ANDREW - Pittsburgh
===Lesson===
In your troubled world, with its hustle and bustle and overdependence on technology, it is so easy for the mind to become numbed, the spirit to become buried beneath the pressures and mundane experiences of day-to-day life. I sense from time to time that when we speak of lessons and assignments, that you view them as if they were yet another obligation you are being asked to fulfill.

I sense from time to time that when we speak of lessons and assignments, that you view them as if they were yet another obligation you are being asked to fulfill.
My children, on the contrary, we give you these assignments as gifts, hoping to lead your spirits into more freedom, to unfetter you from your cares, to have you realize that there is great, great joy in attuning yourselves more fully to the spirit of the Father. He would not have you come with a sense of "should" or "ought" or "must" obligation, but rather come to his tenderness, to his goodness, to his immense love because it will bring you great joy to do so.

REASONS FOR OUR ADVERSITIES
*REASONS FOR OUR ADVERSITIES
HAM - Woods Cross, Utah

===Lesson===
This is a broad question, and I can only answer in broad terms. Adversity requires reaction. This reaction builds strength and stamina in character. Each person experiences adversity for this purpose.

This 'I can do' attitude is important, and cannot develop without having done. Therefore, adversity, small and great, befalls us all, and must be overcome and grappled with individually in order to build a strong and reliable soul.

ENERGIES RELEASED BY PRAYER
*ENERGIES RELEASED BY PRAYER
WELMEK - Indianapolis
*WELMEK - Indianapolis
===Lesson===
Obviously, the energies that are being generated for a group of individuals, if only one person prays, is going to be limited compared to a group of people praying for another group. There is, as we have discussed, a geometric relationship in regards to the number of individuals who make a petition relative to the number of individuals the petition is being made for. We can amplify this energy, and we have been commissioned to accelerate, to an extent, the time that it takes for the recipient to become aware of the prayer, the energy, that has been sent their way.

The more specific your request, the more focused your thought and feeling in regards to prayer, the more efficiently we can help in the response time and recognition of your petition. But always remember, we cannot control the will of the creature. If the individual refuses help for ego reasons, there is really not a great deal, at least during the life in the flesh, that we or anyone else can do.

All of your efforts are what will, in the end, bring us the success that we have sworn to achieve for our dearest Sovereign. For this mission, when we have more fully learned what we are about, will transform this entire world into a place of unprecedented truth, beauty and goodness, and you will all have been gardeners with us in the creation of this new Eden, this new and special world of light and life. But remember, too, that it is Michael's world. It will be special beyond the ordinary.

THE STILLNESS AND SPIRITUALITY
*THE STILLNESS AND SPIRITUALITY
HAM - Woods Cross, Utah
*HAM - Woods Cross, Utah
===Lesson===
The goal of stillness seeking is different (from meditation). I request not the seeking of blissful ease experience, but rather the supreme exercise of true faith, the true faith of the child reaching out with courage toward the Father, and the reciprocal downward reaching of the Father toward His child. This is the sublime experience in life, and much guidance, inspiration, foresight and spiritual insight may be thus obtained as the reward of the sincere faith-seeking child.

===Lesson===
The human is blessed-cursed with ego. Ego, in and of itself is not good or bad. Unfortunately, it is mostly in control in individuals at this time on Urantia.

We cannot be perfect here, brothers and sisters, so do not make another ego error of self-punishment for past and present mistakes. We are all learning together. We are becoming together. We are going through a process together. This is what ascension, evolution, experiential beings do. Just be aware of the difference, so one may achieve balance.

FAITH AND ACTION
*FAITH AND ACTION
AFLANA - Hawaii
*AFLANA - Hawaii
===Lesson===
Action must follow faith for the spirit to grow. By taking action one's faith is fortified. Have you not seen this? Has not your willingness to step out in faith been rewarded? It always is thus. Faith without action is like a vine that is dying from lack of water. Action is the water that brings new strength and new growth.

UNDERSTANDING THE OPPOSITE SEX
*UNDERSTANDING THE OPPOSITE SEX
HAM - Woods Cross, Utah
*HAM - Woods Cross, Utah
===Lesson===
Understanding grows when minds are sympathetic. There may not be complete understanding, but harmonious relationships are certainly attainable. Sympathetic, mutual and non-judgmental attitudes are essential in this love growth. The strength of man is logic, and the logical thought pattern is somewhat inimical to the strength of woman, which is intuition. She, in many ways, finds it easier to follow God, for His communication is often in that intuitive realm. This is a great and noble strength which should be respected in this world, although it is largely unrecognized.

These two complementary, yet different, mindsets are wonderfully expressive in union of the Father and His creation. In union, there is tremendous and entire nobility of expression between both men and women together. This union is sublime, and stronger and more beautiful than either one separate. It is meant to be so.

FAITH AS A SILENT BELL

TARKAS - Half Moon Bay, California
*TARKAS - Half Moon Bay, California
===Lesson===
What does the commitment of faith mean for you? Ponder this. Faith rings like a silent bell in our heart. It resonates with the vibrations of the Father's love. Faith is never an unconscious effort. It requires conscious attention to the perception of all you understand, coupled with your trust that the design of events is woven with a greater beauty than our earthly perceptions can comprehend.

Faith efforts are those which bear your creator's mark. They are the motivation of the Thought Adjuster, coupled with your free will heart's desire. How often do you truly reach out to the experiences of life with this "hallmark of the Father" as your guiding light? Realize that such efforts ennoble your character greatly.

Fear not that time can run out on you, or that you may miss something vital, that you may overlook something of eternal import, for you have stretching before you the road to infinity. Certainly you may enjoy this existence while you have it without the stress of worrying about something which may prevent you from truly living."

===Lesson===
From a broad perspective, I would say that it is quite difficult to live on a planet which has had so much turmoil and should, in all rightness, have progressed much further. It is rather a mixed blessing, as we have said before. From our perspective, which I realize can never be yours, we see so much opportunity here for service, literally everywhere that you turn. We have learned that through service, through the giving of live, there is much joy to be reaped. So, the more you give, the more received, and therefore we want to continue working in this beautiful and brilliant spiritual light and hope that, in my case, you can reflect just a part of it.

As you know, the teachings themselves must be changed. In many ways, Urantia must start at the very basic foundation. That is, within the individual, within the family, for from the family can emanate great values that are being sorely missed at this time. indeed, the breakdown of parenting has actually grown, as have so many problems from crime, disease and hatred.

TARKAS - Cincinnati

===Lesson===
There is a unifying influence on our side which we hope will eventually be accepted by you as a strong and powerful oneness. We do represent the one God, the First Source and Center, and so our influences should all be in unison or a oneness with that. And yet we understand your curiosity. You want to know our individual names. You have correctly ascertained that we each have our own personalities. You know that crossing to this side is simply a step to another dimension and level of progress. We, of course, have different personalities as you do.

That oneness could be likened to a beautiful patterned rug that you are weaving of many colors, and you are each threads interweaving that beautiful tapestry, making something quite beautiful by working together and creating something of great strength and foundation. A foundation that all of you can stand on, once your rug is completed. And, perhaps, fly away to one of the mansion worlds.

If you trust this process of seeking the truth with the mind and the heart joined, you will be in safe hands. You will be led by God to the understanding that your particular soul on its particular, unique path travels toward. Imagine, then, this image. See yourself as reaching out to grasp the hand of God -- the Father, the Mother, the Protector, the Guide. Say: 'Lead me to truth, I beseech you.' You can always trust that your supplication, your prayer, for this assistance will be heard.

While it is not mandatory that you have faith in many things that you see in your world . .. it is not a prerequisite for anything . .. nonetheless, when you exhibit and show faith in your brothers and sisters and in your ability to make positive, spiritual changes in this world, when you show this faith and act upon it, you will be blessed, rewarded, and you are truly on the path of the Father's light.

It is our fond hope that the whole field of alternative medicine will become part of an all-encompassing practice of medicine which greatly multiplies the limited and narrow abilities that your doctors now have through their techniques of surgery and drugs that mask symptoms. There is a great deal more to healing. So much more than we can communicate in these lessons. In coming years, in the immediate years ahead, you will find many exciting things coming from the fountain of you inspired humans. You have tuned in to celestial connections. We look forward to it with great anticipation."

The Correcting Time is as vast as you would imagine Christ's Second Coming, for it is the preparation of our world for this glorious reception. And so all phases of society must be affected, all of your institutions, for what is somewhat different is that it could be said to work from the inside out, from within the hearts and minds of individuals, flowing outward rather than working through the leadership that you have established in your institutions.

So this growth from within will not be so evident for some time to come in institutions, which can readily hide their progress. But while the leadership may seek to resist and hide this progress it will surely overflow from the membership ranks, from those who are concerned, who are quite restless for something better, for new solutions. The realization that we must take responsibility for our lives, for turning them over to institutions has not worked.

We have turned over our parenting responsibilities too often to televisions and schools. We must embrace our own children and teach them and love them at the same time. Our institutions will continue to fail. There will continue to be turmoil. There will be economic failures. There will be mighty resistance to those who would change these institutions for they will feel threatened and they will struggle to maintain their wealth and power.

In truth, if you believe that this life is all there is, it is understandable that you may be dismayed at the prospects. If, however, you can accept that this is but the beginning of a long, glorious adventure, then the adversities, problems and barriers that you encounter throughout this life are more easily seen as stepping stones and opportunities for growth. You will be less likely to be discouraged and more likely to be challenged by problems.

It does seem to be a stretch of the imagination for those in your position. However, from our perspective, it is the only way. This is not to say that great things may not happen, and indeed they are expected, however, the failing of those to occur should in no way diminish your interest in personal spiritual growth. For whether a materialization ever occurs in your presence should not impact your own strivings and enlightenment toward the Father.

God's love is amplified through our projection--our extension. This extension can be likened to what happens when we throw a pebble in a lake--the waves go outward, never ceasing until they meet the shore. Only with our extension of love, there is no shore to stop its ever widening projection. If mortal man could see with spiritual perspective, he would see how every gentle touch, every kindness extended to the brotherhood, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem on the surface, has an ongoing, never-ending effect on the total.

An analogy might be helpful. Picture, if you will, the gas tank of your car. If, each time you wanted to drive the vehicle, you simply put in a couple of cups of gas, just enough to get you where you wanted to go and no further, that would be all the distance you could expect from your vehicle. However, if you kept the tank more full, going further distances would always beavailable to you. You would not be scraping the bottom of the tank, so to speak.

He cannot work in you and through you, unless you strengthen this connection, to the most optimum benefit of you and the brotherhood. Try making that commitment for two weeks, then you be the judge of whether the benefits outweighed the inconvenience.

What you have today, your Urantia Book, is the final outcome. It has now provided you with the structure of the universes that began to be told to John, even as it was first taught by your prince. Your record contains many metaphorical and allegorical pictures that have been interpreted over the ages such that a settled system of interpretation has developed, disallowing further wresting of truth from the passages. The beast has multiple meanings that are for you to interpret. Do not be concerned that this marking is a sign of defect. It is rather indicative of your natural state. It has been thought of as an impurity, a result of the age-long development in Christianity of the concept of human inferiority and the fear of evil's superiority.

Therefore, increase the degree of patience in your progress, the patience of action, which includes perseverance, the patience that is motivating and enduring, not the patience of lethargy, of unconcern, of "oh well". In every element that makes up your life you will find the same process occurring multi-dimensionally and cyclically.

Each day when you awake, you are faced with many options. Most of you prepare for school or work or other activities which you habitually participate in, and these patterns that evolve become almost automatic at times. And so your day's time balance is often not necessarily prearranged, but the time is spoken for, and usually this is sufficient to give you the feeling of balance.

However, in other areas in your lives, especially in your discretionary time, where there are different choices of activities available to you, balance is more consciously sought. You like to have time for your families, your leisure, your hobbies, your spiritual seeking, your material maintenance, and a myriad of other possible activities. And so it is with this group, as we see a struggle for balance.

But after the initial excitement waned, the group began the process of the hard work involved with the lessons we suggested, the 1-2-3 exercise, the listening exercise, the attempts to do small kindnesses to those we met, the attempt to visualize all we saw and encountered as other children of God, the attempts at selfless service, and so on. And we went through a phase where everyone consciously made an effort to go about these activities in their daily lives, without changing their normal patterns, but instead imbuing them with a new consciousness which changed the manner in which activities were engaged in.

The desire for great spiritual changes and material changes on this world and many other of our fondest dreams. And throughout this period, there was the emotional ups and downs of hopes and then hopes dashed and so we've struggled for balance throughout these periods as will always be the case throughout your lives and thereafter.
But part of this Mission and our lessons to you involve the ability to take what we've told you, to avoid being fanaticized by the prospects and to use this knowledge to transform yourselves so that you become purveyors of good cheer, so that you became better fathers, mothers, children, and every other activity that you're involved in, you'll become lighter and more attractive as you perform your duties.

You will also begin losing fear of so many possible negative things that could happen, because your faith has grown that in the end all will work for the best. Indeed, the most balanced of people are those that can ride the surface of the tempest and yet not be effected, that can have faith in the Father, and through that faith, can divest themselves of many of the unnecessary spiritual poisons that so many people carry with them.

This balance does not require discussions on a daily, weekly, or annual basis with celestial personalities. As we've said before, we're a minor part of this entire process. And yet it is thought that we can cause you to remember to consciously move yourselves to a more balanced position than when you began. And of course a large part of this balance is attained through the daily stillness practice that we have attempted to encourage you to participate in.

So as with any endeavor, it is a long road, a road where you take small steps, but eventually climb tall mountains. It is not something that you will see the results of overnight, but others see them in you.

And when you achieve the type of balance that we are speaking of, you will become more influential with those you know. You will become a role model for those who lie in fear, for they can see your good cheer and lightheartedness, in the face of adversity, and they will know that you have found something, something upon which you have built a foundation, something which you have grown in your soul, and can never be taken from you. And that is the kind of balance that each of you struggles with every day, and which we hope our lessons, our encouragement and our suggested routines have assisted you in developing.

All of us within this room, have our own individual understanding of what faith means to us, of where we fit in the Father's scheme of things. All of you process information in different ways. Some of you are more intellectual, or as my student prefers to think, left-brained, others of you are more emotionally inclined, and process more from the right hemisphere.

All of these individual ways of processing are valid, but we are coming into a new time, where we will begin more and more to function as integrated humans. By integrated, I mean that you will be processing information utilizing both hemispheres of your brain, in concert with your opening heart, and this indeed, will push you forward into this new time, as a new people.

It is important to receive the yeasting of ministry provided to you from your indwelling spirit. It is important for you to receive the kneading provided by your life episodes. It is important for you to receive the resting time of stillness in order to cultivate the spirit within and actualize in your awareness His presence in order to be this presence as you live. It is important for you to be salted with sanity and sobriety to understand your limitations, to carefully guard from fanatical expression and over-rapid growth.

You can always benefit greatly from the "tried and true" path of looking inward for this Voice of God which continually reaches out toward you. You have so little encouragement, now, on this planet, to regard this Voice as the great guide which it is! It is as if those who chose this effort must do so by overcoming the prejudices which exist regarding this process. They are often discouraged from such an effort by statements such as: "All you will hear is what you want to hear." "You will only be talking to yourself." "You cannot find the Guidance of God within the small confines of your own mind."

This is most incorrect! I encourage you to trust greatly in the ability of the Thought Adjuster's guidance, the Voice of God within you, to ring clearly within your mind and heart -- if you will only come to this process with an open mind and a willingness to listen, a willingness to ponder what you sense. Consider it from many perspectives.

"Chew on it!," as it were. This is an expression I enjoy within your language. "Chew" on this guidance. Savor the flavor of this Truth! Does it not only nourish you, but appease your appetite for Truth?

Self-discipline also requires an abandonment of the ego's desire to be in charge. If you are led by this voice which rationalizes continually the noble effort you might otherwise choose, or the noble effort you might make, you are being drawn down by the ego!

Self-discipline can be motivated by, instead, saying to yourself: "I will make this effort for God." "I will make this effort for the good of my soul." "I will make this effort for the common good of others." "I will make this effort as an example to others of my intention to sincerely serve. "

I am speaking here not only of issues of self-discipline that are those regarding one's use of one's time, or one's decisions which affect others. I am also speaking of those issues of self-discipline which involve the maintenance of one's bio-physical being, one's body, one's "Temple for the Soul."

You should be looking for the best in each person's beliefs so that you can emphasize those aspects of that belief system. We are not here to create barriers between people. There are enough barriers presently in existence to effectively keep people from sharing the Father's love. We seek to build bridges between people so that the love can be transmitted between you and those you meet.

Your free will gift consists in accepting your selves, your own individuality and precious uniqueness, which has no duplication, neither past nor future. When you accept your selves as you are in this moment, you have also accepted him as an integral part of your self. As you understand this in totality, you will see that there is only one will. Your will and the divine will are one. Then there are no more conflicts.

Joy, freedom, energy is in oneness, in completion, in accord with the universe and all created beings. This is, in fact, self-realization as well as the realization of heaven on earth. Most of you will have had glimpses of this nirvanic state. This wholeness and complete feeling of oneness.

English is a difficult language for this expression. There is no verb which is applicable for this soul motion, this becoming and being at once. For this is not a statically blissful state. This is a state of movement. Your words joy and bliss convey a temporary state which one enters and leaves. The true bliss of continual self-realization and the simultaneous understanding, which grows continually deeper, and higher and wider, of the divine being who dwells within is an action word. Words are limiting and are continually in need of advancing as the human cultural state advances and expands to include higher ideals and concepts. Your words will need to be similarly expanded.
The local universe language is adequate for conveying a number of subtle differences between spiritual states. Have patience with our groping to convey concepts which have outgrown your language. Also I am not yet allowed to use local universe terms.
