RAYSON: Good afternoon, this is Rayson. My, what a grounded and peaceful and settled group we have today—very placid and very pacific. This makes a wonderful entryway for the topic that we will speak of today. This topic has been spoken of many times, but many months and years in the past and perhaps it is time now to refresh this with a new angle to it.

We not only sense, but [also] see the maturing of your group. You are not a "centric group," meaning that you do not focus in on your group or your beliefs as central to all, but that you are accepting of other beliefs that are congruent. This is wonderful, because this leaves you as an open system, rather than a closed system. And were you to be closed, you would have all the answers, would you not? And then you would be able to pontificate, if you desired to, to other groups and other belief systems, saying that you had "the right way." But by being open, you are tolerant and you are discerning, having the capacity and capability to examine other beliefs, as they may be valuable to you, weighing those that are worthy, useful to you, and weighing out those that are not. The maturity of your group parallels the maturity of many other groups.

Are there questions? And if there are other teachers who wish to speak, I invite them to come forward as well.

Student: I have a question Rayson. This may seem like a strange question, but in terms of trying to find who we really are, of developing our own personalities to the maximum, on this world we go by a different set of standards or traits we call "personality," can you give me some examples of what our true nature would entail, so that I can tell from that, what is part of my real personality and what part of that is just my cultural training?

ZARATH (TR, Jerry): Yes, this is Zarath. I am so pleased to be able to join this group, and to express some level of my appreciation and joy and love for you all. I have listened to my senior teacher, Rayson, with great attention. We all can learn from such wise advice. There is much in the universe that remains to be opened to us all, and the experience of doing so is ever more joyous, ever more expansive, evermore beautiful. My message will be short, but I leave these thoughts with you: Your continued development is so well known and appreciated here, for it justifies all of our efforts, patience and experience. I like-wise then commend you and leave you with my love. Good afternoon. (Thank you, Zarath.)

RAYSON: We will revisit this topic from other perspectives in the future. It is one that you will hear about many times in your lifetime, one which is part of your elementary, preschool preparation in the morontial realm. It is a measure of your maturity, a measure of your relationship to the other, and your acceptance of the relationship of the other to you. It is an intimate aspect of your living in the morontial realm that you can demonstrate now, in your life in the mortal realm. Find peace. Find stillness. Do not be afraid of solitude; take time to reflect upon your life, your experiences and the moments that you live in. Give your mind time to integrate your life’s experience into a larger framework that can contribute significantly to your maturity, as individuals, as emotional beings, and to the growth of your soul. Strive not to be so busy. Have less; live easier. Have joy; be in love with the world, the universe, yourself, and who you are to become. Good day. (Thank you.)
