WILL: The love of God surrounds us. The power of God enfolds us. The love of God envelopes us all. Wherever we are, He is. Good evening. I am Will.

I prepared my comments for tonight many times. I have made three major revisions, but the circumstances kept changing. I said earlier, in the paper that Eric related to you by phone this week, that I had sharp words to say, but I find that I cannot say them. You would like to know why. It comes down to this. Like you, I have a schedule to meet. The teaching program for these spiritual ministries has a timetable. We are ahead of schedule. As we have extra time, I have more free time to think about how things are proceeding. I was irritated about some things. I was really irritated about some things. I went to the Melchizedeks. They advised me to take it to Michael. I did so. That is where I was when Eric received communication from the seraphim. And do you know what Michael said? He understands. He knows it is frustrating to me. He said, "Don't worry. It is just the way people are."

I was [[upset]] because I [[feel]] that such a [[wonderful]] [[opportunity]] is placed before you and, in particular, those who have the [[privilege]] of direct and [[personal]] [[access]] are the most flagrant [[abusers]] of their [[stillness]] [[practice]]. I can't [[understand]] this, but [[Michael]] understands. I don't know how, but he knows. He knows because he lived his life on your [[planet]]. He knows what people are like. He [[traveled]] back and forth. He ate in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tents tents]. He [[slept]] under the [[stars]]. He tried to catnap in the bottom of boats with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilge foul sewage washing] around him. He had [[formal]] [[meetings]] with the most [[privileged]] and [[wealthy]] and [[intellectually]] [[trained]] instructors of all of the people alive in the [[educated]] world of his time. He walked [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barefoot barefoot]. He worked for wages. There were times when he was [[hungry]]. There were times when he was [[responsible]] for his own [[family]] and knew not where the next dollar would come from, no [[property]] to sell, no orders for the shop, nothing in the pantry. He knew.

He knew about the times when there is nobody to talk to. When every one of those [[problems]] occurred, he called on [[the Father]], the only sure [[refuge]] of [[mortals]]. He told me about his [[experiences]]. I was astounded. My life on my [[planet]], by comparison, was so plush and so easy and his life was gritty--full of [[risks]], full of [[chances]] and exposures. So when I brought my [[irritation]] to him, he said, "What do you [[expect]]? They are [[human]]." I was astounded by his answer. Am I not a [[human]]? Of course. But after [[listening]] to his [[stories]], I was able to put my [[irritation]] aside and see that [[God]] has all the time. God has [[eternity]]. So do you. So do I. I almost felt [[ashamed]], but it was [[worth]] it because I learned something, and I [[hope]] that you [[listening]] to my [[words]] tonight have learned something also.

[[The Father]]'s table is always set. Set with things that even I do not [[recognize]]. Nothing on the Father's table is there for [[decoration]]. Notwithstanding its [[beauty]], everything on [[the Father]]'s table is [[nourishing]]. Many walk back and forth inches away [[complaining]] that their stomachs ache, they are so [[hungry]]. They are just looking in the wrong places. There are no doors on the Father's banquet hall. If you just get headed in the right direction, you cannot miss it. But, there is one [[threshold]] [[problem]]. You must begin walking.

You must begin walking.

You must begin walking. So I see now that there are other [[perspectives]] to the [[work]] that I am asked to do. There are other ways of looking at your [[situations]], [[individual]] by individual. Actually, things are going very well. When we get [[together]] and [[compare]] notes in the instruction teams, we are always [[complimented]] with the great [[progress]] we are making. I still find it incredible that people do not take [[advantage]] of this, when it is just a matter of time.

===='''''[[Experiment]]'''''====

Like any instructional [[program]], ours has [[experimental]] aspects. Your [[planet]] in general, being a [[decimal planet]], has many unusual features. But there is a great deal of [[variety]] even in the instruction teams that presently exist. Every one is a [[prototype]]. The major [[experimental]] feature in your [[group]] is one that I have referred to a [[number]] of times before, the experimental program of the small group substituting for extended [[family]] [[relationships]]. I spend a lot of time [[thinking]] about this. It is a little tricky to pull off because certain members of your group are pressing against the fences, ready to go. We have but to open the gate and they will be off and running. It is not to anyone's detriment that such a [[development]] should take place, but I felt it was my [[duty]] to keep the group somewhat rounded up, and not let everyone get strung out, like a [[caravan]] straggling across the [[desert]]. I have said before that while the [[group]] is not being held back in any way, we did not want the [[abilities]] of certain members to outstrip those of others. The [[capabilities]] of people have nothing to do with whether or not they are able to [[receive]] [[communications]] through direct [[mental]] [[contact]]. The [[abilities]] cut across all lines of [[definition]].

I still find it incredible that people do not take advantage of this, when it is just a matter of time.

I felt it was my [[duty]] to keep the people somewhat rounded up since there are those among you who still feel [[isolated]]. That is not [[necessary]], but people cannot help how they [[feel]]. It is part of being people. It is [[virtually]] the [[definition]] of [[humanity]]. So I did not want our [[group]] to get too spread out. I was worrying about that. That is really the concern that I took to [[Michael]]. He solved it all with two words, "I [[understand]]." I think I am closer now to understanding myself, so we will let the harsh comments that I had earlier go, and I will content myself with saying, [[the Father]]'s banquet is open. His hall has no doors in it. Begin walking. Once you do that, things will [[develop]] much quicker.

The capabilities of people have nothing to do with whether or not they are able to receive communications through direct mental contact. The abilities cut across all lines of definition.

Every one, most of all, myself, is astounded at the [[rapidity]] of the [[developments]] we have made up to this [[point]]. Across your world, [[things]] are moving quickly. The [[Melchizedeks]] are [[happy]]. [[Seraphim]] are happy. They have much to do. They are [[learning]] new tricks. We are all learning new things. You are all full of [[surprises]] for us. This is [[ironic]] because our [[training]] is extensive. When we begin our [[ministry]] on your world, we are [[surprised]] to find that very little [[proceeds]] according to the timetable. Yet we are all on track. [[Everything]] goes well.

You have heard many [[messages]] tonight. This [[stage]] of instruction involves two major areas. The first area is: [[God]] is [[active]] within every [[person]], therefore there is no reason to [[fear]] your brothers and sisters that you encounter in life. We have asked you before to take [[risks]], to bare your chest. It is not so bad when you [[think]] about God being on the other side. He has bracketed the field. You have no more to [[fear]] from your [[neighbors]] than they have to fear from you. What we are really asking is for you to take the first step. Our 1,2,3 [[exercise]] is coming to a close. Not long now and we will have a new assignment for you.

The second major aspect of our [[teaching]] at this [[point]] is the importance of [[the Father]]'s [[ministry]] through the [[Adjuster]] and the [[fact]] that we [[perform]] only some expeditious services on the [[periphery]] of that ministry. [[The Father]]'s [[personal]] [[ministry]] is the [[fundamental]] program for all [[the universes]]. After all, He has set all this in [[motion]]. [[Everything]] that exists [[reflects]] His hand at [[work]]. The scope of [[Creation]] is so vast that no mind but His can seriously entertain what His [[purpose]] is. We see but a glimmer of it and consider ourselves [[enlightened]] and lucky. We say to one another, "We have been allowed a glimpse of the [[divine]] [[plan]]," and we [[glow]] in [[gratitude]], yet it is but a grain of sand [[compared]] to the [[whole]] of His vast [[creation]]. By the time we all make it to [[Paradise]], we will know something. Therefore I [[encourage]] you, [[commune]] with [[the Father]] daily. No one in this room is doing anything more important than that. Set aside the time. Your lives are far too [[busy]]. You should begin [[resisting]] all this wasteful [[activity]], even if only for itself. But better than taking a [[rebellious]] [[attitude]], use the time profitably. There is no life [[wasted]] in [[contemplation]] of [[the Father]].

If you do not [[listen]], how will you ever hear His [[voice]]? So as you go through your daily [[duties]], look upon your brothers and sisters. Try to [[discern]] the [[Thought Adjuster|God-fragment]] in them. You can get close to that. Have no [[fear]] of crowding them in that regard. You [[remember]] two and three months ago when all of you sat around this table and [[thought]] to yourselves, "Why is it that life has little real [[meaning]]?" And now look at us all tonight. Now life has real [[meaning]], does it not? Now [[think]] about your brothers and sisters. They are now where you were then. They are all [[wondering]], "When is life going to begin for me?" Well, here is the answer: when you open up to that [[person]] and [[speak]] to him as if [[Jesus]] of [[Nazareth]] is standing next to you, and by your [[words]] and [[thoughts]] and every move, you are [[demonstrating]] to him that you perfectly [[understand]] his teachings, then you will have introduced that [[person]] to [[the Father]]'s [[banquet]] hall where the table is always set with delicacies that we do not even [[recognize]]. And the best part is, all of our friends will be there to enjoy it with us. It is not a [[lonely]] [[experience]]. We will all be [[together]] for [[eternity]].

Every one, most of all, myself, is astounded at the rapidity of the developments we have made up to this point. Across your world, things are moving quickly. The Melchizedek are happy. Seraphim are happy. They have much to do. They are learning new tricks. We are all learning new things. You are all full of surprises for us. This is ironic because our training is extensive. When we begin our ministry on your world, we are surprised to find that very little proceeds according to the timetable. Yet we are all on track. Everything goes well.

We will have a new [[exercise]] soon. We are all doing very well. I can say that with great [[confidence]] because I see the results of your attempts in your [[hearts]]. Be yourselves now. It is the best [[feeling]] that there is. Carry the good news of [[the kingdom]] to those whose lives are empty and full of [[hunger]]. As they gain [[perspective]], the [[light]] begins to grow. The [[flame]] cannot be extinguished. Take a [[chance]]. They will get in line on the sidewalk. They are all [[hungry]] for the [[good news]]. Give away all that you have daily; whenever you look for more, it will be there. Don't be afraid to tell the people. The [[message]] is not beyond their [[comprehension]]. With a little [[practice]], you will know who the [[seekers]] are at a glance. You already know many of them [[personally]]. So open [[conversation]] with them and [[share]] your [[understanding]] with them. [[The Father]] is at [[work]] all over the world. Suddenly the fruits of His labor are about to be [[known]]. We are on the brink of the most [[positive]] [[decision]] making [[opportunity]] ever presented to [[humans]]. With a minor [[change]] in [[perspective]], your country could live in a [[virtual]] [[paradise]].

[[The Father]] has stirred Himself. Sweeping [[changes]] are imminent. You are on the crest of a [[wave]]. Ride it all the way around the world to [[Paradise]].
