L: In the [[Urantia Book]] there's just two phrases that I copied that mentioned more of a [[definition]], if you want to [[read]] those two, Scott.

D: Can I [[read]] the one before that? I [[think]] that's something that I really..."You are hardly worthy of [[the kingdom]] when your [[service]] consists so largely in an [[attitude]] of regretting the [[past]], whining over the [[present]], and vainly [[hoping]] for the [[future]]. Cease your useless yearning and go forth bravely doing that which concerns the [[establishment]] of [[the kingdom]]." ([[155:1 Why Do the Heathen Rage?|155:1.3]])

Happy are you when men shall revile you and [[persecute]] you and shall say all manner of [[evil]] against you falsely.

L: As [[humans]], there is not a great deal of affecting to be done. You will be more [[aware]] of [[the Son]]'s [[presence]] as you become more of a [[morontial]] life form. By the way, I have not introduced myself to you yet. My name is Lo-Kim. I too am a [[teacher]] here on [[your planet]]. It pleases me to be able to join you in [[this mission]] of [[seeking]] [[the Father]]'s will and following through with others.

A: Do you have any instructions as to how we can get ready?I, from my brief [[association]] with you, do not [[believe]] that any of you yet fully [[comprehend]] the significance of what is about to take place, for nothing quite like this has happened to you before. Be ready. It will be [[fascinating]].

L/K:As I understand, this will be for the most part, [[bestowal]] upon those who are in attendance. There will be a certain spill-over to the other members of [[groups]] who are willing to participate in [[this mission]]. However, as you already are [[aware]], there are two other [[visits]] by [[Melchizideks]] scheduled, and at those meetings this same [[energy]] will be applied. It is the [[purpose]] of this part of [[the mission]] to enhance all willing members' [[love]] and [[understanding]] as to what is going on.

L: I have a question regarding the [[bestowal]] of this increased spiritual [[energy]] or whatever, whether it's an increase in the [[Spirit of Truth]] or what, is this going to be bestowed only on those who attend this [[materialization]], or is it a general [[bestowal]] on [[the planet]] that we perhaps might be more [[aware]] of because we are trying to tune in to spiritual matters.The gift that is going to be bestowed in regards to a greater [[understanding]] [[love]], a greater [[courage]], if you will, should prove to be a valuable [[asset]]. It is in my [[opinion]], [[literally]] true, your lives will [[change]] once this [[event]] takes place. You will have more consciously entered [[the kingdom]] of heaven and you will more  consciously willing to realize the [[duties]] and [[privileges]] that go along with it. Already we have had [[opportunities]] within my universe to invite some [[Urantia]]n [[mortals]] who have [[fused]] to follow through with [[assignments]]. It has been [[curious]] and [[exciting]] to see these creatures work in the [[absence]] of those who are familiar with them, yet who have without reservation, complete and wholehearted [[faith]] and [[love]] in [[the Father]].

Why don't we end your [[meeting]], and then I wish to re-engage.It matters not what others think of you in regard to [[ridicule]] or [[persecution]]. As [[your text]] has told you, the truly [[courageous]] are those who lay down their lives not for [[sovereignty]] of nations, but for the [[reality]] and [[expression]] of [[the Father]]. Be ever concerned about the way in which you do things. It is [[courageous]] to live the life in the [[flesh]] while you [[experience]] [[God]].

W: And I am here to tell you tonight on behalf of the [[Melchizideks]] and [[Gabriel]] himself, that upon viewing the [[Melchizidek]] in April of this year, you will be reinforced with your [[courage]], with this [[Spirit of Truth]]. This is a gift that is being given to you to help you go forth to spread this good news. There are those who are [[curiosity]] seekers, this is true. We pray constantly for those who joined [[this mission]], that their [[faith]] will become firm, their [[hope]] and [[trust]] in [[the Father]] will become real in their daily living to the point that when you are called upon to [[share]] this [[love]], you will not hide behind the [[mask]] of [[uncertainty]] and [[doubt]]. You will step forth [[courageously]] in the light of [[truth]]. Always, my [[friends]], shield before you the love of the Father. Within this love, [[everything]] is possible and all [[truth]] will be known.

GROUP: Yes.W: It will be interesting for us to [[observe]] you to see what you have learned from this (?) [[association]]. [[Words]] are easy to speak, [[actions]] are more difficult to [[exhibit]]. He who said that we have yet to [[experience]] [[courage]] is accurate in [[this mission]]. Do you [[perceive]] that when the [[Spirit of Truth]] was [[bestowed]] upon those at the time of Christ, this added [[courage]], reinforced courage to their [[character]]?

D: I think it takes a certain amount of [[courage]] for people to read the [[Urantia Book]] and then to try to [[explain]] that to people who don't have the [[perspective]] that we get when we read it and to go against [[tradition]] and to try to share the [[truth]] with people who are unbelieving for whatever reason. I think that it really does take a fair amount of [[courage]] to remain [[faithful]] with [[ridicule]] or objections or whatever [[negative]] comments that are put forth. I think that everyone here exhibits a lot of [[courage]] just by coming here and in [[reading]] the book and being a part of this [[Teaching Mission]].

A: Well, just recently I got [[married]]. It was a giant leap of [[faith]] on my part because I didn't think I'd ever do it again ([[laughter]]). I understood it in my [[mind]], but my emotional body had experienced so much hurt in this world that [[trusting]] it was a real leap of faith.  And as I took the leap of faith, as I take it, I'm still in it, I find that gifts are being offered to me beyond my [[comprehension]], just way beyond. Just being here in this room is part of it. I call this externalization of the [[heirarchy]]. As I see it happening, it's just so exciting to me to be part of this. That's directly related to my ability to take the leap of [[faith]] which I consider this to be, by being here, it's an act of [[courage]].
