This volume is not the [[original]] [[composition]]. The original 100 copies, of Volumes 1 and 2 were created by [http://www.lightandlife.com/new/past_issues/trans.html Duane Faw], sometime after [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1994 1994]. This volume has been re-created by scanning the [[original]] printed [[document]]. The original bi-column format has not been retained, because in this [[modern]] international age, we have the [[ability]] to re-compose [[documents]] to different page formats and sizes, and the bi-column format does not lend itself well to that [[process]]. We have attempted to recreate this as closely as possible the [[original]]. [[Readers]] may note that spellings are not entirely "[[American]]", and this is the way of the [[original]]. We have added some punctuation, and corrected the small [[number]] of obvious [[typographical]] errors, and added hyphens, but with few exceptions, we have refrained from altering [[words]], even when word usage is strange. Thus, as far as possible, we have retained the "[[soul]]" of the [[original]].

MELCHIZEDEK: This is Prince [[Machiventa]]. You all know the [[history]] of the [[nefarious]] rebels who took [[control]] of this [[planet]]. In [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1984 1984] the [[Mercy]] Bank was [[rejected]] by [[Caligastia]] and [[Daligastia]]. They refused to [[repent]]. They are no longer. [[Caligastia]] was such a bitter being that he left behind this [[virus]] ([[AIDS]]) and other illnesses which he, being of such a [[brilliant]] [[mind]], designed. He would never give us the [[access]] so that we may effect some physical [[cure]]. He said: "If I cannot be [[Planetary Prince|Prince]] of [[Urantia]] then I will take the [[planet]] with me into the [[Darkness|blackness]]." But God's will is not for that to happen. This [[planet]] is a protected place as it is the [[birth]] planet of the human-divine [[Jesus]]. It will take us some time. We are approximating a thousand to two thousand years, to erase the [[evil]] that this [[insane]] [[being]] left behind as your [[legacy]]. But we will erase it, and your [[planet]] will be a beacon to all other [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Ascending_sons#40:5._MORTALS_OF_TIME_AND_SPACE ascendant mortals]. God's will is never hurtful or harmful to His little [[children]]. It is the will of [[the Father]] to [[heal]] his little ones, and many are being used to do so. We look in awe at the [[agondonters]] on [[Urantia]]. You are truly God's children. To build and [[maintain]] [[faith]] and [[God consciousness]] in the midst of such [[darkness]] is commendable. I have taken over by order of my God, [[Michael]] of [[Nebadon]]. This occurred when those two [[evil]] [[beings]] ceased to be. I am, and have been, officially ushered in as your [[Planetary Prince]]. We have a lot of [[work]] to do, but do not cast eyes downward. Cast eyes upward for the [[glory]] that will befall this [[planet]].

A: As far as direct [[personal]] [[effect]] from the opening of the [[circuits]], there is little. What has effected, though, is that each of your [[Guardian Angels]], the [[Midwayers]], all other [[celestial]] [[beings]] present on the [[planet]], [[teachers]], [[Life Carriers]], all now have direct and open [[communication]] with their associates in the far-flung [[universe]]. They are able to minister much better than before the [[circuits]] were re-established. That is not to say that the circuits of the [[Thought Adjusters]], the mind circuits of the [[Adjutant Mind Spirits]], and others, were not [[functioning]], no. But it does mean that some [[circuits]] that are used for the uplift of [[mankind]] are now re-established. As far as number is concerned, it is much more a [[function]] of number of [[facets]] on one [[circuit]] rather than the number of [[individual]] circuits. One circuit, though, that has been [[established]] that may have direct [[influence]] upon you, upon the [[teaching mission]], is the direct circuit with [[Michael]], Himself. It is a [[private]] circuit. He can, [[communicate]] directly with [[Urantia]] at any time.

[[Balance]] is a [[word]] with which you [[humans]] feel comfortable. You feel, perhaps, you know this [[concept]] well. As [[children]] you learned what the word is defined as, and you learned [[balance]]. For example, when riding a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle bicycle] without the training wheels. But you have not really learned [[balance]] as humans, individually, because your [[planet]] is so out of [[balance]]. So let us [[examine]] what balance really means to each of us and to the world. On a [[universal]] level, the first rule of balance is [[physical]]. There are [[dark]] islands, which exert [[balancing]] [[influences]] on physical [[matter]] in [[space]]. Without these islands entire [[universes]] would implode, explode, or simply leave. On [[Urantia]], in our [[local universe]], the [[Master Physical Controllers]] are in charge of the [[energy]] [[balance]], which keeps your [[planet]] afloat - rotating, spinning, revolving. Of course, the [[Isle of Paradise]] exerts a [[physical]] [[balance]] as [[the universes]] [[breathe]] inward and outward. Your [[scientists]] have recently [[discovered]] [[evidence]] of [[creation]]. They are on the right track but fail to grasp the [[concept]] of [[physical]] [[overcontrol]] of balance. Physically, [[Urantia]] is balancing even as you who live here perceive an imbalance, [[upheavals]], tidal floods, earthquakes, or volcanoes - are all [[physical]] [[signs]] of the rebalancing of the [[planet]].

As [[Urantia]] approaches [[Light and Life]] these [[physical]] [[manifestations]] will calm. So [[balance]] is first and foremost a [[physical]] [[phenomenon]].

Like a [[universe]], the [[physical]] may cause you to implode, explode, or simply float away.

It can whip up false [[emotions]] causing [[despair]], [[anger]], [[depression]], [[paralysis]], false [[enthusiasm]], euphoria, hysteria, [[fear]], phobic reaction. All are [[manifestations]] of a physical imbalance. Some you can correct. Others you must [[learn]] to live with and overcome mindally-[[spiritually]]. [[Simple]] things - proper rest, [[nutrition]], lack of [[abuse]] to your bodies - [[constitute]] the goal of [[physical]] [[balance]]. When your [[body]] is balanced you have the [[advantage]] in other areas. In our [[universe]], mindal, [[intellectual]], rational, [[thinking]] balance is achieved through a [[system]] - although different in [[degree]], upon every level - is basically the same. Of course [[perfected]] [[beings]] have no need for these considerations as they are created in [[perfect]] [[balance]] for that is what perfection is. We are more fortunate than they.

A: It is a useful [[emotional]] and [[psychological]] [[technique]] to be [[self]]-[[reflective]] and [[aware]] of one's life-[[actions]] in a spiritual [[light]]. It often helps one to [[recognize]] [[patterns]] of [[negativity]] and areas that need improvement. It is also emotionally a release from the [[past]]-[[guilt]] cleansing - to [[discuss]] this with another human who is non-judgmental and unconditionally [[accepting]] - loving of the present [[self]]. [[Confession]] is a more [[psychological]] [[tool]] than [[spiritual]]. Confession is not part of [[prayer]]. No, prayer - [[pure]] prayer - does not involve a request for the self, or even a request for one's fellows. [[Pure]] [[prayer]] as you border on to [[worship]] involves [[consciousness]] of the [[Divine]], which becomes [[worship]]. So, [[confession]] is not a spiritually pure [[tool]], but it does lead to more spiritual [[growth]]. It is not harmful, it is helpful for the human [[psyche]] and often leads to great periods of spiritual growth, but it is not a purely spiritual tool in and of itself. Does that answer?

This means that we see a fairly high percentage, compared to [[past]] ages, of [[persons]] who [[develop]] dementing [[diseases]], particularly [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alzheimers Alzheimers disease] and (multi?? infarct dementia?). In these disorders there's generally [[disease]] of the frontal and prefrontal areas, and one sees clinically disintegration of the [[personality]] as well as loss of capacity for [[self]] [[maintenance]]. Now there's a very great [[moral]] [[dilemma]] developing in western [[medicine]] presently about - is it right to keep such people alive? Because the expense of keeping them alive is very, very high. There is much [[grief]] in the [[family]] as these people become further and further detached from family and [[friends]] and [[reality]]. And these people seem to have much [[fear]], much [[pain]], and much illness in general. I [[wonder]] if you could comment on this, and - if you are allowed - if you could comment on how this would be handled on another world such as the one that you come from?

A: In the cases where the deterioration is in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontal_cortex prefrontal lobe] it is my [[opinion]] that the [[Adjuster]] has left. What is alive is a [[physical]] [[body]]. As for the [[ethics]] of maintaining life, it is irrelevant spiritually one way or another. In terms of my world we had in place a spiritualized and [[accepted]] [[ritual]] for [[graduation]] when the [[physical]] was an impediment to the [[spiritual]] [[soul]] [[growth]], which is, of course, the only [[eternal]] [[reality]]. When the [[mechanism]] housing the [[soul]]-[[Adjuster]] no longer [[functioned]], it was not of any consequence to terminate life. In [[fact]], it was a cause of [[celebration]], being [[The Father]]'s will that the [[soul]] move on to the next [[growth]] level. You down here have much more irrational and [[emotional]] reactions to this [[practice]] since - as a world - you do not truly [[understand]] what life is, and define it solely in terms of the [[physical]]. Now, some day on your [[planet]] things will even out. Your life [[capacity]], ideally, is approximately five hundred earth years. This will not be [[attained]] until the early stages of [[Light and Life]]. As you grow as a world spiritually, you will learn to temper life extension with [[actual]] life [[growth]] of the [[soul]]. And many [[diseases]] will be eliminated which interfere with the [[mind]]-[[soul]] [[connection]]. Until that time this [[topic]] will be reacted to irrationally and I can only [[pray]] for your [[enlightenment]] as a world [[culture]] since many [[mortals]] [[suffer]] needlessly, and suffer [[delays]] in their [[universe career]] because of the mere sentiment, which is attached to the [[material]] [[body]].

There must be no [[reflection]], no comments on this, it just must be.

===='''''[[Fear]]'''''====

Q: Rayson, I have a question. This concerns [[fear]] - [[human being]]s on [[Urantia]] [[experience]] this. There are a number of places in The [[Urantia Book]] where we are [[admonished]] not to be fearful. And there is also a place where [[savages]] on this [[earth]] were [[discussed]], and they were said to be quite fearful. Now, even in the condition we're in right now, which has advanced somewhat beyond the [[savage]] human point, there still is a great deal of [[fear]]. How does the condition of fear in man interrelate with [[connectedness]] to the [[Thought Adjuster]] and I guess, general [[faith]]?

How does the condition of fear in man interrelate with connectedness to the Thought Adjuster and I guess, general faith?
+
A: [[Fear]] is the biggest [[emotional]] [[barrier]] to [[Thought Adjuster]] [[communications]]: [[animal]] [[fear]] and [[anxiety]]. How to [[conquer]] this is a lifetime [[challenge]] and [[active]] job for the human. One, is by remembering what true [[reality]] is. True [[reality]] is [[spiritual]] [[reality]]. If you would [[examine]] the [[source]] of your [[fears]] you would find that they are rooted in the [[physical]], [[material]] realms. For example: will I have a job? Will I get ill? Will this [[action]] hurt me. Will I lose this [[person]]'s [[love]]? Will I look [[good]] to others? There is a [[difference]] between [[instinctual]] [[survival]] [[fears]] which are built into a [[species]] and easily surpassed as the [[race]] becomes more [[intellectually]] developed and fears that arises out of the unreality of [[ego]] and the [[material]], [[physical]] plain. The [[absence]] of [[fear]] equals [[love]]. The two cannot coexist in the human [[psyche]]. The more one [[loves]] the less one fears. It is not an easy task to accomplish, and indeed many [[mortals]] never accomplish this to any significant [[degree]] in this lifetime. Some extraordinary [[human being]]s do manage to, for the most part, to live without [[fear]], but these are generally humans with [[self-acting Adjusters]] and lives [[dedicated]] to the [[spiritual]] [[realities]].

Q: I have a follow-up question regarding the question about [[fear]], Rayson. Fear [[feelings]], and fear of feelings, could you address that for a [[moment]]? Someone is in the jungle and a tiger appears, perhaps [[fear]] might be [[healthy]] at that point, or maybe not maybe the [[adjutant mind spirits]] might be [[wise]] to get in [[touch]] with at that point. But is there a [[difference]] between fear of [[feelings]] and experiential fears?

But is there a difference between fear of feelings and experiential fears?
+
A: There are [[instinctual]] fears built into the [[physical]] [[being]] of the [[human]] which [[insure]] [[survival]]. The example you cited is one of them. If a [[human]] were to be [[attacked]] by an [[animal]] his fear would be wholly appropriate and probably life saving/preserving. The [[fear]] we discussed as an impediment to [[spiritual]] [[growth]] is more rooted in the [[psyche]] than in the [[instinctual]] [[reflex]] [[pattern]] which has been [[designed]] into you. These fears are not helpful, but may be categorized as fear [[anxiety]], and if examined closely, are more [[self]] involved, self serving, than outer directed - either at one's fellows or [[God]]. That is a broad base measuring stick. [[Fear]] of [[feelings]] is also not [[healthy]]. You have [[feelings]] as does every [[human]] and this is in the realm of [[material]] minded [[humanity]]. One should not be afraid to [[explore]] one's feelings, but should remember [[balance]] as given an example to you by the Divinely integrated life and [[personality]] of [[Jesus]] of [[Nazareth]]. Undue [[obsession]] with what you are [[feeling]] is not good. Neither is a [[repression]] - [[denial]] of what you feel. [[Examine]] your [[feelings]] for a period and then stop. Do not become mired in an [[abyss]] of [[self]] [[analysis]].

Q: Sometimes [[parents]] and grandparents develop apprehensions about what is going on in their [[children]]'s and grandchildren's lives, and mentally we know that we should leave that to the [[celestial]] [[beings]], and [[trust]] in [[faith]]. But this is the kind of [[fear]] that you are talking about that [[interferes]]?

+
A: No. Sometimes being loving can be misunderstood as being fearful. If you, as a loving [[parent]]-grandparent, are concerned then it is almost your [[responsibility]] to act as a vehicle for [[The Father]]'s [[love]] and concern. If approached from an [[unselfish]], concerned, loving, other-directed [[point of view]], the [[person]] you are talking to cannot help but to [[respond]] with a whole mind. How else are we to do [[service]] and [[reflect]] the actual [[love]] of [[God]] and Light into the world than through our own [[transforming]] [[actions]]. If however, your feelings are truly fearful, and not a [[measure]] of [[caution]] or concern, then you must [[pray]] to [[exorcize]] your [[fear]] and replace it with [[Divine]] [[love]]. (01/26/92)

Q: Ever since I was a little girl I have had [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nightmare nightmares] and [[sleep]] [[visitors]], a lot of old lady-looking people have appeared to me and scare me at night. It continues to this day. Is that [[real]] or is it a product of my creative [[imagination]]? Is it ever a universe [[visitor]] actually coming and trying to minister to me and I get scared and so they - I [[wake]] up and freak out. Recently I had three ladies visit me and I asked them who they were and they said that they were right hand of [[God]]. And I don't know, I just don't know how to [[react]] to that.

A: [[Fear]] is real, is a real [[emotion]], and also is a [[physical]] [[manifestation]]. On two levels it exists. Fear on a [[spiritual]] (level) is totally unreal. You, in your situation, I would suspect that the [[archetypes]] you are [[dreaming]], nightmaring about are deep-[[rooted]] from early [[childhood]]. There is the [[archetype]] of the old [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witch witch] in the [[collective unconscious]] of your [[species]]. I do not [[think]] that [[Divine]] Ministry would frighten you, (S). Perhaps the reply was partial [[Thought Adjuster]], the spiritual reply. But the [[images]] are created out of your own [[personal]] [[history]] and the [[collective unconscious]] of your [[species]]. Let us keep in [[mind]] that [[love]] is the [[absence]] of fear. [[Divine]] Ministry is [[love]]. And I will [[pray]] for you that love will overtake [[fear]] in your [[unconscious]] [[sleep]] state more and more, my daughter. (05/09/92)

Q: I've been leery for a long time, acutely [[aware]] of this [[process]]. The question I have is for me personally, and I've seen it in others, so I know that I'm in that tunnel. Sometimes there's [[light]] and sometimes there's not. The question I have is even though there's [[intellectual]] [[knowledge]] of and [[participation]] in this [[mission]], and there's all these things, and all this [[prayer]], there's still a great deal of [[fear]].
 +
===='''''[[Anger]]'''''====
 +
A: Do not be unhappy (S). You are much [[loved]] and cherished. Yes, your [[fear]] is a [[symbol]] of your [[spiritual]] [[growth]]. For you, (S) and I must take [[liberty]] and ask your [[pardon]] if I become too [[personal]] with you today in front of your [[peers]] - your [[response]] to [[love]] is [[anger]]. You have grown into [[fear]]. You suppress your fear and vulnerability with your anger. You have been upset. Do not be afraid. Be of [[good]] [[cheer]], my daughter. [[Eternity]] and the riches of [[the kingdom|the spiritual kingdom]] await your [[struggle]]. They are lying there at the end of your road. Keep your eyes open, for greatness lies ahead for you, (S), although you do not [[believe]] it. Allow yourself to be open to your [[terror]], to your [[uncertainties]], to your [[anxieties]], for only by acknowledging this will you overcome it. When [[exposed]] to the [[light]] of [[God]] your [[fears]] will melt away. But if you hide them always behind your [[anger]] they will seem even larger to you. My child, read "The Boy Who Was Afraid." Allow yourself to be [[lonely]]. Allow yourself to ask for help, not just [[celestially]], but of other [[humans]]. My daughter, you cannot [[control]] your inner [[environment]] nor can you control your outer. Your [[pain]] is greater because you try not to be hurt. You will not be severely crippled or damaged from the world, for you are [[spiritually]] intact, and what you are. But if you close up, you close off the [[knowledge]] accrued all along, celestially and humanly, you do not let this in to [[nourish]] your [[heart]]. Have the [[courage]] - it is [[time]] as you know - and I will [[guide]] you, and our [[prayers]] will be with you. Much [[rejoicing]], ……for your [[fear]], for that will bring you closer to your [[light]].
