The [[Teacher Corps|teaching staff]] have [[learned]] a great deal during the time of [[rest]]. First, the human [[faith]] is [[strong]], but [[applied]] faith tends to slip away in day to day [[pressures]] and [[stresses]] of life. It has occurred to greater and lesser [[degrees]] in each of our [[spiritual]] [[family]], and has been inconsistent in each [[individual]]. We thank [[The Father]] for this time of [[learning]] from Him, for we have [[realized]] that perhaps we started on too mindally high a level, and we are [[grateful]] to learn from our mistakes. So we have been busy rewriting and revising the syllabus. At our core of caring is your [[spiritual]] [[growth]]. Secondary is to turn out [[wonderful]] truth-[[teachers]] and living spiritual brothers and sisters, beacons of [[light]] and [[love]] to draw others to [[God]]. You are really already that, but you can become even more so. And this we [[wish]] to help you with. This is not a [[criticism]] for you truly, children, are the light on this [[planet]]. There are many others like yourselves, but you are my flock and I am [[proud]] of each of you and love each of you, ceaselessly. It is hard to fully [[understand]] the human [[existence]], so we make [[errors]]. But this is a great [[adventure]] for all sides, non-corporeal and [[material]] [[beings]] alike, reaching across [[time and space]], holding hands spiritually in a great quest for spiritual advancement. We all advance through this teamwork, this [[wonderful]] [[blessing]] and [[miracle]] that [[Michael]], acting for our [[Universal Father]], has [[permitted]] to occur here on this special [[planet]], [[blessed]] and distressed by so much evolutionary [[anomaly]]. Another chapter in the unwritten [[book]] of [[growth]], no one having a [[model]] for the outcome, guessing, rethinking, living, giving to [[the Supreme]] the most rare of [[experiences]]: a [[cooperative]] effort between worlds, between spirits, between ascenders.

For us it is so exciting! We are so conscientious to make the best [[effort]] as we are [[aware]] of mistakes in the past and the [[repercussions]] in your own lives. We [[wish]] no harm to come to you or your [[friends]]. Enough hurt has been left in the [[legacy]] of [[Caligastia]], to last many, many lifetimes. We wish to be the correctors. We wish to offer our [[experience]] and [[love]] and [[inspiration]] to you [[humans]] who have such a [[difficult]] walk in the [[flesh]]. Even [[the Master]], Himself, had times of great [[distress]]. The human form is incapable of unlimited [[perception]], and thus seen on the smallest [[fragment]] of [[reality]], is easily discouraged and pushed into [[despair]], [[isolation]], [[anger]], [[loneliness]].

But be not [[anxious]], for great [[tools]] are yours. Great love is yours. [[Our Master]]-Creator, [[Michael]] of [[Nebadon]], personally looks after [[Urantia]]. He loves all His [[creatures]] but you are especially beloved by this great [[Creator]]. His mercy extends to every being but His [[mercy]] is especially tender towards you. [[Michael]] is [[wise]], patient, loving, [[good]], [[beautiful]], [[truthful]] and the way to [[The Father]]. He will never fail you no matter how many times, humans, you may fail yourself. Faltering on the [[path]] is part of [[Growth]]. And now we will put this period to good constructive use, the clay to mold the art from. And [[together]] we will create [[goodness]]. [[Together]] we will create a [[glory]] to [[Michael]]. We will rededicate our wills to this [[purpose]]: to doing and [[discerning]] the will of the [[Universal Father]], to loving and [[worshiping]] [[God]], to reflecting [[God]]'s love in our daily lives, to serving our fellows with more [[love]] and [[understanding]], and to serving ourselves with [[self]]-[[love]], [[forgiveness]], [[acceptance]] of our [[flaws]], and a true strong spiritual [[attitude]] that we are [[children]] of the most benevolent, [[merciful]], and loving God - [[Michael]] of [[Nebadon]] - and his partner, the Universal [[Mother Spirit]].
