Various [[questions]] and answers including [[personality]], [[materializations]], Will’s [[home]] [[sphere]], and more.
 
===Opening===
 
===Opening===
WILL: The love of God surrounds us. The power of God upholds us. The love of God enfolds us. Wherever we gather, He is. Greetings, I am Will. It is pleasant for me to see you all again in this situation. It is good that things are working out with some variety. Are there questions?

JUDY: Good evening Will, this is Judy. I wish to ask about the formation of personality. My concept has always been that personalty was shaped by environment, like families and experience and reflection on experience and added to that some maturity. Some of the teachings of Ham, however, have led me to believe that personality is more pre-determined by the Father. I understand that personality is unique, but I thought I had more of a role in shaping it. Can you help me understand personality formation better?

WILL: Personality is a gift from God. It is the raw material. From that raw material, we build what you would call character. There is no particular border between the area of character and personality. Since one grows from the other as the root, as the tree springs forth from the roots. [Pause] Eric is nervous about answering questions. Personality is a spirit phenomenon. When the Father bestows a gift in this fashion [pause] sorry, he is embarrassed-When the Father bestows a gift of love in the form of personality, what the creature does with that gift amounts to what you call character. In the past when a human acted, the personality sprang forth just as naturally as water exiting the ground and becoming a stream. Layer upon layer of social restrictions and formulations have caused the self-reflection mechanism to focus closely upon the response to the urges that a person feels which are rooted in his personality or her personality. Step by step, the human builds upon the reactions which are co-equal with the leadings of the personality and his own simultaneous reactions to the leadings of that personality. Although it is possible for a human to direct his own personality, in general many years are required for character to overbalance the power of the personality originally bestowed by the Father. Those mortals with strong conscious will power may have a greater hand in forming themselves than a more typical creature of their own. Does that answer?

KATHY: Will, this is Kathy. My [[mother]] and I have always been closely [[aligned]] in our [[spiritual]] [[outlook]] and goals and for several years, she has been under the [[counseling]] of a celestial teacher named Physician in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gainesville,_FL Gainesville, Florida]. His teachings are [[harmonious]] with your teachings except for the [[belief]] in [[reincarnation]]. My mother would like some [[clarification]] as to why there is this important [[difference]]?

WILL: Your [[mother]] has made great [[progress]] along the [[path]]. There is no [[justification]] for teaching the [[doctrine]] of [[reincarnation]]. It is not the [[word]] of her teacher. She clings to a notion of a [[spiraling]] [[deity]] whose circular tracks are so close to one another that they are virtually indistinguishable. This is very close to a legitimate view of one of the [[facets]] of [[the Father]]. Eric is slowing the delivery of this [[message]] for he is unfamiliar with the [[topic]] matter. [[The Father]] [[emanates]] love in a radial wave pattern that circulates in [[harmony]] with the [[superuniverses]]. Your [[mother]] is [[sensitive]] to this directional [[force]]. From this sensation she has extrapolated a continuous circular [[motion]] which, in itself, is true. It is not the entire picture. She is close to [[perceiving]] a [[reality]] aspect of [[the Father]]. Next question?

VINCENT: This is Vincent, Will. I have a couple of [[questions]] from the [[group]]. First of all, I gave the [[transcripts]] to a guy named [www.world-destiny.org/ Ernest Moyer]. We would like to know if that was a mistake, and secondly, we would like a little bit more [[information]] on the January meeting and on the December 9th happenings in Utah. Especially whether [[Gabriel]] will himself visually [[appear]] in front of that [[group]].

WILL: [[Gabriel]] will indeed appear. He has strong [[words]] for the people who will be assembled to hear, although many will have their ears closed. Some from unwillingness, others from [[skepticism]], yet others will [[embrace]] his [[words]] wholeheartedly. It will be a [[modest]]- sized [[meeting]]. Few among your group are interested in actually going to this meeting, although the [[concept]] is provocative and it will certainly be [[entertaining]]. The demands for careful [[discussion]] will be taxing on those who are present. Most of the [[stress]] involved will be due to the [[appearance]] of [[Gabriel]] himself, for he is a [[powerful]] [[being]] and his [[words]] are equally powerful. For those of your [[group]] who elect to attend, take care to avoid ensnaring the lives of your brothers and sisters in a [[Drama|theatrical]] [[event]].

The man to whom you mailed your paperwork is cautious enough to stand by and wait. He spontaneously felt the fact that much is afoot these days. It was taking an unnecessary chance to expose your group prematurely to the close inquiry of others who have little to gain but may wreak much havoc with the internal harmony between you gathered here tonight. Next question.
