This is momentous for us too. It's the beginning of a new [[adventure]].  Ever since our first [[contact]] with [[Teaching Mission|this mission]] through some of [[Ham]]'s tapes, something has struck me very forcefully; and that is the [[difference]] between [[Teaching Mission|this mission]] and the [[Urantia Book]], which is [[personality]]. For over 20 years I've been [[inspired]] by the truth in the [[Urantia Book]], but since this [[mission]] began I [[realized]] that no [[book]] can love me, or care whether I succeed or fail or [[grow]], or pick me up again when I fall down and dust me off and get me going on [[the Father]]'s business again.

Through the [[study]] of the [[transcripts]] and tapes from [http://www.nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Category:TeaM other groups], we have already been a part of the mission, kind of. We have all in the last few months, have begun to feel the [[intensity]] of [[the Father]]'s [[love]] as we never have before, partly because of the urging to find the [[stillness]] and partly because of you and all the others on the [[Teacher Corps|teaching staff]] who have let us [[experience]] what the [[love]] of [[God]] feels like coming from a [[personality]] and not the pages of a [[book]].

We have [[learned]] to [[love]] you back, at least I have. I don't know you or anyone in the [[group]], but I already love [[Daniel]] for his sense of [[humor]], for the way he tries to use [[imagery]] and especially when he gets [[worried]] about being a wind bag, because I'm worried about that right now. I [[love]] [[Will]]. When she [[expressed]] sheer [[frustration]] when trying to deal with [[human being]]s and yet wanted so badly to [[understand]] us, I could have just hugged her. I don't know how to [[express]] it any other way. I know I'm going to love [[Welmek]] even more because I've already [[frustrated]] him. And Josephine. I love her for that [[gesture]] she made to me. I look forward to getting to know her much better in the [[future]]. I know she must be [[beautiful]].

DONNA: When our psychologists refer to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Id,_ego,_and_super-ego#Id Id], or our scientists refer to the [[moral]] [[leadings]] of the [[subconscious]], are they really referring to the [[superconscious]]?

WELMEK: The scientists of today do have some idea of the workings of the [[human mind]]. [[Moral]] [[choices]] tend to be from a [[superconscious]] [[leading]], but not aware of usually by the human at the time the choice is made. Many times humans have hunches, have [[insights]], have [[feelings]]. Some of these come from the [[superconscious]], while others come from the [[subconscious]]. It is not always easy for the human to distinguish the [[leadings]] until the human mind truly [[focuses]] on their [[spiritual]] side.

GINA: Thank you. I have some things I want [[clarified]]. While I don't [[meditate]], I have sometimes come to Urantia meetings, but in my spare time I don't [[read]] [[Urantia text|the book]]. My mother told me that when this all started that at night before she went to sleep she said to the [[Thought Adjuster]] or [[God]] that you can take over and do what you need to do to answer some of the [[questions]] that I have. If I do this maybe I'll get answers to the questions that I have for myself. I did this a few nights ago and I did receive something. I'm not sure if this came into my head or if my [[Thought Adjuster]] answered. I've been having some sort of [[frustration]] with my [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gymnastics gymnastics] and believing in myself that I can do it. What hit me was my coach told me that she [[believed]] in me. She believed that I could be whatever I wanted to be, do whatever I wanted to do. What hit me a few night ago is that I have to believe in myself first. Was that my [[imagination]] or was it my [[Thought Adjuster]]?

WELMEK: I cannot say the [[source]] of that particular [[thought]]. However, I would like to say that, and I would address this to the whole [[group]], you must first know [[God]] loves you. God knows you are capable of doing whatever you set your [[mind]] to. First [[accept]] that, then accept yourself for what you are. We all have shortcomings, we all have [[strengths]]. Do not be [[discouraged]] when you come across those things which frustrate you.  Always look inside first.
