WELMEK: Greetings to all of you. This is a day that we have been looking forward to for some time. It is truly our pleasure to be here today. It gives us great joy to see so many faithful in this group. I, Welmek, would first like to address your questions and then I have a few words.

LINDA B.: Welmek, this is Linda. I'd like to say this for the group, partly for myself, partly for the group. I have been thinking about this for days so you probably know it anyway; but I want it on record.

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]].

But especially the [[personality]] that has come through the most is [[Machiventa]]. I know you have been watching us; so you've heard me go around saying "Don't you just [[love]] him?" And I do. I am in terrible [[awe]] of him, but I [[think]] I love him even more. And I enjoy him so much, his sense of [[humor]], his exuberance and the way he can [[express]] things to Urantian [[minds]] that paints such vivid [[picture]] - the camps of [[Israel]] in the [[desert]] for instance. If I were an artist, I would have painted it. Ever since, I've thought of slacking off as disappearing back into the night sands.

Anyway, today we are all here, gathered around the campfire for the first time. I know I [[speak]] for all of us when I say we are [[humble]] and we feel very much [[loved]] and maybe a little [[scared]]. I do. We are so looking forward to knowing all of you. We already [[love]] you in general terms. I know we're going to [[love]] you much more as [[individuals]], not just as [[teachers]] but as [[friends]]. I am a little nervous to say this, but I'm really looking forward to a "Big Mac Attack". Thank you.

WELMEK: Your [[words]] are very [[beautiful]]. Many of us here gathered today are very [[touched]] by your [[thoughts]]. Your [[motivation]] is [[pure]] of [[heart]]. This is what [[the Father]] asks of all of you in seeking His will. We have no [[doubt]] that you will all be successful in your attempts to follow His [[leadings]] and do what He asks of you. There is much that awaits us all in the [[future]]. Do not be [[hesitant]] to ask our [[guidance]] for we are here for you all. It is also pleasing for us to have, as you say, a "Big Mac

Attack". His [[personality]] is very strong. His [[love]] permeates everyone who is with him.

DONNA: Could you elaborate on the distinction between the [[superconscious]] and the [[subconscious]]? In our [[scientific]] [[understanding]] of the superconscious could some of the things scientists have [[attributed]] to the superconscious be taking place on a subconscious level?

not aware of. It is that layer or part in which the [[Father fragment]] tries to [[adjust]] the spiritual [[thoughts]], [[insights]], direction, that [[the Father]] wishes you all to [[experience]]. The [[subconscious]] part of mind is that which deals with the lower or [[mundane]] parts of living. It is not always [[conscious]], but it is as though you are easier. You have more [[ability]] to tune in to that part of the mind.

DONNA: Could you elaborate on the distinction between the superconscious and the subconscious? In our scientific understanding of the superconscious could some of the things scientists have attributed to the superconscious be taking place on a subconscious level?

DONNA: In my [[meditation]], when I reach my [[stillness]], I [[learn]] things.  Also in the course of my day, I'll get a flash of [[insight]]. Is that the [[superconscious]] coming through or is that just my [[mind]]? Can the [[superconscious]]' presence be known in a [[conscious]] state?

WELMEK: The superconscious is that part of mind which humans are usually

WELMEK: Yes, if you are [[attuned]] to the [[adjuster]]'s [[leadings]]. The [[Adjuster]] acts as though he is reflecting [[thoughts]] to your mind. Your conscious mind can be, if [[trained]], made [[sensitive]] to these [[reflections]]. In time, if you continue to [[practice]] your stillness, you will become adept at [[understanding]] these things. There is no reason why [[humans]] (....) all of the leadings of their [[Adjuster]]. It has more to do with your

unwillingness to [[cooperate]]. There is little [[interaction]], correction, no [[interaction]]; if I understand your question about [[superconscious]] and [[subconscious]] between these two levels of mindal [[awareness]]. Always keep in mind that the [[superconscious]] level is that of [[Thought Adjuster|the spirit]]. The [[subconscious]] level is that of the [[animal]].

DONNA: In my meditation, when I reach my stillness, I learn things.  Also in the course of my day, I'll get a flash of insight. Is that the superconscious coming through or is that just my mind? Can the superconscious' presence be known in a conscious state?

DONNA: When our psychologists refer to the [[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.

DONNA: Thank you, that was very helpful. Thank you again for being here. I'm grateful for being a part of the wonderful phenomenon. We are fortunate to have you and your teacher friends among us. Thank you.
