WELMEK: Greetings to all those who have gathered here this evening. This is Welmek, your [[teacher]] and guide.

===Announcement===

−

I have an [[announcement]] I wish to make. I will not be with you for two of your weeks. I have been asked to [[visit]] our [[Creator Son|Creator]] on the capital, [[Salvington]]. I am looking forward to this, as you can [[imagine]]. I have somewhat of an [[agenda]], and I will also have time for [[rest]] and to [[visit]] this sphere. I have never been there before, so again, as you can [[imagine]], my [[anticipation]] grows day by day. I will take leave of [[your planet]] in two days. I [[wish]] to let you know that there will be several who will be [[in charge]] and speak to you over the course of your next meetings. [[Norsen]] will be in charge, and I have been [[advised]] that there will be several guests who will be here with you and deliver [[messages]] to you. I will give you whatever I can upon my return as to what has happened. I [[doubt]] if I will be able to [[share]] much, but I [[understand]] your need to know and I will share with you as I am [[permitted]] to. We have several guests with us this evening; and if time [[permits]], we will invite them to address you. However, I would like to [[engage]] in what our teacher last week asked us to.

Q. I really couldn't pick out a [[favorite]] paper because I don't know [[the book]] well enough, so what I did, I'm in the [[process]] of reading [~~http~~://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=UB#Part_IV._The_Life_and_Teachings_of_Jesus the Jesus papers]. The next paper that I was on was [[Paper 131]], which was [~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_religions the world religions]; and when I looked at this, I thought "Wow, I'm going to skip this." You know I thought it was going to be full of [[facts]] and this is really what I'm going to do. But I was really [[happy]] that I did. [[Jesus]] and [[Ganid]] had gone to [~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library_of_Alexandria Alexandria to the library] and looked up all the different [[religions]]; and they found some similarities in these religions and this is what they wrote about. What came to me out of these papers was the [[fact]] that [[God]] being the [[Almighty]], and as [[wondrous]] and larger than we can even [[imagine]], yet He is [[active]] in our lives. He is with us all the [[time]], and He is within us all the time. He is truly our best [[friend]]. I have always known, I have always said that [[God]] is everywhere, but now I really [[realize]] that He is active in my life, that all I need do is ask Him. All I need do is have [[faith]] and to reach inside of myself and He is there to [[guide]] me. A couple of things here...it says "The [[Most High]] is like a loving [[father]] and [[mother]]; he really [[loves]] us, his [[children]] on [[earth]]. Our [[God]] will [[forgive]] us and guide our footsteps into the ways of [[salvation]]. He will take us by the hand and lead us to himself." It just made me [[realize]] that He is here, that He is with us, and with me and that no one [[loves]] me more than He does. If I need [[guidance]], all I need to do is ask Him and He's there for me. And it really brought it [[home]] for me, even though I [[think]] I've always known it, now it's more of a [[realization]] for me.

A. And so it is with your [[soul growth]]. As you become more [[aware]] of this [[fact]], day by day, you will [[literally]] begin your [[morontial]] career. It is an everlasting [[truth]] that [[our Father]] is [[literally]] with us, no matter where we go or what we do.

Line 23: Line 24:

Q. Welmek, my name is Stan. I [[thought]] this week about my favorite paper. I think probably over the last 10 years, the paper I've probably read the most would be [[Paper 47]] on the [[mansion worlds]]. I think that in my [[mind]], the highest [[truth]] or most real truth to me is [[personality survival]], that in spite of [[everything]] that happens on [[this planet]], it's just beginning.

−

A. There is no [[question]] to this [[fact]]; for it is [[literally]] true that you all have your beginning here. Through [[faith]], you will be [[saved]]; and by [[fusion]] with [[Thought Adjuster|your spirit]], you will be [[literally]] [[eternal]] in actual [[experience]]. It is indeed a [[wonderful]] gift that [[our Father]] has [[bestowed]] upon all of us, the [[possibility]] of [[surviving]] the flesh. As you [[realize]] this concept more fully in your daily life, [[death]] no longer seems to be such a terrible or [[horrible]] [[experience]]. You grasp that it is [[simply]] a [[transition]] from one [[phase]] of [[existence]] to another. [[Encourage]] your [[brothers and sisters]] with this [[thought]], that life indeed can be everlasting. It is also interesting to [[compare]] your style of [[witnessing]] [[death]] compared to such a [[planet]] as mine, where on my world in our [[temples]], we gather together in [[celebration]] as one of our family transits to the [[morontial worlds]] as they [[fuse]] with [[their spirit]] on the world itself. In time your world will [[experience]] this also. For now, the [[grief]] that is [[experienced]] at [[death]], while it is true there is a certain sadness at the loss of one's [[association]], you should [[rejoice]] in the [[fact]] that this [[person]] now moves toward a greater and even more [[adventurous]] [[goal]].

===='''''[[Jesus]]'''''====

Q. It's also hard to find a favorite paper. But I turned to the last paper, "[[Paper 196 - The Faith of Jesus|The Faith of Jesus]]", because it contains one of my favorite one-liner quotes and that is "Of all human knowledge, that which is of greatest value is to know the religious life of Jesus and how he lived it."([[196:1 Jesus-The Man|196:1.3]]) I guess over time more and more of that becomes more deeply [[impressed]] upon my [[mind]]. It's a powerful [[statement]] to say "of all human [[knowledge]]". Also, just in [[reading]] that paper, to look at what he went through on this world and to see the undaunting [[faith]] and [[trust]] that he had in [[the Father]], to get through all that he did, to me is very [[inspiring]].

Line 33: Line 35:

A. Does anyone in this [[group]] feel that this is something that you cannot [[achieve]] in your lifetime? (some group [[laughter]] and comment) I will tell you that each of you are capable in [[relative]] [[degrees]], in achieving both a [[balance]] in your life as well as a [[faith]] that will [[transcend]] that which you now have. As you [[progress]] on your [[journey]], as you [[practice]] those things which you are now practicing, in time these things will become more apparent to you. And as you become more [[aware]] of the [[reality]] of the teachings that you have heard [[our Master]], myself and others [[share]] with you, you will be drawn even more into a [[consciousness]] of this saving [[faith]] and of [[gracious]] living. Do not ever let anything keep you from what you have started if you truly [[wish]] to know Him more fully than you do now. As I have told you, if you do this, many things will be added to you; and you will truly find that [[peace]], [[happiness]] and [[joy]] that you now seek.

===='''''[[Power]]'''''====

−

Q. Welmek, I took the paper "[[Paper 143 - Going Through Samaria|Going Through Samaria]]". [[Jesus]] and the [[apostles]] left [[Jerusalem]] and headed for [[Samaria]]; and the apostles were having a hard time with this because they had [[prejudice]] against the [[Samaritans]]. They were beginning to [[work]] that out, and then they went on to a couple of [[cities]] where they were addressing [[Greeks]] and [[Romans]]. The Greeks and Romans were not taking them seriously. They were pretty upset about this. The [[Greeks]] and [[Romans]] seemed to tell them that even though they liked [[Jesus]], they really couldn't live a life like Jesus because this was a life for weaklings. So the [[apostles]] went to [[Jesus]], [[complaining]], and I would like to [[read]] what [[Jesus]] told them, the beginning of what he told them. Somehow it seemed to strike a [[chord]] with me because, to me, it is what we're going through right now. It says "I have come into this world to [[do the will of my Father]] and to reveal his loving [[character]] to all [[mankind]]. That, my brethren, is my [[mission]]. And this one thing I will do, regardless of the misunderstandings of my teachings by [[Jews]] or [[gentiles]] of this day or of another [[generation]]. But you should not overlook the [[fact]] that even [[divine]] [[love]] has its severe [[disciplines]]. A [[father]]'s [[love]] for his son oftentimes [[impels]] the father to restrain the unwise [[acts]] of his thoughtless offspring. The child does not always [[comprehend]] the [[wise]] and loving [[motives]] of the father's restraining [[discipline]]. But I [[declare]] to you that my Father in [[Paradise]] does rule a [[universe of universes]] by the compelling [[power]] of his [[love]]. Love is the greatest of all [[spirit]] [[realities]]. [[Truth]] is a [[liberating]] [[revelation]], but [[love]] is the [[supreme]] [[relationship]]. And no matter what blunders your fellow men make in their world [[management]] of today, in an [[age]] to come the [[gospel]] which I [[declare]] to you will rule this very world. The [[ultimate]] [[goal]] of human [[progress]] is the [[reverent]] [[recognition]] of the fatherhood of God and the loving [[materialization]] of the brotherhood of man."([[143:1 Preaching At Archelais|143:1.4]])

A. And so it is, as we who have [[volunteered]] to come here to help you to [[understand]] in your daily life, the [[meaning]] of what has just been [[read]]. [[Our Master]] clearly [[understood]] his [[purpose]] and his [[relationship]] to his Father. Now you are so charged to do the same. You can do it, and I have [[confidence]] in all of you that you will do it. It must take [[effort]], it must take [[practice]], it must take [[dedication]] on your part. Go forth each day with this [[thought]] in your [[mind]] about the [[fatherhood]] and the [[brotherhood]] as you have just heard, and soon your lives will be [[transformed]]. You will live a life [[dominated]] by [[love]], [[motivated]] by [[truth]]-[[sharing]] and a life as [[Jesus]] himself lived, where many sought him out and found [[comfort]] within his [[presence]].

===='''''[[Individual]]'''''====

Q. Welmek, I was [[studying]] the paper on " [[Paper 5 - God's Relation to the Individual|God's Relation to the Individual]]" and the [[theme]] of that paper I also enjoy in many of the other papers throughout [[the book]]; but this seemed to be more [[focused]] in one direction than any place, very similar to what Karla had mentioned before that with her [[recognition]] of the [[religions]] of the world that [[God]] is not far off, but has done everything in His [[power]] to make His [[love]] [[personal]] through His [[Adjuster]] and through the [[communion]] with [[Michael]]. It's a [[personal]] [[relationship]]; and through the everyday affairs that are governed by the [[personalities]] of the [[Infinite Spirit]]. It's very comforting to have such a vast [[ministry]] with yours added, to enrich our lives and give us a sense of [[direction]] and guide us in the [[paths]] of [[service]].

Line 45: Line 48:

Q. Welmek, I couldn't pick a favorite paper either. I have a lot of favorite parts of [[the book]]; but one thing they all seem to have in common, or most of them, is that they are a [[practical]] [[application]] in everyday [[language]] of the [[truths]] in the book, for instance, "[[As Jesus Passed By]]" or the religion papers that Mary talked about. There's a section in paper "[[Paper 156 - The Sojourn at Tyre and Sidon|Sojourn at Tyre and Sidon]]" that I go back to on a regular basis because [[Jesus]] is trying to [[explain]] . . I guess he's trying to put what he's teaching into a way the [[apostles]] and [[disciples]] can look at themselves and see if they've made any [[progress]]. I can't read the whole thing here but I guess this would sum it up.."Are your [[ideals]] sufficiently high to insure your [[eternal]] [[salvation]] while your [[ideas]] are so [[practical]] as to render you a useful [[citizen]] to [[function]] on [[earth]] in [[association]] with your [[mortal]] fellows?"([[156:5 Jesus' Teaching at Tyre|156:5.16]]) If you [[read]] the section, for me it's a way of saying, "Well, am I doing any better?", I guess because I'm a [[practical]] person, and if I'm going to have a [[revelation]] of [[truth]], I have to be able to use it, or it really doesn't have the [[meaning]] for me I guess, that it should.

===='''''[[Effort]]'''''====

−

A. And so it is now with all of you. You have [[read]] this [[text]], some of you for many years, yet the [[truth]] rang only softly. Now in your lives you are beginning to [[witness]] more of the [[reality]] of what has been already given to you. It is time for each one of you here this evening, in your own way, to take up the [[challenge]] and to move forward in your life. As I have said, never let anything get in the way of this [[goal]]. If you truly [[wish]] that which you are seeking now, by this [[consecrated]] [[effort]] on your part, it will be [[attained]]. It is not [[wishful thinking]] that will [[achieve]] it; it is hard [[work]]. But you must [[trust]] me when I tell you, for I have already [[fused]] with [[my spirit]], that there is hardly anything that I can [[compare]] this [[experience]] with. All of the hard [[work]] that I put forth in [[achieving]] this [[fusion]] was nothing in [[comparison]] to the reward that I received upon such [[fusion]]. Know that [[our universe]] is filled with [[love]] and that you have [[everything]] to look forward to. Be not [[discouraged]] when you find yourself at times where you feel [[disappointed]] because you have not lived up to that which you seek, to these [[ideals]] or [[goals]]. Simply gain [[control]] of yourself once again, re-[[think]] what you did, [[learn]] from the [[experience]] and rededicate yourself to the will. You will not ever be [[forsaken]]. You will never be lost. You will be led in this [[direction]] more fully by [[the spirit within]], and as time goes on, this spirit will, in more or less terms, be able to [[communicate]] directly to your [[mind]].

I remember my very first encounter with my [[Thought Adjuster|own spirit]], as far as a [[conscious]] [[communication]]. While I had much [[training]] that led me in this [[direction]], I must admit that I was still somewhat startled by this [[occasion]]. I was also [[comforted]] in the fact that indeed, [[everything]] that I knew and felt was now becoming [[real]]. And so it will be with you. The [[love]] that I felt by this [[communication]] is beyond my [[ability]] to communicate to you; but yet I know in your [[hearts]] you glimmer an [[understanding]] of such [[love]]. [[Rejoice]] in the [[fact]] that you are alive. Rejoice in the fact that [[the Father]] [[loves]] you and that you are all [[children]] of this Father. It is truly a [[wondrous]] time to be alive on [[your planet]], for there is so much that you can do to help your [[brothers and sisters]].

+

===='''''[[Self Realization]]'''''====

Q. One of my favorite papers is the [[Rodan]] papers. There is so much in that paper about how we can live our daily lives. The thing that rang fresh in my [[heart]] was taking those strivings that are really high [[ideals]] and incorporating them into a daily way of life and making that into a [[religion]]. That was just so [[appealing]] to hear after [[struggling]] with the organized [[religions]] for so many years, to [[read]] that again with a new eye. It's what everyone has been saying tonight. There's a thread of commonality, that [[struggling]] for the [[ideal]], that [[faith]], to feel the love, to know with faith what you can [[attain]]. It just made a very deep [[impression]] on me, that we can live our [[religion]] every day.

Line 61: Line 65:

Q. I think a lot of times, too, you know something but it's kind of put on the back burner. I mean, just like I said I knew that [[God]] was everywhere and God was within me, but I never really knew how to [[actualize]] that. I don't know. It just seems that your [[presence]] has helped me to make that more a [[reality]] in my life.

−

Q. The other thing, too, Welmek, is you know, you go up and talk with [[Michael]], and I'm not sure whether you talk to [[the Father]] or not, but you bring back [[messages]] from him, from [[Michael]], and I think that helps all of us because at least we have something that we can hang onto or something new that [[touches]] all of us, not tangible, but something that we can all look forward to, a new [[message]], a new [[hope]], something to raise our spirits. I think that's why, you know I've begun opening up since I've been here. I [[think]] that's why all of us began to open up and be more [[aware]] of one another and more loving, because there is something here. We don't have the same things we've had since the first time we went into [~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunday_school Sunday school] or to adult Sunday school drummed into us, beat into us and threatened into us. Yet we find when Welmek came here with all the [[messages]] and that, we found [[love]] and [[understanding]] and not the [[prejudice]] that's in each [[church]] or each [[home]] or anything else.

===='''''[[Teaching Mission]]'''''====

Q. But even in the [[Urantia Book]] you get an [[intellectual]] sense of the [[love]] and the [[faith]], and intellectually you know it; but it really takes something a little bit more of a [[personal]] [[nature]] to really feel it in your [[heart]].

Line 99: Line 103:

Q. Welmek, it seems to me that you're pointing out to us the importance of us going out into our world and [[modeling]] to others what you're modeling to us.

−

Q. And another thing too, is I [[feel]] so much [[love]] from you, [[radiating]] from your [[words]]. And it's an [~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconditional_love unconditional love] and you know we've only just met, and I know that you have been watching us and [[studying]] us for a while. But for you to [[love]] us as much as the love that I sense from you without really even knowing us really helps me anyway, to love my b[[~~rothers~~ and sisters]] on this planet that I don't really know.

But for you to [[love]] us as much as the love that I sense from you without really even knowing us really helps me anyway, to love my [[brothers and sisters]] on this planet that I don't really know.

Q. I [[understand]] Welmek's question, why did it take his [[revelations]] to move us in the [[direction]] that.. there's no additional [[knowledge]], there's no additional [[truths]] that he is portraying to us than is already there and that we had already [[read]]. If I ask myself in my own [[mind]] why I did not act upon these [[truths]] before this, I simply can't come up with a reason. I feel like I've faltered in the [[fact]] that those [[truths]] were there, we knew them, but in [[fact]] it was [[knowledge]], it wasn't really [[truth]]. I'm [[thinking]] indeed it's unfortunate that it took this type of [[revelation]] to [[inspire]] us to live and to [[practice]] the will of [[the Father]].

A. Do not look at it as unfortunate. For [[your planet]] has experienced so many deviations from the [[norm]] that indeed the [[opposite]] is true. It is fortunate that we are here and able to help you in this regard. It is not so much your lack of [[desire]] that kept you from [[the Father]] as it is your real [[motivation]] to do this every day in a way that you can [[understand]] and [[appreciate]]. While it is true that [[everything]] you need in [[relationship]] to [[our Father]] and this [[understanding]] is contained within [[the text]], there are levels of [[understanding]] this book beyond which you now [[comprehend]]. Part of what I can do is help bridge that gap, along with the [[fact]] that the [[reality]] of my [[experience]], whether you wholeheartedly [[believe]] it or not does not matter, the [[fact]] that there is so much [[spiritual]] [[energy]] now being [[Spiritual Pressure|pressured]] upon [[this planet]] also [[facilitates]] your [[receptivity]] to these [[truths]]. There are other [[factors]] involved which I cannot elaborate on. In [[response]] to the [[idea]] of modeling, I could not have said it any better myself. But in order to be a [[model]], you must first have all of your [[thoughts]] and [[emotions]] [[balanced]], not as a [[perfect]] being such as [[our Master]] was, but better than what you have [[achieved]] now. This does not mean that you should not go out and do the best that you can, but it does mean that you must pay [[attention]] to yourself. You must become well-grounded in the [[truths]] which you are now beginning to [[understand]]; and as you do this, as I have said and others have said, the [[light]] will surely shine within you and will [[literally]] [[attract]] many to you. Let us [[proceed]] with the next comment on our [[assignment]].

===='''''[[Reserve Corps]]'''''====

−

Q. My favorite paper is the [[114:7 The Reserve Corps of Destiny|reserve corps of destiny]]. This concerns "living men and women who are admitted to the special service of the superhuman administration of world affairs."([[114:7 The Reserve Corps of Destiny|114:7.1]]) They are chosen from each [[generation]] as soon as they are competent and trustworthy to [[assume]] their [[responsibilities]]. This is such an [[exciting]] and such a [[blessing]] that it has become my favorite paper to read. The greatest [[truth]] I [[perceived]] here is the [[statement]] that [[Urantia|our isolated world]] has not been forgotten in the [[councils]] of [[the universe]]. "[[Urantia]] is not a [[cosmic]] [[orphan]] stigmatized by [[sin]] and shut away from [[divine]] watchcare by [[rebellion]]."([[114:7 The Reserve Corps of ~~Destiny114~~:7.14]]) To me this is the greatest [[truth]] as we have already been informed by Welmek that [[organizations]] have been set up on [[Urantia]] to speed up [[evolution]] and make tremendous [[changes]], that millions of superior [[beings]] are already here for that [[purpose]]. [[Machiventa]] is coming back in the [[flesh]] to oversee these [[changes]], and [[Jesus]] is making his [[Second Coming|second appearance on earth]]. Also he has told us that these [[activities]] have been in [[preparation]] for a long time.

Also he has told us that these [[activities]] have been in [[preparation]] for a long time.

A. Some [[challenge]] the [[authenticity]] of [[this mission]] by the [[fact]] that you are mustered into this [[Reserve Corps|corps]]. I would tell you that anyone on [[your planet]] or any [[Isolated worlds|planet in isolation]] who wholeheartedly chooses to [[do the will of the Father]], while this [[actualizing]] may be imperfect, is indeed granted their own [[guardian angels]]. For it is the [[desire]] of [[our Father]] as well as [[Michael]] to [[encourage]] the [[mortal]] of these realms to further advance in [[spiritual]] [[understanding]], not only with [[God]] but with their [[brothers and sisters]]. If you as [[parents]] had children who [[dedicated]] themselves to pursue any [[course]] of [[activity]] that was [[noble]] and worthwhile, would you not help as [[wisely]] and as much as you could? Why then [[expect]] anything less from [[our Father]]? Just because you may [[think]] that there are only a select few who may be asked to join [[Reserve Corps|this corps]], in no way whatsoever [[validates]] their [[rejection]] of what is happening now. There is no [[mystery]] about this [[reserve corps of destiny]]. [[Humans]] are as I have [[perceived]], so inclined to make more out of that which really is. While it is true for many of your years there were only a few that were mustered into [[Reserve Corps|the corps]] for certain reasons, things have [[literally]] changed. There is much need of your help; and as a result, as well as a reward, you are given this additional [[ministry]].

Line 111: Line 116:

Q. Welmek, I had a hard time picking just one paper. The one [[focus]] I had is from the "[[Personality Survival]]" paper. I think the last paragraph probably sums it up, what's most important to me: "True it is, you mortals are of earthly, animal origin; your frame is indeed dust. But if you actually will, if you really desire, surely the heritage of the ages is yours, and you shall someday serve throughout the universes in your true characters--children of the Supreme God of experience and divine sons of the Paradise Father of all personalities."([[112:7 Adjuster Fusion|112:7.19]]) I feel like in my life my biggest [[grief]] has been not [[feeling]] like I've been able to fully live my true [[character]] and it's [[inspiring]] to think that I'll have that [[opportunity]] if I don't [[succeed]] here.

+

===='''''[[Growth]]'''''====

A. Do you know of any [[mortal]] who has [[achieved]] that in your [[association]] at this time?

Line 146: Line 152:

I do not look upon you as my [[children]]. I look upon you as my [[brothers and sisters]]. While I am indeed beyond you in [[understanding]] and [[spiritual]] [[awareness]], you have so much [[potential]] within you; and I see this. And I [[respect]] it greatly.

−

Q. Welmek, this is Peter. The one, not paper so much, the one part of [[the book]] that meant the most to me is "[[Paper 160 - Rodan of Alexandria|Rodan of Alexandria]]". He's talking about [[Christ]]'s coping with [[things]], which to me sounds [[strange]]. Coping is important to me in an [[effort]] to control my own [~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epilepsy epilepsy] as well as my own [[spiritual growth]], [[realize]] that. One phrase "Not my will, but yours, be done."([[160:1 Rodan's Greek Philosophy|160:1.11]]) strikes me as by far the most important.

A. While I [[agree]] that indeed this [[statement]] is of great importance, it is not so easy to always [[discern]] the [[meaning]]. It takes repeated [[decisions]] on your part to allow the greater [[understanding]] and [[wisdom]] of what you said impact our [[minds]] and become a [[reality]] in our [[experience]]. Do not [[expect]] more of yourselves than you are capable of giving. This is a [[human]] [[fault]] that I find very often; and when you do not [[achieve]] that which you set out to seek, you are unrelenting in your lack of [[forgiveness]] for yourself. And as a result, you fall short of your real [[potential]]. As one as already said, [[expect]] yourself to do [[good]], but learn to live with what you have [[achieved]] for the day. Tomorrow will take [[care]] of itself.

Q. Welmek, I don't have a favorite paper. I don't know all of them to pick one. I can make an observation. I know that I've been in the group about a year, and the last two months that you've been around I have had the following experience with growth within myself and wondered where I was at. Of course that's not what we're supposed to worry about. I have noticed that since we've been on vacation and come back that my daughter asked me what's wrong with me, I'm changed. I think that's the greatest comment I believe I could ever have. She's very difficult to get along with. I've noticed that in the last 3 or 4 months in this group that everyone has got a purpose in mind, and we're all gathered together, we're all one, almost, and difficulties that were between one another have sort of faded out or are non-existent, or it just doesn't matter anymore. I know that the love that's in here I feel a lot more now than I did when I came, about 8 months ago.

A. Indeed, so have I. I believe this is a common denominator amongst all of you that truly wish to know more and will act upon that which you have been given.

Q. Welmek, this is David. I think the part of the book that I enjoyed the most was the last section on the life of Jesus. The part that I've found myself going back and thinking about in my mind more than any other is the section on the Thought Adjuster. I heard someone say one time that God is the best lover we'll ever have, and it really came to light in this section on the Thought Adjuster, the concept that there's this fragment of God living in our minds, that's totally devoted to us, totally attentive, totally committed, and totally loving. It's something I've really thought about a lot, and it's really enriched me. It's helped me to feel closer to this big concept of God that's so hard to get a handle on. It's much more personal, more meaningful, much more to me.

A. Indeed, and all should listen well, for our Father is at hand. He is your friend. He is someone that you can reach out to and know more fully than you do now. Do not think of Him, as we have discussed, as this entity far beyond. He is literally within you and only awaits your decisions and your dedication to reach to Him so that He may reach down to you, and in time you may be joined. (Tapes are turned here, and Welmek comments that perhaps our scientists could come up with a more efficient solution to this. Group laughter. ~~WELMEK: . .these tapes. Perhaps you can suggest this to them, since there would be a profit in it for them. (group laughter)~~

Q. Welmek, I can't say that I have a favorite part because I love the entire book; and when it was given to me, I was told this book has more truth in it than anything you'll ever read. I've read extensively, searching; and this is true, the book has more truth in it than anything I've ever read and probably will ever hope to read. I love the entire book.

A. I agree with your assessment. There is no other book on this planet that is as concise yet so informative as to the nature of God, the nature of the universe, the organization of the universe, your participation within the universe, and your relationship with our Father. It is true, as the author suggests, that the life of Jesus is the most important knowledge that you can have. This is another reason why all of us have been mandated to focus specifically on the higher concepts of Jesus' teachings, to share and encourage you to move forward in your life, to pursue a greater understanding and application of these teachings.

Having said that, part of the purpose of this assignment is to illustrate the fact that our mission in no way whatsoever has been supported, thought of, followed through, by one such as Caligastia or any of his associates. Whether you believe in the fact that he has been removed from your planet, once again, is not as important as the fact that what you have witnessed tonight is something beyond which one who wishes the demise of the teachings of Jesus to ever be witnessed. Here we have heard many of you share your favorite part of the text. I have made comments throughout the course of our relationship. Nothing that I or any of our visitors have said has ever, in any way whatsoever, been contrary to what you have read from this text or shared with us tonight. How is it that one could believe that what we witness here in this group could be motivated by one who wishes only the destruction of your real self. It is not so, my friends. And you are now asked, when confronted by those who claim that what they think they understand of this mission to be instigated by Caligastia, to share with them this discussion in the hopes that they will now perceive more fully in their mind that we are desirous of you to have a thorough understanding of this text as well as any text that will bring you in greater awareness of our Father and your relationship with him. We are all dominated and motivated by love.

Caligastia was not. He was self-serving. He was not in the process of attuning himself to the higher truth. He perceived, as Lucifer, that he was more or less the higher truth. As you know, this is an unholy and unreal concept of self; and accordingly, since he did not seek forgiveness, he did not seek rehabilitation, he did not seek salvation, he is now as though he never was. His experience, the worthwhile part, has now become a part of the Supreme. Indeed, it is sad for us to witness this, yet as I have said early on, it is also a time to rejoice for now that these people are gone, we can get on with the business of helping your planet reach the stage of Light and Life, to turn it into the sphere that it should be, the home planet of our Creator Son. If you will wait a moment, there are a couple of visitors who wish to make a statement.

MAKEAH: Good evening. I am Makeah (Ma-key'-ah). I am pleased to be able to address you. This is my first [[contact]] with [[mortals]]. I arrived on [[your planet]] four of your weeks ago. I hail from another [[local universe]]. I requested to come to your world as a [[representative]] of my particular [[constellation]]. We have heard much about [[this mission]]. We [[receive]] reports almost daily. I and many throughout the [[superuniverse]] have been granted permission, as [[representatives]] of our [[constellations]], to come here and [[witness]] these events. I do not know how to [[express]] myself very well in your [[language]]. [[Words]] such as remarkable, [[amazing]], do not seem at all to be adequate to [[express]] what I am [[witnessing]]. But I can tell you this much. In my [[universe]], although somewhat different than [[Nebadon]], the constant [[theme]] of [[the Father]]'s [[love]] and [[mercy]] is throughout. You have the [[spirit fragment]] as I have the spirit fragment. It is [[literally]] true that [[God]] lives within you. If only you knew more of the [[relationship]] that this spirit has with you, you would not [[hesitate]] to each day more fully [[attune]] yourself to it. I have been [[fused]] with mine for thousands of your years, and yet each day I am brought into a new [[experience]]. Life with [[our Father]] is [[wonderful]]. There is so much [[love]] throughout all of [[His creation]]. While we do not always [[agree]] on [[concept]], we always agree on [[intent]]. And so we [[hope]] it will be with [[your planet]]. As a [[representative]] of my [[constellation]], I have been asked to tell you this; all of us [[pray]] for you. We pray that you will be successful in your attempts to [[attune]] yourself to God and to help your spirit ministers in [[this mission]].

We have no [[doubt]] that [[this planet]] and the others will be [[successful]]. Be [[patient]], be [[prudent]], be forbearing. Allow yourself the time that it takes to [[attune]] [[spiritually]]. It does not happen over- night for any of us; but if you so will it, it shall be given to you, as our creator, as your creator, has so said. If I may, before I leave, I look forward to spending some time here for many reasons; but one of which I find most peculiar is your sense of [[humor]].

What you are [[witnessing]] is quite something, and so it is for all of us. We know of your [[human]] [[curiosity]] to know more about us. I can tell you that I come from this [[local universe]]. I am over 40,000 of your years old. I have spent time on the [[constellation headquarters]] and would like to tell you that this [[experience]] is something which is wholly remarkable. There is such [[glory]] and yet I have only [[witnessed]] a small [[fragment]] of what has yet to be made known to me. And so it is with you. We are [[experimenting]] with cross-[[communication]]. We [[hope]] to be able in the [[relatively]] near [[future]], to be able to link up groups so that if my group [[chooses]] to meet on the same evening as yours, I may be able to speak to you and Welmek will be able to speak to my group.

This will be able to [[facilitate]] [[communication]]; for as you are surely [[aware]], what I may instruct my [[students]] may be somewhat [[different]] than what Welmek is doing with you, although the spiritual [[truth]] will always be the same and [[uniform]]. There are certain [[facts]], certain ways of presentation, that are [[unique]] to [[the teachers]], themselves. This [[expression]] has been permitted by [[Machiventa]], and I believe you would [[experience]] a great benefit by knowing more fully of the other [[teachers]]' [[personalities]] and how they convey their [[universe]] [[experience]] to their [[TeaM|groups]]. I want you to know, as you already do, that [[our Father]] loves us all, that He is forever by us and that I will be with Welmek when he travels to [[Salvington]]. I too am looking forward to [[this mission]]. I [[hope]] that when we return, I will be able to come back here and [[share]] with you what I can.

RAYMON: My name is Raymon. As you have been told, I [[hope]] to be [[assigned]] permanently to a [[group]] close by. If this is accomplished, we will get to [[share]] much; for your group and my group will have many [[opportunities]] to get together. And Welmek and I will be able to [[speak]] to all of you. I look forward to working with my group also. This is an [[experience]] for [[teachers]] such as ourselves that we never [[dreamed]] of ever having. But then one never knows what tomorrow will bring, do they? And so this [[truth]] is the same for you. Look forward to tomorrow with great [[hope]] and [[anticipation]]. Look forward to the manifold [[opportunities]] that you will have to serve [[the Father]]. You never know who will be presented to you. You never know if indeed, one presented to you is actually who you [[perceive]] this person to be. [[Act]] as though this person is [[Michael]] himself, and you will not be [[disappointed]]. Go in [[peace]], my [[friends]], and I hope to be able, as I said, to speak to you again.

−

This will be able to facilitate communication; for as you are surely aware, what I may instruct my students may be somewhat different than what Welmek is doing with you, although the spiritual truth will always be the same and uniform. There are certain facts, certain ways of presentation, that are unique to the teachers, themselves. This expression has been permitted by Machiventa, and I believe you would experience a great benefit by knowing more fully of the other teachers' personalities and how they convey their universe experience to their groups. I want you to know, as you already do, that our Father loves us all, that He is forever by us and that I will be with Welmek when he travels to Salvington. I too am looking forward to this mission. I hope that when we return, I will be able to come back here and share with you what I can.

+

WELMEK: This is Welmek. Before I leave you, I will entertain ten of your minutes of [[questions]] if you have any general questions, after which time we will adjourn. You will all be with me in my [[thoughts]] and in my [[heart]]. I will not be far from you. I will get reports as to the [[progress]]. I will be back I believe two weeks from this evening. I will think of you and I will pray for you.

If this is accomplished, we will get to share much; for your group and my group will have many opportunities to get together. And Welmek and I will be able to speak to all of you. I look forward to working with my group also. This is an experience for teachers such as ourselves that we never dreamed of ever having. But then one never knows what tomorrow will bring, do they? And so this truth is the same for you. Look forward to tomorrow with great hope and anticipation. Look forward to the manifold opportunities that you will have to serve the Father. You never know who will be presented to you. You never know if indeed, one presented to you is actually who you perceive this person to be. Act as though this person is Michael himself, and you will not be disappointed. Go in peace, my friends, and I hope to be able, as I said, to speak to you again.

−

WELMEK: This is Welmek. Before I leave you, I will entertain ten of your minutes of questions if you have any general questions, after which time we will adjourn. You will all be with me in my thoughts and in my heart. I will not be far from you. I will get reports as to the progress. I will be back I believe two weeks from this evening. I will think of you and I will pray for you.

Q. Welmek, this is Marv

−

A. You asked me in one of my personal sessions to pray for you, and I've been thinking about that the whole time I've been on vacation. What in specific terms can I pray for to help you?

+

A. You asked me in one of my personal sessions to pray for you, and I've been [[thinking]] about that the whole time I've been on [[vacation]]. What in specific terms can I pray for to help you?

A. Can you elaborate more fully on the context in which I said that?

−

Q. Not really. You asked me to pray for you and the only thing I can figure out is that you need help understanding us, understanding our humor, help with the mission. I don't know what else to pray for.

+

Q. Not really. You asked me to [[pray]] for you and the only thing I can figure out is that you need help [[understanding]] us, understanding our [[humor]], help with [[the mission]]. I don't know what else to pray for.

−

A. What I ask of you is that when you pray, if you wish to pray for me, then pray for the success of this mission. Pray that I may be able to muster all of my abilities, all of my energy, and direct them to you so that I may be effective in enabling you to achieve the wisdom that you seek in order to attune yourself to the Father's will. Do not concern yourself with me, however, for I am fine. .

Q. I didn't think you were wrong, Welmek. We just thought you needed some extra help.

−

A. Indeed, I can always use your love and your thoughts, for this helps me. It also indicates to me your level of love and understanding for that which I try to bring to you.

===='''''[[Revelation]]'''''====

+

Q. Welmek, this is Stan. I was [[wondering]]. There are probably millions of people that have been mislead by the [[Book of Revelation]]s in the [[bible]], because according to the [[Urantia Book]], we only have a part of that book of revelations, causing a tremendous type of misunderstanding, misinterpretation. I was [[wondering]] if it would be possible that if sometime in the near [[future]] we could get the full [[Book of Revelation|book of revelations]] that [[John, the Apostle|John]] had [[received]] so that we may impart it to our [[brothers and sisters]] to help them [[understand]] the book of revelations as it was meant to be.

Q. ~~Welmek~~, this is ~~Stan~~. I ~~was wondering~~. ~~There~~ are ~~probably millions~~ of ~~people~~ that ~~have been mislead by~~ the ~~Book~~ of ~~Revelations in~~ the ~~bible~~, ~~because according to~~ the ~~Urantia Book~~, we only ~~have~~ a ~~part of that~~ book of ~~revelations~~, ~~causing a tremendous type of misunderstanding~~, ~~misinterpretation~~.

+

A. First of all, this is not [[permitted]][https://www.press.daynal.org/catalog/secret.html]. Secondly, that which [[John, the Apostle|John]] [[understood]] and others understood are not nearly as complete as that which is [[explained]] in [[your text]] or that which you and I can [[discuss]]. We together must determine how we can best lead our [[brothers and sisters]] into the greater [[truth]] and [[understanding]] that is contained within the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=UB#Part_IV._The_Life_and_Teachings_of_Jesus life and teachings of Jesus]. Within his life, within his teachings, are all of the answers that we all must [[understand]] and [[practice]] in our life. [[Our Master]] lived this life in the [[flesh]] for all of [[Nebadon|his universe]] to [[witness]], to teach all of his [[children]] the better way, the [[righteous]] way, the only way of seeking and finding [[the Father]]. Let us not be concerned so much with a [[book of revelation]]s, but rather in our life how we can [[learn]] and show another the way to [[the Father]]. Interesting to note, however, that others have asked me similar requests. I cannot produce such [[materials]] for you. This is something that we are particularly [[prohibited]] in doing.

===='''''[[Discernment]]'''''====

+

Q. Welmek, I have a question that I [[think]] several of us [[discussed]] after our last meeting last week. We had some [[visitors]] from out of town who had picked up a hitchhiker, a [[homeless]] man who came into our [[meeting]]; and we were put into a situation where this man needed a place to [[sleep]]. We all felt like we were put on the spot. Here we were [[speaking]] of our [[love]] of [[Jesus]] and love of [[the Father]] and caring for each other and [[acting]] as if our [[neighbor]] is [[Jesus]], and this man was asking for a place to stay, yet we were all [[hesitant]] to let this stranger stay within our midst. We felt somewhat [[hypocritical]]. Several of us talked about it after the meeting and as the week [[progressed]]. I guess maybe what we need is a little bit of [[guidance]] from you as to where the lines are drawn. Should we let this man stay in our [[homes]]? Is it un-Christian like to not let him stay in our [[home]]? Can you give us some [[guidance]] in this area?

A. Did you not provide [[shelter]] for this [[person]] that night?

+

Q. During the meeting. Yes, we did. Dee provided him with a room, I understand.

−

A. ~~Did~~ you not ~~provide shelter~~ for this person that ~~night?~~

+

A. I [[understand]] that several of you contributed to this [[fact]]. And so it was. I will never ask you to do anything which you are not [[comfortable]] in doing. There are many who need help; yet you must, in your [[wise]] [[judgment]], determine what you should and shouldn't do. The [[fact]] that you were [[desirous]] to help says much about your [[development]] to this point in time. Yet there are situations on [[your planet]], that while your [[intention]] may be to help, the [[person]] whom you are trying to help may not be so [[motivated]], may indeed turn your [[good]] [[intention]] into harm or destruction. Each situation must be assessed according to your best [[judgment]]. How can I give you guidelines other than to say this: if you're [[motivated]] by [[love]], if your [[desire]] is to do [[good]], if your assessment, your better [[judgment]] tells you that, as in this case, it is better to let this person [[sleep]] by themself, somewhere else, then so be it. You are not [[hypocritical]] in what you did. You allowed this [[person]] to come into your house, you [[shared]] [[food]], you shared [[money]], you shared [[friendship]], you shared [[concepts]] of [[the Father]]. Whether this [[individual]] [[understood]] what happened or not, is not for you to concern yourself with. For if you were to take this [[individual]] into your house, then would you not feel compelled to take all those who [[wander]] about [[the planet]] such as he into your house? This is impossible, obviously. What I am concerned with for each of you is your [[motivation]], is your [[desire]]; but as I have said, you must be [[wise]] as the serpent[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_matthew#Chapter_10]. You must ascertain what will [[hurt]] you and if you have determined that there is a [[potential]] of harm, you are not asked to harm yourselves. For I would not do that, and [[Michael]] would not do that. Indeed, we have things that we [[wish]] for you to do in the [[future]]. Therefore, we [[admonish]] you to take care of yourselves and not put yourself in a situation that could [[jeopardize]] or become [[injurious]]. But, what happened that day was most interesting to several of you. And I believed that some of you did [[learn]] something about yourself. As to the [[reality]] of this person, I will not comment. Each of you must [[decide]] for yourself what it is that you [[learned]] and what you might do in a situation similar to this in the [[future]].

−

Q. ~~During~~ the ~~meeting~~. ~~Yes~~, we ~~did. Dee provided him with~~ a ~~room~~, ~~I understand~~.

+

Q. Welmek, I have a [[question]]. As a [[human]] on this world, there's much concern about the [[environment]] and the [[ecology]]. I think about this quite a bit. I [[wonder]], since humans have [[free will]] and we seem to be doing a lot of damage to this world, are there any...is the [[administration]], if you will, managing this [[problem]]? Are we going to be allowed to continue this [[cycle]] of destruction?

−

A. I understand that several of you contributed to this fact. And so it was. I will never ask you to do anything which you are not comfortable in doing. There are many who need help; yet you must, in your wise judgment, determine what you should and shouldn't do. The fact that you were desirous to help says much about your development to this point in time.

A. We have things under [[control]]. (group [[laughter]]) I will take one more [[question]].

Q.Welmek, I was just [[curious]] about your trip to [[Salvington]]. How long will it take you to get to Salvington?

−

A. We have ~~things under control~~.

+

A.Finally, the [[curiosity]] question. (group [[laughter]]) I must say, I [[anticipated]] it much earlier. As a matter of [[fact]], in somewhat of jesting with my associates, if I were a betting man, I would have lost my bet. (group [[laughter]]) I cannot comment really on this, for it is not really important. I know of the reason now more fully why you ask such questions. However, I will be able to tell you a few things upon my return. That much I will [[promise]] you.

A.Most interesting...(more [[laughter]]) It will be a [[pleasure]] to take my [[experiences]] with me. (Laughter) Indeed, they are packed. (group [[laughter]]) And I know that my [[conference]] with [[Michael]] will be much more enjoyable for me for I will [[understand]] him more fully than I ever have before, because of my [[association]] with you. This is such a [[wonderful]] thing, and I thank you all from the bottom of my [[heart]] for this [[opportunity]]. May you all go in [[peace]]. I will look forward to my return.
