Q. Norson, as (you)  probably know, we are a [[curious]] lot. Are you willing to [[share]] with us what is your background, and what made you seek [[this mission]]?

Q. Norson, as (you)  probably know, we are a [[curious]] lot. Are you willing to [[share]] with us what is your background, and what made you seek [[this mission]]?

A. I am of the [[Melchizedeks|Melchizidek]] order of beings. Our order is [[described]] in [[your text]]. ([[35:2 The Melchizedek Sons|35:2]]) We basically [[perform]] in [[the universe]] as [[teachers]] and [[philosophers]]. My brother, [[Machiventa]] Melchizedek, is your [[planetary prince]]. Before his appointment, I served temporarily in this role, and was in charge of the receivership of [[your planet]]. As a [[Melchizedek]], we are in charge of [[this mission]], this [[teaching mission]], and so it is my [[nature]] and it is my true [[desire]] to want to be part of [[this mission]].

Q. Norson, last week I was in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minneapolis,_Minnesota Minneapolis] and [[visited]] with the Twin Cities [[study]] group. The members of that group have indicated that they would like to have a teacher assigned to that group. I indicated that I would [[communicate]] back to [[Welmek]], but he's not here, so I would [[communicate]] that to you.

A. [[Understood]]. We will [[immediately]] begin to research this [[group]] and to [[discern]] what the [[possibilities]] are.

Q. Can you give us an update on [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=1992-09-30-I_Am_Going_to_Salvington Welmek's activities]?

Q. How many active [[groups]] are there now?

Q. How many active [[groups]] are there now?

A. [http://www.nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Category:TeaM Approximately 45]. But you must [[understand]] that when you say active what you mean and what we mean may be [[different]]. In our view, [[active]] means there are beings in a specific area who are assessing and [[researching]] the [[possibility]] of the assignment of a [[teacher]] to a particular group.

Q. Do you [[forecast]], say within a year from now, how many groups there will be?

Q. Do you [[forecast]], say within a year from now, how many groups there will be?

A. Yes. The entire [[local universe]] was kept abreast of the [[events]] of [[Michael]]'s life. As [[your text]] tells you, [[Michael]] did not come to live his human life as [[Jesus]] of [[Nazareth]] just for the [[mortals]] of [[Urantia]]. ([[157:6 The Next Afternoon|157:6.3]])

A. You sometimes [[think]] this way, but it [[simply]] [[reflects]] your [[limited]] [[understanding]]. [[Michael]] lived his life as a [[human]] for all the worlds of his entire [[Nebadon|local universe]]. They were all made [[aware]] in various ways of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=UB#Part_IV._The_Life_and_Teachings_of_Jesus his life and of his teachings]. If you were to re-[[read]] his life and you would look at what is said, not only from the [[standpoint]] of how a [[mortal]] of [[your planet]] would view it, but also from the standpoint of how [[beings]] from [[Paper 55 - The Spheres of Light and Life|far more advanced planets]] might also view it, you would increase your [[understanding]] of many of the things that [[Jesus]] has said.

Q. Can you tell me what, I've never asked a [[supermortal]] this question, but in the [[Urantia Book]], in [[Paper 139 - The Twelve Apostles|the paper on the apostles]], they tell what each [[apostle]] [[thought]] was the most important thing or the thing that [[attracted]] them most to [[Jesus]], or whatever it was that [[impressed]] them the most. What impressed you, [[personally]], the most about his life here?

Q. Yes.

A. In [[your text]], there is a [[statement]] that says [[divorce]] must continue to serve as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safety_valve safety valve] for situations that are [[potentially]] worse. What do you [[think]] that might mean? ([[83:7 Dissolution of Wedlock|83:7.8]])

NORSON: It has been my [[pleasure]]. This has been my first [[opportunity]] to [[speak]] with a [[group]] such as yours and to have the opportunity to answer questions. There are some [[visitors]] who wish to speak briefly with you.

ANDREW: Greetings. This is Andrew. I have addressed you before; and as many of you know, I have been [[assigned]] to the [http://www.nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Category:Pittsburgh_TeaM group in Pittsburgh]. I only wish to say to you tonight that I am pleased with the [[progress]] that is being made and that we [[hope]] to be on line fully in the near [[future]]. I [[appreciate]] the [[opportunity]] to [[observe]] your group. It has been very helpful to me, and I will carry much of what I have [[learned]] from your group to my new [[experience]]. I [[wish]] to [[thank]] you for all that you have done to add to my [[experience]]. I [[love]] you and [[God]] be with you. From time to [[time]], I will return and extend my greetings to you. My [[hope]] is that at some future time, your group and my group in Pittsburgh will have an [[opportunity]] to meet jointly, just as your group did with [[Oren]] and the group from Warrenville.

ANDREA: Greetings. This is Andrea.

A. I too [[wish]] to [[echo]] the sentiments of my brother [[Andrew]]. As some of you know, we have had two sessions in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo,_New_York Buffalo group] and I am very pleased with the [[progress]]. All groups are different and some [[progress]] more quickly or more slowly than others. We do not allow this to affect us. Our [[desire]] is to [[work]] with a group and to move them forward from whatever [[position]] they may start from. I, too, would like to [[thank]] your group for my [[opportunity]] to be a [[teacher]] in Buffalo. Your group has been instrumental in spawning some of these new groups, and we are very [[appreciative]] of your willingness and your [[desire]] to spread [[this mission]]. I know you anxiously await [[Welmek]]'s return, and so do we. I know that the [[love]] and the [[joy]] that he will return with will be felt by us and also by you. Until that time, go in [[peace]] and may [[God]] be with each of you.
