Q: Would the [[personality]] that I have [[received]], for example, that the [[soul]] be me in [[potential]], and that [[personality]] that I [[exhibit]] here - different sense of [[humor]] or whatever - is that the [[reflection]] of that [[reality]]? When we talk at this level, we talk about having [[personality]] and recognizing personalities, and [[types]] of personalities, if we are 99% [[potential]] then what is that that's here?

−

A: [[Potential]]. Let me [[explain]]. The you that you will be is [[personality]], like letting the [[personality]] out of a [[Prison|locked room]]. It exists but [[unseen]]. It will be the combination of your [[fusion]] with your [[Adjuster]] and [[soul growth]] and eventual [[transmutation]] into a [[spirit]] [[being]]. Your [[personality]] contains the [[potential]] of all the [[ascension career]]. It is there in you now. But it is not apparent because it will be based upon your [[choice]]-decision-[[action]] throughout your entire [[ascension career]]. Your [[free will]] determines the release of your [[potential]] into [[actuality]]. How does one see the one percent here? Your guide, in general, should be [[spiritual fruits]]. That is [[evidence]] of your [[personality]], your unique personality. How does (S) [[love]]? How (S) loves is [[different]] from any other created being, the [[tones]] and [[songs]] and [[harmonies]] that (S) brings to the [[quality]], the [[universal]] [[quality]] of [[love]], is and forever will be [[different]] than any other [[personality]], a [~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jazz jazz] [[interpretation]] of a [[universal]] [[theme]].

===='''''[[Flow]]'''''====

−

Q: As I walk the spiritual walk of my life I notice that sometimes I [[feel]] really moved, filled, and close to [[God]] and [[Jesus]], and sometimes - and now to the [[teachers]] also - and then sometimes it feels like everything withdraws and it - there is sort of a still [[quietness]] out there. Is that my [[imagination]]? I know God doesn't go anywhere. What happens then? Is that something real that happens to people? That there is an [~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebb_and_flow ebb and flow] of their spiritual [[receptivity]] and constancy of the ministry to them.

A: It [[appears]] to us, (S), that this is quite [[normal]] for you humans. Of course, [[God]] is constant. Your [[consciousness]] is not. And for many reasons. Some [[growth]] takes place beyond consciousness in [[higher mind]] realms. Much [[reality]] takes place on a [[spiritual]] level, which you would never, never see tangibly or be even [[aware]] of. So, sometimes when you [[feel]] you are not spiritually centered or [[tuned]], you are indeed [[experiencing]] [[growth]]. There are also [[rest]] periods, [[plateaus]], [[spiritually]] as well as [[intellectually]], [[physically]]. A being can only work so hard so long than must [[rest]]. So this seems to be [[normal]] and, of course, the constancy of the human will varies. Although we have all made the [[ultimate]] [[commitment]] to do the will of [[the Father]], the [[acting]] upon this [[decision]] involves constancy of spirit in [[actions]] and varies, which is not extraordinary, but is the condition of [[imperfect]] [[beings]].

===='''''[[Spirit of Truth]]'''''====

−

The [[Spirit of Truth]] is the great Comforter. It is like a gentle rain falling on your [[souls]], and can be called upon and fostered in each human's [[heart]]. The [[Spirit of Truth]] will never misdirect you. It is able to teach the [[difference]] between spiritual [[truth]] and mere [[fact]]. When you are able to discern [[spiritual]] [[truth]], [[all things]] [[reflect]] the [[truth, beauty, and goodness]] of the Father. Even in the worst [[tragedy]]-which is only a [[fact]] - the Father's [~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fingerprint fingerprint] can be detected when looking through the [[Spirit of Truth]] and [[comfort]] becomes a [[reality]]. When one sees [[God]], it may remedy the situation. [[Reflect]] upon the recent [[event]]. The tragic [[death]] of (S) and (S), when seen through the leadings of the [[Spirit of Truth]], are a testimony to the [[compassion]], [[mercy]], and [[goodness]] of [[the Father]].

Line 161: Line 161:

Q: When you said the [[Spirit of Truth]] was [[bestowed]] (upon) every [[generation]], can you [[illuminate]] that? I don't really [[understand]].

−

A: The reason for this, (S), is that each [[generation]] of mortals faces [[different]] temporal [[difficulties]] in the world. The [[Spirit of Truth]] is not [[static]], but [[illuminates]] [[truth]] set against a backdrop of the world circumstances and peoples that are present in that [[generation]]. Some generations [[receive]] less because they are less [[spiritually]] [[receptive]], perhaps more [[material]] minded, or perhaps must deal with great [[distractions]], such as your [[aggressive]] [[wars]], or [[hunger]], or [~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_disaster natural disasters]. So unto each [[generation]] the [[Spirit of Truth]] reaches down to lead the children of time, but it is not a [[static]] [[message]]. It [[grows]] with the [[generations]] and [[illumines]] [[truth]] in the world they live in.

===='''''[[Birth]]'''''====

−

Each of you have - deep within your [[being]] - sought [[God]]. A [[commitment]], a [[prayer]], a [[quest]] was begun. For some, many many many years ago. For others, more recently. When man reaches a hand [[Godward]], God has already downreached to that [[being]]. God had already found each of you. This will-[[decision]] is enough for you to enter [[the kingdom]] upon mortal [[death]]. It is enough to spiritualize your human life. But it is not what [[Jesus]] taught, for we [[understand]] "to be born of the Spirit." Allow me to elaborate. [[Born]] of the Spirit, [~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Born_again_%28Christianity%29 born again][~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twice-born], these [[words]] are often used by your religionists. They think to [[bathe]] in [[water]], to commit in [[words]], is being [[born]] of the [[Spirit]]. That is incorrect. You Urantians think to make a [[commitment]] to [[the Father]] is born of the Spirit. That is also incorrect. It is too [[intellectual]]. What is [[birth]], children? [[Birth]] is [[action]], physical action. Some births are long and hard and [[painful]]. Some births involve some [[injury]], or perceived injury, to the participants. Some births are easy, but not the [[majority]]. As it is with childbirth, [[physical]] birth, so it is with [[spiritual]] birth. Spiritual birth involves [[physical]] [[action]]. Born of the Spirit is [[action]], spiritual action. When one embarks upon spiritual [[birth]] there is a period of [[dormancy]].

The [[conception]] is your [[commitment]], [[survival]] commitment, and your [[ultimate]]..., to the will of [[the Father]] This will-decision should grow during the [[pregnant]] period. Then comes the [[birth]] in the Spirit, of the Spirit, to the Spirit, [[children]]. If you think that this will be painless you are incorrect. It will involve much [[ego]] bruising, [[pain]], [[depression]], [[disappointment]], all of the things, which you [[humans]] are so [[adept]] at avoiding. This is why, children, most who hear the [[truth]] push it away. They dismiss it. "Oh, this is not for me." "Oh, I have heard this before." "Oh, I do not need this now." Etc. Because, [~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Born_again_%28Christianity%29 being born again] means changing.

It is a [[birth]]. But always will your [[evolving soul]] thank you if you undertake this [[action]] here. You must have [[courage]] and [[commitment]]. You must have valor. You must [[realize]] that this is - this will [[repercuss]] on all levels of your [[being]]. Many who are involved in the spiritual [[birth]] go through [[doubts]], spiritual [[uncertainty]] and [[confusion]], even [[rejection]] of the [[Godward]] life. It is [[difficult]]. It is harder to live as a [[raging]] heathen than as a [[committed]] spiritualist - correction, it is easier to live as a raging heathen than as a committed spiritualist. Why? Because there are more rewards for the worldly [[attributes]], the lower [[emotions]], on [[Urantia]] than rewards for the higher [[values]] in [[action]]. Why? Because it is easier for the human [[temperament]] to [[embrace]] [[negative]] [[qualities]] and [[act]] on them than to go against one's own [[inherent]] [[animal]] nature and [[modify]] the clay from which you are built, by [[higher mind]]s and [[values]].

Line 241: Line 241:

A: Yes. You have all begun the [[process]] to greater or lesser extent. And at some [[earth]] periods you cruise, sometimes you go quicker. What I am asking you to [[consider]] is a [[conscious]] [[effort]] to take the harder [[path]]. When there is a [[choice]], choose the higher. It is often the harder. [[Truth]], [[illumination]], loving [[service]], kindly [[tolerance]] - [[fruits of the Spirit]] - are all [[difficult]] to act in your life. So, easy it is to avoid, [[ignore]], table, but you get no [[growth]] from it. I am asking you to not idle so much. It will not be easier. There will be [[pain]], [[death]] of [[ego]], much [[shock]], but it would be better.

Q: [[Jesus]] is quoted as saying to [~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicodemus Nicodemus], in effect, "are you not a ruler in [[Israel]] and don't know that you must be [[born]] again?" What happens when this new [[birth]] [[process]] is [[interrupted]] by physical [[death]]?

A: It continues on the [[Mansion Worlds]]. There is still human [[ego]] felt on the [[Mansion Worlds]]. If it is completed here, one goes to a higher Mansion World. You need not so much correction.

Q: Yes, I guess the thing that's been going through my [[mind]] over these last several months is, since we've had our encounters with (S), has been [[puzzling]] over how energy [[transformations]] [[change]] in accord to [[spiritual]] [[experiences]], but I suppose that's probably something you are not allowed to comment on.

−

A: A moment. (pause) Yes, [[spiritual growth]] is the [[invisible]] [[energy]], which motorizes the [[physical]], mindal, [[emotional]], material being. It [[connects]] all systems. [[Spiritual growth]] affects, on the [[physical]] level, the [[molecular]] [[structure]] of the material being. It is an actual [[energy]]. As a child grows bigger you see formation of [[material]] mass, [[energy]], etc. So, as you grow spiritually, and it [[transforms]] actuals - the physical - and upsteps the systems, the system [[coordination]] working of the material [[beings]].

But there is often a garble, and I would not recommend relying too heavily on such [[signs]] or [~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omen omens]. Use the slower [[tools]] of [[prayer]] and [[worship]] and [[silent]] listening to make steady progress in communication. There are sometimes enlightened revealed truths that are given to individual mortals, but these are not the norm.

To briefly review, [[Urantia]] is a fortunate [[planet]] in that since [[Michael]]'s [[incarnation]] in the flesh and His [~~http~~://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_21#21:3._LOCAL_UNIVERSE_SOVEREIGNTY subsequent elevation], [[this planet]] has been given His mighty gift of the [[Spirit of Truth]]. This [[interfaces]] directly with the Indwelling [[Adjuster]] in that since the [[bestowal]] of the [[Spirit of Truth]] every sound-minded [[mortal]] on [[this planet]], upon reaching the age of [[choice]] between what is right or wrong spiritually, is given an indwelling [[Mystery Monitor]].

To briefly review, [[Urantia]] is a fortunate [[planet]] in that since [[Michael]]'s [[incarnation]] in the flesh and His [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_21#21:3._LOCAL_UNIVERSE_SOVEREIGNTY subsequent elevation], [[this planet]] has been given His mighty gift of the [[Spirit of Truth]]. This [[interfaces]] directly with the Indwelling [[Adjuster]] in that since the [[bestowal]] of the [[Spirit of Truth]] every sound-minded [[mortal]] on [[this planet]], upon reaching the age of [[choice]] between what is right or wrong spiritually, is given an indwelling [[Mystery Monitor]].

Other planets, which have not been privy to this gift, receive monitors in other ways, but all [[Mystery Monitors]] are equal spiritually, if not [[experientially]]. So this planet has been uplifted in a time of [[isolation]] by the gift of [[the Father]] on High. The [[Mystery Monitors]], to all [[purposes]] of [[reality]], are [[God]]. Their [[mission]] is not really for this lifetime in the flesh but for the next lifetime in the [[morontial]] and [[spiritual]]. They are referred to as heavenly helpers, not earthly or [[material]] helpers. How do they [[affect]] you here? Well, suffice it to say that if the [[Mystery Monitors]] were to vacate the [[mortals]] on this planet, your world would soon [[devolve]] to nothing more than mere [[savagery]] and [[instinctual]] [[tribal]] behavior. It cannot be portrayed to you how much they affect your [[behavior]], but without them you would be [[animals]]. The [[Mystery Monitors]] are [[organized]] and do [[communicate]] with each other, but not in ways that are familiar to me. The head of the corps on [[Urantia]], and indeed in [[Nebadon|your universe]], is the personal, wise, Monitor of [[Jesus]] of [[Nazareth]] who so [[skillfully]] guided the human Jesus through all the steps of his spiritual [[maturity]].

Line 647: Line 647:

A: It may be Adjuster related, although that would be less likely than [[Angelic]] [[intervention]]. As far as [[counseling]], I cannot. I can only tell you in general terms that each [[human]] has something [[individual]] and beautiful to [[contribute]] to his / her fellows and to the [[Supreme]]. You can mutually exchange [[love]], [[personality]], and [[service]]. We cannot see - [[judge]] a person's [[spiritual growth]] or [[status]]. Who has more to offer, the brother or the sister? We do not know. The [[truth]] is you both have much to give to many. [[Love]] her and give what you can, and I am sure she will do the same.

Q: In [[western]] [[culture]] now we have the capacity to keep many people alive into advanced age.

In these disorders there's generally [[disease]] of the [~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontal_lobe frontal] and [~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prefrontal_cortex prefrontal areas], and one sees clinically disintegration of the [[personality]] as well as loss of [[capacity]] for self-[[maintenance]]. Now there's a very great [[moral]] [[dilemma]] developing in western [[medicine]] presently about - is it right to keep such people alive? Because the expense of keeping them alive is very very high. There is much [[grief]] in the [[family]] as these people become further and further detached from [[family]] and [[friends]] and [[reality]]. And these people seem to have much [[fear]], much [[pain]], and much illness in general. Could you comment on this? Could you comment on how this would be handled on another world such as the one that you come from?

A: In the cases where the deterioration is in the [~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prefrontal_cortex prefrontal lobe] it is my [[opinion]] that the [[Adjuster]] has left. What is alive is a [[physical]] [[body]]. As for the [[ethics]] of maintaining life, it is irrelevant [[spiritually]] one way or another. In terms of my world we had in place a spiritualized and [[accepted]] [[ritual]] for [[graduation]] when the [[physical]] was an impediment to the spiritual [[soul growth]] - that is, of course, the only [[eternal]] [[reality]]. When the [[mechanism]] housing the [[soul]]-[[Adjuster]] no longer functioned, it was not of any consequence to terminate life. In [[fact]], it was a cause of [[celebration]], being [[the Father]]'s will that the [[soul]] move on to the next [[growth]] level. You down here have much more irrational and [[emotional]] [[reactions]] to this practice since-as a world-you do not truly [[understand]] what life is, and define it solely in terms of the [[physical]]. Now, some day on [[your planet]] things will even out. Your life [[capacity]], ideally, is approximately five hundred [[earth]] years. This will not be [[attained]] until the early stages of [[Light and Life]]. As you [[grow]] as a world [[spiritually]], you will learn to temper [[life extension]] with actual life [[growth]] of the [[soul]]. And many [[diseases]] will be eliminated which [[interfere]] with the [[mind]]-[[soul]] [[connection]]. Until that time this [[topic]] will be reacted to irrationally and I can only [[pray]] for your [[enlightenment]] as a world [[culture]] since many mortals suffer needlessly, and [[suffer]] delays in their [[universe career]] because of the mere sentiment, which is attached to the [[material]] [[body]].

Line 717: Line 717:

How do you know that something is true? You can believe the [[fact]], but it might not necessarily be [[truth]]. And the [[truth]] might not necessarily be the [[fact]]. As you all are intelligent [[teachers]], you will naturally [[analyze]] most things to see what element of truth it contains. You will naturally [[accept]] some of those and [[reject]] others. The ones that you have [[experienced]] - the truths that you have experientially [[experienced]] - you will automatically [[recognize]] as the [[truth]], and you will have no [[doubts]] because you have experienced that truth which you have been [[exposed]] to. Sometimes a combination of [[facts]] may seem like the [[truth]] if it is [[logical]] and it makes sense to you, and so you [[believe]] it. But until you have truly used that truth in your daily life and have [[experienced]] that [[truth]], you will not actually know that it is the truth. I can talk endlessly about [[science]]. Some of it may be verifiable, some may not be, but it will not necessarily be a [[truth]]. The truth that I speak, you will [[recognize]] deep within yourselves. If you do not, then [[think]] about it. Mull it over in your [[minds]] and see if it will actually be a part of your [[experience]]. If it does not, then you cannot be sure of your [[decision]], no matter what decision. When one seeks the [[truth]] one is hungry for the truth, one [[desires]] true [[meanings]], true [[values]], of the [[reality]] of life and your [[relationship]] to others - and to [[God]]. Why are some people not [[hungry]] for the [[truth]], why do they not [[desire]] the truth? And why do others [[thirst]] for that eternal [[wisdom]] that can come to them through their [[Thought Adjuster|fragments of the Father]].

−

You see, children, some people are not [[hungry]] because they have not [~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digestion digested] the [[truth]] that has been given to them. Let them live and [[experience]] what they have been given, and after they have been filled they will again be [[hungry]] and they will be [[desirous]] of more [[wisdom]] and more [[truth]]. The ones who are [[thirsty]], the ones who seek the truth, they have lived-to some extent-and have [[experienced]] the truth that they have been allowed to partake of, and then - after their [[realization]] has been lived in the full - they become [[thirsty]] again. And because they are [[thirsty]], more [[knowledge]], more [[wisdom]], more [[truth]], will be let into their [[consciousness]].

[[Truth]] is given to you, and through your [[faith]] you will [[understand]] the [[truth]] and then you will live the [[truth]], you will be one with the truth. When truth is given to you in any [[form]]-sometimes it may be [[shadowed]] by [[facts]] and misleading [[information]], sometimes truth may come in the form of [[fiction]] - keep alert to the fact that truth may come in very many [[forms]]. Be open. Be willing to [[consider]] all aspects of the vehicle which truth may come in. Discard the elements, which [[conflict]] with your [[common sense]], with your cosmic [[knowledge]] and [[attitudes]]. Take out the truth and put it into [[action]]. Give it the tests of life. Live it. And through that living of that [[truth]] you will obtain [[wisdom]], true wisdom. And with wisdom you will be able more to [[discern]] the [[truth]] when it is [[surrounded]] by untruth or misleading [[facts]] and elements. And then, of course, you will once again [[thirst]] for more. And you will be given more. That is how you [[progress]], children, through the [[ascension career]] that lies before you. But [[faith]] is so important to this. Have faith. Move forward. Take that step with [[certainty]], knowing that you are doing so with [[faith]] in your [[Thought Adjuster]] as you [[progress]] in the will of God. There is much [[satisfaction]] to this. The more you [[progress]], the more [[satisfaction]] you will [[receive]].

Rayson: This [[individual]] seems like a person who has [~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memorize memorized] [[truths]] who has not lived - or does not truly [[understand]] them enough to experientially live them out. The [[individual]] is not in [[harmony]] with [[reality]]. Her concepts are verging on [[fantasy]]. She believes what she has been told without [[question]], and questioning is very [[vital]] to seeking the truth. You must [[question]] everything. You must question [[authority]]. You must question myself. You must question each other. You cannot take things for granted as being the [[truth]]. Of course you should not question merely for the sake of questioning. You should definitely [[desire]] to know the [[truth]]. Question The [[Urantia Book]]. Question these [[teaching mission]]s. Question your [[study]] group [[leader]], or ones who have an [[intellectual]] understanding of the [[concepts]] in The [[Urantia Book]], which surpasses your own. Do not think that just because they are more [[intellectual]] than you are that whatever they say is the [[truth]]. This is not so. Reason it out on your own. Try to live what you have gained by your own working-outs of these questions. When you [[discuss]] matters of [[universal]] [[reality]] with people who do not question, who take things for granted, you would not be able to convince them of much because they have unquestionably taken some [[beliefs]] as the [[truth]]. They will [[doubt]] everything that goes against that which they have [[decided]] to believe as the [[truth]]. And this is a [[danger]], for you may also do the same for the teachings of The [[Urantia Book]]. [[Realize]] that [[truth]] is often [[relative]] of where you are in your [[Ascension Career|progression career]]. What may be true for you now may not be true when you have gone on to the [[morontia worlds]].

Q: Sometimes I have a deep [[conversation]] with someone for hours and hours. I consider a [[heart]] to heart talk or just [[friends]] being together to be a [[beautiful]] thing. I tend to allow exactly how I feel or what my [[response]] is to being with someone to come up, and there is an interchange. Then later I find that bits and pieces come back to me of that [[structured]] [[conversation]], things I said or things that were said to me, and its at that point where I feel through [[reflectivity]] or something that more [[truths]] come regarding that. Now is that correct? Or is it a good way of [[discerning]] [[personal]] [[truth]]? Or should truth occur in the leading edge of a [[conversation]]? Or could you [[touch]] on that a little bit?

Line 747: Line 747:

A: The [[Spirit of Truth]] does play a part in the total delivery and [[reception]] of [[truth]]. It is a [[causal]] [[feedback]] to the [[brain]], together with the [[awareness]] input facilitation of your [[Thought Adjuster]] and [[liaison]] with your [[brain]], or rather your [[mind]].

Q: It almost seems - in living - that we are [~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digestion digesting], that image used of digesting, it seems we are digesting our own [[egos]] and in the process turning our [[natures]] into something very [[different]].

Line 761: Line 761:

A: [[Personality]] [[exercises]] dominant will [[choice]] on this level but the will is the offspring of the [[conscious]] [[human mind]], mid-mind. It is your only area of [[control]] or choice.

Q: Rayson, regarding [[free will]], I've noticed that all [[the teachers]] tend to [[respect]] that infinitely, and I was wondering that is it your [[opinion]], or perhaps the [[opinion]] of Father [[Melchizedek]] that had the [[Fifth Epochal Revelation]] not occurred and then this subsequent [[teaching mission]], would life as we know it, [[human]] life on [[this planet]], be in much greater [[jeopardy]] in terms of spiritual [~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bankruptcy bankruptcy] and the [[devolution]] of [[mankind]]?

A: Yes, if there were no other [[plans]] put into effect - that is improbable. If The [[Urantia Book]] and the [[teaching mission]] was not put into [[effect]], another [[plan]] would have been. And if that plan were not put into effect, another would have been.

Line 769: Line 769:

A: [[Free will]] was [[bestowed]] by [[the Father]], not Michael. If we all [[choose]] to [[annihilate]] ourselves, that is their [[prerogative]], we have that. Even I. But the point is that we don't. The [[plans]] for uplift, for [[guiding]] us ever onward and upward, is not a [[negative]] plan to stop us from doing [[evil]]. It is a [[magnet]], which is [[positive]], which draws you ever upward. It is not to prevent [[self]]-[[annihilation]], but rather to give you more [[opportunities]] to [[grow]], for getting you to reach up so that the ones above can reach down and so pull you up. [[Free will]] (alone) is nothing. It is not valuable unless you are given enough [[choices]]. These [[mission]]s, The [[Urantia Book]], [[revelations]], are all to give you those better [[choices]].

As we get to know you better, let us [[reflect]] more of your [[divine]] [[love]] to our [[brothers and sisters]]. And we pray to grow ever closer to your warm [[light]] and ever more like you in your loving ways. [[Bless]] us as we live our lives uncertain, yet certain of the [[eventual]] outcome, which is to someday sit in your very [[presence]] and [[worship]] the one God. [[Amen]]. (01/12/92)

Rayson: At this point I would like to end the [[discourse]] and [[participate]] with you in a group [[meditation]] of silent [[receptivity]], which I will lead. Dear Father, Creator of all, endless [[circle]] of [[love]], [[goodness]], and [[First Source and Center]] of [[everything]], show your children the way to you; the [[journey]] inward and outward which is without end, replete in [[spiritual growth]] and sung of by [[angels]]. Let us be [[silent]] as each one of your children tries more [[consciously]] to feel your [[presence]] within and without. To feel your divine unconditional and endless [[love]], [[mercy]], [[goodness]], and [[beauty]]. Let us listen to the [[silent]] [[voice]] of the [[eternal]]. (Long silence) If you feel peaceful, sublime, loved, loving, forgiving, forgiven, compassionate, connected to your [[brothers and sisters]] and the Father, that is your first inkling of [[Thought Adjuster]] downreach and outreach to the human [[mind]] and [[soul]]. Some day you will feel this way always, and more. (01/26/92)

Let them try to lead [[poised]], loving, service-filled lives so that they may better [[attune]] their will to the will of the divine. Bless them with [[spiritual growth]] and bestow the [[fruits of the spirit]] on them as they live day by day through these [[uncertain]] times. Thank you father for your blessing. (02/09/92)

Let them feel the [[presence]], Father, of their dear ones who have [[graduated]]. Let them [[feel]] the [[morontial]] [[joy]] in [[survival]] with the [[pain]] and longing and despair and [[doubt]] from their hearts for truly we are on a great ship going to a [[beautiful]] land on a divine journey. Let them feel their potential [[divinity]], and know that those who have gone on ahead are safe and [[secure]] in the love of their [[angels]] and their [[God]]. (02/17/92)

Rayson: And now we will end with a [[prayer]]. Dear Father, help us to [[discern]] your will and [[dedicate]] our wills more fully to doing your [[good]] works. Let us be more [[aware]] of higher [[values]] and apply them in [[word]], [[thought]], and deeds. Let us remember that every [[brother and sister]] has a divine [[Adjuster|element]] and a divine bestowal of [[personality]], and that even those we dislike are loved by you, Father. Let us go through life this week as advertisements for divine love and spread this benign [[virus]] of your [[love]] to others, Let us [[transform]] ourselves now. Michael will keep us in his [[mercy]] and love as [[Mother Spirit|Divine Mother]] ministers to each child during this coming week. (05/30/92)

RAYSON: So we will pray together. Thank you, Father, for this [[opportunity]] to work with these [[humans]]. We who are non-human have learned - and are [[learning]] - much. Their [[valiant]] [[faith]] [[inspires]] us ever onward. We [[bless]] each human [[soul]] and revere each [[Thought Adjuster|fragment of divinity]] in your children. We pray for their increased [[awareness]] of all of your ministers and for their increased love for each other. We thank you, Father, for the [[opportunity]] for us to know and [[love]] them and for them to know and love us. We thank you for [[Urantia]] and for all of the gifts, which you have given all of your children in [[time]] and [[eternity]]. Father, some day we know we will all see you with more than [[faith]]. We await that day in [[eternity]] and in [[worship]] to your greatness. We pray to do great good as we travel toward you, Father. May we be as merciful as Michael is, as [[wise]] as the Father, and as loving as Divine Spirit. (06/06/92)
