We the editors of the Kona Transcripts would like to present a short description of the history and circumstances that brought about these papers.

We the [[editors]] of the ''Kona Transcripts'' would like to present a short [[description]] of the [[history]] and [[circumstances]] that brought about these papers.

Our Kona Urantia Community dates back to 1971, when several of the founding members settled coffee and macadamia nut farms on the slopes of Mauna Loa just above the shores of historic Kealakekua Bay. As the years past, many UB readers from the other islands and the mainland joined them and soon many children joined too. Most still live here. Study Groups meet each week as they have for many, many, years. This is a loose association of independent like minded people who have truly grown into a community.

Our group became aware of the Woods Cross Transcripts in July, 1992. These were soon followed by the Will lessons, Aflana and friends, Daniel and Welmek. Then in November of 1992, we were told about the hot pen method of writing while in the meditation stillness. Many of us decided to step out in faith and see if it would work. These papers are the result.

Our group became aware of the [[Woods Cross TeaM|Woods Cross]] Transcripts in July, 1992. These were soon followed by the [[Will]] lessons, [[Aflana]] and friends, [[Daniel]] and [[Welmek]]. Then in November of 1992, we were told about the ''hot pen method'' of [[writing]] while in the [[meditation]] [[stillness]]. Many of us [[decided]] to step out in [[faith]] and see if it would work. These papers are the result.

Also included in these papers are the transmissions received by Pati who was not a member of our study group or a Urantia Book reader, but overheard us talking about the hot pen method, tried it, and as you can see by the results presented here, she was very successful.

All of us have come to enjoy the process we are experiencing, and we all agree it has been a positive force for spiritual change in our lives. As Aflana would say, "Try it, you’ll like it!"

As many of the transcripts were first recorded on tape, there has been a loss of continuity in some information received due to low volume or static problems. We choose to leave them in and hope that the general meaning can be gleaned.
