===Opening===
 
WELMEK: Once again, greetings my friends. I cannot tell you how much I look forward to our weekly meetings. It brings me much pleasure to be able to gather with you and share thoughts and feelings. This is something that we have begun to take for granted. It is something that we should not, for you never know what tomorrow will bring. Always strive in your daily life to do the best that you can and to seek the Father's will. Never allow anything, if possible, to keep you from doing this. As we have discussed in the past, when those things keep you from seeking the will the way in which you desire, do not become anxious or frustrated.

===Lesson===
 
Allow these times to pass, for they surely will. Always look forward to the new moment when you can start anew. Never look back. Learn from your past, but never live it. This is most important, for this, indeed, is a frailty of the human nature. The Father loves you all deeply, and I love you also. I will never stop. You are a part of my eternity now. And one day you will realize that I am a part of yours. It is a glorious thing, doing the Father's will. You will never get tired of it, once you fully understand the universe ascension career. For now, in your life, do as I have asked. Worship each day. Pray each day. Love your brothers and sisters as Jesus has asked you to do, and forgive them, as he has forgiven all of us. Next week, Ham will be here. He will have a few words for you to think about. For now, I wish to begin our session this evening on talking about character and the building thereof. You have been asked to prepare yourselves with thoughts in reference to this concept. In order to build character, you must understand what character is. Does anyone wish to begin?

===Dialogue===
 
Q: The Urantia Book defines character as that part of an individual that changes and grows, distinct from the personality pattern. Character is a changing and growing aspect of us. It's not static.

   Line 346: Line 351:     
A: It is exactly what we are talking about. It is literally true, my friends, I will say it again. Whatever you do for your brothers and sisters, it is noted and you will be made aware of it at a later date. You are always rewarded for those things that you do that help spread love, joy and happiness. It is not easy to love someone that does not love you, but it is a task that you have at hand. For those will come to you in the future with open arms and minds, and there will be those that come to you with closed minds and closed arms and harsh words. Love your enemies as yourself. Did not the Master demand this of all of us?

Learn to accept your enemies as ones who are still children of the Father who simply have different ways of viewing reality. I wish to conclude this evening's meeting. I want to wish you all a good evening.
