Greetings. This is Rayson. I'm delighted to see you here today, my [[friends]]. Today's lesson will be somewhat [[complex]], for we shall be joining the threads of [[three]] separate subjects together, intertwining them. I shall be doing this increasingly in the remaining lessons, for my [[time]] with you grows short, regrettably. [Later]

Greetings. This is Rayson. I'm delighted to see you here today, my friends. Today's lesson will be somewhat complex, for we shall be joining the threads of three separate subjects together, intertwining them. I shall be doing this increasingly in the remaining lessons, for my time with you grows short, regrettably. [Later]

S: One more question please, sir. You said your time was short. Does that mean another will follow you?

R: I am not at liberty to discuss this. As far as I know the plan is still being discussed.

R: I am not at [[liberty]] to discuss this. As far as I know the [[plan]] is still being [[discussed]].

S: Do we need to be at a certain level when you're finished with us in order to get another teacher? Or is the question are we doing OK with your instruction?

S: Do we need to be at a certain level when you're finished with us in order to get another [[teacher]]? Or is the question are we doing OK with your instruction?

R: You are doing extremely well. The original plan, as I understand, was for the students to grow into teachers, each and every one.

S: When you say your time is extremely short, can you give us a time concept of that?

S: When you say your time is extremely short, can you give us a [[time]] [[concept]] of that?

R: Not at this point, but we are not quite there yet.

R: Not at this [[point]], but we are not quite there yet.

S: Rayson, this is (S). Is your limited time with us related to the August 21st millennium culmination of the rebellion, whatever's going to be happening, birthday party, I guess, yes?

S: Rayson, this is (S). Is your [[limited]] [[time]] with us related to the August 21st millennium culmination of [[the rebellion]], whatever's going to be happening, birthday party, I guess, yes?

R: No, it is more closely related to the extent of progress in spiritual growth that has occurred among the students of a given group. This group has done well, and it has been determined that the requirement for a teacher is becoming less and less as you proceed forward. Our goal is to help you along until you are sufficiently advanced to become an independently functioning unit in conjunction with your indwelling Adjuster. This is the way in which all of the universes function. It is the most efficient way. I sense regret.

S: Sadness.

S: Sadness.

R: But why be sad when you have something that so few others have been privileged to share?

R: But why be sad when you have something that so few others have been [[privileged]] to [[share]]?

S: It's to be in the dark for 350,000 years, then to meet a new friend, and then be told that this friend is leaving is a great, is a human emotion for sadness. That makes me want to cry.

S: But you're not leaving, are you, Rayson? You'll be with us individually?

S: But you're not leaving, are you, Rayson? You'll be with us [[individually]]?

R: Yes, of course, and I will be available for questions.

R: Yes, of course, and I will be available for [[questions]].

S: Oh, I feel better. (12/18/93)

Greetings, this is Rayson. I am delighted to see you, all of you, gathered here today. This is a special day for we have very few lessons remaining, and I would like to announce that we shall be allowed to continue a second phase in this particular group. Originally, my plan was to give a set number of lessons to the body of this group, not constrained so much by time as by content considerations. We have nearly completed the course of study, so to speak. However, some in this group have expressed the desire for an extended period of work with this group and teacher; therefore I have been given permission to embark upon a higher level of study with this particular group. I am very excited and enthusiastic about this prospect and we believe that this group is well suited for a higher level study course. Are there any questions about this?

S: I wonder if this is also because we have several newer readers, newer members of our group?

S: I wonder if this is also because we have several newer [[readers]], newer members of our [[group]]?

R: That was a consideration, however not a major one, for, as you know, during the course of this mission many have come and gone and because of efforts at transcription of the lessons, the core content is available for review by new members of the teaching mission. The major consideration in allowing an extension with this group was more related to the fact that there is a great hunger for knowledge and a great willingness to participate in the business of incorporating these lessons into every day life on the part of the main body of participants in this particular teaching group. Does that answer? 41

R: It will be much hard work for you.

R: It will be much hard [[work]] for you.

S: Rayson, I want to also say I'm so excited about the fact that you're willing to continue on. The hard work I think we'll welcome, so thank you very, very much. That's exciting.

S: What is happening with Bertrand's group, too, that's being allowed to continue?

S: What is happening with Bertrand's group, too, that's being allowed to continue?

R: Yes. That group, too, has prospered and made good progress. Remember, my friends, that one of the goals of this teaching mission is to produce a core of human teachers, meaning yourselves and the others who are involved with other groups, who will go forth and continue this most difficult task of uplifting Urantia and disseminating not only these teachings but ongoing messages that each of you will be receiving through the universe circuits as transmitted to you by your indwelling Thought Adjuster.

S: Can you tell us, do you have any ideas about how long the second phase would last in terms of numbers of lessons or a time frame?
