Opening statement and [prayer of St. Francis

Daniel: "Good evening my friends. It is I, Daniel, your teacher. Welcome to a new beginning, a new time for Urantia. Yes, the Kingdom of the Father, the Kingdom which Christ Michael has initiated, has brought truth about, is in the awakening of its cocoon stage. In and through the giving of the Urantia Book and now through the teaching mission, that which has been dormant for much time is waking from the sleep. And through these beginnings, through people as yourselves, will this good news be spread out so that the Christian religion can begin its evolution and revolution into greater truths.

Daniel: "Good evening my [[friends]]. It is I, Daniel, your [[teacher]]. Welcome to a new beginning, a new time for [[Urantia]]. Yes, [[the Kingdom]] of [[the Father]], the Kingdom which [[Christ]] [[Michael]] has [[initiated]], has brought [[truth]] about, is in the [[awakening]] of its [[cocoon]] stage. In and through the giving of the [[Urantia Book]] and now through the [[Teaching Mission]], that which has been [[dormant]] for much time is waking from the [[sleep]]. And through these beginnings, through people as yourselves, will this good news be spread out so that the [[Christian]] [[religion]] can begin its [[evolution]] and [[revolution]] into greater [[truths]].

Know that at hand is a new time. At hand is the beginning of great things. You who daily work to bring forth truth within your own lives will help to bring forth the truth in the lives of those around you. Because of your love, because of your willingness to follow the Father, the seeds that you will scatter will be the beginnings for the new Urantia.

Because of your [[love]], because of your willingness to follow [[the Father]], the [[seeds]] that you will scatter will be the beginnings for the new [[Urantia]].

Have much faith! Be open and hopeful. Do not become pessimistic with the daily struggles, the world wide daily troubles. Hold instead a more enlightened view, one which will fill you and those around you with hope, with the promise of a new and better life; one which is enlightened with truth; one that is enlightened with the spirit of love; one which is enlightened with the knowledge of eternal ascension, with the knowledge that the attainment of being with the First Source and Center is very much a part of your heritage because you are His son and daughter. Indeed, let there be in a part of your being a sense of joy and jubilation, a sense of hope and a sense that which has been decreed is beginning and will come to fruition."

Abraham: "Greetings. I am Abraham. I have come here today to give to this group my love and admiration. I have come to express to you our gratitude in your service, in gratitude for your desire to follow the Father. The Teaching Mission is becoming more and more a vehicle through which the new revelation of the Kingdom will be given. As you have accepted, so have you accepted within your being those gifts of the spirit which will enhance and give you support in helping to be open to the call of your brothers and sisters. You will become more knowledgeable about those things which require immediate attention to help them in their physical struggles and also in their spiritual struggles.

Continue to follow your teacher Daniel's lessons in building that foundation, in preparing yourselves. For it is, indeed, with the individual that change comes about. Once you are whole and stronger you can be pillars for others. Michael is pleased with the progress that is being made and the pathway that is being paved by those such as yourselves. Be ye prepared, for what lies ahead will call for you to be strong in spirit! My fellow brothers and sisters, I am happy to be able to serve in this great mission and to see this planet is not forgotten, only it has had to wait for more spiritual guidance which has descended upon this planet in a multitude of ways. Strengthen your resolve to know the Father, that you may serve Him and love Him, and by thus doing you will serve one another. Questions will now be entertained by Daniel. My love and peace go with each of you as you live out your lives, my fellow brothers and sisters."

N1: "Hello, Daniel. Your statement about the evolution/revolution within Christianity that would be brought about by the Urantia Book and the Teaching Mission and the conversation I had last night leads me to ask you about the many other religions in the world, and the many other sources of truth. What will be happening in those religions as the spiritual pressure increases? And perhaps you can answer that more completely, the full range of my questions there. Thank you."

Daniel: "Indeed, the Christian religion is but a part of the whole and is a part of that which you are more conversant with and knowledgeable about. The Spirit of Truth has been poured out upon the land and with the 'new presence' of Michael, will be more encompassing. As more and more people come into those truths which are eternal there will not be the disparity and differences between belief systems. There will be more and more unity in the essential truths. As it is now, most of your religions on this plane are monolithic in believing in One Deity, and this has been a start. As you understand from the teachings in the Urantia Book, there is much more. Yet it is a beginning basis for a belief in eternal life, in ascension, in the brotherhood of mankind, humankind. And so indeed will there be much more evolution/revolution among all religions in that they will, over time, slowly emerge with a more unified structure which embodies the truth of the Father. It will not, of course, happen overnight.

But be assured that the Kingdom of the Father is not for a select few, but for all. And because of this, even now as I speak there is celestial help being poured out in all areas. For in most religions there are essential truths. And these are being heightened and brought into more intensity. Know that it is important that even though the overall picture is to have the masses in understanding of the Father, it must begin with the individual and a personal experience, a personal experience with the Father. And thus religion must be a living experience. This is what is the total goal for the planets. And so with each individual there will be help available so that the personal experience can be manifested in their life. All of you are brothers and sisters and the doors to the Isle of Paradise are open to all. It is only those who choose not to, who do not walk through those doors, so to speak. Help is being given, indeed!"

N1: "Thank you, Daniel. One further question along those lines. How do we as a group or how do I as an individual escape the dogmatism of past religions in the sense of 'having the truth'? And as we spread the news and the excitement, how can we also avoid the pitfalls?"

N1: "Thank you, Daniel. One further [[question]] along those lines. How do we as a group or how do I as an [[individual]] [[escape]] the [[dogmatism]] of past [[religions]] in the sense of 'having the truth'? And as we spread the news and the [[excitement]], how can we also avoid the pitfalls?"

Daniel: "Such as??"

Daniel: "Such as??"

N1: "..of appearing dogmatic and intolerant or being? I don't know whether it's being or appearing intolerant and dogmatic in the sense of thinking that we have the truth."

N1: "..of appearing [[dogmatic]] and [[Bigot|intolerant]] or being? I don't know whether it's being or appearing intolerant and [[dogmatic]] in the sense of [[thinking]] that we have the [[truth]]."

Daniel: "All you are asked to do is to plant seeds and to give your brothers and sisters a new light, a new perspective. To become dogmatic in yourself will stunt your own personal growth. One must, as you have witnessed over the last few years in your own life, be willing and ready to be open to the calling and the prompting of the Indwelling Spirit. If you can realize that the religion of life is to be living and to be a personal walk with the Father, then you will realize that while others seem to walk a slightly different path than yourself, this may not necessarily mean that they are not living a personal experience with the Father; that they have indeed their sights set on following His will, as do you. To begin to believe that because you are knowledgeable of truth means that you confine it to one set of principles or one dogma, one practice, is not growth promoting. To realize that religion must grow and evolve as does man, and as man becomes further along in evolution, so, too, do the doors to more enlightenment and change descend upon the realm of mankind. And in the personal lives of each individual this happens daily. To avoid those pitfalls one must be in daily communication with the Father, to seek that quiet so that you are ever in the framework of knowing what the Father's will is. When you are striving to truly turn over yourself to Him, when you sit in the quiet, then does the Thought Adjuster, your own Indwelling Fragment of the Father help you in seeing the truth, in growing in the truth. And as long as you are growing in the truth you, yourself, can not be dogmatic. Does this help?"

N1: "Yes, Daniel. That was very helpful. Thank you."

N1: "Yes, Daniel. That was very helpful. Thank you."

B1: "Daniel, before the meeting K3 read us a transmission from Oregon in which the Revelatory Commission spoke, and then as you began speaking, making I felt in a sense, an announcement, it almost reminded me of Ham last year in Los Angeles. Do I have the sense that your statement and the statement we heard from Oregon are connected and that other groups are going to be hearing similar kinds of announcements? That is the end of my question."

Do I have the sense that your [[statement]] and the statement we heard from Oregon are [[connected]] and that other groups are going to be hearing similar kinds of [[announcements]]? That is the end of my question."

Daniel: "The time is at hand for all groups, all individuals to realize that in order to follow His will one must be stirred to action, must be ready to live in a manner that displays a personal experience of walking with the Father, of walking to the Father via Christ Michael. And so know that as time goes on you will be faced with situations where you will be called upon to live the religion of Christ Michael. This is all."
