JUDI: Our [[conversations]] earlier were about many of us [[feeling]] like we had reached a [[plateau]] and, perhaps, like unmotivated [[students]] of yours. We are not [[worried]] or [[complaining]] because we all know that we have made tremendous[[ spiritual growth]] over the last year and a half. But, we wanted to know if you have any [[strategies]] or ways of helping us to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catapult catapult] ourselves up to the next level and become re-[[engerized]] spiritually.

WILL: The days and nights [[flow]] into one another so quickly yet the [[time]] can seem long, the days passing slowly as you enter a [[phase]] wherein you are not capable of detecting [[growth]]. This does not mean growth does not occur. It is a [[subtle]] thing. Just as you are not always [[aware]] of the passage of [[time]], so also are you not aware of the [[growth]] [[process]]. It is [[natural]] to seek validation of one's own [[growth]] much as you mark a wall to see your [[child]]'s growth. This is tangible [[proof]] to a [[mortal]] [[mind]] that such growth has occurred. To [[believe]] that growth is occurring when one is not [[aware]] of it -- many suggestions have been [[spoken]] aloud tonight among the various group members regarding ways in which to feel a certain [[connectedness]] and the [[joy]] that comes with that connectedness with [[the Father]]. There are many ways to revitalize your [[energies]] in carrying out the task of following [[the Father]]'s will. Which you [[choose]] should be an [[individual]] [[choice]] as not all [[share]] the same [[methods]] of reaching [[the Father]] just as He has many methods of reaching His [[individual]] children. Does this answer suffice?

???: There is a place within which one must come to in order to reach the awareness of the spiritual world. When on the outside looking in, it may seem difficult, even impossible, to find that place within. Yet, with time and some effort on the mortal's part it can and will be found.

Good evening and greetings to you all. I am one who comes to speak to you tonight in the absence of your regular teacher, Will. The transmission seems to be more difficult for Nadine who is experiencing some trouble in picking up my words. Those of you assembled here have shown your ability to disseminate information and discern the truth found therein. I have listened to your discussions tonight regarding many varied aspects of life on your planet. Your abilities to discern these truths is certainly one of God's greatest gifts to mankind. Without the Spirit of Truth enveloping your world, it would indeed be a darkened and fear-ridden planet. You would do well to utilize this ability at all times, in all circumstances. It will save you from much fear, much wasted time.

Good evening and greetings to you all. I am one who comes to [[speak]] to you tonight in the [[absence]] of your regular [[teacher]], Will.

The many choices facing your planet today have varying degrees of impact on the spiritual level. How mankind chooses will ultimately affect him not only on a physical plane but also on his spiritual journey. It is not the choosing of whether your planet will survive or not. This is beyond your means to choose. However, decisions must be made that will affect mortals world-wide. I desire to tell you that it is worthwhile to contemplate these things. Perhaps in doing so, a better solution will be found. It is beneficial to you even if no solution is found. Changes can only occur on a personal level one by one by one. The individual who will spend time even contemplating these problems will grow from the experience and become more loving of his fellow man through this process. I do not believe this will be difficult for you as you are all seeking a higher path by your own freewill choice. Because you are seeking, you will find many answers that others may not be aware of yet.

It is through this [[seeking]] that you [[attain]] [[spiritual growth]] though not always [[discernible]] to the [[mortal]] who is [[experiencing]] it. Rest [[assured]] it is occurring, however. I would leave you with this [[wish]]. That you continue to seek and [[grow]] for it is in [[the Master]]'s [[plan]] that many workers in [[the kingdom]] will be [[necessary]]. You are his workers. [[Remember]] this as you go forth each to his own world of [[personal]] [[circumstances]] in the days to come. Thank for your [[attentiveness]] and for your [[dedication]] to [[the Father]]'s work. I bid you all farewell.

Many of you gathered in the room tonight have greatly improved your understanding of the processes by which understanding of your fellow man is best accomplished. The word, "tolerance" should be at the head of any list when one is gathering together ways of action to be used in the dealings with your fellow men. The world is comprised of a hodgepodge of many individuals with varying degrees of intelligence, manners of speech, actions and beliefs. To successfully integrate with others your ideas and beliefs requires a careful study of the mannerisms with which Jesus walked around through his earthly ministry. His example still stands apart as the best set of guidelines for you to emulate. When one is confronted with an unusual situation or person there is no better base to operate from than that of thinking to yourself, "How would Jesus have handled this?". If only in this exercise you could achieve some regular success, then you will have been much furthered along on the spiritual path.

The many types of people encountered throughout your lifetime, and particularly at such gatherings as were being held last week (IC93-editor), present you with an endless variety of opportunities for growth. The manner in which you receive and interact with each individual you encounter enables you to expand your knowledge and, perhaps, have a direct uplifting effect on that individual as well. Your progress in these areas has been noted and we are indeed pleased with your persistent efforts. The group meetings recently sponsored by the Urantia Fellowship group were looked upon with great interest and we feel that it was productive and meaningful for those who were able to attend. I was pleased to have several representatives from our group to be able to attend and to be able to return and share with the others some of the goings on. I also was pleased to be able to attend myself as a first hand observer. There were many [in attendance] from among the various teaching groups which proved beneficial to all concerned. Many a chord was struck although not always apparent.

This comes at a good time, for soon our work will be upstepped again. We will be asking you to pay more attention to your dealings with others whereby more may be touched with the Father's love through you, our workers in the mission. This is not new. You have been asked to do this before. It is, for most, an ongoing struggle to remain in the constant flow of the Father's love, sharing it with those around you. There are many distractions. We would only ask that you attempt to spend more time in conscious thought and deed as you continue in your work trying to do the Father's will in all that you do. You will accomplish much. It is a work filled with joy. When you have love to give, you also are filled with the love - the loving feeling that must surely fill you to overflowing if you are to have love to pass on. I think you will like the feeling. The Father pours His blessing out over all of you, each and every one. Not only at the given moment, but throughout the day. It only takes a moment to recognize it. Take in all that you can and pass on to others what is left. There will never be a shortage; it is always an abundance. It is the most pleasant work I can imagine. You will be lifted up, filled with the Father's love and joy and also, importantly, you will be filling another, touching another with that love. This is what is required of you in your work. We think that you will like it.

It is good to be back among you, among my friends. You are all very dear to me. I have missed our time together. I send you all my love tonight. That is all I have to say.

The Father sends forth His love into the world to be shared freely with all. Although many may never hear Him, there are those such as yourselves who not only know of Him but go forth into the world with their feet firmly planted on the path of service. It will take many more to accomplish His work. As we know it to be truth, it is sometimes easy to share in your experience with Him. The wonders and joys can be gained by a life lived following His will. As each of you sets out of His path of service you should remember most of all that He is there with you, over every hill, through every forest, to the very end. You are all seeking ways in which to serve Him. All are needed, as it will take many individuals to effect the changes that are necessary. We see the work you have done already and we are pleased, however, this is not a time for rest. Much effort is still needed, not only on this level, one on one contact, as the work progresses. I foresee a time when things will be much better for all mortals living on Urantia. This will only occur after much work and effort has been expended. We are here to help as much as we are able, but it will not be us who accomplish these changes.

The time will come when each of you has moved along on your individual path to a point where you will be of great assistance in the ongoing mission to bring Urantia to the time of Light and Life. No small deed goes unnoticed. All work for the Father aids in the accomplishment of this goal. Therefore, I propose that as you go forth this week, to be more mindful of the small deeds of good that you are able to do. Each of you is capable of working within the environment in which you're placed to effectuate good during many moments of your day. This is what I would ask of you as you continue to climb upward, struggling, perhaps, against the mainstream of thought, sure of your purpose. Do not neglect your own spiritual feeding. You can more easily share from your plate when you are full.

That is all I have to say. I wish for you all to feel the joy that comes from knowing the Father, living in His light, striving to do His will. His love for you is so great and it knows no barrier. Until we meet again, I send you my love as well. You should know that I look in on all of you throughout the week and I care about what happens to you. God's peace be with you.
