We do not, in [[fact]], seek to divide you with your [[Thought Adjuster]]. Rather we emphasize strongly that this is your ultimate connection to the Father's Indwelling Spirit in the Thought Adjuster, and the [[Spirit of Truth]], as well. If in our [[language]] we say that we are closer to you, this only means in terms of comprehension of our [[presence]]. It is difficult for most [[mortal]]s to reach the deep spiritual inner contact which they so desire. But through our [[morontia]] personalities who are much closer to you, we are able to facilitate this contact and we are quite pleased and overjoyed to do so. Your connection with the heavenly Father is, indeed, the supreme connection.

<u>It has been said somewhat truthfully that the [[Teaching Mission]] would follow the final paragraph¹ in the [[Urantia Book]] which urges you to make this contact. This was a strong and positive admonition at the time of the writing. We are here to help facilitate this contact.</u>

It has been said that we do not use [[Midwayers]] in the process. But, indeed we do, and they are quite valuable in many aspects including the downstepping of highly purified spiritual energies of such intensity that they must be downstepped for your [[presence]].

I would say further that we have been perceived as a problem in attracting new readers to the [[Urantia Book]]. Since the [[method]] of transmission in so-called [[channeling]], our critics would say that this is a somewhat nefarious practice associated with [[new age]] [[mysticism]]. I say to you that there is error in new age mysticism, error in [[perception]], just as there are errors of perception in the Holy [[Bible]]. But we must stress the commonalties in the considerable [[truth]] that we find in the Bible, in the Urantia Book, and in many other works of impact that are even now coming upon your scene.

I would urge you, just as you have not limited your knowledge and limited your [[spiritual growth]] to what you can read in the [[Bible]], which is a wonderful book, neither should you limit your spiritual growth and knowledge and development to what you can now read in the [[Urantia Book]].

HUMAN: I have a nagging question. If I don't ask it now I will probably forget to ask it later. When I was in Hawaii, I felt really connected with the [[dolphins]] and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whales whales]. In this [[book]] I was reading, the [[author]] had mentioned that the dolphins and whales are [[Midwayers]]. You were saying earlier how the Midwayers help prepare vibrational energies, helping those energies to come to our level so we can receive them. Is it true?

TARKAS: These highly advanced creatures are not actually Midwayers but they are strongly influenced and, in a sense, more accurately, they are full fledged collaborators with the Midwayers. Saying that they are subjected entirely to Midwayers' directions would be not giving these [[beautiful]], intelligent [[creatures]] their full due. In their [[collaboration]] they are quite more intelligent than before imagined. Has this answered your question?

1. Final (actually next to last)  paragraph that is the concluding "great challenge" of the text. It reads:

The great challenge to modern man is to achieve better [[communication]] with the [[divine Monitor]] that dwells within the [[human]] [[mind]]. Man's greatest [[adventure]] in the [[flesh]] consists in the well-[[balance]]d and sane effort to advance the borders of self-consciousness out through the dim realms of [[embryonic]] [[soul]]-consciousness in a wholehearted effort to reach the borderland of [[spirit]]-consciousness--contact with the [[divine]] [[presence]]. Such an experience constitutes [[God-consciousness]], an [[experience]] mightily confirmative of the pre-existent [[truth]] of the religious experience of knowing [[God]]. Such spirit-consciousness is the equivalent of the [[knowledge]] of the actuality of sonship with God. Otherwise, the assurance of sonship is the [[experience]] of '''faith'''.
