Let us begin.

The Love of the Father surrounds us. The power of the Father upholds us. The Light of the Father enfolds us. Wherever we gather, He is.

Good evening, it is I Will, your teacher who loves you.

We look upon you, our dear students, as more than charges given us by our superiors. We look on you as friends, as family, and as family, we both give and receive love and help from one another.

As you advance in your universe career, you will see with a much broader perspective. You will understand that the all, this family to which you belong, encompasses much more than the world you live upon, much more than this local universe, of which your planet is but one small part, it encompasses the all of infinity. All creatures therein are a part of this extended family.

As you advance in your [[universe career]], you will see with a much broader [[perspective]]. You will [[understand]] that the all, this [[family]] to which you belong, [[encompasses]] much more than the world you live upon, much more than this [[local universe]], of which [[your planet]] is but one small part, it encompasses the all of [[infinity]]. All [[creatures]] therein are a part of this extended [[family]].

Mortals of Urantia (earth), it seems, have a most difficult time with reaching out to embrace all other mortals of your realm, and embracing them as brother and sister. The expanded understanding of family is one you will continue to struggle with, to work at helping others to enlarge their understanding of family, as you continue on your progressive path. Many of the lessons you learn and incorporate within your being, on this your first world, you will continue to struggle with and expand upon as you move ever inward toward the Father.

The understanding you now have will need to be broadened and much enlarged as you proceed to the Mansion worlds and beyond. You may at any given point believe you have mastered a concept, only to discover you are once again foundering and unsure as you progress on your chosen path. There will come a time in the far distant future, when you will feel more comfortable with these much enlarged concepts of science, math, philosophy, the spiritual hierarchy, and so on, yet even then, you’ll recognize that as you develop, as you progress, so do the concepts you are grappling with expand and need revision. Nothing in the entire universe that you understand is static; everything grows and evolves. And so it is, with our relationship with the Father. All things evolve and encompass progressively larger areas of understanding.

I know that as this mission expands to include more and more of our brothers and sisters, so too, will the teachings within the schools expand to shed greater and greater light upon our Creator’s plan for this His beloved Urantia and it’s peoples. We would have you recognize that all things have within them a natural ebb and flow. Times of enlightenment and times of doubting. Times when we become stronger and times we become less strong. These things when looked at from your perspective are seen to be of little forward movement. Yet when seen from our perspective, the movement is seen as great strides at time and small backward steps at others.

That is all I have to say this evening on this topic. However, I would like to bring to mind those times when you allow yourselves to become conduits through which the Father may make His Love manifest to others. Try over the next week to dare to be bold, to step out of your comfort zone to that next step wherein you feel unsure. Allow the Father to control the situation; that is the area through which the Father works best. That is when you allow Him more control over the situation. So, dear students, when you have the opportunity to step out of that comfort zone, see if you can’t push yourselves to act. You will come away from the encounter feeling charged, excited, better able to do the Father’s work when the next opportunity presents itself.

As always I leave you with my blessing, and remind you once again of the importance of the time you spend with the Father on a daily basis. It is, as you know, from here that the initial love and energy comes from that allows you to begin His work each day.
