Sarah: I'm not getting a name of who this is.

As God creates, it is only a beginning. Each [[spirit]] must do his own [[unfolding]], his own [[creation]]. As the spiritual [[family]] on [[Urantia]], you hold together in unison to create a god. This filters down until we see the newborn baby who has to begin a creation of himself to the world and on into the heavens. The amount of creation you establish before leaving [[Urantia]] is the same amount you bring into the circle of God. There are no particular ways of living or chores to manage or any particular [[acts]]. As creation [[unfolds]] it is a matter of being able to create unto yourself. This is not easy; this takes a lot of [[faith]] in yourself that you are on the same [[plane]] of [[ascension]] as God Himself. We need to have you not looking at God and Jesus and the [[higher power]]s on a [[pedestal]], or you will never [[understand]] them. Let them fall off the pedestal and join you in the daily [[life]], in your lessons of life. [[Relax]] to know that all are in this [[together]].

Elyon (Mark): This is Elyon, and I would once again come among you with joy as we strive together to be of service to each other and to Michael.

===Lesson===

It is witnessed with joy your sharing of significant aspects, lessons in your lives, experiences you each have. These are how we can put back into play some previous truth balls as well as bring out of the footlocker new ones from time to time to play with. Indeed, it is true that there are many individuals on my side who desire to be useful and in service to you in some way, many teachers willing to discourse or be called into play. It is your familiarity with myself and with other leading personalities that confines your contact to these select individuals. It is in no way your shortcoming or fault that you are unaware of who to ask for, as until you have been exposed to a different personality you could not be expected to be familiar. It might be helpful to you on occasion to attempt to widen your sphere of influence to a greater teacher base available to you. I realize that this may challenge some of your comfort zones, as the unknown can be initially uncomfortable. But I encourage you to expand your horizons, to be open in your lives to teachers other than myself or the rather select group you have become familiar with. You should not have fear attached to this circumstance. I would suggest you pause to reflect on the comfort you experience in our contact together and realize that contact from another may be equally as comfortable to you in the end and, indeed, may prove enriching for your growth experience, as many times new insights are derived from fresh perspectives. For every question one seeks to answer, there are many answers to be given, all of which may help to fill the entire answer.

We have developed the relationship we enjoy together over a lengthy period of time, each of us investing ourselves as time goes by to build the relationship we now enjoy. This is true of teachers and students, of students with other students, of teachers with other teachers. It takes some effort on your part to build and maintain a relationship with any other individual in all the cosmos. So therefore, by word of encouragement, not only go out and meet and foster relationships with your brothers in the flesh, but also look forward to the opportunity between yourself and the as yet unmet personalities available to you through the grace of our sovereign Michael.

I would pause for you to examine in your own lives the many benefits you have derived from your contacts with others and how there may have been times of discomfort involved in any relationship, but a relationship fostered in love and tended to with great care can be a wellspring of enjoyment for your experience and for your growth. It truly would be a sad and isolated existence to not have the richness of this contact between yourselves. You should realize that as rich and fulfilling as these relationships have been, there are an unlimited number of opportunities for you to cultivate relationships equally as enjoyable and beneficial as the ones you now enjoy.

Would anyone care to interject a thought, observation, or truth ball into play at this time?

===Dialogue===

Evelyn: This is off the topic. I understand from the book that both God and Michael are our creators. I'm stumbling over conveying that briefly to another. I understand Michael as a brother but not as our father, seeing as how our personality comes from God.

Evelyn: This is off the [[topic]]. I [[understand]] from [[the book]] that both [[God]] and [[Michael]] are our creators. I'm stumbling over conveying that briefly to another. I understand Michael as a brother but not as our father, seeing as how our [[personality]] comes from God.

Elyon: Michael is your father in the respect that from him you originated. While it is true that personality is a divine gift from the Father, you still need to be created to enjoy and access this gift of God, this personality. Michael was created to be a creator, and in some limited sense you were created by Michael to be a creator. This same relationship holds true in that you, as you may create another living creature, do not bestow on them personality. This gift comes from the Father. And so on up through Michael; he is able to create universes and vast numbers of individuals. But it is still the personality fragment from God that is unique to each individual.

Do you have any comment?

Evelyn: I think of what humans do as procreate, not create, or is that the comparison, that procreation is comparable to his creation? Are we supposed to see him as creating us each individually rather than that he created mankind, or set the wheels in motion for us all to procreate? Or should we see it as he created us each one individually? I'm not sure my question is clear. Thank you for your comments.

Elyon: By referring to your ability to create more life on this world, your ancestry must be traced back to a dawn of mankind, which was the creation of Michael.

Mark: I'm sorry, I'm not able to pull this picture together. Perhaps another TR would be more effective.

Elyon (Jonathan): It would be more fitting to view Michael's creator abilities as the primary creator of you than the Father, in that the Father is a master creator, one who has revealed potential that may be enacted in time and space by Creator Sons. You may perhaps perceive it in this manner. Michael has created you as if you were a vessel such as a glass. He has created this form. He has likewise created the water that fills this glass. Not only in the broad scope of creature orders, but in the specific sense of each vessel, he has created these. It is complicated for the creature to understand the creator process. Much of your creative experience is replication, variation on creation. The Father's input is like a drop of lemon juice in this water. This infusion of personality is that additional uniqueness. But the Father did not choose to create the Urantia form of Nebadon mortal; this was Michael's design. Your specific creaturehood as one of these mortals is Michael's design.
