TARA: Please help me to [[understand]] the [[validity]] of the “[[Teaching Mission]].” Apparently there are some who feel this mission is not valid and that we are really only on [[ego]] trips of self [[delusion]]. I don’t feel I’m being egotistical or led astray. I only want the [[truth]] and only the truth. I am [[sincere]] in my involvement with the mission as a [[transmitter]]. I have come to [[trust]] in the mission and its [[purposes]] and I do realize that there is the danger of human [[error]] and [[contamination]] of the [[transcripts]], even our [[UB|beloved book]] was not above error we were told.
Please [[clarify]] for me. Am I truly receiving or is it only coming from my deep [[mind]] in remembering what I have [[read]] in the [[Urantia Book]]?
BERTRAM: Little one, have we not so often told you not to [[doubt]]? We are indeed in [[communication]] with you. You need not [[fear]] or be disturbed by what you may [[read]] which is in [[opposition]] to the work of this [[Teaching Mission]].
There will always be misunderstandings between, in and among, any [[organization]] of men even when the [[desire]] is of the [[purest]] [[intent]]. Each of you are [[individuals]], your teachers are individuals, and each [[express]] themselves in many [[diverse]] ways. We endeavour to gently and [[wisely]] guide you into all truth and in accordance with the [[Urantia Book]] revelations. We do not intend to usurp, or rewrite, or add to the Fifth Epochal Revelation given by divine [[mandate]] for [[Urantia]] for this new dispensation.
Human nature, being what it is in its evolving, is prone to [[error]] in [[understanding]], [[perception]] and [[motives]], especially when the [[ego]] becomes inflated. This is why we stress the [[attitudes]] of [[humbleness]], and [[sincerity]] and child-likeness in our [[transmitter]]/receivers. Only with this [[trusting]] and [[simple]] and [[selfless]], loving attitude can we transmit our lessons to you as clearly and as [[purely]] as possible.
There will no [[doubt]] be errors made, for we are not completed in our [[perfection]] [[process]], as you well know. It is through your [[faith]], our faith, that we all [[progress]] together step by step towards [[Paradise]] in our [[Ascension Career|ascension journey]] home.
[[This Mission]] is so very new on [[Urantia]], and not understood fully as of this [[moment]] in time on you beloved planet home. Let not this [[discourage]] you, for truly you are all [[pioneers]], opening the way for the coming era of [[Light and Life]] on [[Urantia]]. It is beginning among the common [[folk]] first, as has always been the case in ages [[past]], in other eras of [[the Father]]’s work on this planet. Those in [[power]] and [[authority]] worldwide will yet come up against you who labour in the fields of [[the Master]].
We would only ask of you to consider the “[[fruits of the spirit]]” displayed by [[this Mission]]:
Are lives being [[changed]] for the better?
Are lives enriched [[physically]], [[mentally]], [[spiritually]]?
Is [[brotherhood]] enhanced?
Is the [[Fatherhood of God]] made more real?
Is [[faith]] enhanced and strengthened?
Is the [[morontia life]], indeed [[eternal life]], made more real, understandable, [[desired]] and believed [[attainable]]?
Is the [[destiny]] of [[Paradise]] and the finding of [[the Father]] made more real to you?
Does [[the Mission]] teach the religion of [[Jesus]] as He taught and lived it?
Are not all [[encouraged]] to seek the Father daily in the [[stillness]]?
Are not all encouraged to seek the Father daily in the stillness?
Do we not teach the [[supreme]] importance of the [[free will]] of all [[mankind]] and the supreme authority of the will of God, [[revealed]] to you through your [[Thought Adjusters]] and the [[Spirit of Truth]]?
Think on these things:
Think on these things:
Do the lessons of [[the teachers]] [[inspire]] you to live better and [[change]] to [[become]] more [[God-like]], more loving towards all you meet no matter who they are?
Do the lessons ring true within [[your soul]]?
Do the lessons ring true within your soul?
Truly you must [[judge]] for yourself to [[accept]] or [[reject]] your calling into this [[service]].
Your [[faithfulness]], [[steadfastness]], [[dedication]] to [[the mission]] must be your own [[free will]] choice. Your [[faithfulness]], [[dedication]] and [[devotion]] to [[Christ Michael]] is above all your first [[duty]], your first love fulfilment.
The [[divine]] [[purpose]], the divine plan, is now and ever set in [[motion]] for the [[birth]], development and actualization of your evolving [[immortal soul]], its care and nourishment and [[growth]] here and through all [[eternity]]. Under Christ [[Michael]] and [[Machiventa]] Melchizedek and [[your teachers]], this is indeed our highest [[purpose]] in this [[Teaching Mission]].
Little one, rest [[assured]], we are here only for your highest [[good]]. There are certainly other avenues and [[paths]] open and available to you for your [[free will]] choosing. Never do we [[coerce]] or desire to compel any of Gods children to walk this [[path]] home. You must each choose what rings true within your own [[soul]] and what you feel best nourishes you and enhances your personal [[soul growth]].
Accomplishing your circles of attainment here is the important thing in all your growth, no matter how you accomplish that goal, even if it is accomplished unconsciously. All in all, when all is said and done, and the mortal seeker has completed his sojourn in this flesh of mortal habitation, when natural death arrives, as it will to each and everyone of you, then shall all come to fruitation and clarity. The progression made is always the responsibility of each individual personality by the choices made during his earthly life. And all die at differing degrees of attainment. Where there is even the slightest flicker of hope, of faith, of desire on the part of the evolving soul, survival is assured. They each continue onward, on the mansion worlds and so continue on in their ascension careers homeward.

They each continue onward, on the [[mansion worlds]] and so continue on in their [[ascension career]]s homeward.
May this lesson tonight put your mind at rest and [[inspire]] you to go forward in your calling to [[service]] in this [[Teaching Mission]].
I am and ever remain your teacher, Bertram.
