==='''''[[Preparation]]''''', '''''[[Correcting Time]]'''''===
There is a great and mighty work to be done on earth in [[preparation]] of the times ahead for your beloved [[Urantia]]. We need your visual [[demonstration]] of [[the Father]]’s love to all his children. Only through you and your loving [[actions]] does the world see the religion of [[Jesus]] in action upon the earth. Pause in your daily rush in life to see, actually see, and [[understand]] and love your brother. Pause to take time with him, to [[share]] with him, to [[listen]] to him and to [[interact]] with him. One at a time, [[moment]] by moment, gently lead him into the Father’s [[embrace]] that you so richly enjoy. Help him to understand the Fathers’ [[love]] for him. Demonstrate to him the [[growing]] “[[fruits of the spirit]]” in your own lives through your loving [[service]] to him, your confiding [[trust]] and [[confidence]] in the [[promises]] of [[the Father]].

You must now put these [[principles]] into positive [[action]] in your daily and personal life. The world must see the religion of [[Jesus]] in [[action]], in [[service]]. You are truly His [[ambassadors]] of [[the kingdom]] on [[Urantia]], prepared and being [[prepared]] to represent Him to His children in [[time and space]]. Therefore, let the ”Fruits of His Spirit” shine forth in your life as you exemplify Him to all you meet each day.

TARA: Is there a message tonight?
TARA: Is there a message tonight?
==='''''[[Stillness]]'''''===
MALCOM: Yes, little one. We would like to bring you a lesson regarding the [[practice]] of going into the [[stillness]] and there to [[commune]] with [[the Father]] within.
First ask yourself, do I really [[believe]] the Father dwells within me? Does a very part of Him, His spirit [[essence]] truly live there and [[experiences]] my life with me moment by [[moment]]? Has He really given to me a living fragment of His being called my [[Thought Adjuster]]?
If you really and truly believe that He is there within; if you truly have this living [[faith]] in the [[Universal Father]] to so dwell there as He has [[promised]], then you can have [[faith]] that He can hear you and [[commune]] with you, and be a very part of your [[life]].
We [[encourage]] you to take time each day and sit in quiet [[communion]] with Him and believe and have confiding [[trust]] that He is there with you. In faith take hold of the [[divine]] hand that reaches out to you, as you reach out to Him in [[faith]] and [[trust]]. [[Experience]] His love there and His [[peace]] which He shall give you. Be refreshed in your spirit and know that you are so dearly loved, a child of His. Within you He is ever nourishing and [[guiding]] you in your [[soul development]].
You are never [[alone]] in this walk with God. Walk with Him daily. Turn to Him not only in times of need, but also as you go about your daily tasks each day and when you stop to [[enjoy]] the [[beautiful]] [[bounty]] of all His creations about you. Remember the [[joy]] you experienced watching the wee ant carry his load to his nest and the [[trials]] he overcame in getting his load [[home]]? [[Simple]] things like this bring you closer to [[the Father]]. By [[analogy]]; the Father also watches over you and rejoices with you as you overcome your own trials and [[adversities]] on the way home. There is so much you can learn from the world around you, if you are watchful and alert and let [[the Father]] [[share]] in your walk of life and teach you.
Never forget how very much [[the Father]] loves each and every one of you. He is your Eternal Parent, [[your Father]], and some day you will meet with Him face to face on His Eternal Isle of [[Paradise]]. Now in this [[time]], you can commune with Him in the [[spirit]] and come to know Him as the loving Father He is of all His creatures, here also in [[the universes]] of [[time and space]].
Remember our lesson regarding the [[plan]] of God? It is a sure plan of [[ascension]] set in motion for all God’s children in [[time and space]] to guide them on their way [[home]] and He has promised never to leave you nor [[forsake]] you on that long and [[adventurous]] journey, not now or in the [[future]]. Your faithful personal [[Adjuster]] will ever be with you, now and for all [[eternity]].

I leave you now to think on these things.

We give ourselves in dedication to your work and to your world. Do guide and direct us now. We are ever thankful for your love and tender kindness towards us. We ask that your teachers now come to us and teach us what is needful for us tonight. We thank you, Father.

TEACHERS: Greetings to you all. It is our pleasure to be with you this evening, to see you gathered here. We realize and appreciate the dedication of your being here, that you are aware of your calling and the need. Yes, it is indeed needful that you be here because we have put on your shoulders the duty and responsibility of leadership in this area. Do not be fearful of your calling. The task may seem enormous. "Where do we go from here?" This is what you are asking, what you are wondering, where the mission now stands, how can we do our part, how can we be more effective?

Little ones, realize that it is for us all to be responsible to the Teaching Mission that has been brought to us through and by Christ Michael. Each one has a part to play. Never fear because He is with each and every one. Always realize it is His work and we are His instruments on Urantia. He will direct you and guide you each and every day and in every way. We would only ask that you open your hearts and be humbled and dedicated to what we, His teachers, are doing, so you can see the overall picture of where this is all going. He desires that you to be leaders of His flock in this area for Him.

JUDY: Can I ask a question?
JUDY: Can I ask a question?
TEACHER: Yes, please do.
TEACHER: Yes, please do.
==='''''[[Health]]'''''===
JUDY: My question is should I continue in my [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craniosacral_therapy craniosacral] studies for the benefit for [[mankind]]?
TEACHER: Yes indeed Judy. It is much, much needed. This is a new area, a new [[study]] of [[science]] that many do not understand, and it is in complete [[harmony]] with the forces of [[nature]], within the realm of God’s will. Can we ask why you [[doubt]]?
JUDY: I doubt perhaps because of my [[husband]]. Should I go ahead and think about myself and forget about him until the situation . ........, since that will be forth coming in due time?
TEACHER: I did not [[understand]] the last part clearly?
JUDY: The last part was I would just register and worry about the [[money]] part later.
TEACHER: We would ask you to have [[faith]], Judy.
JUDY: O.K., thank you.
TEACHER: We do not want you to [[alienate]] your [[family]] from you, but it is a work of God you are doing, for you are showing a new way in a new area of [[healing]]. To [[this world]], through those you meet, through those you [[care]] for, there will be realized a higher plane of [[learning]] and teaching.
The [[physical]] being dwells not only on the physical plane but also on the [[mental]] and [[spiritual]]. From those areas do come all illness . ....When the spiritual and mental, emotional and also the will of mankind is out of [[balance]] and out of [[harmony]], then due to these reasons, come all manner of illness to the physical body. This is not well understood by this world today, in this age. You are breaking a new way, you are [[pioneering]] in your new chosen area of [[study]], learning, teaching and [[service]]. Do not give up, Judy.
Just as your work is in [[harmony]] with the forces, so must you look at your personal issue with your [[husband]] and with your [[financial]] circumstances as well, these too, will also come into harmony. As you do your work in [[faith]], so go in faith that your [[relationship]] will be fine and that much [[understanding]] will come and that possibly the trip you are planning will bring more understanding between you and your loved one. Does this help?
JUDY: Yes, thank you very much, that is [[wonderful]]. I thank you.
TEACHER: You are welcome Judy. Does Lorne have a [[question]]?
==='''''[[Politics]]'''''===
LORNE: Yes. Should the [[students]] of the [[Urantia Book]] use the positive events happening in Europe, for example the political and economical unity that is taking place. The great humanitarian effort presently going on, on going, could this be an indication of the [[movement]] towards those great [[ideals]] as expressed in the [[Urmia Lectures]], [[134:3|page 1485-1490]] of the Urantia Book? Regarding spiritual [[sovereignty]] and political sovereignty?
TEACHER: You are welcome Judy. Does Lorne have a question?
TEACHER: Hmm! You ask much Lorne? First the present situation in Europe. Absolutely. There are many things happening on the world scene that you do not [[understand]].
Many [[forces]] are at work for [[good]] and [[evil]]. We only ask that you pray daily that the good forces will overcome that evil, that good will come out of any [[transaction]] that is taking place in Europe for the betterment of [[mankind]] on your planet [[Urantia]].
Know that the overall drive is for total [[brotherhood]] and [[peace]] on earth. It can only be done through the [[physical]] human instruments that are called into these positions of [[leadership]]. Pray for their [[wisdom]], that they will draw upon their inner [[guidance]] of their [[Thought Adjusters]], for the Adjusters are working among these [[souls]] as well, as you well [[understand]]. We will see coming out of this strife and [[turmoil]], better ways. [[Mankind]] is trying his best to raise and uplift himself, but he has not yet realized that the true answers that he needs is in the [[Urantia Book]].
The papers that you mentioned could be of great benefit to these [[leaders]] if they would only have [[access]] to them, and if they would [[read]] them. What is happening and transpiring now may have to our eyes, your eyes, little results but in the long run, in the long term, [[progress]] will be made. If you look at the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kosovo_War Kosovo problems] that you just went through in Europe, [[horrendous]] as those situations are, [[goodness]] and [[justice]] is prevailing, if only in the sense that the world has united to send aid, and to be aware of such [[atrocities]], how mankind can be so unkind and evil to one another, Lessons are being learned here. [[Organizations]] and associations, [[nations]], internationally and globally are pulling together to right this wrong. Even the people there who were behind these misguided [[leaders]] are changing their ways and their [[attitudes]]. It’s hard for you to understand when something is transpiring, when you cannot see the overall [[picture]] of what is happening. We have told you so many times that [[Urantia]] is in good hands.
[[The Father]] loves each and everyone of His children, no matter where they are and no matter what the circumstances. So [[pray]] for one another, pray for the [[innocents]], pray for their [[leaders]], pray for the [[corrupt]] leaders, that they will have a change of [[heart]], a new [[perspective]]. Never underestimate the [[blessing]] you have been given to see the overview of [[society]], of the world, to see the global [[purpose]], to see your [[universal]], [[cosmic]], [[eternal]] purpose in life.
All is [[evolving]], all is going forward. We cannot disrupt what is laid in place, it would be too disruptive to the world if sudden [[change]] came. Change has to come through international [[effort]], through local [[action]], through personal action, through personal lives that must change. Change has to come from within each [[individual]], each heart, one on one, one nation upon one [[nation]]. It must come forth through the human [[heart]], through society, through communities, through towns, through villages, through nations.
Yes, [[change]] will come. The age of [[Light and Life]] will come. Just have [[faith]] that all is going according to plan, that [[Urantia]] indeed is in good hands and [[Christ Michael]] is overseeing all that is going on. Appreciate your part in this [[Teaching Mission]] for it is very [[unique]] among all [[universal]] efforts. Small as it is, but like a grain of mustard seed, it will [[grow]]. We are here to enlarge upon the [[UB|Urantia Revelation]], the Fifth Revelation brought to you.

LORNE: That was very, very good. I am highly appreciative and I do have another question or two if you will take it?
LORNE: That was very, very good. I am highly [[appreciative]] and I do have another question or two if you will take it?
TEACHER: Yes, thankyou.
TEACHER: Yes, thank you.
==='''''[[Urantia Movement]]'''''===
LORNE: We have been meeting and [[studying]] the [[Urantia Book]] continuously for twenty years.
During that time many people have joined with us for varying periods of time and left. There has been no [[growth]] in numbers. We have tried at all times to let the message in the book speak for itself. Are we remiss in some way?
TEACHER: It is very timely you should ask this [[question]], for Tara herself has been [[wondering]] about this very same thing and how as a group membership can be increased.
What are you doing that is not conducive to [[growth]]? It is not that you are doing anything wrong. Could it be that you are seeking another level of [[service]], of presenting this Revelation? Maybe it is time that you as [[leaders]] begin to [[inspire]] others on a personal level. You must ask yourself, when a new person comes to your meeting, what do they see? How can you shine forth and be a [[light]] to those little ones who come? How can you [[inspire]] the people there to [[study]] deeper? To be more [[dedicated]] and to speak out of what they believe when they leave you group and go on their way?
Maybe the place that you should start with your [[group]], is to begin to teach the lessons of the "[[fruits of the spirit]]" so that each one can take [[home]] with them a new aspect, a new [[understanding]], and a way of applying those fruits in their lives. As we have said so many times in these transmissions that this is the way we show forth that [[demonstration]] of [[righteousness]], that is through our daily lives, in our daily living.
When someone comes, welcome them with open arms. We are not saying that you do not. But make them feel at [[home]], that they have found something very, very special. Which it is! The [[perspective]] of this, from our side, is that the people brought to you will be brought to you as they are needful of your [[guidance]] and fellowship. Truly it is in our hands to [[inspire]] and lead those people to you. Your part is to be there and be true [[ambassadors]] of [[the Kingdom]], that they may see your good works, your [[fruits of the spirit]] in your lives and come to know that you have something very special to offer them that they will [[grow]] and love also, the teachings that are there for them.
We would [[admonish]] you to go on as you are being [[faithful]] to your [[calling]] and what you have been called to do. We will [[guide]] you and lead you in the days ahead as you open your [[heart]] and [[listen]] to what we have to say and putting what we say into [[practice]], for only then will you be able to be true [[leaders]] to guide these little ones in their search and in their [[growth]].

JUDY: I have another question.
JUDY: I have another question.
TEACHER: Yes.
TEACHER: Yes.
==='''''[[Revelation]]'''''===
JUDY: I have been [[reading]] the books of "[[God Calling]]" and the issue of [[reincarnation]] is expounded in there disproportionately, and (not clearly heard) this [[information]], won’t join [[Teaching Mission]], that there is no such thing. Can I please have verification for this book makes me so [[confused]] about the way its explained and it seems so logical yet on the other hand we know about the cellular (not heard clearly). Could you care to explain? Thankyou.
LORNE: I think that was "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversations_with_god Conversations With God]."
LORNE: I think that was "Conversations With God."
JUDY: Oh, "Conversations With God." I stand corrected. Thankyou, Lorne. Yes, it’s not "[[God Calling]]," it’s "Conversations With God."
TEACHER: Thank you Judy for your question. This is a big issue. I think the way to address this for you is to ask you to think about where these [[sources]] are coming from. There have been many, many books written which claim to be from [[God]] speaking or from [[Christ]] speaking or from [[the angels]] speaking. The book market is rampant with these so called [[inspired]] revelations. Why would it concern you when you have the true revelation. Can you not put this book aside and [[trust]] and have [[faith]] in the very true revelation which has been given to you?
JUDY: Yes, I can, but there seem to be more and more people being railroaded into this [[information]], and so far I have been able to stand firm in [[faith]]. I’m sorry but this is become my [[belief]] and one has to make up their minds if they believe God and have faith.
TEACHER: You are absolutely correct, Judy. That is the [[shame]] of it when misrepresentation and untruths are taught because the innocents [[read]] and believe and then suffer because they are lead away from the [[truth]].
The [[Urantia Book]] has the [[truth]] and the world needs this book so much. These [[writings]] can sometime have their [[purpose]] because they are like "[[stepping stones]]" as you have experienced in you own life. They lead to [[truth]] but they are not complete truth and people are still left still wondering and questioning until they do find the [[truth]] and [[embrace]] it, and believe it. Then they realize that [[the Father]] does not intend for them to go backward, or to relive, or try to improve themselves over and over again on this [[earth]].
There is in all these writings a touch or truth, a bit of truth here and there, which spark the inner soul. The Spirit of Truth and the Thought Adjuster in each individual is always working for the benefit of that person. The human mind is like a sponge, it takes in, it absorbs, it questions. But have faith that the Adjuster there is adjusting their thoughts and guiding them homeward. Each person is on their own and different path.
You have teachers waiting for you when you pass over, when you advance to the [[Mansion Worlds|morontia worlds]]. There these misconceptions will be straightened out and you will there learn and/or relearn the [[truth]].

Each person is on their own and different [[path]].
It’s not our [[responsibility]], or your responsibility as [[mortals]] of the earth to, shall we say for you to dwell in [[fear]] of what people are learning because [[the Father]] is in charge; He is overseeing; it is [[the Gods]] who are overseeing this work. The very work of [[this planet]] is the work of their hands, [[evolution]] is ever evolving, if nothing else these literary works are making people [[aware]] that there is a God, a Father, that can be [[communicated]] with, that He’s personal? What would you say is the [[value]] that this book is presenting in it’s overall [[context]]? There may be parts here and parts there that you do not [[agree]] with but can not these people be [[inspired]]?
There may be grains of [[truth]] contained but not the whole truth and possibly when someone finally finds the [[Urantia Book]], then they will know they have found the truth, and even that as you [[understand]] isn’t in it’s full completeness because you are given only what you are able to [[understand]] in each age, in each era that you live, that mortal man lives, as you grow and [[mature]], become more [[scientific]], more [[logical]], more intelligent, able to understand the higher [[concepts]] yet to be delivered and taught. This is evolutionary [[progression]] on the earth. So try not to be [[confused]] at what is happening with these [[books]]. You can think of many more that have such grains of truth that cause people to [[become]] more aware of certain truths but again we will remind you that you are all in good hands and that all is [[progressing]] as it should.
What you need to do now is to be [[faithful]] in what you have been taught and then a [[light]] and teachers of the [[truth]] delivered to you. Stand firm in what you believe, in what the [[Urantia Book]] has to bring to the people in your group. Make sure they are grounded in the Truths of God and in what the [[future]] holds now and forever.

We would like to comment further on the transmission of Friday last. The question was brought forth as to how to increase group membership. What can you do as a [[group]]?
Naturally, it would go without saying to invite those who show interest to come and join in your fellowship and study. Many are indeed hungry for the spiritual nourishment contained in your text, the Urantia Book. We would encourage you to study a portion of this Revelation daily for your own soul growth and understanding. Then you would be better prepared to answer questions about the contents of the book when called upon. For you see you yourselves are called to be true Ambassadors of the Kingdom of God. Called to be demonstrations of righteousness and truth and love. Called to demonstrate spiritual brotherhood as the very Spirit born children of the Father.

==='''''[[Tragedy]]'''''===
*July 23, 1999
TARA: I could not [[sleep]]. I woke thinking about [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_F._Kennedy,_Jr. the Kennedy tragedy] of this past week.
Why? Such [[beautiful]] people with such great [[potential]] for the betterment of the [[earth]].
It seems only so short a time we also lost Princess Diana. Why do some families seem to suffer more than others?

BERTRAM: First we send our greetings to you, little one. We have long desired to be in contact with you. We admonish you all to be mindful of your calling, to be dedicated to the trust extended to you as a worker in the fields of the Master. There is much work to be done and we are all well pleased with the plans now being laid for the leadership of your group into the study of the "fruits of the spirit." This is much needed at this time for your faith and soul development.

Trials will surely come upon each and every one of you as you progress through this life in your mortal flesh. Such trials of life, as you have been privy to this past week, comes upon each and every family. The Kennedy family have been a stalwart example to the world of faith in the Father’s love, and of family love and unity.

Never, never doubt the love of the Father for these little ones who perished together this week, or for any of His children anywhere. Do we need remind you of the tragedies in Kosovo of such recent months? Such pain and suffering, human inflicted upon fellow humans is indeed felt around the world and rises even to our realm.

Make no mistake how important is this Revelation for your beloved planet Urantia, now and in the future millennium to come. More and more are gradually becoming aware of this revelation given before it’s time. The world, indeed, hungers for the truth.

==Session 7==
*July 30, 1999
TARA: Good morning, teachers! I feel there is a lesson for today. Please impress upon me what is needful for us today. Thank you.
==='''''[[Ecology]]'''''===
MALCOM: Tara, you are most [[formal]] today! We too greet you good day on this most pleasant and refreshing [[morning]]. Soon it will again be very hot in your area on [[Urantia]].
This brings us to the lesson for today. We [[understand]] that you have been concerned of late of the changing [[environmental]] conditions on your planet. You found some [[statements]] of the program you viewed lately saying that environmental [[catastrophes]] were acts of God displaying His [[wrath]] and punishment upon [[mankind]] everywhere on earth today. We know that in your [[heart]] you do not believe such statements as [[truth]] or divine reality.
[[Mankind]] must come to [[realize]] that these are, indeed, not acts of your loving [[heavenly Father]].
The [[Universal Father]] loves, is [[love]]. There is no [[evil]] or [[wrath]] or sin in Him. It is not the Father’s will that any suffer. He would not and cannot deliberately bring [[pain]] and affliction upon His children.
He did not send His Son, [[Christ Michael]], to suffer and die for you. This was totally a horrendous evil and willful act of [[human being]]s in their [[anger]] and [[rage]] and in their [[blindness]] against the teachings and [[revelations]] of [[Christ Michael]]. The Father does not create evil or sin but because of his [[free will]] [[mandate]] given to mankind the [[potential]] for error, evil, sin and iniquity has always been present upon your planet.
The [[catastrophic]] weather patterns on your planet today are a result of misguided and willful acts of [[mankind]] which have resulted in the present [[environmentally]] harmful [[lifestyles]] on the planet which you see today. Atmospheric warming, disturbed [[weather]] pattens, ocean warming, due to the depletion of ozone in the upper [[atmosphere]], has all conspired to bring upon you these weather conditions today which are far from [[ideal]].
Crops are failing, both animals and humans are suffering worldwide. Though [[mankind]] may shake his fists at God and place the [[blame]] there; it is not a true [[reality]] on [[your planet]]. The reality is the planet is indeed suffering from the weight of mankind's mismanagement.
[[The Father]] did indeed give into the hand of man the [[dominion]], over care and management of [[Urantia]]. Urantia was created and has evolved to be the spawning ground of spiritual babes for the cosmic family of [[God the Father]]. In [[balance]] and [[beauty]] has it evolved to its present splendour and beauty.
Over the ages but especially in the last one hundred years, man has continually and relentlessly [[polluted]] and fouled his birthplace in [[time and space]]. This was not, and is not in accordance with the will of God. [[Changes]] of a global nature must take place before the [[environment]] will change.
What will it take for [[mankind]] to learn the error of their ways and make a concerted and united [[effort]] for [[change]]?
[[Greed]] for [[profit]] and ease for living has outpaced humanity’s [[wisdom]] and love for the [[purity]] and [[beauty]] of his native [[home]]. Only when mankind truly begins to love one another and his [[environment]] and seeks to [[do the will of the Father]] will true [[health]], [[beauty]], [[goodness]] and [[prosperity]] [[bless]] the earth once more.
Greed for profit and ease for living has out paced humanity’s wisdom and love for the purity and beauty of his native home. Only when mankind truly begins to love one another and his environment and seeks to do the will of the Father will true health, beauty, goodness and prosperity bless the earth once more.
Always, has free will reigned supreme upon Urantia. Mankind has had full range of that free will to do as he willed upon the earth, but unfortunately not in accordance with the will of God.

==='''''[[Urantia Book]]''''', '''''[[Urantia Movement]]'''''===
All things pass in time, renew and refresh and [[progress]] ever forward even when things appear to be [[confused]] and backward and [[distorted]]. Seeing the whole picture, the whole [[panorama]] of the plan of God is indeed [[difficult]] in one life time, in any one age, within the [[evolutionary]] progressions of [[time and space]].
Indeed must you develop [[patience]], inner [[trust]] and living [[faith]]. Such [[enlightenment]], such understanding is not accomplished instantly, now, or in the [[resurrection halls]] of mansonia. [[Truth]] and [[knowledge]] of lasting and eternal [[value]] are acquired and expanded throughout your eternal career of sonship.
This life is but the beginning. [[Urantia]] is your “[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spawning_ground#Spawning_grounds spawning ground],” your” world of [[nativity]],” “ground zero.” Here, indeed, do you begin as the lowest form of “will creature” in all [[the Father]]s’ vast [[domains]]. Great is His [[mercy]] and [[patience]] towards you, His little ones, indeed. You are as a “new born” in the Father’s household and we are your “nannies” and [[teachers]], here now to nourish and teach you and to expand to you the concepts of [[truth]] taught by your Master and Lord, your elder brother, [[Christ Michael]] from the [[Paradise]] shores of the Eternal Isle.
We will endeavour to guide you in your [[studies]] of the “[[fruits of the spirit]]” in the coming months. Be watchful and alert and open for we will [[guide]] you into the lessons necessary for you, guiding you into deeper [[understanding]] and in application of these fruits, as you [[absorb]] them into your [[mind]] and [[heart]], so that they [[become]] a natural part of your [[personality]] [[expression]] of the [[Father fragment]] within each one of you.
[[The Father]] wills that His little ones be [[trained]] and nourished in His [[love]], and in the eternal [[truths]] He has sent and set before you this day.
[[Blessed]] are you to have the [[UB|Fifth Revelation]] on earth today in its written form, a source of [[study]] and [[inspiration]] and [[guidance]] to right and prosperous and fulfilling life. It is your guide book, your source of expanded [[truth]] and [[knowledge]] for your planet home in the years and ages to come. It has not yet come into its own, into [[acceptance]], as it will in times to come. You are among the earliest of [[mankind]] in this era to be aware of the Father’s [[Revelation]] on earth today in this written form.
The planet is indeed being made ready for the [[future]] [[acceptance]] of this Fifth Revelation to [[mankind]]. You are as “[[pioneers]]” leading the way, and we are indeed [[training]] you to do your part now. Many are being called and many beautiful [[talents]] and [[skills]] will be utilized in [[the Father]]'s work each one bringing their own contribution and talent of [[expression]]. New secondary works are needed in [[literature]], [[music]], [[the arts]], [[science]], indeed, in every aspect of living is there a need for the Father’s fruits to be [[expressed]] in multiple and diverse ways. Just as we are [[training]] you, little one, so are thousands of others being trained around the world to do their part in their many and diverse ways, even in the [[power]] of [[prayer]] and [[faith]] and good works.
Remember [[the apostles]] of [[the Master]]? He called his co-workers from many [[diverse]] walks of life each having their own special [[talent]] of [[service]] right down to the [[Alpheus twins]].

Remember the service of John Mark and his family, believers though not apostles?

Now are you [[engaged]] in a world wide [[service]], with [[communications]] and networks expanded to reach nearly all corners of the earth. The entire planet will be reached, in [[time]], and now are you in a [[Preparation]] Time, in a [[Correcting Time]], in a time of [[seeking]] and [[learning]] and [[aspiring]] to greater heights and skill [[perfection]].
Indeed, must it all begin with the [[inner man]] first, when you [[become]] child-like and willing to learn and to be of loving [[service]] to your brothers and sisters near and far.
Indeed, must it all begin with the inner man first, when you become child-like and willing to learn and to be of loving service to your brothers and sisters near and far.
Indeed, did we tell you much is transpiring and taking place world wide that you know not of now but all will fall into place and into perfect [[harmony]] in the years and ages to come in a world wide and global benefit for all [[mankind]].
Indeed, did we tell you much is transpiring and taking place world wide that you know not of now but all will fall into place and into perfect harmony in the years and ages to come in a world wide and global benefit for all mankind.
Indeed do the days seem dark and [[gloomy]] and distressing news rampant and distressing times may be ahead for you as cleansing and [[correction]] continues.
Do not be fearful or full of [[anxiety]]. [[Urantia]] is in good hands and you are indeed on the brink of a [[new age]] of [[discovery]] and expansion of [[truth]], and the true realities of life as never before.
Always remember-
:after [[darkness]] comes the [[light]],
after darkness comes the light,
:after [[spring]] comes the [[summer]] [[harvest]],
after spring comes the summer harvest,
:after [[trial]] and testing comes the [[joy]] of success and accomplishment if you do not falter.
You live on a beautiful planet of [[duality]] in all its [[diversity]]. From the lowest can you [[ascend]] to the highest if you so will, if you so [[choose]], if you so [[desire]].
I leave you now to again [[think]] on these things and so bib you have a good and prosperous day in your realms of [[service]].
Your [[faithful]] [[guide]] and teacher,
Your faithful guide and teacher, Bertram.

Each of you come from your own perspective and view life and it’s struggles from your own attitudes and perceived understanding.

Little ones, realize you are not perfect as yet. You are "babes" in the Father’s family. It is indeed His will that you grow up into "spiritual adulthood" and as we have said before your journey into light and life is a process, a continual progression that continues on after this life as well. Waiting for you are your teachers on all your future spheres of learning throughout Michael’s local universe and beyond, all the way to Paradise. It is not expected that you will accomplish all in perfection in this one life. Nor do you return to do it all over again here, as is so often taught and believed by so many of God’s children on Urantia today.

Nor do you [[Reincarnation|return to do it all over again here]], as is so often taught and believed by so many of God’s children on [[Urantia]] today.
Regardless of what path one walks in this life, it is the heart attitude that is important.
Regardless of what [[path]] one walks in this life, it is the heart [[attitude]] that is important.
Are you child like in heart and attitude?
Are you child like in [[heart]] and attitude?
Are you teachable?
Are you teachable?
Are you really sincere in seeking and finding the truth, in finding God the Father himself?
Are you really [[sincere]] in seeking and finding the [[truth]], in finding God [[the Father]] himself?
You are indeed His very children, beloved of Him and ever is He loving and merciful towards you in all your struggles, all your soul struggles. Ever is He understanding and patient towards you as you grow and overcome in your "perfecting process."
Ever is He available and approachable. You can call on Him and He will hear you. He is nearer than even your hands and feet, for He surely does, and in [[truth]], dwells within your very [[mind]]!!
You are indeed His very children, beloved of Him and ever is He loving and [[merciful]] towards you in all your [[struggles]], all your [[soul]] struggles. Ever is He understanding and patient towards you as you grow and overcome in your "perfecting [[process]]."
So lift up your [[heart]] and be glad and [[rejoice]], for you are not forgotten in your [[struggle]], neither do you ever walk [[alone]]. A host of teachers and [[angels]] ever surround each of you and cheer you on, for you are our charges on the [[evolutionary worlds]] of time and space.
Now must you walk in [[faith]], living faith, growing faith, and in so doing you will not falter. [[Christ Michael]], Himself, has sent you His very [[Spirit of Truth]] to ever guide you in all your walks of life, in all your earthly experiences. [[Nebadonia]] surrounds you with her [[Holy Spirit]].
Oft have you heard it said, "If God be for you, who can be against you?" Indeed the way has been made for your every success in all your [[struggles]]. "All things work together for [[good]], for those who love God and live according to his will." It can be no other way.
When you live according to His will, then do you indeed develop the "[[fruits of His spiri]]'' within your [[evolving soul]].
Today we want to impress upon you that all is not in vain. Though your [[trials]] may at times seem greater than you can [[endure]] and cope with, always remember that these [[experiences]] in your "earthly school" are for your [[strengthening]] and [[growth]], to spur you on to even greater heights indeed, such heights you can not now even [[imagine]]! Reach out, for [[love]] and [[support]] is ever reaching out to you.
I will leave you now to [[ponder]] this lesson in the hope that it will refresh, reassure and [[strengthen]] you once more in your forward walk of life.
Only remember to lend your brother your helping hand in [[love]] and [[service]] in his soul struggle. And so remember your spiritual siblings and do what you can to help them along the way also. This, indeed, pleases the Fathers.
Ever, in loving [[service]] to you, my brothers and sisters, Malcom.
