I am astounded when I look out at the faces here today. When we first began in this Correcting Time we could have never foreseen this day - today. We knew of Michael's plan for correction but especially those of us who call Urantia our native planet could not envision this Mission taking hold. You could say we were flying blind, going on faith--from midwayers, to angels, to Melchizedeks, to you--it has taken every single individual to bring this Mission into fruition. Still we are here today standing on faith alone, still working, still believing in Michael and his love for us.

We knew of [[Michael]]'s plan for correction but especially those of us who call [[Urantia]] our native planet could not envision [[this Mission]] taking hold. You could say we were flying [[blind]], going on [[faith]]--from [[midwayers]], to [[angels]], to [[Melchizedeks]], to you--it has taken every single individual to bring this Mission into fruition.

When you speak of 'down to earth spiritual reality,' what does that mean for you?

When you speak of '[[Practical|down to earth]] spiritual [[reality]],' what does that mean for you?

A moth that is attracted to a flame finds the flame his solid reality. It is not so much what he can see, but what his instincts are telling him. Common spiritual reality is a practice you can use in everyday living. The realness of the spiritual life is your flame; it is your families, jobs, communities, and Teaching Mission. (TR: hold on a minute) Our Correcting Time is not 'out of reach hopefulness,' no - but workable, usable practice that brings forth spiritual fruits. As we grow in this Mission, we find spirituality to be so much more than personal desires or fulfillment of self-agenda's. We find our Mission to be ever expanding circles of light growing to encompass Father's children.

[[The Master]] in his perfect [[humility]], found his [[purpose]] to be so much more than just about him. Of course there is personal correction and overcoming [[ego]]-desires. As you grow you find you are [[responsible]] for the good of [[the whole]]. The Master thought in terms of the whole. His Mission was not just to [[21:3 Local Universe Sovereignty|gain sovereignty over a universe]] no, the overall plan was so much greater than that. As you will find out these small [[steps]] that have been taken this far in the Mission is part of a much more grand [[adventure]].

We are [[responsible]] for one another. No one person will go ahead of the other. We will all go forward [[together]]. The Mission is about all of us. It is not a [[platform]] for [[self]], [[mystical]] ideas or unusable spirituality. We will all go forward together and that makes each one of us [[responsible]] for each other. Empty your cups my friends. Be [[prepared]] for the new. Know that Father's [[vision]] is so much more than your own. Do we carry forth with his vision or push our own?

You each must [[realize]] that you have assembled here because of your [[trust]] in something greater than you. That is amazing. That is cause to rejoice. The trumpets of [[change]] have sounded and with great joy we proclaim: [[Urantia]] has heard; the world is responding; change is occurring; no one can stop us now. (group [[applause]])

Think of yourselves, each one of you, with [[responsibility]] to [[the Mission]] and each other. What is best for [[the whole]]? How can we each take a part in producing the [[beautiful]] [[harvest]] that brings this world into [[light and life]]? What is the price you are willing to pay for this Mission? What is the cost of setting aside self and bringing a world into light and life?

Know that [[the Universe]] is willing to pay any price for such a small and seemingly troubled world. You must know by now how loved you are and how wonderful it is to be free from [[orphanhood]] and back into the fold of [[Nebadon]]. Take up your [[responsibility]]. Be your brother's keeper in a [[manner]] that produces spiritual fruits for the whole. Not your brother's personal corrector, no, but an upholder, a dedicated [[sibling]] that will not flee no matter what. [[Differences]] of [[opinion]], harsh words, hurt [[feelings]] - cannot [[separate]] us for we are each beholden to each other, yes.

I welcome you. I invite you to our [[Conference]]--the conference of our Beloved Brother Father. Know that with each passing day we grow closer and more in [[love]] with you. Others will speak.
