Changes

Student: Rayson, I have a question about the invitation that you made about all that would come to the [[meetings]], that was offered up through us. I have in [[mind]], one of my sisters, not my biological sister, but my earth sister, that may be a [[candidate]] but she is not part of the [[Urantia movement]], that this may be of some interest to the group.

Rayson: Certainly. The reading of the [[Urantia Book]] is not a prerequisite for attending these sessions. But willing to [[accept]] God’s conscious [[presence]] in your life is a good start. I know that this will be quite a leap for many people but (laughing) it is a good start. God does [[interact]] with you on a conscious level, whether you hear or not. "Hearing" is not [[necessary]] for a conscious relationship with your [[Thought Adjuster]], but a conscious willing [[intent]] to do so. So yes, invite others who are interested in this. We do [[understand]] that there are (put this in quotes) [["new-age]]y people" who like psychic [[phenomenon]], who like [[channeling]] and like to talk to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramtha#Ramtha Ramtha] and "disembodied spirits," but this is not about that. This is about the [[personal]], [[social]], individual [[revelation]] of the Father’s work through the Fifth Epochal Revelation; this is the personal side of the [[Urantia Book]]. If people have not read the Urantia Book, that is fine as long as they believe in one God, are willing to [[examine]] their [[beliefs]] about God, and to be a participant. Do you [[understand]]? (Yes, thank you.) This is not a sideshow of life, this is a serious and endearing enlightened part of life, and so we behold it so, but it is not so sanctimonious or so hallowed that those who do not believe cannot attend. It is open to all.

Why don’t we take a brief break in the group at this time and create a definite break in the [[process]] and return in five minutes and begin the second session of today’s [[activities]]? Thank you.
