Daniel: For those who are new, has anyone explained the merkaba to you? There is a merkaba energy shaft in the middle of this room, which was dedicated here quite a few months ago. It is similar in nature to the shaft of energy that is in each one of us, but larger and it is maintained by consciousness. Its energy can be directed by our mind energy to those who need it, to situations, to environments, and so I ask you now to hook up to the merkaba, consciously; your shaft of light and energy touching it on the north and south poles. And as you do this, the merkaba energy becomes larger in this household. It’s kind of like looking at an axis through a globe; the globe has longitudinal and latitudinal lines. Now I ask each one of you to declare your "intent" for being here. Invoke Christ Michael’s energy to accomplish that intent, according to His will.

So my friends, you have been to a conference! (Group: Yes, indeed!) It was wonderful to be there with you, to observe everyone who was participating and to see the camaraderie and love and the energy. Did you notice that this conference was energetically a bit different from the last? (Yes. Definitely.) Mortals and "we" have been attempting to soften the intellectual energy of that group, to open the Heart Energy. Mercy and justice are in some ways intellectual, but compassion is heartfelt. And this is a wonderful place to begin. Did you also notice that there were various lines of interest at the conference, where there were fewer in the past? (Yes.)

===Lesson===
 
Some of you see this as a community that is "fractured," but not really. You see the Correcting Time is working to use all potential leaders to bring their voice to this forum. The Urantia Book is more than just a book, a reference and an index, but it is filled with people who have various interests besides the intellectual. It is one thing to make an intellectual commitment, a commitment out of minded decision; it is quite another decision to make a commitment that is also heartfelt and committed from the heart. And so, you have seen other interests come into this forum. And we are very encouraged by the tolerance that is given by the organizing group to the Teaching Mission and to the Sonship work of Rob Crickett. Not everyone is in agreement with all three, and some would exclude one group over another, and this is to be expected in a group community setting. This does represent a community.

Student: It was about the first twenty minutes of your talk. Part of it, I am sure was just the preliminary encouragement for the Teaching Mission participants. But I think there were also some comments about the Urantia Movement as a whole, getting all of us to work together with less friction. That’s all I can think of at the moment.

This is Rayson, I think this is a good time for a brief break if you wish to leave the table for a bit and come back, you are most welcome to.

The second theme I mentioned was "Community in Action." Six years from now, you may have many classes, discussion groups available in how to build an intentional community. Not a planned neighborhood, not a subdivision, but an intentional community based upon higher values in the continuum of life that you live, as children, as young adults, as procreative parents, as workers and productive individuals in your societies and in your factories, government, hospitals and industry and then as "retired individuals" who are winding down their years of productivity. We do not have an agenda for you, though we surely do have an agenda for ourselves, to educate you and teach you in these all-encompassing topics. We want you to not only survive, but to thrive, to grow and to fill your souls to the greatest capacity from having made those wonderful decisions, both of commitment and of service.

The Urantia Book
      
Student: As I mentioned, there was a question at the conference about the wisdom of including a presentation on the "Forum and Land Mark Education," because, although these teachings seem very benign and even helpful initially, that the more people have progressed into this, the more they have found it leading to a kind of selfishness and having really detrimental effects, and it called into question the wisdom of allowing this kind of thing to be included in a Urantia Conference.

Line 163: Line 122:     
When you think about arriving on Mansion World 2, 3 or 4, how will you do that? You can only do that through making decisions and taking action. Decisions without actions are hollow and speak of a hollow intent. The sincerity of your intent and your decisions therefore rests in the out-working of them in action. You do not have to become a president of any organization or corporation, but you can be a steady worker, a father of a family upholding and supporting his family to do this. You can be a mother at home, raising these children day-to-day and hour-to-hour doing this. You needn’t become a corporate president or the president of some non-profit, beneficial social organization. You can do this where you are. Some of you who have time which is idle, though you have busy lives, you can make decisions to use that idle time constructively that contributes to your soul-growth, and the soul-growth of others, and this is where we wish you to move into. It is your decision, and we will always be here, whether you make that decision or not.

We wish you a good day, blessings upon you, now you re-enter the mainstream of your society and live out your days ordinarily as you would say, but we think they are most extraordinary times for you. Blessings to you. Know that Michael is with you in your heart and lives with you constantly. His presence is always there for you to call upon in every need and in every praise-giving situation. May the joy that He knows for you, be shared with others through your lives.

, we have said repeatedly, is a wonderful living reference, a guide for living. You must make the plans for your life and your future based upon the principles that it contains. You must make decisions to take-on those values, those beliefs for yourself and live them out. And through this Correcting Time, this small mission, the Teaching Mission, we are striving to assist you, to educate you, in how to then take those principles and live them out in your lives. Michael has not left you bereft and in ignorance, but has provided his Spirit, the Spirit of Truth, the Christ Spirit is now in your hearts, in your lives. It occupies the same geography in your being as your Thought Adjuster. You are "partnered" by two wonderful Beings, present here. You will retain these Beings with you throughout your infinite journey. You are not alone; you have much guidance available to you. Open yourselves to their guidance, make decisions, take action, ask for more and it will be given to you. Now, your question, once again, please?
