Good afternoon, this is Daniel. Let’s go ahead and begin to settle the energies within ourselves. We will take a very deliberate time doing this today as we did two weeks ago, as it sets the stage for a very good connection between ourselves and Universe Energy, spirit, the energy within ourselves, between us, and among us. Please release any physical tension you have in your body and become relaxed. Check your forehead, chin, stomach muscles, shoulders, and knees—all the stressor points in your body—I know you are well acquainted with them. See any residual stress flowing out the ends of your toes and into the earth to become recycled in the universe. You become filled with the light that flows into the top of your head so that you are completely filled. See that light within you begin to glow.

Rayson: Good afternoon, this is Rayson. Welcome to another Sunday afternoon session. It is a pleasure to be here with you. Last week you asked questions about the Teaching Mission and the Correcting Time. We gave you a status update about those programs, and they continue on in good form. You must be aware, as in any great enterprise, that nothing remains the same; that changes are ever present and ongoing, for without change there would be no progress, no development, and no growth—so too, with these programs. That is inherent in the Correcting Time, and the name of this program, Correcting Time, was no accident, it was intentional—“correcting” means change.

Let us briefly review the Teaching Mission program and its unfoldment, development and growth. You recall it began in New Zealand in the late 1980’s, and was begun with a group that was wholly unaware of The Urantia Book and its teachings. And after time, they became aware of that book, and groups in the United States became aware of the work of this group in New Zealand. Since that time, the Teaching Mission has spread throughout the world. You have yearly conferences, or you alternate with the larger conference such as you had last year. And this is good. It establishes this program in your society and in your thinking; it establishes it as an ongoing program. Today, we have a guest with us who would like to tell you more about the Teaching Mission and its development.

Student: Thank you Father Machiventa. (You are most welcome.) I’ve been laboring in a small vineyard of Unitarian/Universalists these past two years, and your talk “hits home” with my efforts there. One of the main tenants that I’ve run across in that church is that they reject the Trinity, and I would like to open that “can of worms” to the perspective that those who rejected the Trinity did so back in the 12-something-hundred without any true knowledge of the Trinity as portrayed in our Urantia Book revelation. I assume that when you say that help is available that this project is open to that kind of help?

Machiventa: It is that persistent, consistent, unchanging truth always remains the same. And the source and its identifiers of legitimacy are only that the person lives consistently with the truth that they espouse. You recall, or you may know that one of the great teachers on your planet now, during the daytime, makes incense sticks, is a family man and lives very simply. When he speaks truth, people recognize this and know it is such, and they know that he is a great Master. The faddist requirements of religiously or politically correct identifiers are transitory and impermanent, they are not consistent from one society to another, one culture to another; but the identifiers of truth speaking are always the same, no matter where you go on your planet, or on which planet you go to, they are always the same. The truth is consistent and those who speak it live it in consistency within them. How often have you seen the true master who lives deceitfully? Who embraces thoughts of spite, resentment, hatred and anger, jealousy and envy? Never! For true masters live consistently, believe consistently, and feel consistently, with those truths that come through them. They are fountains of truth, willing to share with anyone, no matter what their identifiers of social acceptance are. And whether they put a million dollars in the gift bowl, or whether two alms, it matters not. It is the sincerity of the individual who comes forward to engage these statements of truth, those sources of truth. This is truly what matters. Superficiality is to be dispensed with. Truth, integrity, consistency are to be adhered to.

I will close this meeting today and release myself and leave you to your discussions. Rayson has a few closing statements for you. Good day. (Group: Thank you, Machiventa.)

Rayson: This is Rayson. Looks like we have our work cut out for us, don’t we? (Group laughing.) Let us engage your further questions in the days and weeks ahead. Good day. (Good day, Rayson. And thank you.)
