[Daniel led the group through our preliminary exercises of [[relaxation]], and connection with Mother Earth energy, grounding us, and connection with the [[celestial]] universe [[energy]] flowing into our [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crown_chakra crown chakras], becoming "one" with spirit, "one" with divine energy, and "one" with divine [[intent]]. Turning our faces upward like little turkeys in a rainstorm, "drowning" in the Father’s love, and basking in his [[radiance]]. Entering into [[Stillness]], we declared our intent and [[sincerity]] for gathering together to join our individual [[merkabas]] to the anchor.]

RAYSON: Good afternoon, this is Rayson. (Group welcomes our Teacher.) Thank you. It is good to be here with you, my friends. So are there any left over [[questions]] or concerns that you have? (Agatha: None. We covered them all.) No further responses from the recipients of our earlier lesson?

Be aware that co-creatively, the Teaching Mission [[the Teachers|Celestial Teachers]], the [[Melchizedeks]] and [[Christ Michael]], have already put and placed new teachers in new geographic areas. The search for hungry [[souls]] is always on; the search for those [[individuals]] with a light within them, those [[beacons]] of inner [[spirituality]] that have developed; we search for them and they are ready for more [[insights]], [[wisdom]] and [[love]]. We are doing our part, co-creatively. Now, it is required that experienced mortals to go forward into new areas, not as super-[[zealous]], or even zealous [[proselytes]], but simply as individuals seeking others who might have a common thread of interest in the celestial/mortal co-creative [[process]] of [[healing]] and saving [[this planet]]. Think of the [[Apostles]] how timid and unsure they were among themselves and within themselves, yet they went forward after [[the Master]]’s passing to become powerful beacons of light in new areas, spreading the word, the "good news." And as you recall, it was only the [[Alpheus twins]] who returned home to their familiar and comfortable surroundings that they knew.

So this [[effort]] to go forward, to establish a new group in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denver,_Colorado Denver] is truly an [[experiment]] for this area, an experiment that many will be watching from far and near. We do not know the outcome of that [[development]], though we do know that there is a hunger and thirst for something like it by many people in that city, so we try. You might say in an affirmation that divine [[guidance]], divine [[insight]] propels you—not compels you—but propels you to explore that [[revelation]], whatever it might be. When you receive them in your life, it is wise to [[explore]] them, to see how effective they are, whether they work for you, and see what the results are. Many of you know that this is called by the name "[[opportunity]]." When we see opportunities, we move forward; when you see opportunities, we [[hope]] that you will move forward as well, rather than asking, "Who am I to do this?" "What right do I have?" "What [[skills]] do I have?" "What [[talents]]?" Of course, if you ask us, we will tell you that you have many talents, you are incredibly capable, you are only limited by your own [[thoughts]] of limitations. These words are not an exhortation to you, but merely [[insights]] for you to explore yourself and to explore your [[surroundings]], in ways in which you perhaps did not think that you might.

Early on today, I mentioned that learning more about your co-creative [[partnership]] with Spirit assists you in [[understanding]] your world in new ways and to appreciate your life now, as a pre-life to the [[afterlife]]. These concepts must never be forgotten as a part of this [[Teaching Mission]], for if they are supplanted in importance by the needs of an [[organization]], then you will return to a similar situation of churches that are unable or unwilling to [[share]] the wisdom of the Master about the afterlife. It is as though these concepts are mission statements for the [[Correcting Time]] activities, all subordinate activities. If you asked any one [[Melchizedeks|Melchizedek]] who is a part of the Correcting Time, or any Melchizedek in all of [[Nebadon]], they would tell you what the Correcting Time is for, and what it will do; they all are aware of this, that it is the [[preparation]] of a world seed-bed of [[souls]] for their [[journey]] into the afterlife, into the [[morontial]] existence and then into the spiritual, and then onto [[Finaliter]] status. These concepts are the touchstones for validating the activities within the Correcting Time.

Rayson: Thank you. Your [[support]] is appreciated.

Student: We’ve been [[thinking]] along lines of, not newspaper advertising, but different kinds of approaches to finding a place for [[Urantia]] groups and making new Urantia Groups here in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loveland,_Colorado Loveland].

Rayson: Be careful of what you wish for! (I know!) You may be called upon to establish one or more. Wouldn’t that be a [[joy]]? (Yes…thank you.) You’re welcome.

Student: Rayson, I’m kind of [[surprised]] at how few [[Urantia Book]] readers are even willing to look at the [[Teaching Mission]] to find out what it’s all about; it seems like they dismiss it without knowing. Do you have any suggestions on how we could approach them, or interest them without violating their [[free will]]?

Rayson: I offer no suggestions, as it is a personal [[decision]] on their part. It is much like [[neighbors]] in this city perhaps, who might dismiss their neighbors next door who have their origins from the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_East Middle East], but who are [[citizens]] for many decades in this country. The same kind of self-serving, blind-sidedness that eliminates the opportunity for [[discovering]] love in new places and in new people and new ways to serve. You have done your work. [[Individuals]] do not need to know much about the Teaching Mission or anything at all to continue on in the [[morontial]] life, successfully. It is a personal decision. When Jesus told you and his [[Disciples]] in the end, to "Go forward to all nations, proclaiming [[the Gospel]], the new truth, the good news," but did not necessarily mean that his Apostles and their Disciples had to beat the other people over the head with the material until they believed it, but to make it available to them. And as you know from Jesus’ experiences during his travels, that he knew ahead of time, who would be [[receptive]] and who wouldn’t; who would be open to the new words and who would not.

Rather we would suggest that you spend your energies on [[sharing]] the [[words]] and [[thoughts]] and lessons with those who have not heard them before, and let them [[decide]]. It is much like the [[parable of the sower]], sowing the [[seeds]] in the different types of [[soil]], the stones and the brambles and the weeds. Some will hear; some will not. You can force seeds to [[germinate]], and force them to grow in unusual ways, but without your [[attention]], they will wither away. So the truth must be, and must be germinated in those [[hearts]] and [[minds]] which will sustain these words of truth, these [[insights]] on their own, for if they are not able to do so, then their [[convictions]] are not sincere; they are your convictions, then. (Thank you.) You’re welcome.
