BOB: Good morning, this is Bob. (Group greetings) Welcome to the Denver Teaching Mission group. It is good to see that you are relaxed today; you seem to be very mellow, as you would say. Today we will begin another basic lesson; today’s lesson involves the “Perfection of God” and the “Love of God.” (Student: Two of my favorite subjects!) Ours as well.

BOB: Good morning, this is Bob. (Group greetings) Welcome to the Denver Teaching Mission group. It is good to see that you are relaxed today; you seem to be very mellow, as you would say. Today we will begin another basic lesson; today’s lesson involves the “Perfection of God” and the “Love of God.” (Student: Two of my favorite subjects!) Ours as well.

As you recall, we have been here a long time, reconnoitering and preparing for the Teaching Mission and for the Correcting time. It has been in mind through the administration of this local universe for many, many thousands of years. It is in fact, a part of your world history that you will find on Salvington, on the walls that depict the history of the local universe.

One of the greatest, unfathomable concepts of all human-kind, even mortals wherever they may be found on all developing worlds, is the lack of appreciation, even rudimentary understanding, of God and the nature of God. Even your religions today, many of which discuss the love of God, accept this love didactically; they accept it as a matter of principle involved in their texts, yet when we hear two or more people argue the characteristics of God, they oftentimes dismiss or look at the perfection of God as impossible. Yet perfection is fundamental to eternity; when you have arrived in Paradise and have gone through that wonderful moment, that eternal moment of the embrace with the Creator, you too will have received the “kiss,” so to speak, of perfection. Your long, long journey through many lifetimes in the local universe ascension scheme for yourself is a process of approaching perfection. In your finaliter stage, you recall that you will have one more step of attainment, to incorporate into your being, and this can and will only occur when this universe, the Grand Universe, has come into stability and itself is then in a state of perfection. We surmise that is so, at least. But until then, as finaliters, you will be nigh on to perfect. Quite an accomplishment!

Let us take a small break to answer any questions you may have about this topic.

Student: I have one.

Student: I have one.

Let us look at the other side of this: Where is NOT God? Where is NOT Love? Where are all the negative emotional states? Where do they exist? (Student: In unreality?) They exist in the self-willed decisions of selfish individuals, of immature individuals. So, you see, there is a purpose to your life, and that is to grow into love, to grow into perfection. Perfection and love are not synonymous, though they are very much related in the universe. As you become more perfect in your nature, you become more loving; as you become more loving, it becomes evident to all around you, to your guardian angel, to your Divine Fragment, and of course to your neighbors, to your friends, that you are loyal, you are compassionate, you are caring, you are forgiving—and this is just a very small list of positive qualities that you will find, that support the nature of loving.

Your journey is a journey of experience, of attaining perfection. But such a thought is really too profound to encompass or incorporate. It is much easier to attempt the process of becoming loving, rather than perfect, and in becoming loving you take on those attributes of a loving nature. Here is some homework for you: Write down all of the positive values that support having a loving nature. Write down all of those which you believe that you encompass fairly well—it doesn’t have to be right up there at 100%, but one that you are fairly consistent with. Write all of them down, the positive qualities of a loving nature. Then, make another list—list those negative values and qualities about yourself, which you desire to grow out of. Are you resentful? Are you spiteful? Are jealousy and envy too closely incorporated in your daily, moment-to-moment thinking? I would encourage you, I will help you to take one of those negative qualities and try to eliminate them. And what is the opposite of that negative quality? Yes, always loving, and being of a loving nature is always at the opposite of all negative ones, but which one is most closely related? And then work on that.

Now, this is where many teachers of a human nature become lacking—they tell you to become perfect, to overcome these [negative qualities], but they do not give you the tools to do that. You were raised as a blank slate. Were you raised in a loving household where there was forgiveness, where there is no envy or jealousy, no spite or resentment—it would be easy to overcome those. The tools are already there; you were given them by being raised in a loving, functional family. But perhaps you were raised where resentment and envy were dominant; you would have a real struggle to overcome those, because they were ingrained in your thinking, they were a part of your learning process, part of your indoctrination. So you will need to remind yourself not to be spiteful, but to be forgiving, supportive and fair. You may want to participate in a self-help group; you may want to read books on how to overcome these aspects—they are available.

1) Is to evaluate your growth, the positive qualities that you have taken on in your lifetime. Oftentimes, mortals are unaware of their own growth, until someone stops them and says, “My, you have really changed. You are such a wonderful person. I knew you when…” and they might recite some of your negative qualities in the past. It is important that you know that you have grown, that yes, you have evolved and have taken on more of a loving nature. And what does this do?

3) It is important for you to develop your consciousness of yourself, your self-awareness, and most importantly, your self-appreciation. Many of you as you grow older, continue to denigrate yourself and belittle yourself for being such-and-such a way. Thought it is unfair as a pattern to say those things, at some times it may be appropriate if long-standing habits of a negative nature need to be addressed and overcome. Do not diminish the work of your Divine Fragment, the very essence of the loving nature of God invested in you, who is ever urging you to become greater than you are.

Bob: We can provide no further confirmation other than these and past assurances through the TRs and Teaching Mission transcripts. This is a new revelation; this is the illustrated, personalized form of the Urantia Book. The Urantia Book was and is a wonderful beginning, a grand reference for your life in a large universe, a cosmology to assist you to understand your place and position and status and progress in the universe. Yet it is not complete. That is why the Correcting Time includes the Teaching Mission as an adjunct to the Urantia Book revelation. The Fifth epochal Revelation includes more than simply a “book.” But providing validation for this on the outer, in the form of perhaps another book, would be in question. Therefore, the support of this logic is only from within itself—it is a closed circuit to your thinking—but to a larger revelation, a mind that can see the larger revelation and speak and know and hear, from the Spirit of Truth, the Christ Spirit, which is here, you will know what is true and what is not true. That is the validating, but improvable source for these questions and answers. Do you believe that in your estimation, this answers the question? (It seems like it should satisfy him.) Thank you.

Student: The second question is from someone who is familiar with the Padgett transmissions, (and I’m not,) and they say that not many mortals from Urantia have gone beyond the sixth mansion world, nor fused by their own choice, and he was wondering if this is true, and if so, what happens to them?

Bob: That is your question? (Yes.) Because of the decisions God has made to build this world, create it, and because of the decisions of others, who have made this world a torment for you. This is also made beautiful by the decisions that you have made; it is also made a torment by the decisions you have made. The undoing of the torment is in taking on a more loving nature and living in a loving way. That may sound awfully romanticized, but in fact simply living life by making decisions of perfection, those qualities of living, which are exemplified in your spiritual heroes that you have mentioned today is a practical way of learning to live successfully in a large universe. Strive to take on these decisions, these ways of living and thinking, and you will find a world that is different.

Blessings to you all today, thank you for coming. We hope that you may be able to learn the lessons of loving more easily in your life, as it is difficult until you do. We understand this, and that is why there is so much help abiding by you and in you, and the awareness of that is becoming clearer. Good day. (Group: Thank you for coming.)
