It is not that far of a stretch, the connectivity between yourselves and myself and those of my state of being. While we may be apparently separated by the limitations of your physical receptors, your sense organs, we are nonetheless in direct contact due to the common link we have with Michael and Mother Spirit. We are for that matter more accurately connected, that is we share without the distortions of perception. You have been taught often the value of service, of being about the Father's business, of promoting the mission of Michael. You are all, I witness, eager to do what you can no matter how limited it may appear to be. In the grand scheme you all wish to pursue to your best abilities, to maximize your contribution. I would like to emphasize that this expression you endeavor to present to others is also repercussive upon yourselves bringing joy and love. The nature of life is its two-fold energy dynamic. You know the truth that you must give to receive. You know of the truth that if you lose your life for the kingdom you will receive it. In the effort to minister to your fellows you are, in reality, entering into a festival of fellowship, just as when you hug an individual you are being hugged in return. The lessons provided, the experiences offered, are likewise returned in the mutuality of shared experience. You who have taught in a formal situation where you are the designated instructor and the other is the specified student have witnessed often being taught by the student by the innocence of insight expressed, though they may not be the professional in that arena. So, I am here expressing my support for your outreach program and reminding you that you will also be well served throughout this entire and performance cycle. All of us stand ready to be of assistance.

Mark: When confronted with good and noble individuals who are earnestly in discussion and debate about the reality of their divine Parent, this issue weighs heavily on my heart. How do I reconcile such a gap?

Evanson: It is a troublesome condition, and it is prevalent upon those worlds thrown into rebellion. The natural tendency to seek and to know one's Creator is inherent in all; it is guaranteed to be a question in the mind of every individual. Though all who seek in such a manner are endowed equally with spirit presence, the condition of the world, the orientation of a given society, can hinder realizing the answer to that question. Since worlds like Urantia have lost their planetary headquarters even the physical presence of the higher realms is absent. Spirit pursuit is less tangible, less verifiable, without such agencies overtly present. The pursuit of the soul to realize its Maker recedes to a debate of the mind to answer the ultimate question. The mind, being what it is, is highly flexible. It is a gathering instrument for the personality and, to be effective as a gatherer, it is adept at entertaining divergent and diverse viewpoints. In so doing one can construct a philosophy wherein the individual has no spirit parent. While the mind is capable of developing such lines of thought, it is not comforting to the soul. Equally one may develop a line of thought full of religious facts and theories and still leave the soul hungry for personal experience. It then becomes a purpose for all who have dwelt in the presence of God to radiate that affirmation. Discussion will stimulate the mind of another, but it will be association with you that will begin to illumine the soul, and this is a path of surety, but one requiring great patience, for the weight of a logical argument may convince in a moment, but the demonstration of personal experience may require long intervals of time to witness the reality and to create the surety that you have what is doubted and what is sought for. Even the one who has developed the theory of the non-existence of God has been impassioned by the drive of spirit to know why, to find the answer to that question of origin, universal and personal. The Correcting Time is a multi-planetary outreach program to reestablish the surety of divine overcontrol on the confused worlds. You are a missionary in this correcting time, and in your smaller circle you are also reestablishing the surety of divine overcontrol. A Garden of Eden, a planetary headquarters, though absent on your world, is present where you stand when you stand in the awareness of serving Michael and confident that your experiences have developed within you a reality that is tangible to another. It is through association over and above argument that another will begin to shift the mind to the entertainment of a contrary view, one that will bring peace, not a peace of mental certainty, but a peace of personal surety. I hope this has addressed your inquiry.

Mark: Thank you. We have heard of the coming of a spiritual wave, a rising tide corresponding with the Teaching Mission. Is this also a factor that we might come to see at play in this scenario of finding our position?

Nebadonia: I am Nebadonia. Again, I rise in your awareness to intermingle with you in love. Such words as "love" and "peace" and "joy" and "light" are frequently expressed in the form of encouragement, that you may experience these states and know. Though the risk is that these words lose their impact, they bear repeating, for when you do open yourself to light and to love, peace and joy are yours even in the most trying of times. In the center of your being where I dwell these states of being are safeguarded. When you turn to me you are renourished. Turn inward during your troubling moments, for this is when you are most in need of nourishment. Yes, I do enjoy the high times when you are happy and you fellowship with me in the celebration of goodness. Likewise strength is yours when you turn in trouble, for love transcends all temporal conditions. Ever remember that love dwells deep within you. Let it rise; let it permeate all that you are and all that you do.

Elyon (Mark): Greetings, this is Elyon. Bask in the glow of your divine Parent. I offer but one small suggestion and that would be to beware of judging your personal successes based upon the reaction of another. It is your role to play to simply function as you see best, as you see fit. It is entirely up to others to act as they see best and as they see fit. When you offer yourselves in service be mindful that you may not receive the tangible results of your efforts or that these results may not meet your expectations. But if you act as the highest ambassador for truth and function in the capacity of spirit example, then you have successfully performed your duties and fulfilled your function. Do not be distressed when the reaction of others may be less than you hoped for or not as you would desire, as others must come to their own appreciation and understanding of the values you are attempting to portray. This does not mean that you have failed. The progress of another is independent of your offerings, and you must ever beware of sizing your own worth in accordance with another's reaction. Allow them complete freedom to be as they are and fulfill your complete freedom to be as you will. If you fulfill your obligation to be all that you can be, then most certainly you have succeeded. I offer this to you because the temptation is great to measure yourself in contrast to others and to others' reactions to you in this life. Simply concern yourselves with your reactions and your actions and allow others to interpret, to decide, for themselves. Simply be all that you can be and trust that this is enough, for indeed it is. Allow spirit to work and the Father's presence to work on all those around you in their time and at their pace. Be patient and be steadfast in your projection of the spirit realities you know to be true. Allow all else to work itself out as it will. Trust that you have done your part and been successful in your endeavor insofar as you have completed your task. I hope this provides some comfort, and I will withdraw at this time.
