I [[develop]] this [[idea]] to convey to you the [[possibilities]] of [[future]] [[developments]] for your [[planet]] here.  It has not been overrun with people.  It is not brought down by [[disease]].  It has not been [[destroyed]] by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollution pollution]. All these concerns are in the [[public]] eye but it is still “[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_195#195:9._CHRISTIANITY.27S_PROBLEM quivering on the brink” (195:9.2)] of some [[wondrous]] times ahead and the [[potential]] for creating a [[brave]] new world toward [[light and life]] is exciting.  In some ways, what you do from this point forward will [[determine]] what direction your world will take.  There are certainly those who feel that it will destroy itself, but we will not [[focus]] on that destructive [[angle]] for there are too many [[young people]] and [[idealists]] in our midst to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stimulation stimulate] and [[encourage]] and this is what I opt to do today, to stimulate and [[encourage]] the young people who have [[wondrous]] [[ideas]] about a better tomorrow for this [[planet]] in terms of [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_Power/sun power], [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_Power wind power], [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_Power water power]; in terms of [[design]] of [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cities cities]; in terms of [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Transportation public transportation]; in terms of [[growing]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food food] and making sure that what you take into your [[body]] is [[good]] for you, wholesome, and that how you live in proximity with others is invigorating and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stimulation stimulating] and wholesome also so that your [[relationships]] are the [[foundation]] of your [[existence]] rather than [[economics]].

The [[relationship]] you have with each other and with the world, with the [[earth]], makes all the [[difference]].  The [[possibilities]] for a new and [[different]] approach to [[experimental]] life stations is on the forefront.  Experimental life stations that will take a piece of land and develop it as a young village, a young [[society]], and [[cultivate]] it as a living thing that will [[support]] its [[citizenry]] – wholesome, clean and [[healthy]] – something to thrive in.  I was fortunate to live on a world that had designated pockets of [[light and life]].  The entire [[planet]] was not settled in [[light and life]], no.  There were some (areas) that were like a [[disease]] that had to be cut away, [[alienated]] from those of us who were advanced and opted to live a [[progressive]] and [[spiritual]] [[Lifestyle|life style]]. And so even as your world has its [[turmoil]] and [[difficulties]], even as there are still some very [[primitive]] people that need to [[work]] out their basic [[natures]], there are among you who are [[peace]] lovers and [[altruists]] and there is no [[reason]] why you cannot pursue the dream of [[light and life]] for your area, your [[friends]] and [[family]], your little piece of the rock.

These kinds of stations are an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oasis oasis] and they are an example to others of how it can be done.  People can live in [[harmony]].  People can [[transcend]] their petty [[difficulties]].  People can figure out how to succeed in the face of [[difficulty]].  People can do it if they give themselves a [[chance]], if they work [[together]], and if they [[work]] with the [[spirit]] and the spirits that will help them do that very thing.

I know that [[the Master]] said “[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_137#137:8._SERMON_ON_THE_KINGDOM my kingdom is not of this world]” and I am not suggesting that you attempt to [[create]] a [[heaven]] on [[earth]] as a token of your [[devotion]] to [[religion]] or to [[the Master]] or to that which is [[sublime]] and [[holy]] – only to that which is [[humanly]] [[divine]], humanly [[sacred]], and that would be [[family]], cultivating the fields, tending to your people as the Family of Man, respecting one another and respecting the [[Earth]] plane that is your [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cradle cradle].  [[Humility]] is the hardest thing for people to [[embrace]].  They feel that in their [[aspiration]] for greatness they need grandness and grandness is not required.  [[Goodness]] is required, in order for you to be great.

I intended to [[encourage]] you this evening. I [[hope]] you find yourself encouraged, at least those of you are young [[idealists]] and who would [[change]] the world to the better.  There is [[hope]] for you.  And there is great hope for this world, this [[planet]].  Do not let the naysayers get you down.  Do not let the [[wars]] and [[rumors]] of wars and the [[economic]] [[Turbulence|upheavals]] of your economy today destroy your [[appreciation]] for true [[peace]] and [[wealth]].  They reside within, and you have them both in [[abundance]].  Let go of that [[paradigm]] that is no longer serving and create a new paradigm, a new experimental life station that will eventually extend from coast to coast, from pole to pole, in a [[grid]] [[work]] of [[humanity]] [[embracing]] humanity.    [[Amen]].

Yes, [[group]] is important but it doesn’t have to be like … well, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borg_%28Star_Trek%29 the Borg], to use a phrase as many of you are familiar with from [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek Star Trek].  You don’t have to all [[think]] alike and [[act]] as one at the expense of [[individuality]] or [[creativity]].  Each of you has [[character]], each of you has interest in some field or other and those of you who are like-minded are often drawn to each other and if there are [[potentials]] to be had in that amalgamation, then it might behoove you to stay with that [[group]] for awhile. Perhaps it is like the [[social architect]] who gathers [[together]] those who are of like mind in order to accomplish certain tasks, in order to be productive, not just for the [[self]] but for the [[whole]].

There are many [[patterns]] from your upbringing on this distorted world that you carry with you into your [[Future|tomorrows]] and that get in the way of those very same tomorrows, and thus the need for continuing [[education]] in the fields of [[being]] all that  you can be [[individually]].  [[Personal]] correction is an on-going thing, and it will be throughout the [[mansion worlds]].  There is much remedial [[work]] ahead, even as you have accomplished so much.  In some cases you are barely recognizable from the [[individuals]] who blundered into the [[Teaching Mission]] 20 years ago, but there is no [[graduating]] from this.  Not at this point.  There is always something to learn, some new refinement.  This keeps you fresh.  It’s that [[thing]] about ‘[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_130#130:3._AT_ALEXANDRIA the teacher must always remain the student (130:3.7)]’.  Furthermore, it reveals your [[humility]], and while there (are those) who [[love]] a [[leader]] who has no flaws, they will [[love]] even more a [[leader]] who admits his faults and attempts to make rectification for them.  This is the kind of [[thing]] that endears people to their [[leaders]].  When your President, for example, can come out and say, “I wish I would have done that other choice.  I wish I had done it differently, but this is what I did and I’ll stand by it.  But if it comes up again, I’ll know better next time.” This is the kind of [[thing]] that while there are those who would [[love]] to pick him apart for being less than [[perfect]], will admire him for being able to say he doesn’t [[know]] [[everything]], because no one on this [[plane]] knows everything -- no one.

This of [[course]] is the [[value]] of [[group]].  In the group, you [[share]] all [[knowledge]], so you bring forth what you know and you bring forth what you know and you bring forth what you know and you can find the [[consensus]] and you set forth your [[consensus]] as [[Collective Intelligence|group consciousness]].  This is something you can all live with.  It’s not something that someone set down as [[law]]; but is something that you all [[agreed]] upon as a [[community]]. This is important; it is [[teamwork]]; it is the most important [[thing]] you can learn here. You are not going to get much accomplished without the rudiments of teamwork.

TOMAS:  We have such [[wonderful]] [[Creators]].  Michel and Nebadonia have gifted us all in our [[individual]] experimental life stations with so much.  I don’t have [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goats goats] where I live now but I have had the benefit of [[creatures]].

TOMAS:  I don’t get to see too many of those – not on this assignment, but I know when I need them they will be there for me.  I do remember well how I enjoyed my [[animals]] when I was a [[mortal]] as you enjoy yours -- not only pets but herds.  It’s hard work but it’s [[simple]] and [[gratifying]].  Well, one would say, “Here’s Tomas trying to get us all to become shepherds.”  You could do worse.
