Olfana: I would be [[happy]] to have whatever [[statement]] I now make reproduced upon your lists. I enjoy, very much, the [[communications]] that occur there , and at one point, S made the joking comment that she felt [[the Teachers]] were, indeed, signed on with their own E-mail addresses-- , , etc.--and most certainly, S struck a note of [[truth]] in this. Anytime you are engaged in these communications, [[discussions]], and discoveries of the ways in which you [[perceive]] us, what you wish to learn from us, what you are learning from us; this is the [[heart]] of the matter for us as Teachers. And we [[study]] you all vigorously in those moments. Do not [[doubt]] that when you phone each other, we are conference calling in those moments, that the letters you [[write]] to each other are [[shared]] by us. The [[poems]] and personal [[journals]] that you write of your interest and ongoing [[research]] into this [[process]], we are privy to these, my dear [[students]]. (Smiling) I [[hope]] you are [[comfortable]] with this thought because it is unavoidable. We are there with you, and we intend to remain so. I would say one brief point regarding this. We are not [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peeping_Tom#Peeping_Tom Peeping Toms]. We do not wish to [[invade]] your own territory or personal [[zone]], and therefore if, indeed, you ever [[choose]] not to have us observing or watching you, simply think the [[thought]], I wish my [[privacy]], now. And you’ll have it, I guarantee you.

But, back to this other point made about the E-mail lists. We are [[intensely]] pleased, overjoyed, I would say, to see the ways in which you have caught the ball and run with it yourself. You do not need us hand holding you at each [[step]] in this [[process]]. I would [[hope]] that you can understand that this is one of the gifts you have been given by being born a Urantian. Not much hand holding occurs on [[this planet]]. Is that not true? As a [[species]], you would have died out long ago, my dear ones, if you had not had such an inner [[desire]] and urge for self-[[survival]], and a creative response to the [[challenge]] of the [[moment]]. This is a great gift in the Urantian nature, and we are watching it [[manifest]] itself in your own [[interactions]] with us in this [[Teaching Mission]]. You know how to take this ball and run with it. Sometimes, [[we Teachers]] have a bit of trouble keeping up with you. Oh, my goodness! Where are they going, now? In what [[direction]] is this about to take off? We respond to this with [[joy]]. But, indeed, you present some [[challenges]] for us, also.

This transcript is from the first evening at the Nashville TM Conference. Olfana says a lot about the e-mail lists, and all the other ways in which we [[communicate]] with each other. I'm posting this to TMtalk, because I thought they would find it interesting, also. Enjoy! Love, Susan
