Gabriel(Bill): Greetings from Universe headquarters. I am Gabriel. It is a pleasure to be in your company, my friends, and to sit among you as one divine Son with my fellow sons and daughters. Yes, you may be surprised to hear from me. But, upon reflection, you should not be; for you have heard from my Father and your Father many times as His Spirit is present in your minds. I am referring to Michael of Nebadon. It is part of my rounds of administrative duty to be in touch with all the myriad of inhabited planets in our Universe, not the least of which is Urantia of Satania. I would like to share my feelings and impressions of the progress on your world at this time of epochal significance.

There are many who are protesting the old ways of thinking among your fellows. The evidence of social evolution on this planet is attested to by the protest against limiting options and choices to the past. Fewer and fewer people are saying, "We have always had wars, and we always shall". You are among these protesters. Remember the word, "protest", has a positive meaning or significance as well as a negative. You are stating in protest what you are in favor of, which is to open the options of choice to the widest possible view, to expand the parameters of consideration to include alternate and better methods of human interconnectedness.

Minearisa(Bill): Dear students, I am Minearisa, your Instructor in Residence. We are honored to have Gabriel with us today to address us. I sense that there are thoughts in your minds which you would like to express. Now I will turn over the time to you for comments, questions, etc. The floor is yours.

Bob D.: I guess the thought that was in my mind...good evening Minearisa...I was trying to follow everything, so I am not sure that I have all of Gabriel's comments completely. I just want to pick a thought that I have been having for the last year or so...the idea that it seems like we have through our choices been given this great opportunity to have interaction with teachers and to some extent each of us in our individual lives do things and make attempts to share things you have taught us with other people. I have often wondered about whether there is a value in collective purpose within the mission; or whether it is really an individual mission, and that's what the purpose is. In the context of that, the question what I am pondering is that this is a critical point in the history of this planet. Maybe it isn't, but it just seems like it. It seems like leadership is really needed in so many areas. I wonder sometimes about having a group of people within the mission start a dialogue about how to solve certain problems in the world, economic, environmental and really to talk about these including teacher input philosophically, intellectually addressing some of these issues and trying to come up with ideas for solutions that might be fresh or new. Yet, I have never really come out on the list and said, "Hey, does anybody want to do this?" because any time you start to do something everybody says, "Oh, God, this guy is half cocked". So I guess the question I am having is whether something like what we have been given, each of us in the group we have had, to combine that in some sort of a method to try to....I don't know exactly what I am asking. The idea that inspired this is the statement in the Urantia Book that talks about a new enlarged philosophy of living that someday will emerge. I guess if you want to comment on the ideas I have, it would be greatly appreciated.

Virginia: No. I was commenting. I heard what Nancy had said and just clarified in my mind that the term, "prophet", to her was buoying.

Minearisa: Well, let us stand and hold hands as we conclude.

Oh Sovereign of the Universes, Who gives to each Michael Son the chance to reproduce the glory of Paradise and Havona, I thank You for these faithful friends, these fellow servants, these sons and daughters, who have just begun their journey toward You, the Source of all. I thank you that they are willing to listen, to believe that they hear words from on high, to know by experience that our Master Son is the Way, the Truth, and the Life for them to live and show to others. May they all be strengthened by this gathering tonight and as they leave may their joy flow out to embrace all they come in contact with. In the name of Michael, my Sovereign and their Sovereign. Amen.
