Changes

Your [[focus]] in this dispensation, yes, has been as you say, the defense of this [[text]], its independence from any [[religion]] about it, and so you [[wonder]], is it our purpose in the Teaching Mission to build a ‘religious community’? My child, it is our [[purpose]] to build within you the [[experience]] of the [[community]] of [[creation]] that is composed in [[love]], [[illumined]] by the [[light]] of [[our Father]], and transmitted according to his will. In this dispensation whose text you continue to serve, there is the provision for the correction of this damaging [[thought]] that you and your fellows are estranged from the larger community in which you dwell.

A ‘religious community’ you say? Not as conceived by your world’s understanding of this, no, because it is the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_155#155:6._THE_SECOND_DISCOURSE_ON_RELIGION religion of spirit], the experience of this gift of spirit which we build, build upon, allowing others to do likewise, this progressive construction has been unfolding upon your world since the beginning. You know well the designs of the previous stages of its cultivation. Within the stage of this dispensation, yes, there is an objective; there is a plan. I have spoken of the [logistics] of our plan of establishing contact points throughout your world with this [[Teacher Corps|Corps of Teachers]] authorized for service by [[Michael]] to assist in the realization of the connection that you and your fellows have within you. Some will build temples, yes, others will sing songs; you have spoken of this well, knowing that there will be many responses to this gift we bring, but the [[community]] we would build is a [[civilization]] growing in health upon your world, drawing forth potentials of all your peoples in service to this emerging [[identity]] as a [[unique]] [[culture]] within creation, and you know well the unique pathways followed by [[Urantia]].

Eventually, yes, there will be geographic centers identified in relation to a physical site. You should not however concern yourself with this construction. Too often when there is the realization of contact, the [[human]] goes forth to build a [[shrine]]. You would do well to [[focus]] your efforts at discovering this shrine, if you will, that is already built within you. If so, you will find that all other [[material]]s needed will find themselves in the course of your mortal living being constructed around you. No, I would not divert your [[focus]], I would enlarge it and in regards to your [[attunement]] with [[our Father]], I would enhance it.
