A. It would be helpful for your [[group]] to [[pray]] for a [[teacher]]. It would be helpful for the [[individuals]] of your [[group]] to [[discuss]] [[this mission]] and the [[opportunities]] that having a teacher might provide. In doing so, this may serve to [[motivate]] a member of your group to seek to [[perform]] the human [[function]] that David and Michael perform for this group.

Q. Norson, in [[the book]] in the thing on spirit and spiritual reality, it says that "All [[patterns]] of [[reality]] occupy [[space]] on the [[material]] levels, but spirit patterns only exist in relation to space; they do not occupy or displace space, neither do they contain it." So my question is, as a [[spirit]], or do spirit beings occupy [[space]] in the same way that we do?

A. The [[understanding]] of [[space and time]] is very [[difficult]] on your world. We could fill this room with literally hundreds of thousands of [[beings]]. [[Time and space]] are somewhat [[different]] than what you [[experience]] on your world, but conceptually there is almost no way for you to really [[understand]] this. When you pass on from [[mortal]] [[flesh]] and you [[awaken]] on the [[mansion worlds]] and you are able to look back upon the world and see [[mortals]], you will immediately sense and better [[understand]] the [[difference]] in [[time and space]]. The [[explanation]] in [[your text]] is there primarily to help you [[understand]] simply that [[time and space]] are [[realities]], but there is not enough [[information]] in [[your text]] to truly bring you to a full [[realization]] of our [[understanding]] of time and space. This can only occur when you can actually [[experience]] it. While it is important to [[think]] about these [[relationships]] because it will help [[structure]] your ways of [[thinking]] and help you [[understand]], again, that these are [[realities]], you will experience [[limitations]] in your ability to fully [[comprehend]] these [[concepts]].

Q. Norson, upon [[resurrecting]] on the [[mansion world]], will we miss our loved ones on [[Urantia]] that are still here? Will we [[experience]] [[loneliness]] for them?
