Q: Rayson, could you elaborate on [[personality]] commingling that you referred to earlier?

Q: Rayson, could you elaborate on [[personality]] commingling that you referred to earlier?

A: Yes. You may sit [[alone]] and read the [[truth]] in The [[Urantia Book]]. You may have a [[thought]] of truth on your own. But when another [[personality]] imparts this [[truth]] or thought to you and you are there to [[receive it]], to catch it, your [[personalities]] commingle and if the truth or thought is carried on a [[circuit]] of [[love]] it will hit its mark, and that is the [[power]] of what happens here. You are [[listening]] to my [[words]] but you are [[feeling]] the depth of my love for you as I say them, and this is unfathomably more powerful than [[reading]] these [[truths]]. Think of the [[Apostles]], for in truth the message of [[Jesus]] is no different than the message of The [[Urantia Book]]. Both have taught us that God is a loving Father and that men are all [[brothers]]. To have [[received]] this lesson at the foot of [[the Master]] would be much more impactful than to have [[quietly]] [[discovered]] The [[Urantia Book]] on your own and read by yourself. [[Personality]] is the gift of [[the Father]]. When two [[personalities]] [[participate]] in give and take, a new [[facet]] of the [[Supreme Being]] is born. It is an [[act]] of creation as well as an act of [[learning]].

Q: Another [[thought]] occurred to me before we started on our session today that I think bears on the lesson. I was [[thinking]] about how much more [[meaningful]] and also how much more [[difficult]] the [[application]] of [[goodness]] and [[beauty]] and [[truth]] are in my life now than when I was a child and first [[learned]] about such [[concepts]]. You mentioned in the lesson about how - because we are [[simple]] - these seem like simple [[concepts]] now, but they are very [[fundamental]]. It seems to me that as life [[grows]] more [[complex]], the application of these [[principles]] becomes more complex. Is that a right [[idea]]? And difficult?
