LinEL: Doug, do not worry. It will be fine.

Doug K: I am honored to speak directly to you, LinEL. I have [[studied]] the [[Urantia Book]] for 16 years and achieved real [[faith]] levels about 4 years ago. The [[quantum]] leap of faith that I [[experienced]] then is now repeated. With the [[advent]] of the [[Teaching Mission]], my life and the book have acquired even deeper [[meaning]] than before, thank you. Even though I have [[spiritual]] deficiencies and mortal [[handicaps]], the time has come to offer myself to [[this mission]]. I am striving to [[understand]] the [[Stilllness|quiet time]], striving to find more [[communion]] with my [[Adjuster]], I am trying to allow and [[accept]] the growing magnitude of [[the Father]]'s love. I have made a personal [[petition]] for a personal [[teacher]] and I now make that request [[public]] and [[formal]]. Through subordinate [[free will]], liberated [[logic]] do I [[surrender]] to the [[truth, beauty and goodness]] of the [[divine]] [[reality]]. Please accept me as the [[son of faith]] that my [[truth]] sense tells me that I am. Help me to circumvent impatience and be [[loyal]] to the here and now. I offer my [[talents]] and [[resources]] in whatever [[capacity]] may be of [[service]]. I open my [[mind]] and my [[heart]] as pathways to my [[soul]], to you to guide me to the [[guidance]] that is my own. I extend to you my [[hope]] and [[confidence]] in your endeavors and my [[gratitude]] for all your [[efforts]].

LinEL: Dear Doug, know you are part of [[this mission]] truly! Your [[heart]] is known. I am [[touched]] by your [[statement]]. You already have a teacher waiting, attempting [[contact]] with you. This will certainly happen. Know that you are to [[play]] your part in this and I think you will be very [[satisfied]]. We are very [[happy]] to have your [[loyalty]]. Thank you, and remember we are your [[brothers and sisters]]. There is no need to feel [[humble]] before us. Please speak with us anytime as your [[friends]] and your [[family]]. Thank you Doug.

LinEL: Within reasonable sharing time constraints, now if you wish, if not, later would be [[acceptable]] as well. You can do as you wish with this, there is no [[problem]].

Pamela: Well, I would like to [[encourage]], I would like to [[support]], any of you who are contemplating lessening your material burdens. Because I have experienced the [[joy]], inner [[peace]] and lightness that come from saying no.
