It is pleasing for me to witness those of my ancestry, those of origin on the very sphere where I took my initial flight of faith, extending themselves so wholeheartedly toward the purpose of Michael. I am greatly cheered by the progress being made at this time on this sphere, as it is my goal to do what I can to help this planet. I lend my support to you in all your efforts toward accomplishing our shared purpose.

Do be assured that I am contributing to the project so near at hand. It will bring surprises to you as you work towards this event to witness our guidance and our help as you step forward and lead the way. We will not only draw you toward beneficial aspects, but we will wholeheartedly be at your side to help you fulfill what you choose for yourself to accomplish.

This event is one that intrigues all the teaching associates of mine. However, I ask you to hold in your mind's eye the clarity that this event is mainly for your human brethren. It is for them that you are drawn to this service. Teachers are to help you. Be not concerned that you must entertain us, or that you may perchance disappoint us. We are most thrilled, and we will be on the staff with you helping

This is my comment tonight. Good bye for now.

This is my comment tonight. [[Good bye]] for now.

Simeon: I'm kind of getting a concept. That the best organization or coordination is done by those hardly seen. It isn't as pronounced. When something is running effectively, those who are running it need not be pronounced or highly visible to allow a smooth, continuous operation.

I'm greeting that if we take this approach in bringing forward this gathering, simply coordinating the information and letting it flow to its logical conclusion, that it will be much smoother than if we try to make every event the most special, or over-organize. Simple is effective; just to take what we have and utilize it to the best of our abilities in a way that is conducive to all.

Michael: Good evening my children. It pleases me to be among you tonight. In getting ready for your event, remember what is the purpose of my mission: the furthering of the Father's will, the recognition of your brotherhood with each other, the cooperation and love shared among all.

Michael: Good evening my children. It pleases me to be among you tonight. In getting ready for your [[event]], remember what is the [[purpose]] of my [[mission]]: the furthering of [[the Father]]'s will, the recognition of your [[brotherhood]] with each other, the [[cooperation]] and [[love]] [[shared]] among all.

Topics are an interesting conversation for the furtherance of the individual in this mission, but forget not the teachings of the mission itself. These are what must be spread to those outside your circle. These are that which will change Urantia, which will bring it into light and life.

Jonathan: Thank you, Michael. When Simon mentioned the concept that came to him of unrecognized and behind the scenes service, I kept feeling this thought of humility. On reflecting it seems like there is a way to be humble and yet very active, getting some thing done and doing the Father's will without being entangled in self-recognition, or those kinds of things. Then there is the (false) humility that says I can't possibly do this.

Simon: I was thinking on that too, that it isn't necessarily saying that just because we're willing to take on the ideas of coordinating this conference that we should be uninvolved with the process. If you wanted to do some presentation, like the relationship of the T/R to the teacher, then fine. What I was getting didn't seem like that's what was being said. Just that in the coordinating part of the conference, we shouldn't worry about recognition for our efforts or to think that we have to go out of our way to make it spectacular. These things will take care of themselves if we just take the task at hand.

Daniel: Like we read about the Master's ability to take the task in front of him and devote everything to that task without the thought of anything but the accomplishment of that task, not what it would do for him, none of that. The Father's will will be expressed. It will be achieved.

Elyon: I am Elyon. I take great delight in recognizing the growth that you have made in this year's sojourn I have spent with you. You have made great steps forward in your understanding, for you are now indicating to me that you have attained and are enacting what has been my training for you. The initiative you undertake on your own free will is the very result I strive for in my mission assignment. I want you to know that I am very happy for you and the personal ascent you each are making. I am equally filled with joy for the success I feel my group is making. Keep up the good work.

Listen well to the words of your teachers. The more this unfolds, the more you will recognize how nearly equal we stand with you. This mission has no ranking in regards to attainment. There is no missionary ladder to ascend. We all work for Michael singly and work to help one another. All of us are growing. I will close by saying, "Fight the good fight."
