Tomas(TR #2): "Thank you, Daniel, co-teacher, and good evening friends and loyal students. We have evolved to a point where it is desirous that we address a new facet of our Teaching Mission community. The growth of this family of believers has been on a steady course. The initial discourses focused on our existence in your realm and an ensuing process of assuring you of your value and in encouraging your understanding of love with subsequent related lessons of a spiritual nature.

Once you became comfortable with your spiritual authenticity we began to delve into mindal matters and subsequent emotional dealings where we have spent considerable time undergoing great healing individually and as a group. Of course, the lessons you embark upon and socialize become part of the exterior arena of Urantia. Thus it is natural now and oddly timely prior to a birthday party and another conference that we should bring to you the topic of social fragrance. We thus now flip into the more physical aspect of those mighty messages of spiritual truth and psychic harmony which have been the thrust of our efforts so far. You are now taking what you have learned into your greater community, the Teaching Mission of your immediate neighbors and thus this community of believers is being fruitfully expanded.

What is the meaning of social fragrance? Of course the earlier lessons on spiritual aspects and psychological aspects are part and parcel of your social composition. Your mastery of social fragrance is yet to come, but your courage is adequate to begin bringing to your superconsciousness the impact of your interrelatedness with others--not that you will be in a position, particularly, to set an example, no, but that as a neighborhood you can intermingle more fluidly with your extended neighborhood. Thus those lessons of growth which you have worked on and which you are assimilating in your deep mind are going to be projected outward into your brothers' and sisters' presence.

I am visualizing a dance, a synchronicity, a choreography of souls united in fellowship. The dance which you invite others to partner with you is a movement which is both conjoining and uplifting. It is a method of bringing out the best in each other, in luring forth your more refined and sensitive selves for the refreshment of your coworkers.

We will spend more time, much time throughout our work together, on the more physical aspects of your ministry. But it is important to go slowly that what you have gleaned from the earlier lessons are integrated into your path. In time we will discuss how to become such a mortal being that your well-unified personalities, your social fragrance, indeed, will draw to you those who would seek to discover what you have. In your presentation there will be many enjoyable facets to dwell upon, in our lessons and in your own personal recesses.

In view of the program for this evening I will not extend my lesson further but will plant this seed of social fragrance in your mind. The essence, of course, is a love saturated soul in a working arena, a harmonious loving environment with others. It is a critical facet of teamwork, and that, as you know, will be the lesson you will work on for many aeons. The isolation age is over, and it is time to bring forth that which you are becoming into context with your peers. I look forward to variations of discourse on this subject, but for now, dear students, I eagerly look forward to all things and return you now to the ministrations of our friend, Daniel."

Daniel(TR #4): "Yes, friends. I apologize for the delay. Nancy became aware that Deborah is perfectly capable of receptivity, at this time is, in fact, in tune. And with that awareness and lack of need for her services she began to weaken and worry about usurping Deborah's position and began to doubt her abilities as a TR. She tends to function best when she has the belief that there is no one else and that it is up to her. However, I have her agreement and cooperation to proceed as we began with my dear friend PamElla serving as my mouthpiece this evening. She may consider Deborah a backup if, indeed, for any reason she herself is incapable of continuing. [Ed. comment: Nancy/PamElla was not feeling well that evening.]

Two weeks ago you and I had a [[discussion]]. I had come to the Urantia [[meeting]] [[feeling]] very upset and unhappy. The new [[circuitry]] which had been installed on Monday that same week was causing me distress, both [[physically]] and mentally. The left side of my head was hot to the [[touch]] and [[painful]]. It felt unbalanced. My [[dreams]] were all about [[laboratory]] [[animals]] with sections of their skull removed and electrodes in their [[brains]]. At the meeting, I shared most of this with the group. I was certain that all I needed was to bring this to your [[attention]]. I trusted that you would do whatever was [[necessary]] to rectify the situation.

After our talk, I was certainly no longer under this [[delusion]]. You have often referred to us as "[[creatures]]." Perhaps so, but all the [[transcripts]] I have read indicate that even we lowly "creatures" are children of the same Parent, and deserve to be treated as such. You [[compared]] me to a person born with a clubfoot--perhaps to infer a spiritual [[handicap]]. You also compared the [[circuitry]] to a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosthesis prosthetic] device. Any medical professional will [[adjust]] a device to avoid discomfort for their patient, because they know that [[pain]] is a deterrent to [[healing]]. You refused to discuss removing or even adjusting the [[circuitry]], except to recommend [[Life Carrier]] [[healing]]. Why would I need such healings if the [[circuitry]] was causing me no harm? What did you [[fear]]?

Then Daniel, you avoided the issue when I complained that this additional circuitry was installed without asking or informing me. I go to the dentist for a checkup, and he tells me that I have a cavity which needs to be filled, that does not give him permission to do a root canal and put a crown in once my mouth is deadened. Even though I cannot feel exactly what he is doing because of the anesthetic, he still has an obligation to inform me of any changes he may wish to make once he has begun. On our world, this is professional ethics. Should we expect any less of you who call yourselves Teachers? My free will is being violated when you assume permission.

After that, you slyly asked whether anyone in the room could see any of the circuitry. Of course, there was no answer. You told me that I was over-reacting. I refused to reply, for that was when I knew for sure that you were only toying with me. For three years you have encouraged this group, praising every small evidence of their faith in you and your cohorts, though none of them is able to see you. Daniel, it cannot be both ways. I, too, believed in your existence and trusted your words. yet because we were unable to see the circuitry, you inferred that it could not be in my awareness, nor cause me pain. At that moment all the fine and caring words I had read in the transcripts became a mockery. My hopes for spiritual guidance and growth turned to dust. First I felt hurt, and then, anger. I can be patted on the head and told that I am over-reacting by any garden variety oaf on the planet. From you, Daniel, it is most disturbing, for it implies a total lack of respect for a being placed in your care.

I felt that you were treating me like a child, and said so. You called me "pal". Finally, you told me that the new circuitry was really a reward because I had just made a big leap in spiritual growth. This made no sense to me at all, for spiritual growth should lead to less need for aids or devices, not more. Down through the centuries there have been a few shining souls who could see and hear what the majority could not. Many were persecuted. At best, they were misunderstood. But their reports have given hope to those who have followed after. None of them, to my knowledge, needed circuitry to enable their vision. If our planet is indeed on the brink on Light and Life will we not see for ourselves soon enough? The Christ I believe in does not need electronic devices to communicate with anyone!

In my fifty-three years, there have been many groups who came on the national or international scene wanting to change the world. Most often, whatever was emphasized in their propaganda was exactly what they wanted to take from their followers. Groups who promote peace find themselves in the thick of the battle. If you sign on the bottom line for hope, be prepared for despair. Churches preach God's love and then manipulate their congregations through guilt and sin. Though the Urantia Book repelled me, the transcripts spoke of Love, of Trust, of having Free Will. All those nice nominalizations. I should have known better. The "hook" was the opportunity for spiritual growth. That made it very hard for a seeker to walk away. All the signs were there. I didn't want to read them. When a group which talks about Free Will teaches you that you have a "Thought Adjuster" who will, if you're good enough, become a "Thought Controller"- You are in trouble! When they tell you to Trust- plan on losing your initiative. If Daniel's tender mercies are any example, Love is about doing what you're told and not questioning his authority. Have you noticed that not one of them can do a thing without asking permission? I have a sense that their real Mission would have us all like little robots in their circuitry, marching in lock step through eternity. Believe me, Daniel, when I tell you that I will not be so deceived again. Since you are already in Hell, I'll see you when it freezes over. Janet Moore

My first words are again to you, this group, as I stated earlier. I am most pleased with the love and concern you have expressed for your sister, for a member of your more intimate community and a member of the family of Urantia. This love is most necessary.

Janet, my dearest friend, thank you for bringing your anger, upset, beliefs, and understanding directly to me that I may address these. Dear friend I am extremely saddened by my failure to communicate to you my love, my compassion, and my understanding of the distress which you feel and are currently undergoing, and by my failure to respond to the technical aspects of your question, your request of that evening. You asked me to take off, remove, the circuitry. And, my dear, I did not address that directly, which was my failing.

My dear, there is no new electronic circuitry installed in your head, and therefor there is nothing for me to remove. Let me try to explain for you in more detail the nature of the circuitry of which we speak.

Circuitry is the natural inheritance of planets who have a normal evolution. Circuitry is, perhaps, a misnomer in this situation. It is a word that we borrowed from your language but it is by no means meant to represent electrical wiring. In fact, the nature of this linkup is love. The circuits are made of love. As we are all a part of the creation of the First Source and Center, we are His love manifest and thusly is the circuitry flowing out from Paradise Isle a connecting link to Infinite Love. Circuitry cannot cause pain, for it has no power. It is only the pathway through which beings (all of God's creations) are able to enrich spiritual development and reach further potential.

These circuits have not existed for over 250,000 years. These circuits were not here at the time of your birth. They are, in fact, new and are part of the Correcting Time that is designed to bring this planet back to its natural state had there not been the rebellion in heaven. At that time, although love remained the fact of the essence of individuals, the spiritual circuits were severed, for not only could they be used for good but they would have been used by the celestial rebels to continue to spread the falsehoods to other inhabited worlds.

Janet, I recommend that you read in the Urantia Book about the Lucifer Rebellion. I invite you, suggest that you, indeed, read Lucifer's proclamation, for I believe you will read much that stirs your soul, that you will say..yes, perhaps Lucifer was right after all! And yet another part of you will say..no..there is greater truth than even that. And I see you now as being torn between the truth that you feel inside and the residue of the Lucifer Rebellion. If you read the Lucifer Manifesto this may bring this issue to a head for you at which point you may more clearly decide.

My dearest friend, circuitry whose essence is love is incapable of causing pain in and of itself, but it is possible for the opening of circuitry to cause pain when the increased flow of love coming across the circuitry is resisted or when one has conflicting ideas that must be dealt with. An example of such a conflict is knowing and believing that one should be tolerant but being unable to be so in daily living.

Think, if you will, of a stream with a large boulder in the middle. When the runoff is low, the water parts harmlessly around the boulder with little agitation. As the water's flow increases with the melting of large ice fields above, the friction created by the existence of the boulder in the stream increases, and water now crashes into the boulder creating turbulence and--if you will--pain.

Additionally, the mortal being is not capable of experiencing the full love of the First Source and Center, the full love Christ Michael/Jesus, or the full love of the Mother Spirit. The mortal being would, indeed, be blinded by the full force of such love. Others of your fellow sisters and brothers can share experiences with you of opening to love and finding it almost painful in its intensity and needing to have that love volume turned down.

And, so, the opening of the circuitry increases the flow of truth, of love to the individual. The individual's response to that increased flow determines their experience of it. In this sense, the opening of circuitry can hurt.

My friend, I am not in charge of your linkages.

My friend, I am not in [[charge]] of your [[linkages]]. You, yourself, through your [[free will]] have chosen that link to the [[First Source and Center]], have chosen to be linked with [[brothers and sisters]], have chosen the [[path]] of [[love]]. You, yourself, have put the [[circuitry]] into place. But you see, to ask to have those linkages, those loving circuits severed is the same as asking for [[personality]] [[isolation]].

Daniel(TR #1): Growing into spiritual awareness and God-consciousness brings you forth in a higher plane of enlightenment. Your desiring to remove this channel would set you back in your evolutionary process. It is never easy to grow. It is never easy to face changes. It is very difficult to have trust and hope when you are in the process of change and growth. It is often easier for individuals to desire that which is comfortable, that which is status quo, that which is known.

The support that you have around you, my dear Jan, will uphold you. Know that the layers that you have peeled back can remain peeled through your continuing forward. If, however, you are unable to continue, then these layers will again fold back in on themselves.

All spiritual growth is not painful for spiritual growth produces inner joy, peace and serenity that is felt when one is in the understanding of love. However, human growth does go through various stages, and the undoing of the past is, indeed, painful. And these shards that have been exposed for you now will in time be worn down like the grains on a rock such as sandstone if you can continue to put forth the erosion necessary to break them down.

It is necessary for one who has already exposed themselves to the shards that they continue to break down those layers. For, you see, the shard is like the nerve of a tooth. If the tooth is healthy, then the nerve will be as well. If the enamel of the tooth breaks down and the tooth begins to decay and the nerve is exposed, pain ensues. It is an unfortunate and a dismal part of human life on this planet that far too many of you reached adulthood damaged, abused, confused and fearful. You, like the tooth, have had your enamel worn away and broken down. Some are able through work to move on. And, while there is growth pain, they maintain. That is, they fill the cavity, and, with proper care, the nerve is not exposed. Others are not so fortunate; the cavity enlarges, and the root is exposed. In this case it will require more time and work to fix the problem. Simply filling in the cavity will not do; extraction of the root is necessary to cease the pain. What this means in human terms and not in dental talk is indeed hard work, painful remembrances, and learning to love, forgive, trust, and risk beyond what one feels they are able to do.

You, my dear, have been very courageous in the past. You have struggled through many emotions, many ideas, many intellectual debates concerning the purpose of life and all of what seems to be the unfairness of life. My understanding of your character gives me hope that even though this too is a challenging time, you will persist, for it has been part of your underlying pathway to seek and know the Father, to seek and know God.

Therefor look into your heart. Know that for sure there is no need for the true seeker to need any outside source for spiritual growth. Spiritual knowledge and understanding of the purpose of life is from within. All growth must come from within. There can be no blaming or putting to fault anything that has come from within. That is to say, humans cannot blame or find fault in outside appearances if they come from within.

The mind is essential in bringing the voyager of time into the reality of the journey of ascension. It is what you seek and strive to do that is most important, my dear. The fact that you desire to know the Father and His Will is the very fact that opens you up to growing day by day in His overcare.

The circuitry that flows into this planet now is one that has opened up this planet to receive all of the knowledgeable and giveable aspects of the First Source and Center. The purpose of isolation so many years ago was to protect those who were held in the isolation. While this appears almost contradictory, why isolate an already torn planet? Why not support it with the spiritual circuitry, spiritual energies?..the contradiction is in appearance only. Spiritual support remained, and isolation of this planet and the others involved in the rebellion allowed time for free agency to play itself out.

Free agency is that which has been given as a great gift to humans and many other types of beings. Had God created all planets in perfection, then there would have been no need for free agency. For all, then, would in a sense be robotic. All would just naturally follow and be a part of. Free agency allows each individual to determine and choose. Free agency gives you the choice between many options. There is good, and there is evil.

Had there not been default, evil would not have had as great a chance of perpetuating itself to the degree it has on this planet. But just because there has been a perpetuation of evil does not mean that there has not been a perpetuation of good! For within each human being there is an Inner Guide. That Inner Guide is not One that should be taken lightly. It is the actual Fragment of the First Source and Center. It is your connection to God! God is love manifested. In each and every one of you is that gift of love. God also gave you that mind that you could choose to reject or to open to that love. My dear, you know what that love is, for you have given it many times over to the people who come to you, the broken bodies, the hurting bodies. You know that love, and you know how often you, yourself, wish you could help those that are lying there hurting and crying out for the understanding of that Inner Guide to be made known to them. In your essence, in your being, you have known all along that there is more than just one planet, that this was not just an accident. Yet you have seen many whose understanding and whose hope was on the wane, and you have given them a different sense of purpose by your loving ministry.

And so that aspect which is called a Thought Adjuster is known to you. When you open up to love and to service and to wanting to see the bigger picture, when you turn yourself over to that First Source and Center how else can you spiritually grow unless that First Source and Center grows with you? Thought Controller only because you want more. You are hungry for more. You are hungry to be more.

My dear, all of the teachers in this Teaching Mission have been given for one purpose and that is to help each individual on their own pathway to see with brighter vision, to feel the love of the First Source and Center, to be able to project that aspect by their own lives. It is by their fruits that they will be known. Our mission has been geared to helping you realize your fruits, to realize that each and every one of you are a son and daughter of the First Source and Center, and in being that son or daughter you are never alone, you are part of the One, you are part of the Whole.
