WELMEK: As always, it is my pleasure and honor to be able to be here. It is truly remarkable for us to continue to witness those of you who have come together in the Father's name. The energy and love that emanates from you is an example for your race if only they could observe and partake.

L: In the Urantia Book there's just two phrases that I copied that mentioned more of a definition, if you want to read those two, Scott.
S: Strength of character and courage is the confidence of thoroughgoing honesty about those things which one professes to believe.

The third spirit is actually one of the spirit of courage, is the basis of character acquirement and the root of moral stamina and spiritual bravery. It talks about how when the spirit of courage is enlightened by facts and inspired by truth, it becomes the urge of evolutionary ascension by the channels of intellectual and conscientious self-direction. So early on, we're more connected to the circuit, and then it becomes a more active intentional process on our part. It works in conjunction with the spirit of knowledge and the spirit of counsel, which are described there. If there are other people who are more learned in that area who would like to comment on these spirits and how courage evolves in mankind, I open it up to comment on that.

D: Can I read the one before that? I think that's something that I really..."You are hardly worthy of your kingdom when your service consists so largely in an attitude of regretting the past, whining over the present, and vainly hoping for the future. Cease your useless yearning and go forth bravely doing that which concerns the establishment of the kingdom." (Page l726)

Happy are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
Happy are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God.
Happy are they who are persecuted for righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Happy are you when men shall revile you and persecute you and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely.
Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven.
L: As humans, there is not a great deal of affecting to be done. You will be more aware of the Son's presence as you become more of a morontial life form. By the way, I have not introduced myself to you yet. My name is Lo-Kim. I too am a teacher here on your planet. It pleases me to be able to join you in this mission of seeking the Father's will and following through with others.
The wisdom throughout the universes is beyond my ability to comprehend, yet I see it manifested daily. Know that the Father loves each one of you and know that in time your awareness of this love will improve. I believe the wisdom of this event forthcoming will prove to mightily move you.
