Changes

S5: Rayson, I never thought of changing [[TR]]'s. I feel so comfortable with (T/R) and you and the [[relationship]] you have. I really enjoyed the [[discussion]], though I guess at the time it seemed a little [[confrontational]]. The results seem to have been beneficial, and I hope that both you and (T/R) are alright with that.

R: In answer to all of your comments, I offer this. It is not only the [[biases]] of the [[channel]] that may make a particular lesson or [[concept]] seem at variance with what you read in [[Urantia book]], it is also the bias of the [[teacher]]. Not every teacher, including myself, sees particular items exactly as they are presented in [[your book]], and you have all [[experienced]] this through this channel and other channels, if you recall. It is not my job as a [[teacher]] to this group to [[reiterate]] [[the book]]. That was already done quite well by many others, most of whom are at a much higher rank than I hold in the grand scheme. Rather, it is my job to try to present concepts at the human level through a [[human]]'s [[brain]] and a human's mouth and respond to [[discussion]]. And that does seem to be happening adequately with the channels that exist, and the ones who are being [[prepared]]. This is not meant to be a legalistic [[exercise]] in [[theology]], and it is important that you all [[understand]] that. There are other avenues that can be pursued if you wish to have legalistic [[discussions]] in [[theology]]. They are not in place yet, but will be offered in [[future]]. I am certainly not a perfect [[authority]] on the matters of [[the universe]]. I only offer my own [[vantage point]].

S: Rayson, I really thank you too for the [[fact]] that you continue to use the [[Urantia book]] teachings with which we are familiar as a groundwork for your lessons. Without that [[framework]], which a lot of people don't have handy, you bring it in a very personal way, very understandable, [[coordinating]] the [[thoughts]] and [[concepts]] of [[the book]] usually in different ways that make it more and more applicable to our daily lives and to [[the mission]]. And for that I really, really appreciate what you're doing every day.
