Foehn:....I have long awaited this meeting, and look forward to working with this [[[unique]]] collection of [[minds]]. My goal is to establish unity among this [[group]]. I would [[hope]] that all barriers [arising from] your concern for [[technique]] and precision of the transmission be removed from our meeting. My name is Fon, or, I am known by that name by Helen, with whom I have been praying. Although our progress is encouraging, the technique of this communication is not yet perfected.

Prepare your minds, assemble your thoughts, put aside your opinions and projections as to what may happen here, and concentrate on the circumstances that brought together this collection [of people]. The great love here is exceeded only by great faith. You are being observed by many....A union of minds is necessary for the further enactment of Michael's plan....I am one of many assigned specifically to unification of minds in preparation for the unity of Teachers, which is something I can't further explain [at this time]....It is necessary to capitalize on the talents of individuals in the Teaching Mission, as recognized by Teachers, in an organized effort [to] assign to appropriate individuals those tasks which they may best accept.

It brings me great pleasure to see this circle of friends working, overcoming barriers which still concern us and which prohibit growth....These barriers must be overcome....Through stillness of mind your fears and concerns will diminish....My message to you is to assimilate the collection of thoughts you have received, take them into the stillness, and allow them, like incense, to steep; let them settle in your mind, and intermingle with love, humor, and praise. These thoughts are valid, but your concerns are human. Trust your faith. Commit to finding the time during the day to communicate your concerns.

Please be advised that your group was chosen from [among] many, and to lose this contact would be a great defeat for the Teaching Mission. There are many lessons yet to learn, although time [is or has been] lost. We are looking forward to a time when we all will meet again. It is vital....we reach [?] greater numbers, and we are hoping, because of earlier successes, to continue to transmit information later to be used in the Mission. Many of you us you have not yet learned of, and we are awaiting your readiness. Please be made aware of the tenuous circumstances.

Anelia: You have done well in your communications with one another and you are to be commended....Your minds are gradually being prepared for more direct communication....Indeed there is a measure of discrepancy between our true impulse to you and what you may perceive.

Discrepancies have been measured and are part of the plan....

Do not be afraid to ask questions that will rely on faith in the interpretation of the answers that are given. Time-space relations are complex; you will never be able to ask questions within the limits of your language that could allow for the complete understanding of the answer, even if I was able to find ways other than verbal communication to answer these questions. You will have to rely on faith that through the progression of growth prepared for you after your completion of your walk on this planet that you will indeed graduate into understanding the interrelated activities of the Paradise ascension. Trust and faith and hope in the knowing must be the motivation in the growing.

B: Anelia, I have been trying to write on the subject of growth. Using the language of the Urantia Book, progress is defined as the addition of new meaning to experience; growth is defined as felt perception of value, and the perception of new meanings of these values. Could you say more about the feeling dimension, the notion that quality or value is something that is "felt" as is said in the Book. This is an ongoing question for me and for many. What more can you say about the role of feeling in soul development?

Josephine:....As I look upon you I see one who has a great deal of respect for the impact words may have on one another. This respect is one of the values to be discussed. Yet the emotion resulting from respect is fear. Fear is the emotion which interplays with the value of respect. Many of you could do good to contemplate on the times that fear keeps you from respecting others. The differences in your approach to situations is one of values. Remember that values are interplayed with culture. Your value system keeps the people on this planet at a level of conflict. Yet the emotions that make you brothers in this world result from fear of the loss of respect for each other's values. As diverse as the cultures of your peoples are there is a goal to reach a level of respect on this planet in the diversity of culture, not however in the diversity of values....

B: I understand you to mean that values are something apart from culture. Culture is an arena in which individuals discover or select values, which they embody in everyday life. But the values are something that comes from above, that are from God, that are self-existing; they are not invented, they are discovered. But there is a differential in discovery across cultures and of course across individuals. Is that at least a partial restatement of what you mean?

Josephine: Indeed, perhaps if I draw you a picture. Consider the seed -- the soul -- planted in the soil of oneness. As it takes root, it branches out in many directions. As it comes across a rock, it is forced to choose another path. As it searches for nourishment it grows deep and wide, and occasionally it tops the surface and must resume its search in another direction as it realizes the error of its growth.

As the seed flourishes into a young plant it is faced with the influences of its environment. Not only must it endure atmospheric influences, it must fear the feet of those who tread upon it, and it must offer itself as nourishment to those who may need it. But yet it continues to grow, protected by the elements of chance that it will become a fully mature plant.

The roots symbolize your planet. You have areas of fertile ground, which offer good homestead for your families. As the plant grows, you can see it is merely a development of its seed. It is not miraculous that it grows; growth is merely part of its make-up. The shape of growth, however, the bend of the stem, the number of its leaves, its color and its fruit, however, symbolize the many aspects we must understand in the makeup of your people.

Consider the stem to be your body. You have been placed on this planet and you must grow. As you reach out, you begin to express yourself in the culture that you have been planted in. Yet, within you feel a need to stretch one way and seek sunlight in another. This is the value I express in this analogy. Plants search for sun; you search for truth. As all plants search for sun, all men search for truth. This truth-seeking nature is indeed one which sources itself from spiritual fertilization.

The value-system is intertwined with your own capacity to interpret the will of God within you. Indeed it is a fine line between the inherent capacities of your genetic make up and the spiritual capacities of your worshipful nature. Values are not totally spiritual as a result. Yet within them is a fragment of superimposed manifestations of God's potential for you.

Many men do not allow these emotions to be felt.

If you were to forbid or in any way dishonor one's interest, or curiosity, in exploring what it is you offer, then others may be lost. Do not bar doors. When we speak of love, we intend for love to be heard clearly, resonating, in your hearts, so that others may be attracted. If you were to convey disregard for others' interest in this love, it would be unpardonable, for this is why we are here. Mention not to others of your concern of their entering your group. Mention only your willingness to welcome and participate with all who wish to bask in God's love. Our Father commands this. It is your responsibility as a willing participant, in this, the Teaching Mission. Therefore, allow for others to be advised of your progress. We are pleased with the progress we have seen in your group.

Ellen: At the beginning of that transmission I saw images of great beauty and power. I saw myself on the edge of a cliff looking over an extraordinary region of land -- the wind blowing, a clear blue sky above. I was a Native American, in a ritual outfit, a warrior, and in the vision I leapt off the cliff and become an eagle soaring out, and then returning. Then I was human again. Then an image of a horse arose, in white clouds. It was suddenly right upon me. Power filled me as the horse rushed over the top of me. He left behind, in his wake, a sparkly dust, and as the dust hit me I was overwhelmed with the fact of a love that came through me. Then the horse came to a mountain. Now it becomes an immense and very powerful white figure at the top of the mountain, ready to speak, and at the base of the mountain are all the Teachers. During the transmission Michael is at the top of the mountain and the Teachers are at the bottom. I also felt that there was a wire hoop or ring, going up the mountain perimeter, and then I felt it going through the group. Every time it passed around, I would get a new word. The ring was like an exotic metal, very light and strong with three knobs on it, which were cylindrical. (Account edited)]

Truth exists only in your heart my son.

I am here to resurrect the Spirit of Truth in those who wish to seek. I will assist any and all who are willing to respond to my call. When you confront those who view me as the Christ, you may acknowledge their right to see me in this light, and continue then to assure them of my love for them. Do not be dismayed at those who may wish to chastise or criticize your well-founded truth in my arrival. Many are afraid and will not come forward for they fear my wrath. As you speak, [I also] search for ways to reach those who are in fear. Will you join.....to assist those who cannot perceive the gifts [inaudible]? When you speak I echo your concern, and walk with you in your prayer.

S: It is hard for me to find the correct--well, not the correct, but the most precise words to use so I hope you will be patient with me in formulating this question. As I walk torough my life, each person that I see I try to love them to the best of my ability and see the image of God in each person--and sometimes it is more difficult with some people than others. And I find with a certain type of person, a person I believe, I perceive, to be afraid, I become angry at their inability at that time to be able to receive the love that I have to offer them. I feel that this is a mistake on my part and I would like guidance to know how to fully open my heart to people and give them the love that I have without demanding or expecting anything in return or feeling hurt when they are not able to receive it. I would appreciate any guidance you have to offer me on this matter.

At this level I often experience much frustration with those who I wish to help, but are unprepared or unrevealed in the gifts that love can offer. I am instructed however to exercise much forgiveness in this experience....For those who are in pain, in turmoil -- those who are stuck in fear -- truly deserve much more unconditional love and forgiveness, for they require healing beyond those who have already accepted and learned the ways of love. I am also advised to speak [end of side one of tape]....I am free to say at this time that self-forgiveness facilitates healing. Embrace your own spirit, then continue to love others, as it should be.

B: A dangling item is the question of what, teachers, is the role of the Urantia Book in the Teaching Mission? I have become confused because of a statement that was printed somewhere that the book is not necessarily central or even germane to the TM. Is there anything that you might say to help me in my confusion over that -- either now or later?

S: My intent has been and will always be, to serve God and follow his--to do God's will and follow his commandments. You may sense in me confusion as to my perception of who you are and my absolute determination to follow only the person I know as Christ or Jesus or Michael. My confusion after all these years of who people told me that Jesus is and my determination to only be true to the true son of God. I ask that you help me understand your relationship to that person that was Jesus and also help me understand--I'll say it again. I pledge myself body, soul and spirit to God and the true Son of God. I have heard so many different stories for so long, about who Jesus is, that I have never been able to completely pledge myself to the idea that people have of Jesus, I would ask your help in this matter.
