Anyway, after they'd been [[married]] for a year or two, she began to decline in her [[health]]. He's now 93 and she is 76 or 77 now, and she has just really been very [[ill]] over the last 4 or 5 years. Actually, he's in better shape than she is.

The sad part is that her side of the [[family]], her [[children]], are not very [[supportive]] of her at all. They live in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muncie,_Indiana Muncie] and of course we're here in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indianapolis,_Indiana Indianapolis]; but they don't come to see her. They have never done anything to help defray her costs. She was in a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nursing_home nursing home] until they kicked her out because her son, who had [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_of_attorney power of attorney], was taking her [[money]]. It's a long, sad [[story]].

So she wound up back at my grandfather's house, really needing [[care]] and [[therapy]], and that sort of thing; and it fell upon my [[father]] and his [[brothers]] and whatever grandchildren were willing to help just to take [[care]] of her. She has a [[history]], I guess, of being a [[manipulative]] person in her life, sort of grasping and using and that sort of thing. She turned a lot of us off over the years because of the way she [[manipulated]] my grandfather and different people in the [[family]].

W: The more you [[share]] this [[love]], the more you will look forward to [[sharing]] it. That, too, is a fact of [[universe]] [[experience]]. Take heed in what I say; for when you do [[share]] His [[love]] with another, you [[feel]] [[good]]. Do you all not like [[feeling]] good? It does not require great [[acts]] of [[kindness]]. It requires a [[sincere]] and [[concentrated]] [[mind]] and [[heart]] to do the best that you can in [[sharing]] this [[love]].

L: I've talked about this very briefly before because I've asked you to [[pray]] for this person. Like Bob, I'm not very [[emotional]]; I find it [[difficult]] to feel deeply with any real deep emotional [[content]]. And so something [[surprised]] the heck out of me [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_eve Christmas Eve] when I met a person who was [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_illness terminally ill] with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancer cancer]. I looked into his eyes, and I have never been so moved by an [[individual]] in my life. It was as though I was looking at his [[soul]], and his soul was in [[agony]]. I knew he had a great [[physical]] [[pain]]; I could tell because he couldn't walk very well. But it was the [[face]]; it was something in his eyes that just got me so upset.

I went home and I [[immediately]] started [[praying]], not so much for a [[physical]] [[cure]], but I couldn't stand that look in his eyes. I prayed to [[Michael]], and I felt this very strong surge of [[love]] for this [[person]]; I wanted to do something to help him. So I started praying, and I've prayed for him every day since. He was [[supposed]] to have been [[dead]], actually, by [[Christmas]]; that's what the [[doctors]] thought.  He's still going, and he went back to work last week. I don't know his physical..I know he's better. They've taken him off some [[medications]]. But I think what moved me was, after some time of doing this on a regular basis, and there are others who have [[prayed]] too, I got news that he said for the first time in his life, he was beginning to [[feel]] that [[God]] [[loved]] him. He [[thought]] that this [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancer cancer] was [[punishment]] from [[God]], and he thought that he deserved it. He has turned around mentally and [[emotionally]] and [[spiritually]]. He actually said "I really [[feel]] that [[God]] loves me, for the first time." And so it's getting through to him, this love is getting through to him.  And I never felt like I did that to anyone or for anyone before. So that makes me very [[happy]].

W: To a [[degree]], when you [[experience]] this in your lives, you can [[understand]] what our [[Creator Son|creator]], [[Michael]], [[experienced]] on a regular basis.  He, too, was able to see into the [[soul]] and [[understand]] the real need of the [[individual]]. This, with [[practice]], can be accomplished by all of you. It, however, necessitates [[feeling]] and [[expressing]] [[love]].  You will be great helpers if you are able to look into the eyes and see the [[soul]]. There is nothing [[mystical]] about this, my [[friends]]. You all have souls. Some are [[morontializing]] faster than others. But everyone who walks [[this planet]] has a [[soul]]. Look for it, hear it, love it, and whenever you can, help it.

G: Well, one [[experience]] I can recall was in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1978 1978]. I was in the [[hospital]] in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenfield,_Indiana Greenfield]; and I was very sick. I had [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pancreaitis pancreatitis]. My aunt, who at that time was in her 80s came over from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohio Ohio] to see me. She was a very [[spiritual]] [[person]]. When she came up to my room, she took my hand and [[prayed]] for me out loud there in the [[hospital]]. When she did this, I had this [[feeling]] of [[God]]'s [[love]]; and it was something greater than I had [[experienced]]. I knew at that time that I was going to get better; and I did. I [[think]] it was because of her [[prayer]] that I did so.

"[[Love]] is the unifying [[force]] of [[the universe]]. It is the glue that holds the [[planets]] in [[orbit]] and holds the [[cells]] of our bodies intact in the most stupendous way, all the result of [[love]]. Love is no respecter of persons. We [[humans]] do not create love. Love already exists throughout [[the universe]]. The most we can do is [[express]] it. Some people have more [[ability]] to express love. Our unifying [[force]] lies somewhat [[dormant]] within us, and at times we are able to [[permit]] by our own will to be a [[channel]] for this [[love]] to [[flow]] through us.

W: Interesting to note, for I have witnessed this many times. This word "[[control]]". I will tell you this. To the extent or [[degree]] that you [[express]] God's love is in [[direct]] relation to the extent that you are in [[control]] of your life. Those who believe they are in [[control]] and do not express the love of the Father have deluded themselves. It is in this [[delusion]] that [[hate]], [[greed]], and all other undesirable characteristics [[manifest]] themselves.

B: When Welmek an [[experience]] when you felt [[God]]'s [[love]], there was no [[doubt]] in my [[mind]] when that was. About 25 years ago, a long time ago, like Toni, I never [[doubted]] [[the Father]]'s love. It was always there.  My [[mother]] used to accuse me of going through life with rose-colored glasses. I was accused of being a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollyanna Pollyanna] when I was kid.  I was an adult with children, and I had a [[dream]]. The contents of the dream are not important except that I was in [[communication]] with some part of [[God]] and I was being given a real active gift of God's love. I was sobbing. And I [[woke]] up, and I was sobbing. And the room was full of this pouring golden [[light]]. It was so [[beautiful]]. For all the rest of that night and for many weeks afterwards, God's love was like a [[physical]] cloak around me, that I could [[touch]].  And it's still there. It's not as primal in my [[consciousness]] as it was at that time, but it's true, I [[literally]] live in His love. It's always around me and it's always there. I can put my [[metaphorical]] or spiritual arms out and gather it up and either wrap it around me in a [[difficult]] situation or reach out mentally and wrap it around someone I love or want to love or even a whole group of people. In any situation, it's always, always there.

W: It is an [[energy]] that is felt. It is that which fortifies your very [[being]]. As you [[progress]] in your [[understanding]] and [[expression]] of this [[love]], you will begin to [[experience]] this [[fortification]]. You will not tire so easily, you will feel [[renewed]], you will feel as though you cannot hold this love in. You will seek out [[opportunities]] of [[expression]] through wise [[discretion]]. It is the most thrilling universe [[experience]] any one of us can possibly have.

B: Welmek, I have a purely [[scientific]] question. When we look out into the [[sky]] with, not just with our eyes, but with our [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_telescope radio telescopes] and like that, are we seeing just our [[local universe]] or are we able to see beyond it?

D: These three [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NCAA_basketball basketball NCAA] coaches were traveling on an airline, and they crashed. They went up to [[heaven]] and went to meet [[God]].

M: I have a [[question]]. I'm trying to remember the [[context]]. A couple of weeks ago when we all stood and [[projected]] our [[love]] towards Cheryl while she was in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Childbirth labor], and it was sort of a beginning for us for directing our [[love]] and you guys utilizing our [[energy]]. I believe, I'm trying to [[read]] through the [[transcript]] real quickly, but the [[impression]] I have is that you said or Andrea said that our group was going to be [[tuned]] so that we could work better at directing this [[energy]]. Actually, Linda and I were [[discussing]] it; and I was wondering how is this tuning going to go about? Will our [[attunement]] to one another occur as a result of our [[growth]] in spiritual [[values]] or will our attunement be done on a more [[physical]] level? What did you mean by attunement?

W: Primarily, on a [[spiritual]] level, and this all centers on the [[expression]] of [[love]]. The more you [[practice]], the better you [[demonstrate]] these [[abilities]] and [[manifest]] them in your daily life, the more "tuned" this group will become in [[projecting]] spiritual [[energy]], or [[love]], to others who are in need.

W: We already have had a few. Each [[group]] has a teacher with a specific [[agenda]]. While the spiritual [[content]] of our [[messages]] should be complete and replete within the groups, there are certain aspects of instruction and [[experimentation]] that are allowed to exist; and it is not my [[desire]] to experiment in the [[visualization]] arena perhaps as aggressively as other [[teachers]]. You are only beginning to [[understand]] the [[direction]] in which I am inclined to [[lead]] us.

M: Getting back to what we were talking about a second ago, when you say [[attunement]], I think of being "in tune" as in [[harmony]]. The [[analogy]] that came to my mind..well, on my job, I work in the operating room; and there are usually about four people with different [[educational]] backgrounds, different [[experiences]], coming [[together]] to achieve a certain [[goal]], which is to get some person through some [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surgery surgery]. We all might be [[different]] in different ways and have a different approach. Even the [[work]] that we do in the room is [[different]], yet it's interrelated.

Somehow that seems to me to make sense as far as our [[group]] is concerned. We might not all be the same, but because we have a [[unity]] of [[purpose]], so to speak, or will have a unity of purposes in these kind of things, more or less our [[efforts]] will be [[harmonious]] even though we're coming from different backgrounds or different [[directions]]. Is that what you're wanting us to do, or am I [[thinking]] a little off the track here?

Thank you once again for this [[opportunity]] of [[service]]. I will now turn this over to one greater than I.

GABRIEL: Good evening, Urantians, [[brothers and sisters]], [[citizens]] of the universe of [[Nebadon]], children of [[Michael]]. This is Gabriel, his assistant. I wanted to [[share]] just a brief [[message]] with you. From the reports that I have been given, it has been noted that you are [[sincere]] of [[heart]] and wanting to help in [[this mission]] of ours, to [[heal]] [[the planet]], to mend the [[wounds]] of the [[souls]] of the [[citizens]] of [[this world]], to reach to [[the Father]] and express your [[desire]] to serve Him, to be like Him, to [[dedicate]] your lives to His will. It has been noted. You are on [[record]] within our [[universe]] for which I am responsible. I [[wish]] to extend my personal [[gratitude]] to each one of you in your [[efforts]]. I wish to extend my personal [[love]] to each one of you. And I wish to, once again, bring you a [[message]] from he who is greater than I, [[Michael]].
