Betty: He will be glad to hear that. There is a woman by the name of [[Stella Religa|Stella]] who lives in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whittier,_California Whittier]. I somehow feel drawn to tell her what's going on and [[invite]] her join our group. Would you comment on that? She's a [[Urantia book]] [[reader]], and quite a [[wonderful]] woman.

Aflana: Your [[perceptions]] of this person are correct. We see them [[smiling]]. Their [[heart]] is open to you. You may use this [[association]] to impart [[the Father]]'s [[love]]. They [[reflect]] from you to her; [[share]] the teachings from the [[personal]] [[perspective]]. I feel this will do much to draw her near.

Aflana: The presence of God is with you.
Aflana: The [[presence]] of [[God]] is with you. The [[love]] of God [[protects]] you. The [[power]] of God sustains you. [[Praise]] to God.
Aflana:???? Your are doing well in seeking the [[Stillness]]. It is (important) for you to do so. For in this [[quiet]] time you are [[aligned]] and [[adjusted]] by [[the Father]] (?). So you must seek the [[Stillness]] daily. We can not impress on you how important it is to seek [[commune]] with the [[First Source and Center]]. He desires (?) to [[share]] with you (?). [[Rejoice]] in the [[progress]] you are making today. It is through your own [[dedication]] that God has granted you [[peace]] and [[understanding]]; love--brotherly and sisterly. This is not a lesson per se. When all that we speak has [[value]]. In time you will know these [[truths]] among other things.

Doug: Why do I feel physical sensations?
Doug: Why do I feel [[physical]] [[sensations]]?
Aflana: It is natural for some transmitters. More of their electrical processes are involved in transmitting and receiving. These processes involve the heart and respiratory systems. So, these things fluctuate, and being material they create physical sensations to a degree. Do not be dismayed or overly concerned. Do these sensations frighten you?

Aflana: The degree of ease vary from time to time. As we speak through you, perhaps you experience difficult because your consciousness is not fully set aside. So for now your consciousness is talking between our messages and your thoughts. Do you understand?

Doug: Yes. And thank you. I will try to still my mind and set my consciousness aside for you. I was trying this way tonight as an experiment. I don't think it is working.
