===Dialogue===
Signa: My dear friends, this is Signa encouragement from Signa. I thank you for the opportunity of speaking with you this evening...to be continually brought into contact with believers in different parts of your great country. I find it moving and joyous to see the Teaching Mission continue to spread. You have available to you two fine and wonderful teachers [Tarkas and Olfana] who can help you grow in your spirit selves, for truly the Teaching Mission exists in a spiritual realm, and it is our intention to assist you in your spiritual growth through our lessons. Our lessons are primarily developed by Prince Machiventa Lessons developed by Machiventa, and then adjusted for your particular group. It is for you, but for the asking, that your teachers present you with enlarged truth, enlarged understanding, and a greater sensitivity to values. Each person grows at his or her own rate. Do not be discouraged to see your fellows move forward, while you seem to languish. For it is only an outward show, that has nothing to do with the inward up-striving of your embryonic soul. You each have a light Lighteach have one that shines quite bright, that is easy, for those who can discern spirit presence, to see. If only you could see that within yourself, you would have less fear, and a greater knowing and understanding that the Heavenly Father is forever at your side, not only in the personages of many spirit beings, but actually resident within you, as a fragment of his glorious self. Be of good cheer as you embark upon this process. Be ever open to new ways of looking at reality. Be ever concerned for the plight of your brother or sister, and be always willing to share the light of truth that you most certainly possess. I appreciate our time together. If you wish to ask a question or two of me, I would be honored to answer.

Each person grows at his or her own [[rate]]. Do not be discouraged to see your fellows move forward, while you seem to languish. For it is only an outward show, that has nothing to do with the inward up-striving of your [[embryonic]] [[soul]]. You each have a [[light]] that shines quite bright, that is easy, for those who can [[discern]] spirit [[presence]], to see. If only you could see that within yourself, you would have less [[fear]], and a greater knowing and [[understanding]] that the [[Heavenly Father]] is forever at your side, not only in the personages of many [[spirit]] [[beings]], but actually resident within you, as a [[Thought Adjuster|fragment]] of his [[glorious]] self.

Signa: It is common for all [[groups]], for all members, to have made a [[dedication]] to attend a group, to be with a group, on a continuing and regular basis. It is also [[necessary]] to have a Teaching Mission instructions to (the) group [[TR|Transmitter-Receiver]] who is willing to undertake this [[responsibility]]. J undertook this responsibility of teaching our class with a full [[knowledge]] of the time [[commitment]] that would be made. He also was aware of the continued [[problem]] of [[doubt]]. It is a forever part of the [[transmitting-receiving]] system. We are not able to eradicate [[doubt]] in the part of the Teaching Mission  for many reasons, not the least of which would be interfering with their freewill [[choice]]. Your Transmitter-Receiver must be willing to [[function]] within that [[scope]]. You have a Transmitter-Receiver available, you have two teachers who are available. Begin! Does that answer your [[question]]?

Signa: If you were learning to be a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surgeon surgeon], on your first day of [[school]] you would not be issued a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalpel scalpel] ([[laughter]]). Neither on the first day of school would you be [[expected]] to go out and begin turning [[souls]] to [[the Father]]. There is a [[preparation]] time. It is one to be [[patient]], it is one to be [[dedicated]], it is one to be open to [[learning]]. That is not to say that you should interrupt your [[normal]] [[flow]] of spreading the [[light]] of [[truth]] that you know. It is just that you will be learning a higher way, a better way of reaching your [[brothers and sisters]]. You must seek the [[stillness]] in your life. It must become a [[habit]] for you. It is difficult for it to become a habit. It is difficult for the [[mortal]] human to set aside even a few moments a day to spend with your [[heavenly Father]]. But do not you wish that your Heavenly Father was your closest [[friend]]? And if you should wish that, then would not it be [[logical]] that you must spend time with your closest [[friend]]? You would in a [[human]] sense. You may call upon him at any [[moment]] in your day. It makes no [[difference]] to Him. He is always waiting to [[listen]] to you, and to speak to you his loving words of [[comfort]].

D: Part of the [[problem]] that I have with this, is that the way that I have been [[interpreting]] some of the teachings, it seems like this is something new, and to me it's not new at all. I mean, this has been something that I've been striving for in my life for many years--this [[idea]] of [[being]] a [[light]], and drawing others. I just don't quite [[understand]] how this is [[different]].

Have you not experienced growing pains before? Pleasant experiences with this process are indeed appropriate, but allow for the challenge also! Much good can come from reaching past the easy efforts. Extend yourselves in faith and then wait with expectation to see what comes from God to you. Always remember, you are adventurers. You are pioneers, as Signa has said.

It seems to be getting worse...the big issues in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somalia Somalia], the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_East Middle East], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bosnia Yugoslavia], and then all the natural disasters we've had--it seems so many in such a rapid amount of [[time]]. I work in the inner [[city]] and I see so much [[poverty]] and [[violence]] and the despair of people. Sometimes I feel just so overwhelmed with it all...and yet at the same time I feel very [[hopeful]] because I personally know and have [[experienced]] the [[hope]] and the [[faith]] of better things and the [[understanding]] of the spiritual life. But when I think of my [[brothers and sisters]] that don't have that, that have to live in the [[darkness]], and the [[pain]] every day, my [[heart]] just goes to them. I think, "What keeps them from going nuts?"

Signa: They are waiting to hear the [[light]] of [[truth]]--to [[understand]] that there is more to life than just the [[physical]] [[nature]], the physical [[surroundings]]. Several weeks ago, Prince [[Machiventa]] made the [[announcement]] at our group that there now exists another spirit active on [[the planet]], and it has been here for approximately seven years. It is the Spirit of Peace sent by Michael. He, as you know, was known as the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_of_Peace Prince of Peace], and while he has sent his [[Spirit of Truth]] to help you to [[understand]] his [[nature]], he has now sent the ''Spirit of Peace'' to help brother to stop fighting against brother. But in all cases as there is [[transition]] from one time to a new time, there is [[chaos]] of some [[degree]]. You are now experiencing the chaos of [[change]], and this chaos will go on now for some time. But take [[heart]]! It is the [[evidence]] of great [[change]] that is occurring. If you were to have a very stable [[society]], as you had a number of years ago, with great powers on one side or the other, waiting to do each other harm--that is an untenable situation. That has now changed, and it is through this change that man will see the [[future]], and see and understand that you have but one world to live upon, and it is important to live as [[brothers and sisters]], so that all may be brought to the [[Heavenly Father]]. As [[your planet]] grows toward the age of [[Light and Life]], you may [[wonder]], "How does that occur?" It is not by [[magic]]. It is not by [[Deity]] granting by [[fiat]] some new and finer order of life. No, it is not. It is by the personal and [[individual]] [[struggles]] of each human being growing toward [[Light and Life]], of each human being finding that sphere of Light and Life within their own [[hearts]]. And as each [[individual]] is brought into the [[Kingdom of God]], at a point in the [[future]], something akin to "[[critical mass]]" will occur, and [[the planet]] will be initiated into the first [[phase]] of Light and Life. But it is [[conquering]] that you must do, it is a winning of your planet for [[Michael]]. That is who we work for; that is who is the recipient of this great [[honor]] of bringing his planet back into the fold of [[local universe]] planets, and creating an environment where [[Light and Life]] can thrive. It is an [[individual]] effort on each human being's [part.] It is not something that is done by [[governments]], or [[military]] armies. Each human being must [[accept]] [[the Father]] within their own [[heart]], and learn to live as [[brother and sister]] among each other. Does that help you?

The Teaching Mission found a relatively easy home within the Urantia movement, since you have been instructed in the existence of the planetary governments, the local universe, the existence of Paradise, and the Father's abode there. And you have been instructed of much that occurs within your local universe in the training of the mortal mind to ascend toward the Father. It is easy for you to make the leap of faith, to begin to believe that we are now also in contact with you personally.

Signa: There is a great yearning on the part of humanity to have spiritual truth brought to them. It shows itself in many different ways. Within the Catholic religion, it appears as if a vision of the Virgin Mary is a symbol that they wish to see, and it is a form of wish fulfillment that the personage of Mary, the earth mother of Jesus, is seen. It is not appropriate for any spiritual being to appear before the humans of the planet so that they are worshiped, for truly the worship urge should be directed toward the Father. It would not be appropriate for any spiritual being to place themselves in such a position.

Olfana: Let us give you a lesson on cheerfulness. Cheerfulness comes easily when one remembers one's [[destiny]] is Godward. "Be of Good Cheer" is an [[encouragement]] to exist with God in your every [[effort]] in life. Cheerfulness can be infectious. It spreads [[enthusiasm]] for life from one to another. People need this powerful ingredient in their life. We [[weep]] to see those whose lives lack all cheer, or [[hope]] of [[God]]'s [[comfort]].

Reestablish your faith in the power of God's [[love]] to envelop you and raise your [[emotional]] [[balance]], so that you can take with [[equanimity]] the [[experiences]] of life. Exuberance, the [[energy]] of God, life's [[vital]] force, [[flowing]] through your [[actions]], is testimony of a cheerful nature. Greet the day with cheerful [[thoughts]], such as: "My Father loves me." "[[Blessings]] come to me with ease." "I make my life a [[demonstration]] of God's power to [[heal]]." "[[Angels]] work with me in my every endeavor." "Christ [[Michael]] walks with me and [[guides]] my every step." "Lessons of [[love]] will come to me this day." "Angels are my [[friends]] in today's [[experiences]]." All these [[statements]]--[[thoughts]]--give one a thematic approach to one's life. The theme is: "I am God's Child, cheered by his great [[love]] for me, and all my [[brothers and sisters]]." We grow [[wise]] by extending ourselves into the world with [[faith]].
