Good evening, my dear friends. This is Tarkas. It is truly gratifying to see such a large gathering this evening. We have much to discuss this evening. And we have Bakim and her artisans feverishly preparing a [[gallery]] of what they hope to be [[illuminating]] and [[beautiful]] works for you to see. It will be a grand [[experiment]] to see if we can interlock all of the loving energies into a visualization. It should be quite interesting for you all.

I do have brief remarks this evening before we begin, before our artistic portion of the evening, in order to reiterate a few of the basic [[tenets]] of the [[Teaching Mission]].

We do not, in [[fact]], seek to divide you with your [[Thought Adjuster]]. Rather we emphasize strongly that this is your ultimate connection to the Father's Indwelling Spirit in the Thought Adjuster, and the [[Spirit of Truth]], as well. If in our [[language]] we say that we are closer to you, this only means in terms of comprehension of our [[presence]]. It is difficult for most [[mortal]]s to reach the deep spiritual inner contact which they so desire. But through our [[morontia]] personalities who are much closer to you, we are able to facilitate this contact and we are quite pleased and overjoyed to do so. Your connection with the heavenly Father is, indeed, the supreme connection.

It has been said that we do not use [[Midwayers]] in the process. But, indeed we do, and they are quite valuable in many aspects including the downstepping of highly purified spiritual energies of such intensity that they must be downstepped for your [[presence]].

I would say further that we have been perceived as a problem in attracting new readers to the [[Urantia Book]]. Since the [[method]] of transmission in so-called [[channeling]], our critics would say that this is a somewhat nefarious practice associated with [[new age]] [[mysticism]]. I say to you that there is error in new age mysticism, error in [[perception]], just as there are errors of perception in the Holy [[Bible]]. But we must stress the commonalties in the considerable [[truth]] that we find in the Bible, in the Urantia Book, and in many other works of impact that are even now coming upon your scene.

Do not limit yourself at all. Do not limit yourselves to these sessions in hopes that I will bring you great nuggets of wisdom which will suffice in your life. Continue to explore new topics and new subjects. We are not afraid of new ideas even though some may not hold more than a partial truth. We can build upon that truth and we have faith in each of you, our students and citizens of this world, to learn to attune yourselves to the Indwelling Spirit, to the Spirit of Truth, to your Thought Adjuster, and, yes, also to us as we seek to guide you in the spiritual light.

Expand your realm of [[knowledge]]. There is much happening and exploding in this world. It is truly a massive spiritual reawakening that must not be limited to those who would stagnate with the publication of the Bible or the publication of the Urantia Book. The world has changed since the 1930's, since the 1950's and is changing rapidly around you now. You observe these [[things]].

HUMAN: I have a nagging question. If I don't ask it now I will probably forget to ask it later. When I was in Hawaii, I felt really connected with the [[dolphins]] and the [[whales]]. In this [[book]] I was reading, the [[author]] had mentioned that the dolphins and whales are [[Midwayers]]. You were saying earlier how the Midwayers help prepare vibrational energies, helping those energies to come to our level so we can receive them. Is it true?

TARKAS: These highly advanced creatures are not actually Midwayers but they are strongly influenced and, in a sense, more accurately, they are full fledged collaborators with the Midwayers. Saying that they are subjected entirely to Midwayers' directions would be not giving these [[beautiful]], intelligent [[creatures]] their full due. In their [[collaboration]] they are quite more intelligent than before imagined. Has this answered your question?

===='''''[[Urantia Book]]'''''====
TARKAS: Each living creature has its own mission and life and whales and fishes are much different than your own, but no less valid than your own life [[experience]]. The Midwayers exist in a [[dimension]] which is somewhat overlayered with yours and is difficult to explain in time and space language. They are here as co-residents of your world in this separate dimension of their own [[society]] and have functioned quite faithfully and fruitfully for many generations. I can say no more about Midwayers but there is a great deal of material in the [[Urantia Book]] on this subject.

I would encourage all of you to read a little portion of the Urantia Book each day. It is truly the most advanced [[text]] that you have of many, although we have discussed many other worthwhile books, of course. Others and I have encouraged you to pick and choose among the new offerings which are coming on-stream and choose fields of which you have an interest and explore new [[thoughts]]. You will find artistic expressions of various kinds in addition to the hard businesses of medicine and [[law]] and government. We will hope to add our spiritualizing influence in much greater intensity in the future.

===='''''[[Transmitting]]'''''====
 
We also had a [[criticism]] that the transmitting process is somewhat like [[channeling]] in seance sessions which many have used and abused. They were used as scams. In the first place, the transmission [[process]] is not a full [[trance]] process. The forerunners of this [[Correcting Time]], and there were a few, relied on full trance to transmit many beautiful lessons which have been the precursor to the [[Teaching Mission]] and have taken root with many, with relatively few I would say, spiritual seekers.

TARKAS: It is true that everyone in this room has been assigned a teacher and it is your task to make contact. We have repeated lessons on the stillness and with perseverance I think you will make contact. She is quite loving and anxious to work with you. She finds many good qualities which she believes would be a sharing of common interest.

We are working to project a name through your transmitter. Exact names and numbers sometimes require a bit of repetitive . .....The names are a bit difficult sometimes because we are working with [[sound]] and [[waves]] and vibratory elements as opposed to a [[language]] with hard and fast [[words]]. Sometimes we stumble over spelling and pronunciation . .... Jonella is your teacher.

I ask now that we have a [[moment]] or two of quiet with one or two to facilitate the [[focus]]ing and [[relaxation]] [[process]]. Only for this reason: we have selected a song which we hope will be relaxing and allow you to chuck aside all these heavy thoughts and ideas I have presented and to do what is more important than learning or [[thinking]] sometimes, pure relaxation and opening to the [[Holy Spirit]] inside each of you. Tonight we have many [[friends]] here who want to share your [[love]].

You continue to need work and relaxation and the budgeting of time for this few minutes of stillness which you owe the Father.

If you want to contact your spirit guide, then you must learn relaxation. This is not concentration, but this is release and being able to [[center]] your [[energy]]. As we sit in the [[stillness]] now, we feel the [[body]] in [[balance]]. One side must not be higher than the other, but you must be leveled and balanced. And to be able to see, almost with the middle eye.

In this relaxation, begin to feel a heaviness, sometimes [[breath]]ing is necessary to relax yourself into the heaviness. Then the body feels quite weightless after a few moments. Feel the quietness for a moment in the room.

Many would fear the quietness, and must have a constant rattle. The quietness is a [[power]]. You can almost hear the energies aligning. Begin to visualize, in your mind's eye, the energies that are vibrating inside your eyes. There is a darkness, but there is also [[vibration]]al [[light]], and energies which you can only catch in glimpses, but you know that they are there.

When you look for [[beauty]], you find beauty. When you look for [[goodness]] in your troubled world, you will find it.

   −
The great challenge to modern man is to achieve better [[communication]] with the [[divine Monitor]] that dwells within the [[human]] [[mind]]. Man's greatest [[adventure]] in the [[flesh]] consists in the well-[[balance]]d and sane effort to advance the borders of self-consciousness out through the dim realms of [[embryonic]] [[soul]]-consciousness in a wholehearted effort to reach the borderland of [[spirit]]-consciousness--contact with the [[divine]] [[presence]]. Such an experience constitutes [[God-consciousness]], an [[experience]] mightily confirmative of the pre-existent [[truth]] of the religious experience of knowing [[God]]. Such spirit-consciousness is the equivalent of the [[knowledge]] of the actuality of sonship with God. Otherwise, the assurance of sonship is the [[experience]] of '''faith'''.
