ABRAHAM: Yes, to a [[point]], not as much as when [[Michael]] walked the earth in material form, but yes, to some [[degree]]. This [[Teaching Mission]] will be [[recognized]] by [[mortals]] as a turning point in [[history]]. Another question?

ROLAND: I [[hate]] to take anymore time, but I would like to introduce to you Greg and Lisa, who is studying [[anthropology]] at the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Utah University of Utah] and are here as loving observers. If you have questions please feel free to ask them

ABRAHAM: Greetings and welcome. Please feel free to ask any [[questions]]. Anymore questions?

LISA: I'll ask a question. I am taking two classes actually. One class that I am taking is a [[environmental]] class and we study the problems of over [[population]], environmental degradation. I find it is very hard to come from [[love]] when there are people in the class who [[agree]] that these are problems but aren't willing to do anything about it. In one sentence they say over population is a [[problem]] but I am going to have eight kids. Its really [[frustrating]] and makes me very [[angry]]. I don't know how to come from love when dealing with that kind of situation.

ABRAHAM: Understood. The [[majority]] of [[the planet]] still follows a [[Old Testament|certain spiritual book]] that makes clear that Father has proclaimed [[Reproduction|multiply and be fruitful]].[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Genesis#Chapter_.1] It is popular to follow the [[heart]] and human fulfillment instead of what is best for [[the whole]]. They are unthinking of the whole when they subtract from the [[environment]] without thought to the [[repercussions]] it may have. These are not bad people. They are merely attempting to live life to the fullest. Those that appear to be uncaring about lessening the [[quality]] of life by over population are not concerned for [[the whole]] and somewhat disconnected to [[universe]] [[realities]]. Father also bestowed us with [[mind]] and intended for us to use it to our fullest capabilities. I say it is not wrong to not [[feel]] [[love]] for these individual. It is your [[passion]] for this subject that will tip the scales toward [[intelligent]] [[population]] of [[the planet]]. You are not alone in your [[thinking]]. [[Anger]] felt towards others [[attitudes]] only drives you to [[share]] with others your [[ideas]] and rule in favor of [[quality]] in life rather than [[quantity]]. Your [[feelings]] are quite natural and acceptable and not to feel bad about. Your [[passionate]] [[expression]] on this subject indeed sends [[waves]] of logical use of mind and [[practical]] use of the planet. Does this answer? (Yes, thank you.) Another question?

CALVIN: Abraham, if I understand the lesson correctly, let me put a scenario out. Somebody says, "oh, I can't stand that person over there. I [[hate]] this and that about the person." Whether or not the [[person]] deserves the comment or not, how do you [[change]] that from a non-love to using [[energy]] to swing that person over without [[becoming]] preachy or [[self-righteous]]?
