This congregation of believers from [[Pittsburgh TeaM|Pittsburgh]], [[Buffalo TeaM|Buffalo]], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toronto,_Canada Toronto], [[Indianapolis TeaM|Indianapolis]] and [[Hamilton TeaM|Hamilton]], met to fellowship and partake of the [[Remembrance Supper]] in honor of the birthday anniversary of [[Jesus]]. The Teacher Session was begun with this [[reading]] from [the transmission of] August 11:

JESUS: I am Jesus. I would like to visit with you for a [[moment]]. I know that this is a [[surprise]] to you, that you were [[expecting]] your teachers, but I am your Teacher also, and I am not reluctant to bring My [[presence]] into your environment when I feel you would benefit from My personal [[embrace]].

It has been such a [[challenge]]! Those of us who work with you in this [[Teaching Mission]], who are devoted to those precepts as set out in The [[Urantia Book]], have our work cut out for us. It would not take much [[imagination]] to understand all of the [[political]] ramifications of that remark!

It is also [[wonderful]] to [[observe]] and to some extent [[participate]] in the wonderful flowering of aspects of [[Correcting Time]] that are not focused on or limited to the [[Teaching Mission]]. The wonderful outpouring, the spirit [[renaissance]] that is taking place as a result of the [[circuits]] opening, has been like attending a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renaissance_fair Renaissance Fair], with the flowers strewn around, the pipes playing and the children laughing and [[dancing]]. What a [[joy]] to behold, from our [[standpoint]]. Rejoice with your brothers and sisters in the [[unfolding]] of the new dispensation.

MERIUM: And I am Merium. I am also here to [[embrace]] you and to welcome you together. We have spent much time of late working on the [[concept]] of [[community]] and it is so gratifying to behold a [[community]] gathering in [[love]] of [[Michael]]. It is interesting: all of you individualists who can merge and conjoin by allowing the [[love]] of [[the Father]] to unite you. What a [[victory]]!

TOMAS: I do not want you to make the mistake of [[thinking]] that my philosophy denies human [[suffering]]. I am not saying that the [[effects]] and miseries of [[humanity]] are not real. Indeed they are very real, in particular for those of you who are in the [[human condition]]. It is still true, however, that the [[spirit]] is the answer to all these ills, and yet, unless and until the [[individual]] turns wholeheartedly to the Lord of Hosts for his [[salvation]], he will remain a [[victim]] of his own will and, in some aspects, the [[victim]] of that by-gone era of [[Lucifer]]'s reign.

There are many, many people who have [suffered] and continue to suffer on [[Urantia]]. It is not for you to portray yourself as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollyanna Pollyanna] that denies that these things exist. Remember that [[the Master]]'s association with those who suffer never robbed him of his [[compassion]] for them. It is very real to those in it.

Elyssia: Recently we heard that our [[DNA]] is being changed, according to one of [[Allene Vick]]'s printing of the message, and I wanted to ask more questions about it. Is it possible that our genetic pre-dispositions to things like alcoholism could be changed?
