Student; JarEl, I would like to know if [[conferences]] like the [[IC99]], are being used by the [[celestials]] to plant [[seeds]] and to administer to the gathering or if there is any overall [[effect]] in general.

JarEl; Actually it will have a tremendous effect. It is very [[difficult]] to [[discern]] immediate results, aside from the fact that tremendous numbers of people get to [[connect]] with each other, to [[share]] thoughts and [[ideas]], get to re-bond and re-organize [[relationships]]. In particular of these brotherhood conferences and the most recent to cite there was a particular [[intention]] to respect the [[differences]] of [[opinions]] and agendas within the Urantia based [[community]] and society at large. There are also seeds planted both between yourselves as well as from within. These have long term [[repercussions]] for [[Urantia]].

Student; You started the lesson with '[[creativity]]' as a means of knowing. Is there anyway you can enlarge upon that, how the [[individual]] can use creativity; to have this [[feeling]] of knowing [[the Father]].

===='''''[[Stillness]]'''''====
 
JarEl; Actually, I referred to [[creativity]] as a way to [[access]] [[the Father]]. My implication is that there is no one [[path]] to [[the Father]]. The paths are as numerous as [[individuals]] approaching the Father. The Father helps create a way in which he can be [[accessed]]. We use the term [[stillness]] in our teaching lessons, because it helps to portray the actual condition of [[mind]] to receive [[the Father]]. For example, think of the Father as pure melted snow [[water]]. It is [[vital]], nourishing, it is crystal [[clear]]. Now think of yourself as water, which is not necessarily of this [[quality]], so to [[become]] like God, you cannot hold up a cup of unclean water. It is best to empty the cup, so to speak, and let God fill you with this pure, clear, nourishing, fresh melted snow water.
