===Description===

We began with a [[prayer]] to [[Universal Father|Father]], [[Michael]] and [[Nebadonia|Mother]], indicating our willingness for anything (or nothing!) to be given, and asking that first and foremost, His will be done in this, as in all things. Almost [[immediately]] I saw in front of me seven [[pillar]]-like forms of [[light]] and [[color]], all of the same size, one beside the other in a line, equidistant from each other. One by one, as the transmission progressed, the images began to [[differentiate]] into more [[personal]] forms; their first order of business seemed to be to convey to us how they work [[together]], perhaps so that we might learn to work with each other in similar ways, and taking on a personal form makes it easier for us to relate to them and their [[messages]]. (TR note: [http://www.rcim.org/RCIM/Welcome.html Rob] had said there were 7 commissioners composed of 3 [[women]], 2 [[men]], and 2 who were non-finaliter recorders. The 5 finaliters spoke during this transmission.)

Each of the commissioners now step forward to identify their area of [[expertise]]. First is a female spokesperson, who refers to the [[experience]] of the commissioning, and how we can connect to that for [[strength]] and [[inspiration]]. "You have within you the energetic [[memory]] of being down on your knees in the tent, something that caused a very strong [[bond]] between all 36 of you to be formed. It will be really useful for those of you who go back in small [[groups]] to bring back the "[[feeling]] [[tones]]" of that experience. For some people, actually taking the kneeling position may be helpful, as certain [[body]] [[attitudes]] promote the recollection of what occurred. If you find yourself with an [[impulse]] to kneel, [[trust]] that feeling and do so, to connect quite easily to receive your [[blessing]]."

these commissions with the understanding that they do not have to be [[perfect]]--only [[sincere]]--and are [[expected]] to just do their best."

2nd: The next [[finaliter]] to speak is very venerable, like an old [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbot abbot] with a beard and staff. He is a source of strength like [[Van|Van the Steadfast]], with great and long experience. We can tap directly in to him to receive his strength if needed. (I could feel the immense [[respect]] they all had for him; he was the oldest of all of them, and had seen many many things come to pass on [[Urantia]]), He takes personal [[responsibility]] that the endeavor will not fail. The other commissioners look to him to hold the tent flaps down when the wind storms come. There is a certain sternness in his [[countenance]], but he is not critical.

3rd: The finaliter who follows is an expert in loving [[relationships]]. She is about the [[artistry]] of it, about [[fluidity]] of motion in interpersonal [[interactions]]. If you find yourself stuck in a difficult situation with individuals or within the group [[process]], she is the one who will help with the [[flow]] of [[energy]]. She is attentive to the one in a group who wants to be included in but is not. Her great delight is in finding the key that unlocks the human [[heart]] of each individual so that [[Michael]] may enter in. The notion of 'breaking open the heart' is more of a [[male]] approach, she comments; as a [[female]] she'd rather [[melt]] the heart.

4th: The finaliter is male, and in charge of [[organization]] and order, coordinating the movement or resources and specializing in work [[efficiency]]. He is a mastermind of the [[physical]] domain, and will have the most to do with planning the [[Dalamatia|New Dalamatia]]. He knows how to teach us to extract the greatest benefit from the least amount of [[effort]]. He says that there is a lot of wastage in human endeavor because there is not enough [[focus]] toward the [[goal]]. He is definitely a no-nonsense kind of guy. He tells us that we have the [[responsibility]] of [[preparedness]]. It will reduce the time [[factor]] and effort factor in half if all those who come to him for aid are ready with plans, blueprints, specific thought out questions before coming to him for [[guidance]]. He is the celestial equivalent of the head of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Army_Corps_of_Engineers Army Corps of Engineers].

There is a weak spot in terms of the [[group]]: It has a high [[energy]], but it is an energy that must be tamed, in the sense of [[channeled]] correctly. There will be several individuals who will try to insert their personal [[ego]]-will in unbalanced ways. Dealing with that will be part of the [[process]] of the Corps learning how to work together to create things in [[alignment]] with [[the Father]]'s will. The hardest part for some people will be letting go of personal [[ideas]] of how things should be done, especially if these make good sense. Always the [[priority]] is to know and do the Father's will. The [[efforts]] that you make now and continue to make in the future, to [[harmonize]] your personal relationships will pay off in terms of the stability that the overall project will be able to maintain.

The 4th finaliter then states it will be well if we can do some [[research]] on [[community]] [[governments]] in the realm of how [[decision]] making is done, and bring this preliminary data back to the Corps. For example in Scandinavia and now in America, there is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C0-housing co-housing] and other kinds of [[communities]]. Study actual communities being brought together, and explore the [[problems]] they face with [[decision]]-making, [[financing]], building,etc. Learn from the mistakes of other communities. (They really were emphasizing the need to take our time and do our [[homework]]).

5th: The next finaliter is a female in charge of world [[outreach]]. She is the being that will help us present the work of the [[group]] to the outer world. "In the building of [[Dalamatia|New Dalamatia|New Dalmatia]], the importance of the correct presentation to the greater world beyond yourselves is of critical importance. Others must feel that equals are welcoming equals. So many groups have set themselves up as arbiters of right and wrong, and thus have [[alienated]] the very people they were asked to serve. The pattern of [[failure]] in this regard is well documented, and it would do you well to [[understand]] the mistakes that have been made. The inability to [[understand]] how others think and feel has results in groups [[thinking]] they can bring others into what they know without first building the appropriate bridges. It is so important that what is created must be build on true [[understanding]] of what sort of approaches will be most successful in bringing other people in.
