Yes, I am here because I [[love]] this [[planet]] and its people, having lived here myself. My name is still held in great [[honor]] amongst several [[religion]]s of the world. It is almost [[embarrassing]] to me, the inappropriate [[adulation]] that I [[receive]]. If it were possible for people to truly know what kind of life I lived they would understand that they, too, are just like I was, a [[mortal]] living in a world whose enormity and [[mystery]] was practically overwhelming. If they knew that I am actually still here on occasion, what would they make of it? They would have to stop honoring me on a [[pedestal]] and start taking my [[words]] seriously. So, I do not tell you my name as [[commanding]] any more respect than any other mortal. I, like you, am a servant, brother, and son.

When I was with [[Melchizedek]], learning his [[precepts]] and [[understanding]] to some degree what he was [[teaching]] me, at the same time I was engrossed in my "own thing", as you would say. I wanted to be the chief [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheikh sheik], the head honcho, the big guy in charge of vast areas of [[land]]; and to some extent that earthly [[ambition]] was realized. But at least to some degree I did follow through on my [[commitment]] with [[Melchizedek]] and that degree of commitment was counted by [[Heaven]] as [[righteousness]]. That degree of [[faith]] that I had was sufficient for my connection with [[Father within]] to bring me to the place where I am now. Now I am in the role of Melchizedek with you all: teacher to you; [[authority]] to you. Indeed, I have been given considerable authority in this [[Teaching Mission]]. Again, my friends, it is because of commitment and faithful follow through that any and all of us will be given further authority. As [[our Master]] often described it, he who has done faithfully in little [[things]] will be given larger [[responsibilities]].

You have been [[discussing]] the [[Magisterial Son]]'s mission, his coming and certain [[presence]] on this planet. Of course the [[Correcting Time]] is correlated with a [[Magisterial Mission]]; could it be otherwise? Our Son is here, as you have been told. He is in [[process]] of beginning his mission.
