This is Rayson; I will speak here in the beginning rather than Daniel. Do your usual [[merkaba]] work, your connection, and your intentions, your invocations and commitments. See the mind line, and the heart line and all the lines of the merkaba. We wish you to relax at this time, we know that you study the [[Urantia Text|Urantia Book]] during the middle of the week, and oftentimes each of you is very busy during the remainder of the days of the week and you come to TM and you listen attentively. Today we would like to give you space, an extended period of time for quietude, for your time to receive solace and guidance and information from your teachers and from Michael and Nebadonia. So we will have an extended repose for meditation, and you can use this time to use the merkaba to send energy to others or for your own use. This is a quiet time to enjoy, so be prepared for an extended time of quiet.

(Very long pause.) And now consciously rejoin the group, please. You may open your eyes for a few moments before we begin.

When you go into meditation, such as these quiet times, when your mind is not working on its own but under guidance of your will, and you have some spiritual work to do, you will find yourself extending out into the universe to assist others, to make contact, to be receptive. And sometimes you simultaneously feel the "glowing presence of light" of your Thought Adjuster within you. And sometimes you feel the glow of all God’s love and presence surrounding you, and this comes fairly close to the truth of your being in the larger universe, that is under the First Source and Center’s watch-care. There is needed time to do this, to feel this, to reconnect. It is not always an intellectual pursuit of some goal, of some training, but practicing the presence, your presence meeting the presence of the Creator within you, which is ironically infinite and yet so finite. And this is the juxtaposition you will be in for the duration of your spiritual careers, even through your Uversa educational experiences. It is good to know this and feel this from time to time. And we want to provide these opportunities to you as well as the lessons.

Let us continue then with the development of intentional community. The following construct may be a bit difficult for some of you to visualize; for others of you, it will be quite easy. But I want you to visualize a two-dimensional schematic of a community. You’ve done this before, you’ve seen organizational maps, organizational structures on two-dimensions, and in this case, the focus is upon the individual. Last time we met, we spoke about the "intention of community" is to raise and develop and to grow individuals who are of soul-survivable capacity, to be integrated with a larger community, to make a contribution in a meaningful way. So this schematic has the individual at a point or a nexus; from that person radiate connecting lines to all agencies, facilities, organizations, bodies that assist in the growth, support, maintenance and development of the individual.
