Lo these many years we have been making efforts toward swaying the mass-mind-set, toward practical [[spirituality]]. [[Concepts]] are born every day, and without [[education]] and putting these concepts into practical use, they will die. That is certainly acceptable, but there is a danger in losing those practical realities that either drives a world's people toward animalistic tendencies or [[mysticism|mystical]] non-reality. It is our hope in this [[Correcting Time]] to bring a [[balance]] of [[logic]]al spiritual action.

The Teaching Mission brings your text book to life. You can study all you want, but putting these concepts into practical living takes a great deal of effort. We are here to help move you forward to the actual living of the principles of the [[Urantia Book]]. The book can seem a bit technical or mechanistic. We are hoping to bring a balance to this book of [[truth]] by adding love, and making God, the Father, more reachable or perhaps useable.

As you have seen in religious history, there is imbalance where there seems to be a need for an [[individual]] to stand above the rest, a need for certain individuals to appear to be more righteous or holy. The Correcting Time Teaching Mission brings a blended balance of Christ-like humility and a secure [[consciousness]] of [[universal]] well-being.

The Master did all that was divinely and humanly possible to defer any self-glory. His mission was straight forward, looking toward the Father and His will. How did Jesus, of Nazareth, maintain a wonderfully balanced ministry where His eye was single to the glory of God? How was the Master so perfected in self-forgetfulness? Why was any self-elevation so distasteful to Him? Our Master simply knew the Father's love. He had all He needed, in this there was no desire to call attention to Himself to gain the love and respect of His fellows. There was no joy for Him in self-glory. His complete joy was found solely in the Father's love. He was very secure, which unfortunately, many in the mortal experience are lacking. Of course, Jesus realized His [[divinity]] early on and certainly this was a great asset.

It is understood that you, on a strife-torn world, would experience a personal and collective insecurity. It is our goal in this Correcting Time to bring back what has been lost, to correct what has been wrong, to bring light where there has been darkness. Citizens on worlds settled in [[Light and Life]] have not the [[knowledge]] of this insecurity, for they have been educated from the day they were brought into existence that they are valued and loved, no matter what. They seek not to step upon their fellows backs to rise above and be seen as superior all for the gratification of the [[ego]]. They work not against each other. The [[concepts]] of the various social classes means nothing to them. The citizens are all indeed parts working for the good of the whole. What is good for one is good for all. What affects one, affects all. Indeed these Light and Life residents are wholly secure in their citizenship, in their [[faith]] as a son or daughter of God.

In the [[Teaching Mission]] we strive to bring back that lost security to make every individual feel valued and loved and a part of the [[universe]]. Not one is closer to God than another. In God's eyes, He loves each child as if it were His only child. Our Mission is to unify, to equal the imbalances that tend to come with the mortal ego. I am saying we are here to assist, not to shame nor guilt you into spiritual submission. Our goal is to bring personal spiritual security. Not one stands above any one of you.

Spiritual knowledge does not make one individual any more valued than another. To have that spiritual security brings new confidence to be in the world with an eye single to the glory of God. There is not any spiritual practice really that can make you have more faith. There are many [[ritual]]s mortals perform hoping to invoke Gods [[presence]]. I am saying God's presence is there already--no matter what--no more, no less. It matters not the time or mind-set. He is always there. It is your willingness to allow what you think you want and need to dissolve that will bring you more spiritual

For the remainder of the Conference ponder your spiritual security, your personal mortal security also. Contemplate your status in the Kingdom. Measure your faith/trust factor with what your eyes tells you is [[reality]]. Know that you are each safely secured within the love of the Father and His Kingdom. Are there questions?

Q: Thank you Abraham. I was hoping you would ask that. For the last several months in the Teaching Mission certainly Daniel and Minearsa, our group teachers, and many of the transcripts have dealt with living the [[morontia]] life now, also our role as cosmic citizens, and obviously those are some of the emphasis that are on at the Conference this week. It seems to me that the [[celestial]]s are not just busy with [[Teaching Mission]] folks, but maybe with also other leadership in spiritual realms. I was just wondering if you could talk about that?
