I am ABRAHAM. Greetings. I am glad for the early start to tonight's meeting for we have much to cover. Beginning the second phase of the Correcting Time, it is wise for us to cover some of those tried and true techniques that have carried us this far.

I am ABRAHAM. Greetings. I am glad for the early start to tonight's [[meeting]] for we have much to cover. Beginning the second phase of the [[Correcting Time]], it is wise for us to cover some of those tried and true [[techniques]] that have carried us this far.

We have discussed The Urantia Book as a measuring tool for all our incoming spiritual information. We have discussed the importance of the relationship to our Indwelling Adjusters. We touched on the importance of awareness on who we serve, and the realities of our Paradise Father. I will say a few words on the technique that brought you this Correcting Time Teaching Mission, yes.

I will say a few words on the technique that brought you this Correcting Time [[Teaching Mission]], yes.

The *stillness* practice is a time of quiet openness that is specifically for you. It is for you and Father to keep your relationship fresh and growing. The *stillness* practice is an antidote for stress and mental and emotional confusion. The *stillness* is not about uprooting mystical happenings that proves God is real, no. It is not about showing yourself to be a dedicated child of God. It is not about paying your dues to show you are worthy of "child of God" status.

The *stillness* practice is balance for your mind and a cleansing of spiritual poisons. The *stillness* is reconnecting to Father, that all-knowing Parent, who sees you for who you really are and loves and encourages you without end. The *stillness* or meditation is an equalizer between the divine and the human--a balancer of the ego, a line drawn between self-loathing and self-love.

Stillness was not designed to add to your guilt because you do not practice it, no, but it is a safeguard for you to become balanced in Spirit, mind and body. A sound connection with Father leads to clean and clear thinking, which receives incoming divine information that produces overall benefits for the mind and body. The human body cannot repel ailments if the mind is in turmoil. It all begins with *stillness*, my friends.
