MERIUM: This is your friend, Merium, a teacher and baby sitter of some repute. You may not know me well here but I have garnered myself somewhat of a reputation in my experiential trek by the attitude I have bestowed upon those I meet as a result of my mortal conditioning.

===Lesson===
 
You may recall the story in the Urantia Papers that depicts the two friends, one of whom came from a background which was not an effective means for him to learn those qualities of character which would render him dependable as an adult; and his friend, who was by contrast, a product of an environment which was supportive and encouraging and of such an emotional character as to render this child of nature able to readily assume those effects of such causes and be responsible, dependable, reliable, loyal and cheerful … inherently, almost.

This, indeed, is heaven on earth. Our goal is to allow this state of being to prevail, to cover the globe like a yellow blanket of grace, bringing comfort and security of the spirit to you and all you know. Thank you for your prayer, Elena. Thank you for your presence, each of you. Let’s wiggle a little in our chairs, then, shall we? And feel our feet on the ground that we might touch base with the realm in which you live and which is the arena where you do the work. How are things in your life?

Reneau: I got my new job! So I have changed my arena, definitely. Out of the hospital and into the streets! So to speak.

MERIUM: Perhaps we should all go play also, and I mean outdoors in the fresh air as children. Don't fall out of the tree. And stay out from under that bluebird of happiness. (Laughter) It has been a pleasure, a joy and a delight. I'll see you next time. Bye-bye.
