Changes

But remember, forerunners are often faced with such loneliness. When the multitudes departed from the Master's preaching because he would not work the wonders they expected, the Apostles were disillusioned and upset. It is natural for humans to wish to see results, but the long-distance view requires almost super-human patience, and agondonter faith. This you have persisted in, and we are ever grateful, for your willingness to let us into your lives and work with us are those seeds from which our knowledge, gained by the experience which knowledge requires, can move forward with the developing plans for the uplift of your world.

What many of you call the [[teaching mission]] is an extension of the original Teaching Mission, Michael's bestowal mission to the planet. He well knew even before he came to this world that his human lifetime would not be enough to establish in men's hearts all that would be required to reclaim this world from the legacy of Lucifer that had robbed it of so much. When his life did not last even as long as hoped, there was no doubt of his need to provide for you, his beloved children. Before he even ascended, this teaching mission was planned and considered. It did not take even 2000 years of pre-planning before we were recruited and brought to Urantia. It will take us another bit of time to collect enough data in close personal contact with you to be able to formulate effective curricula to replace the [[knowledge base]] lost with [[Dalamatia]] and [[Eden]], knowledge - teachings - essential to your ability to achieve [[light and life]]. From what our beloved Master has told us many times, this over-arching mission represents his continuing ministry to you, for he could not leave his beloved children bereft of his help. His spirit you have always with you at your request, but he will leave no stone unturned to find ways to assist you in your struggles, to allay your griefs and dress your wounds of [[heart]] and [[spirit]].

Therefore, we are here. And it is natural that you all have distortions in your understanding of our roles. Some distortions are greater than others, but none matter in the sincere hearts that seek [[truth]], [[beauty]] and [[goodness]], that ever seek love as the answer to life's profound problems, that know the true source of that love as the Father above and within. Sincerity will win through to truth in the end. Naturally we are saddened at your disagreements, but you must understand that beyond your human pains, these matters concern us not at in terms of our success. It is Michael's mission, and therefore there is no question of failure. Your difficulties are all instructive in terms of our tasks - trying to find the best ways to assist your world. And we love you all, each and every one, mightily when we see your struggles with one another. When we see those who will not step out, we understand the need for frightened children to be loved and comforted so that security can guide them in the uncertainties of life. When we see those who rush ahead in their enthusiasm, and sometimes in their fear that nothing is being done, we understand the need for frightened children to be loved and comforted so that security can guide them in the uncertainties of life. Where fear appears, we learn yet more about the way of the animal nature not fully uplifted in [[genetics]] and [[culture]] will be our largest impediment. So, you see, all that you do is instructive to us and assists us in our work.

[[Urantia]] needs the [[knowledge]] it lost. Teaching and learning will be a part of your lives forever. It is part and parcel of both [[time]] and [[eternity]], albeit the methods are vastly different - the goals are not. And ever the most priceless goal is that connection with the Father, with his love that sustains you, from whence you came, and that will permit you to move in ever upward and expansive cycles of relationship with the deeper meanings of truth, beauty and goodness, and to attain at last the pinnacle of Love. We love you beyond description. Your openness to us and your vulnerability are truly gifts, and gifts that are endless service to all who follow you, and to the world when it will be in [[Light and Life]].
