0802-AB:        Jack here, your [[midwayer]] [[friend]].  I’ve been getting a lot of good air time lately. I’m glad to have the [[opportunity]] to interject my two cents now and then. I was tied up for an extended period of time and didn’t get to hobnob as you say and so I’ve been [[enjoying]] these opportunities. I also find that those who hear me are [[appreciative]] of the proximity.  There is certainly nothing wrong with hearing from those higher on the scale of [[universe]] [[creation]], but it seems there is a certain [[satisfaction]] that is derived from having [[contact]] with someone who is so close to you, even [[sharing]] so many of your [[emotions]] and, in fact, your [[planet]] itself.

Of course, we do not delve as deeply as you do into some of the more sentient aspects of [[existence]], but we are not without [[appreciation]] for those upper [[mind]] and [[emotional]] [[conflicts]] you get into, those [[moral]] and [[ethical]] [[quandaries]] that occupy your [[thoughts]] on occasion, and this is good because it is the real [[foundation]] of your [[eternal career]]. While you certainly do have the five lower [[adjutants]] in common with one another and the [[animals]] of [[existence]], we have only the upper two that we [[share]] with you and so that really puts us next in line for [[companionship]] and we do [[appreciate]] your [[association]].  Not everyone is [[comfortable]] with the [[concept]]. There are still a great many [[fear]]-ridden [[mortals]] who think of us as [[ghosts]] or [[evil]] spirits or even figments of their overblown [[imagination]], and so you can’t imagine how [[gratifying]] it can be to us to be acknowledged as your [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cousin cousins], your next of [[kin]].

We were recently talking about the [[Paradise Sons of God]] -- the [[Daynals]] and the [[Avonals]]. I know, they are quite a ways away in [[origin]], but they do work, sooner or later, to some [[degree]] or another, with [[the worlds]] of [[time and space]] and so they are not to be overlooked. In [[fact]], any and [[everything]] that you have [[read]] about in the text is worthy of some degree of [[consideration]] or it would not have been put there for your consideration. Some of it is truly just to give you [[perspective]] and, as you have an ordinary sense of smallness in the [[universe]], you can reserve your [[adoration]] for those who are higher, such as the [[Paradise Sons]], even though you cannot possibly [[understand]] them or presume to be much like them.

It has been a natural result of [[developing]] the [[practice]] of [[Stillness]], of going within and tapping into the [[Thought Adjuster|indwelling God fragment]], that has enlivened for you and solidified the [[concept]] of the [[I AM]] and the ability to [[transcend]] [[time and space]], if even only temporarily, such that you can identify with [[Paradise]], even [[developing]] some of your [[philosophies]] based on that premise. But the [[good news]] is you will be reaching for that goal for many, many ages, and at each [[plateau]] of the [[journey]] you will be able to look back, to look at where you have come to [[rest]], and look at what you [[anticipate]] next in your [[future]], and thus once more get a picture of where you fit in [[time and space]], and you [[share]] this [[perspective]] as a [[creature]] of time and space with all the other [[creatures]] of time and space.

Or “[[creation]]s”; you can say “creations” if you are more [[comfortable]] with that. For some people the word “creatures” is eerie and uncomfortable, just as some people don’t like being called an [[animal]]. These are [[words]] that are used: sometimes they require a [[definition]]; sometimes they can be [[assumed]]; sometimes they are assumed and misunderstood. These are part of the [[risk]] that is taken. In [[fact]], it is part of the risk that was taken when the [[Urantia Papers]] were created, that they would be misunderstood, and indeed they have been many times over, and they will no [[doubt]] continue to [[confuse]] the issue - not because of their [[academic]] [[knowledge]], which is certainly one [[factor]], but because everyone’s [[interpretation]] of the book is [[different]].

These are the kinds of [[spiritual growth]] lessons that we [[learn]] through the [[Trinity Teacher Sons]] and the [[Teacher Corps]], as compared to the gifts of the [[Magisterial Son]]s and their contributions to [[the worlds]] of [[time and space]].  They always work in [[coordination]], but their “job descriptions” are not the same.  I have to tell you I do not know a lot about either one of them, inasmuch as all this has only been happening fairly recently on this world.  And we are [[absorbing]] it as you are absorbing it. We are trying to [[discern]] things that are, frankly, way over our head, as you might say, “way beyond our pay scale,” but we will find out what we need to find out on a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Need_to_know need to know basis]. That has always been the case and this, of course, is why we keep striving.

It may be that you strive more than we do, but I won’t make that [[comparison]]. I will only say that some of the things you need to overcome are not the same things we [[midwayers]] need to overcome and yet we [[United Midwayers]] are entrusted with the task of helping [[Urantia]] overcome the [[problems]] it has been beset with. They are many, and we are [[busy]], and frankly we are cultivating your [[reality]], your [[spiritual]] reality, so that you can be helpful, so that you can [[participate]] in the work with us.  The more you become [[aware]] of your own [[consciousness]], the more you become aware of the greater consciousness, the more you are able to pick up cues.

Recca:                        Well, good evening!  This is Jack.  Is that correct?

That’s one of the nice things about this new [[textbook]]. [[Eventually]] its teachings will infiltrate into the [[consciousness]] of [[humanity]] such that the [[passions]] that drive them will subside. The thing is, however, you have a bunch of [[fear]]-based people who are [[confused]] about [[religion]], who watch a lot of television and movies not only about zombies and vampires, but religious films that are filled with [[ignorance]] – religious ignorance.  [[Urantia text|The book]] recently out – I don’t know his name, the Angels and Demons guy who wrote about the [[seed]] of Christ --.
