The event inspired Mark and I, we were rewarded for the step of faith that carried us to Chicago, and we eventually produced 10 CDs together. I began transmitting the next month and have been blessed with the connection ever since.
Conversely, like the FOG episode ten years earlier, it embarrassed the hell out of a bunch of analytical folks and they stomped off into a sour disposition. A sizeable number of those people showed up in doubt and cynicism and didn't believe it would happen, certainly contributing nothing to the collective positive energies that were being summoned to assist.
Some joined a circle of energy in the room and actively participated. For them it was like Pentecost, with new energies coming in. The expeience was real. Others sat trying to wrap their minds around it, minds twisted by the new-age like ceremony before them, the kind of thing which sullies their intellectual worship of the UB, and a big assertive woman transmitter in a white gown they didn't know. Sedona must have set off an alarm to some Urantians.
Perhaps you get out of something what you put into it.
Except for seeing morontian personalities. We didn't do that in Naperville, and most of us have never seen one in our whole lives. At Naperville, it was no different.
The guys with the video camera must have particularly been disgusted. But .... can you imagine the audacity of showing up for a spiritual event with a camera, with a bunch of skeptics, in a blooming Holiday Inn. If a spectre had appeared, the whole place would have probably fallen into a panic, with people falling down and crying, running out of the room, etc. The camera men would be running across the parking lot to the studio to see what they captured and get it on TV. What a mess.
There was also the immediacy of the Waco cult people being burned alive at that time, and whether the timing was right for a spectre appearance and its consequences.
There was also the matter of people turning off all the lights in the room, which reportedly made it very difficult to observe a morontian figure. Duh. So much for candlelight for atmosphere.
And there were those who are so wedded and welded into their material eyes, that they stormed away from the scene and did not bother to hear the transmissions that followed in an alcove, and when workers came to clean up the alcove, we re-entered the large room, and continued the discussion. Many heard none of these, having fled. Some flocked to the hotel lobby and chatted among themselves, laughing at the tomfoolery of the whole thing and people's deleterious imaginations.
Perhaps we are always making something out of our own minds, when the whole idea is to turn them off and open to Spirit. A number of humans in Naperville were and are still heavily invested into their own logical minds, and it rules them. It is altogether too difficult/fearful for them to release any of this control. And they showed up in curiosity, believing that he would not appear. One TR group even had its own transmissions to refute it and they came anyway. Such a mix of negative and positive energies. --rdavis 17:17, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
