I [[applaud]] your [[sensitivity]] and your keen observations of need, for you recognize that human upliftment spans the [[spectrum]] from [[physical]] needs all the way on up to the most fulfilling of all human [[hunger]], and that is personal [[intimate]] [[experience]] with [[God]] and all the [[assurances]] derived therefrom.

Much [[inspiration]] has occurred in many lives drawn from the [[study]] of [[Part 4|the life of the Master]]. His [[method]] of ministry and [[outreach]] has been repeated, the taking into [[confidence]] of a few, the development of a corps, and the extension of that ministry to [[the multitudes]]. I know you recognize that it would not be feasible for each of you to undertake preaching tours of the nature of Jesus’ activities of his time. But the [[principle]] of engaging others in your task is [[good]], and you know the range of [[personalities]] that Jesus enlisted in his corps. Their [[talents]] were varied not only horizontally in the sense of what they could perform, how they could function such as a treasurer or speaker or usher, but they were varied in degree of spiritual [[sensitivity]]. Some were [[pacific]], some complacent, some nearly [[militaristic]]. This [[variety]] is beneficial.

As I began by saying that Michael has a cause, and that is [[Light and Life]] for [[Nebadon]], each one of you provides the variety for him to complete his task. Saying this, my [[motivation]] and goal is for you to recognize that your horizontal [[talents]] do not make you greater or lesser than another but part of the [[team]]. Never sell yourself short if you feel less [[enlightened]] than someone else, for the [[method]] that Michael employed here when he was on earth enlisted many [[individuals]] that one in an [[academic]] sense would say were unqualified.

Well, as any good [[conversation]] proceeds, one must not hold the floor for too long. Therefore I am hoping to [[dialogue]] with you at this time.
