We have announced that [[this world]] is free of all personal [[Demons|evil beings]] other than that which resides among [[mortals]]. We are testimony by our [[presence]], by the loving nature of our [[touch]], that the [[truth]] that we speak cannot be confounded. We have urged you all to seek within yourselves the [[Ta|presence of God]] which effort always results in [[peace]] and tranquility.

There are fearful [[thoughts]] which are in the [[collective consciousness]] of [[this planet]] and these are not themselves entities which can, as a [[midwayer]] might have done in the past, strongly [[influence]] a person. Nevertheless [[negative]] thinking has a certain degree of [[power]]. This is why we urge you to pray for each other and for other situations, for your prayers directly counteract, [[diffuse]], and destroy the negativity in the collective consciousness. [[Our mission]] has this as one of its primary goals, to erase this fundamental [[fear]] from [[Urantia]]. I call it "ghost fear" because it has the same flavor, the [[belief]] that somehow you do not have possession of your own [[free will]], but that some other outside [[influence]] can take it away from you. This is totally in [[error]], my friends. [Editor's note: As I was [[transcribing]] this I was reminded of a sentence from the [[Apostle Paul]]'s second letter to Timothy which says: "God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of [[power]], of [[love]], and of a sound mind".

Isaac thinks of mental illness and I shall reply to him. It is true that there are seasons of [[psychosis]] which occur in some people's lives which are not due to their [[choice]]. But this does not touch [[the soul]]. This illness is strictly in the mind and it is of no consequence for the [[purpose]] of choosing one's eternal [[destiny]]. It is a blatant and [[blasphemous]] falsehood that the "[[devil]]" could take away a soul, as though he had that kind of [[power]]. Never were any of the [[midwayers]] or [[Caligastia]], [[Daligastia]], able to [[touch]] [[the soul]] of any person. Now that they are not here, that is totally a moot concern. You are safe in the love of God; and we are here to tell you this as plainly as we can. No, Isaac, as you have stated, we are not [[liars]] or [[fools]]; we are loving brothers and sisters.
