SIGNA: The [[sharing]] of [[truth, beauty, and goodness]] does not [[necessarily]] fall into the realm of what you would call "[[religion]]". It could be the [[sharing]] of the [[beauty]] of a sunset; the [[sharing]] of a particular shared [[truth]] that you know; it could be something from the [[Urantia Book]] that is quite outside of the usual [[norm]] of religious talk. [[Shared]] [[experience]] of something [[good]]; something that has transpired in the news; something that you have [[learned]] in your [[community]]. All [[truth, beauty, and goodness]] is from [[the Father]] and it doesn't necessarily have to [[reflect]] a [[spiritual]] [[nature]].

Student: Signa, this is Martha. I had an [[experience]] this last Sunday that, for some reason, this lesson made me [[think]] of. I was [[reading]] the newspaper. I don't know if anyone read in the Orange County section the editorial by Dana Parsons. He was saying that before he [[died]] he'd really like to have [[universal]] [[agreement]] between the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creationism creationists] and the [[evolution]]ists on how we really came about. By the time I finished this little article, I [[thought]], "You know what? I really need to tell this man about The [[Urantia Book]]." So, I went to my [[computer]] and I typed him a letter, just telling him about The [[Urantia Book]]. I sent it off within the hour. It may be all over the L.A. Times in a couple days!! I don't know!

SIGNA: That is a [[leading]]. You have seen a [[spark]] there in that [[individual]] in his [[writing]] that you felt it was [[necessary]] to [[share]] your [[truth]] with. That is [[good]]. It may be useful, after tonight's meeting, to [[share]] some of those [[experiences]] that each of you have had. And next week, before our meeting begins, share those experiences that you have had during the week and how they have transpired. And, I am sure that as you share those [[experiences]], you will all [[learn]] from that just as much as you could possibly learn from me telling you what I know. [[Experience]] is a great [[teacher]] and those [[shared]] experiences can help you all to [[learn]] how this [[process]] works, and it does. Are there further questions?
