LinEL: One moment Tom. Yes, I can tell you this much. You know already the [[Urantia Book]] is the most valuable piece of [[literature]] in terms of your [[understanding]] of your entire [[spiritual]] lives on [[this planet]]. It will indeed be used and we will [[encourage]] you to foster its use. Do not be alarmed if it [[appears]] that our [[agenda]] is [[different]] initially. This is only an initial [[phase]]. This initial phase is required for several reasons, one of which is that we be able to bond [[together]] [[persons]] who do not necessarily have the same backgrounds in this [[understanding]]. The time will come however, when the [[Urantia Book]] will serve as the basic [[textbook]] for understanding [[universe reality]]. Therefore, continue please to [[cherish]] it, to [[read]] it, to [[share]] with each other. However, when you are abroad in the world, it is perhaps best in most instances to [[focus]] on [[channeling]] [[the Father]]'s [[love]] and speaking in simpler terms until people's [[understanding]] is sufficient to be ready to grasp [[the book]]. Does this answer?

Tom: Yes. Also, I'm going to loan a [[Urantia Book]] to this [[person]] who I've been [[discussing]] [[spiritual]] aspects in the [[morning]] at [http://www.newmorningbakery.com/ New Morning Bakery]. And, when I [[explained]] how the [[Urantia Book]] came down to [[this planet]], his first [[reaction]] was, "That's [[channeling]]." And that's a lot of Urantia Book [[readers]]' [[reaction]] to the [[Teaching Mission]]. What [[similarities]] in the Teaching Mission and the way the [[Urantia Book]] was delivered to [[this planet]]...what are the [[similarities]]?

LinEL: This is an interesting and [[complicated]] question. Actually, the [[similarities]] for the transmission of the [[Urantia Book]] and the [[process]] of this [[Teaching Mission]] are virtually [[identical]]. This is in [[fact]] the basic [[manner]] in which the [[Urantia Book]] was given to [[this planet]]. Part of the [[problem]] arises from the [[fact]] that some [[channeling]] on this planet has been [[inspired]], though often garbled. Whereas, other so-called [[channeling]] has been largely for the [[ego]] [[gratification]] of the apparent [[channeler]]. It is difficult to separate out the wheat from the chaff and I think it will take some time yet before we can straighten out this [[channeling]] aspect. I personally prefer not to use the term "channeling", but I [[recognize]] this will be [[difficult]] when you are presenting the situation to others who are familiar with the term.

LinEL: Thank you, Cindy. We already know your [[gratitude]], but are delighted for you to [[speak]] with us here. We are just as [[happy]] that all of you are here too. I wish you could see how we truly [[feel]]. We all have thrilling times ahead together. We are glad you are part of this, Cindy. Thank you.

Marge: Hi, LinEL. This is Marge. I'm still getting tapped on the shoulder. And the [[thought]] in my [[mind]] is that this is about the only time of the day that I don't have a lot of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertension#Medications heart drug] in my [[system]].. I [[wondered]] if this could be what this is about.

LinEL: Dear Marge. Yes, this is a [[problem]]. I [[regret]] to tell you that [[medications]] often [[pose]] [[difficulties]]. We [[hope]] that you are not disturbed by our loving [[gestures]]. But know that we are with you all throughout your day and [[love]] you very much.

Thea is tired. A few more questions will be [[acceptable]], but we must end soon.

Tom: I have a [[question]] with regards to the [http://urantiabook.org/archive/history/h_timlin_6.htm International Conference in August of '93]. Since the fellowship [[organization]] that's putting on the [[conference]] is trying to discredit the [[Teaching Mission]] and shun out of the organization any people who are active in this mission and are not [[permitting]] any presentation at the conference, workshops or [[speeches]] or any type of presentation...what is [[the Father]]'s and [[Michael]]'s [[plan]] for the [[Teaching Mission]] [[participation]] at that conference?

LinEL: We do not [[participate]] within your [[disputes]] on these issues. It is to you to make [[decisions]] as to how you would wish to address this in your [[human]] lives. We are not here to have any involvement in this [[difficulty]]. There are things, as you know, that must be settled by you amongst yourselves. I know this is [[frustrating]] but there are reasons why it must be this way.
