.... Make no mistake. We are [[individuals]] with [[personalities]], with styles, with our [[perceptions]] of what is true and what is [[beautiful]] and what is [[good]]. They are our [[perceptions]]. We would only [[share]] them with you. We would not compel them to you. We would be your [[friends]]. We are another rung or two up the ladder. We work here with you, in [[spirit]], I think. From just a rung or two up, we can reach you with our hands and help you step up the ladder. We have not reached the top. We do not know [[absolute]] [[truth]]. You can find the closest thing to absolute truth in [[your text]], which we have followed by some years. The simple [[message]] is: You have personal [[spiritual]] [[guidance]]. And with incremental openings of [[energies]] projecting and expanding [[tbg|truth and beauty and goodness]] comes your own incremental openings of your treasure chests of nuggets and diamonds. There is more [[truth]] that you can [[perceive]]! Bringing a [[smile]] of delight . .. a little more feeling of [[goodness]] inside.

Ahhh! I feel better. A greater [[intensity]] of [[beauty]], appreciation of beauty, [[desire]] to spread that beauty to those in squalor and make no mistake, the [[poor]] and suffering see so little of [[beauty]] they can understand it not at all. You must bring them [[beauty]]. It is a [[tool]] of the [[Teaching Mission]] and all other [[spiritual progress]]. Bring them beauty as you [[service]] and nurture the poor and unfortunate. Bring them beauty as you plant a flower garden or a vegetable garden or to appreciate the giant http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elm elms] in their [[park]].

[[Love]]. The reason we are here. And you know when . .. in the [[Stillness]].

The [[Stillness]] is the [[antidote]] to the spirit [[poisons]] which we will not even mention by name. You have taken [[steps]] of [[faith]], often through hard [[adversity]], to get to this [[conference]]. Two things to know: If [[time]] seems problematic, trying, troublesome, [[frustrating]], please, please know in [[faith]] that these are lessons that you need to learn, and when you learn them, you will grow so much [[stronger]] in [[spirit]] that you will know these lessons are worthwhile. Being [[human]], it is hard to recognize sometimes what the lesson is. It is hard to say. Take one of our [[beautiful]] spiritual guides [[home]] with you. Ask her name if you [[choose]]. Or feel in your [[hearts]] that this is something different, which is the same, and that is . .. spirit [[love]]. However you put [[words]] to it or phrase it.

TOMAS: I am Tomas. I am one of the [[voices]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_United_States East] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mississippi_river Mississippi]. There are many others. The [[circuits]] today are hopping, as they have been for some time, in [[excitement]] and in response to the [[agitation]] which you have allowed by your [[eagerness]] to [[grow]], to [[ascend]], to face yourselves and [[aspire]] toward [[perfection]].

I would like to regress briefly, my friends. Our co-teacher [[Daniel]] has been checking in with us regularly as have [[Ham]], [[Will]], [[Olfana]] and many of your other favorite friends in the [[spirit]] realm. We have obviously close contact, and your proximity to each other in this range of [[experience]]. Wrought by such gatherings of believers, has brought to us many reminiscences of our [[experiences]] here in the [[Teaching Mission]] as it has among you. And we, like you, are [[eager]] to [[share]] our [[observations]] of the [[growth]] and development of the spirit on [[Urantia]].

As you learn by your [[association]] with [[spirit]], in this teaching format and in other ways conducive to [[spiritual growth]], you will begin to learn to love the [[sound]] of the [[comfort]] of each other, the [[joy]] and the [[laughter]] [[inherent]] in you each, the [[wisdom]] and the [[knowledge]] and the knowing of the [[mortal]] who has lived this life in search of and in mastery of himself.

I have seen a picture now, of the [[forest]], in which there are many trees standing and you who have seen advertisements for yellow pages, if you have not seen [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zen_Buddhism Zen Buddhism], will recognize that if a tree falls in this [[forest]], will it be heard?

And I offer to you that you are the trees standing in the [[forest]]. Will you be heard? Not unless there is someone there to hear you. And so make your-self easy to hear. Allow yourself to be heard by being approachable. If you would have [[friends]], prove yourself to be friendly. [[Friendship]] is something you can [[perfect]] by having the [[Creator Son|Great Friend]] as your constant [[companion]].

I don't [[believe]] that any of [[the teachers]] that I have worked with have tried to [[judge]] your [[behaviors]] or your [[political]] [[opinions]], have tried to sell you a [[book]] or have tried to change your [[costume]]. I know very few who will criticize your [[vocabulary]], and yet you among yourselves have found this to be a common [[pattern]] of [[communication]] because it is your inherited understanding of communication, much like [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magpies magpies] or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parrots parrots].

I know you are more than birds. I know you are greater than trees. I know you have this deep [[capacity]] for [[understanding]], for you sit in [[peace]] and [[reception]] of these teachers who talk ad-infinitum, like sponges, eagerly acknowledging [[words]] which provide you with [[food]] for [[thought]] and a [[comfort]] and solace in the [[turbulence]] of your daily [[existence]].

EL TANERE: This is El Tanere. The [[love]] of [[God]] uplifts you. The [[light]] of God surrounds you. The [[power]] of God protects you and the [[presence]] of God is with you always.

To begin, it was just a short while ago, perhaps two years of your earth time, that I spoke through my receiver in a little corner of your [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northwest_United_States Northwest America] at another such gathering, and I recall suggesting that the best of the [[celestial]] teachings be compiled and published for [[the masses]].

Know this: it is not [[necessary]] to take the celestial teachings exactly as they have been presented to you. What you have learned from these teachings is what you can present to the world in publications.

Your [[intentions]] are [[sincere]]. [[The universe]] has heard and will arrange to accommodate these sincere intentions as part of [[the mission]] of the [[Correcting Time]] and the [[Teaching Mission]]. The second thing I wish to enforce among all of you is to make a sincere [[declaration]] to [[your Father]] and the universe to replace all [[fear]] with [[love]].

Do you not know that with the elimination of fear, you will have no more [[terrorism]]? Your [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancer cancer] will be eliminated. Many, many [[diseases]] will no longer be. It is the fear [[emotion]] that you earth [[entities]] [[express]] which is the food that allows this to take place.

We recognize where your [[fear]] came from, where it originated, in the very beginning of [[time]], in the beginning of [[evolution]]. The fear of [[survival]] and the [[unknown]].

It was as [[the Master]] said, follow the [[golden rule]] and apply it. [[Responsibility]]. Be responsible for what you think, say and do. It is not [[necessary]] to [[blame]] anyone or anything. Take the responsibility for your own [[thoughts]], your own [[expressions]] and your own [[actions]], for you see, it all begins with you.

And when I say that it all begins with you, to use one of your [[colloquial]] terms, "begins with you", for you are all one. Love your work, love the elements. Love the elements! You almost destroyed them. In your movie "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E.T._%28movie%29 E.T]." -- which is sometimes what you refer to me as -- if you recall, the little alien E.T. was [[resurrected]] by [[love]], by the [[energy]] and the [[emotion]] of love.

So then will your [[elements]] and your trees and your [[forests]] and your [[water]] and your [[land]] and your [[air]] and your [[soil]], everything will be [[renewed]] and revitalized with love. You came from the [[earth]]; love it with your energy force. That is very powerful.
