Ham: Certainly, son you are making good [[progress]] and your [[sincerity]] and [[earnest]] seeking is very much appreciated. Do not [[fear]] your human failings, nor should you [[expect]] too much [[perfection]] of yourself. Rather, learn to [[accept]] yourself as you are today, and from this you shall grow.

Q: This is a question from Derrick. I have a question regarding the [[relationship]] of the [[Teaching Mission]] and the [[Urantia Book]] and the [[timing]] of it all. In [[reading]] the ubook, I get the impression that things take time, usually a lot of it and that our [[perspective]] of time in one lifetime is [[distorted]]. It has been 2000 years since the [[92:4|last epochal revelation]] and now in the span of a single lifetime we have the Urantia Book and the Teaching Mission. Why was not mention of the teaching mission made to [http://www.urantiabook.org/Default.aspx?PageID=14628367&A=SearchResult&SearchID=4303142&ObjectID=14628367&ObjectType=1 the forum]. It seems to me that the teaching mission is more of an after thought than part of the plan from the start.

Ham: Of course my son. [[Your planet]] is undergoing a massive effort at spiritual uplift, the Urantia Book was a [[forerunner]] to the more personal teachings which you have been [[receiving]] over the last quarter century. Yes, these are both parts of the same plan, of course. As always seems to happen with immature human beings, when someone receives part of the [[truth]], one tends to exaggerate this part and to make it seem to be [[the whole]]. The Urantia book was never meant to be an [[orphan]]. [[Truth]] is always living, it cannot be crystalized into a single [[book]]. The Urantia Book contains many advanced truths which have helped to pave the way for a more comprehensive teaching effort, but it is not, of course, the final truth or the final [[revelation]] for this time period. All of this [[effort]] is to [[prepare]] your world to [[eventually]] receive another Son. You have lost so much ground and have had so many set backs that extraordinary efforts are being made to help bring you up to a level where a Son could be [[received]] with [[gratitude]] rather than [[resentment]]. Your world has a long way to go before this can be possible. [[Fear]] not my son that you must choose between [[loyalty]] to a book containing truth or loyalty to a teacher bearing truth. Remain loyal instead to the living [[truth]] and all else will come into [[perspective]] for you.
