[ED Note: Before the lesson tonight we had an open forum discussion, as was suggested in last weeks lesson, about avoidance. Each of us took the opportunity to speak of what personal concerns we had on the subject. We listened and felt that we had many similar issues. Our concerns are evaluated and addressed by those with greater understanding and insight.]

I will not be giving the lesson tonight. I am the welcomer. But I did want to thank you for your efforts this evening. One moment please.

I would encourage you to contemplate these thoughts this evening and then take a new or fresh approach to your quiet time. See it as though a person, out of shape, is seeing the treadmill, recognizing that the discipline and effort, if you can make it ahabit, will be worth the struggle. Between now and the next meeting, use your calendar as your friend. Make a mark each day that you choose to "exercise," so to speak. Give yourself an incentive. Believe me, the Father of All will not be offended that you need an incentive to come and visit, for like ourselves, He is quite cognizant of the benefit of creating patterns and habits—healthy habits.

r we meet again, talk about your progress, where it worked, where it did not, and utilize each other as a support mechanism for creating techniques that help you better, attain your goals. Alcoholics have the support structure, and weight watchers, so it is quite appropriate that spiritual seekers also have the support structure to keep them on track. There is not weakness in sharing the struggles with one another; it is what the universal family is all about.

MINEARSIA (Nancy): I am Minearsia; I welcome interaction at this point in time. And if you are not inclined to interact now but desire time to reflect, then we enthusiastically look forward to interacting with you the next time we meet. Are there thoughts anyone would like to share tonight? Questions? Reactions?

Well then, my friends, the time has come to close this evening’s delightful session. I request that you close in your usual manner. We ask that whoever feels so moved provide the final closing. It has been my pleasure to be at your service tonight. I am Minearsia saying farewell, shalom. My love to you all.

Father, Brother, Mother, Spirit, God, Creator of all that is and ever will be, I offer you my gratitude for my experience in service to You. Blessed be these, Your students, for while they do not recognize it, they are peacemakers and they are the inheritance of this beautiful planet Urantia, Earth. I thank You for this opportunity to know them, to serve with them, and to be the guiding light. Send them forth with their flames fully lit, to seek You, to enjoy You. I ask this in the name of Michael, our Father, our Brother, our Creator Son.
