===Opening===
 
Dirk: It is our intention today to speak with our Celestial Friends and Teachers. This is a normal Teaching Mission session, although there are just two of us here today (and all of our unseen friends, of course.) We are attempting to receive the lessons under the auspices of the Melchizedeks and Michael and Nebadonia, the Correcting Time and the Teaching Mission. We will do some Stillness now.

Rayson: We are pleased that you continue on without those to "make a show for," if that were your intentions. We have not doubted your sincerity for quite awhile, and we know that you will continue, no matter what, should there be only two of you. I am delighted to see this effort, especially in light of your recent medical treatments. You seem to have done preparation that facilitated your trip through this world of chemotherapy with ease and relative comfort. It can be thus for those who believe it can, and who take the steps necessary to make it so. Have you questions this afternoon?

Arista: Good afternoon students, this is Arista. (Good afternoon, Arista.) It is my lesson today to talk about—I was going to say "Adversity"—but upon examining your backgrounds, I see that you perhaps have understood adversity quite well and mastered many of it’s aspects. Can you imagine what kinds of adversities you will face after you leave Urantia? (Student: No, I have no "clue!") Yes. Even now, you are preparing for them. You are overcoming your prejudices, your twinges of superiority, and your tics of bigotry, and are greatly conquering your "flash points" in your spiritual poisons. You are not nearly as quick to anger, have little fear (unless it is in cases of "tape removal")* and I believe exposure to more of your fellow Urantians will facilitate greatly your growth in areas of prejudice, bigotry, superiority. Your progress on your path to the Father reduces these; you cannot stay on the path and embrace "poison," or fear, or hatred, or envy, or greed.

Your progress has been spectacular in the time since you have seriously started working on these byways to the path. (Thank you.) It has been our pleasure to observe and be of service whenever and where ever we could. Remember the joy and the celebration of accomplishment! We feel that that is what you are doing in holding this group today. You have decided to share with us your joy and progress you have made, and progress in overcoming chemotherapy chemicals and their effects. So you see, this is our way of celebrating with you. We salute you and applaud your progress and are ready to march on the next mile with you, as you so eloquently state you plan to do. We will be with you. (We welcome your company!) And so, I have no further lesson. I believe this concludes our Sunday afternoon session. Love to you all. Good day.

[Note from transcriber: During a biopsy procedure, large amounts of very sticky surgical tape were applied over large areas of very "hairy skin," which was later ripped off hastily, taking layers of skin and hair follicles with it. Rayson said Dirk could be heard even on the Teacher’s World! Dirk now has a phobia about tape removal.)
