After April some of you may decided that once a week is not enough. We will discuss this when that time arrives. For now, on behalf of all of my associates I want to tell you of the joy that we are experiencing this evening as we will be able to witness the birth of a child into your world who will be raised in an atmosphere of love. This child will come to know of this mission from the very beginning. It is the children of the planet that will carry on the mission which you have begun. Rejoice with us as this child comes into the world and be willing to do your part, when asked, to help share the truth and the beauty and the goodness that exists within your very souls now. This is indeed a time of great excitement.

As promised, our meeting tonight will focus on group interaction and the dynamics involved therein. I have spent much time in consideration of this evening's lesson. My first inclination was to more or less dominate this meeting with my ideas and concerns. However, in counsel with Ham and the Melchizideks and a few other close associates I have decided to alter this somewhat.

First, let me say that the purpose of this group is manifold. There is much which will transpire in the next two years which will become more evident to you as to the importance of group interaction on a spiritual level. You will be able to provide much help as a group in enabling us to carry out our work. This has been suggested before. Tonight we will touch upon some particular instances that you will be able to participate in that will help us in this mission.

Line 15: Line 15:  
In order to achieve the goal that has been set before us, it must beaccomplished on an individual basis. Each person must do their duty to seek the will of the Father and to live accordingly. But life is not meant to be lived alone. It is meant to be shared with those who have things in common with you. Those of you gathered here tonight have much in common with each other. While your backgrounds and lifestyles may vary, the spirit that leads you from within is on the same path. There is no denying this.

As you progress forward in your spiritual journey, the closeness between each of you will continue to grow. For now, this unity is more or less unconscious on your part, for as your text tells you, spiritual growth is an unconscious process. As time proceeds, as you have the opportunity to reflect upon what has happened over the course of time, you will begin to see patterns developing that you are not yet aware of. These patterns are what is important for us in the group interaction.

There will always be, to more or less degrees, some friction within group interaction, for there will be differences of opinions. There will be differences in conceptual analysis of the information disseminated not only in our meeting, but in other teacher group meetings. This is understood and actually encouraged. You are all encouraged to express your will, express your mind and express your soul.

However, it is also encouraged that you remember one of the primary rules of universe living, and that is, tolerance for one another. As you progress in universe ascension, you will encounter many diverse and unique types of personality. There will be that type that will not be cohesive with yours, yet you may be assigned with that type specifically in order to learn certain lessons and always to learn more about yourself.

Take advantage of the opportunities before you now. Whenever you find yourself in discordance with ideas or personalities within this group, in a manner consistent with that given to you by Christ himself, follow his guidance and always seek to come to an understanding of what it is that you agree and disagree on. There is absolutely, in my opinion, nothing wrong with disagreement. Actually, I find it stimulating; for I am not always in agreement even with my superiors. However, I am always respectful of their position and will do my duty as a universe citizen.

Line 25: Line 25:  
Be mindful that whenever you encounter one that you are not in agreement with, that they too have a spirit fragment of the Father within them. They too are a child of God. They have the right to live just as you have the same right, and they are loved as much as you are loved. Always, whenever you engage in conversation, keep these thoughts foremost in your mind. Practice patience, practice tolerance, practice love. I cannot emphasize this enough to you.

You will have many more opportunities in the future to be tested. There will be those who will come to you and ridicule you. There will be those who come to you and question you. There will be those who will disagree wholeheartedly with you. What will your reaction be? Will you exhibit typical human manifestations of personality characteristics, namely impatience? Will you exhibit a frail type of personality, bury your shield, and hide behind that? Will you exhibit a weakness of selfhood, of self-realization and not stand for those things which you believe to be true?

Our lessons so far on character have had many purposes of which you are not yet aware. I had suggested to each of you that you take twelve characteristics and once a month practice the understanding and application of a characteristic in your daily life. I would remind you of this challenge and encourage you to continue.

Before I came to your world, I was required to practice with a group of Urantians. However, it was not quite the same as actually being here, for these Urantians had already left the planet and spent many years on mansion worlds. Their training had substantially exceeded the mental and emotional status of most humans on this world. Nevertheless, the purpose of this exercise was to encounter those situations that may cause friction as well as harmony. It was interesting to hear the perspectives of some individuals as to how I should go about doing what I am doing. I perceive that my experience, for the most part, was most beneficial. However, I say for the most part because there is nothing quite like actually being here.

You do not understand yet, and this is understood. I will come to you throughout the course of the year and have in mind individuals who are in great need of spiritual help; and you, my friends, will help provide the energy. You will help provide the insight that will be able to revitalize these individuals so that in their consciousness the spirit within them will become more known. You will be able to serve the Father in many ways. Look forward to this opportunity, yet realize that there is work involved.

D: In discussing the mission with someone who was not in agreement with what was happening, we found ourselves in disagreement; yet there was a certain air of cordiality in the fellowship that still existed. I could feel myself reacting in the same old ways that I would when I would get into a situation and know that peak of emotionalism and try to be calm and listen to my guide tell me, and I really didn't hear any specific words come. Are we going to be able to listen to their words, or is it more of that they will be making heavy impressions on our mind and that will filter into our consciousness? It seems that when you are going through a very passionate discussion that it's very hard to attune yourself to the actual words of your guides.

Line 75: Line 75:  
W: You are correct in your assessment that if you are engaged in a very passionate discussion, you are more or less closing yourself off to any outside, or should I say, inside influence. It is not hopefully your intent to always become passionate, for as you know, many times the degree of argument is inversely proportionate to the truth contained.

As regards your question, do I hear the words and then speak them, or heavy impressioning, I would say that one of three things is more than likely to happen. Yes, you will hear certain words, or you will simply know of certain words and then speak them. You will get an intuitive impressioning which is a result of the impressing upon your mind a certain thought pattern.

Or you will experience on occasion something rather unique, which I believe most of you at one time or another have experienced. When you are speaking with someone, you seem to give them information, especially if we are referring to spiritual matters, that at the time, you're not really sure where this information is coming from. You know you believe it yourself, yet the words seem to just flow from you, after which you have reflected back and wonder how it was that you orchestrated the words in the manner in which you did, knowing that it seemed beautiful. This is a reaction to the leadings of both the spirit fragment as well as your guide.

It will not be so important to discuss the mission, per se. What will be important is to help the souls that you encounter gain an insight of God's love for them as individuals. This is what is so desperately lacking on your planet. It continues to amaze me, although this word is inadequate, that so many hungry souls on this planet do not feel worthy, do not feel accepted, do not understand the concept of God, as you and I are beginning to understand this concept.

Your religions have perpetuated and perpetrated upon the minds and souls of the Urantian mortals throughout time a God of anger, a God of control. It is not this way, as you and I understand. The God that we know is a God of pure love, unconditional love. This is not license to be or act irresponsibly. Actually, it is quite the contrary. The more you are dominated by love, the more responsible you become, for you realize you are in your relationship with you brothers and sisters as well your creator.

By work, as I mentioned earlier, it is just that. There is no easy street to the road of perfection. You will make mistakes throughout your entire career. However, a mistake can actually be turned into an opportunity to advance. As long as your motivation is based upon love and the desire to serve, then when you do err in judgment, no one will hold this against you.

W: You, through a lack of training, do not utilize your full potential in the arena of mind. There are certain abilities that are inheren within mortal will creatures, that once developed, can add significantly to your experiences beyond your regular sensing mechanisms. This is something that we hope that we can help you with in recognition thereof first, and in utilization secondly.

Do not misunderstand what I am telling you, please. I am not saying that you will all be telepathic in a few short weeks. (laughter) What I am telling you is that you have the potential to do this; and if you continue to work on the path that you have started and raise your energy levels through the feeling of the Father's love, then these things will..how will I say this...trigger within you and you may be able to communicate to those who are sympathetic on a vibrational level to receive your communications. You will not, more than likely, be able to possess the ability to channel the energy to those who are not also sensitive in the same way you are. It does not mean that they have to be consciously sensitive, but they do have to have a certain awareness in them of the "otherness", of God-ness, that is resident within them. Mary, does that help to further answer your inquiry?

M: Yes, it does. Going back to what you said about an awareness of "otherness" or God-ness within, you're talking about anyone who would want to develop this particular ability would first of all have to have basically a cosmic awareness, an awareness also of the Adjuster within us, correct?

I love each and every one of you as though I had now spent many, many years with you. I have come to know you very well. Is it not so with anyone that you love that you only want what is best for them? And when you see that they are in need of help, do you not do that which you can in order to help them?

I will say as clearly as I can to you now, my friends, proper exercise and diet is essential in the full conscious awareness and utilization of spiritual energy. It is necessary to have a balance on the physical, mental and spiritual levels in order to achieve true Adjuster-conscious communication. Does that suffice?

However, we must live in the world as we find it, it this not true? Therefore, even though you are ingesting certain amounts of toxins, and even though sometimes these toxins may accumulate to a point where it creates a dis-ease within the body that is beyond repair, for the most part if you do your best in eating those food groups which sustain an healthy immune system, exercise to release certain chemicals in the body that will also sustain the immune system, and enhance the spiritual progress that you are making as well as stimulating your mind, these factors combined with the love of the Father flowing through you will prove to be a mighty influence upon your overall well-being and your ability to receive and transmit information.

Is that something that people should be concerned with or is it just something that doesn't go anywhere or mean anything?

However, your planet will not perish. This is, after all, the world of Michael.

I have found this to be a most effective technique, not only on this planet but throughout my part of my ascension career, especially when I am dealing with those who are not as experienced as I. It seems to work. You might consider this. Do you understand what I mean?

A: This is something that I want you all to practice, for it is going to be most important in the future as you engage in this mission, to learn about others. Let them do the expressing. You be the healer, be the listener. Once again, our Master was an excellent example of one who ministers to the poor of spirit, the weak-hearted, those who really do need the guidance. Most of his time was spent listening, not speaking. Many souls have been healed by simply allowing them to be expressed in a way that the one listening is not condescending, judgmental or at all negative.

Do not be afraid to talk about yourself or ask questions about yourself. By this I mean if you find an individual that you feel is hurting, ask them for their help with a situation you are faced with. Let them be the one who at first is the stronger, who is giving the advice, who is being the healer. Then take something from their comments and be able to, in time, manipulate back to them so that they may become more self-reflective and actually realize that the answer to their question is similar to the answer to your question. Ultimately, in my opinion, most all questions of a spiritual nature will revert back to God and your relationship with Him. As you teacher said earlier, it is quite amazing to all of us that there is such a poor attitude, poor conceptual framework that humans have in regards to their relationship to the Creator. This will do more to heal the souls and minds and bodies of Urantians than anything else.

There are no particular questions that I can give you that you don't already have. What is required of you is application, which leads me to one of the points that I wish to make. In order for this group to be strong, you must interact more on a whole-hearted spiritual level. Continue your efforts to learn about each other, to tolerate each other and to communicate with each other. There is much strength within the group; whereas if we fragment, we will lose some of this strength. Your teacher, from the very first communication, has prayed that the group will remain strong and as one. So far, it pleases us all to see that you have been able to accomplish this. Do not let this go. It is most important, not only as a group, but for you as individuals.

Welmek mentioned briefly about the vibrational level that is generated within a group as you focus on worship and prayer. While these concepts are most difficult for us to explain to you because you have no frame of reference to really conceptualize what we say, I can tell you that as you become more adept at group worship, you literally create a harmony that resonates throughout space. It is recognizable by any spiritual being who understands this process. It actually is something which can be heard by us as well as seen. It is very beautiful, it is very pleasing to our sense of hearing. Once again, our sensing mechanisms are far superior to yours, so this is difficult to explain.

A: I was asked to say a few words about what will happen as the group becomes "tuned" as one. Specifically, my role in helping your group will be focused more in the area of healing. Once again, imagine this energy tuned as one, amplified as such, sent out to an individual. You will help us substantially, for you are able to channel energy just as we are able to channel energy.

Our goal has been and remains to be that which is first to help you attune yourself with the spirit of God within. In addition to that, we also want to be able to help you recognize the full potential within your beings. In order to do this, this planet needs to be made healthy. We hope you will be able to do this if you follow our instruction. You see, we are not permitted to do all of this ourselves. You must do the majority of the work yourself.

There is much which you do not yet perceive in the initial discussion that I and Mary were engaged with. I want you to review these transcripts and I would suggest that you have much conversation about the areas that I was trying to get her focused in. I believe that as you understand more of this, it will become apparent to you why I chose this course and how important it is.

Once again, it is not for us to give you all of the information, for at times we do, and nothing happens with it anyway. We find that what seems to work most beneficially is when you, in your own way, come to an understanding. It's as though, as you say, the light goes on. It is also human nature that people do support what they create, or at least believe they create; and therefore, it is important for us sometimes to take an approach of giving a framework to think within and then allow you to follow that framework to come to your own conclusions.

But the deficiency of human interaction is many times, there is no action beyond the conclusions drawn. This is critical. This you must do. You must follow through. It is one thing to think it through. It is another thing to then act upon those thoughts. Somewhat like a maze, is it not? For you are given things that tempt you to think about, yet not always given conclusions. Is there anyone else who would like to respond to my initial question of the priority or goal of this group?

L: I think the priority of this group is what you pretty much said a minute ago, to learn what you're teaching us and to apply it. But I think we have to first in some respects apply it within our group and our own immediate nucleus before we can try to share the teachers with others effectively. To help be an impetus to stir others to think and seek the same kinds of things we are seeking through our teachings. And by that inner network..we can see a big web of relationships, networks, and not like a string of relationships. I think that's where each individual can play such an important role, in the inner connections of those webs, cris-crossing over. I thin that's where the overall planetary change will come.

A: And I agree. It is important that we begin this now. I believe your teacher is wise in starting this far out of the time of the materialization. You do not realize yet how important your teacher is to the overall mission. His lessons are read by many, and he is well-respected. You are his students. You are his friends. You are the ones who attend these meetings weekly and experience him to a more or less personal extent. You will be called upon during this time of visitation to recount your experiences, your hopes and your dreams.

WELMEK: This is Welmek. Please take a moment and give me your impressions of what has been said tonight, individually. Please try to be concise, for time is short; and there are many gathered. But unless you do not wish to respond, I would call upon each of you to give a few thoughts as to your perceptions of our information. Let's begin with Bob.

L: I just think there's a lot of work to be done. When I think of even tasks at home, I think about how like washing the dishes, if you do it alone or take turns, you get it done and it's shared; but I think at times if you share it with somebody, it makes the work seem lighter. It's almost fun and there's support and companionship. I kind of look at the group that way. I look at our tasks in that fashion, and our job won't seem so huge at any one time.

You're talking about tolerance a lot, and I guess I feel more comfortable thinking about it in terms of acceptance, kind of bridging the differences in understanding rather than just tolerating and recognizing that each person is an individual and has their own will and respecting that, I guess. We can see behaviors in others, but we don't know, we don't understand what's behind that behavior unless we take the time to get to know that. I think a lot of times it's surprising when you do that to find out what's really behind there; and many times the differences melt away. They really don't exist. There's really common ground where you think there's differences.

I think that just goes along with recognizing that we're brothers and sisters. I think that's where we get into a problem in this world with people being competitive rather than combining efforts. I guess what Steve said about our results being increased by combining our efforts.

For myself, people were talking about it's easier to function sometimes within the group than outside; and I think sometimes when something is very important to me, I sometimes have more fear at making mistakes than something I see as less risky, and so I find myself (?)

L: I can't add anything to all of this that hasn't already been said. I guess my impression is to keep re-dedicating ourselves to what we have been learning and discussing here so we can better serve our Father's will, learning to grow not only individually but as a group, where we can share the importance of all we have grown to learn.

Line 395: Line 395:  
M: I was thinking of the idea that it's not so much in our words with other people that will have an effect upon them. What is stressed is that the worship and the prayer and all the things you're teaching, the point is to allow more of the Father's love to flow through us; and that's what will have an effect upon other people. And I sense that so far we've really be focusing that on our individual selves in trying to learn to bring that about within ourselves.

Now it's time to maybe elevate our consciousness and begin to focus that more upon each other in the group, because if people come into this group and they see us being unkind to each other or backbiting or the other typical types of group behavior, what then is to make them think this group is any better or any different than any other?

So I think we have to begin to take this concept of feeling the Father's love within ourselves and to expand that and begin to show that to each other and to work harder at being responsible to make this group the loving entity that we're trying to make each of ourselves individually.

T: I guess whenever I think about it overall, it takes me back to God, to our Father; and I think of Him as in a light that shines in all the universes, that holds all of us together. When I think of us as a group and the need for us to work together and to stick together and to be together, that makes me think of a light that shines. As our love grows, then the light grows stronger, then our light touches other people and brings in more light until I think of it as a light that grows and shines. It's a wonderful thought for that to spread and be over this entire planet.

S: I think that the class tonight was very interesting and inspirational. I was impressed with the tremendous importance of worship in our daily lives, and I feel that we are about to approach a new, higher phase of spirituality, formulating and intensifying the bonds of love between us and learning more of how to project this into our actions in our daily lives.

G: I think as the group strives to become God-loving and doing the will of the Father, that each individual is going to grow that much faster, rather than trying to go out an do it on his own.

Next week, who will serve as the moderator? Better yet, may I select someone? Is this agreeable?....Somehow, I thought you would agree.  (Laughter) I select Bob and the topic is going to be "Feeling God's Love." Only this time, we are going to ask each of you to recount an experience you have had in your life whereby you have felt the presence of God within you and shared it with another individual. I  would like for you to think deeply on this and even if possible be able to share the impact of this relationship. Beyond that, I will allow Bob to do as he wishes in formulating or structuring the meeting.

In conclusion, I want to re-emphasize our love for you. You do not know us yet as we know you, but that will change in the not-too- distant future. I know you love me and I appreciate that; but as you get to know me better, I believe your understanding will enlarge your capacity for knowing and loving as mine has been enlarged by knowing you.

In conclusion I wish that we all stand again. We will worship as we did before. However, this time I want you to feel God's love within you and then allow yourself to be a sponge absorbing this love. Once you feel that the love has swelled within you, then simply radiate this love toward the other members in this group. I believe you will find this exercise to be most interesting and stimulating.
