Let us begin with our prayer. 'The presence of God surrounds us. The power of God protects us. The love of God enfolds us, and wherever we are He is with us, to guide us and protect us and ever light our way into the darkness of our fears. To banish all of our anxiety so that His love is a platform from which we may ascend'.

===Lesson===

Our lesson today is on patience and opportunity. Patience requiring us to wait for direction is sometimes difficult for those who are accustomed to seizing the reigns and taking control of each situation in which they find themselves participating. The participation in this mission is an opportunity to view this tendency, and to wait for direction rather than take control. How often are we standing at the crossroads of our lives and valiantly proclaim that this is the way, and yet are unsure of the direction in which we have pointed, and designated ourselves the leader. When in reality we are hopeful that the choices we have made are the correct ones. When you are in the service of the Father all responsibility for right and wrong have been removed. Even though the path may seem rocky there is a surety of the direction in which you are headed . A calmness that will accompany you upon your path. If adversity is encountered it rolls off of your back like water off of a duck, and your fellows among you would indeed proclaim that this indeed is a rocky road to travel.

The patience required is one of the attributes of the quiet time that is practiced daily in this mission. This quiet, patient practice of waiting and divorcing yourself from your immediate surroundings and physical bodies requires a state in which a calmness is encountered. Patience is an attribute of this state. This familiar posture will often be called upon in days ahead in which the silent prayers for direction will be heard.

We were remiss in our practice of transmitting last week, and I fully intend to continue this practice as part our weekly procedure. So let us relax and remain calm and listen for the impressions received... Let us begin.

JOHN: My friends this is Bertrand. It is a joy for me to be with you. To share with you. To share with Jarel. To see your faces. To experience your growth. To feel your spirits. I have recently been assigned larger duties in the teaching mission. I have visited many classes throughout Urantia. It is my responsibility to continue their growth, and their continued direction toward each's ultimate goal. The goal of bringing Light and Life to Urantia. I strongly encourage your gatherings. I strongly encourage your participation with others. I strongly encourage your sharing with each other your experiences in your individual missions. Faith is spoken of as being most necessary in attaining your goals. Without faith all is empty. All work is superficial. By experiencing this 'faith leap' you are making possible a level of growth in the spirit kingdom managed only by a few in your past history. Continue. I will be present at many of your meetings and will help to assist Jarel and each of your individual teachers in their work with you. I thank you for this opportunity to address you at this time.

HAL: This is Jarel. We are extremely fortunate to have these distinguished visitors and guests today. For those who are striving for transmitting will need our lesson for today, patience and opportunities. Be patient in searching for the stillness, then seek the opportunity when it is there. Continue in your efforts in your stillness to practice your receiving impressions and expressing them. Again I encourage each one to practice, and let go, and learn the transmitting technic. Again we are extremely fortunate to have these visitors today.

BETTY (Jarel) Thank you dear ones for your efforts and your loyaL participation. Let me comfort you. Let me tell you that what will be asked of you will not be beyond your abilities, and even though faith will be required you will be certain of assistance near. It is not the purpose of this mission to cause anxiety or frustration. Remember Christ Michael himself, your brother, your creator, your Father prince is the administrator of this mission, and He knows well what He is asking of each of you. You will be required to show patience and know that each day you are being prepared for whatever He will ask of you. It is important that you anticipate each day an opportunity to witness the experiences to another if it is presented to you. This may be only in your thoughts. This may be an acknowledgment to your self that indeed you understand the plight of that one who is sharing with you. It has been your growth as well. It is not intended that you immediately witness to these friends that come to you to share their burdens. Within each one there will be a time for this to occur. But let us begin by understanding. By silently remembering in our own hearts when we too were struggling with these things. Watch what will be understood, what will be in focus for the fragment of the Father. The word is but a vibration of this 'knowing'. So let us relax and enjoy the attention that will be given us in the next few weeks in preparation for our next adventure.

This is a wonderful occasion and we are pleased to be of service, and to be chosen to be the teacher of such beautiful spirits. We have encountered much joy these past months of being in your presence, and being called upon to administer to your needs. This is a wonderful opportunity to serve Christ Michael and to advance my own spiritual path. This 'old one' is grateful. Let each of us remember our brothers and sisters who are not with us this day. Let us continue to give thanksgiving to those who have difficulties. Let us pray for a world of peace. Let us pray for those who are in pain and suffering, that they will be relieved of their sorrow and encounter the love of the Father thru the administration of love.
