Greetings dear students and fellows. How often I have said," How pleased I am to be in your midst, to be in your bright countenances this day. It is equally so and I am pleased to share with you the mission of Christ Michael. How pleased I am to be your teacher and guide to this ever expanding mission of enlightenment to bring about Light and Life and salvation to a planet that has heretofore been in darkness. That is an honor for me and all others who had volunteer for his call to be able to participate with you, the ascending mortals of Urantia. So happy are we to offer to you what we know in the way of knowledge to help in the spiritual development of your ascension careers.

Yes, we perceive your numerous questions, but prior to that we wish to share with you a small observation or lesson. Before coming into the knowledge of this teaching mission you, the mortals of Urantia, literally walked in darkness. Darkness represents the absence of light, light is necessary to see your path, to know where you are going, and to light that path of any obstacles or hazards that would prevent you reaching your destination. There is in the bible, when Christ Michael walked with you here on Urantia, the story of a healing that came about when he came upon a man that was blind from birth. The master in his compassion, after answering his apostles questions of who did sin, did mix spittle with the earth and formed clay. He applied this mixture to the eyes of the man and commanded him to go and wash. The man did so and gained his sight. This event is recorded.

Yes, we [[perceive]] your numerous [[questions]], but prior to that we wish to share with you a small observation or lesson. Before coming into the [[knowledge]] of this [[teaching mission]] you, the [[mortals]] of Urantia, literally walked in [[darkness]]. Darkness represents the [[absence]] of [[light]], light is [[necessary]] to see your [[path]], to know where you are going, and to light that path of any [[obstacles]] or hazards that would prevent you reaching your destination. There is in the [[bible]], when Christ [[Michael]] walked with you here on Urantia, the story of a [[healing]] that came about when he came upon a [[164:3 Healing the Blind Beggar|man that was blind from birth]]. [[The Master]] in his [[compassion]], after answering his [[apostles]] questions of who did [[sin]], did mix spittle with the [[earth]] and formed clay. He applied this mixture to the eyes of the man and [[commanded]] him to go and wash. The man did so and gained his [[sight]]. This [[event]] is [[recorded]].[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_John#Chapter_9]

Also this event has an allegorical lesson. You, dear mortals of this sphere, were like this man, blind from birth having never seen with the eyes. You dear mortals, like this man have set and longed for vision, clarity of insight, guidance. The master in His mercy and compassion has come and revealed himself to you. He has from His mouth given you that substance that will open your eyes, so that you may see the surroundings and guide yourselves thru this existence. It was something that came from His mouth mixed with the earth that produced the clay that gave this man his sight. Likewise it is something that has come from His mouth in the form of the text that mixes with the dirt of this earth, that means the substance that you were created from, the spittle mixed with the dirt and became clay.

Also this [[event]] has an [[allegorical]] lesson. You, dear [[mortals]] of this sphere, were like this man, [[blind]] from [[birth]] having never seen with the eyes. You dear [[mortals]], like this man have set and longed for [[vision]], [[clarity]] of [[insight]], [[guidance]]. [[The Master]] in His [[mercy]] and [[compassion]] has come and [[revealed]] himself to you. He has from His mouth given you that substance that will open your eyes, so that you may see the [[surroundings]] and guide yourselves thru this [[existence]]. It was something that came from His mouth mixed with the earth that produced the clay that gave this man his sight. Likewise it is something that has come from His mouth in the form of [[the text]] that mixes with the [[dirt]] of this earth, that means the substance that you were created from, the [[spittle]] mixed with the [[dirt]] and became [[clay]].

The teachings of the text are mixing with your nature which is one of advancement. Your nature encompasses a sincere desire for righteous living and spiritual growth so the two are compatible the same as the spittle and the dirt. If you will apply this mixture to your heart and minds and bathe in the love and the countenance of the Father thru seeking the stillness daily you too will have the vision and be able to see your surroundings and guide yourselves throughout. Allow the nature in which you were created to advance thru the knowledge of the text.

This mission sees itself as the pool with which you may wash the darkness from your eyes. Sitting in this setting you are privy to enlightenment thru your efforts in seeking the stillness. We, your teachers, do not set ourselves above you, as we have reiterated again, and again. We once walked in darkness also and the light of truth has shown upon us. We are upon our paths towards ascension and enlightenment and have been given the opportunity to share with you our experience and knowledge and hope that you will take what is good from this and it apply to your path, thus assisting you on your path and ascension career.

Often for those of us who have experienced much tend to forget how difficult it is for mortals to come in full faith. But faith is essential to your growth. The man in the parable had faith, not in the master, but in the belief system of that time, though his faith had increased to encompass the truth of the master. We view your faith in this mission and see you come together faithfully dedicated to increasing your belief and moving in a direction upon your path. Your faith is evident, the opportunity to serve is here for you as it is for us. We serve together, you and I, in the mission of Christ Michael. So it is with this understanding that we embark this day upon our renewed efforts to increase your understanding of the text and its mission.
