	Carlsen  (Jack TR):  Hello, our students, this is Carlsen.  Tonight in the
conversation
there was a subject brought up in regards of remodeling (remolding) your
lives.  In reality, this is
what has happened to each one of you in your efforts to be the ones that
believe the words that
are brought to you in the text and of us, your teachers speaking to each
one, bringing the truth that
you know is the truth so you can comprehend the meanings of the words that
are written and also
spoken.
	When you, as an individual mortal, gave your freewillingness to be a part
of this manner
of teaching, that was the very day and moment that the remodeling of your
life began.  There is
much that takes place in the sense of remodeling.  First, there is the
foundation that you must
consider, so it will be strong enough and permanent enough to base your
building blocks on top
of one another.  This foundation has to be strong enough to withstand the
years that will come and
go in your receiving the words of truth and also in your everyday life to
withstand the punishment
that the foundation will take when it comes to abusing that which is so
permanently there for you
to build on and work with.
	Yes, and there have been many obstacles and dissatisfactions and other
things that have
been presented to you and the groups, but when you willingly gave us the
permission to be as we
are, your life changed, as you might say, overnight.  In some cases, it's
taken longer, and some it
has taken but a short time.  Regardless of the fact, when you started
rebuilding your life, you
began from the beginning and advanced  to where you are now with the
understanding of what we
say and those things that are written so you can read and learn.  It is
through this learning process
that you put one block of your willingness on top of another, so you can
build your thoughts and
energy and motivation in the spiritual light of our Father and His Son.  So,
this was really the
beginning of your new life.
	You have cast aside the old idea of believing, and now you are molding your
life in the
respects of our Savior and in the new teaching that He has brought forth to
enlighten you in the
way of righteousness and in the way of love and understanding of all those
individuals that are
within this Mission and those that are not.
	But your love -- I speak spiritually -- has grown by leaps and bounds to
encompass all
those individual mortals that you may, and will, come in contact with in the
future.  Even though
they may not be a part of this Mission, that doesn't stop them from seeking
the truths that you are
learning in the rebuilding of your life.
	When you started out on this adventure of remodeling, there were some
things that came
about, and each one of those incidents has given you another idea of what
you want to build on
and search for.  It is your idea of wanting to build a good, sturdy house
that our Savior can enter
and be a part of you and those that you may come in contact with.  Your
doors in this remodeling
will always be open, not only to those that believe, but to those that come
to you and seek the
light that you will cast, because you, and you alone, gave up your
willingness of your own free
will to take part in this remodeling that is taking place.  So, your hearts
and souls can dwell within
this place with the comfort of knowing that our Savior and His Father are
there also, listening to
each one in the conversation that each one may have with their Inner Man or
with us, your
teachers, so They can get a better idea of how to bring your remodeling
project to the finishing
point, so all will be well and done.
	But at each step of the remodeling you will encounter different ideas and
different
obstacles.  These obstacles and different ideas are there for you to
contemplate and work out the
best answer to enrich your way of thinking and give you more energy and
motivation to finish the
project that each one of you has set out to do.  Each one of you, with your
attempts to gain more
spirituality, is no more than putting one more board in this building that
you are attempting to put
together.  This building that you are constructing will be the tabernacle of
your soul and heart to
give your Master and His Father a place to dwell and be a part of this
remodeling that you are
undergoing.
	Your thoughts have changed dramatically in the past few years, because you
have dwelt
on thoughts of different subjects, not only what we have brought to you, but
other thoughts that
you may have had in your own personal way of believing.  These have taught
you many lessons,
and you have come out on top with a high score, because you have
accomplished those things that
you set out to do when you began your project in building that place, so
that Everyone that we
cherish so much can dwell within each of you.
	You cannot imagine the goodness that you have given us and especially to
Those that
rest on High, to come to you and know that They can enter your house and be
received with open
arms and great love for Both.  This is welcoming Them as though They have
been out there
searching for you as you have searched for Them.  Now They have a place to
dwell within each
one of you.  With smiles on their faces They have accepted your invitations
because of the
willingness and free will that you have given Them to dwell in your house
that you have built for
Them.
	The idea of you giving your freewillingness is a major step in all of you,
because it has
not been but the last few years of your time that you really realized what
it was and what it meant
to say, "Here I am.  I am your servant.  Your wish is my command."  Yes, it
has meant a whole lot
to all that are concerned because of your abilities and your wants and your
desires to be as you
are in the service of our Lord and Master.
	You each have come a long way in your attempts to understand and be what
we, your
teachers, often dream about in our students that we come to each time that
we are together and
speak of different things.  It gives joy to our hearts to know that our
students understand and want
to be as we are in our world where everything that has been promised is
there for you to take hold
of in your seeking of higher planes of education and increasing your
righteousness through the
schools that each one attends as you walk the road of life that you are now
trodding.
	But each experience that you have with these steps that you take in life
will influence
your abilities when you reach our world because of the knowledge that each
one received when
you were a mortal as you are now.  So, take the experience you have and
improve on what has
come about in the past, so that will enhance your knowledge that follows you
when you reach our
world and become a part of that world.  The truth and happiness in the
knowledge that you gain
now will ever be with you through the long ascension careers that each one
of you will be taking
part in in the future.
	I would like to say to all of you that, as far as I am concerned, I have a
great respect and
devotion for this group that I am now associated with.  I thank each one of
you for letting me say
the few words that I have spoken.  I hope I have, in some way, encouraged
you to keep going in
the way you feel and believe.  Do not let other thoughts try to detour you
from the way you think 
and pray and believe this very day.
	With this, my students, I will call it a day and wish each one of you a
peaceful, restful
night, so you will have the energy and know-how for tomorrow's chores that
will be.  With this I
will say farewell to all.
