[Editor's note] Lori recently returned from an art show in Philadelphia, PA,
and read a message from her personal teacher to the group.  It was decided
to include this message in this transcript 
  											                       
Lori (reading Alturn's message): Good morning my dear Lori. How good it is
to be home again. I feel it, too. We had some connections in Philadelphia
and I will confirm, yes, you were hearing your TA clearly at the show, on
the streets, and in the airport. The cruelness of the big city brings new
challenges to you. It is difficult when your senses are overcharged with
threatening and strong stimulus. You made it, and had some truly pure
interactions. You spread more love and reached more people far and wide than
usual. There were very few negative moments in your booth and throughout
your experience. This helps to feel good about the trip and you made true
progress both spiritually and professionally. You were God-conscious much of
the time and it was not a coincidence people would stop and turn back to
share their story with you. You had hundreds of true exchanges and you gave
your love freely. You put your faith in God many, many times. True growth
occurred. 

You may have expected to be drained emotionally but instead you find you
were charged. This is the result of being open and ready to exchange love.
True, in this mode you are ready to receive hurt, too. But when you are
guided by God and are not indulged in personal emotional gain, you transcend
beyond the pain another may be discharging and feel remorse for your
sibling. You again give love in return. This is a beautiful reaction and one
we hope to see many more of your earthly siblings experience. As I have been
relating to you my dear, all you do is integrated, woven deeply together. It
is not in clean and separate little categories you can open and close as you
like. Your life is made up of what you do and you are given a chance to
serve at every level during each moment. This is just the beginning for you,
my friend. You are existentially working on a creation that will carry you
beyond this realm and reveal itself through the ages.

Machiventa(Bill): Greetings my dear children, this is Machiventa
Melchizedek, your Planetary Prince. As is my habit, I attend as many
meetings of this mortal Corp of the Reservists so that I may observe and
rejoice with your instructors and residents, your devoted teachers, as we
observe your morontial awakening. For you see, the soul being a morontial
entity, your true self, is growing and developing while you are yet in
mortal estate. This is the experience on a normal planet in the early stages
and later stages of light and life. You sense that your conversation has
multiple levels of meaning moving from everyday normal chit-chat to issues
of greatest import. Your sense of being fed, of having your thirst slacked,
is real. And yes, you do experience rest in this process. 

My orders from our universe sovereign, Christ Michael, enjoin me to give all
encouragement to the efforts of every God-seeking mortal on this planet,
Urantia.  So, in fact, this is being expedited in every way. Of course, we
are completely supportive and wonderfully enthusiastic to see the degree of
alignment that you are learning with your Indweller, the presence of God,
within your minds. I realize that your society looks askance at claims to
being in touch with Deity, as so often these kinds of statements have issued
from a life of fanaticism.  But, my friends, on a normal planet this would
not be a laughing matter nor a matter for psychiatric intervention. It would
be the majority experience. 

When you gather together and speak the truth at the deepest level it shows
that you have achieved a sense of security, a depth of compassion, and a
sturdiness of trust in each other. That is, in fact, the experience of
advanced worlds who have not experienced rebellion. My statements are meant
to tell you that the dawn is not merely a slight perceptual change in the
amount of darkness to become lightened. No, it has moved from that distant
perspective right into your very midst! You are experiencing light and life
in its beginning; and as Lori has so beautifully shared, you are all
learning to  become more God-conscious. When you speak the truth to each
other without any degree of falsehood, without the shadow of a hair's
turning, you are safe. For you are communicating soul to soul, Thought
Adjuster to Thought Adjuster. 

This transformation that you have experienced, which is ongoing for you is
also happening in many places throughout this world. The circuits are
connected. We are back fully instated in the constellation. The nightmare of
the ages has ended. Thank you for your loving dedication to doing the will
of our Father on Paradise, and our father/brother, Michael, and mother,
Nebadonia, here in their universe. I am pleased to be associated with such
stalwart mortals as you are.   Indeed, you are the spiritual seed of
Abraham, children of faith, whose destiny is to multiply and become like the
stars of heaven. And so it shall be on Urantia. Good evening.

Daniel(Bill): I am Daniel. My joy is overflowing this evening as I sit here
in your midst. I am thrilled to see the kind of progress that you are
making. You have indeed surpassed my expectations many times. You are
becoming to each other most effective teachers. And this is exactly what our
Melchezidek school was hoping would occur.  It is our prime objective to
provide an emergency ministry and mission to this planet in the place of its
defaulted and rebellious administrators thereby to bring into reality the
correction, the redemption, and the transformation of this world. 

I am not saying that you no longer need to hear from us, your teachers and
mentors. I am saying that you  have achieved a level of sharing which is not
ego-based. You are not interested in winning arguments or  persuading other
people to think as you do; but you are, with true spiritual democracy, on
equal eye level, sharing your souls' experience one with another. This TR is
tired and his voice is shaking. I will allow for a period of questions,
briefly, and then we will close our time off today. Here with me are also
all of your personal teachers, your Melchizedek in residence, teacher Aaron;
and there are others as well. I heard a question but I was still speaking.
Please offer your comments again.

Nancy: Yes, Daniel.  I'm sorry for interrupting you.  My question is to
Machiventa as it was stimulated by something Machiventa said in connection
with an experience I had last night.   I am certainly willing to have you,
Daniel, answer it or any person there.

Machiventa said that we need to speak soul to soul in perfect honesty, that
you are safe, is, I think, what I heard.  I am wanting to hear more about
that.  What I am wondering is do both people's souls have to be willing to
speak in total honesty to be perfectly safe?   Here is the intent of my
question...Can an individual, I, for instance, speak in perfect honesty with
somebody who is not open to what I have to say and be perfectly safe?  I
know that we are perfectly safe with God, that nothing can happen in
eternity, but I was just really struck last night by a situation in which I
thought I experienced a very beautiful sharing of self, and I was touched by
it.  Other people were very judgmental of it and I thought they judged the
person harshly.  I suddenly felt very vulnerable because I see myself as
being open very often and have thought of my openness as being a positive
trait.  But I am realizing that there is probably lots of judgment that goes
on.  So that is the context of my question and my reason for asking it.

Daniel(Bill): The statement that in sharing soul to soul you are perfectly
safe was in reference to this context here in which each person has chosen
to follow God's will. To suggest that you can be open and honest with
everyone or anyone is erroneous for you need to know the level of
discernment of your listener, of your person in conversation.  If you talk
about things, experiences, values and beliefs which are so foreign to them,
they will either be intimidated or they could be persuaded that you are not
mentally stable..and there could be other reactions. 

Jesus was a master in many ways including the way that he could tell to what
degree a person was open to truth. He did not talk with some people at all
for they were not ready to hear his words. So the meaning of that statement
was in fact an affirmation of the sharing level that occurred tonight and
was partly for the benefit of this TR who, I am told, had no intention of
sharing his phobia, but because of the safety, his soul was free to speak.

Ken: Daniel, I have a question. Do we have time?

Daniel(Bill):  Go ahead, my friend.

Ken: As you know, there is a friend that asked a question of a statement in
"The Center Within" and I would like to read what he is asking. "Teacher
Will says, when you pray, you show the father exactly where you are and
provide him with information that he could not gain any other way. The
question is, 'This statement appears to be counter to the perception that
the Father is all knowing. What is it that the Father does not know and how
can this be achieved only through prayer?'"

Daniel(Bill): This question addresses the whole concept of experiential
Deity on the level of Supremacy, Ultimacy, and possibly experientially
Absolute. It is like asking the great 'I AM' what need did he have to create
the perfect universe of Havona  around the perfect Isle of Paradise and what
need did he have to facilitate and authorize the evolutionary universes so
that God the Supreme could evolve? To answer this question fully and
adequately would require a reply from the First Source and Center himself.
However, we can speculate.
I agree with teacher Will in that there is a knowledge born of experience
which is unique and different from other kinds of knowledge. For example,
one may read many articles on the experience of flying in an airplane, but
the actually life experience of flying in a real airplane is so much greater
and more complete that while mind can imagine, from information in one's
memory banks of similar sorts of things, what it might be like to fly,
still, there is nothing that can be substituted for the reality of the
experience itself. 

Obviously, God has many reasons for creating space-time finite level
reality. It is of the nature of love to share; and the Father, the Son and
the Spirit, one Deity, are the Authors of that love. Sharing is a two-way
street.  You mortals know the pleasure of the reciprocal relationship that
you have with children who know virtually nothing of life's experiences and
yet enrich your life with their presence, their questions, their behavior
and their lovely personalities. In prayer men and women express their true
soul's desires. The Father, through his Fragments within each person,
experiences that soul's identity and nature, even as parents experience  the
identity and nature of their children. This is only an approximate,
speculative answer, perhaps; but at the risk of sounding arrogant, I will
say that there is no substitute for experience, even for God! This is my answer.

Ken: Thank you Daniel.  I thank those present for giving  Isaac the voice to
speak this evening. That was a very thoughtful answer. A very loving answer.
Thank you.

Bill (Daniel) Actually Ken, this is not a foolish question. We often discuss
these sorts of things on the levels above mortality. So while we have more
experience than you, we must always qualify this sort of speculation. But of
one thing we are sure. We know the universe of universes exists because of
the love of God.  Of that love may we all draw on freely; and it is our
greatest joy to share with others.  

On this note I do believe this evening has reached its fulfillment. I thank
you for your pure desire to follow the leading of your divine Pilot within.
I love you all very much. I am a most proud teacher and elder brother. In
behalf of all the staff here, all the hard-working teachers who work with
you and love you, I say, "Let love answer all your questions." Good evening.
