Date: October 6, 2001
Location: Spokane, WA
T/R: Gerdean
Teachers: Tomas, Daniel and Gorman
Topics: Spirit workers, fear vs. faith.  

TOMAS: Good afternoon.  I am Tomas, your friend, companion, teacher, 
counselor, guide and general all-around cheerleader, and this evening I get 
to play the role of emcee.  It's a favorite role of mine for I get to 
introduce other entities and let them hold forth, allowing me to sit back in 
my musing and observe techniques of other teachers in this Mission.  Everyone 
knows Daniel, however, and so he needs no introduction, but I will, even so, 
introduce him as our guest and bid him welcome.

DANIEL: Good afternoon, friends.  I am Daniel, your visiting teacher for the 
afternoon.  What a privilege to be in this Mission, this effort to make 
contact with mortals and through relationship by association lift us all up 
into a greater comprehension of the greatness of God and His manifold 
creations.  Along with you, we behold your planetary outworking and are 
amazed and enthralled by the Mystery Monitors at work in the many minds of 
the many mortals who are most immediately impacted by the drama of evolution 
unfolding.  

It is certainly a credit to the actual humans who enlist in these cataclysmic 
events, and while we are certainly mindful of the impact their sudden 
disappearance from the face of the earth has on their loved ones and those 
remaining, we are impressed here in this realm also by the many spirit 
workers who have rushed to the aid of those impacted by this chaos so 
recently impressed upon your world, in particular in the events of September 
11th.  

The reports of God's being very busy that day are well-founded and well 
documented in the archives as to how many seraphim were called to the scene 
to embrace the souls of those thousands who were lost and the midwayers have 
been assigned overtime duty (not unwilling participants by any means) and are 
engaged in the most astounding episodes of heroism and valor in duty as we 
have seen.  

When we were advised that Urantia would be the scene of our assignment, and 
while we rushed to the opportunity to serve on a rebellion-scarred world, and 
while we were honored to be chosen to serve on the world of Michael's seventh 
and final bestowal, we were not mindful of how much we would be shown in 
terms of our co-ordinates and associates on assignment or on duty here as a 
matter of course in their own destiny path.  

What I am saying is a way of underscoring your own emotional appreciation for 
the tremendous spirit actualization which has taken place, affected by the 
cause and effect of human evolution.  God is wondrous indeed, and how amazing 
it is to see His attributes in effect in His many creatures as they swarm to 
be of service and uphold the ideals of brotherhood in the face of such 
calamity.  It truly transcends regional beliefs and attitudes and attains 
universal truths, ideals worthy of note and worthy of fostering into a finite 
reality which reflects the infinite in its ideal, even as you in your spheres 
reach for the ideal and seek to hold it, capture it as a tribute to the 
realization of the kingdom ideals reflected in your own reality "on earth as 
it is in heaven."

Keep balancing your perspective of world conditions with the spiritizing 
perceptions of the celestial helpers.  Whether they are the teachers in the 
Teacher Corp, of which you are familiar, or whether they are psychic teachers 
from other movements, the voices of angels as are perceived by the general 
populace, and even to the fairies and elementals of nature spirits that seek 
to reflect the infusion of the Infinite Spirit into all of her creation.  
Give as much support to spirit reality as you dare.  

In many ways this is a springboard catapulting millions into the fourth 
dimension that has found favor in their consciousness because of the 
tremendous audacity of the harbingers of fear.  It is indeed a hail to their 
own faith.  This faith needs to be cultivated and activated and actualized, 
even if it is incorrect according to your book-learning, your scholastics, 
your intellectualizations.  

These people have had a real and permanent emotional impact sufficient to 
stir their spirit consciousness and if any of you have been asking for divine 
intervention, I hope you can see that this can be construed as divine 
intervention in that it is an event that was evidently allowed to take place 
in order for the lessons of cause and effect to be introduced to your world 
at this time and give rise to greater spirit awareness, greater 
God-consciousness of its inhabitants.  No, you cannot say, "Daniel said God 
brought this on."  No.  The act is ours, the consequences God's, and I simply 
wanted to convey to you today how obvious God's work is from my vantage 
point.  

I have seen the service fields flooded with living waters.  What a glorious 
opportunity to behold divinity in action.  And all of you whose hearts are 
impressed and touched by compassion and concern, whose minds are focused on a 
wise solution for world-wide peace, those of you who look to the further 
growth of the Supreme without delay, without stumbling over yet another 
global war, your energies also are in the realm of those spirits which we 
admire as being exemplary of the attitude of the Master who would bless the 
peacemakers and the meek.

You, too, will be astounded and amazed at the innocence of your brothers, 
your mortal associates who even without benefit of revelation, will seek to 
put their faith into action by being of good cheer and espousing a future 
safe, hopeful, joy-filled, prosperous and plentiful for all humanity.  These 
are universal desires of the brotherhood of man, that they should find in 
themselves and in their fellows, those values which make for a good life.  A 
life of Light and Life.  

Thank you for the opportunity to visit with you this afternoon.  I often 
visit.  I am close with Tomas.  We are comrades.  We visit frequently.  We 
are as sociable in our realms as you in yours.

THOROAH: Thank you, Daniel, for being here.  

TOMAS: This is Tomas again.  I was thinking about allowing Gorman to address 
the group.  Any objections?  (No objections.)

GORMAN: Gorman here.  
THOROAH: Hi, Gorman.

GORMAN: Greetings, kids.  It's good to be here.  Nice to be a guest of honor 
instead of just the same old hum-drum routine teacher showing up again to 
chew the fat and work out the details of the work of the realm.  I haven't 
any particular plan.  I have no notes.  No one's given me an agenda.  Have 
you got something you'd like to talk about, Thoroah?  Haven't had a good chat 
with you in a few weeks.  How's it going?

THOROAH: It's going good, Gorman, thank you.  It's good to see you again, 
too.   The last month has been obviously one of the most difficult months 
I've had.  Ever.  I'm trying to be observant and I've tried to be rational.  
I'm trying to think positively.  I'm trying to propose ideological ends to 
ethical things, and realizing the energies that are out there surrounding 
these events – just the energies that I come into contact with as I try to 
propose peace instead of revenge – which I never thought I would find in a 
position of having to do with my friends! – and the idea ... I just sent a 
post out that in it's own way said that God didn't want us to kill each 
other, and yet God-fearing people somehow don't get that.  They do want to 
defend going out in the name of religion, but ... only if the do it in the 
name of religion, yes.  There's a real psychological Catch 22 going on with 
this.

GORMAN: Oh, that's just a song they sing.  It's like one of those tunes, you 
know, that gets going around in your head and you can't get it out?  
Insidious songs, usually.  And this thing about hostilities and warlike 
behavior is one of those silly ditties that humanities gets between its ears 
every now and again and it rides the wave until its spent.  The problem with 
those insidious tunes is they are a loud cacophony of tinny noises lacking 
harmony in the spheres but they create a peculiar hypnotic effect on those 
who are more warlike.  So your resounding intonation is a sound offering 
toward stability and true tonal quality that would lead to sanity and rise to 
wisdom.

THOROAH: Well, it has to be a pragmatic vision at the same time, not just 
idealism.  It's like looking at what's going on right now. I have a feeling 
that those emotions, that song that we're singing, we're being led by the 
nose by a few people to – they're whipping us up into a frenzy, and my 
disgust is with our loyalty to those who are able to whip us up like that.  I 
would like to see us escape that attraction.

GORMAN: Yes, this is one of the failings of the faithful.  They are sheep.  
They are easily misled.  They are fearful and dumb.  But you know the sound 
of the Voice of the Good Shepherd.  If you stay in touch with him, you will 
continue to hear his counsel, his guidance, and you may stray into distant 
fields while keeping in contact with the Master such that you will be able to 
bring some degree of stability to your surroundings, but only if you are 
tethered psychically, emotionally, spiritually to that song, that hosanna. 

You are right to be aware and mindful and alert and intelligent in your 
discourses with your fellows in this very important chronicle of events on 
your world.  You will need to educate and direct some of those energies into 
a positive course of action, for there are those who simply must do 
something, even if it's wrong, and if they haven't got good leadership they 
will do a lot that's wrong, and this in the long run is okay but in the 
meantime is just another delay, it's just another side-step, it's just 
another generation lost to the vagaries of war that could be won to the light 
of truth if we didn't keep repeating that same insidious ditty.  

And so the thing we probably ought to do is look for some group purpose to 
espouse that would give credence and directed energy to these feelings that 
need to act.  The problem is you haven't got clear-cut battle lines drawn.  
You can't say, "here's a line in the dirt, and the good guys are on this side 
of the line and the bad guys are on that side of the line."  Your 
circumstances are far more complicated than that, for you are infested and 
infiltrated by those who would promote fear as compared to those who promote 
faith.  

Now, if all of you who promote faith could set aside your ideological 
differences and get together – whether you are Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, 
or whatever – it would give faith a great occasion to activate many 
potentials into actuals that could then help stabilize the global situation, 
perhaps even sufficiently that the temporary threat of world war is abated or 
a plan is formulated, one in which you may participate.  But this is the 
difficulty you all face.  The prospective that someone else is making your 
decisions for you.  That someone else is determining whether you will fight 
or play dead, negotiate, charge, be caught up in spy versus spy kinds of 
intrigues, be inducted into the biochemical warfare state of mind, or wonder 
if the man next door is as great an enemy as your greatest fears would allow. 
 By not knowing, you keep fears alive, even though faith itself is largely a 
path of putting one foot in front of the other without knowing where you're 
going, you are at least in the company of divinity, whereas in your world and 
with your leaders, you haven't got a good batting average and so it's hard to 
know who to trust, how to follow.  Haven't you got enough comrades to begin 
to promote the concept of defense as compared to offense?  

If the benign virus of love were activated and installed in your hearts and 
souls, you would go out to greet your neighbor in the spirit and break down 
cultural boundaries in the search for the divine that indwells all your 
neighbors. Intimacy in the spirit is a sure-fire guard against terrorist 
attack for the love of God is enough to overpower that which would bring harm 
to you, unless it is something that cannot be reasoned with.  If it is 
completely without God-consciousness, if it is cosmically insane, if it is 
something that will take the spirit, drain it from you and leave you an empty 
shell, if it's purpose is to deplete the joy of living from your heart, it 
will need to be stamped out, as ruthlessly as you would work to stamp out 
cancer or addiction.  Persistence and consistency - all of you working 
together in the same grand psalm against the tinny hollow clanging of the 
empty bells of fear.  

Spread the word!  Give credit to your fellow warriors for peace.  God is on 
your side. (Pause) At least he's on my side!  I have seen to it that he and I 
are good co-workers, and when I forget, he reminds me.  If he doesn't remind 
me, my trusted peers will.  And this is one of the benefits of operating in 
such a conglomerate as these United Midwayers who are embarked upon uplifting 
Urantia to a state of light and life. 

How good it is to feel the influence of the Platoon in your neighborhood.  
The Progress Platoon.  What tales they have to tell!  What entanglements and 
pursuits we have all been engaged in, in our various and sundry fields of 
interest.  And it's a joyous time indeed for all of us who are workers in the 
field, to finally be activated and to be mindful of and working with an 
assortment of mortals who are attempting to work with us as we attempt to 
work with them.  (Pause) What else?

THOROAH: I don't have anything.  Maybe Gerdean does.
GORMAN: Gerdean is working on that same old saw.
THOROAH: Which one?

GORMAN: That theme of a faith safe place.  She is an idealist, don't forget. 
Even though the most ideal are ultimately impelled to become pragmatists in 
putting the gears in motion to bring about the desired idyllic effect.  And 
so we are not dreamers, we spiritual aspirants, but true cogs in the wheel 
rolling on to manifest destiny.   

Well, gang, I have had fun.  All of this is another opportunity to get to 
know you better and you to know me better, for relationship to develop, in 
order for our relationships to make sense and have meaning in the 
super-consciousness, that true battlefield of fear and faith which will 
always be won because, in the end, God is all there is.  Later!

THOROAH: So good to see you again, Gorman.

TOMAS: Reach out and touch someone.  Let your morontial arms stretch out and 
grasp the hand of your brothers across space and time.  Clasp them to your 
heart.  Embrace them with your soul.  Enliven them with your love.  Pray for 
those who use you, and transform evil into goodness by your conviction that 
faith will vanquish fear.  Be ruthless in your spiritual assault against the 
darkness and raise up the King of Kings to the truth levels that God only 
knows, and that is reflected in you each as sons and daughters of that divine 
and eternal reality.  

See you next week.  Farewell.
