  Teachers:  Rayson  (Daniel)


Good afternoon everyone, this is RAYSON.  I am so glad that you came
today.  I know that the tumult that your nation is in has caused great
difficulties for almost everyone.  And if anyone is not touched by these
tragedies then they are probably inert or they have not been in contact
with your society's values for long.  We wish all of you well during
these coming weeks and months, and though the earth may shake and your
skies may become cloudy and dark, there is always the presence of light,
God's light around you, in you, through you and all along all planes of
existence on your world.  You are not without the presence of our
Father.  Though you may not hear your Thought Adjuster at this time,
nonetheless God's presence, God's essence, God's fragment is with you
wherever you go.  The tragedies that occurred in your nation this week
are not an indication that God has any ill will or wrong intentions for
anyone.  God's presence is always with you.  God's presence is right
action made evident.  The actions taken on your planet, your nation,
this week were done by evil men, men with selfish, very, very narrow
values and objectives.  Only on a world such as this, an experimental
world, and a world that once was in rebellion and quarantine could such
a development occur.  It is suicidal, for all nations, for this to
occur.  It is an indication of personal annihilation of spirit.

It is most important as you go forward working with celestials and
angels that you see this as a larger community that is developing on
your planet.  This community is the extended community of mankind.  You
have friends who are always present, wisdom that is always available,
and guidance that is always there, for your hand when you reach out.
Yes, there is philosophy to guide you, to help you think through these
issues in larger terms.  Whatever you have thought of, the difficulties
you have engaged in your life, whether personal or societal, usually
have occurred on other planets as well, particularly those that were in
quarantine or other experimental planets.  The solutions are there --
when one is in the contact of larger spirit, with Thought Adjusters,
with the beings of God's legions of light, one would not commit these
crimes.

  It is the larger community to which you are now becoming a part, that
is why we are here, that is why Daniel is here to engage you, to enfold
you, to invite you to participate.  And though you may not hear as
Daniel hears or other individuals hear, you can be a very effective part
of this.  There are individuals in the Teaching Mission who have been a
part of the program for almost ten years and they still do not converse
verbally with their Thought Adjuster or their Guardian Angel or
Celestial Teacher.  This does not indicate any wrongdoing or lesser
status on your part.  It is a function of mind action, sometimes due to
your training, your environment, the way you were raised and brought
up.  We wish you to be of good cheer.  We know that many people have
lost loved ones and many millions are affected personally by the outcome
of the developments that occurred this week in New York.  See this
tragedy as an opportunity that will shake the firm blocks of culture in
leaps so that they are loosened, so that new leaps can be formed, new
associations can develop and greater peace be enhanced in this world.
This is God's love in action to bring about greater good through
mankind's tragedies and despicable acts upon each other.  Whether in
small part or large, this can be done, even in your personal life, even
with you personally.  Those small tragedies of your own can be changed
and delivered to you in greater form, for greater wisdom, insight,
self-guidance and the contribution of your energies in service to
others.

So with this preliminary message this afternoon I will close so that you
may get back to your agenda.   I wish to speak with you again before you
close.  Now, do you have any questions pertaining to anything that I
have said?

Jim A:  Part of what helped me with the tragedy was that I had read
somewhere that I could turn this over to God, and it will turn out that
all things will work out to good.  That's what you were just speaking
of? (Yes.)

RAYSON:  When one delivers something to God to take care of, then one
must release it of course.  It is our wish, and hopefully yours too that
the leaders of your country who form foreign policy decisions for action
will be guided to make decisions which result in higher outcomes.  We
know that these harmful elements will probably be destroyed on your
planet by your national interests.  This is not of our participation nor
our doing.  Yet we know that in this trauma, this terror, that cleansing
of the evil elements is necessary.  These are societal issues, ones
which we do not form, ones which we do not deliberate for an outcome.

Roxanne:  Rayson, how is it handled when one person violates so many
other free wills?  Is there ever any intervention in such a case?

RAYSON:  No, there is never, ever any intervention in these situations.
You have had many Millennia of such action, whether it is one individual
or one tribe, against the clan of another, whether it is one individual
against a family of another, it is still the same.  God does not
intervene but opens the way for more options for action by being present
in the individual's mind, by providing those options.  When you invite
spiritual presence, whether my presence or a guardian angel or a Thought
Adjuster, Christ Michael or any one else of God's realm, then you are
engaging the greater opportunity, greater options for thinking about how
you may take action constructively.  This is how the Father becomes
involved in assisting individuals in the guidance of light.

Jim A.: I was pondering how we could solve this situation with the
terrorists by rule of law.  Our country was established as a country by
rule of law, and that is what we teach and preach to the rest of the
world, that this country obeys the law.  Would that work with these
terrorists, is that a possibility?

RAYSON: One must capture them first.  They would not agree to the
process.  They would not participate once, even in captivity.  They
would disavow any connections with their own beliefs.  You will find
though, that this action, this terror against your nation, will actually
have a very beneficial effect, and you are beginning to see that.  Where
there is more of a commitment among nations to be a part of the process
of living together peacefully. There are fewer fence riders in this
issue than ever before.  You will see greater separation between the
forces of light and the forces of darkness.  You will see that this
separation of the light and dark is part of the Correcting Time, part of
this transition era of this millennium.  This is a separation of those
who are part of God's side or those who are not.  There truly is no
dualism in the universe.  Only those individuals who decide not to do
God's will and those who do.  This is not a dualistic universe; this is
neither the forces of light nor darkness, in the old philosophical
sense, a religious sense, in those arguments they have maintained.  But
as simply a way of viewing those who are with right and those who are
without right, those who are outside the fold of God.

Jill:  We pray that our leaders are guided.  Is there any specific
additional vision that they are given?

RAYSON:  Yes, certainly.  As was discussed earlier in a prior session,
the Corps of Destiny upon your planet is occupied by individuals who are
unknown participants of that corps.  There are those who are within the
higher echelons of your governmental and Foreign Service process who are
part of this corps.  We work closely with them, in providing them with
visions of options.  In this time of great difficulty, you may think
that there is just 'us' against 'them', so to speak, but actually this
time offers the broadest spectrum of all actions, or all options that a
leader can take.  In this situation where it is so lopsided, where the
world has sided with your country, all the options are available to be
exercised.  But once those actions become solidified and acted upon,
then the choices become narrower.  So now is the time for individuals
such as yourselves to pray for your leaders to see a wider spectrum of
choices.  This is the time to exercise the divine outworking of God's
will in your society through the prayer process, through visualizing the
options.  Even if all you see in your mind's eye is a huge blackboard
the size of a football field, filled with options for your leader to
take written in hand-sized letters, you will find that there are
thousands of options.  Does this answer your question?  (Yes.)

Jim S: You spoke of the Corps of Destiny--I imagine that in this corps
that is now functioning, there are great numbers of human participants.
(Inaudible)...is this a normal thing?  (Inaudible
.)

RAYSON:  Yes, certainly it is.  There are--where to begin!  There are
individuals who are conscious of a higher need to perceive in the
direction of stabilizing and normalizing your civilizations, cultures
and nations.  They are conscious of broader views than are given to them
by their governments or through their training.  They feel exceptional;
they feel perhaps outside, they see themselves outside, not necessarily
above, but outside the normal, narrower pathway of public policy.  They
may not be aware that they are part of the Corps.  You see, those who
have read the Urantia Book and are aware of the Corps of Destiny are
actually very few on your planet, less than 1% of your human
population.  So most are unaware that they are part of the Corps.  Even
those who read the Urantia Book often times fantasize about being part
of the Corps of Destiny for your planet, whereas others wish they were
but deny the possibility--as they do not feel they are exceptional.  And
truly, one does not know that they are part of the Corps until
exceptional situations arise.  Take for instance the leaders who came
forward in World War II.  Winston Churchill is a primary example.  He
was a mediocre statesman who rose to the occasion, who filled the
position in great profound capacity.  There were those in your nation
too and in other nations as well.  Individuals may be conscious of this,
or they may not.  They see a higher path, they see further choices, they
see a grander vision and they pursue it.  Answering your question on
another level, yes there are more participants now than ever before.
Let us take history as a perspective of probability.  You may speculate
about the future.  If you were an actuary working for an insurance
company you would predict certain probabilities of outcomes.  So you
would have this ability to look into the future, so to speak.  You would
know what would come about.  On the side of God and the formation of
Thought Adjusters and the arrival of Thought Adjusters in the mortal
individuals, these plans are not surmised, but actually measured and
measurable.  Even before the individual is born.  Some hints of this are
given in the Urantia Book, which you may recall.  So there is a need,
there is an awareness, that within some mechanism, which we are unaware
of, that provides for exceptional individuals to arrive and to
participate in exceptional situations.  And this is how exceptional
results are achieved.  It is the cooperation between the developing soul
in the individual and their plan of life, which is able to manifest
exceptional results in your society.  Some never do come to this service
but who have waited, and waited and opportunity passes them by, yet they
are there.  This is the Reserve Corps, so to speak.  I have gone far
afield of answering your question.  I hope I have not caused further
confusion.

Jim S:  (inaudible)

RAYSON:  It is not so much duties, but preparedness for affecting the
course of your planet's development of your civilization, even down to
the level of the community, even families, for there will come forth
from them a certain individual who can participate.  The duties are to
be prepared, this is like so many boy scouts, "Be prepared."  Always be
vigilant.  And being prepared means a good education, being culturally
sound, being genetically sound and capable of moving into the stream of
events, as that individual is needed.

Roxanne:  Was the tragedy on the East Coast known before hand by our
unseen friends?

RAYSON:  As was mentioned a bit before in the last answer, there is an
awareness of probability, a probability of some sort of tragedy is very,
very high.  I think we can use your question as a bridge to the topic of
this afternoon, and that is validating revelation.  Just as we can
predict or surmise or offer conjecture about the future, the future is
truly not known until it occurs.  Even God does not know that which has
not taken on existence.  Though God knows a tremendously accurate
probability of what will occur, and can almost surely state if we were
to converse with the Creator directly, that God would know the future
quite well.  So, what you might ask about this situation, did we know
about it ahead of time, we were quite certain that a tragedy of some
sort would occur before too long.  We could offer conjectures about the
future, also about things that have not occurred at this point; you can
do this also.  And so, what I offer to you as training for this process
of listening, to be in touch with us, to hear us, to have a relationship
with us, whether it be technical or personal or societal, is your
choice.  But you can ask questions of your Thought Adjuster, your
teacher, your guardian angel, and receive an answer.  And if it does not
seem quite probable or likely, or even seems unbelievable, then you
should contact one of your friends and ask them an objective blinded
question, so to speak, where they would offer themselves to be in
contact with their teacher to receive an answer.  This is what Daniel
does frequently and what members of the Teaching Mission have done for
many years.  It is how they validate revelation, how they validate what
they hear.  The results are validated or not by other individuals.  When
you begin, you may not be certain or sure that what you have heard is
yourself, or from your teacher, or guardian angel.  Write these
statements down that you have received, and then ask someone to go
within and seek an answer of the question that you have to ask.  It is
though Daniel were to ask each one of you today to go to separate rooms
and ask a question and find an answer from your teacher.  Then you would
come back to the room here and compare notes to see what you had heard
in answer to the same question.  And this is a very practical exercise,
which we may use in the future if you wish.  We do not want to proceed
with any teaching format, which makes you uncomfortable or puts you on
the spot.  Yet there must be a point of pressure upon the student to
proceed, to push the edge of their envelope a little bit more each
week.  Does this answer your question? (Yes it does.  Thank you.)  You
are welcome.

Jim A.: In attempting to communicate, I've clearly received a word or
two here and there, and it seems that as my mind attempts to focus on
that, it shuts everything down.  Is that what is called a 'blockage?'
Or, am I doing that?

RAYSON: Yes, you are doing that.  What you may want to see is a ticker
tape that is coming through at all times.  Does the ticker tape stop
when you look at it and note the quote of stocks? No, it does not, it
continues to proceed.  And so when you stop at the stop you are
interested in, you stop.  But were you to release that, let that go, and
just be an observer without drawing judgement, or estimation or opinion
about what you are seeing, then you would see the continuum flow.  The
question you might ask then is what's next?  It's like watching a
connected montage, where one frame develops into another, into another,
into another.  And if you stop at one, you see part of the picture, but
if you continue seeing all of the pictures then you see the movement
that is involved and have a much larger perspective of what you saw in
the first place.

Jim A.: I see visions all the time, scenes, but these are not verbal. At
other times I'll hear a couple of words, a phrase and then when I try to
get more, it stops.

RAYSON:  Do these words succeed a question you had asked?  (No, they're
like some body conversing and they stop when I tune in.)  So it is as
though you hear two people talking?  (Yes, but only one half of the
conversation.)  Continue to practice and continue to see the stream
flow.  What you want to do is construct a metaphor in your mind that
allows this process to flow through without stopping. (Thank you.)

 If there are no further questions, let us now take a pause and let you
go back to listening to Daniel, although I believe I have stolen his
thunder.  The topic he was going to talk on today was "Validating
Revelation."  Thank you.  I'll be with you all through the afternoon and
I would like to speak to you in closing, before you leave.  (Group gives
thanks.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(Long group discussion.)

RAYSON:  My friends, I am glad to hear that you have spoken so freely
about many of your concerns.  You are creating a bonding within
yourselves among yourselves within this group and it will spread to
those who attend who are not here.  We too are in bond with you, not
bondage, but we are one with you.  You are becoming to see that you are
part of a larger family.  You are the family of the Father, of the
Creator of all.  You have many issues in your lives that you may speak
to us about and ask questions.  You can ask questions, you can request
things, and you can be guided, even if you do not hear that inner
voice.  Your sharing here today is most heartfelt.  It is a privilege on
our behalf to be here with you.  We learn so much from you and your
indomitable spirit is one that is so courageous and it can only be bred
and developed and engendered through circumstances and your experience
on this world, in this nation, at this time.  You live in exceptional
times and if you co-create and participate, you will have a most unusual
life, a highly productive life.  But you carry your life's experiences
with you through the Morontia world, on into Paradise.  These things
will never be gone from you, the lessons you learn now will carry you
forward evermore, and they will serve you well and be instruments of
much instruction to others who have never experienced lives such as
yours.  You will be of great service; you will be those Agondonters that
they speak about from Urantia.  (Thank you, Rayson.)
