Klarixiska(Virginia): This is Klarixiska.  We thank You, Father, that You
are able to bring about change in the lives of every mortal, every
descending creature, every ascending creature.  We thank You that the
change, when turned over to You, can lead each of us to the path we wish,
we choose, for You.  We thank you that along the way there are those rest
stops of help, of peace, and of tranquility.  We would ask that tonight in
this rest stop, communicating with the teachers and with one another, it
might be an opportunity to grow and change for the positive walk that You
want us to be about.  May we become the potential that you saw in us when
You sent Your Indweller.  We ask these things in the name of our
Father/Brother and Mother/Sister, that we might be able to hear Them, as
They are Your Word.  Amen.

Daniel(Bill):    Greetings, this is Daniel.  I believe it would be
advisable for us to take a few moments to do a centering, stillness
practice.  

Ken: Thank you, Daniel.

Daniel(Bill): We will not use the merkaba exercise, although the merkaba is
a word for an energy reality which is here.  What I would like you all to
do it to place your hands upon your knees, upon your thighs.  Take a deep
breath, exhale.  Again.  One more time.  Let the tension drain out as you
breathe out.  Again.  Now, raise your arms to the skies.  Allow the energy
of the Father's love to trickle down your arms from your fingertips on into
your body as rain would run down your arms if you were outside in a rain
storm.  Let this energy come.  Now, lower your hands to your thighs and
keep that energy within you.  

Within your minds dwell the greatest Gift of the universes: the
simultaneous presences of God, the Father, and God, the Son, through
Michael, His Creator Son in His Spirit of Truth.  In your mind you are
encircuited through the Holy Spirit circuit of Nebadonia.  Therefor you are
encicuited in the Holy Trinity of Paradise.  You and I are greatly loved.
We are all within the embrace of First, Second, and Third Sources and
Centers.  In silence, now, let us worship God.   (Long pause)

You may come to attention now.  You are all doing very well.  I have
provided this exercise, as I have done occasionally in the past, to allow
for an experience of group stillness.  If you do not have a regular
meditation routine, I would suggest that you use an exercise similar to
this one with the deep breathing and the reception of the Father's love,
the Son's love, and the Spirit's love.  But however your routine may go,
the important thing is your intention.

Worship is like eating.  It is essential to your soul, just as it is
necessary for you to ingest the proper balance of nutrients in order to be
healthy in body and mind.  Worship is rest.  It is the rest of the soul.
It is the peace channel.  It is the divine receptor of love, the love that
empowers the universe, the love that you understand in your human
experience, for all love is from God.  

Tonight I wish to comment on one of the things that you often discuss, the
experience of newness.  Your seasons on this planet are conducive to
spiritual lessons, for in the cycle of nature there is a perfect parallel
in soul growth.  There are the seasons of weather and there are the seasons
of the soul.  This is the season of springtime; and there is about
springtime the unique flavor of newness, of life bursting from potential as
it resides in the earth to actual as it blossoms and blooms in your flower
gardens, trees, hillsides, everywhere that plant life exists.  

The springtime has always reminded people of something deeper within
themselves.  Religions have fastened on to this analogy intuitively.  The
native religions, which are so conscious of your connection to nature, to
the earth, have made a much more  prominent connection than some others who
are more intellectual and perhaps more distant.  But even Christianity has
struggled to keep the balance between Easter representing the resurrection
of Jesus and representing springtime, the ancient native ritual.  Actually
in essence they are the same for the resurrection of our Master was a
renewal process.  All of us who survive the mortal experience are
resurrected.  It is like the seed that falls into the ground and then gives
birth to a new plant, exactly the analogy that the Apostle Paul used.  

Springtime also applies to all finite reality for all of finite reality, of
which we are a part, is emerging from potential into actual, is evolving
and changing.  Yes, every day is a new beginning.  But even more than that,
every moment is a new beginning!  All  past deficiencies are forgiven,
either in behavior, in understanding, or in thinking.  When you understand
that reality is evolving it is easier to understand the perspective that
God has, that everything is growing.  He understands your limitations at
this point.  Understanding is greater than forgiveness because forgiveness
depends upon understanding.  Otherwise forgiveness  is only grudging and
incomplete.  The growth of the universe is represented in microcosm by
springtime.

We have no complete and adequate idea of what summer will mean to the soul.
 That is, "we", who are not Paradise Finaliters.  To have completed the
ascension career, to be embraced by the Spirit, then the Son, and finally
by the Father of personality is yet ahead of us, my friends.  But our
Finaliter Brothers and Sisters tell us that even that is just another
platform from which they launch onto further experience and growth in
service.   And yet,  in a small sense, we do know what summer is like for
the soul, for we reach those platforms where potential has become actual
and we rest for a while before we move on.  Some day the finite universe
will reach completion; it will reach perfected status.  That will be an
eternal summer!  There will be no autumn of fading and no winter of death.

Nevertheless for the soul there may appear to be times of autumn and for
the mind that is prone to discouragement and despair there are seasons of
winter.  If I did not say this, I would not be telling you the truth, for I
was mortal.  Even on a very advanced world, such as mine, there are seasons
of autumn and winter for the soul.  That is the mortal experience, my
dears.  The morontia career, and ever increasingly the spirit career, has
gone beyond those times, particularly the winter of doubt, discouragement,
and despair.  

To summarize, I cannot give equal time to all four seasons in terms of the
soul's growth.  Primarily I wish to emphasize that it is mostly like
springtime.  Even in the summer of satisfaction we will not be stagnant;
nor will we ever go back to a lessor status where the leaves of youth and
the fullness of adulthood wither into the autumn and die.  The mortal body
withers and dies, yes, but not the soul.  

There will be many major spring times. The first awaits you in the
resurrection halls on mansonia number one.  I cannot put into words the joy
that you will experience.  You will be confirmed in your faith.  You will
find that every good thing that you dreamed was possible, will be possible.
 All the negativity will be gone.  No, it isn't heaven as such, but it will
appear that way for you.  I have not been to Havona.  I do not know the
glory of the billion perfect worlds from eternity.  But those things are
also ahead of us long after our first springtime moment in morontia
resurrection.  And there are more.

So enjoy this springtime environment.  Let it speak to you of the true
character of the soul's eternal growth possibilities until we reach
completion in the seventh spirit stage!  Yes, it is a beautiful road we
walk with beauty on all sides.  Remember, spring and summer are the two
season which truly characterize the soul. 

I have finished my little monologue.  I welcome any interaction that you
might wish to offer.  Questions are fine, or comments.  The floor is yours
(pause).  Are you excited about the springtime of the soul?

Ken: Daniel.

Daniel: Yes, Ken?

Ken: You speak and tell us how wonderful it will be when our faith is
established, when we arrive on the mansion worlds.  From your
experience...if I understand correctly that you are fused...(Yes)...can you
put into a few words your feelings upon fusing with the Father as we might
experience our first step unto the mansion worlds?

Daniel: Awaking on Mansonia Number One in the Resurrection Halls was prior
to my fusion experience.  In fact, despite being from an advanced planet,
it required quite a bit of time before I was adjudged to be at the point of
fusion.  On the fourth mansion world was my place of work and residence at
that time.  

I can't describe to you something that you have not experienced with any
adequate words.  All I can say is: think of an experience of worship where
you were in a state of wide open embrace with the Father, however you may
have visualized that, where you were saying, "Without reservation, it is my
will that your will be done in my life.  I want always to be with You, my
great Parent".  Whatever the words, you see.  At that moment there was
very, very close association.  If you have had such an experience, that is
the best that Isaac's mind can offer as a framework from his experience,
when there is no hesitation, no doubt, no wall, not even the faintest piece
of cellophane surrounding you, keeping you from the Father within.  For the
Father within is your Self to be in the future.  You are truly embracing
your higher Self.  The difference is that once fusion occurs there is that
absolute sense that you will be one forever.   Has this been any help to
you, my friend?

Ken: Very much!  Thank you.  Much to look forward to; much to think about
here!  Thank you for your experience.

Daniel: You are welcome.   Are there other questions or comments?

Ken: Can I ask a question of curiosity, Daniel?

Daniel: Proceed.  You may always ask one, but you may not always receive an
answer.  (Group laughing)

Ken: These lessons from you and other teachers are facilitated by those
whom I refer to as my first and second cousins, my family of brothers and
sisters.  There is one or more that have been present in our group for a
period of time and have facilitated these lessons by taking your words and
concepts and putting them into our verbal language for our wonderful TRs
here.  May we have his name or number or perhaps a word from him or her?  

Daniel: You have had VanEl present in your group for a long time.  He has
been responsible not just for your group, but for others, for initial
circuitry connection.  I am told that it is important you respect and
understand the value of midwayer cousins, but it isn't necessary for you to
know more detailed information as has been given to your brother, George
Barnard, for example.  This question is being asked by you for another
motive, I sense, than simply the information.  Would you share why you are
asking this?

Ken: The presence of a midwayer, or a presence in our home, who this might be.

Daniel: Yes, my friend, all of you at times are accompanied by midwayers.
Does this surprise you?  
 
Ken: No. (laughing) Not anymore!  (More laughter)

Daniel: Sometimes they have used techniques to get your attention, shall we
say, so that some of you joke that your house is haunted.  You assign to
forgetful memory things that don't make sense to you.  But sometimes, I
will confirm, that these events don't make sense because you are not
responsible for them.  Now what is the purpose of having spooks in the
house?  (Laughter)

Ken: Not spooks.  Just friends.

Daniel: You know I joke with you.  It is true; they are not spooks.  They
are not anything to be afraid of.  They are your close cousins.  What is
the purpose of having them in your homes?  This I can discourse on.  They
are there to assist you when you are attempting to hear from us.  They are
necessary because we are a more advanced morontia being that cannot easily
connect with mortal levels.  The midwayers live on mortal levels even
though they are a little higher than you and can connect with Seraphim.  It
is just another sign of the presence of Love.  They also do the bidding of
their associates, the Guardian Seraphim.  Sometimes they move things and
keep you from having accidents; not frequently.  They only respond to those
situations when they have orders from their superiors, these extraordinary
events.  Isaac has been told of the presence of midwayers by name in the
past.  When he was in Japan a midwayer who called himself "Joe" made
contact.  VanEl and his associate VanEssa you have also heard from in the
past.  

But here is what I am hearing from my superiors, my friend.  "You are not
authorized to give this information to Kenneth for he is sufficiently
skilled and motivated to hear this in his own mind."  End of comment.

Ken: (laughing) Thank you.  

Virginia: Daniel, following along on this theme...long before we knew of
Midwayers and the Urantia Book, and certainly before the Teaching Mission,
two objects entered our life.. We know not how they appeared. A big blue
coffee mug and a huge pocket knife became part of the household one day;
and they disappeared the same way.  Now at that time I thought in terms of
another dimension around us that we just can't see.  This is a curiosity
question...but why would those things appear and disappear so erratically?
Was there a reason for them?

Daniel: My dear, I can answer your question; but I want you to try to
answer it first.  What is your opinion about your own question?

Virginia: I think it was nuts!  (Laughter) I have thought about this and as
I say, another dimension possibly. I have always thought there was reality
out there that I am certainly not aware of, much more than I can see.

Daniel: So, your initial reaction was that you were losing your mind...

Virginia: Well, not quite...

Daniel: Possibly?  Becoming looser than you already were. (Laughter)  Then
your second reaction was that there might have been another reality
intersecting this one?...  

Virginia: Yes.  That's right.

Daniel: ...As some science fiction writers have postulated.  Well, you are
not too far away.  The first aspect is interesting.  It might be useful for
many people to lose their minds, if in the losing they were to gain a
larger perspective.  

Bob S.: Hmmph!

Daniel: They even accused Jesus of being "beside himself". 

Virginia: I have certainly been accused of that many times!

Daniel: That is not necessarily negative, you see.  Very interesting.  As
far as intersecting universes, that concept is somewhat distorted.  It is
not another universe intersecting.  It is levels of perception that you are
not able to experience due to mortal limitations.  There are present in
this room  innumerable hosts filling this room.  But because Spirit
presence doesn't occupy space, there are no limitations.  It isn't like the
Spirit capacity of this room is fifty.  Mortal capacity might be closer to
fifty.  There are a very large number of Spirit presences.  Morontial
presences are partly physical/spiritual.  There are some physical
limitations.  

So, in your everyday life, as you walk around with your mortal senses in
your shield of skin, you cannot be aware of the presence of spiritual
beings, or even morontia beings.  Once in a while some of you catch
glimpses of midwayers, for they are close enough to you physically that
they can manifest themselves, if they need to.

Virginia: Then the lighted beings that have been seen by some are
midwayers, rather than teachers?

Daniel:  They are teachers.  They are being visually enhanced with
personnel from the Power Directors on the local level, that allow you to
see that. .  That's why you can't see it all the time.  It's an assisted
vision thing.

Now back to your original question.  What was the purpose of these objects
appearing and disappearing?  I am interpreting your words: to open your
mind and include the possibilities of unseen realities.  That, my friend,
is exactly the purpose!  It was to disrupt the paradigm that most people
walk in when they do not see very much of reality.  The emphasis upon
energy in some new age theologies, I shall call them, is good, because
everything is a manifestation of energy, as physicists know.   Physical
matter is energy slowed down to the point where it materializes.  There is
life energy as well.  The Urantia Book describes an enormous universe with
seven dimensions and several levels of reality and incredible numbers of
personal beings, creatures of the God of Heaven, the First Source and
Center, my Father and your Father.

The writers of the New Testament were much more aware of this kind of
world, partly because they hadn't gone through the scientific revolution
which closed people's minds to anything that could not be seen, heard,
touched, tasted, smelled and measured; and also because of their intense
spiritual experience.  They advised to always entertain strangers, because
you may encounter an angel without knowing it.  That is my explanation,
which you now realize, you had in a certain manner already figured out.  Do
you agree?

Virginia: Yes.  But it certainly came before all these other wonderful
awarenesses of a much greater reality.

Daniel: Yes, because your angels know to what extent you are capable of
using your environment at the time.  You probably would have rejected the
Urantia Book if you were back in your fundamentalist days.

Virginia: Absolutely!  Golly, yes!

Daniel: You would have considered it a book written by the Devil to confuse
you, as some people have assumed without reading it, of course.

Virginia: A slick fabrication. [Ed. Note: This was the assessment of a
friend of Virginia and Bill, a staunch fundamentalist]

Daniel: Yes, a slick fabrication!  "Whenever a student is ready, a teacher
will be provided", is a universe fact as well as a human saying.  When you
are ready to be open to something new, it will be presented to you.  It is
not a random/chance thing.  This is all carefully administered by the
personnel of the spiritual government of Urantia.

Virginia: Thank you, Daniel.  That is very encouraging.  Certainly my
reality has changed and grown.  Amazing!  Thank you.

Daniel: I sense that we could go on and on.  Yet I feel that it would be
appropriate to conclude our time now.  I hope that all theses questions and
this discussion, as well as my little monologue at the beginning, have
given you enough food for your souls' nourishment today.  Know that all of
the staff of Michael's emergency mission, known as the Teaching Mission,
under the aegis of the Correcting Time, wish you all joy, peace, hope, and
most of all, confident love.  Share all this, my friends.  Serve your
brothers and sisters.  Let us conclude with prayer.  Jonderock, you are
being asked to transmit.

Unidentified teacher(Jonderock): Hear these words, my friends, from your
elder brothers who see themselves as your friends.  To those Beings Who
created all that is or was or ever will be, we owe you more than we can
ever understand.  And yet we see in Your divine plan a place for us.  Open
our minds, our hearts, our very being to fulfilling that potential which
You have invested in each of us, so that we may be part of a world even
more grand than our minds comprehend at this level or the next.  In
Michael's name we pray.  Amen.
