Greetings, dear ones, this is LinEL - we are here with you tonight to  
share again in the work of aiding this world. And as ever, we work  
together surrounded by the love of the Father, and uplifted by faith  
in the outworkings of his will. You are inspired by love, and  
encouraged by the unfoldment of understanding. The Father's love will  
never fail you in time or eternity.

We greet you yet again as our friends and companions - as our little  
brothers and sisters who give us so much by your willingness to let  
us participate in your lives and enrich our understanding of what it  
means to be human on Urantia, and how to better aid you and your  
brothers and sisters in this mutual journey that you have chosen, and  
re-chosen, to participate in with us. You do not understand the depth  
our own gratitude to you for your endless gifts of the heart in that  
willingness.

Your faithful hearts are the seeds of tomorrow - your sincere  
attempts to live what we teach lets us understand your specific human  
needs ever better - what works with you and what does not - who can  
be effectively approached and who cannot, and when. You are the hope  
of tomorrow. You struggle to serve, not knowing that your every  
single day is a service to the Father, to Michael's mission. Your  
gatherings are our living laboratories, and your lives are our  
education. We have learned endless things from you over these years,  
for knowledge of the specifics of living cannot be gained without  
experience. It will take us at least a hundred years to even begin to  
put together the detailed information that will be utilized in the  
various curricula for the reformation of your world. How could it be  
that we would learn what we need in such short order? The majestic  
redwoods did not grow to full height in a year. To you the days may  
seem long, the years stretching out. To us, it is as though we have  
barely arrived. Your impatience is natural, but it does not further  
the efforts we make, except in that we understand better what we are  
up against in working around the convolutions of the Lucifer Legacy  
on Urantia.

The mission is not fully what any of you have understood, and your  
understanding will improve, but never be full until you have arrived  
on the shores of Mansonia. Even then, it will take more time. Our  
timetable has nothing to do with human desires. None of you will live  
to see this planet's reformation. That is why your priceless faith  
and agondonter courage are such endless gifts to us - you choose  
repeatedly to believe, in the face of no imminent arrivals of rescue.  
In spite of your blurred grasp of what we do, you persist. You choose  
to walk forward doggedly when your fellows from all walks mistrust  
your efforts and perceive your beliefs as unacceptable. You exhibit  
not only the courage of consorting with us, but the courage of  
conviction that will not let you believe what you do not believe,  
that will not let you compromise your own integrity. None of you have  
perfected beliefs - at this stage of living such a thing is not  
possible. Many of your debates are truly the blind leading the blind.  
It is less important the specifics of your belief than that you are  
sincere in your pursuit of truth. In time, with such sincerity, truth  
will be yours. Your hopes are real, and we will do everything we can  
to console you in your loneliness.

But remember, forerunners are often faced with such loneliness. When  
the multitudes departed from the Master's preaching because he would  
not work the wonders they expected, the Apostles were disillusioned  
and upset. It is natural for humans to wish to see results, but the  
long-distance view requires almost super-human patience, and  
agondonter faith. This you have persisted in, and we are ever  
grateful, for your willingness to let us into your lives and work  
with us are those seeds from which our knowledge, gained by the  
experience which knowledge requires, can move forward with the  
developing plans for the uplift of your world.

What many of you call the teaching mission is an extension of the  
original Teaching Mission, Michael's bestowal mission to the planet.  
He well knew even before he came to this world that his human  
lifetime would not be enough to establish in men's hearts all that  
would be required to reclaim this world from the legacy of Lucifer  
that had robbed it of so much. When his life did not last even as  
long as hoped, there was no doubt of his need to provide for you, his  
beloved children. Before he even ascended, this teaching mission was  
planned and considered. It did not take even 2000 years of pre- 
planning before we were recruited and brought to Urantia. It will  
take us another bit of time to collect enough data in close personal  
contact with you to be able to formulate effective curricula to  
replace the knowledge base lost with Dalamatia and Eden, knowledge -  
teachings - essential to your ability to achieve light and life. From  
what our beloved Master has told us many times, this over-arching  
mission represents his continuing  ministry to you, for he could not  
leave his beloved children bereft of his help. His spirit you have  
always with you at your request, but he will leave no stone unturned  
to find ways to assist you in your struggles, to allay your griefs  
and dress your wounds of heart and spirit.

Therefore, we are here. And it is natural that you all have  
distortions in your understanding of our roles. Some distortions are  
greater than others, but none matter in the sincere hearts that seek  
truth, beauty and goodness, that ever seek love as the answer to  
life's profound problems, that know the true source of that love as  
the Father above and within. Sincerity will win through to truth in  
the end. Naturally we are saddened at your disagreements, but you  
must understand that beyond your human pains, these matters concern  
us not at  in terms of our success. It is Michael's mission, and  
therefore there is no question of failure. Your difficulties are all  
instructive in terms of our tasks - trying to find the best ways to  
assist your world. And we love you all, each and every one, mightily  
when we see your struggles with one another. When we see those who  
will not step out, we understand the need for frightened children to  
be loved and comforted so that security can guide them in the  
uncertainties of life. When we see those who rush ahead in their  
enthusiasm, and sometimes in their fear that nothing is being done,  
we understand the need for frightened children to be loved and  
comforted so that security can guide them in the uncertainties of  
life. Where fear appears, we learn yet more about the way the animal  
nature, not fully uplifted in genetics and culture, will be our  
largest impediment. So, you see, all that you do is instructive to us  
and assists us in our work.

But understand that where we find willing hearts who will listen to  
our words and pursue their connections with the Father of us all,  
where we find patience that struggles against fear to yet move  
forward, and struggles with fears of loss to move with restraint, we  
gather important information on how to understand the balance that we  
must find - and where to best put our efforts. Because this mission  
is the extension of Michael's teachings to you, of which the Urantia  
Book was a preparatory revelation, what he taught remains ever  
relevant. That it must be restated in virtually every generation does  
not make his concepts irrelevant. Instead, the world is desperate for  
the same timeless truths he taught when he walked this world, but  
restated in terms of the present, the times in which you live. Of the  
things we learn from you, one is to assist you in the best ways to  
reframe his teachings for your time. It is not called the teaching  
mission by accident. And as your generations pass and we are yet with  
you, this reframing will continue, over and over, until we have the  
pulse of the needs of humanity well taken, and the remedies well in  
hand.

Be of good cheer - even when some would disparage your sincere  
efforts, any of you, you yet serve.  And the words of others  
disparaging such efforts cannot change our faith in you, in your  
persistence. Blessed are you when in the face of disagreement, you  
persist in your loyalty to what you know to be true. Even were you  
mistaken, your sincere hearts would stand vigil on behalf of your  
faith. Your rewards will be forthcoming as your faith has sustained  
you. And we are proud of every sincere heart that makes the attempt,  
repeatedly, to serve in this way.

Urantia needs the knowledge it lost. Teaching and learning will be a  
part of your lives forever. It is part and parcel of both time and  
eternity, albeit the methods are vastly different - the goals are  
not. And ever the most priceless goal is that connection with the  
Father, with his love that sustains you, from whence you came, and  
that will permit you to move in ever upward and expansive cycles of  
relationship with the deeper meanings of truth, beauty and goodness,  
and to attain at last the pinnacle of Love. We love you beyond  
description. Your openness to us and your vulnerability are truly  
gifts, and gifts that are endless service to all who follow you, and  
to the world when it will be in Light and Life.

Seek the Father and his love - feel the color of the light that  
radiates from the great heart at the center of the universe, and yet  
from within your very own hearts. This is your birthright, and the  
legacy of your efforts here will be to increase the hopes of your  
world drawing ever closer to enlightenment. Be at peace within and  
live from faith and trust - and you will find more peace is yours  
without.
