*	 Darid (Jonathan TR):  Greetings, this is Darid.  I am happy to be in your company 
and to take a moment to express what I perceive to be the function of faith.
	There is to me a way to describe faith as an arena into which you enter.  It is not 
simply the adoption of religious creeds or the enactment of accepted rituals, and it is, 
while being such, more than an ever-patient hope or an eternally trusting belief.  It is 
application.  It is your activities within the arena.
	An arena provides definition, that which is  contained within is defined, made 
distinct from the exterior.  In a small definition certain activities are relevant or 
applicable and others do not fit into that arena and are  therefore not used.
	When you grow in wisdom and expand your arena of faith you enlarge your potentials 
for action.  When your spiritual context goes beyond church to a universal family, then 
the undertakings available to you become numerous.  Acting in faith is acting in the 
awareness of the breadth of your ability to be of service, to express truth, to be good, 
to magnify beauty.  Faith is therefore not something acquired but something into which 
you enter.  It is not something you must possess but something of which you are contained 
within.
	Following this method the natural progression is the congregating of faith, what 
you know as fellowship, the community of like-minded souls.  In this interchange comes 
the discovery of much commonality in your faith, much similar orientation, dreams, and 
hopes, and also the necessary challenges to an individual which cause philosophic 
adjustment, clarification of perspective.  Faith upon faith expands each individual.  It 
has the effect of taking hands, and when many hold hands there is strength.
	While I express faith in this manner, as something into which you enter instead of 
something you create, I do it to offer the suggestion that the burden of faith is not the 
requirement of your creating it but merely your willingness to enter into it.  It is 
there; it is a reality in spirit.  You can, in darkness, look for a light to light your 
way, and many do and find successful vision, and many a philosophy and religious 
construct have developed therefrom.  But great faith receives the sunrise and the 
brilliance of luminosity everywhere and a transcendence of perspective that accepts all 
orientations. This is a grand faith. May you ever be blessed.
	I take my leave, thank you.

*	Stephen (Mark):  I would rise to this opportunity and address this forum, I am 
Stephen.  It is my privilege to make my way up to the podium for a brief exchange with 
you.  After having observed your discussion prior to our meeting, I would
pick up a few threads and attempt to weave them together into the fabric of greater 
understanding.
	It is glorious to behold your sharing and discussions regarding service 
opportunities that you were privileged enough to participate in, and it is clear to 
witness your enthusiasm as you seek for ever eater opportunities to be of service.  And 
all that you pursue in this regard is well and good and pleasing to the Father, for as 
you know, when you act in service you are acting in behalf of the Father who would have 
it be so.  But I would as well ask you to consider the following question: What then is 
the greatest form of service that you could be, that you could do, in this life at this 
time?
	I would suggest that you would consider the possibility that the greatest act of 
service you might perform would not be without but rather within, as you cultivate the 
arena of your understanding and awareness that you are as much part of the project, part 
of the service opportunity, as anything else that exists.  In fact you are the one who 
must make all decisions
regarding your personal growth and development; they cannot be made by another and 
executed by another.  It is entirely your responsibility to see to your own personal 
ascension career. Therefore, while it is thrilling and fun and noteworthy to look for and 
manifest opportunities to be about the glorious privilege of service to your brothers and 
sisters, there is a great call for service at home, in your very .... when he witnesses 
you go out and about and ...service to others.
	.... The aspect of being a conduit and how the love flows through the conduit, and 
this is true, but I ask you to consider your role in the directing of this conduit and 
the possibility of directing that conduit to yourself as receiver.  I support your 
comment about being kind to yourself, seeing yourself as worthy, as ready, as able; all 
these things are kindness to the self which then becomes a kindness... and an act of true 
love in your giving.
	It has been a distinct pleasure and privilege to address you, this crowd that I 
have observed and honored for so long.  It is spectacular to behold these light beings 
that you have become throughout this process.  I have enjoyed witnessing.  And now you 
are ever turning up the brilliance as you gather in more tools to refine this process of 
living.  In so doing we witness miracles as they unfold in your lives.  I take my leave 
and submit my love and respect.  Thank you all.
 
*	Serena (Kathy):  I would like to address the discussion about being a conduit of 
love for others.
	In the action of carrying love to others you are the vehicle of the Father’s care 
and help.  Often we do not know what action is needed for the other person’s growth.  In 
this case your willingness to open yourselves to all of the energy in the universe that 
can be used for good enables the person you are trying to help to absorb that which is 
needed for them individually.
	This loving contact point created by you and given to them enables all of the 
celestial beings in the vicinity access to the mortal in need.  They are able to make 
better contact through your connection.  If you will allow this it can be a formidable 
tool in the effort to aid mortals on Urantia.  We are always available to step in and 
provide the content and energy if you provide the contact and ....
 
*	 unidentified (Mary):  I am going to step out of my box and speak and extend an 
invitation to each of you to step outside of your box.  I invite you to stand, change 
position if you happen to be standing, but right now change your position so that your 
physical vehicle has a new orientation.  Consciously breathe.  I invite you to turn the 
palms of your hands upward right at this moment as if you were standing in a ray of 
sunshine.  Feel the warmth.  Feel the life giving nature of light upon your being.
Allow it to envelop you as you breathe.
	You are so very loved.  ... to be devoted to you as an individual expression ...  
This is so all encompassing, so ever-present, so simple yet so profound.  Believe that it 
is there. Allow it to warm you and to light your way.
	Thank you for ... this morning to just receive the love that’s around you.
