<P>Teacher: Rayson (TR Daniel)</P><B>
<P>February 24, 2002</P></B></FONT><FONT size=2>
<P></FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>RAYSON: This is Rayson, good afternoon people.
It is good to be here with you once again. As you take these few moments in the
beginning to settle yourselves, you begin to feel or see the particles around
you, the energized parts within you that begin to settle and the tumult, the
tensions and stresses become settled. This is a time of learning, a time of
relaxation, of inner/outer relaxation, of being at peace. And as you become more
and more grounded, and centered in this activity, we wish you to connect with
the merkaba as you have in the past, that shaft of energy, which is in the
center of us here. See yourself as parts of the lines of longitude around this.
As you connect your own merkaba cores to the merkaba before you, you become one
globe of energy and all of you participate in it. And as you do this, please
indicate your "intention" for being here, for your participation. This is not
like a loyalty oath or anything of that sort. This is a very personal part of
your participation, for you come here for reasons of your own. (Pause)</P>
<P>Now to energize that intention, each of you should "invoke" the energy
presence in this, and ultimately it is most productive when you invoke this
energy co-creatively with your Thought Adjuster and your Guardians, and all
those Celestial Beings who are with you. And having done that, qualify it by the
Father’s will. (Pause) The most powerful form of that is to "will" that the
Father’s will be done, in your life and in all your activities, both as an
active energy that moves you ahead, and also as a protective energy to guard you
from your own miss-directions, which may occur in your life unconsciously on
your part. (Pause)</P>
<P>Today we will continue our lesson on energy, but today it will be much
different from the lessons in the past. You may remember where in one of the
lessons in the past where we used our conscious thought working through the
merkaba energy to direct its energy to individuals, groups, families,
communities, states, and even the whole world for its betterment, whatever that
may be. And so you were a manipulator of this energy through the merkaba,
sending it to those individuals whom you had determined were in need of this.
And again, not according to your will but according to the Father’s will, for
that person’s or that individual’s, that family’s, that nation’s life, for the
course of their well being. And you recall that we did this knowing that
although God cares for all of us, very generously, our individual discernment
and determinations of how to assist that most directly is needed, and this give
conscious thought to the direction and healing of yourself and your families and
communities and your world. And this is necessary for the days of light and life
to come into existence.</P>
<P>Today, we are going to begin the <I>inner journey</I> of the manipulation of
universe energy, that energy that flows through you and that energy which flows
through the merkaba and through your planet and through the universe. Just as
you become aware that your friends, families, communities, and your world has
needs, how did you come to that determination? What was it that brought your
attention to the issue, which you prayed for, to direct universe energy towards
that healing and the "right order" of that situation? This is not an idle
question. This is very important. What was it? And as you look within yourself,
I am sure you will find that you drew your own judgment, your own estimation of
what was not right. You said, "This family is in distress;" "This individual is
in distress." And so you came to that estimation, I would imagine, from a
comparison between a healthy, ordered life as an individual, or the healthy
ordered life and functioning of a family process. You have this picture. Now in
the picture, if your picture is not accurate, you will have a bias. And this
bias may be unknown to you, and usually they are. So that is why we pray for the
outworking of divine order and also why we pray for the diminishment or
elimination of that which is not appropriate for that family or individual – so
that God’s Mind, God’s Action deals "rightly" with that individual. In this
case, let us examine within ourselves. You may find something that you are ill
at ease with. You know from past lessons by other teachers and myself that you
are exhorted to forgive your enemies, to forgive yourself. But here today, we
are going to use a more analytical approach to this tool. We will devise a tool
with you that you can use. We realize that mortal minds operate very simply and
that there are many skills that which you have not learned in how to manage your
own mind. We will teach you some today.</P>
<P>As you look within, do you have some prejudice, bias, or a negative emotional
feeling toward someone or some people? A group, family, nation, cultural group,
religious group, political group, whatever it may be? Let us focus now upon an
individual, because what we want to do is to eventually apply this to ourselves.
Now, you’ve heard me say "ourselves" and "we" and in this case as a Celestial
who has been through the Mansion Worlds and the Teaching Schools, (most of
them,) I have come to correct many of the flaws in my being, and yet, there is
still work to be done. There is only a finite amount of negative things to
overcome, but there is an infinite amount of potential for good in myself and in
yourselves to develop. Here in your case, we need to eliminate those things that
deter you and hold you back, that cause impediments to your spiritual and
emotional growth. </P>
<P>Let us take one ‘minor’ feeling. We don’t need to deal with strong feelings
of hatred or loathing, for I know that you have worked on those yourselves
already. These are mighty feelings, they are like a boulder in your path, and
you cannot even trip over it, but you bump into it, and some are so large, you
can hardly find your way around them. And the way to deal with this is to
eliminate the boulder, and many of you have done this. Now, let us get to the
smaller details, those indicators of work yet to be done. And these are
energetic, emotional impediments to your spiritual growth. Let us say for
instance, that you have a grudge against somebody, not a ‘depth’ grudge or a
grudge about some major economic thing, but something that in the past has
rankled you in a wrong way. This grudge could also go by the name of resentment
or some kind of negative emotion about that individual. When you think of them,
you may think in terms of sarcastic comments. You may think in terms of some
feeling or some thought and it recalls you to a time, an incident in your memory
that takes you to that incident. It may be a former partner; it may be a former
family member who has been out of your life for a long time, a former employer
or employee—it could be anybody. And it could be any one incident. What we are
looking for is that incident itself and the feelings that you have about that
individual. Today’s lesson is to help you fine-tune your inner workings within
yourself. This is homework that you will be doing in preparation for going to
the Teacher Spheres, the Schools of the Mansion Worlds, where you will overcome
those resistances, those impediments that came with you. There, you will
complete training programs that you were to learn on this planet.</P>
<P>So I would like each of you to identify some ‘feeling’ you have about an
individual. (And I feel quite safe in saying that each of you has at least
<B>one</B> that you can think about.) I will draw a metaphor for you: You are
sleeping at night, the house is quiet, and you are awakened by a sound coming
from the bathroom…drip…drip…drip…drip…. And so you think, "I could just go to
sleep and forget about it, or I could get up and turn the knob a little
tighter." So you get up, knowing that you must, for it will drip all through the
night and may awaken you again, and you go to the bathroom and turn the handle a
little tighter and it stops. And you return to bed and your sleep. Now how is
it, my friends, that you can hear the drip, drip, drip of your negative
emotions, those things, which have been a part of your mind action, ever since
the incident occurred. And though you may have forgotten it, it is still there,
and some incidents that occur during your days, at work and at play, and at
home, remind you of that incident? Yet, you could go to that faucet, turn it
tighter and say, "Aw, forget about it. It’s not relevant, it’s not important,
it’s not a big thing in my life." And thus, you turn the faucet a little bit
tighter. What we want to do through this lesson today, and other lessons, is to
"repair" the faucet, repair the water-stop in the faucet that lets the water
past. But let us go back to the drip, drip, drip. What is it my friends, in your
own mind, that can awaken you to this negative incident so that you do not pass
by it and disregard it, but helps you to recognize this negative emotional
response and deal with it?</P>
<P>Now, I know you are in a meditative state and you are listening intently, but
what I would like to do is to stop the TR at this time, and ask you to share
your thoughts about how you come to consciousness, in other words, of the drip,
drip, drip of your negative emotional state. When I count to five, I would like
you to become awake and aware and begin to engage this discussion. I know this
is a stop action, which we do not often do in our TR sessions. What we are
trying to do in this group and in other groups is have you become much more of a
co-creative, conscious team with us. It is a more evolved state of the TR
process. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. </P>
<P>This is Daniel. I guess for myself, what I do is to always be aware. It’s
like a part of my own being to be aware all the time, to be self-monitoring and
self-observing, and to note what’s going on – and it’s only in myself. It’s only
when I am really busy with somebody, when we are having a group discussion that
I forget and gloss over that. Anybody else? How do you remind yourself…?</P>
<P>Student: It [the memory] is still energy charged. I ran a whole series of
them that I wasn’t aware of, just the other day. I was talking to somebody about
when I missed a bus in the Navy and I had my sea-bag on my shoulder and I
stepped off the curb and really wrenched an ankle, just tore it up with the full
weight of the sea-bag and everything. And I still had to take that bus 30
kilometers to another base. By the time I got to the base, my ankle was that
big…and so I was crawling along the sidewalk, dragging my sea-bag…but I remember
the first time I ruined my ankles…it was a "double dare" from a neighbor kid to
jump down at a construction site. But then I became aware that all through that
relationship with that child, he was always goading somebody into damaging
themselves. That was his favorite thing to do.</P>
<P>Daniel: So okay, where’s the energy to remember?</P>
<P>Student: I never forgave him! And I never forgave me, because one day he
pushed me too far and I slapped his head off. So, that’s still open on both
ends, so I see…the energy.</P>
<P>Daniel: How do you become aware of that?</P>
<P>Student: There was a ‘tickler’ when I was telling about the sea-bag, and
during the week it led me back to those times, and let me get this guy, whose
name was Rodney, and then I got to see other examples of how that worked. And
other people of the playgrounds that he would do that to, over and over. And
there was an incident in high school, we were both in band, and we had our
instruments, and he made some kind of suggestion that I knew was an absolute
failure, and I said, "There it is again!" So, finally, I was onto his game…but
it’s still open.</P>
<P>Daniel: How are you today? We could go around the room and many people would
have memories and how do you become aware that this is work that needs to be
healed? I mean, that’s a real simple thought but sometimes these visions come
past our mind and we don’t even think about it, they’ve passed our minds so many
times.</P>
<P>Student: Because they keep coming by…they’re not finished. In terms of
Gestalt, it’s still open, if you want to look at it that way.</P>
<P>Daniel: So is it like…you get tired of that going on and on and on…? I’ve had
ENOUGH of this! Let’s heal this! Is that what happens?</P>
<P>Student: I think that’s what I am asking for…for me to do, is to finish
that.</P>
<P>Daniel: So what Rayson was looking for, the drip, drip, drip, the ‘tickler,’
that says I have work to do?</P>
<P>Student: The electrical charge, the energy. There’s still emotion.</P>
<P>Daniel: So you are self-observing, "I’m still upset with this."</P>
<P>Student: And here’s another key, it goes on back to my brother, because
that’s what he would do with everybody and everything.</P>
<P>Daniel: Does anybody else have this "energy," these "ticklers," this "stuff"
that you remember or become conscious of that means you have work to do?</P>
<P>Student: With me it’s not so much an energy but a lack of energy, our minds
seem to be geared towards noticing differences, and so my differential mechanism
is telling me that, "Gee, I haven’t heard from my brother, John, for awhile and
I wonder what’s going on there? And every time I try to call, it’s like…he
doesn’t answer the phone…what’s going on there? And so I think that means
there’s something needing attention, and that’s his way of crawling into the
shower…he doesn’t want to deal with it. It’s been very much a pattern his whole
life. That’s something with me, I notice not so much that something is there,
but that is "not there." And that’s where I am noticing the drip, drip,
drip.</P>
<P>Daniel: Yeah, now that you mention it, it’s what I’ve been working on for the
last couple of years, and particularly last year, I’m pretty conscious about
what is going on, but it is what is NOT going on that I need to be conscious of!
What am I missing? It’s becoming aware of a lack…and that is really subtle! It’s
like, "I don’t have this skill…why don’t I have this skill?" For example, some
people don’t have a mechanical acumen to change their oil or fix something. It’s
even something very simple that they don’t have the tools to do, but if you’re
not aware of it, then you’re not aware of it. How do you get that skill?</P>
<P>Student: I don’t know, the alarm clock just goes off, somehow.</P>
<P>Student: You learn that through comparison. But you see somebody with the
skill, and you see that it is so easy, something that has always been hard for
me.</P>
<P>Daniel: Are we ready to go back? (Group: Yes.)</P>
<P>Rayson: You see my friends that there is something going on in your minds
that you cannot even state yourself. And this is the connection, which is most
important in your lives as mortals who are infused with a Thought Adjuster, and
accompanied by a Guardian Angel. When you think about this ‘tickling’ process,
or the energy, or the dripping faucet activity in your mind about how you become
conscious, aware of your deficits or your difficulties, and you become conscious
of your thinking about your negative emotional states, which you have mentioned,
how does this occur? And it is here, my friends, that you enjoin and empower
your Thought Adjuster to bring that into occurrence. Your Thought Adjuster will
do this, first in your early lives as the Mystery Monitor, and then as a Thought
Adjuster, and then as the Thought Controller. And so, the Thought Adjuster, the
Father fragment in you, is that empowering consciousness. I know these words are
very large and they are much removed from the physical world that you live in,
but consciousness is foundational to the Father’s existence as a Creator, and
your existence as a ‘Creator-becoming.’</P>
<P>Your Thought Adjuster will do these activities on its own because it has
enjoined your life voluntarily, and has a purpose to fulfill during your
lifetime and thereafter. However, knowing that you have a Thought Adjuster, you
can now co-creatively empower that relationship to a degree, which is unheard of
in those individuals who do not have this consciousness or this awareness of
having the Father Fragment within them. And how you do this, most simply, as the
Urantia Book explains, is simply to "will" to do the Father’s will. And as you
get older, as you mature out of the state of childhood when you had no awareness
within yourself, but you had an awareness outside of yourself, and you wanted
all of the universe, all the world to conform to your thoughts. And this, or
course, is a very narcissistic perspective, very normal for childhood. Yet, you
grew out of that and you began to work with your environment on the outside, and
soon, you begin to learn to manipulate that environment, and to form yourself
and to fit yourself into living in your external environment. You went to
school, you went to college, you gained some skills, you gained some
professional acumen and abilities, and soon you had a job and were earning
money, and had a place in society and a family. And in the later parts of this
journey, you go back within your mind, within your being, in your consciousness
to engage this unknown territory. Where once conquered the outside, now it is
time to conquer the inner. And this is a major aspect of your journey as a
mortal on a material world. </P>
<P>A most urgent, necessary thing to do is to speak with your Thought Adjuster
as a friend, as one who is empowered to help you as a big brother or uncle, aunt
or sister, one whom you rely upon, your mentor. And truly, your Thought Adjuster
is the best mentor for your spiritual life. So we enjoin you, encourage you, to
empower this relationship so that it works at a very practical level of your
self-awareness. Self-awareness is very similar to consciousness, or course, but
the consciousness that you have joins the window of consciousness of God within
you. God is total consciousness. Were you to have total consciousness, this
subject, this conversation today would be superfluous, unneeded. Think on these
things for a few moments and I will leave you with time to engage a discussion
with your Thought Adjuster, if you wish. I would encourage this, please.
(Pause)</P>
<P>Thank you, and thank yourselves for the maturity to move ahead with this
courageously. For now, your Thought Adjuster will bring more of these issues to
you, and you will get to that chain in your history such as has been discussed
that will lead you back to original causes of these feelings that developed. And
it is necessary to heal the most immediate, and continue to work back to the
original cause that has similar emotional states that need to be healed. To make
clear once more, you are enjoining, engaging, encouraging and <B>co-creatively
willing</B> your Thought Adjuster to heighten your self-awareness, your
consciousness, your self-observation, so that you become more aware of those
negative emotions within yourselves that have not been healed. We will speak
another day about how to heal these, metaphorically and literally, and both of
those processes are very powerful, how to heal those situations. Today, let us
continue on with this lesson.</P>
<P>We will take a bend in the road of this lesson, but it is very similar. You
recall in the Urantia Papers where Jesus and Ganid were walking in the hills and
they came upon a stranger, and they engaged the stranger and then left. And
Ganid said to the Master, "Master, why did you not share with him the glories
and the wonders of the universe and the love of our Father?" or words to that
effect. And Jesus replied, "He was not hungry for truth and he was not open to
hear it," in a simplified version. How was the Master able to tell these things?
The conversation did not disclose or provide a way of revealing these things,
which the Master determined. But we know the Master saw in his ‘heart,’ that he
was closed. How did the Master do this? The Master sees within. It is becoming
aware of the energy within "the heart" (and let me put that in quotes, "the
heart", for it is not literally "the heart", but more in the deep character of
the individual.) The Master has become aware of what is in "the heart" of the
individual. How can you tell if a person’s "heart" is hardened? Then what does
that look like? It is here that you will need to take a step out from your
unbelief, to "believe" that you can do this also. </P>
<P>You have spoken to clerks in stores or to other shoppers in stores, strangers
who you do not know, and you come upon them and engage them. And you come away
with certain conclusions about that person, with very few words passed between
you. Here, in this instance, we ask you to become self-aware by observing what
is in the heart of another. This is not a violation of their self-will, this is
not a spiritual intrusion. It is simply much like looking out the window and
observing the scenery outside. So if you do this, with intent, to observe within
the heart of another, you can, as the Master did. This is not magic, this is not
slight of hand, this is not mental illness, this is none of those things. It is
simply your becoming aware of the emotional state of another person, that which
lies deep within them. As an aside, is it not "odd" how you can, how we can
observe that which is in others, but it is so difficult to observe within
ourselves? This is true. And it is because you must discover those issues on
your own to overcome them. You have very little appreciation of observing what
is common and ordinary – you just come to accept it. And so you came here in
this lifetime, you have certain chores to learn, certain issues, skills, as a
person, as a personality, as a creative willful being to learn in your journey
here on this planet. It is one of the reasons why you are here, is to learn
those lessons. Some of them you learn easily, others you do not. So the earlier
part of our lesson today was to become self-aware of that which is within your
self. And observing that which is in others is not a means to denigrate them or
belittle them or think less of them, for you. If they were to look within your
heart, they may come to those same conclusions. This is very normal for people
who are incomplete on this planet, it is just part of your journey. But to
become self-aware of this is the heightened part of the journey. And that is how
you become masterful at living your life. </P>
<P>When you think of the merkaba, and your projections to others to heal their
ills, to correct the wrongs, to put order in that which is in disarray, think
also now, of applying that energy to <B>yourself</B>. This is not selfish work!
This is not a means of garnering energy and storing it away, for the energy of
the universe is non-storable. It can only be used. It is not that it goes to
waste if you don’t use it, it is simply not used. So you may pray to your
Thought Adjuster, with your Thought Adjuster, to <B>empower your own
healing</B>. "Physician, heal thyself." You have heard that before, now you must
apply it to yourself. You are being given advanced instruction on healing and
coming to masterful leadership in your own life! This lesson will be repeated
hundreds of times throughout your infinite spiritual career, as you ascend from
one life to another. </P>
<P>Yes, this is very subtle, and yes, this is very tenuous, but this is <I>the
heart of mind work</I>. <B>Mind</B> and <B>Will</B>. It is <B>Will</B> that is
directed, from <I>inner conviction of rightness</I> through your Thought
Adjuster’s participation, conscious, or unconscious, to guide your life to its
higher levels of achievement, to growth. You do not grow by accident, but by
‘willfully’ engaging your Thought Adjuster to participate most powerfully and
empower that process. It is not selfish to call upon God to invoke those
energies for your growth and your healing. You have been taught only to pray for
others in your churches. Here, this is not a prayer for yourselves to help
yourself but a request to empower your Thought Adjuster, universe mind, to aid
you in your growth, for "right action" and for "right living." </P>
<P>Now as you go forward in your week, I ask you to take this exercise with you,
and that is to engage with strangers, as Jesus and Ganid did on the pathway, and
to discern and see within the <I>heart</I> of that individual. It is not to look
down upon, or to look up to that individual, but to <B>observe</B>. You will
find it most engaging in an office, where you have seen an individual, or in a
work situation besides an office, where you have a co-worker whom you have seen,
but have not met. You may have been given certain opinions about that individual
by other co-workers, but you do not know this person as him/herself in your own
observation. Engage that person and look within their heart, and see what you
see. What you will probably see, are metaphors. You may see a blackboard, or
writing board of some sort, that has words on it. You may see a fortress, locked
away behind a moat with its drawbridge up. What would that tell you? Or you may
see an open heart, a valentine that is open. You may see a blitheful spirit
dancing in the meadow with birds and bees around them. You may see a number of
things. Trust these metaphorical visions that you see, and then get to know that
individual and see if your observations, your original esoteric (to use that
word) observations are valid. I think you will find that more often than not,
they are. </P>
<P>And why would you do this? There are many reasons for doing this. This is not
just a curiosity activity in your life, but one that will assist you in learning
and applying those higher values that are so necessary for you to work with and
live with in the community of humankind. If you look within another and you see
a sorrowful individual with head bowed and bent and tears running down in a
stream, you will have compassion for this person. And what will your response
be, once you observe this? Surely, you would engage their Thought Adjuster and
empower their disheartened feeling to be uplifted. You would call a blessing
upon this individual in silence within yourself as you talk with them, or as you
pass by. This will put you in much greater, <I>grand</I> <I>contact</I> with
your fellow brothers and sisters and their lives, and give you a personal
approach to them which you had not before, and give you an understanding of them
that softens your own heart towards others. </P>
<P>Likewise, it will empower you to become strong to aid those in your lives,
those who are lesser, and those who are more, those who have nothing to give and
those who have much to give. And as you practice this throughout the years, you
will come to know yourself in a new way. You will see yourself and observe
yourself and look within your heart more truly, more objectively, and determine
and assess your weaknesses, your strengths and how you might apply yourself to
heal yourself. Healing your world is a wonderful thing, but truly, the healing
of your world will only occur one person at a time. And so this lesson today is
most personal to you. We wish you to apply it intimately to yourself.</P>
<P>What is required is for you to <B>empower your will</B>, and the humility to
know that you do have issues that need to be healed, even if they are minor.
This process also does not call upon you to be passive and a pebble along the
road of life where other people trod. But to empower you to become equal to
others to live equally with others, neither being grander than they nor less
than they are. This lesson is easily applicable to your Morontia life on the
Mansion Worlds. As you are able to apply these lessons to your life, over the
coming years, you will find in your next life on the Mansion Worlds that there
are contained within these lessons the seeds of the morontia mota. We do not
directly teach those lessons of the mota now, for they are rather removed from
you. Your business is much more material and hard and attached to this material
world, so living these lessons of the mota in your actual lives, you will come
to recognize them easily in your next phase of living. Let us pause for a few
moments.</P>
<P>And now we are ready for our questions.</P>
<P>Student: Rayson, you mentioned our preparation for light and life. I’ve had
this question in my mind for some time, you can decide if it is applicable to
this session or not. Is the term "light and life" figurative as well as
spiritual in nature? What I mean by that is "the Light" part. Does it mean that
we are going to be in "light constantly?" I know that sounds very childish but
it is also very simple and straight to the point.</P>
<P>Rayson: No, it does not mean that you will be continually bathed in light,
for your planet will continue to revolve around your sun and it will revolve on
its axis, causing the phases of day and night. What it refers to is <I>an
evolutionary state of your societies and your world to the place where the light
of God is more predominant than the darkness that is in the hearts of
mankind</I>, humankind. It is a status of life where the preoccupation and fear
of death has passed and there is an anticipation of the present from one moment
to the next, leading to the infinite life and eventually to the side of the
Creator in Paradise. The days of light and life is an evolutionary status that
all planets, most planets achieve in the normal progression of their maturity in
evolution. On your planet it has been retarded in many, many ways and it will be
a tremendous challenge for your world to achieve that status. It will not be
achieved in the normal order or the timeliness that other planets achieve. But
rather will be much like an experimental planet that has gone awry. And so it
will offer challenges of the greater type to the administrators of this planet
and to Nebadon, to assist in the healing of this planet, in a most natural way
that is most productive to the soul growth of individuals. (Thank you.) You’re
welcome.</P>
<P>Student: I recall as a child that it was so much easier to "read people." I
remember children that after being with them a few minutes, you knew exactly
"where they were" and "what they were about." I’m thinking that that was
probably the Spirit of Intuition at that age of 6 or 7 years old.</P>
<P>Rayson: Yes, children have an uncanny sense of truth about others. Children
have a way of knowing whether an individual is safe or not. And you will see
very young infants, very young children who are able to make decisions about
whom they want to be held by or in whose company they want to be. They will turn
away, they will frown, they will go out of the room rather than be with that
person. There is a definite link of higher mind with these children with that of
others. There is a deep sense of awareness in larger parameters and states of
consciousness than is apparent in yourselves. You lose this as you get older,
but if in your older years, you become more conscious of your approach to the
passage of your life on this planet, you will become aware of those things also,
but in a different way. It will be much like children perceive others, but in
this case, you will be perceiving yourself and the work that you need to do.
Many of your older people, the elderly, have not led lives, which are
instructive to their growth within their later years. This is most unfortunate,
for these can be the most productive years of all, as you go within and you heal
those issues which have bedeviled you during your lifetime, those issues which
have caused spears of darkness to run through your life and to pierce your
heart. It is time to be aware of that, and so <B>you </B>are going to be well
prepared for your aging in your lifetimes. You will be able to move forward
without regrets, without regrets or spite about others, or about your
inactivities or activities that cause you difficulties. You can anticipate that
through application of lessons that come through this group, through this
teacher, and through other teachers in other groups, that you will be able to
lead a life of happiness, even in the simple manner in which you find yourself.
One of the grand things of life is that you can live a life of fulfillment that
is also simple.</P>
<P>Student: Rayson, I have a question related to today’s lesson. In past lessons
you said that when we direct the merkaba energy to heal another, that we need to
take ourselves out of the equation, have the energy go to the greatest and
higher good, but not to reflect back on us, for our benefit as well. And then
today, you're talking about using energy to heal our own problems or discords.
Is it not possible to combine the two together to heal some of your own at the
same time that you are directing energy to another?</P>
<P>Rayson: It is possible but I would recommend that you keep these two
activities separate, simply for the reason that one does not become dependent
upon the other. When you pray for the healing of another, it is due to an
observation that there may be some discord whether in their body or their
emotions or their social situations or their living situations, and then you
drop back from that and do not become invested in the outcome. You call God’s
attention, the Thought Adjuster’s attention to this area and call for healing
according to the Father’s will for that person’s life. This is a rather distinct
activity and then you do not associate any rewards for yourself. It would seem
to be that there could be developed a conflict in yourself as you pray for your
own healing also in conjunction with praying for another. Your question is quite
complex but I would give you a simple answer and strive to keep them separate.
(Thank you.) You’re welcome.</P>
<P>Student: Rayson, my new husband and I live in very close proximity to a poor
woman who is quite mentally unbalanced and who torments and tries to make life
very unpleasant for others. My current battle, and it has been for six years, is
to contain my own anger and to try to live a life that’s normal, against this
powerful energy. Do you have any suggestions on how to do that?</P>
<P>Rayson: Yes. We will harken back to a former lesson some weeks past, where we
spoke about a …I strive not to use this word, for there are so many connotations
in your language and your culture against this word, but…use "psychic mirrors"
to help yourself and to help this individual. We spoke about using, projecting a
psychic mirror as a cylinder around this lady’s house, (not her specifically,
but let’s use it in this case,) to project and visualize a psychic cylinder, a
mirrored cylinder on the inside that now surrounds this lady’s house completely
and it goes into the ground, say 50 feet, and it goes up in the air 50 feet or
higher, whatever you feel is necessary to protect yourself. And within this
cylindrical mirror is her house and her property and all the rest. And you
empower this mirror by empowering it to reflect back the negative emotions of
that individual and that it comes back to her to deal with. And though she may
be mentally ill, and according to your laws, not responsible for her actions,
yet as a spiritual being, she is always fully responsible for her actions.
Though her mind mechanism is at fault, there is an inner spirit within her,
which is yet in command, though not dominating the mind action. Build this
mirror around her and see it working for her highest good. This is not a
punitive mirror, and not to function in that way, but to protect you and also to
assist her in healing herself. Do not worry yourself about the greatness of your
request, but just to empower it for her highest and greatest good and for your
protection. </P>
<P>Further, I would also create a mirror between yourself and her property. Now
this may be very uncomfortable for you, as it will reflect back to you, your own
anger. It will give you a deep inner picture of yourself. It may heighten your
discomfort, so it will also cause you to call upon the Father’s work, your
Thought Adjuster, to heal yourself. That is probably part of the equation you
did not want to hear, as you are already self-aware. So, how would you do this
most powerfully? Surely, you do not want to agonize over your anger, do you? We
do not want you to; neither do your angels. Empower the mirror so that it also
reflects back to you, the grandeur, and the love of your Thought Adjuster to
your mind mechanism. As these thoughts of anger come back to you, you become
aware of them, but simultaneously and encapsulating that anger is the love of
the Father, the Creator. The Father’s will and love is all-powerful, and it is
all-powerful in this situation. </P>
<P>Yes, there are difficulties in living in close proximity to those who are
mentally anguished, for it is one of the most trying circumstances upon your
world. Think of what the situation would be if she were the mayor or a
councilman, or owned this property. The torment would be greatly increased. So
think of her as a …yes, we know you estimate her as a ‘pitiful’ individual…but
one for whom compassion is required. Think in terms of what it would be like to
live within the body that she has, encapsulated as she is with this mind
mechanism running rampant, out of control. Certainly her anguish must be
intense, and there is something going on within her that is causing her and
aggrieving her life immensely. She is a spirit in torment; she is truly living
close to the Dante-Hell that is described by that author. She is in great
torment. And if you look within her heart, you will see a great deal of a
ravaged heart, a ravaged life that is in great decrepitude due to her mind’s
inability to manage her life, and her will unable to correct that. This is a
life that is being wasted due to mechanisms within her mind function. You are
also encouraged to call upon your Thought Adjuster’s direct assistance to you,
to minister to you in the difficulty with your anger.</P>
<P>Student: May I ask a question? (Certainly.) It is on a completely different
topic. I have wondered why the Urantia Book has not made mention of the Teaching
Mission, and I have speculated as to the answers to that question, but I would
dearly love to hear you comment.</P>
<P>Rayson: Certainly and I would be glad to comment. As you read the Urantia
Book, and it is a voluminous document for mortals to encompass, read it for
consistency within its pages. You will find that the Urantia Book came into
existence to give mankind a clearer picture of the cosmology and hierarchy that
exists within the universe, like a corporate structure that makes sense on a
spiritual plane for everyone. The book was written with the intent that it would
be consistent, whole, and that it would stand as a hard copy reference for all
mankind for the next millennium or longer. Within those pages, it also describes
itself as being a ‘part’ of a larger revelation. Daniel was fortunate to attend
the Fort Collins study group last week, wherein they read in a paper that said
that very thing. [UB Paper 159, section 4] Of a revelation, this book is <I>a
part</I>; this text is <I>a part</I>. That is very subtle, but if you were a
grammarian or a Sherlock Holmes of language, you would see in it that it is
talking about two things. It is talking about <B>a revelation in more than one
part</B>. Often because of personal experiences that develop into personal
prejudices, there has been within the Urantia Book community a decided bias that
the book is the "end all, be all," of the Fifth Epochal Revelation. Yet the book
itself says that there is much going on that is outside of itself. </P>
<P>Further, the Father’s revelation is not for any one generation, or any one
issue, or any one people, but for all, for all time. What this says, we can
interpret, is that <B>revelation continues</B>. Maybe not with the same
organization, the same striving effort of the Midwayers, but revelation
continues. What form does it take? It takes many forms, in many places, with
many people. Revelation continues to go on, even within the Islamic faith, there
is revelation going on. You will find though that within this religion, as in
most, that is has become institutionalized and a self-validating authority.
Therefore, new revelation is rejected. What is necessary is a process for new
revelation to validate itself. The Teaching Mission is indirectly doing that at
this time. Independent TR’s are bringing through various teachers, unbeknownst
to each other, (that is the mortals are unbeknownst to each other,) discussing
topics of similar nature with similar revelations. This is mutually validating.
The compendium, the archives, of your transcripts will one day be organized in a
way that if you wanted to look up a subject, such as "faith" or the
"adjudication of the conspirators within the Lucifer Rebellion," you would be
able to cross reference those by teacher, by geographic location, and by time.
And then you would be able to read those topics within those texts, which
disclose what was given. You could, through comparative analysis realize that
independently of others, that new revelations have been coming forward that are
very similar. This is not much different than scientific discoveries that are
made independently almost simultaneously, within minutes or hours of themselves
on opposite sides of the world by your scientists. This continues on, and as we
spoke earlier, the mind consciousness, the cosmic mind operates equally and is
available to all. </P>
<P>To get to your question more specifically, yes, the Teaching Mission is not
mentioned but "a new revelation will be forthcoming, is forthcoming," and the
book speaks to this. Your world could not be on the brink of a new revelation
without the process that brings this about. It was not mentioned within the
Urantia Book as a means of protecting the integrity of that document. Had there
been thoughts about a continuing revelation, it would be much like an unfinished
work, like one of the composers, I believe it was Schumann whose wonderful
symphony was not complete. And so, in order to come to the finale, there must be
a way of bringing the book to closure, and so it was. And so the Teaching
Mission is not mentioned, but is really a <B>faith movement</B> that validates
itself over the days and over the years, through multiple transcripts and
sessions such as this. </P>
<P>The Father’s truth will not be withheld from you, no matter who on earth says
it is not valid. Truth will always be revealed, and now you have the Spirit of
Truth, the Spirit of Christ, of Jesus, that validates this so well. What humans
disregard is the questioning of the Spirit of Truth to see if it is true or not.
Oftentimes because of an individual’s bias, they do not like to ask questions
that may overturn their apple cart, which may turn them around in their
thinking. It is much easier to maintain old beliefs and keep them safe. Does
this answer your question? (Yes, thank you very, very much!) You’re welcome.</P>
<P>Student: And I have a girl friend who wants me to ask you about the fact that
we are told that we cannot return to our world of origin during this
dispensation and so we conjectured that you are from another world, that where
you lived your mortal life was not on Urantia. Is that true?</P>
<P>Rayson: That’s correct. (Can you tell us where you lived?) Yes, we journeyed
there some weeks ago. [Refers to an extracurricular activity the group took with
Rayson to his home world.] It is approximately one-third of the way across the
galaxy, lying much closer to the center than your solar system does to the
center of the galaxy. It is a warm world, whose architecture requires different
configurations to keep the people cool, and the body types are much different as
well, much more thin and ‘stick-like’ and able to maintain body temperatures
more easily, rather than your dense bodies. Your bodies are made to retain heat
and to keep you warm. Our body types were made to dispel/disburse heat within
the body mechanism to stay cool. (Cool!)</P>
<P>Student: Would Daniel be able to talk to us about how to acquire a teacher,
or is that something that you would like to talk about?</P>
<P>Rayson: I would be most happy to assist you. Simply…it is a very simple
process. In a thoughtful time of reverie, of meditation, call upon Michael and
Nebadonia to be with you in mind and spirit. And ask for Michael to assign a
teacher to you, if that is for your highest good. And surely, just as you have a
Guardian Angel, you will be assigned a teacher also. It is hard to think of an
individual who has the intelligence to request a teacher, who would be denied
one. It seems incongruent. It is quite a simple process, and this has been in
your mind before, has it not? Then you have a teacher, Dear One! (I have asked,
some time ago.) </P>
<P>One thing that continues to be an issue in the Urantia Book/Teaching Mission
communities is why you need a Guardian Angel and a Celestial Teacher if you have
a Thought Adjuster. You might as well ask, "Why do I need seven Mind Adjutants?"
The answer is that each type of being operates on with a different aspect of
your growth and evolution of your being. Simply, let us examine the seven Mind
Adjutants; they are to help, they are of assistance to your mind function and
the elevation of your being. Your Thought Adjuster is concerned about your
over-all growth as a spirit being leading you to Paradise. Your Guardian Angel
is there to assist you with this life’s journey, yes, to protect you and also to
push you ahead when you need to learn your lessons, when you have resisted that,
and to entice you into lessons where you need to grow also. Your Celestial
Teacher is with you to help ‘organize’ your life function and your life’s being
and how you live your life and to what purposes in the outer form. For example,
this may be as a nurse, a farmer, a diplomat or some other life’s work. Your
Celestial Teacher will assist you with this. How would you live a life as a
nurse, or someone in the health community, to bring about a higher functioning
of God’s energy in this area? It is an open question. </P>
<P>You may be interested in growing some other way, and so you would wonder how
you could be of assistance to the Teaching Mission, to the Correcting Time.
Thus, you come with a repertoire of skills, and of course you come with a
repertoire of lessons you need to learn. Your Thought Adjuster, Guardian Angel
and your Celestial Teacher somehow orchestrate this so that you learn all your
lessons through this lifetime, or have the availability to learn them. It is
rather simplistic to think that God rules all and is totally involved in all
aspects of your life and that there is only God who does that. Truly, God is the
source of all energy and whose presence is continually constant in your life,
yet God is very generous, and there are beings such as yourself, who need to
learn lessons to grow. This is a bountiful universe and the Father is most
generous. The Creator is most generous to create many types who can achieve this
status. God is not selfish to create only God and mankind, and mankind comes to
God in an instant. You die, you go to heaven, and you are in Paradise
instantaneously. This is a rather simplistic perspective, and we do not think
less of that perspective, but that it provides only a simple perspective of how
you grow. So likewise, there are many being besides who, in helping you, have
the opportunity to come to Paradise, including Thought Adjusters, including
Guardian Angels and including Celestial Teachers. We <B>all</B> dearly look
forward to, and work towards, <B>your growth</B> and <B>our growth</B>, to enjoy
the embrace of our Creator in Paradise one day.</P>
<P>I sense that our lesson today is complete. There is much work for you to do,
and that is done in consciousness through the moments and minutes of your life
every day. And when you lay yourself down at night, when you pray to the Father,
to your Thought Adjuster, engage your helpers to be with you during the night,
that you may grow in unseen and unheard ways. Be at peace during your days, and
as you sleep. Good day. (Group: Thank you, Rayson.) </P>
