ABRAHAM  (TR: Nina Mckee)\par
\par
I am Abraham. Greetings. What an honor to be a branch on this family tree. I realize that to many there seems to be various divisions within the Urantia community. There are some who are perhaps feeling excluded or too different to be included as a part of the whole.\par
\par
I, representing my associate Teachers, would express to you our joy at our perspective of this overall family community. Where one group may be representative of ideas, the Correcting Time participants are the action of those ideas. Where one group may be the thought of good intentions, the Teaching Mission is living those good intentions. Where one group is intellectually expressive, the Teaching Mission is about everyday living practice, knowing full well the pitfalls of the mortal struggle.\par
\par
The Urantia Community is like the body of Christ, every group having a function and purpose, every group attempting to put forth their highest ideals. The body, however, would suffer disease if the parts would become a stumbling block to other parts. It is our prayer that the parts of the body would work to make it easy for the other parts to function. One part helps the other. No part is any more significant than another.\par
\par
Michael said, "I am the vine and you are my branches." Together the tree is healthy and growing. Should one branch attempt to overtake the tree, then most definitely would there be an upset of the whole. If the Urantian community cannot find a way to work as functional parts of the whole, then I say, what other community can?\par
\par
You are our hope. You are our voice for the changing world. You are the action for our thought. You are the wayshowers to a new and better world. The differences between you each matters not. The trust you have in Father to do His bidding definitely matters. What will last--will last, and what doesn't--will not. It is all a matter of trusting in the Supreme Overseers. The universe will support those things that are true, beautiful and good, and no man will stop that.\par
\par
Your most productive focus would be to love one another with a Fatherly affection. Father loves the child in spite of his actions. You may not always agree with your brothers and sisters, but you can save energy by focusing on loving one another, instead of trying to cast out what you believe is non-reality. Trust in Father to make those things that are 'real' lasting. That is most definitely not our place to choose what is real and what is not.\par
\par
The measure in which you feel welcome here at this function will be the measure of love you receive. If you feel not welcome, this becomes real in your own mind. You are all children of the living God, all cosmic citizens, all brothers and sisters. You are welcome. You are supposed to be here. You are loved. You are the wayshowers of the future. Have faith in Father, and one another, that while there is a sea of endless possibilities, know that you are trusted to follow your Indwelling Fragment to do what you feel is right. Know that we are here. We are here for you. We are with you and determined to see Urantia enter into that age of Light and Life. I leave you to another. Shalom.\par

WELMEK (TR Michael Painter.)\par
\par
I am your friend and Teacher, Welmek. This evening I would like to take you on a journey. Our journey will be to climb a mountain; it seems appropriate, given the setting that you are in. We all start at the base of the mountain. As you look up, you cannot see the top; it is so far away. You begin to climb and there are many with you-there are parents, families, relatives, friends-and the journey is not too hard, for when you are not sure where to step, they tell you, they give you guidance. \par
\par
As you continue on your journey, you find that each person begins to find a unique path, a unique trail that will lead them up the mountain. The goal for everyone is to reach the top of the mountain, but the path will be different for each person. As you continue to climb and you find that your path seems to separate from others, you begin to grow more fearful. What do you do with this fear? You try to remember all that you have been taught by your family, your friends, all of your experience, your education, and you trust your intellect to guide you, and you use reason to decide which way to move on your path.\par
\par
Sometimes you stumble, but it is not too severe, so you trust your experience and your mind to get you back upon the path. But as you continue, the path becomes more difficult, there are more obstacles, there are more sheer faces of the mountain that you must climb, sometimes not even be able to see where you are going. This creates more fear. As you get stuck and are not sure which way to move, you look around. To your left and right, you can still see others, also climbing, and you call out to them, "Where is a ledge that I might place my foot to be safe?" And they answer you, giving you their best advice. Or perhaps, you see someone, slightly below you on their path, and they can guide you, tell you which direction to move. Or perhaps someone is slightly ahead of you, and they look down and they can tell you which way is the best road to take, the best path to continue your climb. \par
\par
And so, you continue, you listen, you follow their advice. Sometimes again you stumble, but you continue on your path. But as you continue, you see fewer and fewer of your fellow travelers, there are fewer and fewer to give you advice, there are fewer who can see or understand where you are on your path. There is one who can see all, one who can see from the very base of the mountain, to the very top. You have heard of this person, called "God," but you were never quite sure if this person really existed. \par
\par
But as you continue on your path, you find fewer to advise you, you find often that their advice is mistaken. And so you are again, filled with fear. What will you do? Your friends, your fellow travelers, cannot always advise you correctly. Your own judgement, your own intellect has sometimes faltered, and you have fallen. How can you possibly continue on this path to reach the top of your mountain? In moments of despair, in moments of great fear, there is sometimes a "still voice" that comes into your mind, "I am the way and I can show you the way." Now you face your greatest decision of all, and this decision is, "Will I trust this voice?" Your intellect struggles, your intellect says, "Trust me, do not let go of me, I have guided you this far, and I can take you the rest of the way." But you are not so sure, because your intellect has failed you at times; it has not always guided you in the right way. And so, as you trusted your human parents when you were at the base of the mountain, now you must make a transition, you must make the transition to begin to trust your spiritual parent, this God, this Heavenly Father, who calls to you. Some will not trust, they refuse, they continue to fall. Sometimes they fall so far, that they cannot go on in the journey, and they stay broken hearted wherever they fall and land. And that is where they spend the rest of their time on their journey. \par
\par
Others choose to take that leap of faith, choose to take a chance and trust, to trust that inner voice that calls to you. And so, the voice says, "Try this way," and you move that way a small step, but you are safe. This is the beginning of your faith, for what is faith but living trust in this inner voice of our Heavenly Father? You continue to climb; there are times when you cannot see anyone else, when you cannot see even the next step ahead. You are filled with doubt and you are filled with fear, and so you constantly have to decide, "Will I doubt, or will I trust?" Sometimes, along the path, your reach a valley, and in the valley, there is a beautiful clear lake and a beautiful clear stream, and beautiful flowers all around. And you know that it is time for you to rest, time for you to relax, to enjoy the beauty of the sunshine, the smell of the flowers, a gentle breeze upon your face, to drink the clear water. There are other fellow travelers who are there; and you meet them and you enjoy their companionship. You share your stories about the climb and you talk about what lies ahead. After a rest, it is time to move on, to continue your journey. \par
\par
You start out again with some of your fellow travelers, and as you continue to climb, you will find only a few travelers who share a similar path. As you continue your climb, you decide to not move too far ahead of the others, so that each of you can help each other, and you can climb together. You call this "fellowship." But yet, even though you share the journey with these other fellow travelers, there are still times in your path, when they can hear you, but they cannot guide you. And so, the decisions that you make, are still the same. How much will you trust in your guidance? How much will you rely upon our Father to get you to the top of the mountain? \par
\par
As your text tells you, all life comes down to decisions, the decisions of faith against doubt. This is the struggle; this is the climb, the great climb of life. Where are you in your climb, my friends? It is hard to know, but in your climb, you can look around and see others who seem to be on a similar path. There are those that you meet who are ahead, and can sometimes look down and guide you, can sometimes reach down with their hand and pull you up. And then there are those who are beneath you in the climb, and they see you and they call to you, and they say, "I need your help; I need your guidance." Surely, you would not deny them, for as others guided you, surely you would return the favor. You were given service freely; freely must you give your service in return, for this is the way of the climb; this is the only way the climb can be successful.\par
\par
As you continue your climb and your trust and faith grows, you find that your fear diminishes. The climb is not necessarily easier, but your ability to climb is easier. It is not so fearful; you are actually beginning to even enjoy the climb. You feel more confident that you are on the right path; you feel more confident that you will reach the top of the mountain. Why is it that you succeed and others do not? It is really quite simple, it all comes down to those decisions you made about whether you could trust your inner voice, to let go of the intellect for awhile and learn to follow and trust the inner voice, the voice of our Heavenly Father. This is not to say that your intellect is not of value, for it is a great tool, and your intellect can help you understand and learn much along the path. But there are times when you must trust, trust in your guide, your Heavenly Father, your inner Spirit, your Thought Adjuster, whatever name you choose. \par
\par
If you wonder where you are on the path, ask yourself this question, "Do I trust more now in the Heavenly Father's guidance then I did a year ago, five years ago, ten years ago?" If the answer is "Yes," then you are growing, and you are climbing your path in the way that our Father wants you to. There is not "one right path;" all the paths will lead to the same mountaintop; no path is exactly the same. There are similarities that you can share with each other, but you must climb your own path. And there is only one guide, one person who knows exactly what your path is. Share your journey, enjoy it, and give of yourself as others gave to you. But in the moments of darkness, in the moments of not knowing where to put your hand or your foot next in your climb, remember, there will always be the still inner voice telling you, "This is the way." Good day, my friends.\par

TARKUS (TR Jim)\par
\par
Good evening my friends, this is Tarkus, a teacher for these blessed ten \par
years or more in this Teaching Mission, and still wondrous every day of the \par
magnificent vicissitudes of this growing, evolving planet learning to live \par
and love during chaos and the horror and joy.  My colleague, Wilmek, states \par
of many paths on the Father\rquote s majestic mountain.  So true - each of you \par
climb your own, seek the joy of achievement and as you come together in \par
meetings like this, eight hundred or more, and my multiplication is correct, \par
you may go home to the aura of your loved ones, and spread love in so many, \par
many, many, many ways. And, this is the way the Mission works. We don\rquote t seek \par
to change the world; we seek to inspire you to change, to become loving \par
creatures, joyous givers of love, joyous seekers of Truth and Beauty and \par
Goodness. And you have found many of these beautiful nuggets of wisdom \par
today. We meet with you, of course, in one of our numerous organizational \par
and planning conferences and, of course, meeting with you, we are able to \par
observe and somewhat measure our progress. I can tell you that we are all \par
proud to the point of near hilarity in celebration to see how far you\rquote ve \par
grown. It is so joyous to behold. And yet you have so far to go, and we\rquote re \par
getting there. That\rquote s the joy. The joy is not getting there so much for the \par
next billion trillion years, anyway, for it\rquote s going to take all of that. So, \par
the true joy is in getting there. Go on to be perfect and to become cosmic \par
citizens, to climb your own majestic mountain, and then take joyous, \par
graceful pride in being atop and a little closer to the Universal Father.\par
\par
I would speak tonight about apocalypse, the lesson beyond apocalypse. Truly \par
apocalypse is something that frightens the fear-based religions, and so, the \par
end times become powerful drama of struggle, fear, power, and they\rquote re quite \par
inspired by it. However, as you know, there are two great motivators - fear \par
and love. There\rquote s a place for the love based religion to eventually become \par
the over encompassing mighty, joyous, spiritual force on this planet. In the \par
meantime, the fear based religions get you through this next apocalypse and \par
beyond. For, it is dirty work to make the world safe from the horror, the \par
evil terrorists who kill the masses and spread plenteous destructions. This \par
is work that must be done in the Correcting Times. Best fear based religions \par
think upon this responsibility, as you are to spread love and bring forth \par
the joy that will replace the great struggle that they call the apocalypse - \par
Armageddon. Of course, it has been repeated many times through the centuries \par
as great and beautiful cities and civilizations have been destroyed to rack \par
and ruin, pillaged libraries burned to the ground, and so, apocalypse is \par
ever present as good and evil play out. This force breeds a stage upon which \par
you are players.\par
\par
And so, what is the honored apocalypse and why would any one believe that \par
this beautiful planet would be laid to rack and ruin when all the evidence \par
points to the opposite? The world of the cross- here, Michael brought down \par
the Lucifer rebellion - Victory - a great achievement, the magnitude of the \par
Lucifer rebellion taking more than thirty planets down into rebellion \par
against God. He triumphed. But, the biggest thing is that He triumphed in \par
the guise of you, as a human. He showed the way. He brought forth the faith \par
in you that He always had in His children, lived through life in this land \par
incarnation and sent the dark prince falling, screaming in ruin, and in \par
discredit. And so, it was not only the victory but also the style in which \par
our magnificent Creator Son set Himself apart. And in like style, He will \par
not only get you through apocalypse to the rebirth of this planet to light \par
and life and the others, as well - all of the others, as well, - but He will \par
do it with a cleverer and cleverer twist. It was mentioned last night that \par
Godless power structures are beginning to self-destruct. I think it an \par
appropriate irony that they destroy themselves as we watch, as we thoroughly \par
survive. But, we build forth a new civilization full of Truth, Beauty and \par
Goodness, and beyond that the hallmark of our special, and clever, and \par
resourceful, and creative Creator Son. So, as you read about massive \par
accounting scandals, corporations stewing in their own corruption, evil \par
vying itself out, death and destruction infuriates and brings forth to \par
higher spiritual service all the good and honest and beautiful people on \par
this planet\par
\par
As you see all these things happening before you, do not think of \par
apocalypse, think of new growth. When I first visited Cincinnati ten years \par
ago there was fear of just these things: economic collapse, nuclear \par
destruction - fear, fear, fear. I said then that these kinds of destructions \par
would be seen. Disintegration is always seen before new growth. That is my \par
story and I\rquote m sticking with it.  And so, we continue to play out this grand \par
scenario on life\rquote s stage on this little planet in this local universe -the \par
struggle of good and evil, and there\rquote s a purpose for that, which we \par
certainly don\rquote t have time to get into. Thus, simply reach beyond apocalypse. \par
What do you have to fear? This is Michael\rquote s planet. This is Jesus\rquote  planet. \par
This is your planet. You are empowered. You are emboldened. You are full of \par
love. Can you see the destruction? Or, can you not see redemption?  \par
Redemption. Would Michael fail? I think not. Would this mission fail? No. \par
And you have nothing to fear from this Teaching Mission. It is relatively \par
simple. We are Morontia teachers coming back to teach people who supposedly \par
know less than we, although, on occasions we may question that. \par
Nevertheless, we stick to our stories, even repeating them endlessly, \lquote til \par
you actually do go into the stillness every day. Do you understand? We \par
nonetheless maintain our good humor when you do not. It\rquote s rough just living \par
in this place. It\rquote s rough in so many ways. And, you are getting through it, \par
and you are getting through the apocalypse in grand fashion. And, you will \par
get through the next apocalypse the same. However, let evil be destroyed and \par
it can be brought down in our lifetime by evil's own hand, as Jesus wants \par
them to destroy themselves. And, don\rquote t invest your currency, your time, and \par
your efforts to institutions that are corrupt and dishonest. It\rquote s time to \par
make a choice and find those strong institutions that can withstand, or new \par
ones that you can build in the glory of a new beginning. It is not an end. \par
It is a new beginning. It\rquote s a beautiful story and it\rquote s true. I thank you for \par
your time tonight. I love you all.\par
\par
This Mission has been joyous for us and we certainly have learned as much as \par
you have, and probably much more, since teachers usually do. We are here for \par
the long haul. We are with you. If you want a teacher, you simply ask. You \par
can simply sit down and put words on paper once you encircle yourself in the \par
loving light of the Father, through worship, or prayer, or whatever. When \par
you ring God\rquote s telephone, God will answer. How could you go wrong in the \par
circle of love? Transmit your words, write down your words and then read \par
them back and see what you think of them. Practice makes perfect as you \par
speak through and learn to release yourself. Just release and don\rquote t try. \par
Speak words without even thinking about what you\rquote re speaking. You perform a \par
good secretarial service and that\rquote s what they need on occasion. But, the key \par
to this Mission is not to go to readings and listen to people like me \par
transmit so much as it is doing this yourself, and, yes, you can. You all \par
have indwelling spirits, Thought Adjustors, who are always, always in \par
charge, especially in liaison with morontia teachers. There\rquote s nothing to \par
fear. You are so in good hands - the same, loving enfolding arms, the \par
everlasting arms of the Father that lives within you. The teachers are here \par
to help. We are here to help, and I pray that we do. We are certainly \par
enjoying you and we are enjoying this beautiful setting with you. Good \par
night.\par

RAYSON (TR: Daniel Raphiel)\par
\par
[Transcriber: The first part of Rayson's address was, unfortunately, not captured on tape (the "record" button did not stick properly.) However, he kindly offered to restate his main points when he addressed the Northern Colorado TeaM on July 7, 2002. Please refer to that transcript.]\par
\par
Rayson: .(tape recorder turned on at this point).which are constructive. They will begin to form new entities of power to enable themselves to satisfy their needs, to help their environment come into balance. The European Economic Unit is one of them. You will see more entities come into being as there become more and more social stresses in your world. Some of these will be distressful and some will not be. The terrorism that your country and the world are experiencing now is one of those elements, but it is highly destructive. We are encouraging, the Most Highs are encouraging the evolution of the strains of social evolution which are positive, constructive, and contribute to the Correcting Time and the New World that is coming into being. The Most Highs are deeply invested in the Correcting time, and their programs invest every activity of humankind. \par
\par
So you see, coming back to Community Building is vitally important that individuals feel empowered and feel capable, that they not feel hopeless or helpless. Of all people in the world who should not feel that way, are you. You who live here in this country and technologically advanced countries should feel highly empowered and highly capable. And when you come to global consciousness, you empower yourself even greater, and when you begin thinking and contemplating of cosmic citizenship, you begin to contemplate the larger structure yet. You begin to open yourself to the larger plans that are available. And when you are flexible and you are willing to be led and guided in opportune ways, you become a part of Michael's Plan. You being here is proof of that. Another question?\par
\par
Student: Rayson, the Urantia Book talks about the United States as the example of our world-wide format, how nations get along and so forth. How progressive are we towards that, and secondly, does that have to happen before we enter into a consciousness of maybe local universe citizenship?\par
\par
Rayson: Your first question-would you repeat that please?\par
\par
Student: The Urantia Book talks about how the United States' format will become the pattern for the world-wide format, and is that soon, and how are we doing there? And is that necessary before we become an open part of the universe, the cosmic part of the universe?\par
\par
Rayson: Your Federalist Republic is the format we are speaking of, with a democratic process, political process. Your states represent the nations of the world, let's say, and your nation itself as a whole, represents the whole world. And as your states cooperate among each other, and with each other, as a whole and individually, this is a good pattern. And, you realize that the states are equal in political authority, that each state is an entity unto its self, it is sovereign under the Federalist, Federal Republic plan. Now, is this necessary before the second part of your question? Yes. There must become a cohesiveness, a cooperation among the nations. The individual sovereignty of nations is necessary in feudal times; it is the next step past the feudal state. Yet it now becomes a detriment to global consciousness and the unification of a world that is moving in that direction. There must be a largess, so to speak, and willingness to give up certain sovereign rights and this must be done carefully and gently. As you see, the trade agreements between North America and South America are beginning to exercise that concept. This is good. Yes, it does cause a bit of economic upheaval in the beginning, but overall, it is a good thing. Thank you for your question.\par
\par
Student: Are there any other factors that we need to consider before Urantia can consider becoming a part of the larger cosmos or Nebadon. I mean, are there any other factors like language, for instance?\par
\par
Rayson: How long is your arm, my son? (Student: Just the high points.) I mean the High points! (Are you saying it's going to be awhile?) Yes, it's going to be awhile. (Is there anything that we could really see.(Inaudible-several people talking at once)...? Many things if you wish them to and you "will" them to. Remember, "Revelation in Action!" You must take action to have revelation occur, and when you have revelation, you also must take action. So it operates as a two-part circle. Do you understand? (I think so.) When you have a revelation, an "Ah Ha," then you must share it and take action, because then you become an operant, functional part of the Correcting Time on an individual basis. And so, you must take action when you have revelation, and when you have revelation, you must take action, and so this is how you will move along. It operates at the individual basis, it is the individual that the Correcting Time is all about, it is the individual who will help heal your world in co-creative cooperation with Michael and His plans, working with your guides, with your Thought Adjuster, using higher values and a belief system that supports them.\par
\par
Student: How about Bush's war on terror-like where's that going, what's the effect on the world community, how do people think about it? (People?) I mean the Spiritual as opposed to the general population.\par
\par
Rayson: It's not our business.\par
\par
Student: Rayson, I'd like to ask you a question about the Urantia Fellowship Government, which is less than perfectly democratic as is the US Government. The Representatives of the Societies feel that there should be more representation from the readers in the elections of the President and Vice President, and that if there is a danger, since they are enemies, without that weakening the government that we have now, the Urantia Fellowship may be a problem. Could you give me an insight on that, as I have to vote on these matters? \par
\par
Rayson: This parallels your current Electoral College, does it not? Where you elect delegates and they decide whom to elect?\par
\par
Student: Well, we elect the General Council, and then those thirty-six people elect the Executive Committee, that is, the four members of the Executive Committee, other than the Chairmen of the different Committees.\par
\par
Rayson: I will answer it this way-this will not come to balance until there is a loss of fear, and when there is a sense of assurance and trust. And what is trust? Feeling safe that your position will remain in good stead, no matter who votes for what individual. This is sometimes a way from coming to balance. I don't believe I answered your question as directly as you had wished, but we do not like to participate or skew your political processes, and this is a political process. (Student: I understand. Thank you.)\par
\par
To go back to your question regarding temporal political affairs, they have a definite affect upon on the course of humankind's events. You have leaders who will do well, and you will have leaders who will not do well. Yet, in the time of great emergency, the times that great leadership is needed, they will come to the fore. We do not participate or guide those events, which you speak about. Yet, we and Thought Adjusters, the Most Highs, are concerned about the generation of new leadership, new moral/ethical leadership, individuals with high values, and firm beliefs and courage, courage to make moral/ethical decisions, even when it may jeopardize political position. \par
\par
We continue to speak about providing a good seed bed for the children who are coming along, and also know that there is guidance, always allowing for "free will" where children grow and meet and come into union with other children, who beget more spiritually infused individuals in your world. You may call this "Celestial Matchmaking," but know also that your lives are guided in ways, of which you are unaware. Yet, always you have sovereign "self-will." This is never abrogated, never violated, even when it involves terrorists who kill thousands of people and jeopardize the safety of millions. Other questions?\par
\par
Student: How we can build a spiritual community without repeating the same mistakes of two thousand years ago? (Rayson: Repeat please.) How can we make a spiritual community on Urantia, without making the same mistakes that were made two thousand years ago when Jesus came to the planet?\par
\par
Rayson: One moment. First of all, is that the individual "must make decisions." And appreciate that each decision that you make throughout the day has an effect upon your life, your community and the lives of others; even small decisions can have large effects. On a larger basis, we wish you to associate with individuals of "like-thinking," and "like and similar beliefs." Further, we ask you to dissuade those who would do wrong and harm to others from taking those courses of actions. Again, we ask you to uphold, and hold those who make decisions, accountable for their decisions in ways that causes them jeopardy of their goods or their position. That sounds coercive, but "wise doves" do those things; they hold people accountable. Hold your leaders accountable to higher values and beliefs. \par
\par
Always make higher-minded decisions. Know and trust that Michael is present, in the Spirit of Truth. Call upon this Truth to be open and invested in you. Do not be afraid to share this Truth with others. Build your community physically, electronically, spiritually. Grow and come into union with others. Know that there are others who think as you do. Hold hope that you can heal this world. Accept and cooperate with the co-creative, healing energies that are present on this planet. Take action, which is positive and constructive. Bless yourself, heal yourself, and help to heal others, in mind and in spirit and in body. We are ready to close? (Student: One more, Rayson?) Yes.\par
\par
Student: I really liked your last answer and it almost answered my question, but I wanted to know what you personally thought about evangelical ministry combined with the Urantia Book and emotionalism that comes from that, and is this another natural out-working or a branch connected to the Urantia Community like the Teaching Mission is, and if there is a danger of people putting too much faith in spiritual leaders and not looking so much within, but looking to the leaders, mortal leaders?\par
\par
Rayson: I apologize, I must work through this mortal's mind (Laughing). I would be pleased to answer your entire question, as I feel it is very worthy of answers. Could you break that into at least twelve parts, please? (Much laughter.) [Daniel: Humor the simplicity of this mechanism!]\par
\par
Student: I am wondering how you feel about evangelical ministry combined with the Urantia Book and the emotionalism that comes from that?\par
\par
Rayson: I am striving to be helpful to answer your questions. It is not one question. There are many involved in that. (Long pause.) I wish I could whisper in your ear! Let me explain what is going on here, please. The mind mechanism of mortals is what we work through, and so, we hear, we operate through the mind mechanism and your words enter this mind, and as this individual has had cognitive damage done to his brain some years ago, there are limitations to the complexity of answers that I can provide through this mechanism. It is a "melding of this mechanism and my voice"-let's put that in quotes-it is not easily understood by you, it is difficult for us to transmit through mortals, as it is. And there are inherent limitations to this process. We wish to always uphold the validity of the process and we will not push the process to get our word out, as we must insure that you feel safe with what comes through. Can we try again?\par
\par
Student: I have a question. Is there any project that our secret government is producing, that is threatening the beings of other dimensions or other planets around us? (Rayson: Yes.) Can you elaborate? (No.) How could we get our government to let us know what they are doing? In other words, if we are the government, we the people have a right to know what is going on. (Tape turned.)\par
\par
[Note: During the turning of the tape, Rayson chose to go back and try to answer the previous question, that of evangelical ministry and emotionalism in connection with the Urantia Book.]\par
\par
Rayson: We do wish the individual to have periods of ecstasy in their union when they come to center and understand their participation and their "oneness" with their Thought Adjuster, that intimate connection, which is so powerful to direct the lives of individuals. But this ecstatic response that occurs often in worship and in connection with the Thought Adjuster must be individual, and to have a group ecstatic experience becomes socially dangerous.\par
\par
Student: Rayson, I have a question that has been bugging me for awhile. I guess this is an opportunity to ask it. The Urantia Book tells us about Jesus being about 6'4", robust, strong individual, but they never tell us about his other features. Considering we have these brown haired, blue-eyed pictures all over of him or whatever, I was wondering if you could tell us about the actual features of the individual?\par
\par
Rayson: He was loving and kind and he showed you an example of how to live, and these are the major features that he wished to exemplify and show to you. His mortal material physicality is not necessary to know; it would not enhance your appreciation of the values he gave you. I apologize for being so sharp with you, but this is not relevant to your decision making in your life, or to the assistance of the spiritualization of your mind or to the assistance of others.\par
\par
Student: Is it kind of like if he had a potbelly.(Rest of sentence drowned out by laughter.) Or if he had ears that poke way out, I mean, we are assuming he had the perfect form, and maybe he didn't look like we think.\par
\par
Rayson: Well, you were talking about "Yoda the Buddha." (Total crack-up of group in laughter!) [This is Daniel: That's good!]\par
\par
Student: Rayson, I just have to ask you, did he have black hair and black eyes? If you can't answer that, I understand, but did he have black hair and black eyes? (Pause) You can't answer that, or the answer is no?\par
\par
Rayson: I cannot answer that. One last question.\par
\par
Student: You talked about how the United States could be an example for World Government. I wonder if there is something simple that we might know about, how different religious traditions might come together?\par
\par
Rayson: That's an honorable question! For one, I did not say that the United Stated exemplified a World Government, but the cooperation of nations on an equal basis, and that sovereignty would be recognized and cooperation would be eminent and prominent among them. World Government is a long ways away. You will not see it in your lifetimes. You can be best assured that if your nations cooperate and avoid fear, then you will have the best situation for your lifetimes.\par
\par
To answer your question regarding religions, religions will not come to oneness until they see their oneness under the Father's example and creation. Their origins are "of man," yet, the emanations and spiritual revelation that came through them came through higher guidance and revelation. This came from an individual connection with deep, spiritual resource, from the Thought Adjuster. And where is the Thought Adjuster resident from? From Divinington, from the First Source and Center. And until religions see their origins from the First Source and Center, they will see themselves as separate. Only when they see themselves as begotten of the One, will they see themselves as having hope of being "One" themselves. One may see the values of the One, First Source and Center, and then they will see the values that they must uphold. And this takes a lot of humility; takes a lot of "giving up" their trusted sovereign positions as authorities of religion. This may not come to pass either, in your lifetimes, for surely, the authorities of religions are often not God-like, but are more political in nature. This is unfortunate. How to overcome the individuation of religions? This is what we are working on too, here. \par
\par
Blessings to you tonight and may I share with you, the blessings of all who are here with you this evening. You are surrounded and infused and rest upon the care and love of your Father, Michael. There is a oneness that pervades the world and that is His love. Be calm, radiant, emissaries in the eminence of Christ's love, Michael's love, and be one of mind through Nebadonia. Know that through the union of love and like-mindedness, you will find harmony and peace among you. And know that guidance is always available, individually and as groups. There is no limitation that your Creator has placed upon you. We wish you well, we love you, and we support you to make good decisions. Good night. \par
\par
Group: Good night, we love you too.\par

AHAMANIDEN MELCHIZEDEK (TR Joilin)\par
\par
Greetings, friends, students. It is I, AhamaNiden Melchizedek. It is great to be amongst you once again; it has been a long, long time and I welcome this opportunity. Not just to challenge my student, but to challenge you as well. This conference, all of the conferences that you attend throughout the year and throughout the years, helps you to grow in so many ways, on so many levels. Oftentimes you are not even aware of those "faith steps" that you have been able to take with the underpinning of the love and support you gain through these conferences. From our perspective, these conferences are as much about the inter-connection between God and His people, and the inter-connection between each of you.\par
\par
And now I would like to leave you this evening with some soul-searching questions, and no, you are not going to be graded on them, and no, you don't even have to answer them now, unless you are comfortable doing that. And if you are comfortable doing that, then I would much enjoy hearing your answers.\par
\par
  1.. In what ways do you, as an individual, support the Kingdom of God, here on Earth? Within and throughout your lives?\par
  2.. In what ways do you promote the Kingdom of God, through your life vehicle?\par
  3.. How do you come to recognize that every single person, every man, every woman, every child, that comes within a close proximity of your person, is an opportunity for you to allow the Father to reach out and touch their lives? Have you come to that realization, that everyone, no matter their culture, no matter their economic station in life, no matter their age, their gender, no matter what-every man, woman and child that comes within your life's arena is there for a purpose, either to gain something from you, some piece of knowledge, or perhaps, love and understanding that they might not get anywhere else in their lives; or, they are there to teach you something, to give you a gift. Have you come to recognize that within your own lives, at this point?\par
  4.. Do you know when the Father is working through your life? Can you hear His still, so small voice within the chaos of your own minds? Do you understand what it means to seek the Stillness, to go within, for truly it is within, where the Kingdom can be found? You each, have within you a Divine Adjuster, He who spends all his hours loving you, supporting you, guiding you, teaching you, would you but be still and listen. Do you listen? Do you "still" your minds each day, to just listen? \par
There are those who believe that "seeking the stillness" means I must "sit," every day, in "this" easy chair, and close my eyes and be still. And for many, this works. \par
\par
Are there any here, for whom this does not work? When this does not serve you, due to time constraints or the chaos within your own minds, let me give you, perhaps, a different direction, a different idea that you might take on within the construct of your own day: Do you speak to the Father within your own minds throughout your day? What do you tell Him? Do you share with Him the delights that fill your lives? The joys that you behold? The inspiration that you may gain through a movie, a book, or simply in looking on one of His sunsets, or within the eyes of one of His children? Those are, in essence, "mini-stillness'," although perhaps, they are not so still. You play a more interactive role in that kind of stillness, in that kind of worship. \par
\par
But during those times, let us say that you are sitting at the riverside and listening to the tumbling water, watching the birds, the butterflies, looking at the flowers; and it's sunset, and as you watch, the sky becomes a beautiful panoramic of color-purples, mauve, orange, yellow, blue, green even sometimes-and you are uplifted by the sound and the sights that He's given you. Surely, an inspiring sight! Most, if not all of you, have spent time with Him like this, and are uplifted and inspired by the peace and the beauty that you behold. Do you share your feeling with Him then? \par
\par
This one was given an analogy a number of years ago, about why it is important to share with the Father, these special times, these special moments; not just our sorrows, not just our challenges, in these times we seek His understanding, we seek His support, and His love. But in the periods when you are not being bombarded with the onslaught of challenges, when you are given that space in time to take a mental, emotional time-out, and fill yourselves with His inspiration. \par
\par
The analogy goes something like this: There is a young boy and he's standing outside a baseball diamond, he's outside the fence. One lonely little boy (or little girl) and they are watching a ballgame take place. It's just a neighborhood ballgame, it's not a "big deal," but he/she wants so much to be a part of that ballgame. He can see the game, can he not, through the wire fence? Certainly. He can enjoy the game as he watches, but how much more enjoyment would he gain, if the boys on the playing field were to open the gate and say, "Come in. Come in and play with us. Share the game with us." And that's the analogy that I would leave you with.\par
\par
Share with the Father. Take a snapshot, a mental snapshot of all of the beauty that you see, whether the beauty is in the baby's face that you are looking on, or the flower, or the sky, or a ninety-five year old woman who is sitting, smoking her cigarette, as this one recently saw, and understood that there was someone in pain, next to her. This woman was on oxygen, she had pneumonia, and she asked this woman if she could pray for her? And while she was sitting there, puffing her cigarette, doing herself mortal harm, if you will, she put her arms out and held the woman's hands, and prayed a prayer for this woman, the like of which she'd never heard before. And this ninety-five year old woman took on a persona, was more beautiful than anyone in her life that she had seen that day. These are the important things to share with the Father-Oh, He knows they're going on, certainly-it is because of His Spirit in each of you, and in each person on this planet, that these kinds of moments happen in your lives; they are intended to support you on many levels, they are intended to be catalysts for you to step out of your comfort zone, and do the Father's acts. Not being concerned with the outcome, but simply allowing Him the move through you and touch the lives of those who are brought before you. I challenge you, each, to think on these words, on these questions, over the next days of this conference, and endeavor each day to touch in some way, each person that comes before you. Allow Him to move through you, and allow Him to move through them to you. And I thank you for your patience and your understanding, and for allowing this one to challenge herself, one more time. Shalom. \par

ESTES PARK, COLORADO--JUNE 30th--JULY 6th\par
TeaM Meeting  / July 3, 2002\par
ABRAHAM (TR: Nina Mckee)\par
\par
I am here. I am Abraham. Greetings. I am in understanding that to many this process of communication seems strange and not aligning with your text book (UB). I would reiterate that this time in the history of your world you are at a crucial crossroads of change.\par
\par
Lo these many years, we have been making efforts toward swaying the mass-mind-set toward practical spirituality. Concepts are born every day and without education and putting these concepts into practical use they will die. That is certainly acceptable but there is a danger in losing those practical realities that either drives a world's people toward animalistic tendencies or mystical non-reality. It is our hope in this Correcting Time to bring a balance of logical spiritual action.\par
\par
The Teaching Mission brings your text book to life. You can study all you want but putting these concepts into practical living takes a great deal of effort. We are here to help move you forward to the actual living of the principles of the Urantia Book. The book can seem a bit technical or mechanistic. We are hoping to bring a balance to this book of truth by adding love, and making God, the Father, more reachable or perhaps useable.\par
\par
As you have seen in religious history there is imbalance where there seems to be a need for an individual to stand above the rest, a need for certain individuals to appear to be more righteous or holy. The Correcting Time--Teaching Mission brings a blended balance of Christ-like humility and a secure consciousness of universal well-being.\par
\par
The Master did all that was divinely and humanly possible to defer any self-glory. His mission was straight forward, looking toward the Father and His will. How did Jesus of Nazareth, maintain a wonderfully balanced ministry where His eye was single to the glory of God? How was the Master so\par
perfected in self-forgetfulness? Why was any self-elevation so distasteful to Him? \par
\par
Our Master simply knew the Father's love. He had all He needed, in this there was no desire to call attention to Himself to gain the love and respect of His fellows. There was no joy for Him in self-glory. His complete joy was found solely in the Father's love. He was very secure, which unfortunately, many in the mortal experience are lacking. Of course, Jesus realized His divinity early on, and certainly this was a great asset. It is understood that you, on a strife-torn world, would experience a personal and collective insecurity. It is our goal in this Correcting Time to bring back \par
what has been lost, to correct what has been wrong, to bring light where there has been darkness. \par
\par
Citizens on worlds settled in Light and Life have not the knowledge of this insecurity, for they have been educated from the day they were brought into existence that they are valued and loved, no matter what. They seek not to step upon their fellows backs to rise above and be seen as superior, \par
all for the gratification of the ego. They work not against each other. The concepts of the various social classes means nothing to them. The citizens are all indeed parts working for the good of the whole. What is good for one is good for all. What affects one, affects all. Indeed these Light and Life \par
residents are wholly secure in their citizenship, in their faith as a son or daughter of God.\par
\par
In the Teaching Mission, we strive to bring back that lost security--to make every individual feel valued and loved and a part of the universe. Not one is closer to God than another. In God's eyes, He loves each child as if it were His only child. Our Mission is to unify, to equal the imbalances that\par
tend to come with the mortal ego. I am saying we are here to assist, not to shame nor guilt you into spiritual submission. Our goal is to bring personal spiritual security. Not one stands above any one of you.\par
\par
Spiritual knowledge does not make one individual any more valued than another. To have that spiritual security brings new confidence to be in the world with an eye single to the glory of God. There is not any spiritual practice really that can make you have more faith. There are many rituals\par
mortals perform hoping to invoke Gods presence. I am saying, God's presence is there already--no matter what--no more, no less. It matters not the time or mind-set. He is always there. It is your willingness to allow what you think you want and need to dissolve that will bring you more spiritual\par
security, more cosmic connection.\par
\par
For the remainder of the Conference ponder your spiritual security, your personal mortal security also. Contemplate your status in the Kingdom. Measure your faith/trust factor with what your eyes tells you is reality. Know that you are each safely secured within the love of the Father and His Kingdom. Are there questions?\par
\par
Q: Thank you Abraham. I was hoping you would ask that. For the last several months in the Teaching Mission certainly Daniel and Minearsa, our group teachers, and many of the transcripts, have dealt with living the morontia life now. Also our role as cosmic citizens--and obviously those are some of the emphasis that are on at the Conference this week--it seems to me that the celestials are not just busy with Teaching Mission folks, but maybe with also other leadership in spiritual realms. I was just wondering if you could talk about that?\par
\par
Abraham: Absolutely. This would apply to all who would listen. As we move toward Light and Life there has to be a great deal of healing and correction, just as it would happen on the Mansion worlds. The Morontia lessons are occurring now. Where many are lacking there will be instructions for overcoming and taking on a new and better way of living. The upheaval in the world today, a lot of it, is due to having this morontial information but struggling with the ego and the desire for power and superiority. Yes, we are reaching whoever will listen, yes. Thank you.\par
\par
Question: Abraham, what is the new role of men in this Correcting Time?\par
\par
Abraham: I would be careful in my answer. There are many things that men must overcome and a great deal of the difficulties stem from ego involvement. Fortunately however, the willingness on the part of men to stop enforcing their beliefs and be more in a state of receiving and listening, will be a giant leap forward. I personally have witnessed that steel exterior of many men break down through the realization of the changing times. Man will be left alone if he would continue to carry on in a fashion where he believes he is superior to women, to children, yes. The evolution of the world has been a informative map to guide men toward a new way of thinking. History has been your best teacher. The breakdown of the family, although truly sad, has been very educational. You can see the damage children have suffered for having no fatherly experience, or negative experience with male figures. I perceive men's future roles as one who would grasp self-mastery for themselves, to portray a beautiful example for others. While man is wholly free to do as he wishes, he finds some joy in\par
that. Many men are missing out on the valuable experience of family. With this there is a damaged self-esteem that drives men toward further self-destructive behavior. A family is a builder of security, a reflection of your life's work, an introduction into the eternal career. We are with great faith that men have heard our message and are positively responding.We foresee wonderful changes ahead, yes. Good question. Thank you.\par
\par
Q: We know that the Midwayers, of course, were the initial partners in bringing us Part IV of the Urantia Book. We know that the sleeping subject is mentioned in the other parts of the Book, and it is curious to me that some people are saying that celestial contact was broken when the book was\par
compiled, and then published in 1955. I am wondering if you could give us any insight to show us that indeed celestial contact was NOT broken, but has continued--not just renewed at this time in the Correcting Time?\par
\par
Abraham: The contact was not broken, no, but there is always a pause in bestowing spiritual information. There needs to occur a number of evolutionary things that bring the minds of mortals up to date. To bring too much information is asking for man to become fanatical and off balance. The\par
Midwayer's involvement is monitored and guided to go with a flow of natural evolution. Am I answering? (Yes and no. When you said that a certain amount of time had to occur and that the mortal mind had to be ready for it, my mind immediately thought of - from the time that the Book was completed and the time that it was published - we had World War, the Korean War and certainly the Viet Nam War followed that. Maybe the mortal minds were not ready to receive? I don't know if I'm putting words into your mouth. I just thought of that as you were talking.)\par
\par
Abraham: Understood. There are regulated spiritual concepts bestowed, but never are the spiritual forces to pull away or leave and not help continue to guide. Wars will still continue. Man will still fight for sovereignty, power and money, and much of his fighting will be done in the name of God.\par
There is always divine assistance, but the delivery of new concepts are based on the readiness of individuals. Is this helping? (Yes, and thank you.) One more question.\par
\par
Q: Abraham, one question. There's a mind-set, maybe, that says there should be a 'Urantia church' establishment--an organized church-setting. This is probably something you'd like to stay out of, but if you would have a comment on that? It is a concept that is generating even here at this Conference.\par
\par
Abraham: Indeed, this is controversial. You can see for yourselves that still the mind of man fights to push his own agenda. This is difficult. A spiritual worship community would be productive if based on the teachings of the Urantia Book, and perhaps other things that leads towards a practical practice of spirituality, not toward mystical, but toward putting practical spirituality into everyday living. An organized church would be helpful if it brought man closer to God. If an organized church excludes certain individuals, does that bring man closer to God? If a church brings further insecurity to individuals, is that true work for the Father? No. A church that would be successful gives full sovereignty to Father. The church allows Father to organize, to bring healing, to bring balance to His children's lives, to make His child feel loved, welcomed and an important part of the whole. I can say no more. (Thank you, Abraham.)\par
\par
I am slipping. I would take my leave. I would also express to you my deep and abiding love for you each. I am truly touched by the faith and dedication you have for embracing our beloved Sovereign's Mission. My love goes with you. Until next time, shalom. \par

DANIEL (TR Bill K.)\par
\par
Dear Friends, I am Daniel. Welcome Cosmic Citizens to this celebration of Truth, Beauty and Goodness. Indeed are you all becoming more and more aware of the wondrous, Celestial Realms, not only the starry heavens, but most importantly, the vast family of Cosmic Citizens of "Free-will Status," all sons and daughters, and therefore brothers and sisters, of the Living God. Your understanding of life is expanding, for you have reached the point where you see both the origins and the destinies of your choices, based upon your natures as both animal origin creatures and Adjuster indwelt mortals. \par
\par
Your time in history is crucial. We are indeed, the first wave of the invasion of Light and Life, which is coming to the shores of Urantia. The tide is rising; the tide, which will raise all boats, and this tide of divine and human progress is unstoppable! I, Daniel, am a Teacher in the Corps of Emergency Intervention under the auspices of our Planetary Prince, Machiventa Melchizedek. I have served for almost ten and a half years in the Southeast corner of Idaho. I am a volunteer, as all of the Teachers are; I was once a mortal on a planet in the early stages of Light and Life; I was married, I had children, I was a Physician/Psychiatrist, as you would understand it. It has been my great joy to be one of the Teachers to this group of mortals, which has been my assignment. \par
\par
But today, you gather in understanding of the scope of this planetary intervention, this emergency mission, in that the circuitry, which is now re-connecting, provides a sense of communion and connection, which is at a level unique in the history of Urantia. You are losing your sense of orphan-hood, and gaining your sense of place at the table of the universe. We have been giving lessons on learning to live as Morontia Beings, while yet in the mortal realms. These lessons are the same in many ways, as what a normal planet would receive from its Spiritual Administration of Adam and Eve. It is not without solace that Urantia is the focus of the eyes of Nebadon. This planet, has indeed been more stressed by the Caligastia Betrayal than any others, but its misfortunes became its greatest blessing, for Christ Michael, our now Universe Sovereign, chose this place because of its misfortunes and darkness, to manifest the reality of the Love of God, in human flesh.\par
\par
My "budding Cosmic Citizens," my true brothers and sisters, lift up your eyes so that you see through and past the mortal level, to perceive the souls of your brothers and sisters. Arouse your senses that are of Morontial origin, so that you can be forgiving of the greatest harm, and hurts, so that you can see beauty in the most despicable of human situations, so that you can hear the bells of truth ring from the strangest corners and most unexpected of places. Just as we are coming as the first wave of this invasion of spiritual pressure, so are you also the first wave. You who have the Fifth Epochal Revelation, you who know that in your heart there is a piece of eternity, the very God who organizes this vast, glorious universe, you who walk behind our Master and follow in His footsteps, yes, you all are the invasion of light into the darkness. Now, I know some of you look at world events, and you see no evidence that the Adjudication is here and completed, it appears perhaps that the Lucifer Rebellion continues to triumph in the hearts of men and women. We are trying to tell you, "Question your perception, challenge your understanding, don't be seduced into believing that good is only white spots on a great, black background. Don't let your attention be controlled by the sensation seeking of profit-based news reporting. Realize that Jesus, our Master, identified the major sickness of His time, which has now become a virtual epidemic, the sickness of materialism, the distortion of values, so that the worship of the "bottom line" as profit replaces the worship of God, who is, after-all, the First Source and Center of all things and beings.\par
\par
You who are American citizens celebrating your Independence Holiday, need to remember your origins tonight, and every night, you desired freedom from tyranny, the choice of your own leadership. That is the privilege of developing a form of government and a way of life, so that you would be free of the tyranny of another nation, and now you are enslaved by materialism. It is time for another "independence day" experience. Break out! Break out of this materialism, my friends. Not only for yourselves, for you for the most part understand what I am saying, bring this issue up to your friends. Show them how it is destroying the culture of this great country, and its Twin Towers, which represent the very "gods of materialism" themselves in the minds of many, have been shattered at great human loss and cost. You have far more of the wealth of the world than you should keep. Be free from your shackles of materialism and share with the rest of this world. Let your democracy, your Union of States under a sovereignty of the Federal over-control, be what the Urantia Book says it can be, a model for the "true democracy" of humankind, world-wide.\par
\par
Finely now, as you look up to the stars, and you behold the heavens that Michael has created, and you look beyond this to the Superuniverses, and you go beyond that with your telescopes and your instruments of detection to the outer space realms, and as you ponder the Central Universe on the other side of the Milky Way, feel that you a part of this whole. You are a Cosmic Citizen! You are a citizen of the United States, or some other country, you are working toward becoming a world citizen and this vision of cosmic citizenry will keep you stable. There is much to be grateful for, indeed. Every thing that comes to you, when you have offered your life to God, to be in His guidance, everything that comes to you, is a gift. It is your gift to transform those circumstances by your decisions at higher and higher levels of integration, so that your life becomes a significant addition to the expression and completion of the Supreme Being.\par
\par
This conference is united. Spiritual Truth is flowing like a river. Service opportunities abound. [Man (?)] can be plucked from the tree, just as an apple hangs there, ripe and ready. Rejoice my friends, for you are all doing well. The love of God is in you. My peace, farewell.\par

CORELLI (TR Stella)\par
\par
Good evening friends. This is Corelli. I am a long-time acquaintance of Stella, who we were glad to say, agreed to transmit. She is a reluctant transmitter, however, will agree to transmit. We greet you at this wonderful place at Colorado; there are thousands of us here. We all volunteered from various planets, now that the circuits are being opened. This was under the direction of Christ Michael and Prince Machiventa. \par
\par
The ideas for these transmissions took place many hundreds of years ago, after Jesus' death on the cross. The idea was that this world needed much spiritual upliftment. There were many attempts during the past thousands of years, ranging from the Prince Caligastia One Hundred, who arrived on the Persian Gulf, to Adam and Eve, Melchizedek, and even our Lord Jesus. These were successful to a certain extent. However, we felt that possibly the best way would be to reach people on a personal level. \par
\par
And we are happy to report that the success of the Teaching Mission has gone even beyond our expectations. We now have contacts, not only in the United States, but also in Canada, Mexico and it is happening in the Orient and in Europe. Many of these people are astounded, as you were, Stella, when they are contacted. Some refuse to go along with what they call this "strange phenomena," but some do agree and we are so happy to welcome them. There are thousands of transmissions, all with the aim of spiritually enlightening the human race. \par
\par
Your country includes many of various religious faiths; all of them are good to a certain extent. However, many of them still preach the doctrine of "blood atonement," that God is a "wrathful master" and is eager to seize on any wrongdoing. We hope that with these individual contacts, that these erroneous ideas are laid to rest. This may take many, many years because many people are very reluctant to leave their old traditions. Much of this is due to fear that if they question God or the holy writ with which they have been brought up, that somehow God will be displeased and will punish them in some degree or another. These punishments, they think, take the form of the death or loss of someone, of a loss of jobs, a lack of money, lack of education. But these are not the results of God's wrath; rather they are the results of human greed, or not caring enough for their fellow man.\par
\par
God gave you a beautiful world. It will be up to each and every one of you to bring about a better world of love and kindness to one another, to participate in your government so that you have a government responsive to your needs. There is no need for this great suffering, this hunger, disease, lack of homes, corruption in business and in government. You must all be vigilant. God cannot do this; He can work through you, He can suggest paths of endeavor, but it is strictly up to you. \par
\par
As you know, many people still blame Satan for the wrongdoing that they do. In reality, these actions that may be evil or corrupt, stem from their own innate reasoning or acting. So we beg of you, go out into your communities, be loving to all those who are in need; help them as much as you can in your circle of friends and in your communities, but also look at the larger picture. This larger picture is influenced by your actions on an individual level. What you do, what you bring to your community, radiates out of your particular area, and people will recognize that what you are doing is for the good. \par
\par
One of the greatest teachings on your planet is doing the "greatest good for the greatest many." As you start in your own way, this will radiate out to others and eventually, it will encompass the world. Many of you are still afraid that the world will end with Armageddon, End of Time, that some Anti-Christ is out there-none of this is true! God and Jesus never taught such erroneous ideas. The God that sent Jesus is a loving God, and it is a "Just" Universe. You may feel you are suffering greatly, and many of you are, but with the help of fellow man, this can be eradicated. But never, never believe that God was the instrument of this ugliness that exists in many parts of the world and in your own country. \par
\par
We are reassured that there is a growing awareness that we are responsible for our brother's keep, and for our sister's keep, and for our children. And we must all work together to create this better world, which is the first step in ushering in the Age of Light and Life. Our Lord Michael, sends greetings to you all. You are loved, more than you can believe. And do not be afraid, any one of you, that somehow your little missteps will jeopardize your Eternal Life. All that is negative will fall away from you. And if you but choose Eternal Life, your rewards will be great, you will have an opportunity to do that, which you failed to do in this life, or were unable to do because of circumstances beyond your control. But know one thing-you are loved! \par

This is a Just Universe; Christ Michael will never allow the world, the planet of His birth and death to be destroyed. Man is too puny, too small in the cosmos to destroy something that was created by Christ Michael. Certainly, there is much you can do; your air, your water, your land, your forests-they must all be preserved. And we can see people who are very concerned, and they are working to preserve a world that future generations can enjoy. \par
\par
We thank you for the privilege of being here. There are many, many watching in this room today. They love you, they are so eager to contact you. So do not be afraid, if by chance, you should hear a little voice some day, say, "This is So-and so. I would like to contact you." So please do it. We love you and we send you our love. Good night.\par

MICHAEL (TR Julie O.)\par
\par
Good evening I am Christ Michael.  It has taken me three days to build this transmitters courage, so be aware.  I must also crack jokes for her so be aware.  \par
I wish to thank all those transmitters before.  It is indeed a privilege to work with individuals who wish to open their hearts and their minds, for teachers and myself to transmit through.  It is truly a blessing in which we are able to grow on our side, to understand how the Urantians mind works, through your traditions, rituals, your daily pattern of life.  It is truly an opportunity for the transmitters to grow as well, for this opens them up to other stronger teachers.  It also helps build their Thought Adjuster connection.  So truly when the adjudication was completed and Urantia was open to the circuitries once again, this allowed all of the Correcting Times to begin now upon Urantia.  It is a long process, but a worthwhile process.  \par
\par
As this planets circuitry continues to up-step you will notice in each of your lives more of a spiritual aspect of yourself that you have not noticed before.  We are in the process of trying to blend your Morontial Self with your physical self. This is a long-term project, as you are aware, the Correcting Times is a long-term project.  The more volunteers we have to accept more spiritual responsibility in trying a stronger connection with their Thought Adjusters, to develop a stronger connection to their teachers, this gives you individually a strength that overcomes most of Urantia\rquote s pit falls.  \par
\par
As you are aware the Thought Adjuster turns into a Thought Controller.  And with each step you take with the Thought Adjuster, these steps bring you closer to a bond with the Father.  The Father Fragment with in you is an active individual with a love that the Father shows you.  We are pleased to say that everyone here is a true survivor and has a very active Thought Adjuster.  So this is where you may give yourself an applause or a pat on the back.  \par
\par
As your Brother and Sovereign I have watched Urantia go through many stages.  Truly I am blessed to be a Urantian as well as your sovereign of Nebadon.  Please continue in your quiet times, your spiritual growth.  Each year you will see drastic changes within your spiritual self as well as in your physical self, in that the spirit and soul are becoming closer together, in your daily walk, in your daily lives.  This is shown through small acts of kindness as well as through great acts of volunteering, or being of service of any kind to your fellow man, women and children included.  (laughing)  Thank you for laughing. (more laughing)  as I said, levity keep this one calm.\par
\par
As you continue on your Urantia path know that your teachers are with you, your Guardian Angels are with you, Midwayers interact with you.  As you continue to be aligned with the circuits it is an opportunity for spiritual teacher connection but a greater opportunity for the Father connection.  That is the ultimate goal of the Thought Adjust, is to bring you through to Fusion.  So, when your are in an experience and you have to wonder how your got there you can blame your Thought Adjuster (laughter).  Also remember that as an Urantian you do have a delightful sense of humor.  And as a Reversion Director comes in contact with you be kind to them they are trying to understand you.  (Laughter) \par
 \par
Your teachers are truly remarkable individuals, I wish you to be aware that a teacher is only approved of by your individual Thought Adjuster.  So what ever comes your way you can then blame your Thought Adjuster again.\par
\par
I am so privileged to be among you. I have truly been among you in this conference.  I truly applaud the Urantia group for their steadfast in understanding the Urantia Book, the revelation of Urantia, and moving forward into a Light and Life era.  That is the goal of the Urantia movement and of all the Celestials around you.  Since this is my birth planet I am thoroughly delighted to be among you in this corrective time.  There is a saying \ldblquote be careful your Big Brother is watching\rdblquote .  (much laughing and joy ---- someone say says thank you for watching, Michael replies:  My pleasure, but remember you have guardian angels who \ldblquote rat\rdblquote  on you as well ---.more laughing.)  \par
\par
So now as this ones anxiety continues on I will close for others, there are always others here who wish commune with you, to converse with you.  Know that you are being watched over.  Big Brother may be watching but so is Big Sister, Nebadonia. Whenever you work in your garden plant a flower for Her, nurture it as She nurtures you.  She sends Her greetings and Her love and Her devotion.  To all upon Urantia, I love you, I am devoted to you and I serve you. Goodnight.\par

MOST HIGHS (TR Leoma--quite new to this TeaM TRing, yet, so clear.)\par
\par
I come before you, my children, anxious, eager, delighted you are here. Do you know that the love you have fills not only this building, but expands? Everyone at this camp, here present, though they are not aware, are affected by your very presence. It cannot help but be felt, and it will connect people in ways they do not know. They do not need to understand; it simply IS. Do you know how much you are loved? Oh my! When you gather in this way, there is such rejoicing! Do you know what an accomplishment it is that you are here together? Sharing? \par
\par
And it is so true that when you only come in close proximity to one another, light is shared, your connections are strengthened, your hearts are expanded-this is what happens when you are among people who do not know this, people who need it so much. When you go on your daily walk, in the grocery store, standing in line, waiting at the stop light, even those are opportunities to send light, to give love to people.\par
\par
You are in the presence. You are in the presence of the highest reality of the Most High. There is no name to be given. Do not think of this as a single personality. It is an amalgam, a gathering, just as you are gathered here. It is many brought together, for that is the only way it can be expressed. You, my children, are so beloved. \par
\par
You are on this planet, each of you, by choice, in this specific time. Each of you, you have heard the word "volunteer" many times tonight, you are volunteers to be here in this time, on this planet. Each of you came with the intent of the general purpose of upraising, uplifting, helping with the Correcting Time. And yet, each of you has an individual purpose, but they are all connected. Of course they are! Every contact you make has meaning and purpose. Every contact! Even those you do not recognize as such, for, as I said earlier, your very proximity raises the frequency of the one near you. Notice this. Some of you can change the frequency of people in a room, simply by entering it. As you grow on your progression path, this will become more and more evident. It will become "second nature" to you. \par
\par
The things you have experienced, the energy you have been "in the flow of" this week, are but a foretaste, a tiny bite of what is to come, even yet, in your lifetime, but even more so as you progress on from this life. My children let me say again, how much you are loved! The Father, the Mother, Christ Michael-we are all here. Know that! Within every cell of your being! Allow yourselves to be filled with the Light of this reality. Even when you feel your darkest moments, we enfold you, and lift you, as much as you can allow. It is your "intent" that helps this Light to flow. The more you pay attention to the flow, and to opening every cell to the Light, the more you will realize it is reality for you. Let me indicate again, how each of you is connected, strands of light between you. Oh, if you could see yourselves as we do! You would never again have any doubt or fear, nor could you have any hatred or remorse. Never again could you have a negative thought. \par
\par
We look upon you as creatures of Light-evolving, yes, becoming, yes-moving ever closer to the Father, who is so near and pulls you, draws you, such a long way to Him. Yes, there is a long journey before you. Try to embrace the idea that this may be the best part. Life on this planet is truly a privilege, and you have chosen to be part of it, now! You have all traveled here from distant parts, and you are all here in one time, one moment, one place; and when this conference is ended, you will go out again to distant places. But those heart connections, the lines of Light, will remain; and the more you keep in contact with one another, through thought, prayer, e-mails, letters, remembrance-even the ones you never really met-the more you can keep the connections bright. We see this as a great network of Light. Embrace this in your thoughts and ideas. Visualize it. It will grow!\par
\par
My friends, I think this is enough for tonight. Thank you.\par
\par
[Note from transcriptionist: I wish that I could convey in print, the voice quality and unique delivery of this message. It is unlike any that I have ever heard. It is truly inspirational and profound in love expression.]\par
