<P>Dirk: It is our intention today to receive communications from our unseen
friends, our teachers, those associated with the Teaching Mission and the
Correcting Time, under the auspices of the Melchizedeks, Michael and Nebadonia.
We will observe a Stillness period and when we feel the merkaba energy is
established, we will link up and be ready to receive. (Long pause.) I feel we
are linked with the merkaba. Is there anyone who would speak with us today?</P>
<P>Good afternoon students, this is Teacher Rayson. (Group greetings.) And how
are you? (Ready for another lesson.) Yes, the energy is "just right" in this
room today and we have a room full of guests on both sides of the veil, so to
speak. Our first speaker is Arista.</P>
<P>Arista: Good afternoon students. (Group greetings.) We have talked about
"Belonging" in our previous session. Today we will continue with this idea of
belonging in your time, in your space—we are making this very personal—in your
skin, in your body, in your mind. Re-owning the pieces of you who you’ve
scattered amongst your environment, your relationships, your friends, and your
work. Yes, and even the things you’ve owned; the pieces you’ve placed on the
things and in the things you’ve owned—your vehicles, your toys, your tools, your
furniture, your domicile. If you feel scattered, it is time to "pick up your
room," so to speak. </P>
<P>And how would you reclaim these pieces? Can you do it yourself? Do you
recognize that you have placed part of yourself in the object? Your energy will
come back to you by stating your <B>intention</B>, as you have witnessed here
with Dirk’s Reiki treatment and the intention of this meeting. You can reclaim
your pieces by stating your intention and following through with your prayer.
Your steps upon the path of Father will become more certain and sure, as you
claim your pieces. Your joy will become more complete, as you bring pieces back
home; your love will be more fulfilling as you re-assemble, become stronger.
</P>
<P>You may wonder how will this affect your relationships, what will change?
Will you be "all there?" Imagine yourself divided as you have found yourself on
many occasions, trying to answer the phone, cook a meal, tend to the children,
do a multitude of chores all at the same time. Would it not be wonderful to
attend to each in it’s own turn with your full attention and your full love and
care? Note too, that your sense of completion and fulfillment is enhanced as you
re-assemble your pieces. You become "in the moment" with your Creator,
step-by-step, hour-by-hour, and the gift you have assembled to present to your
loved ones and friends is that which the Father intended, your whole being in
attendance. Thank you students. I have completed my portion of the lesson today.
(Group: Thank you Arista.)</P>
<P>Rayson: I think we’ll take a short break here, the TR needs a moment.</P>
<P>*****************</P>
<P>Dirk: Let’s get everyone hooked up here. Let’s do a single tone, nnnnnnnnnn.
Okay. Yes, we are hooked to the merkaba again. Teacher Rayson, thank you for
your patience.</P>
<P>Rayson: Yes, students, I am back. [Rayson, this is Dirk. Dick is beginning
his training to receive and would like the opportunity to do so in this
afternoon’s session. Perhaps a little later?] Wonderful! I look forward to this
experience, as you say, later.</P>
<P>I am inclined to deal with questions this afternoon. Have we questions?</P>
<P>Student: I’m brand new here, I’ve never been here before, but I have a
question about mental illness. I guess I just want to know, when you have mental
illness in the family, is it true that you can be spiritually healed without
harsh psychotropic drugs? I guess I want assurance that spiritual systems really
are dominant over physical systems and I guess I’m looking for "hope" for a
family member. I don’t know if it is really illness—I don’t know what it is—it’s
stressful.</P>
<P>Rayson: I see, yes. These are the most difficult. Like any good program of
help, it is necessary to clean up the animal part prior to close examination of
that which is called "mental illness." Get the system operative with [pure]
water, and pure food, energy, as you know. Stress is difficult; the combination
of factors—previous experience, lack of love, fear—early on creating problems
that enlarge, becoming endemic, systemic. It is as with the other medical
problems, you do what you can with the environment and seek assistance with the
other problems, sometimes psychotropic drugs, sometimes not. </P>
<P>Still, as you have learned from your book, "What the Father wills, IS." There
have been many heavy addictions cancelled in moments. There have been certain
classes of previously diagnosed mental problems eradicated in seconds. If it is
not a physiological problem and amenable to purification of the system, we could
not, the Father could not, so-called "cure" a person with major mental
disarrayments of physical systems. There are many examples of healing, physical
and mental. Yes, it’s possible. Does this help?</P>
<P>Student: Yes it does. It gives me something positive and concrete to work on.
(You’re welcome.)</P>
<P>Student: I have a question on that same topic. (Yes.) If you are living with
someone with serious irrational episodes, what is the best, the most spiritual,
the most healing way to deal with them on a day to day, intimate basis?</P>
<P>Rayson: Has this irrationality been ascribed to any particular problem?</P>
<P>Student: Well, the person says he’s suffering from depression and he knows
that he is mentally ill. He also has physical problems, viruses.</P>
<P>Rayson: So it’s not induced chemically through drugs or alcohol or those
kinds of situations? (Student: No, no.)</P>
<P>Rayson: Does he/she believe in God? (Student: Believe, yes;
<I>experience</I>, I don’t believe so.) Can this person accept love? (When his
state of mind is healthy, yes. In the irrational states, I haven’t experienced
anything effective to bring him out of it.) In your physical contact with this
person, when you hug him, do you feel it sinking in? Does it get through? Can
you feel, for instance, warmth on the person’s back when they are being
embraced? (Sometimes, not always. Sometimes healing energy seems to just bounce
right back or stay on the surface.) Is there a pattern to the depression?
(Depression always comes after the rages; sometimes lasts for hours, sometimes
for days.) Have you observed that they come after a certain sequence of events,
during the rage or the depression? Are they attached to anything? For instance,
some people cannot stand to go on vacation; they will have headaches and get
extremely cranky if they are about to go and have a good time; their system will
not let them do it. Have you observed anything similar as to when these occur?
(Winters are worst.) "Winters are worst." (If it were predictable, it would be
easier to figure out ways to deal with it.) Yes. Has this person stated that
they truly want out of this depression and/or rages? (No.) It is long going and
comfortable? (Apparently.) I see. Please wait a moment, I will summon a Health
Advisor. (Thank you.)</P>
<P>Health Advisor: Good afternoon, (Group greetings.) Rayson requested my
presence and filled me in as to the circumstances. I am inclined to give you the
spiritual part that I would give first, to see if this rings a bell for you. It
seems these rages followed by depressions are long standing, perhaps back to the
childhood of this individual, and it would be a valid question to ask if he (or
she) can confront the person or circumstance over which he had this rage and
subsequent depression. He is "recycling" into attempting to do the "hard work"
of Michael, to close those situations in his past that are open wounds, that
prevent him from loving, prevent him from being whole, from feeling, from his
emotions. His emotions are blocked; he can only take them out and play with them
when he receives the signals that it’s time—time of year, time of day, time of
similar circumstances. </P>
<P>Our Master is prepared to "walk and support" this individual in confronting,
facing the original circumstances of his blockage, and gently helping him
through it. When it is no longer energized with fear and anger and rage and
hatred, and the poison has been removed, it will be closed with love and
forgiveness of himself, forgiveness of whomever was involved with in this
circumstance. Now that is a difficult prescription that few reach here on
Urantia, few accomplish it; rest assured it will be accomplished on your mansion
worlds, if not here. Although food and nutrition and energy—is this person
amenable to Reiki treatment? (Yes.)—smoothing the energies and food and
nutrition may perhaps mitigate the severity of these outbreaks. Though the work
is to be done by the individual, there is a further base that this person could
ask for—the mind of Michael—and that would greatly facilitate his returning to
those circumstances and doing Michael’s hard work. Of course he/she is supported
continually by Michael and Nebadonia in this work, and his Guardians and all
your celestial unseen friends. Has my discourse aided you?</P>
<P>Student: Yes, but not totally. I am still wondering what is the best way for
me to respond to this person to elicit spirit in them and bring them to this
healing place. Is there anything that can be done from without when the person
is not whole-hearted and can’t even see spirit from that state?</P>
<P>Health Advisor: Sometimes it is best to withdraw and send your love and
energy from a distance. It does no good to be harmed in the process if that is a
possibility. You mention that this person was infected also, with viral
infections? (Yes.) These of course, aggravate the situation. His depression also
involves his health. Please avail yourself of your prayer fellows and friends
when you are confronted with this circumstance. We are surrounding you and
supporting you; we will do so more energetically and strongly, with the aid of
Nebadonia’s help from the anchor, when you are in this circumstance. Please let
everyone participate—it will be our pleasure. (Thank you.) It is one of those
circumstances where humans wish they could do it for them, and it is not to be;
it is their lesson that they are so diligently working on, over and over again.
Thank you for engaging me at your meeting this afternoon. This TR needs another
break. Thank you.</P>
<P>***************</P>
<P>Rayson: Yes, you are again joined with the merkaba and I am back. Now, we
have again an opportunity for questions.</P>
<P>Student: This is a question for Teacher Rayson. (Yes?) I have a notion or a
sense that there is more to the information you were giving to us on intentional
communities, in that I believe there is a role that the Midwayers are playing?
Could you please elaborate on anything that might be useful to us in that
area?</P>
<P>Rayson: Specifically that the Midwayers are doing? </P>
<P>Yes. Would you care to elaborate on what role the Midwayers may play, if they
are playing a role, in the intentional community planning or once the
communities are established, what their role would be? I just think that
logically, since they are co-inhabitants of this planet that they would be
involved in this planning from the beginning. </P>
<P>Rayson: As indeed they are. You know the freedom of action on the Midwayers
part, and of all the Celestials is predicated upon the intention/action of the
individuals who set forth upon the course of intentional community. Whether they
are just beginning to write a book that will expound their ideas of intentional
community and intend to distribute this book to larger audiences, it is our
"okay," our "signal" to provide for these persons in ways that we can, with
readily available information—meeting the right person, at the right time, or
getting an individual to meet a person who can introduce them to the right
person at the right time. We are able to facilitate, as best we can, the
fortuitous connections that put people on their "stated path." We have stated
before, we have heard we attempt to herd people toward <I>the Urantia Book</I>,
to Urantia meetings and conferences, or to people who have made the commitment
to engage in the Teaching Mission. We are able to link them up and facilitate
groups and perhaps foster some new groups in other areas, from the people who
move, change jobs, etcetera. This is something we take delight in accomplishing.
Some do not notice and others are very much aware and thankful for the help and
guidance. We are able to smooth the process of putting words on paper, should
you choose to write a book. Many of these areas—some we are not at liberty to
disclose at this time. Does that answer your query?</P>
<P>Student: Yes, [laughing] it’s pretty specific! Thank you. (You’re
welcome.)</P>
<P>Rayson: Anything else? (Pause) Dick, would you care to take over?</P>
<P>Dick: Yes, I can. (Thank you.) </P>
<P>Rayson: (TR Dick) One of the major issues raised today was that of mental
illness, and as your <I>Urantia Book</I> explains, we are never given more than
we can stand. And what occurs on occasion, is a chemical imbalance. So mental
illness can be treated with drugs as well as psychotherapy. In psychotherapy,
the professional will attempt to get to a "cause." And once the subject
understands the "cause," and relives the cause—maybe several times—and realizes
that it is not as significant as it had led to believe, and that it can be dealt
with by forgiveness, by moving on. </P>
<P>So, that a certain incident can bring about mental illness, and a better
understanding of that incident can help relieve it, and will then change the
balance of chemistry in the subject’s brain. Mental illness is treatable; it
does not have to be feared, because it is controllable. The unknown certainly is
very often feared, and that is normal, that is natural, but the more we learn
about the unknown, and make it become known, the easier we can deal with it.
</P>
<P>So we do not necessarily have to fear that for ourselves because of a family
relationship, because the incidences in our lives are different than the
incidences in the subject’s life. Each person is different; each person has
different resistances and different protections. So it is not necessary to lapse
into the "unknown" or "the dark side", as some people would refer to it, for
protection, for we know how to bring protection to ourselves when we want to and
when we need to. But some people do not realize how to bring that about, or they
don’t desire to. </P>
<P>Through love and prayer, and professional help, changes can be brought about,
which will have a positive effect on the subject, if the subject seeks this. But
while we may seek it for the subject, that in and of itself, is not enough. The
subject must want to deal with the issues and to create the subject’s own
healing. And spirit will aid in that. Through the counselor or the doctor—the
professional has many tools at its disposal to deal with a particular type of
mental illness that is being encountered. Mental illness is curable, is
reversible, can result in a person who can contribute a great deal to society
and his fellow mankind. So it is not the end of all things, but the beginning
when the realization is made and is dealt with, and the individual can then
become strengthened and deal with life in a normal manner. But it should be
recognized that a chemical imbalance is often part of that, and that is easy to
deal with. But it may take somebody else who is trained to delve into issues,
such as those the subject is encountering.</P>
<P>Concerning the other issue on intentional community and the Midwayers, the
Midwayers certainly produce bringing people together, bringing the right spirits
together to work on a given issue, and also have been brought to bear on raising
the foods that we need to nourish our body. Midwayers have been seen by some
people in their gardens, and have assisted in growing plant life under
conditions that might be deemed to be contrary to what would be expected—soil
conditions, weather conditions—and yet the Midwayers can bring about special
influences on vegetation to produce healthy end products for the body. </P>
<P>Midwayers can assist in balancing out climatic situations. Our earth has been
going through some very traumatic imbalances that the Midwayers are assisting in
correcting at this time. The earth’s imbalances are from lack of love, lack of
caring for fellow mankind. The Midwayers are working toward achieving love and
peaceful conditions, and it takes a while for this to occur. Mankind can change
things pretty quickly; it means that the Midwayers have to work overtime to
bring about change in the correct direction. But they do work through people,
connecting with people and spreading the message of love and well being to one
another. Does that answer the questions that were raised earlier?</P>
<P>Student: Yes. It also brought about another question. I have also been
feeling the pain and suffering the earth is going through; I feel compassion
towards the earth. Every time I hear of something going against the earth, it
hurts so deeply. I feel motivated to do something to change that situation, yet
so often I feel I am just one individual. How can I do, what can I do? And my
question is along the line of what to do and my thoughts are in the area of
energy. It seems that most of the humans that are inhabiting this world have
issues that stem around the energy issue—of oil in this particular case—and I’ve
been feeling that we’ve had the answers in our hands, (the scientists have had
the answer for some time,) yet their voices are silenced by the people in
control. My question is, is there anything that I can do to help the situation
to move forward—"if" there is an answer to that? </P>
<P>Rayson: Yes, and that is why we are involved in the Teaching Mission. It is a
mission to teach each one of us as individuals, what we need to be aware of to
bring about positive change. And you can see that the earth is receiving the
negativity; it just goes right into the earth and results in earthquakes,
volcanic action, and imbalances such as hurricanes and heavy storms. Until we
kind of mellow out ourselves, as individuals, people throughout the earth—until
that occurs, there will continue to be imbalances. And you will see that in
weather reactions and earth change reactions. So, what can we do? We have been
told what we must do is to live our life as Christ Michael gave us as an
example, in the Urantia teachings—loving one another, being kind and good to one
another, by being strong in the face of adversity—and by channeling <B>love</B>,
even to those that would be our enemies, who appear to be our enemies. Because
these so-called enemies think that they are right, it is very difficult to
convince them otherwise because they are so certain of their position. </P>
<P>We seem to be headed in the direction of war, but war is not a certainty. On
the spiritual level, the spirit, Midwayers and all the spiritual entities are
striving to bring about peace, even in the face of, the threat of war. The
threat of war itself, while it sounds negative may produce a positive result
without going to war. And that seems to be the posture of the people today; they
are in this negative posture, but that does not necessarily mean that there will
be war if we continue to use our energy for peaceful purposes, our prayers for
peace, and get the spirit of peace to the forefront through our actions of
kindness, love and goodness, through our actions of expressing truth, and just
by caring for one another. </P>
<P>It may be a very simple relationship between two people, or between a small
group of people; this can expand, and is being expanded here on earth today,
which is why the Teaching Mission is able to come in today. But the principles
of the way people live on this earth—in some cases are different, but in many
cases are similar—even between different religions. And those who truly
understand their religions can recognize the similarities between them as being
greater than the differences, and recognize the importance for tolerance and
allowing each to follow its own path to God. There is no reason, right now, that
we have to feel that we are in a hopeless situation; but we are in a Correcting
Time. We are in a time where justice is coming to the forefront. And those who
would take particularly individual negative action against others will be
suppressed, because we are in a Correcting Time. Did that answer your
question?</P>
<P>Student: I think so. Would you care to elaborate on the suppression
aspect?</P>
<P>Rayson: Well, there is suppression taking place right now; and there is an
attempt to bring about justice here on earth, where the perpetrators of evil
acts are being tracked down and brought before the court system and tried. In
some cases this doesn’t occur; in some cases there is action taken on the spot,
where a negative perpetrator may be dispatched to the other side on the spot,
without any trial. But the negativity is being addressed and there are lessons
to be learned on all sides of these issues. </P>
<P>One of the lessons that this country feels strongly about is protecting
itself. People of the United States feel it is very important to protect itself,
protect its country. We have oceans on both sides; we have a little bit of time
balance in our favor, but the way we are going about protecting ourselves is
trying to root out individual negative aspects as we can encounter them, as we
can track them down. It is probably going to be very difficult to track them all
down, but if in the end result, we can take a country that has been going
against human rights principles, where its leadership has jeopardized the lives
of its subjects—if we had a change in that government, and bring the world along
in understanding the importance of bringing about a better means of government,
then we will have accomplished some positive results. And the right people,
believe it or not, will ultimately, eventually, be put into office. It will take
a desire on behalf of the subjects, on behalf of the people to want that to
happen, particularly the people in that given country. And there is a lot of
that desire that is there, that has not surfaced because of fear of
repercussions. But it can surface, and on the spiritual level, we will strive to
bring it about so that it does surface, hopefully without the undue taking of
lives. Does that answer your question? (Yes, thank you very much.)</P>
<P>Student: Your statement about the negativity causing earthquakes and erupting
volcanoes…that’s the first time I’ve heard that in the Teaching Mission. Can you
elaborate any more on that?</P>
<P>Rayson: Well, we should recognize that the earth is a living entity, just
like we are individual bodies that are living entities. And the earth
receives—we can feel the energy between the earth, and us as we sit here in
meditation. We are using that energy in a positive means; but there is a lot of
negative energy that is received by the earth, and the earth has to release it,
just as we have to release negative energy within ourselves. We talked earlier
about mental illness, and those individuals have not learned to release the
negative energy, they carry it and they need to be able to release it, get rid
of it, to allow the positive energy to come in. </P>
<P>And in the case of the earth, when it absorbs a certain amount of negative
energy, it must release that negative energy, dissipate it, fragment it and it
does this with different reactions, and it can be within the earth and around
the earth. It can result in the energy of storms—you know there are nice gentle
rains that can be very productive and then there are severe storms that can be
very destructive, both using water. And if we—"we" as people—have an interaction
with the earth, and as we think, we are effecting the way the earth reacts. So
if it interests you at all, you can follow some of the things that are happening
in the earth today. The newspapers have articles about this on a weekly basis,
and you can see what’s happening where—often what happens on one side of the
earth, shortly thereafter follows on the other side of the earth. So if you
observe this, you will notice what is going on. <B>It does not mean that God is
punishing anyone</B>; it just means that there is a relationship between the
thinking and behavior of mankind and the earth.</P>
<P>Student: So where the earth releases its negative energy, is that in any way
related to where the negative energy was created?</P>
<P>Rayson: Not necessarily, because there are certain energy producing places in
and around the earth. There are certain fault lines, there can be shifts in the
earth’s structure—and it’s not the fault of the people who live along side of
those fault lines, except they just happen to be in the wrong place if there is
a severe earthquake. But the scientists know where the fault lines are; they
know where the energy centers are, although not all of them understand the
relationships between a human being and the earth. And as time goes on, that
will be better understood. Right at the present time it is very difficult; most
people do not have a belief system along those lines. They see physical things
being quite separate from human beings, and yet, there’s a tie-in. Does that
answer your question?</P>
<P>Student: Yes, and I appreciate the information. It has given me a lot to
think about. I have been following the geologic patterns of the globe and it is
an area of great interest for me. I appreciate you’re tying that in to the
negative energy.</P>
<P>Dirk: Before you go, Teacher, would you please identify yourself? </P>
<P>This is Teacher Rayson, continuing on. Well I think this about concludes our
afternoon session. Thank you all for your attention and attendance. (Thank you!)
We will see you in two weeks. (Thank you Rayson.) Good day.</P>
<P>[Note from transcriber: The new TR, Dick, mentioned at the conclusion that
because the subject matter was in his area of knowledge and experience, that he
was aware his transmission was a blend of his ideas with Rayson’s in some
places. For someone who has been with the Teaching Mission only two and a half
months, this is a remarkable initial solo flight.]</P></FONT></BODY></HTML>
