<P>Dirk: We will begin with Stillness and establish the heart line and the mind
line. (Pause.) Now, let us link to the merkaba. It is our intention this
afternoon to continue our lessons with our teachers and unseen friends, those
who are friendly to the Teaching Mission, under the auspices of the Melchizedeks
and Michael and Nebadonia.</P>
<P>This is Teacher Rayson, good afternoon students. (Group greets Rayson.) A
lovely, snowy afternoon for this session! Your journeys seemed to be quite
successful. First, this afternoon, I would like to ask if there are questions
involving the lessons we have had, since Daniel, of course. You may not
remember, and it may not be time to review with your questions, however, we will
start here.</P>
<P>Student: Rayson, I would like to have more information about the last lesson
concerning energy interactions, between spiritual energy reactions and those
which are strictly natural phenomena of our planet.</P>
<P>Rayson: In regards to "influence" in what way? I cannot picture what you are
asking yet.</P>
<P>Student: Well, it’s hard for me to picture it too! Last week we talked about
energy and how negative energy has an affect on our planet and our beings.
During a private session, you went into a little more explanation with me about
the differences between those, which are natural phenomena and those, which are
controllable through mind. Is there any more that you can share with us on that
topic?</P>
<P>Rayson: You will not be able to control an earthquake, and that is a natural
phenomenon. You can control what happens within your organism, within your
energy field, you can manipulate that, you can "sink or swim" as the saying
goes. If you are drinking of the spirit poisons, you will sink. It is your mind
that tells you, "What is it that I need to do?" that puts the breaks on the
negative. You can tell yourself, "I do not choose to sink. I ask that this
problem, these series of problems be turned over to the Father, and that I
choose to seek His help in dealing with this." Remember, your only true power is
spiritual and all else that appears to be power on Urantia at this time is
illusion, it is transitory. It may appear to have power for a period of time,
but as all of the civilizations you have ever experienced or read about, it too
will fall as did Rome and the Greek states, and even your mighty Russia. The key
is spiritual. You are here and continue to be here in these sessions and with
these transcripts and with your fellows, your brothers and sisters in this group
in order to facilitate your spiritual growth, to maximize your power in becoming
spiritual. It is the energies of the spiritual that revitalize you as an
individual and the circumstances in which you find yourself. It is not the power
you have over others as a state administrator or a manipulator or supervisor or
controller—that is illusory and only according to the worldly systems. Does this
answer your question?</P>
<P>Student: It helps—by using our mind, can we overcome things like genetic
influences, or is that…?</P>
<P>Rayson: You can only mitigate those "so far." Sometimes you must play the
hand you are dealt, and that is one of those circumstances. You can, of course,
get with your brothers and sisters who have had experience and know the course
of your particular problem, and can put you right about how to mitigate or
alleviate the symptoms you’ve experienced. These days you could research your
genetic problem or disease on the Internet and find enough information to help
you alleviate some of your symptoms, perhaps. The recommended course would be
through brothers and sisters. There is little love flowing over the Internet, at
this point. (Thank you, Rayson.) And the floor is open to other questions.</P>
<P>Student: I found it very interesting in the last session when I read what you
had to say about the amount of negativity on the planet, affecting climatic or
weather conditions—it was like that it did affect earthquakes and volcanic
action, hurricanes and so on. Did I understand that correctly?</P>
<P>Rayson: Yes, that is the way the transcript "read." It is not something I
personally subscribe to largely; there are energies in the earth that are
unaffected by people and we would consider earthquakes and volcanoes to be among
those.</P>
<P>Student: It sounded as if you were saying something that supported the Gaia
Principle of earth as a living organism.</P>
<P>Rayson: The earth is a living organism, yes. However, if people with all of
their hatred and anger and fear and evil doings influenced those areas, over
these many centuries of earth, 500,000 years since the rebellion—there has been
little else except thievery, murder, wars, extortion, rape, pillage, plunder—I
am sure this has not sunk into the earth to change it. Yes, those emotions are
energy, but because they are not "loving and of the Father," they are dead
energy, they have very little true power, as we were just talking about. True
power is in love. The rest of it is in a pseudo-power that people believe has
control over them; they give it control and then try to control others with it.
The people look up to the oppressor as their champion, who then oppresses them
even further. </P>
<P></P>
<P>This world is so loved by Michael and Nebadonia! He continually refers to it
as a "jewel." It is saturated with the blood of generations, but the motives for
those killings and the evil perpetrating it, does not exist any longer. Does
this help with your question? (Thank you.)</P>
<P>Student: So, Rayson, then if we use mind in a positive direction, where we of
the world pray in unity for a certain outcome, can that affect the earth is some
ways, or only other beings? For example, if large numbers of people prayed for
rain, would that have any effect, or do they just have to limit their prayers to
spiritual concerns that affect other beings, other brothers and sisters?</P>
<P>Rayson: We are all familiar with mercy killings, those who believe they are
doing a favor for a loved one that they believe will not get well. Do you not
wonder what their prayers are? That this person should die, here on this earth?
And they carry it out. </P>
<P></P>
<P>Student: I can understand the pain of watching a loved one go through agony
and desiring that they be released from the pain in order to go to the mansion
worlds.</P>
<P>Rayson: Yes, in empathy and sympathy, you experience their pain and agony, or
you "believe" you do.</P>
<P>Student: I think at times, it is pretty obvious that someone has reached the
"end of his or her rope."</P>
<P>Rayson: Yes, that is definitely true. My teaching in this area is that as a
student of Michael, remember his words on the cross, "Father, forgive them for
they know not what they do," and that this can apply in your relations to the
sick and dying, in that you pray that the Father’s will be true for this
individual, and for yourself. Remember, only for the people of the Old
Testament, was their Father interested in punishing and torturing, and causing
all kinds of mayhem to occur to races and nations and individuals. Your Father
is a loving, caring Father, who wishes the best for all, and sometimes the best
is difficult, as it was for Michael. It may be best to die, to leave this world
at this time. It may be the Father’s will that he recover, if that is your will
too. </P>
<P></P>
<P>Father does not vary as to motive; he is a continuous bathing in love and
trust. He assumes you will make mistakes in the course of living your life. And
if you have not made mistakes, you would have no lessons behind you, no "true
grit" as it is known; you would be "wimps." So, enjoy the lessons, enjoy the
difficulties and remember, the Father stands by in your difficulties to help you
and lift you when that is your mindal choice. Neither Michael nor Nebadonia will
change the weather of the planet to make it rain.</P>
<P>Student: I was wondering if <B>we</B> could do that with our free will,
mindal action in groups, if we could affect things like weather?</P>
<P>Rayson: This lesson today appears to be turning out about <B>pseudo-power and
real power</B>. If you could pray for rain and have it occur, would this not be
pseudo-power? You would be attempting to control something in your environment
like turning the furnace up or down, turning the rain on or off, turning the
drought on or off. This is pseudo-power; it is not real. Spiritual power is
real; the will of the Father rules. (Student: Okay, that answers my question.
Thank you.) You’re welcome.</P>
<P>Student: That raises another question. The Hopi Indians have a procedure that
they use to bring about rain. A lot of Indian tribes feel that they can affect
the weather, and they go through a process that they believe, works. And it
seems to work.</P>
<P>Rayson: Yes, after all these centuries, they have learned the absolute best
time to pray! (Student: When they don’t have rain?) Yes. Feel that breeze out of
the south, we’d better pray; we’ll make rain. (Group laughing.)</P>
<P>Student: Well, in my own experience, we’ve had a drought here in Colorado and
one of the resorts, Vail, brought in Hopi Indians—other resorts didn’t—and it
snowed where the Hopi’s got involved; it didn’t at the other places. (More
laughter.)</P>
<P>Rayson: Yes, it will be a considerably long time before you on Urantia debase
yourselves of all the superstitions and lovely tales, creative thought, of your
world. We enjoy these adventures, so very much. You have rich heritage to share
with all the other people you will meet on your journey, in your ascension
career from very different worlds. You will hear their very similar, very
like-sounding tales of their experiences; you will get to know them on their
planets and you will be sought after because you come from Urantia and have had
such a completely abnormal, weird, distorted, vague, hit-or-miss upbringing!
Your lessons learned will be held in great esteem, for many of these other
children from worlds of Light and Life have never had these experiences in their
early lives. Theirs will be rather sedate and comfortable and "normal" compared
to your experiences here. And there will be those prejudiced against you because
"you killed Michael/Jesus," even though it was centuries ago and you had nothing
to do with it; you are from the World of the Cross! And that label will be a big
help in helping other ascenders to deal with their prejudice. So you see, that
you get to have your own lessons and create lessons for many others, all along
the way.</P>
<P>Student: You spoke at some length at the last session in response to a
question about mental illness, and what, if anything, one can do "with love" for
a friend or someone suffering from mental illness. I recently heard of a
diagnosis of "post traumatic stress syndrome," and I wondered if those who are
close to such an individual can offer anything—you discussed a need for good
food and pure water and possibly some therapy or medications—can you speak to
this particular problem?</P>
<P>Rayson: Yes, the individual…it is a difficult place to start…the individual
who loves the Father and is cognizant of His Kingdom and his place in the
Kingdom, has a chance to move through the "hard work" of post traumatic stress
situation, with the help of Michael and Nebadonia and his unseen friends. This
can be—you’ll remember we talked about "static" in peoples lives—where there is
a place, a whirlpool, an eddy that is full of energy, unresolved, from past
times. The individual afflicted can diffuse this static with the loving help of
Michael and Nebadonia, and the conscious "willing" of that help, and resolution
of that experience. </P>
<P></P>
<P>So you see, there are many pre-conditions to getting through it. The normal
course on this planet at this time is to psychoanalyze or medicate or deal with
it in some other group therapy, such as Gestalt and those behavior modalities,
of relaxation, and biofeedback. They would lessen and mitigate the circumstances
as the individual experiences them at this time. However, it is desirable for
the person who’s choice it is, to take the static and turn it to the Father so
that his is no longer an event that has energy and has the person blocked. You
see, there are quite a few modalities for taking care of the problem, as I’ve
just described.</P>
<P></P>
<P>However the one that can <B>alleviate it for all time for the individual</B>,
is the "hard work" of Michael. You go through the circumstance and deal with
your part, the other person’s part, and close it with love and forgiveness. When
this is accomplished you have—of course I’ve described it quite
simplistically—but you have removed the static from the original event and you
will increase your meaning and value of that which occurred for all the people
involved, and there will no longer be a residual static nodule remaining. That
is the idealized way to deal with it. </P>
<P></P>
<P>The others, of course, have varying degrees of success in this kind of
operation and should there still be static in the event, you will have the
opportunity to remove it as a morontia being. If you mask many of your lessons,
possibilities, potentials, with chemicals, you are missing the opportunity of
completing these lessons and you will deal with it later on, on the mansion
worlds. Does this help? (Thank you.)</P>
<P>Student: Rayson, on the mansion worlds will we recover all of the memories of
those events, which will be of interest to those around us, that would be of
value?</P>
<P>Rayson: You will be able to teach the meaning and value you achieved for
those events. The details may remain for those who love to be storytellers; for
the rest of us, those details may not be there. And you can, of course, contact
those who were there with you at the same time and ask them for what they
remember.</P>
<P>Dirk: Let’s take a little break.</P>
<P>* * * * * * * * * * * </P>
<P>[Dirk was unable to continue after the break.]</P>
<P>T/R Dick: Father, please help us in this transmission and reception, so that
we may do thy will. In the name of Christ Michael, we pray. Amen.</P>
<P></P>
<P>Rayson continuing: Your teachers and unseen friends are here to assist you
and guide you with our lesson today. We are in a special time of love and
thanksgiving. Giving thanks is a form of love; it is a very special time; it is
a time of caring for one another. It’s a time of realization that our Heavenly
Father has brought to us many blessings, whether they be acts of happiness and
kindness we enjoy, or whether they be tough lessons that we have to endure. But
for all of these we give thanks because we are growing, and we are put through
periods of testing and turmoil. And then there are other times when we are
blessed with happy thoughts and happy events and we can enjoy ourselves being
filled without being put under a lot of stress. And we do have to experience the
difficult times so that we can appreciate the good times. And we are growing and
we will be able to deal with the difficult situations as we get up on the
mansion worlds and offer our experiences to those who are in the various worlds.
So we can be thankful that we are here and that we are learning and that we are
growing, and that we are experiencing the love for one another, and that we
receive the love from one another. And this is what it’s about. Are there any
questions?</P>
<P>Student: Rayson, can you enlighten us a little bit more about the rest of the
mission, the angels, the teachers that might be involved with counseling or
guiding our leaders, the leaders in the various nations as well as our own? Is
that something you can address?</P>
<P>Rayson: Yes, and this is being done. And as far as the Teaching Mission is
concerned, when two or more are gathered in the name of Jesus, Christ Michael,
there He is with us and He is guiding us where we ask for help. And we have
increased the power of allowing the spiritual side to come through. Yes, this
Spirit is guiding the leaders of our world. We are in the midst of a very
difficult time, a time of fear, and yet a time of love. A time of fellowship
between leaders of countries, countries that at one time were enemies, are now
being brought to the table as allies, because we realize now that there are
things that are very important, to be accomplished on earth.</P>
<P></P>
<P>The United States of America and those of this hemisphere are at a point
where the rest of the world recognizes that at this given time, capitalism is
working better than communism has worked. That is not to say that the ideas
behind communism, such as group participation or group goals is bad, but the way
it has worked in this world has deteriorated into selfish leadership. And now a
change is taking place all over the world. So the teachers and the angels and
the guides, our Thought Adjusters, are attuning to the higher level of truth,
love and understanding, knowledge and goodness, so that we are all advancing and
learning. Even the United States which feels that it must attack evil, also
recognizes that it must have allies and it cannot go in its own direction
entirely, without the consultation and the blessings of allies.</P>
<P></P>
<P>Yes, the Teaching Mission is reaching the leaders throughout this world; and
is reaching the constituents throughout this world, and is having a greater
impact on this earth than what might meet the eye. For we are in the time of the
Spirit of Truth. And there are lessons every day because of higher communication
levels that we can experience. We can see what’s going on. We can see what works
and what does not work. And yes, there are negative forces at work, but there
are good forces bringing the negative forces to justice, and discouraging those
negative forces. Does that answer your question?</P>
<P>Student: Yes, it’s very helpful. Thank you.</P>
<P>Rayson: Are there any other questions? (None.) Then I will conclude by
saying, that there is a special blessing on this group, for those that are here
and for those that read the transcript. We are here to help you on a one-on-one
mission, so that you can go out into this world on a one-on-one basis to assist
your fellow man. You are being given the tools and the abilities to connect with
your neighbor, your brother or sister, to enhance the feeling of love and
brotherhood on this earth. And for that we bless you, and are here to help heal
any problems that exist, and to strengthen you in your devotion… (end of tape)….
Good day.</P></FONT></BODY></HTML>
