of this [Boulder] group of people.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Yes, some have come and others have gone, but the energy, the intent of
this deeply sincere group, is evident.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>You are upholders of <I>the Urantia Book</I> faith, the authority that
rests within that reference book.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>We see many of you have opened your hearts, where they were closed once
before; where once there was judgment, now there is acceptance; and where once
there was withdrawal, now there is presence and greeting.<SPAN

style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Variation is ever the signature of the universe and
acceptance of variation is an important part of your progress, the allowance of
differences between you, and accepting those differences and understanding how
others came to their position of acceptance of where they are, and where you
are.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>In doing so, you emulate the
Christ Consciousness of acceptance of everyone, for this is as Michael is, our
Father and our Creator.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>He has
created us and we are his children, whether you are evolutionary beings or
whether you are created beings, as myself and others.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>He accepts us all, where we are, as we
are, and then urges you to continue to grow in concert with your Thought
Adjusters.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So I salute you for
growing, and those in the Boulder group and those in the surrounding areas, have
given great evidence of their growth.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>It is very welcome, for only in growth can you embrace larger definitions
of service, as your speaker spoke about last night. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

community around you.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You have
ministered to yourselves, and now you will begin to minister to others, not by
active proselyting, but through, as Jesus did, by “passing by,” and proactively
approaching those who are open, to offer the words, the behaviors, the values,
the attitudes that have helped people grow to enlarge their soul capacity, their
reservoir of greatness, so that when they pass by this realm, they will be
greater beings, and in doing so, they will have decided to participate in the
larger universe.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'">I will begin
with one aspect that created a lot of discussion on <SPAN
style="TEXT-TRANSFORM: uppercase">tml</SPAN>, (the Teaching Mission list,) but
was not really a question, as such.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>There was much concern over the validity of this transmission, whether it
was really Machiventa Melchizedek speaking, and if so, how was the purity of the
transmission?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Some of the students
have had some bad experiences in the past concerning proclamations that they
believed were valid then later were embarrassed when these proclamations turned
out to be false.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The attitude of
many individuals was that this message from Machiventa called for a “wait and
see” tactic—wait to see if other Celestial Teachers from other groups support
this, and/or wait to see if this message “bears fruit.”<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Several pointed out that with the
eclectic New Age movement, and all of the other channelings with the newly
departed going on, that we students need to be extremely careful and discerning,
even of the Teaching Mission transcripts.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>That can be difficult at times and students often have opposite
viewpoints or reach different conclusions, using the same tools and techniques
for validation.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

fruits are concerned, yes, there have been fruits already.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Many of you have organized and tried, or
are in the process of organizing small, worshipful groups, or small centers, or
churches—whatever you may want to call them—where you come together in
fellowship and share your spiritual and religious efforts, some with rituals,
some without rituals, some with ceremonies and some not.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is evident of a budding need within
this group for an organized effort to educate and share and fellowship those who
are in need of these services and insights and wisdom and education.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Many hunger for this; many will not come
to the Teaching Mission because it is so “New Age.”<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Yet, they hunger for a revision of old
religious thoughts and processes.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>They know that there is more than the staid and antiquarian religious
services that do not allow, or do not promote individual growth within those
religions; therefore a new approach is provided.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The educational era of the Teaching
Mission in small groups is not past, but will continue.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Yet there is a huge body of evidence
related to the values of these teachings that are sufficient to begin a broader
dissemination or insemination of these values to others, who may be attracted to
this effort and find some similarities in the Christ Consciousness that they
found or desired in their own religions. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

will find that none of this speaks against the work of Michael, but only
