</SPAN>Good afternoon, this is Rayson.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Welcome to another bright, beautiful, Sunday afternoon.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We have been observing your efforts for
outreach into the Denver area.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This
effort goes far beyond that, my friends, as your friends and others hear of this
educational extension at this site.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>You will know that your successes are many as you see these new anchors
being formed up and down the Front Range.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>You are instrumental in the outreach of the Teaching Mission, and far
more than the Teaching Mission —the Correcting Time.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And of course, the larger picture of
that is a way of life that abides by the Father’s will, that strain of love and
cooperation and coordination between each of you so that there is the harmony
and the vibration of light, which is love, throughout your lives and the lives
of others that is typical of the universe.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>By your example of living and with your relationship to your angels and
Celestial Teachers, others who are not members of the TM will know of the
beneficial effects of your association with the Teaching
Mission<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">As you come in contact with people who are curious
about the Teaching Mission, we urge you to offer the services of experienced TM
members to them.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We suggest that
you provide a referral to those who are interested in the work that you are
doing, what your group is doing, to those who could be of assistance.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is very normal in the larger
universe; this occurs all the time in the morontial realm.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The networking on this side is intense,
it is immense, it is complex and it is complete—particularly complete.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Though there is never an obligation,
there is always a willingness to share this information with others, and so you
may assume safely that your TM mortal friends would be willing to be of
assistance to those who are curious, as they are capable of doing.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>As known TRs are scarce in this region,
those who are available are willing to participate and share this aspect of the
Teaching Mission with those who have not experienced it.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There will later come those who can
teach, those who are capable teachers of this skill.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Not everyone, as you know, is capable of
teaching the TR technique, which this one has himself
admitted.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">To demonstrate the successes that <B>you</B> have
generated in co-creative manner with us, think back to six months ago, or even
three months ago.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There did not
exist dozens of connections that you now have with individuals and associations
up and down the Front Range.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This
is very rapid progress, in our estimation, and we hope you appreciate this
degree of success, early on.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is

some do not.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

is a time where many people become open to new ways of thinking, as the
alternative older ways are unproductive and even in some ways, destructively
unproductive.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So, be active now, my
friends, as there is a time of yearning.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>And though it may sound as though this is superficial on their part,
truly it is sincere; they have a concern, and though this concern may be eroded
later by happiness and prosperity and by good circumstance and peace, now is the
time to plant those seeds, which may lay dormant in the minds of your fellow
brothers and sisters in this geographic area.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And too, as this goes forward through
the Internet and those connections, those who read this will be filled with more
hope and encouragement of the successes of the Correcting Time, through the
Teaching Mission as you have experienced it.<SPAN

connected to these efforts are feeding themselves through these teachings,
through lessons from other groups.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>And though they may live in isolation where no Urantia Book or Teaching
Mission group exists, they nonetheless are growing.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Fifteen years is but a snap of the
fingers, my friends, as we see it, and in this snap of the fingers, we have seen
great progress on your world.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Those
individuals who hunger, who have not been fed, have not had their thirst for
spiritual development quenched, are finding that this is a source of much
open-ended growth and potential, the potential that they can explore from within
themselves and in association with others.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>You may see as metaphor, us standing around patting each other on the
back, saying congratulations, and in many ways, that is true, that is what is
occurring.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You have done a good
job, and we see the fruits of our labors too.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is only the beginning, the fifteen
years, a snap of the fingers—imagine the length of time for clapping or snapping
your fingers to a song, whose duration is for decades and for centuries—you will
find at the close of that song, that the world will not be the same as it is
now.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So I enjoin you to continue, I
enjoin you to reach out in your associations and in those who have similar
thoughts, those who have similar ideas, those holistic efforts to unite the
spiritual and the emotional and the psychical and the living practices into one
practice of living where there is a continuum.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

</SPAN>There was recent comment of the Most Highs having control of the
situations of the world and my question is, if I think of them trying to change,
or deciding to change people or leaders, then that is probably not a good
assumption since it goes against the Father’s will of us having free will.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So how do they change?<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Is it a matter of throwing cataclysms in

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Rayson:<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>I would like to address your second question before the first, as I think
that one will lead to the other more completely and make more sense in the
end.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>“Is there a way of bridging
the gap between the Christian and Muslim faiths?”<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And the answer is, yes, there are
several.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Let us begin by examining
the Koran (or Quran), which was purportedly written by Mohammed and later
amended by his followers, as were the original Christian documents.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Glean from both documents those passages
as closely attributable to the prophets, Jesus and Mohammed, as possible,
dealing with peace and acceptance of mortal brothers and sisters.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You will find that in almost any
politicized religion, as these two, that there will be internal conflicts in
their own content.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is
certainly so of the conflict between the Old Testament and New Testament, and
even within the New Testament itself.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>The internal conflicts within a document indicate that the content is
ambiguous, and that it is inconsistent.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>The truths that both prophets taught were not conflicting but always
urged their followers to move towards commonality, that which is similar.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The kernels of their truths promote
wholeness and integration, rather than separation —there is no ambiguity.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Issues of separation find their origins
in ego and in political positions of individuals.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>But statements of unity, of oneness,
wholeness, congruency, and integration are those that speak from the higher
self.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You know from your education
from the Urantia Book, that there are no internal inconsistencies in the
statements of Jesus in that book.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Were he to be here today, and review <B>all </B>of his life, and if you
were to record this on a holographic record in full, real detail of the
<B>entirety</B> of his life, you would find no inconsistencies.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The great teachers of all time have
always taught with consistency.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The
followers who sought to control, divide and conquer, embellished and revised the
origin statements to espouse division, separation, and dominance.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There are many similarities between
these two documents, if you are willing to find them.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Whom do you know in your neighborhood,
your associations outside of that, and to the larger community who are of Muslim
descent and teachings?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>How have you
striven to reach out to them and accept them?<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Simple statements of, “I’m glad you are
here,”<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>“I would like to understand
your religion better and know your point of view as individuals,” as <B>they</B>
live them, are a personal way to begin.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>They sleep at night, awake in the morning, bathe, shower, eat, go to
work, tend children, go to school, the same as you do, as your children do.<SPAN

yourself and individuals of other religions is primary to bridging this

style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Third, on a theological basis, you will find much
dissimilarity in the theologies of these two religions; you will see in both a
lack of a holistic theology.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Each
espouses that they believe in God and Allah, those two being the same figure
—the Creator.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is a point of
origin that is indisputable, and this is a point of much discussion that can
occur between the two religions, and in doing so, each religion will grow
tremendously.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Were you able to
project yourselves a thousand years into the future, my dear friend, you would
see that your efforts would not have gone wasted or ignored, but in fact you
would see the amalgamation, the uniting of the political bodies of
religion.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Even now this is
occurring particularly in the Christian sects.<SPAN

scientific knowledge within your more technologically advanced nations.<SPAN

where there will be a renaissance of philosophical discussion, which will herald
the uncovering, the revealing of the grains of unity that exist in each religion
that has a center of God.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Even
those religions that do not espouse God, but which do not deny God, will come to
this same central point—it is indisputable, inarguable, that the Creator is the
point of origin for all that exists after creation.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And each religion must relate itself
effectively to that point, as well as the scientific and theological
communities.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Both scientific and
philosophical thought will expand and find union by asking questions relating to
that central point.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

elimination of disunity and disharmony between your religion and all of Islam,
forget it—do not waste your time.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Apply yourself in loving ways to where you live; do not generalize your
thoughts about the people of Muslim faith, to those individuals who live next
door.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Generalizations and labeling
discolor your appreciation of individuals due to bias of the general group.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Doing so is <B>grossly unfair</B>.<SPAN

others.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Do not project it to

friend, I do not mean solely yourself, but all those who read this and hear
this.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There is so much libel that
goes on between your religions, but when you come face-to-face with helping your
neighbor who is of the Islamic faith, you would treat them no differently than
neighbors of your own faith.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I hope
you would treat them the same as neighbors on the other side of the street, or
next-door who is of Buddhist faith, Taoist, or Christian faith.<SPAN

with compassion.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You would do no
less than Jesus would do at that time, in that situation.<SPAN

gaps between all of the Roman Empire and the Jewish faith, but he began where he
began, with individuals, knowing that his participation in their lives was
powerful and effective in the long term.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>And if he was able to affect <B>one</B> individual, that was a grand
victory!<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And look what has
happened—the young man who died before his middle age has affected well over a
third of all the population of your world.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Do not diminish or minimize your own abilities to make a significant

individual.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>However, the Most Highs
definitely are influential in the circumstances around individuals—where they
live, where they work, those cultures around them that impinge their lives,

the Most Highs have been around a long time; their goals are long term.<SPAN

making steel:<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>How do you make
steel?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You don’t go out to a hole
in the ground and pull out rods of steel, but you take the elements that will
eventually be used to make iron and then forge it into steel.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Elemental iron, plus additives, plus
physical exertion upon the structure of the metal, makes steel—fairly basic
elements.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And what are the basic
elements of your world?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>They are
the land you live on, (and yes there may be cataclysms in the land,) and there
is air, and there is fire, and there is society, associations—and even in
associations, it is not individuals who are changed, but the slight influences
around them.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is much like what
happened in your country many decades ago:<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Individuals crossed this wilderness and tamed it, putting dams in front
of the mighty rivers, as they did not want the uneven influence of water to
erode their farms, flood their houses, and kill their children and livestock,
but to be used to nurture the land by making its flow even and steady; and to
use the running water to generate power.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">This is a similar influence of the Most Highs.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>They are here in very general ways;
their influence is very generalized.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>We do not have permission to disclose how they do influence individuals,
but it is not through direct cataclysmic personal tragedy or through
manipulating their mind mechanisms.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>If you were to use an electrical grid system and the power control
centers and those individuals who control that power, you can understand the
influence of the Most Highs more completely.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Now, you are thinking to last year or
the year before when your power grid experienced many ups and downs of
manipulations, which were contrived to earn some electrical association’s huge
amounts of extra income, which was secured by unjust, unfair and unethical means
from the common electrical user.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>This is not how the Most Highs work!<SPAN

all exemplifies the work of the Most Highs.<SPAN

principle for the administration of the affairs of man on your world—<B>an
even-handed application of influence for the highest and greatest good of the
greatest number of people.</B><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The
Most Highs are not interested in lining the pockets of already rich individuals,
but they are most interested in making life more productive for all
individuals.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Much like the
electrical grid system, everyone enjoys electrical power, to pump water, to cool
refrigerators, freezers, to mix bread and to power batteries that operate
electric vehicles, and so on.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is
even-handed.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is much like the
Most Highs being the Grand Utilities Commission, governing the water, the
electrical, the gas, the sewer—all those aspects that underlie the maintenance
of society.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Yet there is more!<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Not only do they <B>maintain </B>and
<B>sustain</B> your society, but also they create, and bring about changes,
which necessitate growth, education, ingenuity, and diversity.<SPAN

“even,” and it is long term.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Now let us, in a subtopic, associate this to the
political cataclysms that are occurring in your world right now.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You despair about the difficulties that
are occurring; you despair about the potential ramifications to your country,
its economy, and its associations with its allies, friends and neighbors in the
future, and how this may affect your life, how it may affect your children’s
lives, and your grandchildren’s, and their great-grandchildren—on for another
150 to 200 years.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Your thoughts are
not wasted, your concerns are not wasted, and they are meaningful.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You can see the potential for great
political disintegration and disharmony; you see this as potentially very
harmful and it threatens your life style, your comfort level, and your way of
being.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And surely it does; and
surely it will.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Yet it is much like
the rubble that occurred in the cities after your great wars.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This rubble was used for making new
landfills, extensions into harbors and bays where your cities can grow and
extend; literally, [this rubble] can be used to build new buildings, and so
on.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>When there is disarray caused
by mortal mismanagement, when there is destruction and disharmony, the Most
Highs see this as a high time of opportunity, a time for reconstruction, a time
for rebuilding, a time for implementing new plans or applying existing plans of
Michael for the Correcting Time on this planet.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Do not be glad to see this happen,
however, but participate in the rebuilding with you mind, heart, and
energy.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Yes the merkaba energy,
here, can be used to the betterment of your world in ways that you cannot
imagine.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This power source and its
energy is multi-dimensional, it can be applied in unlimited ways by <B>your</B>
conscious mind where you can think of, and in ways that you can <B>hope</B>
for.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">The Most Highs do not ever wish for the destruction
of any nation or any people or any culture.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>They do not need to do this for you
humans seem to be self-destructive enough already! (Snickering from the
group.)<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Mortals will do this and
will provide the new soil for a new society, for new associations.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>When societies become “hard baked,” such
as a lake bed that is hard as concrete, there cannot be much done about it, but
when that even surface that seems so comfortable to travel upon becomes wet,
becomes broken by a plow, then it provides a new environment for new
arrangements, new growths.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Old,
staid, powerful, crystallized, politicized relationships, once broken, become
new fertile ground for aiding those who have less, those who are in the
majority, those who literally are the large part of your populations (over 90%,)
for most of you [meaning the 90%] are powerless, and most of you do not
participate in that.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And were it
not for the participation of Michael’s Correcting Time, you could easily return
to feudal times once again.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">So my friends, the Most Highs are truly your friends,
your societal and civilizational guardians, the ones who see [you] through your
large changes and those ways that are destructive, and turn them into
productive, peaceful ways.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The Most
Highs are much like…are similar to your societies and civilization as your
Guardian angels are to your individual lives.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>They do not thwart your decisions, do
not thwart your will, and do not try to bridle your ego, but gently guide you in
ways that are helpful and productive.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>And only when you have totally dedicated your life to the Father’s way,
and you have <B>actively willed</B> to do the Father’s will above all else, only
then will your Guardian angels tie your shoestrings together and help you fall,
if that is needed, so that you can rise again.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Your societies cannot do that; they do
not have a will; they do not have spiritual sovereignty; they do not have
worth.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Believe it or not, your
societies do not have the worth of one individual, because they have no will,
they have no survivability.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Their
worth lies in their capacity to produce individuals of soul-growth capacity;
therefore they are worthwhile having and surely they will always be recognized,
encouraged, nurtured, by the Most Highs to grow.<SPAN

consciousness, your thoughts about this are primary to the healing of your
world.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>That is why, to get back to
the original question, the original statements of today’s session, of going
forward to teach others, to enlighten them, it is all about consciousness.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Even morality and ethics are of no use
without consciousness; didactic obedience to moralities and standards of ethics,
without conscious thought, do not enhance the survivability of individuals,
though it does train the mind for a more speedy progress through the morontial
world schools.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is only through
consciousness, and conscious decisions, understanding the repercussions of your
decisions in positive and negative ways, and by applying wisdom to take the
right course of action, that you truly contribute to your world.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Now this is the influence of Michael and
the Most Highs in the most intimate and personal way.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Do you see this grand loop?<SPAN

thought provoking session.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>If you
think of yourself as alone, and you may feel very much alone, even though you
are supported by your local universe administration down to your Thought
Adjuster and Guardian Angel.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>If you
remember the lessons of a few weeks ago, you also have come to understand the
intimate, loving, patient, co-creative participatory action of God, Creator, in
your own personal life, and it is <B>immediate</B>, it is <B>now</B>, it is for
<B>you</B>.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We want you to know
this, but most of all we want you to <B>feel</B> this —to feel the Creator’s
over-riding love for you, and the Christ Spirit’s immediate participation in
your life as you make decisions and go about your daily lives.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We hope this gives you hope, a peace of
living in a turbulent world in a conscious awareness that your lives are worthy
and worth while, and that they are for something more than just an economic
factor in your economy.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You are the
primary ingredient in the economy of a spiritual universe; you are one in mind
with the Thought Adjuster within you.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>The potentials of that combination are far more immense than you can
possibly imagine today. You will not be sacrificed, for the Creator’s experience
of living in you is immensely valuable.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>You have an <B>immense</B> contribution to make.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>When you become conscious of that on a
moment-to-moment basis, <B>every</B> <B>day</B>, you become an important and
powerful factor in the healing of your world and in the fulfillment of the days
of Light and Life of this universe level of existence.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
