</SPAN>Good morning, this is Bob.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>It is good to be here with you and I, too, am basking in the glow of this
energy, this calmness that is here.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Today we will cover one more fundamental, basic
lesson, the “Afterlife.”<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Most of
you here are well acquainted with the afterlife, so this lesson is intended for
newer people who are unacquainted with your universe orientation.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You are fortunate to have been
acquainted with <I>The Urantia Book</I>, which paints a very large overview of
the universe and your participation in it.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>It gives you a time, place and situation/orientation to aid you in your
placement, to understand why you are here, what you can do while you are here,
and what happens afterwards.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial"> <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">The afterlife means that era of life, after this
mortal existence.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It however is
directly connected to your pre-life, this life, for it is all one chain of
events.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You would know that your
God Within, your Thought Adjuster, your Mystery Monitor, the Kingdom of God
within you—whatever you want to call it, especially the Essence of the Creator,
a rather universal term—is within each of you, and that this Fragment, this
Essence of the Creator, prepared for its placement in you long before your
birth.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It chose your life to learn,
and as you may surmise, there are Fragments of God that were invested in other
individuals, who rejected the afterlife, and these are experienced beings, they
are Fragments of God with more experience than what we might call a “virgin
Fragment of God,” one who has not been invested in a mortal being before.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial"> <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">And yes there is a plan of life for you.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This was known also before your
birth.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Thus the Fragment can
prepare for your growth, your awakening, to help you understand and work through
your learning situations of life and living on a material planet.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is challenging for you, and even
though your Fragment of God can understand you and know you, and hear you—all
that goes on within you, with a degree of intimacy that would almost shock
you—yet that Fragment takes a “hands off” participation in your life by not
usurping your will, your decisions.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial"> <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">The only place that your Fragment can affect your
life is through the pre-decision choices, thinking, examination, analysis, and
contemplation of those situations before you make decisions.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Much as you would highlight a passage in
a book, your Divine Fragment might highlight and emphasize, bring to brilliance
an idea, a thought, a choice, into your thinking, that comes to your
attention—or it may not come to your attention, depending upon other fears,
anxieties, and choices that you have.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is a slow and arduous process
for your Divine Fragment to influence your life.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>That is why the contemplative life that
you know about, that you have seen exemplified in various contemplative
religions or sects of religions, are very productive for soul growth.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Yet some of these contemplative
traditions neglect to act out in the reality of living, living passively.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There is only one place where your
growth can come into existence, and that is the moment of decision-making.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>If you hide yourself away in a safe
environment and make no decisions, such as in a monastic situation, then you
will not grow, for growth and soul value are only determined by decisions.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">On a mortal planet, your soul survivability is not
determined by what you think, or what you say, but by what you do.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And as you grow closer to Paradise on
your infinite journey, more is decided and determined by what you say and what
you think, for in the end, you must be “in sync”, you must be “one with God,” to
enter Paradise and the embrace of your Creator.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It begins here on this mortal sphere,
this material place of hard rock, and four dimensions, where you live your life
out by making decisions.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial"> <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">And so, during this brief introduction, you have
gotten a foretaste of the journey.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>The journey includes much guidance, <B>immense guidance</B>.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Now that the circuits are open to your
world, which once was in quarantine from the rest of the universe, all the gates
of assistance are open to you.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Yes,
you have guardian angels, and yes, you have a celestial teacher.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Celestial Teachers are those individuals
who have volunteered to be here to gain further soul growth experience for their
own lives, by being here, by being witness and participating, making decisions,
assisting much as Thought Adjusters and guardian angels do to aid your progress
on this planet.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So the afterlife
begins before you were born.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Some
religions have seen this as the ‘Great Wheel of Life.’<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Some have seen this lifetime as an
intense short respite; on the other hand, others see it as an intense experience
of living of thousands upon millions of decisions that you will make throughout
your lifetime, that you will “chew on” during the afterlife, thinking about your
life, reviewing those experiences, and yes, vicariously reliving them again to
gain and squeeze greater wisdom out of those experiences, for your lives are
extremely rich, extremely intense on this planet that has so many challenges to
you.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial"> <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">So you may say that you chose this life, this body,
this family that you came to, an environment to learn in.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>That’s how the Thought Adjuster sees
it.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is the situation to
engage--your Divine Fragment is aware of your family, your mother and your
father, your grandparents and great-grandparents, your geographic environment,
the siblings that will come into your lives—these will all have a tremendous
effect upon your life and how you make decisions.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Nothing has been exempt from this
examination.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And yes, you may not
have gotten your red bicycle for your tenth birthday—that can be overlooked as a
major decision—but your disappointment would not be.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Your disappointment and how you reacted
to that is a level ground upon which your Divine Fragment can aid you to
grow.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Your placement in your
family, whether you are first born, second born, or the only child, has a
tremendous effect upon your development and the challenges that come into your
life.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You are perhaps thinking that
there must be patterns for families, and patterns for life and living, and yes,
surely there are.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There are
literally dozens upon dozens of family living situations in which new souls, new
beings, new lives can be formed, and the patterns are very similar from culture
to culture, just as your physical type is similar to other physical types on
your planet.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Your uniqueness stems
from who you are, your personality and how you interact with that; the variables
are immense, but you are truly unique; there is no one like you, no one as you
are and never will be.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You are
truly identifiable to your Creator, you are known thoroughly to your Divine
Fragment, and it’s immediate-continuous association with the Divine
Creator.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial"> <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">You determine the type of afterlife that you enter
into.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You truly do.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You can reject the afterlife altogether;
you can reject that you are a part of a larger life; you can reject that you
were created and brought into existence for a special purpose, for a special
<B>unique</B> relationship with the Creator; you can reject the afterlife—you
can say, “I will have none of it!”—and you can command that into existence for
the finiteness of your life, and it will be respected, my friends.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>However, (and there is a “however” on
your planet) because of the immense yawning chasm of ignorance of the afterlife
on your planet, due to the underlying reasons that put your planet in
quarantine, few of you actually, thoroughly know and understand what your life
is all about.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And so each of you,
as it has been ordained for those living on this planet, will all awaken on the
mansion worlds, where you will be resurrected and brought to full awareness of
your infinite life, as you determine it to be.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Then you can make your decision to exit
the universe or continue on.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You
can go to the nothingness as though your life never was, as though you were
never here, or you can continue on.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Your will is sovereign; it is respected.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Your life here on your world is
determined by your decisions, and so it is in the afterlife.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">At our last session we spoke about energy and how you
use it.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You can use this universal,
common energy, this non-empirical energy that comes from The Source of the
universe, for any purposes you wish, for any good or any harm that you wish, but
in so doing, you leave a trail, a track-record of your decisions —and all your
decisions are recorded.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Your
guardian angel keeps a very intimate and detailed record of your struggles,
those inner struggles and outer struggles, and particularly your decisions and
how you act on them that have significant meaning for your placement in the
afterlife, your survivability.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Just
as members of your species breed animals, (race horses, dogs, cattle, birds, and
fish), you breed them for a particular strain—long legs, great speed, endurance,
or for great weight, for great milk content, for healthy specimens of the
species—and you do this too, but for the development of your life, by the
decisions that you make.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You
create, so to speak, a “progeny” in your life by the decision you make and the
potential that is generated through your decisions.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">We will have another basic lesson for you on the
fundamentals of developing a meaningful life of soul survival value in another
session.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Today, we are speaking
about the afterlife.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The afterlife,
to use another metaphor, is much like preparing to cross your world’s largest
ocean in a 15-foot dinghy.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>How
would you prepare?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Given a choice,
would you choose a larger boat?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Perhaps you would chose a boat or a ship that is too large for one person
to handle, yet you are the only one there to manage it and direct it and
maintain it, and guide it into the safe harbor at the end of its destination, so
you choose a larger boat than 15 feet, perhaps 25 or 30 feet.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You choose it of good, sturdy
material.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is your life!<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Now how would you provision it to arrive
at the harbor?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Would you take a jar
of peanut butter, a box of crackers, and a gallon of milk and set out?<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Surely you would be in the throes of
death before long.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>No, you would
prepare for the duration, but is that all?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>No, that is not all.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You
would prepare for the party, the welcoming, the grand salute to you when you
arrived in the harbor, meeting friends, comrades, rejoicing, reliving old times,
examining your journey across the sea—this is your life, and that is your
afterlife.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So you would provision
your ship and you’d stock it well, with those things that would aid you to
survive —food, water, and mechanical equipment for expected repairs you would
have to make.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You would need a
chart, some navigation aids; you would need a star map, a compass, and an
understanding of how to use them.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>This is your life in preparation for the afterlife.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Yes, some of your decisions may take you into the
doldrums, that place where there is no wind, so you pull out your oars, or your
treadmill that powers the propeller, and you power yourself through it by your
own fortitude.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You have faith, a
belief and you trust that you can cross the doldrums without wind.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And there, there are no currents, so you
wait and you peddle and you make progress.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>You continue to make decisions; you see storms up ahead, but will you go
through them anyhow?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Will you try
to avoid them?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Will you study old
charts, and old weather patterns to help you through them, or to avoid
them?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is your choice; it’s your
life.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Others have been here before,
have gone through the same experiences, very similarly, except that this time
these are <B>your</B> experiences, <B>your</B> decisions that will help propel
you into the afterlife.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Making
wrong decisions, your ship may be in tatters, you may have to wait to be saved
by an outside source, an outside safety net, brought into harbor, healed,
patched up, where you can review your mistakes and decide whether you want to go
on or quit.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">You are beginning to see that your life is all about
decisions; your current situation in life has been determined in large part by
the decisions you made earlier, some of them very subtle, when the circumstances
of those decisions were not fully known to you.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Some of the aspects of your situation
now were made through your decisions, when you had no knowledge of how they
would impact your future life.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>But
you made the decisions; and bless you for making those decisions!<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Yes, bless you, for if you make no
decisions you do not grow; you only demonstrate your lack of courage; you
demonstrate your lack of faith in yourself in your co-creative relationship with
the Divine, which is so intimate in your life.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Bless you for making decisions!<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Even wrong decisions can help you,
that’s why a time of reverie, a time out in life, to contemplate, examine your
life and its decisions and its circumstances, can help propel you swiftly along
the way.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It’s much like deciding to
take a turn in your trip, 30 degrees to the south, and there you find currents
in the ocean, which propel you forward, and winds from your back that propel you
forward again.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Your speed is much
more swift by that decision.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

around you, and you have made decisions—or not—to be with them or let them be in
your life.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Sometimes it is as
necessary to exclude individuals from your life as it is to include them; it is
as important to learn to exclude choices from your agenda, which are

become aware of who has these sensitivities, other than from their own

</SPAN>Yes.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I have one more
question. (Certainly.)<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>A little bit
off the topic, but it seems to me that <I>the Urantia Book </I>refers to us as
having 7 senses, and you know in our physical world, we’ve measured five, and
I’ve had some theories about what the other two were, but could you explain
about it?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

your question at this time.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

</SPAN>I have a question.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It’s off
topic totally if that’s okay…is that okay?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>(Certainly.)<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Well, I can’t
help but notice that there’s a lot of things going across my consciousness these
days, of other beings who are talking to other humans, especially on the
Internet, there’s a wealth of channeled material right now, and I suspect that’s
just because the circuits are opened and a lot of different things are possible
to humans.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Is that right?<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>(That’s correct.)<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I guess it’s important to use one’s
discernment to filter the information, but I’ve been reading some things just
recently about a being named Kryon, and there’s some information that I find
very uplifting and hopeful, so I was attracted to it, and concerning a grid work
that’s surrounding the earth, that has been undergoing transformation over the
past dozen years, and I guess in response to the circuits being opened, and also
it has to do with the structure of our DNA and our personal intent to change our
own DNA by intention to resonate better with this new grid structure…it’s just
buzzing around in my brain and I just wanted to ask, if that stuff is an
accurate assessment of what’s been happening?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Bob:<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I
can validate several points, without validating the whole source or process that
you describe.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Yes, the circuits
have been reconnected; yes, they are being developed; yes, there is a grid work
around the planet.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is being
enhanced and made whole and unified.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>As for the chromosomal development of your planet, there is much work
that needs to be done through humans alone, through their own choices.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>A word that many of you exclude from
your conversations is eugenics.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Eugenics has a valid place in the expansion and healing of your species
and the healing of the chromosomal development.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Yes, there is a conscious effort on the
part of the planetary managers to up-lift the chromosomal healing of your
species.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We wish not to get into a
detailed discussion of this at this time.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>We decline to discuss other sources of wisdom, such as the source you
mentioned.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We do not enter into the
acceptance or refutation of those sources. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is a part of the human discernment
process of making decisions of what is valid and what is not.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is a vitally important aspect of
the expansion of wisdom within your species at this time, as there are many
influences that abound on your planet that are incoming to your planet, and so
you must discern what is wise and what is not, what makes sense and what does
not, what leads to the improvement of your life and what does not.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You should see these sources and your
own validation as very intimately connected to your survivability.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You must realize that as you are
marketed to by various commercial enterprises, and are given the best side of
each product and service, so too, you must learn to decide and discern what is
good information that you receive.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>This is a part of your growth; it is one more broadening experience that
is developing in your world.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Thank
you.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

</SPAN>I have a question, Bob.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Something that has caused me to ponder long and hard, to try to
understand as you were talking about using one’s discernment, we are taught in
<I>the Urantia Book </I>that Lucifer made the mistake in trying to take
shortcuts with our development on this world.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And yet, there are aspects of the
Teaching Mission and various other things that at times, appear to be bordering
on shortcuts as well.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And then I
contrast that with the individual revelations and epochal revelations that
individuals and groups receive, which clearly…while they may not be a shortcut
under some definitions, nonetheless, change the course of development
dramatically, and I was wondering if you could perhaps elaborate, and help me
understand where one draws the line in terms of what is a shortcut and what is
appropriate celestial up-stepping?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Bob:<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Certainly.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There is a plan
of development for every planet for the evolution of societies and individuals
and cultures, civilizations; there’s a plan for planets and there’s a plan for
individuals.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The shortcuts, which
you speak about, were non-existent, they were actually egoistic detours, and the
thinking of individuals who thought they had a better plan, a better way than
the tried and true plan for this planet, which is replicated from many other
planets.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>They were all detours;
there truly are no shortcuts.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>If
God wanted a shortcut, you would have been made perfect, already.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There is great benefit in structured
development, organized development, and intentional development.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You know this yourselves from the
developmental necessities that children go through—skip a phase or two and they
have uncoordinated lives in other aspects, in other areas.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial"> <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Now, your planet is not back on course, and truly
never will be back on course, but it is going the long route because the detours
didn’t work.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The long route is
this:<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Your Creator Son, Michael,
has chosen to bring your world into healing through the coordinated, co-creative
participation of mortals and celestial/angelic/spiritual influences, through a
union of co-creative, conscious, coordinated activity.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It begins first by the conscious
awareness of the individual being in relationship to the Divine.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Though that exceeds the angelic and
celestial levels, certainly the Divine exists in you.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Then spreading that awareness to
communities, and at the smallest level above the individuals, to the family,
where families become aware that they are co-creatively involved in
participation, and participating in healing this planet through rearing their
children correctly, wisely, lovingly—and that doesn’t mean keeping them from out
of harm’s way or helping them avoid making tough decisions or making life easy
for them, but helping them grow through the developmental stages of growth and
learning.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So there are no
shortcuts, though some have been made on other planets and on yours.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Those are managerial decisions, through
the planetary managers, through the Life Carriers, who participate in the growth
and development of your planet.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

</SPAN>I have a further question.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>(Certainly.)<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>For as long as
I’ve been working with the teachers, I have never felt a need to say an opening
prayer … (inaudible) …or that sort of thing, and yet I’ve heard numerous people
advocate the need for that, and I’m wondering what your input might be in regard
to that?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I guess what I’m really
asking is if my intent when I connect with the teachers, if my intent is that I
am connecting with those that are working with Michael and Machiventa, would not
my intent be enough?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

</SPAN>Yes.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Your intent is primary
for your entering into contact, primary for entering into the Stillness,
entering into meditation.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>If you
have mixed intents, whether they are conscious or unconscious, then a
statement/invocation of protection would be advised. (I have no mixed
intents.)<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I was not speaking to you
in particular.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>When you finally
know, not believe, not even trust, not even have faith—but when you <B>know</B>
God is in you, God’s presence is around you, that you are “one with the all” and
the “all is one with you,” and that “all is good,” and that your intention is to
engage that, you have nothing to worry about, nothing to be concerned.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>(Thank you.)<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Any doubt along the process, always
reveals itself in a necessity for protection, and that is
wise.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
