am touched by your faithfulness. I am moved by your willingness to work for the
growth of the Kingdom. When there is a show of faith, Father always uses the
opportunity to the fullest. Father’s works and your idea of His works may not
align, but your experience and time in this new era has shown you that all works
for the good of the whole. I am with a humble heart to see the many children of
the Correcting Time unify in faith. For this moment in time we can overlook the
politics of our cause and redirect our focus back to Father’s original
plan.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman">Some years ago we began the
purpose of creating a time of correction for a misguided world. Many teachers
were trained and were sent on assignment without the security of knowing that
their efforts would be productive. We found this world a place of deep longing
and hungering for truth. Common religion was really no longer serving the common
man. The Correcting Time is in answer to the world’s prayers. We have responded
to your call, and yet much of the time you are blinded from our
response.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

ahead let us begin the practice of listening and being observant. You have the
entire universe in front of your eyes—you have only just to look back to our
beginning days and remember the quest that was first suggested. Have not worry.
Know that joy and abundance are also a part of living. That is all. I will take
some questions.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman">CALVIN: Abraham, thanks for
being with us tonight and putting up with our group ways and our individual
ness. In your words tonight you referred to going back to those earlier days. It
is probably a hot topic of directors from your side of having more of hands on
approach to teacher group assignments, even transmitters, so there is not a lot
confusion and error. How would you address that?<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman">ABRAHAM: My referral was
more toward having the faith of a child. A child is more interested in the
journey than the destination. In the beginning this was new for all of us and
there was unspoken respect and reverence, which humbled one to be more
receptive, more observant. We can think of the apostle Thomas when he supported
the Master’s cause. He knew not why Jesus did what He did, but he was willing to
go forth no matter what. For Thomas this was difficult, but mostly a simple
matter of making a decision and being committed to seeing it through. All things
will evolve. People will come and go, but Father will remain the same and truth
will become evermore apparent. Truth is lasting and as we evolve will all see
what hold true. Is there more to this question?<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman">CALVIN: You brought out
that we did have a lot of teachers trained in the beginning to come aboard.
Being new, surely it was quite a shock to our system—everything from skepticism
to fanaticism. Quality control of truth was probably an issue, at least from my
viewpoint. Putting too much breaks on and not allowing the new versus this
anything goes and a lot of untruth coming through. I remember how there seemed
to be quite a bit of permission granted in those early days of teacher
assignments and TR’s being prepared. Have we evolved out of that or would that
be good to get back those careful ways?<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT
face="Times New Roman"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt">ABRAHAM: When we think of
the spreading of the Master’s teachings, you can see there were only a few that
clung to the truth. There were many branches that went off with good intentions,
and yet in the end self-glory overpowered spiritual growth. The Correcting Time
is in its beginning stages and there will be mistakes and some changes. There
will be those who find this work too difficult and leave it for something
simpler. There will be those who look for ego-gratification or even just
somewhere they can be noticed or appreciated. When the majority of the Teaching
Mission members find their commitment rooted in setting Father as their
sovereign and serving the Brotherhood--then will there be stabilization. This
cause is still in its infancy and with all our participation we can watch it
grow into a thing of beauty. Teachers will come when they come. The natural flow
is best. To put great effort into causes without even the smallest fruitful
results, then perhaps redirection of focus is necessary. Father is no doubt in
His Heaven and not a thing happens that He does not already know about. To trust
in Him is a step in the right direction. Then will individuals be prepared to
receive teachers and be balanced in </SPAN><st1:place><SPAN

you. You were always my favorite person in the Old Testament. I appreciate you
taking the time to correct us and be there in the places of where the religions
have failed us so much. I would like to ask you how I could improve possibly my

would say that I have never intended to put correction upon you, but to hold out
my hand to give you a step up. No, it’s not my job to correct. You have made
that decision for yourselves and might I say, well done. Your study group seems
to be moving as it should. My only suggestion is to relate what you study to
circumstances in everyday life. This brings the book to life. This makes what
seems difficult useable and understandable. You do well, Azsuray. Your next

next question I have is why is it that the Urantia Foundation does not recognize
the Teaching Mission, for it is truth, beauty and goodness. I believe it is true
and I don’t have anymore Spirit of Truth than anyone else. Why is that they will
not? Is it because they want separateness? You tell me. I can’t figure it
out.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman">ABRAHAM: My own
understanding is that the difficulty lies within change itself. Many individuals
feel safe in the familiar. Their stability lies within what they already know.
This newness is bringing them to the unknown and that seems to them to be a loss
of control. They are well intentioned people, and yet they have not the control
they think they do. God’s work will continue on with or without them. Still they
serve an important function—the spreading of the Urantia Papers. Does this help?
(Yes it does. Thanks.) Another question?<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman">DIANNA: Abraham, this
lesson speaks of expansion and healing in this moment. It feels to me that my
inner sense is being focused on a connectedness—not only to what you were saying
about being connected to Father, but also being connected to all that is true,
beautiful and good in my brothers and sisters and the energy surrounding us. It
is as if I sense my own power and conviction in my choices to move forward, and
at the same time I can trust my brothers and sisters in that connection to do
the same. So there is no need for the politics that you discussed earlier. All
that is required is this focus and faith. Can you address
that?<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman">ABRAHAM: Absolutely
correct. Very well said, Dianna. It is a matter of feeling connected, equal on
all levels with your fellows and feeling that surety of being a child of God.
This is unity. This is the Brotherhood of Man and the Fatherhood of God. This
connectedness is exactly what we are striving for. In that there are no feelings
of separation and need to be noticed or specially tended to. Peaceful well-being
and unity, yes. Well said. Another question?<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

see that you seem to be somewhat suspicious of the abundance that life has to
offer. Looking back on your days it would seem like life would be coming to a
balanced point and then adversity would strike. You are maturing in mind and
spirit and learning that this suspicion is sabotaging your happiness. Accept the
good for what it is and know that you are fully capable of dealing with any
adversity that comes your way. You have built a strong spirit able to withstand
anything. Take joy in that much and be comforted by the One who has helped you
this far. Our Father wants for your happiness. Have not worry over the medical
concerns, for these are temporary and somewhat routine. Accept with a glad heart
those wonderful things which may come your way. They are free. You need not pay
a price, no. As you mature in mind and spirit you can find life to be less peeks
and valleys, and more of an open road. Have not worry. You do well. Another

I am happy to see your enthusiasm toward living a spirit led life. I am touched
by your faith and I admire your discipline in living. I would make a few
suggestions toward a more serene life. I would suggest that you embrace the
disorganized in mortal living. Acknowledge the imperfect and reconcile your mind
with that. Allow for imperfections and flaws in all aspects of life. Your
openness will be a light to travel by. The flexibility in mind leads to growth
in spirit. Have not worry. Know that life is sometimes messy and that is
perfectly acceptable. Overall you do well and to be more flexible in mind will
aid in physical ailments. Have not worry. Our connection weakens. One more
