<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">I
am ABRAHAM. Greetings. I am feeling revived by your relaxed group attitude this
evening. When we can all gather together we can remember why we serve. We can
refocus on the business at hand. Life and living it to the fullest potential is
our business. We do what we can to make it better for those up and
coming.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">Urantia at this time seems to be caught up in such
rampant emotionalism. I am beginning to understand that this time is really the
direct result of rampant emotionalism. Man’s wishful thinking, sometimes selfish
desires or simply personal faithful causes, will lead man to act in a manner
that brings results. Sometimes the actions are without integrity. We are now the
sum total of our thoughts. This is evolution. This is a springboard into change.
The world’s occurrences are a reflection of what it has valued. The pendulum is
in mid swing. We are at the beginning of a new breath. We are rising above the
chaos to find the truly valued aspects of this mortal
life.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">I
am MARY and once again, happy here to be among you. Abraham’s words tonight lead
me to remember the crucifixion of our Master. People were literally forced to
take sides. They were made to think about where they stood in their belief
system. There are always Father’s children who are not as experienced as others.
There are always those who live in a fearful state or a protective shell. There
will always be those individuals who live to look righteous, but I well believe
that for the most part at this time on the planet, that the common man is
capable of rising above selfish desire toward finding real
purpose.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">Love comes not with a price tag. Truth comes not without
some pain. Beauty is that occurrence that touches the soul, something that
continues to live on in the minds of those who had the experience. The Master’s
cruel treatment and devastating manner of death caused each person to make life
decisions, decisions hopefully that would be in effort toward an ultimate good.
After the Master was gone from us we were left with those truths He gave us. We
were left on our own to use what He had taught us. The individuals, who knew
Jesus and worked for the cause, were more dedicated than ever. After His death,
after the emotion had died down, purpose came to mind. Courage became a part of
us that we had not known before.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">This world is new every day. A few individuals make a
difference every day. We have the choice to be self-serving or to serve, to be
spiritual or animal. Man is not a prisoner of his own habitual thinking. We can
always rise above to reach for new and better things. The world is simply a
direct result of its collective thought--not good or bad, just evolving. This
week let us make effort toward putting our energy to good use. Remember those
things that are true, beautiful and good and that love is a sustaining energy.
This week I will answer questions. Abraham stands by. Have you
questions?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

to be a great deal of creative energy that you have within, but many times have
not confidence to follow it, instead you are seemingly more trusting of others
ideas and inclinations. You have a bright outlook on life and can do a great
deal with your own inner spiritual inclinations. That is all. (Thank you.)
You’re welcome.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">CALVIN: Abraham, I heard you and Mary talk about how a
few will affect the whole in time. I can see how the Master’s life affected so
many in a short time and such a small exposure, yet in these 10 years of this
Teaching Mission we haven’t seen massive numbers by no means to hear these
lessons, to me is most fascinating of any reading material we could have. It
makes me wonder why we don’t have so many people in ten years, no churches built
up. What would be your assessment?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">ABRAHAM: It’s not important. It’s not the purpose of the
Master to reel in the numbers. Permanent change takes a great deal of time and
planning. Mankind always has free will choice. What we call our cause, our
movement, is not important. What is our focus is to reach those listening
individuals who dare to move forward without temptation to take credit. If one
mother is better to her child, then we have done our job. If one man has become
a better husband, father, brother, friend, we have done our job. If one county
official has voted to forego some luxury in favor of keeping jobs, that is what
our </SPAN><st1:City><st1:place><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">Mission</SPAN></st1:place></st1:City><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt"> is about. We will not be organized, nor contained. We
will not exactly be so efficient, but certainly sufficient. The Teaching Mission
is a drop in an ocean of students. We are not looking to separate. We are hoping
to unify. Take the Urantia Book, for example, some can hardly read one page
without confusion. Some are so driven by it they become imbalanced. Some simply
use it for a guideline. Still it is a tool to enlighten. It is not a savior. It
is a tool to come to understand the Savior, but it is not contained, it is not
limited, it is not owned--such is our </SPAN><st1:City><st1:place><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">Mission</SPAN></st1:place></st1:City><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt"> and the Correcting Time and evolution is slow and I am
thankful we have eternity. Are you understanding? (Yes. You shed some great
light on the Urantia Book and the Teaching Mission. Thank you.) Wonderful. Good
question. Thank you.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">DIANA. Abraham, I would like to thank you, Mary and all
those teachers who I have come into contact here in this area, including others
and friends here in this room. I’ve learned so much being here and I can finally
say I am truly grateful for all that I have learned. I just want to take a
moment and honor you for being such a close friend and wonderful teacher to me.
I want to ask if you have any words for me as I make this move, change,
particularly those tasks I might find helpful in the coming weeks to keep me
moving forward. It just occurred to me that perhaps my friend, Emulan, will no
longer be traveling with me and I need to know if I should be saying good-bye to
him.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

That is faith. That is trust. I will visit you often, as will Emulan. Do not
worry. You are quite capable of serving in this

continuing conversations with you. Continue to find time to have stillness and
meditation. Be aware that those that are with more years does not mean they know
more. Be careful who you listen to. You are fully qualified to be guided by the
spirit within. This should be a freeing and joyous time for you. Run with it and
Godspeed. (Thank you) You’re welcome. Are there anymore pressing

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN

down a bit. Have not worry about time that is not filled with busyness. Be
watchful of activities that might look good on the outside because they are
seeming to bring purpose, while after some research you find that some things
were not what they appeared to be. You are an ambitious child. You have dreams
that you have not thought about acting upon. It is acceptable to test your
skills. Do some experiments. Remember who is in charge or in whom it is you
serve. He longs to guide you every step of the way, as He does with all of you.
