<P>TEACHERS HAM and TOMAS </P></B><B>
<P>HAM:</B> This is Ham. Good evening, everyone. I am grateful for the
opportunity to have a word with you all. There has been static on the line,
indeed. [Ed. This is a reference to the heavy static on the actual telephone
connection, which did clear abruptly.] But it is nothing we cannot get over. We
expected difficulties when we started this assignment. We knew the planet was in
for some geologic tumult, and planetary sociology would be in upheaval. And so
none of these events you are witnessing come as a surprise to us. But we realize
it must be difficult for many of you who are living through it. I urge you to
use detachment so that you can be aware, so that you may better serve, but
without becoming drawn into it. It serves no one when you get caught up in the
maelstrom, if you can at all help it. </P>
<P>Inasmuch as we knew it would be like this -- some days better, some days
worse -- we certainly appreciate that it takes its toll on you who have feet of
clay, and have had only a few years real training. But you have done well to
heed the words of our Teacher Corps and the Melchizedek Receivers, as well as
the Monjoronson Team and other entities and beings who have contributed greatly
to this planetary awakening of the spirit. It will not abate. We are not
scheduled for the dark ages; we are scheduled for a renaissance and we shall
have it. And sometimes, friends, that means that you must have it within
yourself to have it at all. But you now know that "the citadel of the spirit" is
the safe place. We have at least accomplished that much in those of you in whom
this seed has been planted and which grows daily.</P>
<P>I have not been active in your midst. I recognize the mortal tendency to fall
prey to insecurities when change occurs and reinforcement is not forthcoming. It
will never be that I will be removed from your midst permanently without your
having been advised. All of us are here in this era, this epochal stage, to
effect certain changes and stabilize reality as we turn the corner on this time
of change, which we forecast and which we now are witnessing. I am inclined now
to turn the microphone back to Tomas who will play host to you this evening.
There are others present, but I will not take over the agenda. Thank you for
your kind attention, and Shalom. </P><B>
<P>TOMAS:</B> This is Tomas. Good evening. It is good to have you here. It is
good to be here in your midst. </P>
<P>All of us have our tools, our specialties, our personal experience that we
bring to these occasions when we meet and share the inner life with each other -
this socializing and communing that we do, in this way or in actual physical
social interaction. Your new culture is emerging. The eras come and go, each
with their own character, as you who are familiar with the past century
understand that each decade brought with it its own style, its own message,
relative to that time and space and it all advances into our goal of light and
life for Urantia. </P>
<P>While the goal remains a steady light on the horizon, the day-by-day parts
that you live are the experiential stages upon which you act out your
perceptions and offer them into the collective consciousness and the Evolving
Supreme. As you contribute -- openly, purposively, consciously, or simply "as
you pass by," it is all relevant -- it all goes into the same advancing
consciousness, actualizing your potential and the potential of your world, of
the time in which you live.</P>
<P>You can certainly look back from Mansonia at the living history records of
your life and see the day and time in which you lived and acknowledge it as a
very exciting time, for how can it be denied that who live in the wake of the
Urantia Papers' arrival on your world, opening up all manner of celestial
assistance, cannot deny the honor of living in this time, the tremendous
opportunities, the overwhelming opportunities on your plate on a daily basis. I
am quite certain that they are so overwhelmingly great, you don't see them. I am
accustomed to this, however. I have come to appreciate how much you cannot see,
simply because of your proximity. </P>
<P>Of course, your faith enters in here because when you can and do act in faith
and allow yourself to be led by the spirit you will find yourself operating in
synch with the living way and divining right and left. What great fun that is,
as you know, for when you have experienced it, you want to tell others about it.
You feel extraverted. When you feel good, you want to share your good feelings.
This is a part of the joy of sonship.</P>
<P>To give yourself to God, to surrender to the divine will, is not to give up;
it is to be reborn, remade, and therein you become as a bright and shining star
in the heaven of humanity, there to twinkle and blink in your true light,
whether seen or not seen by those who don't look up. There are those who would
call that ego (but) it is not the same. </P>
<P>When you have the opportunity to serve, when the way is open before you, do
not hesitate. </P>
<P>There are other things we can discuss as the evening goes on. We have time.
Are there questions or comments? (Pause) Take your time. </P><B>
<P>Recca:</B> Yes, Tomas. Thank you for your encouraging thoughts and I'd like
to make sure I understood that was Ham who opened the conversation.</P><B>
<P>TOMAS:</B> Yes.</P><B>
<P>Recca:</B> Good. I guess that's the first time I've experienced a live
opportunity to be around him and I would like to ask both he and you to do a
little compare and contrast. We are now in a-- <B><I>I</B></I> am now, I should
say, in a fallow period
of feeling the joys of brotherhood
and I would like
to know if the Teacher Corps recognizes a pattern of enthusiasm and progress in
the human members of the Teaching Mission and have some response to that human
response. Thank you.</P><B>
<P>TOMAS:</B> Is this Recca?</P><B>
<P>Recca:</B> Yes it is. Can't you tell by the convoluted question?</P><B>
<P>TOMAS:</B> You are right at home there. </P><B>
<P>Recca:</B> Yes.</P><B>
<P>TOMAS:</B> Yes, we can deal with that, if I understand your concern. In fact,
I will invite Ham to share with me the method we used in Pocatello years ago --
Daniel and I. (Merium and I have done it, too.) -- That of the two-sided coin.
There are always two sides to these observations, are there not? Only divine
truth is <I>all</I> encompassing. Within the relativity of truth are myriad
variations, and we will take on two of them. One moment.</P><B>
<P>HAM:</B> This is Ham. I'd like to have the question clarified. You are saying
you are noticing a down time in fellowship?</P><B>
<P>Recca:</B> I am experiencing a feeling of
a lassitude, a slackening of
outward, forward enthusiasm and participation
not participation. I see in the
Teaching Mission -- I feel as though I have a clear understanding of the Mission
as far as my own spirit of truth but I feel like I am plodding. Plodding along,
learning and trying to be in the moment. And it isn't that it seems like work,
it just seems like I'm treading water and still being swept along half the time
and I'm hoping that this is simply a cyclical pattern that you recognize in each
of our individual participation in the understanding and the outworking of the
Correcting Time.</P><B>
<P>HAM:</B> All right, Recca. Again, I am Ham, and I will open this up and
suggest that Tomas will probably focus better on the heart of your difficulty,
but I want to do an overview and
</P><B>
<P>Recca:</B> Good!</P><B>
<P>HAM:</B>
remind all of you that as you become engaged in your sundry
Correcting Time activities -- ministries, organizations, family matters, and so
forth, in good faith and in good cheer -- you become so involved you neglect to
see the farther view. I will address the farther view for I know you have it in
you, but you forget, and so
The farther view is to extend the revelation into
the third world such that the entire planet is awash with revelation and its
cultural consciousness has then something on which to build a structure of
reality that will move the world forward.</P>
<P>The Urantia text can provide a history and perspective on the various
religions that will help stabilize the global consciousness. It has respect for
all these factors. It is not trying to take away others' religions or nations,
rather it honors them. If it is not clear in your thinking that the text does
that, then rethink yourself. Do not apologize for the revelation. It has not yet
begun to touch 90% of the planet.</P>
<P>Americans are so busy they gobble things up and spit them out and look for
the next taste treat without due respect for what went into the production of
that morsel. Perhaps the problem is that there is too much manufacturing and not
enough creating, artistically, but you forget how far advanced you are and how
much you have to give the rest of the world, how much you have to teach, how
much you have to show, how much you have to share. This is your responsibility.
</P>
<P>The Book came here for a reason. The Teaching Mission has been activated here
for a reason. You want to serve. And so you set out earnestly to serve in your
own life, recognizing you need to do your own correcting issues, and then you
run into other people with their issues, and so you begin the plodding and you
forget the overview. The overview is the tremendous abundance and freedom you
have in your consciousness, the security these beliefs provide you, that you
toss off like yesterday's wrapping paper in search of the next piece of
revelation. This could be discouraging. Rather, let me refer you to Tomas to
talk to you about the other side of the coin.</P>
<P>Let me just take this opportunity to say I have seen there is a note on the
table from a young man in
Argentina? I believe it is Argentina. I can't really
decipher this
who wants to know "are there any plans" for his country. Yes, my
son, there are plans for your country. We have plans for Uruguay and Panama and
Cuba, Rumania and every nation "under God." They will be brought forth as the
time allows, just as in the spring the plant comes forth when the sun and
growing conditions are ripe for its growing, and eventually, in time, it will
bear fruit. This is the future of your world. The spiritual seeds that are being
planted -- fifth epochal revelation seeds -- are being planted,
And that is
thrilling news. Tomas?</P><B>
<P>TOMAS:</B> Thank you, Ham, and let me see where I am here. The perspective of
plodding on in the sociology of humanity as you seek to serve. </P>
<P>Let me first give you a big hug and a pat on the back and a glass of water.
Water has a wonderful way of simplifying things. The complex human being loves
to complicate things. If it isn't worrying about something or concerned about
something or fretting about something, or someone, it feels inert. It's the
electro-chemical system, of course. And in such a very high-charged culture as
you have, with the television hyping you as it does, and the news and so forth,
with the demands on your time and the details of existence so perpetual, it is
not difficult to get buried in the mundane existence and its cares and forget
entirely the perspective that Ham spoke of which allows you to stand above the
fray and breathe fresh air, the crystalline air On High, and see that much of
what you are doing is unnecessary. The fretting and worrying you do is working
overtime. The details you fuss over are busywork. </P>
<P>A lot of the difficulty in the fellowship is based on the essential
correction that must go on in each individual as they learn to react and respond
to those in their environment. This is a technique that will go on throughout
eternity and so you might as well learn to enjoy the process, even as people
drive you crazy. You must find their value in order to give them back to God to
worry about. That's one less thing on your desk to worry about. </P>
<P>The more you can stop worrying about what other people are doing and focus on
what you need to do, the quicker you can get your own desk in order, your own
house in order, and that will simplify your life immeasurably. Because life
really is not complicated; it is really very simple. It's just that part of the
chaos is to keep it in motion. That stirs the e-motions, and while love makes
the world go round, all those other emotions are also involved and so it gets
very emotionally busy, as well as electro-chemically busy, and so it seems
congested, cloudy, uncomfortable, and you become irritable. You isolate. You
become ill. </P>
<P>We come back to Stillness. It's the only solution. To get away. To get away
with God. To find your center. Your own First Source and Center. Recognize your
limitations and appreciate that others have theirs as well. And then find the
gifts that are inherent in that relatively perfect paradigm. Gifts like fingers,
electric lamps, the taste of food, the fact of weather, relationship. The
richness of living is so profound, it is almost as if -- if I had a chance to be
human again, I would be so enamored of the experience of being alive and
beholding the gifts and enjoying the experience of being, I would regard
anything that came at me as something to deflect -- opening, however, for that
which was shown to you, led to you, revealed to you. There is a difference! The
adjutants can help you with that. They are on duty 24/7. </P>
<P>Yes, of course we anticipated there would be difficulty learning how to
communicate on new levels of awareness, that even among the children of God, the
faith children of Our Father, even they would run into difficulty because their
world, your world, would be opening, flooding your consciousness with new
awareness, new perceptions, and new personalities with which to deal. </P>
<P>The race for perfection may be on but you are not going anywhere too hastily,
and there are no shortcuts, so the fact of plodding on is truly a good gait.
Isn't that what Reggae is, really? Plodding on, with a beat? (Chuckle) And it's
very cheerful music.</P>
<P>Is this helpful?</P><B>
<P>Recca:</B> Yes, it is. Particularly if it
if that response from both you
and Ham was to me particularly, because some
Yes. It is. And-- I just -- I
don't like to think that I'm flighty or distracted or
</P><B>
<P>TOMAS:</B> Well, you may be flighty or distracted. So what?</P><B>
<P>Recca:</B> Yes. I like to think that I'm becoming more aware of my
these
sociologically shifting, changing, transforming patterns that you're talking
about, this new era that we're talking about here, which the Teaching Mission
is. It's just a little over-- daunting. </P><B>
<P>TOMAS:</B> Truly.</P><B>
<P>Recca:</B> I agree that the third world is most of the planet and the joy of
the surety of Father's presence is a great peace. I-- I thank you for
your--</P><B>
<P>TOMAS:</B> You're welcome, daughter. Thank you.</P>
<P>This is not to say it needs to be done as Americans, you know? That has
nothing to do with it. It certainly does have some bearing in terms of how
fortunate you are to be educated and well fed, to have waterways and highways.
Tremendous advantages. Tremendous technological advancements and so forth.
Tremendous resources. Publishing. </P>
<P>And you must not overlook the fact that a few people working together can
accomplish a great deal. They don't even all have to be in one spot. Like we are
spread out all over the galaxy here this evening, and yet we have a sense of
united purpose. If we were to sit down with a midwayer and an angel of the
nations, we might actually come up with a plan to dig a well in Somalia or
[build] a chicken coop in Nepal. Even though we've never seen it and may not
meet each other. This is one of the advantages that you have. </P>
<P>Look up. Take the farther view. But of course you don't want to overlook your
own soul growth. That is your primary responsibility to yourself, this
interweaving yourself with your Adjuster such that there is only a vague
recollection of where one meets the other. But your Adjuster is not the only one
you are here to serve. There are other seraphim and heavenly helpers that you
can provide arms and legs and hands and feet and eyes and tongues and ears and
ideas for. </P>
<P>Don't get me wrong. I am not chiding anyone for not doing enough. No, not at
all. Do not mistake that. You were overwhelmed, sometimes, and it does seem that
way. When that happens, go inside. Simplify. Simplify. Simplify. Give back to
god what you dont need to take care of and take care of what you can - joyously
and without shame. </P>
<P>No one person can save your world. Even Jesus couldn't save your world, if
that's what you want to think. The non-believers were and are many. And so you
cannot go out and save the world in that context. That's not your job. The
planet isn't lost. It's at a stage of development. A very thrilling, exciting,
dynamic, and demanding time. </P>
<P>Anything else? (Pause) It would seem we have come to the end of our hour. I
am glad you spoke up, Recca. I hate to do all the talking. Thank you, Ham, for
being here this evening; we appreciate your tenacity, and the loyalty of all the
helpers. And from Gerdean, "thanks for tuning in." And from all of us, Amen and
Farewell.</P></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
