style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Dear ones, we are present.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We know and perceive your souls within
your physical forms.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We see the
light of Spirit in you, around and through you too.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We perceive our oneness with you,
through the energies of Father, Son and Spirit.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We come to greet you; we come to meet
with you; we come to teach you; we come to fellowship with you.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We truly have a friendship and affection
for you, that reaches through the barriers of time and space, into the arena in
which your lives are performed and outworked.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Your material forms are the vehicles
through which you travel this mortal time/space framework.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>They are not the true reflection – their
inner spirits bright burning, golden glowing, light of love – but they are the
vehicles through which you must travel in this material and mortal realm.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is Eregon and there are others
here.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We greet you with glad
tidings.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">In our vast array of topics and
lessons, we will present today something that we desire to be timely:<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This TR has said frequently to friends
over the last few days, quoting Jesus, “To a God knowing Kingdom believer, what
does it matter if all things earthly crash?<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There is the unassailable bastion, the
citadel of the spirit, in which you may take refuge.”<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>When you look around you now, you can
observe what has been referred to as “re-directing cataclysms.”<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Be assured, they really are the
framework to a higher and better way of living.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The chaos that ensues as a result of
financial attitudes and actions that are occurring now, truly is the scaffolding
of a new and better way – at least [an] improved way – you are finding as a
global people that you are united in this struggle.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">And those of you who are affected
only marginally, are also able to observe how these economies and their
variations affect the poorest of the poor, who’s very lives depend on donations,
made and given by those who have what is determined to be their own
surpluses.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Even when it is the
richest of the rich who are losing the most in terms of dollars or dollar value,
it is the poorest of the poor who truly suffer the most through these
challenging times.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Do you wonder
what you can do to help them, when it is difficult to cover your own expenses
from day-to-day, or month-to-month?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>We perceive that you still desire to reach out and donate to the
charities, which you are committed to support, and have habitually
supported.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">We wish that we could fill your
bank accounts, so that all those who are upstanding, altruistic and noble in
their handling of surplus, would have surplus in these times, while those who
are less than trustworthy, would have less and less with which to work and
manipulate the lives and well-beings of others.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You will see that as these things slowly
work out, some of that effect will actualize.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>But we encourage you to continue to be
altruistic and noble to causes, which need the support of volunteers, in order
to continue.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">As has been said before, giving
from your plenty is good, but giving from your own needs produces an effect that
is different within the giver.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It
is a more profound and noble type of gift, as in Jesus’ story of the widow’s
mites.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>[The <I>Urantia Book</I>:
Paper 172: 4.2]<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Sometimes a little,
given with much devotion may somehow be made to go further on the receiving end
as well, because of the love that is poured into the giving.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Trust that this is so!<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>A little given with great love actually
does give more than the material part of the blessing.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>What a beautiful thing to contemplate
now.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Trust that we can deliver more
than money, more than funds, when the gift is given with great, true, and noble
devotions.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">And for yourselves, how do you
maintain inner peace, when your very ability to have a home may be
threatened?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>If you had been lazy,
if you had been irresponsible and had to face these consequences, perhaps you
would learn to exercise better discretion and other qualities of character,
through these threats.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>However, you
see now that these things can affect even those who did not participate in
irresponsibility or selfishness or greed.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>You have probably realized since childhood that the actions of a few
untrustworthy people can have repercussions, which affect many who are
trustworthy and responsible.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Perhaps one of the challenges in reorganization is to see that those
types of people and organizations do not have so much power.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Free market capitalism may be a
dirty-word phrase by the time your world has recovered from this series of
events.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Every type of organization, be it
a business, a church, a community government, a national government, financial
institutions – all can be operated and organized with rules that can be
interpreted either in a noble and idealistic way, or in a selfish,
money-grabbing, low level interpretation.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Can you force organizations to operate from the highest ideals of their
rules?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>No, children, sadly you
cannot.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Think of the lesson from
your <I>Urantia Book</I>:<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Jesus
talking on the interpretation of even the golden rule, to where it may be
interpreted in a base and far less than noble way, by one who’s heart and soul
is less than noble.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">People have believed that by
creating rules and regulations, there would be a way to enforce honorable
behavior, but honorable and moral behavior comes from an honorable and moral
soul.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Perhaps what is needed is
more training in the home, in regards to nobility of purpose, commitment to
goals and ideals, heartfelt sincerity and trustworthyness.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>When these values are instilled at an
early age, before the age of 10, they are carried throughout the lifetime of the
individual.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Perhaps it would be
good if much more attention were given to child training in these early
phases.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Still, you cannot control
how everyone will teach their children, and there will always be those whose
aberrant behavior affects the innocent around them.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Your culture and your country, and your
institutions will find and adapt more ways to reduce the effects that these
kinds of individuals [and their] decisions and behaviors, can have on those
around them who are not guilty of the same base motives and behaviors.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is an on-going process.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">The institutions and regulations
set in motion because of the Great Depression, beginning in 1929, the
organizations created after the end of World War I, did not prevent another
war.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The things set in motion at
the end of the Great Depression, did not prevent another financial
calamity.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The change must be in the
hearts, souls and minds of the participants of a culture, and especially of
those in power.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The next great
question might be; “How can it be created, that fewer and fewer of those with
untrustworthy ends, disloyal and selfish motives, reach positions of power,
whether it be in government, or in controlling the financial well-being of many,
or the spiritual well-being of many?”<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Yes, even spiritual leaders are subject to the temptation of using their
power for personal purposes.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Perhaps it would be good to set
up training for those coming into any kind of power, from the level of city
council to bank president, all the way up to those who participate in national
and worldwide organizations of both government and trade.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This would be a great challenge, to come
to agreement on how to train these things into people’s agendas.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It certainly would not be an easy thing
for all to agree upon.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">We love you, dear children; we
stand by you as your comrades and companions, through your challenges, and we
call out to the best that is noble, altruistic, faithful and hopeful in all of
you, for as you have noticed while watching your stock market, the very factor
of hope changes the economic reality of Wall Street.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>If you can see the effect of hope in
such things, can you possibly doubt that it works in your own life as well, on a
personal level?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Do not neglect to
be hopeful, happy, thankful and gracious.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>You will find that these qualities – mercy, kindness and friendliness,
faithfulness, honesty, trustworthyness – become more and more apparently
valuable as your money becomes less so. </P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Fear not for the true well-being
of your souls, but trust the Spirit within to guide you; trust in the Holy
Spirit to keep on saying, “This is the way.”<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The challenge of owning and possessing
and caring for so many material items, may be lessened.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You may find a lighter burden allows you
to more easily come in touch and under the influence of what is truly real and
good, to have in your lives.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So
fear not, and call out the noblest qualities of your soul.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Remember that a cheerful heart does good
like a medicine, and fill your heart with love and gratitude every day – even
more than once a day – for even though you may have challenges, you are loved
with an unbounded love.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You are
surrounded with forces that are dedicated to your good and your growth.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The true meaning of these things is not
how to hold onto your possessions during these struggles, but how to make a
stronger connection with your spirit reality.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">We would sit with you for a few
moments, pouring peace into your circle, and we would like you to consciously
focus on allowing it into your souls and minds.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>(Long pause.)<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Now, children, another would address you
with a brief message.</P>

abundance.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You have friends, family

you!<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And though the material world
may challenge your courage, let not your hearts be troubled, for what is true,
beautiful and good can never be taken from you, can never be reduced in value,
is always there when you need it, is always reliable and has the potential for
infinite increase.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The work we ask
of you may not pay off in material bonuses, but it will surely sustain your soul
