It is good to observe your thoughts, to hear your discussion, and to be a part
of your lives at this very important time in the healing of Urantia. Tonight I
wish to address directly the topic brought up earlier this evening, the
tumultuous times in which you live. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman"'>Clearly I am not here to prophesize, to
predict, to explain, and so forth, no! What I am here to do this evening is to
promote enthusiasm. These times are challenging! Yes! And what is it that we
have striven to communicate about challenging times at both a personal level
and in the larger social arena? These times create significant opportunities
for growth.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=4 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=4 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman"'>Think about the growth of a child or a
young animal. Growth is not a smooth, steady, continuous, day-by-day,
hour-by-hour change. No! Growth occurs in spurts, in plateaus, in spurts, in
plateaus. Challenging times provide the platform for the greatest, the largest
growth spurts. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=4 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman"'>Your world is at the brink of great
accomplishment—should that be the cumulative will of Urantia’s
people. Yes, the cumulative will of Urantia’s people. Yes, there are
those factions who are embroiled in fear, embroiled in hate and revenge, but
they are a minority. We see great possibilities from the current crisis. We
would urge each of you to take that time in stillness and in prayer—not
only for your own deepening of your relationship with Father, for the peace
that it brings to your daily life, for the opportunities that it provides for
you to be of service, to respond to the prompt—but because when your sit
in stillness, you become part of a collective mind—if you
will—through the circuitry—if you will—and you assist in
strengthening the cumulative will that will see that God’s Will will be
done on this planet, will be done on earth as it is in heaven. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

over the next decade? Clearly Urantia will not achieve the advanced stages of
Light and Life in such a short time, but progress can be made. Progress is
upon the people of Urantia if they so choose to seize this moment, this breath
in time. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman"'>This TR has been given the personal image
in her own life to “feel the pregnant expectancy.” This approach
to life helps you personally, and it helps you collectively. The purpose of my
discussion with you this evening is to focus on the collective rather than the
personal. And, yet, as you pursue it, you will find that they are one. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=4 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman"'>Urantia cannot be healed without the
individual healing of her people, and, at the same time, the healing of the
institutions and so forth of Urantia assist to heal her people that much more
quickly. So focus on your individual growth, yes, but carry hopeful expectancy
for the collective. For you Star Trek fans, I am not referring to the Borg.
[Laughter] No, quite the opposite; the Borg had no freewill. I am referencing
freewill acting in unison. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

is indeed a positive that could come from this, but it is but one. We see a
wide array of possibility. Certainly it is necessary that Urantia, Urantians,
stop living beyond their means, stop taking from the future generations to meet
the materialistic desires of the current generations. Not just financially but
in impacts on the earth, herself. The current situation also provides an
opportunity to more equitably share the bounty of this planet, so that some
don’t starve while others drown in over-consumption. A simpler way of
life would provide for all Urantia’s people emotionally, physically and,
yes, spiritually. Finding balance with technology is also a challenge. Those
very devices, technologies, that can free Urantians from certain drudgeries can
also enslave and absorb far too much time.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

forefront of current situations, it, too, will require consideration, must be
addressed at some point for balance to be found. But, yes, my dear friend, I
agree that this is an opportunity to bring families together, to bring friends

“The spiritual pressure that has been applied around the world is bearing
fruit. There is reason to be hopeful. There is reason to believe that those
efforts you put forth at this time, will be disproportionately effective
compared to past efforts. All efforts always bear fruit. At times the climatic
