satisfaction to be a representative of the Teacher Corps in the Teaching
Mission.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>When we began this little
experiment many years ago, we had no idea what would come to pass or come out of
our efforts, but as the years go by we have found in many ways you have exceeded
our expectations even as sometimes you have been somewhat of a
disappointment.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The over good
overshadows the bad so that we are overall quite happy with what efforts have
wrought -- your effort s and ours.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Primarily, we see the effects in your personal development; the diligence
with which you have sought the Stillness and mortal connection with divine
sources; how you have utilized the strengths of Deity to help you heal yourself
from some of the infirmities of time and lift yourself up into the sunlight of
the spirit. </FONT></P>

worthwhile. Your growth has been truly phenomenal, in some cases more so than
others, but overall truly significant, and this is what will keep us going, what
will keep this mission alive -- far more than the futuristic plans we all share
and the current challenges we all face. It is this coming into being as young,
joyous, healthy souls, eager to stand side by side with your fellows, eager to
set forth into the challenges we face, ready and willing to be all that you can
be for the cause. The lessons you learn in this initial phase will serve you
throughout eternity. Having these kinds of foundations underneath you, you will
be able to build new worlds, cultivate new relationships, attain new ideals, and

talked about experimental life stations and how it is that you each have
experienced a semblance of experimental life stations in your own lives at
differing phases of your mortal existence.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

have finished with it and difficult to launch upon the search for another one
that will serve you in the next leg of your journey!<SPAN

them are short-lived and some of them are extensive, depending upon the nature
of you as a creature and the work you are undertaking and the circumstances of
your existence at this point in time.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

just the way it works.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>A lot of

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT size=5>I marvel at the
industry with which your housing industry operates and the enthusiasm with which
young people hasten to set themselves up in an experimental life station that is
pre-programmed for them, in which they may never find themselves, and in some
cases in which they are certainly doomed to fail, because they approach the
matter of their life experience from the perspective of its trappings rather
than its quality of living.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Evidently they feel that “quality of living” means something other than
what the spirit realm considers quality of life. Quality of life in a supernal
sense has nothing to do with square footage or number of bedrooms or amenities
or recreational facilities.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The
needs of the body are such that Mother Nature provides all the exercise you
could possibly need, simply by walking and swimming and working and
playing.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>When you arrange your
exercises and your recreation down to the nth degree, you deprive yourself of
the contact with mother earth that feeds your needs in a fundamental sense such
as you would have by putting in a garden or planting a tree, irrigating a
ditch.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>In your eagerness to become
civilized, you are sacrificing your connection to the earth. </FONT></P>

paradigms can be gotten into and out of fairly readily if you have any
imagination at all, or any ambition or sense of exploration, but for those who
opt to embrace such a lifestyle and have the ability to adapt, the adventures
then are perforce to be had in the confines and constraints of that “hologram”
and there are tremendous varieties of mental amusement that can entertain one
for a lifetime.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is the nature
of the material mind with its adaptability and creativity.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>One could literally live in the confines
of a very small area for a lifetime and not go mad, simply because of its many
hobbies and interests, and now, with technology, it is possible for you to find
a cubicle somewhere and live in it for years on end without seeing the sun.<SPAN

live this way.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The population has
seen to it that they are crammed into honeycombs and they function like ants, in
a very regimented and disciplined way, making their society run and being very
efficient and effective, but at the expense of certain freedoms.</FONT></P>

it will destroy itself, but we will not focus on that destructive angle for
there are too many young people and idealists in our midst to stimulate and
encourage and this is what I opt to do today, to stimulate and encourage the
young people who have wondrous ideas about a better tomorrow for this planet in
terms of sun power, wind power, water power; in terms of design of cities; in
terms of public transportation; in terms of growing food and making sure that
what you take into your body is good for you, wholesome, and that how you live
in proximity with others is invigorating and stimulating and wholesome also so
that your relationships are the foundation of your existence rather than
economics. </FONT></P>

primitive people that need to work out their basic natures, there are among you
who are peace lovers and altruists and there is no reason why you cannot pursue

it is help that is being offered and the initiatives need to be taken by
us.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>That was what was making it so

encourage the group concept, to have a Teacher who has a group, to cultivate
that group as a community, because that community has strength.<SPAN

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT size=5>It is when the
groups separate based on hostility or anger that the problem arises because then
there is a rift and the rift has to be mended before significant group growth
can continue.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is okay to find
yourself in overcrowded circumstances and realize that someone has to move and
so some move and some stay and growth takes place.<SPAN

growth.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It tends to resemble the

“revelation” loosely, for revelation is a big word and covers a lot of
