their roles will be eliminated but not in this lifetime.<SPAN

appreciative of those who have the courage to take the leap of faith and allow
themselves to formulate the words and express them in faith that there is a

technology.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The development of the
Teacher Corps, the Teaching Mission, the Monjoronson Mission, all these efforts
in opening your world to ours, is a natural consequence of your enlarged and
expanded ability to communicate technologically.<SPAN

served adequately for starters but now there are so many tools and toys
available it is up-stepping our opportunities considerably, such as you

spoken word can be tedious and tiresome.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Many beginning T/R’s particularly are unaware of how critical a word can
be and thus gaps in comprehension can be had – not that any of these will stop
the process, but they will slow it down - and so those of you who suffer the
pangs of conscientious transcription are to be commended for your untiring
efforts. </FONT></P>

you, those who know there is something to be said for the power of will and in
conjunction with divine will, your will can be manifested and in terms of
healing body mind and spirit from the ills and ravages of such a life on such a
planet, many of you are tapping into sources of energy that will one day become
aspects of the medical profession whereas today it is rather black and white
science. In a short time the avenues of comfort and strength that spirit

humanity.</FONT></P>

those who provide the listening ears, the humble and eager audiences, the

counsel, the good cheer, the admonitions and the cautionary remarks that come
from your mentors on high. You are the salt of the earth; you are the ones that
will move the world forward.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The
others implement it, but you are the ones who carry it out, and we opt to pause
this evening in our presentations to offer our profound and sincere thanks to
all of you who contribute to this unfolding of spirit reality; even when you
don’t understand what’s going on, you willingly and eagerly, even blindly follow
where indeed no man has gone before.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Your adventurous spirit, your exploratory nature, your experimental

also would like to talk this evening about … well, what you might call a
progress report.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is incumbent
upon us to keep you apprised of developments, at least in general.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I know that we who are invited to the
briefings that are held every morning in our sphere to bring one another up to
date on the critical areas of action or in the alternative in those areas which
are flagging and in danger of dying out, that need stimulated, these are brought
to our attention and angels are instigated to assist in the process of evolving
your world and so we like to pass on some of our insights to you so that you are
not flying blind.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></FONT></P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT size=4>It is a fact that
the mortal mind is very short-sighted.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>This I say not to belittle you in any way but to reflect upon the short
term nature of your lives here, generally under 100 years and often much of that
is not particularly focused on what might be contributory. But without going
into the details of how time is squandered, it is my purpose to reflect with you
for a moment on how it is that time passes on the material world at a different
pace and in a different paradigm than it does in the morontia world and in the
spiritual circuits.</FONT></P>

middle age into old age. We have seen many of you translate and leave this
sphere and awaken in the resurrection halls.<SPAN

our voice is the same.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We are
unchanged.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We are as immediate as
you sit and listen today as we were 15 or 20 years ago, and so your time frame
is not the same as our time frame and you forget.<SPAN

style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You become discouraged.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You cannot see with the same perspective

encourage you because I know that many of you have become disheartened by many
of the things that you have seen and experienced.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>When you become tired, when you grow
weary, when you are over-extended, it is easy to succumb to doubt and despair.
It is easy for you to say, “Ah, all those teachers are a figment of my
imagination.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It’s all just wishful
thinking.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It’s all just another
escape from reality which is unbearable.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

wave.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We observe you ride it.<SPAN

it.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We watch you stand up on your

reflective times you will indeed be able to see how many waves you caught and
how many times you rode it -- successfully and joyfully and often -- in company
with your peers.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is not a job
you do alone, even though you are agondonters.<SPAN

scenarios and your exhaustion from the vagaries of the human existence, and when
you sense and feel that there are others also acting concert with spirit, you
cannot help but be encouraged and lifted up, you cannot help but recognize the

bad day, when you have or a bad attitude, or when your peers seem to be
particularly grumpy or downhearted, you know what it takes to put yourself back
on top of the situation: it is a simple surrender to the divine elements that
oversee not only you and your life and the lives of your friends and the
movement that you have created, but the teachers that have co-created it with
you and the supernal helpers hither and yon who exist to uplift you and bring
your forward. You will not be left bereft or without aid and comfort.<SPAN

little bonfire I am attempting to ignite under you is simply to say that while
your perspective is short and you see your friends come and go, live and die,
opportunities rise and fall, and still there is murder and mayhem, war and gore,
now a new oil spill, there another conflict, expenses, diseases and all that
stuff, it is simply part of the uphill struggle that evolving worlds
endure.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I know I need not
remind you to remember the Master and his admonitions to be of good cheer.<SPAN

know of the happy heart that indwells the believer.<SPAN

you receive when you put yourself in the hands of Christ-consciousness.

as you were before we arrived.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>There are others like you who also believe in the connection between the

when you meet each other in the flesh you recognize each other as a fellow

have failed; it means they have fulfilled a temporary purpose, but the seed that
was planted in being a part of that group remains within the individuals who
were part of that group and that seed will be planted elsewhere in another time
in another place so that another community experience can be had and known; in
this way the groups grow.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>They may
not be as formal and dynamic as the first groups were when the Teaching Mission

very difficult for those who have known this as a way of life to suddenly find
themselves isolated.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It can be very
disheartening, as if to say the entire experience was an illusion of some kind,
and why I am telling you it is not an illusion, it is part of the process.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It’s part of the anvil of experience
that forges your character because you must learn to have faith even without
others around you to reinforce your faith.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>But when others are around you that do reinforce your faith, you can make
hay while the sun shines.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You can
take advantage of that synergy and get as much accomplished as a group as
possible, knowing it will ebb and flow, and there will probably come a time when
you will walk alone again, at least for some segment of time, perhaps even just
long enough to experience a respite from the activity or a chance to take your
experience under advisement with your own God-consciousness so that you may be
prepared for the next experience ahead. </FONT></P>

his tasks as well, many of which we are not even aware of what they are, but he
is a trustworthy administrator and when he visits and calls the meeting to

perspective which is, of course, even beyond that of the Most Highs.<SPAN

we understand what each other’s tasks may be, we may be assured that we are all
about the Father’s business one way or another, whether we are conscious of it

revealed.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is thrilling for us,

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT size=4>I feel that one of
the reasons I was selected is because in my native sphere/ my home planet, I was
a cultural anthropologist and I lived in a world, a portion -- a quadrant of my
world, similar to Government on a Neighboring Planet in that it was segregated
from the rest of the planet and my quadrant was quite advanced while the rest of
the planet was quite primitive and there was a distinct demarcation between the
two.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>My job on my world was to
venture into the primitive tribes of the planet, study them, and bring back my
findings to my world and so I feel qualified to come here to a rather primitive
planet comprised of sundry tribes of people, study them, study you, and take
back my findings, which indeed is what report in my morning briefings when I am
called to do so.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>In that way we
keep everyone informed what the developments are, what the needs are, and
although I have never been confirmed in my opinion as to why I was selected, I
feel that nonetheless and no one has told me I was incorrect so I will assume I
am not too far off base.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Anyway, I
am very happy to have been chosen and I will serve here for some time in this
