children, I would like to say a little bit this evening about some of the
things that Mother Spirit brought up in her last lesson through this TR in
which so many of you enjoyed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>It
did cause a bit of reflection and thinking again about some of your
suppositions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I know it
helped a lot of you to once again read parts of the Urantia book with new eyes,
just for having absorbed each other’s points of view.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>It helped you be aware of these different points of
view arising from a single text.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>Think
about your Urantia Book sitting there on the shelf or the coffee table or your
desk.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>There it is.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>It has an existential existence.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>A cosmic reality if you will, obeying
all of God’s material energy laws called natural law.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>You too have an existential existence in the very fact
of your being.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>You
definitely are, whether or not you can fully realize this or even feel it at
times.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>You are – but you are an
experiential being.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>We
like to call you and nodule of existence out here in time and space. Not only
your unique personality, but also being a focal point in a particular time and
space.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>You have a
uniqueness of experience as well.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>So,
when you pick up the Urantia book, which you are registering in your mind, is
your responses to this existential object for every one of you it is an
experiential object.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Some of your
philosophers have realized that you never touch the thing in itself. It may
help you to realize this by imagining you picking up your Urantia book and
opening it and you discover it is in some totally indecipherable language.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Different symbols even.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>So, you are suddenly aware it is,
in this instance, just ink symbols on paper. But, the moment you start to read
it in English instantaneously you are responding to it one way or another, in a
very unique way to you. <span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>This
is the reality of the book to you, as you just discovered in your exchange of
points of view.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>How
very different that response can be because each of you is not only unique, you
have unique backgrounds.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>You
come from slightly different cultures.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>Your conditioning is different because of the very
conditions in which you were raised.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>And this conditioning, at the same time, gives meaning
to what you read.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Yet, it
can also limit your responses, your response ability.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>It is almost impossible to keep this fact
of your limited objectivity if you will, your intrinsic subjectivity or should
be doing nothing else.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>Like enlightenment itself, it is not a state of mind you can carry with
you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>You are much too
directly involved in what is happening to you to think of carrying some state
of mind, some awareness no matter how subtle or how tenacious.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>To live your life you have
to let go of any such notions that would merely keep you from being fully
engaged.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%">So as to live, moment-to-moment,
especially in your very busy technological lives, it is a constant process of
forgetting yourself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>Engaging something else - someone else.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>But it is never the less true that the Urantia
Book and all it holds is an experiential reality for you.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>So,
in this case I would like to extend what Mother said about the book existing in
a very particular space and time that are not repeating itself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>It is a view that every moment in
time is unique as is every place in space.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>Especially that space right inside you. She meant this
more or less as the time and space in which the book was conveyed to you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Tonight I am pointing out the
space and time in which you read the book. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>Some
of you who have re-read the chapter on the colored races then gone back to
re-read Mother Spirit’s lesson found that they changed in the meanwhile.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>You were sharp enough to pick
this up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>A lot of your discussions
help you get over or see through your original ‘take’, and take it somewhat
anew.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>This is the nature of
human reality.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Not only all
the world around you is changing and evolving, but so are you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>So, even this existential object,
with fixed ink symbols on paper, will change slightly as you read it, over and
over again. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>We
use the classical example of two people standing in front of a painting and
because of their backgrounds see two entirely different things.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Or take two people, one of them who
knows the schematic of a computer, or piece of electronic equipment, and the
other one totally ignorant of this.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>How they are actually seeing two completely different things of one
object - one objective reality.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>The more full appreciation you get of your own
subjectivity my children, the more you can appreciate the degree that which you
can exchange and share so much.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>There is that in you which does respond, even on
a spiritual level of not only meaning and relationships, but value.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>It also points up the degree of
which communication fails.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>How
difficult it is to be what we constantly recommend, being open minded.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>We use one word to help you
get a grasp of this …<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>the word
“entertain”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>What does it mean to
entertain another point of view?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>Especially in the light of the psychological phenomena of denial.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>The very fact that you can
approach, shall we say a piece of writing, a new person, a point of view and
right from the onset be set against it, shall we say some commenter on television
expressing a very contrary point of view to your own.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>You can feel yourself arguing with the slightest
little thing he says right from the onset.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>Poking holes in his argument.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>So you can see the difficulty in truly entertaining
something new.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Something even
contrary to your own beliefs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>To be open-minded - it takes courage to do this.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>A courage of “letting go”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>It is more
self-forgetfulness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>You
really entertain, really allow yourself to follow along and believe if only
even momentarily. Believe that this is true, this is a valid way of seeing
things. You have to trust that there is that within you, that intelligence that
desires for a broader truth, that will simply emerge, all on its own.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>You forget yourself and
really entertain this foreign point of view, this contrary point of view, maybe
even this hated point of view.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>You will pop up again to yourself, only you will have changed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>You will have grown and that
growth might be towards a little insecurity about having the grasp of truth
already in your hand.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>That
growth might be a bit painful, because it brings in all kinds of uncertainty
about what you already believed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%;tab-stops:5.5in"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Again, your
intelligence – you have to accept this intelligence of yours as to what is
emerging, what you are giving a chance to emerge is a holistic, all-inclusive,
more spiritual point of view.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>It now includes this other person.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>Don’t fear this uncertainty.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Don’t fear this
transition.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Know it,
feel it deep inside yourself as a necessary thing to do, this opening of
yourself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Because my
children, there is a whole universe out there before you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>It helps to have a deep desire to
get out of parochial attitude you may simply have inherited.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>For, as we said in a recent
lesson, this is what you are raised with.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>Points of view, prejudices, meanings wrapped up in certain cultures and
conditioning, the very thing to give your life meaning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Be willing to feel
their incompleteness. There is a difference between contextual validity and
truth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%;tab-stops:5.5in"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>As
the hope clears up a lot of the difficulties that you may have experienced with
that chapter in the Urantia Book on the coming and then the dispersal of the
colored races.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>First of all
helping you see it from the point of view of the Life Carriers. What amazing,
truly amazing beings these are.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>That, with the help of the whole spiritual community, started life on
this planet then helped evolve towards the creatures of will dignity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>If you have any difficulty with
this kind of material go back and read it again.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>For as they say at the very opening, “This is the
story of the colored races from the time of their emergence to the latter ice
age, the last ice age.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Then there
are this many many hundreds of years of greater race mixing since then.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>As Mother Spirit said at
the time of the Age of Exploration, when you started to have direct contact
with races, no longer overland over the ages old trade routes between Europe
and of the Far East -Africa and India.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>All of a sudden you had direct contact.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>You all have experienced
this contact through endless first writings and now television and movies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>So, to this degree, the
statements of the life carriers, about the different cultures that revolved
among the different races is a simple historical fact.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>It accounts for how;
shortly after this initial contact the European Nations pretty much carved up
and colonized whole continents.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>All with a force of arms.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Predicated on enormously
different cultures.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>As she
said to even what is real.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>You
can only wonder how these different peoples actually saw each other.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>In some cases where they had great
artists on both sides of that cultural divide you can be astonished as how they
so totally exaggerated each other’s features.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>Then look at your United Nations today and you
wonder where all that enormous racial difference went.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>But then, inside each of
you personally, strive to be that open minded, truly independent person who values
your own common humanity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>Your transcendent humanity of any differences what so ever: sex, age, or
race.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>You get so much
more out of history if you truly entertain the points of view of
everybody.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>It is a way
of not taking offense at some of the indisputable fact<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>of history.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>This is what happened here o this planet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>And it is such a story we are
delighted your more modern civilizations have begun to see things from all
these different points of view.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>And what it must have been like on each side of that cultural
divide.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Simply why people - people
reacted the way they did.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>This is your heritage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>This
entire planet’s history is your heritage and helps you treasure all of it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Be unafraid there is no limit to
what your minds can encompass.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>There is no limit what your spirit can value and appreciate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>So entertain all of these points
of view.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>There is one for
every living person.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>Actually one for every historical person as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>This is what is being offered to
you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>But, it is up to you to
entertain this.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>It is up to you to
entertain what I am saying to you right now.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>You are giving me reality.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>So,
thank you dear children.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>Thank you for this reality you give Mother Spirit and I right within
yourselves.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>It gives
you the ability to contact us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>And, it gives us the delight of being contacted.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>This is our joy and this is our
glory.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>And, in time,
you will be able to see yourselves, and enjoy yourselves as we do. You will
even be able to see and enjoy each other as we do.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>It is a very humbling thing, this fact of each of our
uniqueness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Each of us
is a God created being.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Each of
us, in this sense is alone, but alone with Him, our Father.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>And with this we are very much
like Him, for he too is singular and alone.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>But, he has those companions of his with whom he shares
his absoluteness and his infinity.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>And we have each other in the shared knowledge
that this very uniqueness each of has, is what we all have in common.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>It is not a paradox.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>It is not a contradiction.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>It is what we see in each
other’s eyes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>The very thing that makes us unique and separate unites us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>So my children have no fear in this
regard.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Have the courage to open
yourselves.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>It is for your
own soul wealth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>Give of yourselves in self-forgetfulness.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>Trusting that you will come back to yourself a little
more full.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>Now

on the Urantia book because I know that each of us has a different perspective
because of our lives and the things we have gone through in our lives.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>And I know that when I
read the Urantia Book just as you had said I could have read something once or
twice, then read it a few more times, and then on the tenth time I’ve read
something I look at that same thing in a unique way.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>And it is really the realities that it points to, not just a
dry text but also something real.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>Unless I actually become one with the reality it is pointing to I really
don’t understand it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>I’d
like to go off on a tangent, just a little bit.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>I know a lot of people in the world are suffering
today because they have lost a loved one.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>The Urantia Book of course speaks about the
Mansion Worlds, which is such a great thing for all of us to look forward
to.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>We know when we
die we are going to end up on one of the Mansion Worlds.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>My
question is - I know there are some people that have tried their best to look
at some of the details in the Urantia Book.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>They have made a decent effort about where they
think some the architectural spheres are but I don’t personally think they
have. .<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>They have made a
good try, but I don’t think it is as accurate as it could be.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I’m just wondering if people of
the world really knew where the Mansion Worlds were?<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>If they could locate them in space.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Would that make any
difference about they feel about the death process?<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>Would that enhance their faith or would that
make any difference at all?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I personally think it would, but it<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>would have to be where we would have to
actually know where they are and then have the ability to somehow find them in
space.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I was just wondering
if you talk about that and as far as the death process.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>How can we overcome the grief
that not only ourselves, but that others have that we can share the knowledge
we have so we can make them feel a little better about that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"> <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"><b>Michael:</b><span style="font-weight:normal"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>Yes my son, I understand your question.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>Personally I don’t think it would help to try to
fix these “in space”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>Because, as you were asking the question I once again realized how much
of the Urantia book is not empirical.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>It is not demonstrable, but 99 % of the book - some of
it can…as a matter of fact there are a number of individuals who are busily
engaged right now in proving empirically some of the statements of the Urantia
Book along the lines of cosmology.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>Even some of the history shall we say - of the location of the Garden of
Eden and so forth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>In terms
of the Mansion worlds and what happens after you die.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>None
of this is empirical.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>None
of this can be proven.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>The Urantia Book, in its appeal, is mainly to your spirit; your overall
sense of value.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>This is why,
as Mother Spirit said, the book was deliberately designed to include so much of
what you call separate disciplines of human understanding and endeavors, to be
self-validating.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>To give you
a feeling that the personal being, God who created all of this, also created
death.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>He also created real
separation as part of life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>As in those statements that loving couples who go onto Mansion Worlds
and stay together for a while.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>Still there will come times on in the future in which you will be
required to separate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>This
is not to diminish in any way the reality of the suffering to suddenly feel
that half of you is gone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>It
points up that very ability to share your life with someone and feel half of
you is this other person as you<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>say - hostages to fortune.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>Your loved ones - your children. So it is a
matter of faith, understanding and trust in a totality of the revelation that I
don’t think it would help to pin it down anywhere.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>They are not visible.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>There is no way of proving those
statements are true or not anymore than like I say 90% of the rest of the
book.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>It is just
within yourself, your trust in God and the design of life and death, that there
is this necessity for separation.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>It is not some whimsical thing or

help you to some degree handling the genuine grief.<span style="mso-spacerun:

yes"> </span>I think I got a different perspective on
it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I have a few
things also – just as you were speaking about.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>There is no way that you really can prove – except
through faith, that you<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>- it
starts with faith then.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>I’ve been developing a stronger relationship with my own piece of the
Infinite Father which has grown stronger over the last couple years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I know that is where my faith is
increasing so I don’t have any doubts about when I die I ‘m going to the
Mansion Worlds anymore.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>So,
I suppose that is where a person’s direction needs to go rather than go to the
words in a book.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I
realize the words in a book are static and the reality of the Father is
dynamic.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>And his truth is dynamic
as it comes through us just as your spirit of truth is dynamic.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>It is not static.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>So it is not like words on
a page in a book that just staring at you and not doing anything until you<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>as you were talking about, live through
it and experience what you are reading.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>But, really appreciate it because I think I gained a
different perspective on it.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"> <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"><b>Michael:</b><span style="font-weight:normal"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes">

</span>The tenth time you read those words they were different.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>That static existential
reality of the book is a bit beyond you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>Every time you read it, especially with real heart, real longing to
understand it does change, because you have changed.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>So, that is a bit paradoxical there how that book has
both an existential existence, yet for you it is experiential reality.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"> <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"><b>Q #1</b><span style="font-weight:

</span>I appreciate the few minutes to have a talk with you and I’m definitely
going to think about what you told me tonight.<span style="mso-spacerun:

</span>For us we cannot gain say, or in anyway diminish the requirement for
faith.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>This is your
choice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>It is up to you to
cultivate and be willing to step out and do things in trust.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>There is no way we can deprive
you of that just like we hopefully are good parents in a sense.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Just as you are when you let your
own children step-out and stumble and fall from time to time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>One thing this discussion about the
Urantia Book has brought up is the degree to which we let you be.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>We even let the authors of the
book be.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Trusting that it is
not in this particular time and space.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>Parts of the book may not be readily assimilable for a
while yet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>There are parts of the
book, which have more or less generally disregarded and passed over.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>But, this is why it is a revelation, an
epochal revelation designed to inaugurate a new epoch of understanding.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>So, that existential object
(laughter), that collection of writing will continue to change in the
experience of the people of the future.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>That is the strange nature of human reality.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>So, thank you my son for your questions
and be in my peace.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Were there any
more comments or questions this evening?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>I
know there is a marvelous stillness we have generated here<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>- it might seem on your part a shame to
disturb it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>But, even in a
greater sense my children, nothing does disturb it.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>Then let me bid you all a good evening.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>It has been a time of
Thanksgiving and once again let me thank our Father for all of us, both in your
stead and for me, Thank him for all of you.<span style="mso-spacerun:

part of your conscious lives.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>Give of yourself for both of us.<span style="mso-spacerun:

open minded as you can.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">

integral part.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Yes, my
children, you are constantly encountering yourself and everything you
perceive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Yet, there is a
way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>There is an orientation

Father’. Thank you for this very necessity, for me to be a part – a creative
