our way around, much like when someone comes to your town you can tell them were
to go in terms of good lodging or good restaurants or ‘must see’ cultural
events. We are in a position to answer questions, up to a point, and in exchange
we are able to inquire about them -- where they come from, what they are doing
here, where they are going -- and so our understanding of the universe expands
through that exposure but, like you, we are not permitted to travel around;
we’re stationed here, as it were, and we’ll do our stint happily, and so much
more happily now that we have this bridge built that enables us to reach out and
touch one another in the realm of morontia communications. </P>

</SPAN>This is Frank.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You don’t
have to extend the invitation to me twice for me to seize this opportunity to
address my human counterparts, my celestial brethren and sistren who wish that
they had the opportunity that I have had to communicate and I consider this a
privilege and never shun my responsibilities. For those who are new, I am a
personal teacher of this my human subject, a very complex individual who means
well, and has a heart.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Tonight I wish to speak you about
progress … progress of your civilization, progress as a planet. Those of you who
have read The Urantia Book know for sure what your ultimate destiny will be. You
have been introduced to the idea of a planet reaching certain stages of life and
life; however, you can see many are eons away from that reality. At this time,
then, you as a human being can work towards experiencing light and life within
your own consciousness, within your domain of activity. You can progress to the
point where you eradicate fear, envy, jealousy, the need for revenge, all those
negative traits; you can replace them with loving thoughts and action, toward
those who may have offended you.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It
might seem unfair that you should give up the right to get even, the right for
you to even the score, but you are in fact retarding your progress when you
engage in such pursuits. </P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>It is only you who can elevate
yourself to a place the point where these trivialities of life do not impact
heavily on your mood.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You transcend
the moment, so to speak. If you continue to transcend the moment, you eventually
will transcend the reality that you find yourself in. It is by this technique,
that the Master, when sojourning on your planet, arrived at such a state of
light and life, so did the life of Enoch and Elijah. </P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>It is interesting that throughout
all of human history, so few individuals have attained such a high state of
consciousness, a high state of selflessness, but it is not beyond your grasp. It
is only difficult to attain because your hands are filled simply by holding on
to <I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">things</I> that have no spiritual
fulcrum. Those things will not propel you to the next level of existence. It is
time now to replace the things you hold on dearly to, replace them with new and
higher meanings. A practical approach is to engage yourselves daily in wanting,
wishing, longing to do good to everyone you see, longing and wishing to help all
those around you. It is by doing this that eventually you will do such things as
second nature. You will do such things with the expectation of no reward. </P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>If you might be presumptuous,
consider yourselves acting in God’s care to assist someone who has been praying
for years for something, but it is you, through the divine entity within you
that spans the entire universe. It is through that entity that Father of all
will direct, give you direction, that you the human being will execute His will
in that person’s life. It is you who will reach out physically and interact for
the divine personality, for the divine will <I
style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">will </I>be enacted through your actions.
This is not difficult, my friend, to attempt because the reward and the benefits
is growth, progress. It is so difficult sometimes that so many of you spend so
much time on what is called mere trifles of life. </P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>It is your thoughts, actions, lay
down the departed into the morontia existence; put coins in the piggy bank:
loving service, even thoughts of people, even those who might have offended you,
so you might shake off the shackles of human nature, so free your hands so that
you might hold on to this new existence. That is the progress we endeavor for
you to attain and when it happens to the individual you are touching, it sets
off a chain reaction and the human psyche comes to the fore.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is through that portal, it is through
those actions, that the spiritual progress of the civilization you now find
yourself in, will be enacted. Those collective agents are also doing their part
to awaken individuals from the long slumber.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Evil doing, evil thinking,
tradition that you find yourself in as a culture, even though the threat of war
hangs over your planet. The selfishness of people has escalated with a degree of
selfishness of whole nations of people, whole races of people.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>People find security in the sword,
people find security in arms, but those things are just temporary appeasement,
so the progress I implore you to experience is to take action, take action of
your own lives to influence and control your own mood; replace those bad
feelings with thoughts of good wishes, thoughts of doing good, remembering
things you have done that were good, remembering good things that were done to
you. Use reverse psychology on your own self to lift yourself out of that state
and in due course the ripple effect will go throughout the entire human race.
</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>It is not difficult. It is a
simple approach. Experiment with it. Try it a few times. Try it with those you
might resent the most. You might not have the courage to say something to them
out loud but you might just try to replace that feeling of resentment for a
feeling of hoping that one day you and that person can exchange pleasantries and
be friends. You might just maintain a smile when you are in the person’s
presence. You might just do that to change the mood, but we are not asking you
to do anything outside the realm or range of human achievement.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>I take my leave of you now. My
subject is quite tired, but I am glad for this experience this evening.<SPAN

endeavors and remember you are indeed on the cutting edge of information as it
pertains to what happens on the other side of the curtain. Good night.</P>

George. Jack’s back, enjoying the ambient atmosphere of a personal teacher such
as Frank who is so capable of giving group lessons as well as personal lessons.
This is the thing that happens when you practice Stillness and get to know your
personal teachers – you find they are able to hold forth with the best of them,
for not one of them is without the credentials necessary to uplift humanity one

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>I’m not feeling any particular

</SPAN>Perhaps what we might do then is engage with you, the listener,
somewhat.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>If you want to engage
with us, which I wish you would, press star six on your hand-held device and

style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Yes, I have a question. I have a
historical question. I have heard, or at least I have read in transcription
Monjoronson speak approvingly of Joseph Smith, father of Mormonism, but I’ve
also heard a number of historians on this side of the veil who have called him a
complete charlatan.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Is someone
there who is witness to--?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I’m sure
there are many here this evening who are eye-witness to that situation.<SPAN

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><B

style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I will handle that, although I am not
sure I will be able to satisfy your need. I was here.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>That is to say I live here, but I did
not take any specific interest in Joseph Smith.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Of course, we all observe what anyone is
doing that has repercussions, and a lot of people throughout history have
behaved in ways that have repercussions, Joseph Smith being one of them, but in
terms of history, you will appreciate that a person’s actions at the time may
not be as great as they are in retrospect, and, in fact, humans tend to write
their own history and/or the history of their movement or their nation after the
fact and in glowing terms.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>The fact is, there was a lot of
chicanery going on in the early movement of Seventh Day Adventists and Latter
Day Saints.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Their history is rife
with a number of things, persecution being high on the list, and sexual
deviations being low on the list, but even though those were a part of their
history – and many other things – they have emerged as a mighty … I want to say
“nation” because they are very clannish and loyal to that clan above and beyond
the loyalty to their religious leaders which is as enthusiastic as you are about
Abraham Lincoln and George Washington.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>And so there is a little bit of both, as you can imagine.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Joseph Smith was no saint, nor
was he a total fraud.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There are
other personalities in that religious movement … or I should say movements,
because they had their internal strife and divisiveness, as many do.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN><SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And each one of the leaders has his own
powerful contribution to make, power being the key word.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Some folks seem naturally born into
power, or know how to wield power; it is most often, if not always, at the
expense of the meek, and so when you get a religious movement comprised of meek
people who believe that the meek shall inherit the earth and that it is pleasing
in God’s eyes that you be meek, and non-demonstrative, or non-egoistic, it is
easy, then, for someone to maneuver / manipulate their way into herding people
into behaviors that are wrapped around beliefs that may or may not make sense if
seen from “outside.”</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>And so we have cults and this is
certainly a cult, it certainly began as a cult, just as Christianity began as a
cult and … what can I say? There is a wide range of anticipated behaviors
involved in any such a development. There will be some very unsavory characters
as well as some truly noble souls.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>I am not here to point fingers at which is which, for generally speaking,
the noble souls can be very unsavory and the unsavory ones can also manifest
some very noble traits, so it’s not for me to say who are the heroes and who are
the villains -- except to observe that this is what happens again and again,
over and over.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>And these cults grow and morph
over time.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>If they don’t progress,
if they don’t catapult themselves into ways that advance their people, or their
God, they will rot from the inside and die away.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So those that are emerging and thriving
can be studied to see where they might be in this cycle, whether they are just
coming into power or whether they are just leaving.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And whether you want to have anything to
do with them or not, there are many ways to go, many religious to wrap yourself
around or surround yourself with that can provide guidance, counsel, and
comfort. There is much to be gained by a cluster of fellow religionists, as you
yourself have seen in the Urantia movement.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>The people who believe that the
Urantia Papers are the fifth epochal revelation have a bond, a certain
like-mindedness, and they learn to tolerate each other’s peculiarities because
the overriding significance of their religion, their belief, propels forward
that element that chooses to retrogress or limit itself as if it had never
been.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It will fall away, while that
which has value will come forward.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Eventually, what comes forward will meet up with and eventually bond with
other cultures of value and in seeing the value of one another, there will
emerge light and life on the planet, and that’s appropriate because it’s not
like everyone has to be the same. Not everyone has the same belief, or history,
or influence, or the same concern. </P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><B
style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal">JACK:</B><SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I should say “the same God” because
everyone has the same concerns in terms of -- they want to have a safe place to
raise their children; you know, those fundamental things.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>But all good people want that, whether
they are progressive or retrogressive. Generally speaking, those are just human
concerns that you care for your young and want to make life better for them. It
is a bit more than that in creating civilization, especially a spiritually-based
civilization, but our planet has not yet seen much of that. There’s been a lot
of talk about it, but it has not yet been actualized.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>The three divisions of
government: the executive, administrative and judicial as it exists in your
government, is a good start but your leaders have a long way to go before they
are representing their people and their government as ideally as we would like
to see.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And yet it has begun. We
remember that this planet is retarded in many ways, including politically, but
it is not deficient; it is not hopeless.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>I have gotten way off track, but
then again perhaps not, for there is certainly a consideration in the current
electrified environment of your political system. You have a black man and a
Mormon running to be the leader of your country and no matter which wins there
is no doubt that his people will be not only affected by his being in office but
he will affect the nation because of who he is, that being, one of them. You
cannot have Mitt Romney as a President without having the Mormon faction as a
major consideration, any more than you can have Barack Obama as a black
President, without having the black race a serious consideration.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And both have something to say for
themselves and both have certain needs that could be addressed. </P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Look at history in general,
overall.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It’s been a good time to
have a black President. It might be a good time to have a Mormon President.<SPAN

thick of it.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I spend a great deal
of my time in the war zone, or in the rooms where peace talks are being held. I
will be spending some time in Washington DC in the next few weeks. There is
great conflict and tremendous rebellion going on. There is rebellion that occurs
invariably in competition. It’s like people get fired up with competitive nature
and forget what they are about. They become irascible and emotional and
illogical. They just become belligerent and hostile for no reason. Because the
political edge is so great, they become threatened and vicious.<SPAN

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>It’s not work cut out for
everyone, but it is an important task. It helps when they actually want to
cooperate and make peace, when they want to get along, when they want to follow
common sense and good will, but on a planet this backward, it’s hard to find
that … except in the personal lives of the millions of people who are good
people who just want to get along. There are fortunately more of them than there
are of those who want to take over or push their way around, either push their
way up or push others down.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Those
are the ones who are, you could say, “rebelling” -- rebelling against potential,
against the status quo, against boredom perhaps, but they require a lot of work.
The thought adjusters have little opportunity to function without some kind of
stimuli, some impetus, some fulcrum. And I try to provide that. I’m very
grateful for the angelic corps that help me and my kind in these situations of
constant conflict where it is so hard to find the peace that passes all
understanding and almost impossible to express it socially.</P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>There is of course a lot of
posturing and pretending to be civilized, but underneath is this tremendous
antagonism, all this falls under Rebellion because it goes against the grain of
love, of order, of clarity and fidelity. It’s a way of life that is
antagonistic, antithetical to the spirit. Not everyone has the gumption to work
in such a realm. It’s very difficult, and so those who do work in that kind of
environment need to be nurtured lest they become swallowed up or burned out or
rendered ineffectual. Those are the ones at risk. Those are the ones who could
use some prayer energy.</P>

is only where it is most obvious.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Your town has a city hall. Your state has a capital building. You have
your own politicians and political offices and public servants. They take a lot
of flak from the imperfections of a material government. Some bear higher-ups
who may not be on the level. There’s a lot of undercurrent that goes on, seen by
some as downright deception and yet there are people conflicted by what they
must do in order to survive, to provide for their family. </P>
