style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">We could read this book, and have read the
book, but … is there new information that would help us today that has evolved
from its basic teachings?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We’d like
to know if there is something very meaningful from this book that is going on in
this world today.<o:p></o:p></I></P>

style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal">0802-AB Jack</B> here.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Good afternoon, everyone. It is
wonderful to be with you again, as always. I am particularly delighted to meet
new people. Hello, my dear, I am your cousin Jack, a secondary midwayer.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I am, to hear it said, Gerdean’s oldest
friend.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We were introduced many
years ago, 1968 by your calendar, when she and Alan, her first husband, were
introduced to the Urantia Book.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I
didn’t come in here to parlay personalities, however.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I came in because of your provocative
question.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>The Book itself says it will be
outdated in time, as humanity evolves, and the question is “At what point does
that begin to manifest? And how?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>What are some differences between then and now? 1955, the year it was
published, and today, 2013?”<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Well,
you are experiencing one of the most-- the biggest at the moment.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The Book says science will most quickly
become outdated because humans are inventing new devices all the time and along
those lines, furthermore, they were not allowed to predict what might happen in
the future so you find no reference to the stillness, the correcting time, the
teaching mission, these processes of transmitting/receiving. </P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>There are many other fields of
thought that could be considered science, thus outdated. Or other things that
are being presented to your consciousness that the Book has no knowledge of,
interest in, or relevance to that seem to you to be extremely relevant. And so
it gets interesting.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Where do the
teachers draw the line and say, “That is a brilliant interpretation of reality
but it is not true reality”?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>How
does one say such a thing without offending the hearer when they know what they
experienced, and they approve of their interpretation, indeed, [they] feel their
interpretation has been sanctioned by Mother Spirit and those who are part of
their entourage of spirit family members who know them and love them and guide
them through the vicissitudes of life.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Well, look at me, just jabbering
like one of the big guys.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I didn’t
mean to get all heady but it’s a very interesting subject.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The Urantia Book tends to steer clear
–not the book itself, but those who guide the book – tend to steer clear of
anything having to do with “occult” and so many of the things that you would ask
about will not be in the Book because occult is not what the Urantia Book is
intended to foster.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And here again,
there is that question: Where do you draw the line between the realm of spirit
reality and the realm of occult phenomenon? – between Science and
Metaphysics?</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>There is probably no hard and
firm answer to any of these hypothetical, philosophical and metaphysical
questions, but there are assumptions that can be made based on group perception.
If you have ten people and eight of them like it that way, chances are it will
stay that way.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>For “might may not
necessarily be right, but it is” and in a good system, this is a good
thing.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Democracy is one name for
it.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The common wealth is another,
even “the kingdom” – as affected as that word may seem and oh-so-difficult to
define.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So now I have not only not
answered your question, I have created a hundred more.<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>For the record, the facts are set
forth in the text. The laboratory is spread before you. and the research
materials available are practically endless. This is part of why it is called an
adventure, and it is also why it is called an eternal career, because it is not
just all fun and games, there are responsibilities, there are effects to your
causes, and so the interest is in how you direct your destiny for it will
influence that of everyone.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>And that, coincidentally, is how
the most highs rule in the kingdoms of men. They are like chefs, fine chefs in a
fine restaurant, making an exquisite soup, putting in just the right amount of
this at the right time, and just the right amount of that. And then they stir
the soup, perhaps later, tossing in another ingredient and letting it simmer,
and adding things as the day goes by, such that, at the end of the day, there is
a savory supper.<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><B
style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal">Question:</B><SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN><I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">I
want to give an example of when the Forum was submitting questions and
discussing the Papers and the Book was being written and presented and
elaborated upon in order to answer the questions, there was no one there that
had the Eastern philosophies; there is very little said about reincarnation
because nobody was interested in it.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>(That is my assumption.)<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>A
lot of detail is given to Adam and Eve and the Caligastia 100, and the Lucifer
Rebellion; these are all things that the revelators felt were very important to
bring into our consciousness. <o:p></o:p></I></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><I
style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"><o:p> </o:p></I></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><I
style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">During those times there was no real
metaphysical interest in the group. Now, a lot of people are more conscious of
their energy -- their chi energy, if you will – vibrations, and what raises our
vibration.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We want to raise our
vibration and so we are learning about how that comes about. So there are new
concepts, new ideas, that aren’t even touched upon in the Urantia Book because
of the times it was written. I think those are the things that I would
personally like to know … the wholesome truth and relevance regarding zero point
energy or that which we become conscious of, pay attention to, or …
<o:p></o:p></I></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><I
style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"><o:p> </o:p></I></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><I
style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">I want to know what things are going to help
change the world that aren’t already in the book. I want to know about
healing.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>GMOs are destroying our
food chain; we’re being poisoned; we’re full of toxins.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>That’s not addressed in the Book because
people weren’t being poisoned back then. So these are things that aren’t in the
Book that are important for today’s people, for dealing with oil spills, power
struggles to keep us dependent of fossel fuels, squashing inventions that would
make it a better planet for everyone. These are the things I have particular
interest in.<o:p></o:p></I></P>

style="mso-tab-count: 1">
</SPAN><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>They are being addressed by
the teachers. But for the most part, no, they are not discussed in the Urantia
Book, partially because it was produced in the United States, overseen by
religionists and scientists with a Christian flavor.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>They were urged to ask more intelligent
questions, yes, which did garner a greater quality tome, but they only had to
know more about that which had something to do with them and that supported
their own understandings. Given human nature and the proscriptions given to the
celestials who were helping bring it about, the end result is an excellent
quality compromise, but it falls on you to investigate and develop some of these
interests – particularly some of those which will help the planet, the life on
the planet, the future of the planet – and that gets us back into the science of
it, which is the material aspect such as agriculture, that you really must get
back to and pay attention to, with newborn eyes.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Many of the things that humanity
is engaged in today are very destructive; no question about it.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>They should be stopped; they should be
understood; they should be acted on wisely. This requires leadership and
leadership is not entirely understood in your consciousness.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There was a system set up, a government
that was filled by elected and appointed officials to do a certain job and
answer to certain persons or peoples. Unless the tasks are given, unless and
until there is a new job created that will focus on the relevance of your
concern, there will be no official investigations, particularly when the
opposition is well established and employs hundreds and thousands of people and
impacts the economy so greatly precisely because leadership is mis-aligned from
the needs of the people today as compared to when the law was established, the
committee was formed, the original principle was introduced.<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>Government itself is a large and
cumbersome machine, much like humanity. When it is stirred to act, it can be
very effective but it is slow to organize, slow to get to move in one direction
at the same time, and until it moves in the same direction, it pulls against
itself so that it doesn’t get so carried away with its largess, with its own
power, it can act fanatically, or in some fashion that directs pain and
suffering on a great many people … not just war but disease and certain social
restrictions and customs that are not in keeping with the current program of
operation, the current status quo.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

need to know as an individual who cannot possibly have an impact on huge
corporations, on governments that are basically corrupt and greedy and that
control the masses by fear and misinformation, how are we to make a difference
in the world?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>How can we, as
individuals with this revelation … I mean, we have good information about our

style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I’ll stick with it, since I’ve gone this
far.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>What can you do is what we
have been<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>talking about for 20
years and, in fact, what you have already learned how to do and are doing.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The only thing is you will want to see
it multiplied, accelerated, and this can be seen when you surround yourself with
like-minded people … peer groups who reflect back to you values you want to see.
</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>There has been a lot of emphasis
on groups, the power of groups, the importance of groups, but not much has been
done to crystallize that concept in your mind as it having great value.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Granted, the kinds of groupings may move
around, may reorganize itself from within or without, but in order to get
anything accomplished, you need to have other people who think as you do and
cultivate those people as co-workers in the work that you want to see done. In
this way, you see, you have group unity, and in group unity you have real power.
</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>So much of your time these days
is lost crying in the wilderness, for there is no one there to hear you, or they
too are feeling so apathetic due to a helpless and hopeless situation, they have
given up and so half a dozen of you sit around discussing why you gave up
instead of doing something about it, yet and still. But I tell you that six
people who have a fierce feeling toward something, a deep loyal to it, who
believe in it and give of themselves to it emotionally, psychically, and
spiritually (more so than materially or financially but those should not be set
too far aside), there are projects you can undertake that will serve as
exercises in faith as to what you can accomplish.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Do you remember in the early days
of the Teaching Mission when transcripts were being kept and passed around to
other groups, individuals who had not yet received their teacher, and this grass
roots effort resulted in well over a hundred teachers coming on-line, opening
the door then to thousands of other entities that pour through your mental
living room on a regular basis: personal teachers and guides, lesser angels and
seraphim, teachers, even entities from high up and far out places in the
