style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Good afternoon, my lovely friends.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I am Trieste, Gerdean’s personal
teacher.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This personal level
of contact is in some ways different from the Teachers or the midwayers or the
potentates; we do not normally make public appearances, as it were, or indulge
in public speaking. We are truly personal. I am certain you are familiar with
your own personal teacher or teachers as you perceive them.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>That meaning, by some manner of
methodology, you will be able to work with your personal teachers if you are
even half-way willing to live the life laid out before you. The problem is that
people do not live the life laid out before them all the time. In fact, much of
the time they resist the cues, even recoiling or rebelling against the guidance
given for one reason or another.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It
is fortunate for those who have the opportunity to heed their inner voices that
help them in their personal development to an extent greater than those who
don’t or won’t.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It puts a bit of a
burden on you, however, but I don’t remember anyone ever saying responsibility
was easy.<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>Yes, I hear you.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Jesus spoke about “the burden is light,
the yoke is easy,” and that is certainly true if you trust and obey completely,
which hardly anyone does. Rather, there is a sense that responsibility is
burdensome, a hardship, a sentence to be condemned to drudgery and sobriety, as
if those have no joy. Well, it is remarkable how your human minds function. I am
rather close to the mind of my charge here, as I know your teachers are close to
you – and again that depends upon how open you are to their guidance. I wanted
to greet you today and be encouraging in the understanding that you are being
assisted by divinity to be all that you can be and to raise your sights to what
that might be. That way, we keep adventure in the process. We have anticipation
and hope and triumph and bliss and all the wonderful feelings that we have
earned by rising up out of the darkness into the light. I will turn the
microphone over to your Teacher who will greet you next.</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">MERIUM:</B><SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Hello, my darlings.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is your teacher Merium, back for
another tea party. You know how I love a party. It feels as though we need one
here this afternoon. There have been some very serious discussions among you. I
am in the Teacher Corps. That is to say, it is my task to teach you.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>What I am to teach you depends upon you
yourself. But it will always relate to the growth of your soul. Our task is to
enhance you by the cultivation of your own soul. At some point the soul becomes
competent to function by itself; it grows of its own accord. It no longer needs
your animal training and heavy lifting. It delights in learning. It reaches out
and up and in and around for ways to serve, for things to do, that enlarge the
Supreme, experiences that could add value to this expansion of God
experience.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>There have been questions brought
to Gerdean’s attention. One from a fellow who wants to know about the future for
his homeland, Venezuela; one from a friend of midwayer Jack who would ask him if
he’d put in a good word for her at the job interview she anticipates; and
thirdly, there was, some time back, a question submitted regarding the sons and
daughters of Adam and Eve that were taken, back when they were relocating from
the original Garden to the second Garden … follow-up questions. These are not
questions that fall under our job description. Many times it would seem the
teachers entertain curiosity questions because the students are eager to know
and the Teachers are willing and eager to commingle with their students.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Many times questions are readily
justified as appropriate because, no matter how you look at it, you can always
weave a value lesson into a discussion. And such discussions as we sometimes
engage in, while having no lasting value in themselves, do provide a platform
upon which value lessons can be displayed, woven into the very fabric of the
communication exchange, and so real value can be conveyed.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>It is always more effective when
people who ask questions of the teachers are there in person, even though many
hundreds of questions, thousands of questions, have been addressed by teachers
from long-distance students via telephone, e-mail, long-hand or whatever. And it
is not often a Teacher will deny access from a student who seeks them out to
respond to their perceived needs. It is often a judgment call. Sometimes it was
a good idea, sometimes it wasn’t. Sometimes these soirees into medicine, social
mores, politics, and so forth are real diversions which, while construed by you
to be important and revelatory, are to me mere commentary, and so I feel my
commentary is taken for gospel when that is not the case; it is simply an
opinion from someone who is only slightly ahead of you on the ladder to
Paradise.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We are not gods, we
teachers. We have assignments; we have tasks, virtual job descriptions, and
certain latitude and definite restrictions. But there is no requirement that we
answer every question you set forth. And I say these words in response to the
queries received.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>The Venezuelan situation is
something that would perhaps be best discussed with the members of the seraphic
planetary government overseeing the angels of nations; they would be more
qualified.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The situation regarding
a midwayer putting in a good word is also something that is outside my purview,
but I have confidence that if it is His will, then operations are in effect; it
might even include a local midwayer, but it is already on record, as is the
conversation regarding the sons and daughters of Adam and Eve that returned to
Jerusem after Adam and Eve defaulted. </P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>The conversation was mainly
regarding the logistics and the reasoning behind these offspring being removed,
leaving others.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>That was addressed.
Any further questions should be referred to the text. It tells all we’re going
to learn until we access the records and I am not given a key to the library. I
am, however, versed in the heartbreak of the situation and the “fall from grace”
Adam and Eve experienced. Being a human is not so bad if you start out as a
human, but being demoted to human is quite a sore spot. It’s the hard way to
learn the lesson that it doesn’t get any worse than that.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It was time for the planet to have a
Material Son and Daughter, and they were dealt with uniquely because of the
unique circumstances of Urantia. We can speculate all day as to why and when
these offspring were removed, but that’s the purview of a different office. </P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>As a teacher to your soul, I
would only beg you to consult with the Spirit of Trust, that in you which will
learn to appreciate what great stores of trust exist in the universe for you to
draw upon. How unfortunate for you to have experienced betrayals, abandonment,
and deficiency such as you have inherited. On the other hand, I urge you to
think about that from the other side of the coin and think about the question
that is going around today in psychic circles, if you were given the opportunity
to stay on the planet and help the Magisterial Son or the return of Adam and
Eve, Machiventa, even Jesus, and perhaps the material sons and daughters of Adam
and Eve … would you?</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>That will suffice, unless you
have a question.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Do you have any
questions? Ask such that the machine can pick up your voice.</P>

in fact, a lengthy time-frame in which people seldom give it any thought
whatsoever.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Youth are virtually
immortal in their innocence; they don’t think about when they are old; they are
too busy being young. They have no frame of reference.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Well, some do; they have elderly parents
or grandparents; some have siblings that need hospital care or personal
attention. I cannot say people don’t know; they do, but they don’t want to focus
on it if they don’t have to, and who can blame them? But there are times in a
person’s life, ordinarily, when one begins to question what happens?</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>There is an entire culture built
around such curiosity. I would say “morbid curiosity” but it is not always
morbid.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You would think so,
considering it is about death and we are all so busy living. But dying is a part
of life.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is the first death
for you, coming up. There is another, so to speak, ahead. Even more than one,
but this is your virgin experience. Each one is special; it is not that each
death is orchestrated or planned in advance but that when circumstances conspire
to remove you, there is a host of helpers on hand to assist the transition. You
can trust that.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>No one is missed. No one is
misplaced. No one is overlooked. No one is put on hold. No one gets lost.
Biblically speaking, you will remember that God knows the number of hairs on
your head; Mother Spirit is aware of each of her children and calls them by
name. They are as God in their overcare of their creations and there are no
finer parents, Eternal Parents.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>You might sleep and you might not
sleep. It doesn’t matter. You won’t know because if you were to sleep, even if
it were 100,000 years before the next great resurrection, it would seem as if
you just closed your eyes. Such is the nature of that deep sleep … the sleep of
death. Your angst comes from approaching it and there is nothing you can do
about that, really, nothing, except bank on your faith if you can (many don’t
have faith) and many forget about faith in their panic and dread of the moment
or the pain or the drugs.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>“Anxiety must be abandoned. The
disappointments hardest to bear are those which never come.”* “Anxiety must be
abandoned.” Even so, as long as you live, as long as you are plugged in to the
human condition, as long as you are influenced by the electro-chemical aspects
of physical reality, your first adjutant, the mind-spirit of intuition, is going
to be working to keep you alive. Its business is to see to your survival. And so
to the extent you perceive your humanness as who you are, you will fight the
Force that would embrace you in spirit. </P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>This is the time in your life
best suited to becoming a holy man or a holy woman. This is the best time for
you to let your cultivated soul out. This is courageous, but it is also
reinforcing. Believe in yourself. If you believe in yourself, in conjunction
with infinity, eternity, deity, all-that-is, you will know that you cannot be
snuffed out. You cannot cease to exist. You cannot be harmed. Your future is
assured.</P>

now?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>In combination with Trieste’s
comment initially, because she was talking about, you know, your personal
teacher and some people resisted that and I so very much want to work with my
personal teachers and sometimes I don’t know if I am resisting them or not, so
with this being the right time and believing in ourselves, is that the best way
to open ourselves up to our personal teachers and make the most progress along
with them? Because sometimes I might not know if I was resisting or working

style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You ask a very good question.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Part of the problem is, because you are
creatures of habit, it is instinctual for you to develop something that works
and retain it until it becomes a part of your <I
style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">modus operandi</I>.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You don’t even thing; you just do. This
is the creature of habit that walks all over the delicate flowers of truth
beauty and goodness that are there in your face to fee, see, smell and enjoy. It
comes from having an agenda, a mortal agenda, mostly. But it also has to do with
those who believe in themselves, supra.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>To believe in yourself is no excuse to be arrogant, presumptuous, cocky
or any of that. But to believe in oneself, one must know what about oneself is
supernal, eternal, or divine as what is worthy of believing in or adoring, much
less worshipping. People don’t take time to think. They don’t ponder the
possibilities and weigh that fairly with the potential problems. They may do
that in terms of insurance forms and the like, but not when it comes to the
soul. And so many of you – so many of you – who can reach a point of weighing
your choices -- psychically, cosmically -- choose to not make a choice but say,
“Well, let’s see.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Well let’s see
what happens.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It can’t get that
bad, can it?” “If it gets bad, I know the way out; I know the way back,” but

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>How many times do people go out
on yet another lark, never learning anything? Just like the humming bird,
flitting from flower to flower, sucking up the nectar of life, without having to
make a choice; they rely on their instincts. No, they don’t have to make a
choice. They rely on their instincts and they do well. They know when to go
south and when to go north. Humans don’t always know that. Their mind gets in
the way of their instincts, pro and con, and so much of their life then is lived
defensively or offensively, depending on your experiences and, of course, there
will be a mix of them both so that for the most part, humanity does not know if
it is coming or going.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And it is so

Even after you’ve got it, it is so easy to say, “Oh! Whew! I got it!” and then
never do it again. The thing is to do it consistently. Even when it’s old hat,
because it keeps the tube open; it keeps the gears oiled; it keeps the muscles
flexing uphill with just enough required of you to tone you up without wearing
you out. There is a perfect pattern. There is also what you would call
predestination, such that the pattern is there and can be discerned. Over time,
gradually, you can become pretty good at it. And, as was suggested earlier, at
this point in life, in retirement that is, you are in a position to become the
elders.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Not the old people, <I

detriments. Let me not influence your thinking there. That is not what I am here

you are up-stepped -- categorically, vibrationally, up-stepped. You will get new

that which has no value in your life any more. It is like walking out of one
room and into another. You are still in the same house but you don’t need to be
in that room anymore, you are entering into a new environment, and in this new

intimacy of our tea party and the energy that we enjoy in the synergy of us all
together, we understand we are addressing the positive. I pointed out the fact
that there are groups that get together for less than positive reasons but I am
speaking to the solution here, not the problem. Just wanted to point out that
the problem did exist and how did that affect you or us. It does because we need
to know who it is that decides the way that group will go. Who is their leader?
What is their motive? And here is where it gets interesting because you are in a
position to ascertain who to follow and who not to believe in by your
perception. That’s all you have to go on. Really. </P>

identify the presence of God in others. What attracts you to each other, you
here today? You are attracted to something within, that which is enduring, that
which is eternal, the heart of you, the soul of you. The God Fragments are happy
to see you come together for they are able to enjoy this plateau of communion
and commonality without stress, without striving, without anxiety. It
strengthens your perception of what the divine is, what’s comfortable for your
spirit. By this experience you will be able to compare and discern how it is
when you encounter others. Does it give you peace? Does it make you feel safe?
Does it help you feel joy? Will it keep you sober? Will it extend the gospel? Or
will it make big money? Will it be a hit?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Those are motivations that appeal
to man: promoters, marketing agents, proselytes; and they too have a pattern, a
very powerful pattern. Most people abide by that pattern. It dominates. Realism
rules. But here again, meditation will help you step outside that lure so that
you can begin to feel life without all that baggage, all that clings to you,
hangs on you, weighs you down, bolsters your courage, assures your safety, and
here we go again, spending all our valuable time on the<SPAN

spiritual. Not to s ay both worlds aren’t important; as long as you live, both
worlds are important. But there shall be mind over matter and spirit over mind,
and keeping those in order is essential.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>So as to the topic of approaching
death, you have to deal with the material so that the mind can function, which
lifts you into the spiritual and from there you will be able to endure and even
enjoy the future as it unfolds, knowing that you will be okay.</P>

feel that they have to spend money somehow and so they donate to sundry causes
which might or might not be helpful. That is another reaction that needs to be
reviewed; there are very skilled marketing agents in the world. I am not saying
they are Caligastian, but it is something I would pay attention to. You need to
establish that positive pattern that puts God up there and out there in
