T/R: Heavenly Parents, we feel joy for this group coming together
spontaneously, and with open hearts and minds we sit before you to
pick up that which we may receive. I open myself to the circuits that
make communications with our celestial family possible.

Richard: We would ask that our teachers-whoever would come before
us-come presently to join us this afternoon. We wait with joy in
silence.

LEGION: Thank you for your kind invitation. I am Legion and I am one
of you. I am one of you, because divine reality prescribes that we
all are infinitely connected with one another.

Richard: We welcome you, Legion, it has been a little while since we
have heard your voice.

LEGION: Thank you, and I have been around. As you have pointed out
among yourselves, it is up to each of you to open your channels. We,
who dwell in a dimension that is without the fetters of the material,
are there for you to contact. So, please do as much or as little as
you need to.

We have been patiently waiting for a long time for these Teaching
Mission groups to find one step at a time the potentials of these,
for you, still astounding interactions. You have been asked to
understand that the communication between the human and the divine
can be likened to a highway that is enormously wide, filled with
growth-producing events and opportunities. And such a vast highway
can be visualized as the will of our Heavenly Father for each and
all. His will can be better understood as a highway that is of sheer
unlimited width. Each one of us can journey on this one-and-only
highway of love. While some of us will be compelled through lack of
correct instructions or through choosing to remain in ignorance to
make various detours, there is only one great vast highway towards
the domicile of the Universal Father of us all.

So the material mind, out of necessity and for reasons of ego
manifestation, will create and accept separations. You have been
taught, that your organizations of religion and philosophy all too
often function by upholding these separations; that those little
separating boxes get easily created and filled with dogmatic concepts
that humans allow themselves to create in the processes of their
mindal and spiritual evolution; and that all these ideas of
separations are actually nothing but an illusion. God's love is the
only reality.

If you were to combine the most superior, profound and reflective
human descriptions of love from all of your planetary literature,
from all your personal expressions of love to each other, you would
have compiled an astonishing and remarkable work of love. And yet,
you would not have come close to describing the reality of God's
all-encompassing, ever-present love.

And perpetually and permanently this infinite and utterly
indescribable love trickles down to the level of a material world,
such as yours, and encounters minds that are incapable of completely
understanding the enticing mysteries of the love of our Creator. And
when you commit to the discipline of love, you have a better
opportunity to experientially fathom and share aspects of God's love.
Discipline is most favorably applied when the individual decides on a
free-willed decision of self-training, free of being subjected to any
over-controlling rule of any enforcing kind. Such the discipline of
love, which we have said is a discipline of joy, becomes a most
desirable self-training.

God has-as your brother Richard mentioned earlier-implanted in each
and every one of you a Love-Fragment of himself, which is known
throughout your planet by many different names. This is a Divine Gift
that you can grow into recognizing and understanding more fully. It
is a "homing device" to guide you towards your Source of origin; it
is the definitive Compass; it is your Pilot who guides your mindal
ship of which you are and always will be the captain; it is also a
Changer, Adjuster, even Controller of your thought processes, and
always in accordance with God's will. But no attempt to describe this
Divine Gift can be satisfactory, because God's origin can't be fully
understood or adequately described. You may know your Divine Pilot
when you know-are conscious of-that you are a child of God.

Only when you are willing to quiet your mind sufficiently, can you
take full advantage of this Monitor of the mysteries of living, and
since each person is indwelled by such a God Fragment, these
God-presences constantly communicate with those of your others, your
fellows, your family, your friends, your neighbors. For the most part
you are still unaware of these communications, but increasingly you
sense or "know" that you are actually communicating with another on a
much more sublime, transcending and inexplicable level. These
Monitors, these Fragments of the living God, can and want to
communicate. You have all had a sense of special connectedness with
another, and you were at times utterly perplexed and unable to
explain what you where experiencing or to know the reason for being
connected.

The potential of unclouding your mind sufficiently by surrendering to
us, to the God of your present understanding, to the Creator Father,
or Creative Mother, all aspects that trouble your mind, such as:
conflicts with others, doubts about your development or your future,
fears of your experiences of many different kinds, or any other
spiritual poisons that you become aware of, such potential is yet for
you to become increasingly open to and experiment with. It does not
matter at this point to whom you entrust your faithful exchanges, as
long as you do surrender to and center on the Father's love. We
merely suggest that as soon as any material negativity occurs to you
and you become aware of, that you surrender it as soon as you
remember to do so. You are not supposed to carry the burden of
negativity in this life by yourself! God did not create your planet
and its great diversity of intelligent life, and then left you to
your own devices, as so many of yours fellows have come to believe.
No, my friends, the plan is perfect and so much bigger than any of us
can imagine. And this little conversation is part of the proof, if
you so will, that guidance is continuous and readily available just
for the asking.

Even I, who has had so many more and different experiences over so
much more time, am just beginning to understand the greatness and
perfection of the Universal Father's divine plan. You are truly
living in an orderly universe. I have been observing your planet long
enough to know that from your perspective it is most difficult to
fathom this perfection all on your own. For that reason, the Creator
has degreed that you are receiving support to enhance your
understanding of the perfection of creation. In all of your world's
literature, you have had many seekers and philosophers taking a stab
at describing their perspective of your origin and destiny. Without
additional celestial input of those divine energies, whose tasks it
is to implant additional wisdom into the animal-origin mind, you
would have certainly not come as far as you have in your
understanding of universal truth. Seek and you shall be given. Ask
and you shall receive answers. Answers will be given to your personal
level of understanding.

So, we are here to teach you as a group and add certain
understandings, but you also should know that it is now possible for
each individual to request his own teacher. There are many of us
waiting to be called to service. To us waiting is no problem at all,
as we do not live in material bodies, and thus time for us is
something that we only care to measure for the benefit of
communication with you. So we wait, and we live joyously. And we wait
until you muster sufficient faith to perhaps call out and say, 'Hey,
is there a teacher for me also? For little me? Am I worthy of
accepting this gift of being able to communicate with a much older
brother or sister? Am I deserving?' And I may tell all of you: Yes,
you are! Our Master has found great pleasure in offering these superb
relationships to you. Yes, God's love is so majestic that he desires
for all his children to communicate with him to the fullest of their
potential and ability.

Thank you for allowing me to speak these words of invitation to you.
Is there anything on your minds that you would like to share, my
friends?

Richard: Legion, I have not sought a teacher and it is not because I
did not have the confidence. (Yes.) And as far as I was thinking
that the teachers were passing the buck at times on the issue of
honoring knowledge being communicated vis-à-vis inspiration. My
question, dear Legion, there are certain areas that were seemingly
untouchable but are innocent and harmless, such the questions
concerning the mystery of love. For example, Legion, is it permitted
to ask, does love act as an action from a distance or is it
propagated as one action against another. Are you able to enlighten
us. (Thank you.) The key was on the last word, "enlighten".

LEGION: The limitations of communicating God's love in the language
of your realm are virtually impossible to overcome. Love, to you, is
the one energy that upholds the universes. As a scientist you
probably tend to suggest this love to flow in streams of energy, that
you would most likely like to be able to measure and analyze its
origin, direction and velocity, its interactions with other energy
fields, and I can only but offer the simple truth that all energies,
both known and unknown to you, are part of God's love.

Richard: Legion, I follow that point. Of course, there would be a
Source. My question, again, has to do with the propagation, the
quality of love. For example, is love on our planet propagated from
one person to the next? Or do we see it, as the saints may have
perceived it, as a universal radiance, expanding into the
illumination of one's awareness of a single source?

LEGION: My son, thank you for clarifying your desire to understand.
As far as love being communicated from one person to another: it is
still to be understood by material beings that you, yourself, never
have and never will create love on your own. Your capacity is limited
by your ability to tune in-if you will-to open yourself to the divine
love energy, absorb it within, and thus be able to love others by
giving the same love away to them. Is this helping our conversation?

Richard: It is not answering the part of the question that I was
hoping it might and that is: without human sharing and interacting
in love, they would be cut off from each other-except that we know
the source of divine love is there. Divine love is always there as a
source, but it is almost like asking the question that our friend
Oliver asked, 'Does God see through the eyes of a human or through
his own eyes?' Is the interaction with God, of our beloved Father
with us, a matter of our being and our seeing and our own knowing, or
does God have his own eyes, his own love, his own being, through
which he functions, making other contact unnecessary. [brief
silence] Is God lonelyŠ after the dissolutions of men? Is God's love
dependent upon other beings? I see a reciprocation that is very
important in the creative process. If, indeed, the Fragment of God
lives within, then God's love resides within us. There is nothing to
question or foresee, because the knowing is there. Surely the answers
are clear and simple. Is this something that you can perceive as a
teacher as well?

LEGION: All I am, all I do, I do because I can understand that the
infinite love of our First Source and Center of all beings and all
things, is propelling me to interact, as I interact at this moment. I
know I am part of God as you can know that you are part as well. And
if you propose that God can have eyes, then I may say to you quite
cheerfully, 'Yes, God sees by way of my actions, as he does see
through your actions.'

As far as your postulating that God can be lonely and so far removed
that he exists in some perceived isolation, no, my friends, his love,
his energy penetrates all of space, all of nature, and all things.
There is nothing left out.

The negativity of potential iniquity-the expression of the purpose of
sin-is the tendency of misguidance, which most frequently derives
from fear-based ignorance. God loves you so much that he has
permanently installed a Fragment of himself within each of you. Of
course he offers you to take advantage of his gift. And why would you
not do so if you knew about this reality? And if you choose not,
there is no punishment, because in the cosmic scheme of things,
sooner or later you will become conscious of your divine origin. You
also become conscious of your Homing Device that guides you
unfailingly during your far, far distant future to your origin,
towards the center of Paradise-that is, when you give permission.

Richard: Then, Legion, I take it that the brotherhood of men is not
necessary as a conduit of God's love, and that as the saints
believed, such as Saint Thomas Aquinas in his prayers, that his
direct connections with the Fragment within, and the divine Source of
Light and God's Wisdom, his love and his life were sufficient to
maintain a pure and saintly, and a perfecting and correcting life
within.

LEGION: My friends, there are no prerequisites, there are no
conditions set aside for God's love to be given. God loves each
individual equally, whether the individual is aware of his Maker's
love or not; whether an individual adheres to one religion or
another; whether this individual truly has a disposition of seeking
or not-the love of God for each is equivalent. There are no
conditions imposed by God. You make up your own conditions through
your relative willingness to garner up faith in order to seek and to
receive his ever-present love. Conditions and conditional love are
part of human growth. Your love receptivity on this first world,
which is this planet Urantia-this planet Earth-is structured in a way
that each individual, if she or he so chooses-if it is so
guided-receives a greater understanding of the perfection of God's
love and the orderliness of his universes. Whether one individual or
another does or does not choose through their own free will to allow
such a "saintly" path of reliance on God's inner Source of Light, has
absolutely no consequence on the perpetual outpouring of God's love
towards that individual.

Richard: I think I was referring to the role that each individual
plays with others in the dissipation of God's love. (Yes?) It
appears independent of the Source. There are those that choose to
love God directly and others not. This is the condition of mankind.
Ones path becomes almost "selfish", the seeking of a direct
relationship with God, while perhaps ignoring the human condition.

On the other hand, I have always felt that God's love is dissipated
through the love that one human shares with another, beginning within
a family, extending through that family to friends and coworkers, and
so forth, as one becomes enlightened. So was the invitation of Christ
in his life. The propagation of God's love, I have always understood,
was freeing the human condition. I am asking the principle question,
'Can we ignore the human condition and still attach ourselves to
God's love? Does such a controversial position set off anything
sensible in your mind, Legion?'

LEGION: Suppositions are often best answered with earned experience.
My experiences are also different because my world of origin was
greatly advanced, if I should compare my planet to yours. We did not
have a word for "saint", because from early on we were taught that
all are equal recipients of God's love, and that God does not love a
"saint" more than a sinner. If I understand your concerns today, my
brother, I would say that you might feel that one who seeks a total
and direct connection with the living God, can do so and ignore the
suffering of othersŠ

Richard: I would think just the opposite, Legion, through God's love
they would learn the tolerance of the suffering of others and
acceptance of others.

LEGION: Exactly. Then I would ask you, why you seem to have a
concern that God-consciousness detracts from love and compassion for
your brothers and sisters?

Richard: Because of the nature of the propagation of love. If we
human beings do not understand the relevance of the importance of
brotherhood-and only sometimes we meet that goal-the search for
enlightenment places us apart. I believe that God's love works for
humans.

LEGION: The path, that you are describing, is a path that is taught
in certain religious environments. I want to say to you that any
individual, who desires to grow willingly by his free will into a
more direct contact with God-not through the teachings of another;
not through a dogmatic teaching of one kind or another-that such
individual will enjoy an immediately and improved relationship with
his brothers and sisters, and thus is co-creating the brotherhood of
man.

Richard: This makes perfect sense to me, because Saint Tomas
Aquinas, and other thinkers, who dedicated themselves so completely
to seek the will of God, were also compassionate in their
relationship with men. But they report that the experience that was
most gratifying to them was in their service to others, and through
prayer and worship they could most clearly experience God's love. I
thank you for your inspiring lesson.

German: Yes, I would like to say that the last phrases from Legion
were really masterful. Thank you, Legion, it was very clear to me.

LEGION: And I thank you, my brothers and my sister. Is there
anything else that you would like to communicate?

Richard: Simply at what temperature does a popcorn pop? [sniggering]

LEGION [laughing]: My friend, I would have to do some research for
each popcorn.

Richard [cracking up]: Thank you Legion, you've been through thatŠ
We thank you, Legion, this has been a wonderful session and an
inspiring discussion.

LEGION: I would like to say to our beautiful guest, Marianna. Thank
you for being unafraid to come, and I may extend an open-hearted
welcome to you to come again and again. Thank you.

Marianna: Thank you.

German: Could Alana give us some nice words as she usually does? I
have a certainŠ (Yes?) desire. [brief pause]

ALANA: This is AlanaŠ and I am most pleased that you are desiring
me, my friend. [laughter] I am most pleased to hear your gracious
voice expressing your desire, yes?

I have been hovering around you blowing my love into your backs, into
your sides, into every hole and crevice in your bodies, and I am
delighted that my good friend, Legion, got a little workout with our
scientific mind. It is so lovely to observe you together yearning to
understand more of what God's perfect love is for you. It warms my
heart to see you investigating the energy of love.

May you be refreshed by a little extra love today, and go out and
communicate your love to your loved ones, your neighbors, and even to
those who make trouble for you. Maybe the experience of this little
extra warm and soothing love with which we are able to gift you, can
generate many, many new waves of positivity in your lives and your
interactions with others. If you open yourselves to our love, which,
of course, is God's love, our love can flow more freely towards you.
And that in turn, my friends, gives us more joy. Do you understand?

Do you understand that, as you open yourself to our love, you create
more joy for us? So, I leave you to ponder our interactive,
co-creative relationship, and to take this experience into your days
to come, and remember our connection a little better. Thank you.
[pause]

T/R: That was a nice placeŠ a real nice placeŠ Alana took me to a
place of real white light in total oneness without a thought of
anything elseŠ
