Lantarnek: I am one Melchizadek, I am Lantarnek. I have accepted assignment
upon this planet with the purpose of instilling morontia methods of
progress. It is my desire to foster your pre-morontia unfoldment by
overlaying patterns that are used in the training you will undergo
subsequent to this human life. Primary in all attainment in personality
ascension, in soul growth, is the aquirement for the ability to love. Love
is the the primary receptor, it is the opening to greater experience, it is
the method whereby all learning take place.

You are aware of the distinction between knowlege in the mind and experience
in the soul. One learns in the mind and can do so without love. Soul
learning requires love as its partner. Coupled with love and learning is the
true test of your morontia training and that is living, living your
experience ever adjusting and refining your understanding, ever deepening
your ability to receive and express love.

This wonderful world of Michael is spectacularly beautiful. Were you able to
draw far in miles from this little orb, you would be profoundly attracted to
its vitality. Life crawls all over this rock, a cosmic ecology. You who
identify with one or more expressions of spiritual ministry are part of the
balance required to reveal the Father more fully. Existential absolute is
impossible of description. Father presense is freely revealable, but Father
is not simply one spark within one. Father turns in all directions through
each one of you my friends.

While you seek ever more deeply the divine presense, and while you
investigate further cosmic understanding of deity, remind yourself when you
feel yourself inadequate as a representative of God, that you are his unique
directional manifestation, and your neighbor is a complementary
manifestation of a slightly different character. Assembled together you are
as like a giant meadow of wildflowers.

Behold one in its' beauty, behold all in its' beauty. To you I give the
salute from my order of beings for your dedication to the outworking of the
plans for light and life upon your world. The work is great, your patience
will be required coupled with your perserverence. My friends do not wait,
work. Thankyou for allowing me into your consciousness this day. Thankyou
for reflecting upon my message. Love Michael, love his associate, Spirit
Mother. Learn from one another, live for God, live for your fellow man.
Thankyou, I take my leave.

Tomas: I am Tomas. I am one of the teachers in the notable teaching corps
that has approached you in terms of superconsciousness in order to adapt
your lifestyles in ways that will lend you to be more spiritually fragrant
to those who hunger and thirst for greater truth, beauty, and goodness. You
are the seed planters, those who come before in order to till the soil,
cultivate the land so that the seeds fall on fertile ground, and can be
fertilized and watered by those who come after, creating a great swelling of
collective consciousness that includes the divine and thus we embark upon
the march to the next plateau towards planetary light and life and towards
the ultimate goal of destiny for your superuniverse, even the overall scheme
of all that is.

We are all advancing together and it is our intent to give you an
appreciation of your place in this advancing reality. When we come to impart
to you these views that we know and that you are eager to learn to take into
yourself, there is always an outside chance that the news will befall you in
such a way as to render you imbalanced. This has been our only concern in
this project with mission of connecting you with greater consciousness and
in the overall the good has so far outweighed any possible negative effects.
We are encouraged to proceed in good faith that Gods' divine will is being
done and we are a part of it.

Welcome to this gathering, those of you who have been my comrades and
associates for many years, and those of you I am only now beginning to make
the acquaintance of. As in any relationship and any friendship, is a matter
of spending time together and those of us who have spent many hours engaged
in affectionate discourse of matters relating to the soul have grown within
ourselves individually and have grown as a body, as a living organism of
loving, laughing fellows in the greatest adventure of all time, that is
coming to know God within yourself and enjoying his will, doing it as you
pass by, as you develop yourself to be the best that you can be in terms of
this wonderul reclamation project we have embarked upon.

It is good to see you discuss the merits of unity, building community,
bridging gaps and spanning the globe for these planetary perspectives of
the brotherhood of man is indeed our ultimate goal for Urantia, even as it
continues to be our primary focus to deal with you, each one on one, to
allow your soul to come forth from its' encasement, its' conditioning, it's
programming and allow these eternal parents to provide the impetus and
inspiration for you to learn anew those values that the Father and the
Mother would have you know that have been somewhat thwarted by your
unfortunate history but we are reclaiming you from even that history and
rendering you blameless as you become again as little children trusting the
master teacher, Michael of Nebadon, our parent and brother to mold us in the
way that only a true parent can do for his children.

We rejoice in the efforts ongoing and in front of us and behind us. The
swell of divine love that has leapt into your own pores and that exudes the
divine in your expression are the fruiuts of our labors. We love you with
such an affection as you are only beginning to respond to in the way you are
learning to find that same affection between yourselves. The Father is the
source of this divine love and we give thanks to him today and everyday for
the gift of life, the gift of freewill that has given us the key to open the
many doors that he provides in our [only?] of many manions but in the many
available experiences to us here in particular on this experimental plane
of Urantia.

Blessed be art thou, children and friends. We are here in mass, all of your
great aunts and uncles and cousins surround thee, that family of celestial
beings and have been rejoicing with you in the coming together of the
factions of fraternity that will one day create the composite global family
that will welcome the living Lord in its mix, by and through your making
him available into your own heart, mind, soul, being. Amen and farewell.

Althena: Greeting to each of you, greetings to all, I am Althena. I too am a
teacher, a cosmic citizen who has volunteered to live and learn and teach
among you. As my brother Tomas has said, we truly love you with a deep and
unending love, for we have many of us volunteered for entire periods of your
history and we are able to see the astonishing importance of the coming
together this gathering represents and other gatherings such as this.

The seeds of Light and Life are in your stillness. Seek in your stillness,
open your heart to Michael and Mother Spirit, the Father, and as in your
life you begin to perceive your particular sprouting seeds. what you in your
uniqueness can allow to be born within you. Nourish this seed with your
questions for Michael, for our Father, for any of us who work to assist you.
Nourish your seed, your sprouting seed with your prayers. Attend to the
yearnings within your spirit and your heart for these yearnings are also
part of the nourishment your sprouting seeds require.

And when in your stillness you become aware of sprouting seeds that bring
you joy, stimulate you with a vision of your destiny, then ask for guidance
and strength in sharing the sprouting of your seed above the surface of your
inner life, and seek to follow this growing plant into the relationships
with your brothers and sisters, and seek to perceive the seeds, the
sproutings, investive, hybrydized, the seeds in you with the seeds in them.
In discovering your mission, in discovering your mission of the moment or
sometimes more than one mission, seek to perceive those missions of others
with whom you may be brought in contact.

Seek opportunities to hybrydize and remember that your relationships are the
core of your potential to fulfilling your missions. Do not spurt ahead in
your urge to fulfill your mission without honoring your opportunity to
assist others in the growth of their spirit seeds and simply to enjoy one
anothers friendship. In you, I repeat, are the seeds of Light and Life. I
joy in this opportunity to assist you and accompany you on this journey,
good day.

Arestion: Greetings friends of my friend, Bill Bryan. I am Arestion whom I
am a companion in the spirit. I thought since my companion, my buddy, told
you his side of the story that I would tell you mine. I will make it very
brief, but I thought it might be of interest to you who have shared this
experiment and communication that you call the teaching mission, to
understand a little bit more about this side of the perspective of human
interaction.

Bill explained to you that he was sent a companion. It was sent out of his
sense of loneliness and his aging body. He long had this quiet internal cry
with his own personal teacher [ur???}. His own teacher being female of her
origin, thought that it would be good to choose a man and made the request.
Thus I came into the picture for I was at loose ends, short of receiving an
assignment. This was my first assignment in such a manner on another planet.
It was an exciting opportunity for me. The planet I came from is many many
universes away from this one. My planet was settled in life and life, well
established in light and life. I was chosen, I think as much because, I
represented almost the polar opposite of what this planet experiences in
terms of the turmoil and dysfunction that my planet had relatively long
since overcome.

I view this as an opportunity of great learning for me, and that I would
like to emphasize for you today in this small discussion, that we as
teachers, companions, guides or whatever term you might choose to give to
our relationship, it is an opportunity for us too. It is the way of the
universe to learn not only in the role of teacher but also in the role of
student, much like a ladder you climb. You are there to help someone below
where you might have already trod but you are also there to take the hand of
those who have gone before. Well I view this as a ladder that may not be in
a hierarchical or upright manner but a horizoontal manner.

My friend Bill has taught me many things. He has shown me the courage and
the spirit of a mortal on a planet that is struggling to find itself in a
comfortable spot in the universe. He has also shown me the majesty of great
love for his companions, the people whom he comes in contact, and also his
universal love goes beyond this planet, out into the cosmos. To me it is a
very beautiful thing and that brings me to another reason why this
assignment has been such a blessing to me.

I lived on a planet that had very little diversity in terms of its'
topography and even in its' peoples. I really never had the opportunity on
my planet to fully experience the beauty of such diversity and so it has
been a revelation to me to witness the different cultures, peoples,
languages, ways of relating and so on and just the simple glory of a very
very beautiful, gorgeous planet in which to grow in the love of God. So for
me it has been a rounding out and a fulfilling and enriching experience. I
thought these few things that I could share with you would perhaps expand
your concepts of what this conference is all about. I leave with you my
final thoughts. May the peace of God abide within you. May you share this
peace wherever you go.
