RAYSON: Good afternoon, this is Rayson. (Group welcome) My, what a
hearty group we have here today! You are stalwart fans for Christ
Michael?s work. Neither sleet nor hail nor gloom of night nor blinding
snowstorms outside, as today, keeps you from being here. Thank you and
welcome. [Ed. Note: Loveland was in the process of receiving 15 inches
of snow. Some group members were not able to make it.]

We have enjoyed this week very much, observing mortals of the Urantia
Book and the Teaching Mission communities and other communities
throughout the world that take note of these transcripts. We have
listened to the "buzz," as you say.

And as your teacher, one of my responsibilities is to insure that my
students have learned their lessons well. You know that the first
elemental necessity of your work of enlightenment is
*sincerity*?sincerity and more sincerity. We wish you to examine your
sincerity for your participation in Christ Michael?s work, whether you
believe in the Correcting Time or not. What are your interests for
Christ Michael?s world and for the healing of your planet? What is your
sincerity for participating in this new dynamic era, which has
transpired in the last fifteen years or so? What is your relationship to
Christ Michael? ?and his work?

Second, please review your *intent*, your intent for all that you do in
your life. When you write a letter, make a phone call, and have an
opinion, what is your intent? Is it concern for others or is it for
yourself? Examine your intent; be earnest about this examination. You
have so many activities in your life that we hope and ask that you
examine your intent for each activity, whether it is preparing the
lunches for your children as they go off to school, or as you read the
Urantia Book and hold opinions about others concerning it, and how you
think they should think about these subjects.

And I would offer one more?what are your *expectations*? What do you
expect from your belief, from your association, and from your efforts to
participate in the Urantia Book studies, Teaching Mission, Correcting
Time and this Second Revelation that is to come? Remember, the
Melchizedeks? statement about disappointment, disappointment,
disappointment. Will some of you "fatten" on disappointment? Or will you
remain "lean and hungry" spiritually? Keep these things in mind, please,
as these are fundamental to your work in your life.

Now, I will give you a metaphor about Christ Michael?s concern and
interests in the Correcting Time for you, individually. I wish you to
imagine a wheat field that is ripe, that is amber and golden and ready
for harvest. And this wheat field is ten miles wide and one hundred
miles long. The harvest is to begin. And the harvest is complete, where
every head of wheat?tens of millions of them?have been harvested, and
the dozens and dozens of seeds in each wheat head has been accounted
for, not one lost during the harvest. Not one grain out of billions has
been lost. This is the care to which Christ Michael is preparing the
healing of your planet, and that "one grain" is *you*. If all your world
were saved, and your life and your soul were forfeit, we would count it
as a failure. You are of great value; there is a personal, intimate
investment in you by Christ Michael. Only by your decision, will you
abandon the journey, the great journey of your infinite lifetime to
Paradise. Every effort will be given to *you*, individually.

The care and the preparation for the Correcting Time, has been long. And
yes, there are new programs that come into existence as contingencies
that are needed in a timely manner. This beginning of the Second
Revelation of Papers has been long anticipated. This point now is the
earliest at which we can initiate it in your world. And remember, we
asked you to ask questions, to prepare your questions. One question
[that] seems obvious is "What conditions presaged this arrival of the
Second Revelatory Commission?s work?" "What preparations, what
standards, what criteria have been met, that it could begin now?"

And I will tell you: Many of you recall that we have oftentimes referred
to the "hundredth monkey phenomenon of awareness." Do you recall that?
(Students: Yes.) Well, my friends, we are not dealing with monkeys now;
we are dealing with mortals?conscious mortals. Now, how are these
mortals conscious? They are conscious of participating moment-by-moment,
sincerely, intentionally, with the greater design of Spirit for their
lives, in participation with Christ Michael and the corps of celestial
teachers and other beings of light, who are here. There is now a
consciousness worldwide on your planet that is now self-sustaining. Why
do you think that "good" comes to those more easily than it did twenty
years ago? It is because you are supported in consciousness?spiritual,
moral, ethical consciousness, for right and for light in your life and
everyone else?s life. Your good is in harmony, it is in pattern, it is
complemental to that which is good [for] your planet. And there are
enough individuals on your planet now to sustain that continuously. As
the Second Revelation is designed, it would be premature to have brought
this into existence before where there was a network of enlightenment
among mortals.

Last week, Gabriel told you how to proceed. He asked you to come
together in groups to study the Papers?and yes, you [individuals]
already have questions about what is there?we would hope that you will
have questions about what is *not* there, for the Papers are not
complete, as most of you know. Some of you have already come forward
with questions, and have delivered them to our dear transcriber. We wish
that you hold these back as Gabriel?s conditions for submitting them
have not yet been fulfilled. You recall he said, [""When these
conditions are met, then the questions can begin."] Some of you may be
anxious and say, "I?m ready! Let?s ask questions?what are we waiting
for?" "Hey, I?ve had questions for years that I have been waiting to
ask. I want to ask them now!"

Now, let?s tie this back in with the network of consciousness?the
hundredth monkey phenomenon?the intent of having you come together in
groups is not *only* to study the text and to ask questions that are
reasonable, but it is for you to join in "one mind." You recall from
Gabriel?s presentation that he reiterated this consciousness of one
mind, over and over again, stated in several different ways. He knows
you are not deaf, but he wanted to impress you that this is significant,
that this is material to your lives as growing and evolving spirits and
souls on this planet.

/ /

/Your coming together and agreeing upon questions is a process of
augmenting, developing the consciousness of oneness on your planet/. You
are joined with others of the light, all over your world, whether they
are Urantians or Catholics or Episcopalians or Hindus. People of the
light join each other in consciousness. The intent of this is to help
you come to?not only agreement?but [also] peace in your agreements.
Surely we do know that you are contentious among each other,
occasionally. You vie for dominance of ideas, to present ideas first, to
say "Look at me; I know this first!" and you are easily aroused to tell
others that their position is wrong, that their beliefs do not fit. Are
these positions that the Master would take? No, surely not. He would
lead you to a higher understanding of your position. As evolving mortals
on this planet, the model that you have before you is to become "like"
and "as" the Master. He was neither a sheep nor lion, but truly, a
powerful, proactive leader. And yes, he saw the contention among his
Disciples. He saw it among the Twelve. He saw it in the temples, among
the believers there.

Your planet will never be healed by on-going conflict, divisiveness,
selfishness, and self-centered ego aggrandizement, but through the
cooperation of individuals, who compromise by developing new ways of
seeing the same issues in more constructive ways. We would be glad to
help you in your groups, work compatibly, productively, and become
voluminously compatible. There are so many ways to come to these
solutions that have already been invented and shared with you through
your mortal consultants and psychologists.

We are more interested in the *process* of development of questions than
the questions themselves. The process, the journey is more important
than the destination. As mortals, it is all about process; it is all
about how you work that process. Oftentimes the chores that you are
given, the tasks that you are given, are simply to help you through the
process. And in the end, through good process working, you will end up
with good questions. And through this?we are hoping that it will occur
throughout the world?that there will truly be new lines of energy,
cooperation, that those people who are of light, who move towards the
light?right living, ethical, moral, constructive living?are supported by
the energy around them so they succeed.

This process that was inaugurated last week is like turning the wick up,
the wick higher on a lamp to make it brighter. The forces of evil from
outside your planet have been vanquished. Now you and we must contend
with the darkness and the evil on your planet as it exists. There will
be no war to wipe it out or eliminate those people of darkness?but
simply through the process of bringing more light into your world will
your world be brought fully into the light and The Days of Light and
Life. You are the candles. You are the wicks. You are the brightness.
Through your work, you will help enlighten the world and bring it into
peace. Peace is truly an eventuality, but not an assured outcome at this
time. Small increments of growth, small increments of consciousness of
light are needed to overcome this darkness on your planet. We have given
you a program within the structure of your belief system, within your
organizations, to help this process. We hope you will engage it
constructively, positively, powerfully?and *willfully*, doing the will
of God to enlighten yourself and others around you.

Having said that, I can now step down from the podium to the same level
as you. I am delighted! I am encouraged?I am more than hopeful?by the
enthusiasm that you have shown within one week. Speaking one-to-one, I
say, "Thank you!" We have no doubts ?I have no doubts ?that there will
be many small groups throughout this nation and many nations, that will
be developing questions that are thoughtful, carefully crafted, and with
a planned and deliberate outcome that they desire. Thousands of you have
read the text of the book, and there are literately tens of thousands of
questions that can be asked that lie fertile and latent in your minds.
We ask you to come together enthusiastically, to develop questions and
develop insights on your own into the reading of this material. And
remember, your questions are not limited to the book, but to your
planet?to the planet that is to come to the Days of Light and Life,
eventually.

I am not authorized to answer questions at this time, until the
conditions that Gabriel set forth have been met. We would be?I would be
?remiss to encourage you to ask them at this time. Beginning now with
answering questions would thwart the desired outcomes. This process is
not here to encourage you to develop into a "group-thinking mindedness",
but individuals coming together.

For too long, individuals have stood alone in their beliefs, coming
together frequently?or infrequently?for fellowship. Now we wish you to
come together to engage each other to develop the important questions of
*your* life on this planet, *your* survival on this planet, and the
growth of *your* soul and *your* successful transition into the
morontial realms.

As you worked in your groups, we also wish you to identify those who are
TR?s, those in whom you have confidence ?and enlist their assistance for
this project. This will not be done through one individual, but through
many, as Gabriel has requested/announced. We wish you success, and we
have set the parameters for success. We know that it will be successful,
and this is your desire as well. We have many years to work on this
project?let us engage it together, thoughtfully, sincerely, [and]
intentionally. Let us state what our expectations are, for we should
have expectations that are real, reasonable and understandable to
others. Just as the First Revelatory Commission did it?s work,
thoughtfully, earnestly, over a long period of time, so too will we and
you act in the same way, co-creatively. Use the pattern and example of
the First Commission, the work that was done through them, and improve
upon it in this new era. Yes, you should be skeptical; healthy
skepticism is valuable. Do not hesitate to be skeptical, but we beg of
you not to be cynical.

I would be glad to answer questions that are within my domain and
authorization to answer at this time.

Student: Rayson, one of the things that people are interested in is?
will we be allowed to ask any curiosity-type questions along these
lines, from this new Commission? I know in the past, you have steered us
away from that, but if there is an overwhelming number of people who
really, truly want to know some of these curiosity things, can they be
submitted and considered?

RAYSON: Certainly, as long as you understand that we reserve the right
to say "no" to certain questions. The intent of curtailing curiosity
questions was to keep you on task, to keep you focused, to keep you
earnest about the important aspects of these teachings. We know that you
have a tendency for digression; curiosity run rampant is detrimental and
unproductive. So yes, we will answer curiosity questions, but we will
use them to direct your attention to the important issues. (Thank you.)

Student: I have kind of a light and personal question. Assuming that a
number of our group are getting up in years and as this process is going
to take a number of years, looking at the history of the Urantia Papers
development, will we be able to?from the morontia worlds?get information
on how this is progressing, or how our grandchildren and great
grandchildren and so on, how this progress towards Light and Life is
developing on our home planet?

RAYSON: Certainly. You can request transcripts as well. (Laughter.) Ask
a light question; receive a light answer! But truly, you will be updated
about the progress made on your planet through your own efforts. Your
contributions will not be forgotten or ignored or set aside and
forgotten, but they will be identified and identifiable. You can
research those records easily, more easily than even your archives.
Think of the grand "search engines" that the angels have.

[Ed. Note: The Teaching Mission/Correcting Time Archives can be accessed
at: http://www.tmarchives.com <http://www.tmarchives.com/> ]

Student: I was thinking as you were talking Rayson, about what
conditions were necessary for this to be timely. I was thinking about
how much worldwide communications through the Internet?I mean the fact
that we can now communicate with people on the other side of the world
in a few hours or minutes?it?s quite amazing so, I wondered if that
doesn?t help in the timeliness of this undertaking:

RAYSON: You are certainly correct. The Internet has had a huge effect
upon the spread of common consciousness. Consciousness is the thread
that ties all of this together. You are living and believing in the
consciousness of light. Your contributions of cooperation and
compatibility, assistance, support, tolerance?all work towards this
consciousness, the association of consciousness of light. We can imagine
that those members in Japan for instance, who have read the Urantia
Book, may start their own community and develop questions for their own
TR?s there and record them and start their own archives. These two
efforts are very much parallel, and one will support the other.

The archives needed to be existent before this could truly be effective,
truly be cumulative and identifiable within the archives. The Internet
created consciousness among everyone that your world is smaller, that
you are aware of others in foreign lands who are helping you. Many
commiserate about the "out-sourcing" of jobs to foreign countries that
assist your business[es] throughout the rest of the world. Yes, it may
be harmful nationally and economically in that regard, but
internationally, globally, consciously and in the development of global
consciousness, it is very, very helpful.

You know that others can relate to you whether they live ten thousand
miles from here, or farther. You know that you do not have to rely upon
someone in San Jose to help you, but that someone in Bangladesh may.
This is a wonderful process. When you think of the tormented continent
of Africa, think of the thread of consciousness that is there?it is
fragile, my friends, and in some places, totally non-existent. Your
consciousness of prayer, directed consciousness towards that continent
is very helpful to knit the threads of the lines of consciousness in
that continent. Your prayers, your consciousness, your deliberate and
intentional thoughts of support and caring, your prayers for Divine
assistance to them, is powerful.

You, as an individual in the network of consciousness of light, have the
ability to help these individuals immensely. In your groups that develop
questions, you can in turn use the group to be a powerful instrument for
others in the world. You can augment the Internet of consciousness that
you are a part of, and strengthen it immensely through your
consciousness. And when you maintain consciousness of this throughout
the day, you provide a continuous feed into it. Through your beam of
light, in the signal of consciousness that you send, you are all
connected. When you realize you are connected in light, you become one
part of the one-mind of all on this planet. It is powerful, my friends!
(Student: Wow. Thank you.)

Student: Rayson, I have a question: It has to do with the morontia life
and our attempt to understand more fully what we can learn from the book
on that and from you. First, there were 28 statements of human
philosophy that were paralleled to mota and it appears that the
archangel author wasn?t able to present the mota content for some
reason. Could you shed some light on this?

RAYSON: I will defer that question, and the answer for another time, my
friend. This is part of the delay of questions concerning the text,
which I wish you to join with others. That is an excellent question. Do
not discard it, but keep it and wait for your group to consider it for
submission. (Thank you.)

Student: Another question: In regards to the basic energies of space, it
was commenting that light and electricity are secondary and a
sub-manifestation to those energies, even is stepped down to our system
of?(inaudible)?. Is there anything that you can comment about as to
their nature, these basic energies of space and whether or not they are
accessible on Urantia as a source of free energy?

RAYSON: I will answer that in part. Yes, it is accessible on your
planet. This energy is of the eternal nature; it is not time-bound or
dimensionally bound. It manifests between the two universes?the finite
and the eternal. It may seem impossible, a will-of-the-wisp to pursue,
something that is as ethereal as this, but technologies can access that
part, that side of that energy in dimensional form. It is truly an
unlimited source, and it may neither be destroyed, nor used up, worn
out, or discarded?but you can ignore it.

Student: Is it represented in our frequency bands?

RAYSON: Only as an echo.

Student: I have a different type of a question: What is the significance
of the ET bases on the backside of the moon, and some on Mars? And why
are not ET?s mentioned in the U -book?

RAYSON: ET?s are mentioned in the U-book. They are just not identified
as such. "ET" is not a good label for us to use, as it is too exciting
and is too culturally specific in your era on this planet. The Urantia
Book has repeatedly said that there are other planets, other systems,
within the quarantine area. Truly you are not alone in the universe.
That is all that I wish to share concerning that. (Thank you.)

Student: It?s rather puzzling to me why Gabriel and Monjoronson feel
like "now" is the time for some of this, because we see so little of
this higher one-mindedness on our planet. Um?.I don?t exactly know how
to phrase this question?

RAYSON: I understand your question. We see the network of consciousness
upon your planet, and it has existed for a good deal of time. It has
been very strong regionally, and in some regions it then disappears.
There is a belief now among us, among Michael?s staff, that it is
sufficiently strong and global to remain self-sustaining. For all the
cynical and bitter statements about the divisiveness of Christianity,
belief in God is at an all-time high. The wars of the West and Islam
have raised the thought of Allah in the minds of all of Islam. They pray
as earnestly as you do. Some of their prayers are not as evolved as
yours; and many of your prayers are much less evolved than theirs. You
do not see what is on the next page, do you? (No.) We do.

We know that your world is evolving spiritually. Most of you?we took the
world as a whole?are moving along grumblingly, complainingly,
resistingly. Many of you?even in this community?struggle with your ego
about knowing the right way of what to do for others. But you believe!
Others believe. You hope, you have faith that there will be peace, that
there will be a maturation of your world, eventually, to come into the
Days of Light and Life. This step would not have been inaugurated were
there not sufficient supports within mortals, themselves, to have this
[as] an on-going enterprise. But if you consider continued support
through Christ Michael?s many corps in the Correcting Time, you will see
that it is very timely. You might think of Christ Michael as a "venture
capitalist in spirituality." He believes in you. As much as you argue
among yourselves, he knows you are all headed towards the light. Your
intentions are in the right direction. You are sincere, and many of you
are deeply, deeply earnest.

What we wish you to do?and we know you are fully capable of?is to
believe in yourself. Believe in yourself that you can successfully,
cooperatively, easily, *joyfully* work with your fellow brothers and
sisters of the light. Once you begin to understand this, then you will
see that there are many other purposes to this Second Revelatory
Commission?s inauguration than just the generation of questions and the
development of new text. And again, the invitation is here, presented to
you now, every moment of your waking and sleeping life. When you are in
doubt, question the Source. Ask questions of Michael, your Thought
Adjuster, your guardian, and your celestial teachers. Do not hesitate;
ask for guidance, for understanding, for clarity in your own thinking?as
well as your friends. Be humble. And, believe in yourself, without
arrogance.

Blessings to you my friends. Truly the lessons that you are
experiencing, we appreciate so much, and those of us who have passed so
long ago from the mortal realm are able to re-engage this very vital
level of spiritual reality that you live through on material planes, and
which is such a challenge. All of us thank you so very much for your
courage to participate and enter areas that are doubtful, which may
contradict your prior beliefs, and challenge your own security in your
faith. We look forward to your interest and participation. Good day.
(Group gives thanks.)
