Opening prayer could not be heard due to recording quality.
Aaron (Bob D.): Greetings to you, my friends. I am Aaron, and it is
my pleasure to be with you tonight sharing at the soul level with
companions such as you. Let us take a moment and solidify our
connection.
(Pause
Embrace of spiritual realities signifies the evolution of your
being, your essence, to a completely new creature not tied to
material desire nor weighed down by material problems, but rather a
new and expanding being of soul values augmented by your continuous
search for higher reality. And though you are not bound by the
material world, you are still influenced by the happenings in your
life. You recognize that it is not practical to be all spirit and no
substance at this stage of your existence, for you do exist in a
material world. And it is the spiritualizing mind that can live in
the world but not be of the world.
This is the transition phase of your adventure. I preface my
following comments this evening with this introduction, for it is
your recognition of having one foot in the material world and one
foot in the spiritual plane that can help you to better apply
certain aspects of your learning in the world around you.
This effort (the Teaching Mission) has been referred to as a mission
because there is a mission involved in what we are doing beyond
simply teaching a few people a few ideas. The idea behind the 100th
Monkey Syndrome is that if energy is placed in certain channels, and
others, touched by this energy, equally apply energy in the same
direction, at some point a critical mass can occur which allows for
some new insight or some event to occur broadly, rather than as an
isolated pocket. While this concept is not completely accurate, it
is good to recognize that effort applied can produce more efforts,
and more efforts can eventually lead to greater awareness by a
group, which then influences another group, until it becomes common
awareness on a societal level.
This world at this time is poised to receive new understanding, and
it is by persons passing on insights that this new understanding can
occur on a societal level. You have been taught many things over
more than a decade now, but there are common themes which can be
shared if done in a thoughtful and reflective manner such that
people will be influenced by the idea even if they are not
influenced by the process.
One of the primary messages that will allow further evolution on
your world is that the universe is friendly rather than sinister in
nature. Spiritual beings with dastardly plots do not exist. A large
number of people on your world still reside in the dark regarding
this concept. Although it will not come about over night, the
sharing of this concept will make inroads toward relaxing the fears
of many on your world.
The Gospel of Jesus was not that he died for your sins so that you
could all be forgiven by a god who requires sacrifice, but rather is
it the emphasis of Christ that God is your Parent, Father/Mother.
How ever this insight, is shared does not matter as long as people
recognize that there is a Personal Loving Being at the Center of All
Things.
The message of the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man is
not missing in Christianity, but it is obscured such that it is not
the emphasis but rather just a piece of knowledge. And although Paul
was well meaning, the atonement doctrine that evolved has become so
overriding that it blinds people to the true message of love and
kindness which underlies the universe ascension plan and your
relationship to the universe and to each other.
The idea that spirituality goes beyond just the Father/child
relationship to an integral family of God working together for the
progress of all is a necessary concept to be realized to move into
the next age of development on your world. People need to realize
that spirituality is an ever present ministry of beings to each
other. And although there is a central focus in the Central
Personality, the freeing experience of realizing that there is a
whole universe of beings working together will allow for a greater
expansion and realization of brotherhood, sisterhood, family on your
world. And there are other ideas, although tonight I wanted to
emphasize these, for they are the basic core of our program.
As you go through your days, as you contemplate things that you can
do, look at ways that you can incorporate these ideas into your
efforts. You do not need to teach about us necessarily, but you can
teach what we teach such that it comes out naturally and without
extra baggage added to it.
And so tonight, I ask you to realize your ability to be agents of
change without having to do more than being real with your
experiences in your daily life and being observant of the
opportunities to pass on an idea. Because you exist in both worlds,
you can be the transfer of insight from the spiritual to the
material plane. On a personal level, you can work to solidify your
foothold in the spiritual plane through the steps and reflection of
God such that you are not relying too much on the foothold you have
in the material plane. As you increasingly feel more sure of your
step, you can rest assured that this insight-transfer will occur
more readily, more naturally, more frequently. Opportunities have a
way of arising when you are in a place to take advantage of
opportunities.
I am finished with my dialogue this evening. I recognize that Simeon
will be leaving soon. If there are any questions, I can address them
through either Simeon or another.
(Nancy responded but her words were lost due to poor recording
equipment. The gist of her comments expressed excitement at the
lesson, given her experience of the previous evening in helping to
sooth the fears of a young friend who was frightened by a program on
aliens and greatly cheered by the concept of cosmic brothers and
sisters who are children of the same God we love and know.)
Aaron: It is confirming to this TR to have recognition, but for
myself, Daniel, Minearisa, and others, obviously this was part of
how we developed this lesson this evening. Our desire is to feed off
of your experiences to hopefully allow further insight so that you
can continue to be bolstered and to minister as the opportunities
present themselves.
Nancy: Yes, it is bolstering .(words again lost due to recording
quality.)
Aaron: At this time, I will withdraw. I will leave the floor open
for another to speak if there is a communicator present. I
appreciate our conversation.
Daniel (Nancy): Greetings. I am Daniel your joyous friend and
colleague here among you once again. I have delighted in your soul s
response to hearing the simplicity and clarity of the message of
Jesus and the message of the Fifth Epochal Revelation.
Indeed, as Aaron stated, the Teaching Mission is a mission, a part
of the time of correction from the destructive influences of the
rebellion. Our mission to you is personal that you may become
personally engaged with the spiritual influences that support and
minister to you in every moment of every hour of every day. And
that, in so doing, your mission to the world at this point in time
can be accomplished.
Our desire is that you peal away the layers that obscure the
beautiful personality given to you by God, the First Source and
Center, that you may know and develop your myriad talents, that you
may exult in joyous recognition of the beauty of your being, that
you may desire to share your gifts and talents, experience and path,
and love with your fellow siblings, sisters and brothers, children
of the First Source and Center; that in your natural sharing, your
natural being, others may see a reflection of their potential that
they, too, may do the hard work of pealing the layers and
establishing an ongoing, intimate, moment-by-moment relationship
with Spirit; that this process of individual blooming may itself
bloom, bringing Urantia into fragrant flower. In this healing of the
spirit of the souls, of the hearts, of Urantians, many other social
ills will be corrected.
And so our mission to you is to show you your value, your sparkling
beauty, that you may not only feel free, but desire, to share your
sparkle with others.
Now, my friends, we know the hour is growing late. We thank you for
your commitment and for setting aside time to interact with us on a
regular basis, so that we may continue this interaction, not only
one-on-one with you, but with you as a group. For it is in the
blossoming of group relationships that the bloom of Urantia will
spread ever faster.
We, the Teaching Corp, offer our love and our respect, and, yes, our
gratitude to you our friends and students. Please stand and hold
hands for the closing prayer.
Father, we these material children and others of us stand together
unified, a mixture of spirit, mind, and material presence. We thank
you for your great blessing upon us all in the gift of life, for the
adventure of eternity, and for the great gift of Correction in which
we all participate. Be with these our students as they take the
message of love out into their world. Be with us as we seek your
will in best assisting them in their efforts. Amen.
