*	Lanaforge (Jonathan TR):  Greetings.  I welcome you as you 
welcome me.  We are ever willing to be assigned to engagements 
that our Master Son wishes we undertake, for it is an honor to 
be his servant.
	Your world is yet adjusting to the remarkable visitation of 
Michael.  While his reputation on this planet is quite high, he 
is still little understood.  It is not surprising, for Earth has 
yet to realize its position in this universe family.  You who 
have invested your attention toward maintaining a conscious 
awareness of your belonging to Michael are comfortable living 
with his overseeing presence, and you know his loving care is 
for you and for all around you.
	Many among Urantia are struggling under the erroneous 
belief that Michael can be owned and withheld or shared 
according to human perception and requirements.  In order for 
this planet to reach the stage whereby it may receive 
visitations from neighbors on other worlds, unity and 
cooperation must be well founded in the thought streams and 
actions of the human beings resident upon this world.  It is my 
call to you to continue the work of instilling in others trust 
that you are of common heritage, that you are of the same 
spiritual parents.  The challenge is to foster this togetherness 
and convey to others only opening up to this perspective of 
commonality that you each are not only allowed but encouraged to 
be different, to explore the great realm of opinion and belief, 
to exercise wisdom in choosing your cosmic perspective in 
discovering truth.
	It is a great stretch of faith to be inclusive of all 
fellows without requiring conformity.  Human nature is to 
struggle in the dynamics of win and lose, of inclusion and 
exclusion.  Matters of little importance such as uniform are 
what in centuries past have been called tribal markings often 
divide whole groups of people.  The variability of personalities 
and the variety of human communities serve to beautify your 
cultures.
	Michael draws all to himself.  It is his wish that we each 
draw all others towards us, fully knowing our bond in the 
brotherhood of Nebadon.  You understand your unity amongst one 
another, and you accept and cherish the variety that each of you 
provides for one another.  This balance is essential for 
planetary progress.  It is time for this world to cease the 
ideological tug-of-war and to begin to orchestrate and 
choreograph all the multiple talents and perspectives and traits 
to harmonize, to mobilize, all with one another, for it is in 
this cohesiveness that the great potential of the human race 
will rise and function and hasten your course to Light and Life.  
As your world better understands its placement in Nebadon, it 
will become easier for many others to perceive as you do and to 
intermingle acceptingly with others as you do.
	It is my desire to establish the methods of Michael in this 
system.  There are few worlds left to awaken to the mission of 
Michael.  I ask you to ever be willing to demonstrate the 
reality of our Creator Son’s method of living, his manner of 
loving, his devotion to God, his embrace of all.  This will 
establish the primary foundation from which Urantia will build a 
better world.
	I am coordinating constantly with the personalities 
assigned to your world.  While much is done to assist you as 
people, individuals, in your spiritual growth and your cosmic 
understanding, a great many events take place of planetary 
significance and in view of eventual interplanetary connection.  
Michael’s goal is the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of 
all mankind throughout all Nebadon, the awareness of universe 
family and all the love and support that that entails.  I am 
pledged to foster that in Satania.
	I am also attentive to the mechanics involved in 
coordinating every planet under my jurisdiction.  Planets are 
not personalities.  They require a form of administration that 
is challenging, for any world, not being an entity, cannot be 
addressed directly as I do you today.  When I accepted system 
rulership, I only faintly grasped the challenge.
	We all grow in this universe of time and space, and we all 
come to better appreciate the overcare of our Creator Son.  It 
is Michael and Nebadonia who are the presence of God while we 
created adjust and unfold and draw near to our divine parents.
	This is Lanaforge.  I commend your dedication.  It is 
rewarding to me to look upon this world and assess that many 
like you are awakening to the grander view of life, one above 
simply living for yourself and living only for a relatively 
small few, to the exclusion of others.  The greater the embrace 
of acceptance the more smoothly our grouping of worlds will 
develop this same acceptance.  Focus on Urantia but do so with 
the awareness of your sister world.
	Your studies have instilled within you a large picture of 
universe function.  This perspective, while vast and of remote 
realms, supports your everyday actions.  It infuses your moment 
to moment efforts with a deep eternal sense of goodness and of 
purpose and meaning.  Thank you ever for your efforts.
	I welcome your responses.

	Evelyn:  I find myself wondering if there are conflicts 
between planets in our system.

*	Lanaforge:  There are no wars, no fighting, but many 
administrators do hold differing views regarding methodology for 
advancing worlds and for interplanetary relationship.  There are 
weighty matters that engage the passions of many personalities.  
But the worlds that function in full knowledge of other worlds’ 
existence and relationship are all advanced to the point that 
differences are expressed as debate.  These conflicts are 
spirited; they are highly stimulative of creativity.  All 
administrators understand the health that results from such 
exchanges and contests of ideology.
	Not since the times of Lucifer has such expression of 
ideology fallen into the destructive pattern which sends souls 
into confusion and worlds into darkness.  That lesson was 
learned and it is retaught in the training worlds.  Worlds yet 
to awaken from the nursery of quarantine are as yet not allowed 
intercommunication until this basic understanding is reached, 
and this likewise prevents dangerous conflict.

	Tom: A recent lesson comes to mind regarding Michael and 
how he was never concerned that people treat him fairly.  He was 
only concerned with treating others fairly.  That perspective is 
only possible when you keep the bigger picture in front.  Of 
course, Michael is the bigger picture.

*	Lanaforge:  His grasp of the love of the Father for himself 
and for all creatures made it possible for him to experience 
fairness in a universe perspective, thereby reducing the 
transient actions of unfair behavior of fellows around him to a 
very small level of disturbance.  His grasp of fairness was so 
broad that those actions were inconsequential.  You each are 
developing this broad view.

	Evelyn:  Thank you for speaking with us.

*	Lanaforge:  It is a pleasure to make contact with  a world 
which stands out so prominently in this system.  I assure you of 
the good progress being made on this world; the administration 
of this planet is functioning harmoniously.  You have able 
leaders.  You have ambassadors from higher realms stationed 
here.  They are qualified.  I acknowledge their authority, and I 
coordinate and conference regularly with both visiting 
dignitaries and our own native administrators.  I am proud to be 
the System Sovereign of this system.  You will grow in 
understanding how unique Satania is.  Our neighborhood within 
Nebadon is a remarkable place, and I am honored to be 
servant/ruler.
	It is time I tend to other duties.  Thank you, my friends, 
for your attention, for allowing this context whereby myself and 
many others are able to assist you in instruction.  While action 
is the means whereby work is done to advance each world, insight 
and understanding are necessary, for they remove much error 
through experimentation.  A mind directed toward cosmic purpose 
yields action of great worth upon a world.
	I will contact again.
