Unknown Midwayer.
Subject: "Love without Respect."

Received by George Barnard.

Midwayer: "We know how you feel. We can sense how you feel. And it is because of the dimension in time that we live in; we can also see precisely how you feel. You are in, let us call it, a state of grieving and rebellion.

"I am a Midwayer, a friend, and I greet you, Brother.

George: "Our greetings to you. What's on your slate, Sister?"

"This. The crux about your feelings I want to discuss with you is the difference between love and respect, for there is certainly a vast difference between love and respect.

"We are well aware of your "philosophy in the hierarchy of feelings one develops for his kin" -- the theory that unbiased investigation of another's ways must bring understanding, which can be followed by respect, next admiration, and then last of all love.

"And I agree with you, that for many this is the order in which these feelings grow -- are aroused, over time. It is human nature and we know it so well. Only with maturity will the enlightened universe citizens arrive at the realization that they can still disrespect and even abhor what others do wrong, yet continue to love them without condition for nevertheless being the children of God that they are.

"In time and growth one gains the maturity and insight that will allow you to disrespect the inaction or cruelty of a parent -- a father, or a mother, a guardian, who neglects a child, yet you can still love them, merely for being the offspring of the Creator, Who is also the Source of your individual being.

"There is something to note here, something to learn from this, George. And I will give you an example that must ring true to you at this very time. You may disrespect, even loathe the taking of drugs, but if you say you cannot love the addict, you are only fooling yourself.

"In fact this is a lesson, a powerful lesson, that you long ago comprehended, but only recently learned; for as much as you hated, despised, show disrespect for, the behavior of your recently departed friend who so carelessly did away with a precious life, your very feelings should tell you there was, and still is, much love in your heart for that sad, lost individual.

"You grieve for those who are left behind, but also for the victim, and it is that; the feeling you experience right now, that must explain to you that you cannot simply disrespect, hate or despise the misguided person, the confused sibling, for the madness of this desperate act -- for what was done to end the suffering.

"You can be full of contempt for their actions, but continue to love these individuals for being His children, and real equals to all. We truly all are each other at our Spiritual Root Source.

"I am a Midwayer. I am a sister or cousin to those you know well."

George: "Will you give me your name, or code, or call sign, Sis?"

Midwayer: "I will not give you my "social security code", Buddy. I'm simply a friend, but I trust that together with you, and because of recent events you shared with all, that it becomes more widely understood that your love can go out to all, irrespective of your possible contempt for their wrongful behavior directed at self or others.

"I give you the kindest regards of many. Even do we all send our love, as you return yours. Goodbye."

Note: This transmit was in response to a recent drug suicide.

Archangel Raphael.
Subject: "Herein Lies Reality."

Received by Carolyn Camp

Raphael: "It is I, Raphael. Here to visit you once again, my friend.

"In darkness there is clarity. In silence there is music. In imagination there is energy.

"Imagine healing energy flowing around every cell in your body. See it cleanse and wash away impurities. It leaves each cell rejuvenated and healthy.

"Now send that energy out to the world. It has grown stronger as it passed through your body. It spreads and flows, cleansing the cells of everyone it encounters. It continues to spread from one person to another, growing with each passing until it has swept around the globe. Give some thought to this example. Herein lies reality.

"It is my pleasure to share energy with you.

"I am Raphael."

Midwayer Chief Bzutu (ABC-22)
Subject: "Human Input in the UPapers"

Received by George Barnard

George: "I thank you for your signal. Loud and clear."

Bzutu: "This is your comrade, ABC-22. It ceaselessly surprises me to find how long it must take for you to prepare for an informal discussion with me. I greet you, brother.

"This evening, I want to talk with you regarding the use of certain phraseology in the Urantia Papers, and it is not just recently, but right from the onset of your first reading of 77 (Paper 77) that you were tweaked about the use of disagreeable terminology, that you were tweaked about the out-of-place denunciation of certain methods of contact, and that you were tweaked about the supposed danger of befriending "low-grade Celestials" such as us common Midwayers."

(Contact broken -- prolonged laughter)

Bzutu: "…back again. And looking back over a long period of association in your terms during which we truly got to know each other, and were able to gauge each other's personality characteristics -- talents and flaws alike -- we could only be considered to have been engaged in things truly shameful and sordid, would you not say?

"In all we tried and all we did in our varied methods of drawing closer to each other, were we depraved in our ways of doing Michael's work? Did we degrade ourselves in our means of contact as we ministered to troubled minds in Nebadonia's name? Did we debase ourselves in the ways we ensured a Father Fragment received Its dues in the experiential journey It chose to travel? Have you or I in any way retarded the growth of the Planetary "Representation" of the Supreme of time and space? I… would say not.

"We are entitled to use our minds in any way the Creator of All has pre-dispositioned us to, as a team, do what is right in His name. Our states of consciousness are His gifts to be used, and God knows how little use we make of them for each of us to reach across the chasms of the time frame differentials.

"You have asked me a straight question and I will give you the straight answer you deserve. There is no way in which any method of sincere reach towards your brothers and sisters of another species can be denounced as sordid or shameful, when each of these participants is fully employed, wholly involved, and deeply gratified in doing a task our Creator intended for us to fulfill. In serving Michael, in serving Mother Spirit, in serving the Father, and when it involves the saving of, the enrichment of, the happiness in the lives of Father's children, we were and remain on a true course.

"In providing such great service, yet interjecting with personal opinions, a great work has been devalued and the tiny present-day fragment that is "the Urantia Papers aware" aspect of the population is therethrough fragmented further still.

"As once the 873 departed from the 1,111, as once the 40,119 departed from the 9,881… (Unclear) …once again the Fifth Epochal Revelation, though only to a degree, shares its fate with that of the Fourth, in that it causes uncertainty and division when a single great, logical, but biased mind is at mischief."

George: "I have one question."

Bzutu: "It must wait for now, but not for long. Adieu."

Note: There is nothing in the Upapers about befriending "low-grade Celestials", only in
private posts from some that are less grateful for the services of the Urantia Midwayers.

Teacher John.
Subject: "The Complimentary Source."

Received by Carolyn Camp.

John: "Hello Carolyn. This is John.

"When someone reaches within -- for an answer to a question or to make a decision -- he or she has the opportunity to learn from a Higher Power. Answers are not always solely intellectual. Sometimes they are a combination of a sense of rightness along with intelligent conclusions.

"When these factors compliment each other, one is usually on the right track. The most telling signal that one is taking the wrong path is when there is strong conflict with these two perceptions.

"Often people take the wrong path, because they want so badly for either their feelings or their intellect to be correct that they try to ignore signals coming from the Complimentary Source. Mortals often tend to ignore answers that aren’t within their desires.

"Our Father gives us many tools to work with. We are not meant to only use them one at a time. The most important thing to remember is to keep the Love of our Father for all of his Children as the final testing factor in decision-making.

"Our Father’s love is with you all, at all times."
