Michael: "Today, My children, I ask you to be patient with one another. Patience is not an easy labor. There is much in all your lives to test your patience. You have trials, and often, for the Path we tread together is an uphill climb with only short periods of rest along the way. "You must learn patience, for it is not a gift to be granted, and it is a futile cry to ask the Father for patience, since it is only gained through trials. And who among you would petition for more trials to come your way? "Trials are the guaranteed part of the terrain of your garden. They are, indeed, the rocks on the Path and for many they are great stumbling blocks. "So today I ask you to practice patience with one another. There are many who have trials far greater than yours. These brothers and sisters need all the kindness you can muster up to give them. "As you walk your Path today, there may be strangers for you to encounter. You will not know about the weighty burdens they might carry. And I assure you that a tender smile, a patient, gentle kindness may do far more than you could ever know to lift their heavy loads. "You may think that I have asked too little of you today, my children. But no! I ask you to cultivate patience. "The daily lessons will require ever more of you, for the curriculum builds one step upon the other. You will never be asked to give more than you are capable of. Onward! Each day brings much that needs be done, for this is all the Father's Business. "Allow your day to unfold using both patience and kindness. These are my words for today. And for every day."

November 3, 2003 Cherubim "What About Bob." Received by Gerdean. What About Bob: "Good evening, kids. I’m glad to see you are surviving and doing so well. As a species, you have been surviving for so long, you don’t know how to not survive. You don’t know how to stop surviving. Do you see what I am saying? "You do not need to try hard to survive; you are surviving. But the tendency is there, like a belief system that needs to be re-thought. It is not necessary for war to happen if you can see that you don’t have to do this to survive. "What is the threat? What would be at risk, if it were understood that a nation is merely a current configuration of men who have something in common, like a guild or a troupe, to help thwart off the risk of being alone and having to survive on their own? People have forgotten their primitive nature. They would survive. They have become soft. They have become deluded. They have become puffed up with pride. This is a stage of evolution about peace. "But peace, you see, will bring a whole different way of perceiving, and to live in peace, everyone would have to put down what they know best - survival! Modern man would not know how to live if they did not have their survival to worry about. So, they are going to have an opportunity to think about what survival means. It does not mean they have to go back to war or do more battle. That would be ‘doing the same thing, expecting different results’. "Peace comes not from doing battle but from finding the freedom from the need to survive. "Those of you who are born again know you will survive. You know that your existence is not dependent on this material body. You know that this world will continue even after everyone on it has passed away, even after these civilizations that you are a part of have come and gone. There is more to life than this one. "It is the urge to survive that keeps you so mean-spirited, which keeps you from being more sociable in a relationship sense. You think, ‘I cannot run a risk of having a friend if they are going to die, or if they are going to betray me!’ This kind of thinking is old programming. It is not necessary for those of you who have been re-conditioned. "Think about it. Discover for yourselves how much you have to offer by having what you have come to perceive of as ‘experiential revelation.’ Consciousness is a vital part of your hope. Spirit is the most direct route to becoming conscious and aware of other dimensions. But revelation can also come through the mind by way of ideas or inspirations, so you don’t need to discuss religion in order to be able to touch the soul, the psyche, the mind of man. And when you’ve gotten better at this, you will be able to engage better in not being afraid of what you might find if you set aside your survival instincts and became eternal pals with the next person you meet. "Of course, relationships take two. But you’ve got the upper hand in this exercise, and you can instigate a new social consciousness, a non-threatening consciousness. That is one of the lures of the brotherhood -- that you shall ‘inherit the earth’. "It’s remarkable that you do as well as you do. But you clutch that armor tight even when you don’t need to carry it. Let’s see if you can let it down more often and pick it up less and less. Remember the Master will go with you as he reveals your path, and the Spirit of Truth will say, ‘This is the way.’ "But now I think I’ve talked more than my share. I look forward to our gathering next week. See if you can learn some new reaction patterns between now and then. Just to amuse yourself. Have a good evening."

District, Australia; November 8, 2003 Midwayer Chief, Bzutu (ABC-22). Received by George Barnard. Bzutu: "I will communicate with these folks and introduce myself if you will open your mouth, George, or I will just stand around and look pretty. [This part was unrecorded]. "I just wanted to say that we’ve been with you for most of these past few days. We are many that have been with you, doing your human thing, watching you win with the Akashic Construct. And we’ve been with you during your meditations. It would be good for some of you to ask for the Midway Healers to come around. "There are available to you some pretty impressive healings, and with all of you here are your "Midwayer Angels," Physiologists - learned Physicians - to diagnose your functions at all times. It would be profitable for two of you to request Doctor Mendoza to come and visit you, or for one of the advanced healers that have come in from outlying star systems to come around. They would be only too pleased to be asked to chip in. "You may ask to ask to be woken up out of your sleep during the night, and someone working with you will identify himself or herself. There is closeness between you and your healer friends, as you are all in some ways involved in important work that will promote what we know as "The Correcting Time." "There are still many centuries and decades to go during which more and more individuals in your population will pick up on the changes in the spiritual realm, yet we can see that this is happening at a much faster rate then will generally be appreciated by you. To us you are important contributors; important individuals, for you are in the avant-garde of helpers in this most important work we do. "You need but to call on us ‘semi-physical’ beings, and if it is by any means possible, we will be there to assist you. To me it is a long-awaited pleasure to speak to you directly, although through this "strangely accented loudspeaker." It is a pleasure for me to meet up with you, officially. "I am one of the loyal Midwayers. I am Midwayer Chief, Bzutu, bidding you a pleasant day and an enjoyable evening. I say goodbye for now." The group: "Goodbye, Bzutu." * Notes: The above transmission was recorded on a voice-activated recorder. There were rather a lot of missing words, and I had to wait for some time today (11/11/03) to get midwayer help to "revive" what at first glance looked like an unappetizing three-day-old hebephrenic word salad - George.

District, Australia; November 10, 2003 A Teacher Called, "The Scribe." Received by George Barnard. George: "I’m not just here for me, you know. There are many who would wish to share a nice lesson, and they already know I’m not perfect." The Scribe: "My dear demanding and defensive student, like you, I also speak on behalf of many others, rather than on behalf of just myself. "I speak on behalf of the many who from time to time keep an eye on, guide, teach, protect you, and send so much love to you, to those who wish to work with you, and to those who feel close to you all and look forward to receiving the lessons that come from our hearts. I speak to them all. "So often is it with you that you plan and push and trouble (worry) to forcefully make something come about, and in your tireless efforts you prefer to see it all completed by yesterday morning or even on the day before." [*] Right here, I suddenly realize this is the Teacher called, "The Scribe." I sense it, or I can somehow "feel it by that directness and authority", but also the sudden, abundant, overwhelming love that comes across. (Long pause.) I don’t quite seem to know what to do with my emotions here. [See note below.] The Scribe: "And yet your life in this realm is designed for you to step-by-step and slowly learn that the ultimate you can develop in patience will much more readily bring you the opportunity to be of service, as your Celestial Parents reach out and make come about the circumstances through which, and most readily, your growth will advance. "A great deal of trust can be generated when you decide to be patient, and especially with those projects where you would like to count on rapid progress and ‘admirable’ results. "And you, the fortunate ones, who have entered through the time/space doorway of the Correcting Time’s early years, can generate a great deal of progress by your developing patience, by your feeling guided by your Celestial Parents, your Guides, your Guardians, your Teachers, your Helpers who are involved with you in your tasks… "… by their own wishes, at their own bidding, or as they are instructed to be involved with you, and assist you where they can, as they request you try to live your lives as stress-free and intuitively as you might manage in the environment you may perceive yourselves to live in, or create for yourselves to occupy, for in this fashion, the suggestions of your beloved Midwayer Cousins will ring true in your minds. "I am the one whose name is unpronounceable, whose number is of great length. I am a Teacher of many ages, whose entire coming into being, and advancement was governed by one single attribute; love. "You may call me The Scribe, and at your convenience print my words, for they are not just for you." George: "Thank you, my friend." * * * * * Note: This Teacher is most appreciative of the love returned to him, as well as appreciative of being sensed (recognized) as a distinct personality - George.

November 13, 2003 Cherubim "What About Bob." Received by Gerdean The Discussion with Cherubim Bob centers on an article written by Jon Greer
about the study of Urantia Book etymology. "If you are going to reach for me for quality association, counsel and camaraderie, I want to be able to meet your expectations, even though sometimes my counsel may not be what you expect. Do you have any questions?" Student: "I don’t have any compelling question. The study of etymology that this man Jon Greer had put together was a piece of the puzzle that had been missing in my mind. It helps me in my trying to put all of these things together, all these little belief systems or approaches to deity, and this study on etymology has just … I mean, just the process gives you insight." Bob: "What did he say?" Student: "Well, one of the things that he verified in my mind was that I have always felt that the Urantia Book was pretty much aimed at Judeo-Christian belief systems and traditions, and I saw it in the etymology (even though I didn’t know what etymology was,) when I saw certain written things were used. Like Jerusem. Havona. Those are examples of words that were used that were so much like the words in the Bible, et cetera. And the etymology shows how that all ties together and it makes - again, it completes that whole idea of why and how it was done, because it was a matter of what to leave in and what to leave out, like the discussion about the Angels of Churches and Angels of Progress, weighing what to do - too much progress might not be beneficial to the overall good of the book. Angels of Churches had a reason to support that idea. Different things were chosen at different times, but it, again, it was just another confirmation of something I intuited in my own fashion. Bob: "Yes, well, it was established that the seven epochal revelations would lead to light and life (by way of a circuitous route) and Machiventa determined, when he discovered that Jesus was likely going to incarnate on Urantia, to get busy and prepare the way for Jesus. Thus he accosted Abraham and induced him to create a nation of people that would bring the concept of One God into being such that when Jesus arrived he would have a platform from which to operate. "That One God concept is brought to you by Melchizedek and Abraham; thus, the father of the Jewish race is also the grandfather of Christianity. And they will lead this planet into the age of Teacher Sons, of which we are a preliminary part, in order for evolution on your world to continue in a way that will end up in light and life. "This is the most auspicious route, if you can believe that. If Jesus was the incarnation of your Creator Son, the Creator Son of your local universe, you can’t very well complain that the destiny of this world is oriented in his direction!" Student: "Thank you for that." Bob: "Yes." Student: "It’s so … hard to promote Jesus." Bob: "Yes." Student: "Because of the stigma." Bob: "Yes! They have made his message a mockery, and for you to laud him, you almost need to trample on the heads of those who paved the way for him to come! This is a very serious conundrum for Urantia. We have despaired more times than you would like to think, over the situation in Israel. "It has colored the entire planet’s opinion about the loving Creator/Master Son, Michael of Nebadon. It is such a travesty. It is enough to make one angry! How can anyone feel they have the right to be so little in their egoistic aspirations to be like him, that they would bring him down to their base levels - which become even baser by their infantile attempts to hold him up as any kind of an example. "I regret, however, that it doesn’t even come to that, in many characteristics, for even though he came through them, they still don’t recognize him -- even while they are remembered because of him being among them. What a difficult situation it is. The Angels of Progress and the Angels of the Churches, indeed. They are at work incessantly in an almost futile attempt to heal the toxic vapors still seeping from the ground where he walked. Woe be unto you, Scribes and Pharisees. Woe be unto you. "As you become the best you can be, you can better serve and aid in the healing of these wounds that torment Urantia. The burden is light. His yoke is easy. Blessed be are the peacemakers, for they shall see God. See you next week. Have a good evening."
