TARA: Is there a message this morning?
BERTRAM: Greetings, little one! It is our pleasure to be with you once more. We have a message you to bring to those in your immediate arena on Urantia. We want you who are now called, and who are aware of your calling, to now go with us to the next phase of this Teaching Mission.
Preparation, Correcting Time
There is a great and mighty work to be done on earth in preparation of the times ahead for your beloved Urantia. We need your visual demonstration of the Father’s love to all his children. Only through you and your loving actions does the world see the religion of Jesus in action upon the earth. Pause in your daily rush in life to see, actually see, and understand and love your brother. Pause to take time with him, to share with him, to listen to him and to interact with him. One at a time, moment by moment, gently lead him into the Father’s embrace that you so richly enjoy. Help him to understand the Fathers’ love for him. Demonstrate to him the growing “fruits of the spirit” in your own lives through your loving service to him, your confiding trust and confidence in the promises of the Father.
Indeed, you are all children of the Gods, and are in preparation daily for your eternal life to be shared with them and with each other. Now, must you begin to live in peace and harmony and in love with one another. You must take the TIME now. Time is what the Father has given you so that your experiences can take place in an orderly sequence of understanding, learning, and growth. As we have said before perfection attainment does not occur in an instant but is a continual growing process which will take eons of time in your space time environment and is purposely created for you and for this purpose.
Now must you begin to put into practice what you have been learning, as you learn, reaching back helping others in their search and quest for the meaning of life, now and forever. In like manner have we come “leaning back” to assist and aid you in your spiritual growth and development. Always on your ascension path, will you see this teaching method in action. Do you not remember how even as little ones, brothers and sisters, you were reaching back to help the youngest one learn the ways established in the earthly family unit. Your parents were also reaching back helping you in your growth to maturity. The principle has always been and continues to be the same in all walks of life where there is human, morontial and spiritual interaction.
But alas, not all family units or socialized family units on such a backward planet, coming out of rebellion, have had such normal experiences with positive influences. Negative influence is also taught in the same manner, to your present continual sorrow and pain. But even that situation is provided for in the plan of the Fathers, should lessons not be learned in this life time, they will be learned on the transition worlds of time and space.
So do we now call you to do your part now to further the Father’s will on earth. Be a living example of the truth now revealed to you, by the Fathers, to aid you in your spiritual growth day by day, so that you can be prepared to help others.
You must now put these principles into positive action in your daily and personal life. The world must see the religion of Jesus in action, in service. You are truly His ambassadors of the kingdom on Urantia, prepared and being prepared to represent Him to His children in time and space. Therefore, let the ”Fruits of His Spirit” shine forth in your life as you exemplify Him to all you meet each day. I now leave you this fine rainy morning to be about the Father’s work. Deliver these messages to those called, for their enrichment and growth in the family of God. Your teacher and friend Bertram.
Session 2
July 6,1999
TARA: Is there a message tonight?
Stillness
MALCOM: Yes, little one. We would like to bring you a lesson regarding the practice of going into the stillness and there to commune with the Father within. First ask yourself, do I really believe the Father dwells within me? Does a very part of Him, His spirit essence truly live there and experiences my life with me moment by moment? Has He really given to me a living fragment of His being called my Thought Adjuster? If you really and truly believe that He is there within; if you truly have this living faith in the Universal Father to so dwell there as He has promised, then you can have faith that He can hear you and commune with you, and be a very part of your life.
We encourage you to take time each day and sit in quiet communion with Him and believe and have confiding trust that He is there with you. In faith take hold of the divine hand that reaches out to you, as you reach out to Him in faith and trust. Experience His love there and His peace which He shall give you. Be refreshed in your spirit and know that you are so dearly loved, a child of His. Within you He is ever nourishing and guiding you in your soul development.
You are never alone in this walk with God. Walk with Him daily. Turn to Him not only in times of need, but also as you go about your daily tasks each day and when you stop to enjoy the beautiful bounty of all His creations about you. Remember the joy you experienced watching the wee ant carry his load to his nest and the trials he overcame in getting his load home? Simple things like this bring you closer to the Father. By analogy; the Father also watches over you and rejoices with you as you overcome your own trials and adversities on the way home.
There is so much you can learn from the world around you, if you are watchful and alert and let the Father share in your walk of life and teach you. Never forget how very much the Father loves each and every one of you. He is your Eternal Parent, your Father, and some day you will meet with Him face to face on His Eternal Isle of Paradise. Now in this time, you can commune with Him in the spirit and come to know Him as the loving Father He is of all His creatures, here also in the universes of time and space.
Remember our lesson regarding the plan of God? It is a sure plan of ascension set in motion for all God’s children in time and space to guide them on their way home and He has promised never to leave you nor forsake you on that long and adventurous journey, not now or in the future. Your faithful personal Adjuster will ever be with you, now and for all eternity. I leave you now to think on these things. Your ever faithful guide and teacher, Malcom
Session 3
July 9, 1999
ORAL TRANSMISSION at Judy Nyland’s home, Hamilton, Ont.
(Unfortunately Judy’s beautiful prayer could not be heard clearly for transcribing)
TARA: Our Father, we ask that you be here in our presence and bless what is to transpire. We give ourselves in dedication to your work and to your world. Do guide and direct us now. We are ever thankful for your love and tender kindness towards us. We ask that your teachers now come to us and teach us what is needful for us tonight. We thank you, Father.
[[TEACHERS: We are your teachers, Bertram, Malcom and Muriel.]]
TEACHERS: Greetings to you all. It is our pleasure to be with you this evening, to see you gathered here. We realize and appreciate the dedication of your being here, that you are aware of your calling and the need. Yes, it is indeed needful that you be here because we have put on your shoulders the duty and responsibility of leadership in this area. Do not be fearful of your calling. The task may seem enormous. “Where do we go from here?” This is what you are asking, what you are wondering, where the mission now stands, how can we do our part, how can we be more effective?
Little ones, realize that it is for us all to be responsible to the Teaching Mission that has been brought to us through and by Christ Michael. Each one has a part to play. Never fear because He is with each and every one. Always realize it is His work and we are His instruments on Urantia. He will direct you and guide you each and every day and in every way. We would only ask that you open your hearts and be humbled and dedicated to what we, His teachers, are doing, so you can see the overall picture of where this is all going. He desires that you to be leaders of His flock in this area for Him.
JUDY: Can I ask a question?
TEACHER: Yes, please do.
Health
JUDY: My question is should I continue in my craniosacral studies for the benefit for mankind?
TEACHER: Yes indeed Judy. It is much, much needed. This is a new area, a new study of science that many do not understand, and it is in complete harmony with the forces of nature, within the realm of God’s will. Can we ask why you doubt?
JUDY: I doubt perhaps because of my husband. Should I go ahead and think about myself and forget about him until the situation . …….., since that will be forth coming in due time?
TEACHER: I did not understand the last part clearly?
JUDY: The last part was I would just register and worry about the money part later.
TEACHER: We would ask you to have faith, Judy.
JUDY: O.K., thank you.
TEACHER: We do not want you to alienate your family from you, but it is a work of God you are doing, for you are showing a new way in a new area of healing. To this world, through those you meet, through those you care for, there will be realized a higher plane of learning and teaching. The physical being dwells not only on the physical plane but also on the mental and spiritual. From those areas do come all illness . ….When the spiritual and mental, emotional and also the will of mankind is out of balance and out of harmony, then due to these reasons, come all manner of illness to the physical body.
This is not well understood by this world today, in this age. You are breaking a new way, you are pioneering in your new chosen area of study, learning, teaching and service. Do not give up, Judy. Just as your work is in harmony with the forces, so must you look at your personal issue with your husband and with your financial circumstances as well, these too, will also come into harmony. As you do your work in faith, so go in faith that your relationship will be fine and that much understanding will come and that possibly the trip you are planning will bring more understanding between you and your loved one. Does this help?
JUDY: Yes, thank you very much, that is wonderful. I thank you.
TEACHER: You are welcome Judy. Does Lorne have a question?
Politics
LORNE: Yes. Should the students of the Urantia Book use the positive events happening in Europe, for example the political and economical unity that is taking place. The great humanitarian effort presently going on, on going, could this be an indication of the movement towards those great ideals as expressed in the Urmia Lectures, page 1485-1490 of the Urantia Book? Regarding spiritual sovereignty and political sovereignty?
TEACHER: Hmm! You ask much Lorne? First the present situation in Europe. Absolutely. There are many things happening on the world scene that you do not understand. Many forces are at work for good and evil. We only ask that you pray daily that the good forces will overcome that evil, that good will come out of any transaction that is taking place in Europe for the betterment of mankind on your planet Urantia.
Know that the overall drive is for total brotherhood and peace on earth. It can only be done through the physical human instruments that are called into these positions of leadership. Pray for their wisdom, that they will draw upon their inner guidance of their Thought Adjusters, for the Adjusters are working among these souls as well, as you well understand. We will see coming out of this strife and turmoil, better ways. Mankind is trying his best to raise and uplift himself, but he has not yet realized that the true answers that he needs is in the Urantia Book.
The papers that you mentioned could be of great benefit to these leaders if they would only have access to them, and if they would read them. What is happening and transpiring now may have to our eyes, your eyes, little results but in the long run, in the long term, progress will be made. If you look at the Kosovo problems that you just went through in Europe, horrendous as those situations are, goodness and justice is prevailing, if only in the sense that the world has united to send aid, and to be aware of such atrocities, how mankind can be so unkind and evil to one another, Lessons are being learned here. Organizations and associations, nations, internationally and globally are pulling together to right this wrong. Even the people there who were behind these misguided leaders are changing their ways and their attitudes. It’s hard for you to understand when something is transpiring, when you cannot see the overall picture of what is happening. We have told you so many times that Urantia is in good hands.
The Father loves each and everyone of His children, no matter where they are and no matter what the circumstances. So pray for one another, pray for the innocents, pray for their leaders, pray for the corrupt leaders, that they will have a change of heart, a new perspective. Never underestimate the blessing you have been given to see the overview of society, of the world, to see the global purpose, to see your universal, cosmic, eternal purpose in life.
All is evolving, all is going forward. We cannot disrupt what is laid in place, it would be too disruptive to the world if sudden change came. Change has to come through international effort, through local action, through personal action, through personal lives that must change. Change has to come from within each individual, each heart, one on one, one nation upon one nation. It must come forth through the human heart, through society, through communities, through towns, through villages, through nations.
Yes, change will come. The age of Light and Life will come. Just have faith that all is going according to plan, that Urantia indeed is in good hands and Christ Michael is overseeing all that is going on. Appreciate your part in this Teaching Mission for it is very unique among all universal efforts. Small as it is, but like a grain of mustard seed, it will grow. We are here to enlarge upon the Urantia Revelation, the Fifth Revelation brought to you. Has this helped? Is there anything further that is needful?
LORNE: That was very, very good. I am highly appreciative and I do have another question or two if you will take it?
TEACHER: Yes, thank you.
Urantia Movement
LORNE: We have been meeting and studying the Urantia Book continuously for twenty years. During that time many people have joined with us for varying periods of time and left. There has been no growth in numbers. We have tried at all times to let the message in the book speak for itself. Are we remiss in some way?
TEACHER: It is very timely you should ask this question, for Tara herself has been wondering about this very same thing and how as a group membership can be increased. What are you doing that is not conducive to growth? It is not that you are doing anything wrong. Could it be that you are seeking another level of service, of presenting this Revelation? Maybe it is time that you as leaders begin to inspire others on a personal level. You must ask yourself, when a new person comes to your meeting, what do they see? How can you shine forth and be a light to those little ones who come? How can you inspire the people there to study deeper? To be more dedicated and to speak out of what they believe when they leave you group and go on their way?
Maybe the place that you should start with your group, is to begin to teach the lessons of the “fruits of the spirit” so that each one can take home with them a new aspect, a new understanding, and a way of applying those fruits in their lives. As we have said so many times in these transmissions that this is the way we show forth that demonstration of righteousness, that is through our daily lives, in our daily living.
When someone comes, welcome them with open arms. We are not saying that you do not. But make them feel at home, that they have found something very, very special. Which it is! The perspective of this, from our side, is that the people brought to you will be brought to you as they are needful of your guidance and fellowship. Truly it is in our hands to inspire and lead those people to you. Your part is to be there and be true ambassadors of the Kingdom, that they may see your good works, your fruits of the spirit in your lives and come to know that you have something very special to offer them that they will grow and love also, the teachings that are there for them.
We would admonish you to go on as you are being faithful to your calling and what you have been called to do. We will guide you and lead you in the days ahead as you open your heart and listen to what we have to say and putting what we say into practice, for only then will you be able to be true leaders to guide these little ones in their search and in their growth. We would ask the three of you to be faithful and dedicated to your cause and calling. We will further guide you in the future.
JUDY: I have another question.
TEACHER: Yes.
Revelation
JUDY: I have been reading the books of “God Calling” and the issue of reincarnation is expounded in there disproportionately, and (not clearly heard) this information, won’t join Teaching Mission, that there is no such thing. Can I please have verification for this book makes me so confused about the way its explained and it seems so logical yet on the other hand we know about the cellular (not heard clearly). Could you care to explain? Thank you.
LORNE: I think that was “Conversations With God.”
JUDY: Oh, “Conversations With God.” I stand corrected. Thankyou, Lorne. Yes, it’s not “God Calling,” it’s “Conversations With God.”
TEACHER: Thank you Judy for your question. This is a big issue. I think the way to address this for you is to ask you to think about where these sources are coming from. There have been many, many books written which claim to be from God speaking or from Christ speaking or from the angels speaking. The book market is rampant with these so called inspired revelations. Why would it concern you when you have the true revelation. Can you not put this book aside and trust and have faith in the very true revelation which has been given to you?
JUDY: Yes, I can, but there seem to be more and more people being railroaded into this information, and so far I have been able to stand firm in faith. I’m sorry but this is become my belief and one has to make up their minds if they believe God and have faith.
TEACHER: You are absolutely correct, Judy. That is the shame of it when misrepresentation and untruths are taught because the innocents read and believe and then suffer because they are lead away from the truth. The Urantia Book has the truth and the world needs this book so much. These writings can sometime have their purpose because they are like “stepping stones” as you have experienced in you own life. They lead to truth but they are not complete truth and people are still left still wondering and questioning until they do find the truth and embrace it, and believe it. Then they realize that the Father does not intend for them to go backward, or to relive, or try to improve themselves over and over again on this earth.
You have teachers waiting for you when you pass over, when you advance to the morontia worlds. There these misconceptions will be straightened out and you will there learn and/or relearn the truth. There is in all these writings a touch or truth, a bit of truth here and there, which spark the inner soul. The Spirit of Truth and the Thought Adjuster in each individual is always working for the benefit of that person. The human mind is like a sponge, it takes in, it absorbs, it questions. But have faith that the Adjuster there is adjusting their thoughts and guiding them homeward. Each person is on their own and different path.
It’s not our responsibility, or your responsibility as mortals of the earth to, shall we say for you to dwell in fear of what people are learning because the Father is in charge; He is overseeing; it is the Gods who are overseeing this work. The very work of this planet is the work of their hands, evolution is ever evolving, if nothing else these literary works are making people aware that there is a God, a Father, that can be communicated with, that He’s personal? What would you say is the value that this book is presenting in it’s overall context? There may be parts here and parts there that you do not agree with but can not these people be inspired?
There may be grains of truth contained but not the whole truth and possibly when someone finally finds the Urantia Book, then they will know they have found the truth, and even that as you understand isn’t in it’s full completeness because you are given only what you are able to understand in each age, in each era that you live, that mortal man lives, as you grow and mature, become more scientific, more logical, more intelligent, able to understand the higher concepts yet to be delivered and taught.
This is evolutionary progression on the earth. So try not to be confused at what is happening with these books. You can think of many more that have such grains of truth that cause people to become more aware of certain truths but again we will remind you that you are all in good hands and that all is progressing as it should. What you need to do now is to be faithful in what you have been taught and then a light and teachers of the truth delivered to you. Stand firm in what you believe, in what the Urantia Book has to bring to the people in your group. Make sure they are grounded in the Truths of God and in what the future holds now and forever. Has that helped, Judy?
JUDY: Yes, that has helped. Thank you very much. I guess I will just allow them their view and I will stick to mine.
TEACHER: Yes indeed Judy, you know the truth in your heart. The essential program that Father has put in place is a forward program of perfection attainment, so do not step backwards in your faith.
JUDY: I won’t!
TEACHER: We know that you won’t, and you will stand firm………. (end of tape)
Session 4
July 15,1999
TARA: Is there a message for the Hamilton Study Group for tomorrow night?
BERTRAM: Yes, little one. We would send greetings to you all. It is with appreciation that we see you gathering on yet another humid evening. We would like to comment further on the transmission of Friday last. The question was brought forth as to how to increase group membership. What can you do as a group?
Naturally, it would go without saying to invite those who show interest to come and join in your fellowship and study. Many are indeed hungry for the spiritual nourishment contained in your text, the Urantia Book. We would encourage you to study a portion of this Revelation daily for your own soul growth and understanding. Then you would be better prepared to answer questions about the contents of the book when called upon. For you see you yourselves are called to be true Ambassadors of the Kingdom of God. Called to be demonstrations of righteousness and truth and love. Called to demonstrate spiritual brotherhood as the very Spirit born children of the Father.
It is the Father’s will that you show forth His “fruits of the spirit” in your daily lives even as manifested in the life of Christ Michael. It is most profitable for you to now study the Masters life and teachings revealed to you in this Fifth Revelation delivered into your hands at the close of this age. Continue on in your study here and in your private study periods.
Commune with Father in the stillness. Draw close to Him in your prayers and have faith and trust in the truth being revealed to you. Daily practice the “fruits of the spirit.” Study them and make them a daily part of your life.
Blessed are you to have this knowledge. Come to realize what a great blessing it is to have this understanding and access to this Revelation now in your lives at the close of this century. You are indeed pioneers, leading the way, showing the way to truth and enlightenment by your daily lives. Each of you have your part to play on your own stage of life. Let the life lived by Jesus be an inspiration for you. “Life is but a day’s work; do it well.” Do the best you can according to your calling and faith. Then when you are asked you can respond and guide your brothers into study and fellowship with you of the most precious knowledge revealed to mankind today on Urantia. I leave you for now to think on these things. Your teacher and guide, Bertram.
Session 5
Tragedy
July 23, 1999
TARA: I could not sleep. I woke thinking about the Kennedy tragedy of this past week. Why? Such beautiful people with such great potential for the betterment of the earth. It seems only so short a time we also lost Princess Diana. Why do some families seem to suffer more than others?
BERTRAM: First we send our greetings to you, little one. We have long desired to be in contact with you. We admonish you all to be mindful of your calling, to be dedicated to the trust extended to you as a worker in the fields of the Master. There is much work to be done and we are all well pleased with the plans now being laid for the leadership of your group into the study of the “fruits of the spirit.” This is much needed at this time for your faith and soul development. Trials will surely come upon each and every one of you as you progress through this life in your mortal flesh. Such trials of life, as you have been privy to this past week, comes upon each and every family. The Kennedy family have been a stalwart example to the world of faith in the Father’s love, and of family love and unity.
Why do such tragedies occur? First realize, it is not in our realm, indeed, not our responsibility to sit in judgement of circumstances surrounding such an unfortunate tragedy. The Father has, indeed, given into the hands of man his own and sovereign free will. This mandate is never violated. Natural circumstances, misguidance, immaturity, unpreparedness, unexpected events can all conspire and come together to produce tragedy and unfortunately the innocent suffer in their involvement. “Being in the wrong place at the wrong time” Indeed, are you admonished to be “wise as serpents and gentle as doves.”
Be yourself prepared for the future as much as possible, even as we have admonished you before. Natural events, such as fierce storms and floods, tornadoes, earthquakes, landslides, extreme winter weather all have to be prepared for as much as possible. Common sense must prevail in all your human endeavors. There is always the law of “cause and effect” in action. Every action has a reaction, for good or for bad. Do you understand?
Never, never doubt the love of the Father for these little ones who perished together this week, or for any of His children anywhere. Do we need remind you of the tragedies in Kosovo of such recent months? Such pain and suffering, human inflicted upon fellow humans is indeed felt around the world and rises even to our realm. When will mankind learn to use his free will for the betterment of his world and not for its continual destruction? This is where the heart of the matter lies. There must be a willful change in the human heart towards a more peaceful nature, away from its more prevalent animalistic behaviors.
Only —
- When the love of God is sown abroad in the hearts of mankind, will world peace come.
- When all realize that they are brothers.
- When they all worship and love one Universal Father.
- When they place full sovereignty into the government of God over all the earth.
Such an awakening is indeed coming. The dawn of a new age is upon you, but much work needs to be done. More workers are needed in the harvest fields of the Master. These are just not flowery sentiments. Your dedication and love and efforts are indeed needed.
Therefore be faithful and prepare yourselves daily for the tasks ahead no matter what it is you are each called to do.
Preparation, dedication and loving service are your present goals today. I leave you now to meditate on this message. Feed the flock. Your teacher, Bertram.
