January 1, 2000
BERTRAM: I am Bertram, here with all your teachers; MuriEL, Malcom, and a multitude of hosts, who are also here present, to welcome you now into this new year, this new millennial age of progress and correcting. Welcome children, welcome once more into this new age which has now fully begun to manifest itself into the thought concepts of all Urantians worldwide. May it be a new beginning, with renewed hope for a renewed planet progressing ever forward into the age of Light and Life.
We are indeed pleased to also welcome you at this new threshold to new phases of this teaching mission now firmly established upon Urantia. All has been in preparation, all is progressing as it should world wide.
Michael is indeed pleased with your efforts to launch his Mission during this Correcting Time and he calls upon us all now to rededicate ourselves to the work he has proposed. A mighty work which will indeed sow the seeds over all Urantia and bring in a mighty harvest of willing souls which will carry your planet into an age of unprecedented enlightenment. The world is hungry and seeking for truth, for beauty and goodness. The people of all nations on this beautiful planet desire peace and harmony and safety and prosperity for all it’s billions of inhabitants. For that brief time, as January 1st , 2000 swept around the world, the world sang in harmony and hope for the future. That song was indeed heard on high and the celestials hosts sang with you in the hopes, and in the dreams and in the anticipation of a brave new world of love and peace.
We are here indeed to assist Michael, to assist Machiventa, to assist Abraham in this Teaching Mission. We are your teachers assigned to your realm, to your arena of service where you are. We have come from afar to guide you and to lead you into all truth, beauty, and goodness, to indeed set you on the right path of love and light that leads to your Father, who waits to embrace you on your Paradise home. Accept now this basic truth that we are here now, that your planet is not forgotten, nor are you, his children. Each one is precious in his sight and the Father dearly loves each and everyone of you. Bring the realization of your brotherhood, worldwide and even cosmically, into your realm of understanding.
Your course of instruction now offered by MuriEl is so very important to your spiritual growth and understanding, not only for your present lives in the flesh but for all your eternal career as a glorious Sons of God, for indeed does the son ever reflect the attributes of the Father. Christ Michael did indeed set you that perfect example while he was here in the flesh with all Nebadon looking on. He did not come just for your sake but for all his children in all systems and constellations.
The circuits are now open and new light, new knowledge, is flooding your planet as I so recently related to you. All is in progress to lead your beautiful planet out of its present darkness and into a new age of enlightenment. But indeed must you all do your part as called, inspired and directed. Indeed must it all be according to your own free will of offering yourselves in loving service to your brothers and indeed to yourself, doing what you can to correct and bring healing to your many and several inflictions in your personal lives, but yes as a world community also.
Reflect upon the lesson in December. Though your planet indeed suffers from the pollution of all its resources and the human mechanisms are indeed weakened from years of even deliberate or negligent acts of its so called leaders, there is indeed hope and stirring among your people to change and unite for the betterment of all mankind. You are coming out of darkness brought on by the [UB 67:0.1 ] The Caligastia Betrayal|defaults of your original Planetary Prince]] and your Material Son and Daughter and the consequences of being in isolation until the time of the Lucifer Adjudication.
Now it is time to move forward. MuriEl is now prepared to continue on with her lessons, with the opening of the new year, now that her foundational lessons have been presented. Christ Michael sends his love and blessings upon you all. Your teacher and guide in his service, I am Bertram, under the administrative authority of Christ Michael and Machiventa Melchezedek.
Session 2
January 6, 2000 — “Fruits of the Spirit” Lesson # 7
TARA: Is there a new message regarding the continuation of our lessons of the fruits of the spirit?
MURIEL: Yes indeed my child. It is needful that we now continue on in our lessons, continue on in our loving service to you as called and directed. We have now laid six foundational lessons for you leading into the next lessons to come. If you are willing we will now continue. Today you were lead to save references to a passage from the Urantia Book regarding a conversation that Jesus had with his disciple, Andrew. Copy and paste…..now. At one of the evening conferences, Andrew asked Jesus: ” Master, are we to practice self-denial as John taught us, or are we to strive for the self-control of your teaching?
Wherein does your teaching differ from that of John? ” Jesus answered: ” John indeed taught you the way of righteousness in accordance with the light and laws of his fathers, and that was the religion of self-examination and self-denial. But I come with a new message of self-forgetfulness and self-control. I show to you the way of life as revealed to me by my Father in heaven. [UB 143:2.2]
” Verily, verily, I say to you, he who rules his own self is greater than he who captures a city. Self-mastery is the measure of man’s moral nature and the indicator of his spiritual development. In the old order you fasted and prayed; as the new creature of the rebirth of the spirit, you are taught to believe and rejoice. In the Father’s kingdom you are to become new creatures; old things are to pass away; behold I show you how all things are to become new. And by your love for one another you are to convince the world that you have passed from bondage to liberty, from death into life everlasting. [UB 143:2.3]
” By the old way you seek to suppress, obey, and conform to the rules of living; by the new way you are first transformed by the Spirit of Truth and thereby strengthened in your inner soul by the constant spiritual renewing of your mind, and so are you endowed with the power of the certain and joyous performance of the gracious, acceptable, and perfect will of God. Forget not—it is your personal faith in the exceedingly great and precious promises of God that ensures your becoming partakers of the divine nature. Thus by your faith and the spirit’s transformation, you become in reality the temples of God, and his spirit actually dwells within you. If, then, the spirit dwells within you, you are no longer bondslaves of the flesh but free and liberated sons of the spirit.
The new law of the spirit endows you with the liberty of self-mastery in place of the old law of the fear of self-bondage and the slavery of self-denial. [UB 143:2.4]
The new law of the spirit endows you with the liberty of self-mastery in place of the old law of the fear of self-bondage and the slavery of self-denial.” For our lesson today, I have selected and as you have surmised from the quotation above is FAITH and CONFIDING TRUST. We have stated in our foundational lessons, it is of utmost importance that you understand in faith and with confiding trust — from whom ALL originates, with the recognition of your Eternal Paradise Father, and his co-creators — Eternal Son and Infinite Spirit; with the recognition of the Creator of your Universe of Nebadon, your FATHER Christ Michael and his co-creator Nebadonia, your local universe Mother Spirit.
Yes, it is your personal FAITH in the exceeding great and precious promises of God that ensures YOUR BECOMING PARTAKERS OF THE DIVINE NATURE. Herein must you have your confiding trust and faith as a little child in the word of it’s divine parents.
Only as you trust and believe in the promises of the Father, in the message brought to you by his Son Jesus, your local universe Father, can you begin to experience the renewed transforming of you minds, with the acceptance of the love and will of the Father into your life and thereby manifest his divine Fruits of the Spirit in your lives.
Jesus also told his Philip, ” I have come into this world to do the will of my Father and to reveal his loving character to all mankind. That, my brethren, is my mission. And this one thing I will do, regardless of the misunderstanding of my teachings by Jews or gentiles of this day or of another generation. But you should not overlook the fact that even divine love has its severe disciplines. A father’s love for his son oftentimes impels the father to restrain the unwise acts of his thoughtless offspring. The child does not always comprehend the wise and loving motives of the father’s restraining discipline. But I declare to you that my Father in Paradise does rule a universe of universes by the compelling power of his love.
Love is the greatest of all spirit realities. Truth is a liberating revelation, but love is the supreme relationship. And no matter what blunders your fellow men make in their world management of today, in an age to come the gospel which I declare to you will rule this very world. The ultimate goal of human progress is the reverent recognition of the fatherhood of God and the loving materialization of the brotherhood of man……..but you are the first volunteers of a long line of sincere believers in the gospel of this kingdom who will astonish all mankind by their heroic devotion to these teachings. [UB 143:1.4] [UB 143:1.5] [UB 143:1.7]
If you, and indeed your world, are to progress forward, into enlightenment, into Light and Life, there must be confiding trust in God in his plan and the purposes he proposes for all his children in time and space, and a living faith in the true gospel message of Christ Michael, which he brought to you and taught to you during his bestowal on earth. There is a Divine Plan in progress.
Read [UB 32:5.1] in your text carefully. We have provided it for you in this lesson.
We have an eternal destiny as CHILDREN, as BROTHERS and SISTERS, in the eternal FAMILY OF GOD. It is important that you learn to love one another as family, globally and in your future destiny, cosmically. Develop now “the fruit of confiding trust” in your divine parents, in the truth set before you now to set you free as liberated Sons of God, no more shackled by the burdensome concepts of evolutionary religion. The Spirit of Truth shall surely set you free and set your feet firmly on the path of your ascension career of finding the Father on Paradise. Let faith and confiding trust in the Father’s love for you, be your guide day by day.
We will close this lesson now. Study together what has now been presented. Freely discuss together how you can practice confiding trust and faith in your daily life, while rejoicing in the great and sure promises of your future destiny as God’s children, ever developing and manifesting his divine spiritual qualities in your lives as you ascend homeward. I am here in the service of our Fathers’ in the teaching and nurturing of their children here, who have come of their own free will to partake of the banquet feast now set out before them. Your teacher and co-associate of Bertram, MuriEL.

TARA: Is there a message for this evening?
BERTRAM: It is Bertram here this evening, little one. It is indeed my pleasure to be with you this evening. Do not feel down hearted. We understand that you are seeking direction and trying to understand what kind of structure must needs be in place if we are to continue on in this mission here in our arena of service. You need only come to us and we will most certainly direct you. You need not be concerned because we know whereof we have been taught and directed. It is only for you to be willing and to set aside the proper amount of time for our periods of communication with you. Be willing and allow it to transpire naturally. It is our desire that you set aside sufficient time on a regular basis, perhaps at a regular time of day when you know that you will not be interrupted for the duration of the transmission. You are developing your typing and computer skills sufficiently now and soon the thrill and novelty of your new computer will begin to wear off and we will settle into a regular program.
My base is indeed scattered some what, but we will accomplish our mission here. MuriEL is eager to continue on with her lessons. Malcom is here to assist you personally with any of your concerns. I must caution you not to fall into the error of comparing our work here with that of others. Each mission base is different with different needs at different times and each base is evolving at different rates of progress and at different levels of attainment. We will commence our lessons now on a more regular basis. We realize there was much apprehension regarding the turn of the new millennium as you count time and the great fears of many did not materialize. You have indeed begun a new era upon Urantia and great and wondrous accomplishments will manifest in the coming 1000 yrs.. stretching out before you.
Do not doubt your calling now and the work we will all accomplish together as Michael’s mission goes forward unified under his leadership. The work that we do, that you do will not be in vain. Many will be called to also be sowers of seeds, planters of ideas and ideals that will change your world. Indeed must you trust and set your will and your desire to do the Father’s will in all you endeavours in loving service to all his children born and yet to be born. The work that we do in Michael’s present emergency mission, will indeed be a blessing to all of God’s children in the ages to come upon Urantia.
So do not lose hope, lose faith. Trust and we will lead you according to the Father’s will in all your loving service for him to be leaders, training leaders who will lead their planet home into the age of Light and Life. This is our calling, your calling, to be the true shepherds to the flocks of the Master. I am ever your teacher and guide, Bertram – here on Urantia, in association with esteemed teachers, MuriEL and Malcom.
Session 4
January 15, 2000 — “Fruits of the Spirit” Lesson # 8
TARA: Can I be of service this morning?
MURIEL: Good morning dear child, it is MuriEL here with you this early winter morning. It has pleased me to see that in your study of your text this morning you have been studying the divine qualities and purposes of the Eternal Son and his Creator Sons, of the order of Michael, from whom is the origin of your very own Paradise Son – Christ Michael, Jesus of Nazareth. I have endeavored in these lessons now progressing, to guide you in an understanding – first of your Eternal First Source and Center and his divine qualities of personality and character, his divine attributes and nature; but also his divine purpose for all his children in time and space. To truly desire to do the Father’s will and to strive to fulfill his divine mandate to his children of time and space, to “become perfect as he is perfect,” it was needful that you understand WHAT you are striving for and WHY.
Second it was needful for you to understand the avenue of achieving that transformation of mind and edification of spirit within you, that is, how you are to achieve such spiritual growth in the producing of these divine qualities and attributes within your own developing morontia soul. That approach, the only true and final approach is through his divine Sons, both resident on Paradise and his descending Sons, come down to you into time and space, to reveal the Universal Father to you. For indeed if you have seen the Son, you have seen the Father, for they are indeed one.
Their purpose, their plan for you is an ascension plan of great magnitude and adventure. It is an eternal plan that begins here and takes you to the very portals of Paradise, to the very presence of your Paradise Parents! If you are to become spiritized children of the Eternals, then you must indeed develop spiritual qualities in your surviving morontial souls worthy of eternal sonship! My children this is why we have impressed upon you to study the life and teachings of your Master Son, Christ Michael in your text. You now have in your possession a near day by day account of his bestowal mission on your planet, his beloved Urantia in your Urantia Book. We are indeed pleased to see your group study of this portion of your text. Do continue on. Learn of him and in confiding trust allow his Spirit of Truth to transform and renew your minds, producing indeed the very “Fruits of the Spirit” in your daily lives.
I also urged you to seek the Father in the stillness daily. Draw close and commune with him there, for he indeed hears you and is there within you and you shall find him there to love and comfort and uphold you and strengthen you in your desire to do his will.
Have confidence and trust in him as a little child, believing and trusting, for he will not let you fail. There is no power in heaven and earth that can impede your progress or take from you your eternal destiny except your own free will of choice of final refusal of son ship.
In confiding trust share all your problems and difficulties and trials and disappointments for he hears you and he understands all and is your ever present help and sure guidance in dealing with all your temporal trials of living now in the flesh. He also ever delights in sharing with you in all you joy of achievements and accomplishments of worthwhile pursuits that have spiritual value that edify your soul growth. He loves you and delights in your free will gift to him of desiring to do his will in your lives daily and so producing his very lovable and adorable qualities in your own lives.
“By their fruits you shall know them.” Yes it is true — by your very fruits of his spirit in your lives will men know that you are indeed children of the true and living God, and these fruits are manifest in your confiding trust and love for one another; in your daily loving service to all your brothers and sisters whom you should chance to meet in your daily walk of life beginning here on Urantia and indeed throughout all your ascending career to Paradise.
I was indeed pleased to see you further expand upon my lesson on confiding trust with the lessons from Teacher Tomas. Indeed we are to, and it is planned that we will incorporate his lessons in concert together as proposed. Would you share now your experiences of confiding trust and faith, over the last month in your interactions with your family and friends and associates. Often times you do not realize the most certain and continual growth that is taking place daily in your lives and it is indeed good to focus upon such interactions and progress made. If you have any questions I am now available to answer all as you desire and are willing. Your present teacher and guide in these discourses of the fruits of the spirit, MuriEL

TARA: My teachers, is there a message for us this evening? It seems like so many of God’s children are going through so many trials lately including myself and I have found it harder to stay focused. Do you have any comments that could help us to understand what is happening and why the trials seem to be so severe?
MALCOM: It is Malcom here this evening. Our little one, do not be dismayed at all that is happening in and around you and even at your door. Did we not tell you that such trials would be upon you and at your very door, indeed. These trials are indeed for your own soul growth as are all the trials and afflictions suffered by the children of men and indeed the children of God. But be of good cheer for you are indeed privy to the foreknowledge and of the overview of why all this must come to pass for you are indeed in the confusing and tumultuous times of the fore warned Correcting Times to come upon Urantia. All has been progressing according to the plans of our Father Michael and you have nothing to fear.
The Father chastises all those he loves, but as a loving Father, not in punishment or in wrath, NO. Only as the old is brought up and rooted out is the way made clear to receive new knowledge and understanding, then are the blocks to growth dissolved asunder.
Indeed you must here develop confiding trust in the love and guidance of your eternal parents. Then can you manifest confiding trust in your brothers and sisters and they in you as you cope with and solve the trying difficulties which you all face together. Always seek to comprehend the higher overview of why such trials are necessary for each and every one of you. Many such trials will be endured and corrections made by all mankind as you ever draw nearer to the age of Light and Life. It will not happen over night or in the twinkling of an eye. Recall the previous lessons we have given you. It is only asked of you that you ever draw closer to the Father in the stillness and come to know him and experience his love for you.
Be ever willing to experience the divine transformation of your mind as you submit your will to his divine will. There is no other gift more worthy than this that pleases the Father as this one precious offering as a trusting loving child. Only in this way can he bring forth and manifest in you the divine fruits of his spirit as you are spiritized into your divine destiny as true and perfected sons of God., finally made perfect in his image, perfect as he is perfect. For now realize your present imperfections and work out your own salvation as he guides, directs and upholds you in all your trials, your birthing pains of spirit renewal and growth. So be of good cheer, we are here also to aid and assist all who are willing and to ever offer to you our love and support. You can call on us at any time and we will hear. A personal teacher is here for each and every child of God who so desires his teacher. One need only ask. I leave you now to think on these things. Your teacher and guide, Malcom.
