Urantia Book
February 19, 1999
TARA: Is there a message for the Hamilton Study Group for this evening?
BERTRAM: Yes indeed, little one! We thank you for your inquiry. We rejoice to see you gather so faithfully each month and we thank your brothers and sisters who open their homes for you all to meet in warmth and comfort, there to share in the reading of your text and to share in true brotherly fellowship in the spirit. We would encourage you each and every one, to continue in your personal studies of the “fruits of the spirit.” The Father wills that you each grow in these spiritual qualities, so as to shine as an example to those you meet each day in your daily walk of life.
The Spirit of the Father dwelling within each of you wishes to experience your life with you. Just as you experience the Father within, so does He experience you. As you go about your daily activities, walk with the Father and rejoice with the Father, and express His love to all in loving service no matter how small your service may seem to you. Even a smile to your brother is a service; a helping hand to the elderly; a playful jester to a child. All are indwelt by the Father’s spirit; all are your brothers and sisters in the flesh and in the spirit. Communicate with and enjoy and love one another! Freely express the Father’s love to all.
The year is marching on and there is much work to be done in the spreading of the good news of the gospel that our Father/Michael brought to your planet two thousand years ago. Now He has given you His Fifth Revelation for your growth, knowledge and enlightenment. It will be the most significant book on the planet in the years and ages to come.
It is for your generation to keep alive this revelation, to translate it into multiple languages, maintain its purity of content, to study it and gain from it deeper and deeper understanding of the Father’s will and purpose for you now, and in the next phases of your ascension to Paradise. It is the Father’s will that you become examples of His righteousness, of His truth, of His love in all your relationships, truly you are students and teachers of the true way, not only by what you say, but indeed, by your actions and the life you live.
Continue faithfully to:
- Read your text and spend time with the Father in the stillness each day.
- Ask for His guidance and direction in all you activities, so that you will find support and help and strength to preform all, as worthy Children of the Father, which you are!
- Seek ways to further the work of the Father right where you are, each in your own special way.
- Be alert and you will see the guiding hand of the Father, leading you daily.
- Be courageous and step forward out of your “comfort zones.”
The Master stands beside you and His Spirit of Truth will guide you. Trust and have faith that this is true indeed. We most certainly do “live and move and have our being in the Father.” All was made by Him in love, to share all with us, His children on all His worlds of time and space. You have a great and magnificent journey ahead of you, one you could never begin to imagine in this lifetime!
Our Christ Michael came to you the way. Read and study the revelations of His life and His teachings as revealed by the Midwayer Commission in your text. I have given you much to think on, so I will stop for now, expressing to you my dedication to you, in this service of love to you in the service of the Father. I am your teacher, Bertram
Session 12
February 22, 1999
TARA: Why do I feel so lethargic? And doubting? Why am I resisting so much? I feel the urge to meet with you and yet I hold back. Why? I feel so tired and downhearted these last few days and I idle away my time. Please direct me.
MALCOM: Our little one, we know you have been through a lot lately. Your body has been through quite an ordeal and you have not rested as you should have, even in the hospital. You need proper rest and nourishment and a restful mind dwelling in the Father’s peace. Your energy is low and feeling downcast, you have had much time to think on the darker side.
Raise your head and take in a deep breath. Tonight, before bed, go into the silence and commune there with the Father and be refreshed and renewed. Tomorrow review your diet and look to how you can eat more wholesomely. Less of the coffee and caffeine. Less salt in your diet. Your pressure was high this morning and was the cause of your headache and your headaches of late.
This message is just for you. You must regain your balance and begin to see clearly once more. You strive to understand. We want you to feel more, and this you will achieve in the stillness with the Father. Listen to us for we love you, the Father loves you, Christ Michael, of course, loves you and is here and wishes to have a word with you.
MICHAEL: “My child, you are most dear to my heart. I am truly here beside you, always can you call upon me and I will hear. You are my dear and beloved child in the Kingdom of my Father. I have need of your loving service in the feeding of my flock. I will surely help you to be strong and courageous in your service to the Father. Little one, feed my sheep.
Be willing and open to the leadings and the guidance of all my servants, my teachers, I have sent to you, to enlarge upon my revelation for your understanding. They too, are called and chosen for this Teaching Mission and have volunteered to come to you, on my beloved planet, Urantia. They are here to assist in guiding you into all truth so that you can more fully understand my ways and my teachings which I brought to you during my sojourn with you.
Continue in your studies and grow in knowledge and grace. You are progressing indeed, as you should. Don’t doubt but be strong in the faith, in the ways I have shown you. Be of good cheer. I am with you always even unto the end of your sojourn here and even in your glorious ascension home. I have prepared a place for you, you need not fear. You are never alone even in your darkest hours in your flesh.
Now be at peace, seek the Father in the stillness so we can commune with you there and bless you and give you peace of mind and body and soul. You are most beloved and I leave you now in the care of my angels of mercy, love and peace. May the Father’s arms enfold you and give you rest and peace this night. My peace be with you, Michael.”
MALCOM: There is absolutely nothing I can add. Take your rest now and rejoice and be thankful for the love and kindness shown to you this night. Your loving friend and teacher Malcom.
Session 13
Truth
February 25, 1999
TARA: Good morning! I have had a feeling that there is something you want us to know. The thought has been ringing in my head that, “the truth shall set you free.” Is that what you want to communicate, for in truth, since I have been reading the Urantia Book, I have felt free in thought of mind and actions in my daily life? This sense of freedom and clarity feels so great!
BERTRAM: I am your teacher Bertram, coming to assist you in your thought patterns this fine snowy morning. It is my pleasure to be with you in this manner once more. Yes indeed, little one, growth in the spirit, in the “fruits of the spirit,” contribute to a new found sense of freedom in the mind and in the spirit, which do indeed translate into new actions and deeds which you would never have dare tried before. This is what the Master was referring to when he taught you regarding “the renewing of your minds” by the power of His Spirit of Truth.
Indeed, the Spirit of Truth does lead you into all truth, if you yield to it in your willingness to be guided by it. An open and child-like mind attitude can be taught, but a rebellious and closed mind is, indeed, a rocky place to sow seeds of truth. Remember the Masters much quoted parable of the sower? These precious seeds of truth need the right conditions in which to sprout and grow into full realization, which eventually leads to the full fruition of God Consciousness and actions of loving service.
Your evolving and awakening soul within needs daily nourishment in the truth of God’s revelation to you, and so do we ever advise you to continue in your studies of the Fifth Revelation sent to you by the authority of Christ Michael Himself! He has not only shown you His truth, that portion understandable by you now in this age, He has also sent His Teaching Mission to aid you in that understanding. We your teachers are here to serve you in love, desiring only your soul growth in faith in the “truths of God” and the resulting growth in the “fruits of the spirit,” which soon become the natural outgrowth of living and loving in your daily, transformed lives. This transformation is indeed that new found freedom of which you spoke.
It is rewarding sight for us to behold, and indeed, all your heavenly helpers agree, when we see an evolving child of God come to the realization of their sense of being set free!
- When they come to realize that they do live in a loving and friendly universe and have absolutely nothing to fear.
- When they realize all is going according to plan, that there is indeed a divine plan in action, and that they are not forgotten, even while reeling and rocking on a planet which seems to be on a certain course of destruction.
- When they realize they are loved and adored by their Heavenly Fathers and that they will for their children’s success and achievement in finding them, in spirit and in reality.
- When they realize salvation is assured if they keep on in faith, in their earnest and sincere pursuit of it.
- When they realize that death is not the end but only the beginning, second stage so to speak.
- When they realize that all the trials and struggles of life are not in vain, but are actually there for soul growth.
- When they realize that life can be lived with an appreciation of truth, beauty, and goodness.
Yes, yes, yes indeed are you set free! Set free from the shackles of superstition, feelings of isolation, despair, depression, darkness, helplessness, loneliness, fearfulness.
Not only are you coming into a personal era of light and life, of enlightenment but also lightness! Christ Michael, Himself said, His yoke was easy and His burden was light. Do you not understand now, a little more about the truth setting you free? For, now indeed, is your life free, and light and joyful and more happy, with purpose and direction and clarity of destiny. Daily difficulties are viewed now as challenges to overcome, and growth to be achieved.
You see, for in understanding yourself and God’s plan for all His children and your part in that plan, there comes that peace of mind that we do indeed, “live and move and have our being in Him!” It is indeed a wonderful age in which you are now living, even with all its difficulties, but you can make a difference.
So again I admonish you, be ever faithful and true to what you are being taught and continue to grow in the “fruits of the spirit” so that they will become a natural part of you life and personality and will so continue with you always as you ascend home. I am ever in your service, in the loving service of Christ Michael, our sovereign and Lord. Ever your teacher and friend, Bertram.
Session 14
February 26, 1999
TARA: Is there a new message for us today?
MALCOM: Yes, little one. We see you are in preparation of a trip to your old home town. Last night you were contemplating how you were staying in too much these winter days and “how can I be of service shut away like this.” You welcomed the new day with thanksgiving, in anticipation of the upcoming trip and adventure of service there. Reluctant you are to leave your cozy little nest called “home” just the same. But you are venturing out of your “comfort zone!” This is good for you, indeed. Oftentimes, we too, will ask you to venture into your outer environments of safety and security in the service of your brothers and sisters.
The dear ones you seek to help now do, indeed, appreciate your coming to assist. There is great need there, so go forward in faith and with the assurance we are all by your side to assist and will aid you in all your endeavors of loving service to this family and to your friend. We will still be in contact with you by the “old” method of hand written communication. Now you will have a splendid opportunity to put into practice what you have learned all winter. We will surely strengthen and uphold you.
Enjoy your sojourn and will to be that “demonstration of righteousness” to your friends and a now nearby support to your friend Cheryl. She surely needs your love and support just now. Sharing will be a greater part of your stay. Share what you have learned from us and, of course, from your text. Share with enthusiasm and love the higher way of life in which you live now, expressing the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. What better goal can any of us have than to bend back and share and teach what we have learned? Indeed this is what we are doing when we volunteered for this service to you, God’s children on Urantia, living with us in time and space. Let service be the delight of your life, for indeed, you do now live in conscious awareness of your willful service for the Father.
This is going to be a short transmission as we see you are busy in preparation and your lift will be coming soon. Remember practice daily and watch for response. The right words will be given you in your service to those you love. Trust, having confiding trust in us and the guidance of the Father fragment within. He will surely direct you in all your ways, words and actions of loving service.
Your friend and teacher, Malcom
Session 15
Nutrition
March 1, 1999
TARA: Is there a message tonight? I feel prompted to listen tonight and to be of service.
MALCOM: Yes, little one. We are pleased to be with you once more. How are you enjoying your new environment, being back in your old home town for this short stay of service? You will do well and we know you are looking forward to your visit tomorrow with your dear friend who lives here. Your conversation tonight, “the eating of flesh,” we would like to comment.
It is, most certainly, necessary that you eat well and be nourished in your flesh. Your physical mechanism is, indeed, needful for the resting place of your evolving soul, for the indwelling sphere of activity for the Father’s spirit fragment within you. It is His temple. He desires that you have an efficient, and well functioning vehicle for His indwelling so that He can dwell within you and efficiently guide you and communicate with you as you will to do His will.
As long as there is life, He is there within you, your constant faithful and loving guide and companion, who, in conjunction with the Spirit of Truth, guides you into all truth regarding His will for you. And He wills for you a long and healthy and pain free life of service and love to all His children. Therefore you have need of a good strong, robust, energy filled, efficient system in which to live and serve and have your being.
In your mortal flesh, you need sufficient nourishment for all your several cellular systems and organisms. As your friend so correctly explained, this evening, your mortal physical needs are not being met as efficiently as in decades past due to pollution, depleting soil conditions, and adulteration of your food resources. It is presently difficult for you to meet your complete nutritional requirements without supplementation and indeed, divine intervention.
Natural supplementation is indeed necessary, but also do not forget the asking of blessing upon your food intake for further purification and cleansing and in your prayer of thanksgiving, for the preparation of your body for its efficient intake and utilization within the cells of your nutritional offerings.
Remember, you do not live in isolation, for all is connected in energy grids and systems that you are now only beginning to understand, in the infancy of your growing knowledge of such science. With regards to the eating of flesh, that must be a personal choice and volition, what rings true within your own heart and soul. Current and past traditions and customs of many and diverse cultures dictated such practices of both prohibition and excess.
Mankind has always, and continues to have free will choice over his life, which is ever supreme, whether his choices are to his betterment or detriment. With his growth in faith comes wisdom in his choices. It is for you not to judge your brother’s path but to love and embrace him as your brother in the family of God.
It is not what one eats that defiles spiritually but negative and rebellious attitudes and thoughts and words out of his mouth that lead to corruption and sin. This you have heard before, but maybe now you can grasp a deeper understanding of what the Master teaches.
It is correct to live every aspect of your life in balance and in a wholesome manner, physically, mentally and spiritually. All systems interact to produce health and wholeness of mind, body and spirit.
Indeed have you been taught that this life in the mortal flesh is not the end of your life. Your new morontia body will be nourished much differently, and of course, these current issues will be of no import with the shedding of the old temporary tabernacle at the end of your mortal life. Yes, your soul quality, personality and individuality with its thoughts, values and meanings of truth, goodness and beauty are all important and do go on.
The essence of you and your ideals, your faith is what is important and needs your attention now, but that is not to say that you should do any less in the care and maintenance of your physical body, for that too is a wondrous and marvelous gift to you, in service to you in the mortal life. It is in this arena that your develop the higher levels of your being. So will to do and to be His will. Your life is but a days work, do it well and be well. May this help to clarify the issues brought forth this evening and deepen your understanding. I am ever your teacher, companion and friend, Malcom.
Session 16
March 3, 1999
TARA: Is there a message this afternoon?
MALCOM: Yes, our little one, we are glad to be with you once more sharing with you your arena away from home. (Long pause) You seem to be having some difficulty coming on line this afternoon. We would say relax and just let our thoughts flow into your realm. This message is sent to encourage you and to inspire you in your service for the Father and for Christ Michael. Need there ever be doubt now, since your personal transmission recently from our sovereign, Michael Himself?
Yes, you are indeed loved, and much needed in this Teaching Mission, Michael’s Mission! You who are involved in this mission are called to be teachers and leaders, “showers of the way,” especially in your daily loving service to others. We understand you long to be home again and are looking forward to your meeting this month and your visit with Gerdean and meeting with her teachers. It is good that you are studying the transcripts in preparation, getting to know these personalities more intimately. One moment please.
MERIUM: My dear, here let me fluff your pillows. I see your discomfort little one. You have indeed been through very much lately and I am here to tell you to relax, slow down, enjoy yourself. Let the sunshine in, the fresh air, enjoy good food, nourishment and drink. Remember to play a little. All work can make for a dull little spark indeed! Let healing enfold you and restore your energy.
We look forward to meeting with you, in company with your brothers and sisters come to commune and visit with us. Until then, I bid you continued healing in body and renewing in spirit. Welcome to our Mission. A great service do we endeavor to accomplish for the Father, for our Father/Brother Creator Michael and loving Nebadonia. Now I bid you farewell, healing, rest and peace. Merium.
TOMAS: This is Tomas here. It has been our pleasure to step in this wintery, snowy afternoon to brighten your day and bring you salutations and comfort and words of welcome to the Teaching Mission.
We are indeed aware of your growing adeptness at transmitting/receiving of teachers, Bertram and Malcom. The work you are enlisted in, is much needed in your area and we welcome you into the harvest fields of our Master Michael. You are bringing a loving service to your brothers and sisters in your arena on Urantia. The process of T/Ring is a wonderful way of communing and one must step out in faith and open their minds and hearts and mouths (in time little one).
You too, will become adept audibly. You will do fine. Sincerity and willingness are key to success. It is our pleasure to acknowledge you, little one, and welcome you into our growing corps of T/Rs around the world, into this most unique mission of the Master. We look forward to our meeting in a few weeks hence. We bid you now farewell and a good day, Tomas
BERTRAM: Little one, be not surprised that you have indeed, transmitted Merium and Tomas. Have they not told you through Gerdean that this is indeed possible? You have now grown past doubt or any sense of disbelief. Did not our Master, Himself come to you in this manner?
We sense your joyfulness and your praise of the Father and His son Michael. Your thankfulness also. Ever be so humble in mind and spirit, and indeed will the teachers and of course the Father and the Son, will work through you, to further their Mission and divine plan on earth.
It is a united effort, a glorious mission, a divine plan in progress for the enlightenment and upliftment of your planet into its rightful place in the universe circuits once more. No, you have not been forgotten. The truths we bring will set you free, everyone, now and for all eternity. There is much work to be done and every day more and more workers are being called.
A new dispensation is upon us, a new era for Urantia. God’s truth, beauty, and goodness will prevail. The plan of God will not fail, is not failing, is indeed going according to plan. Rejoice now and be exceedingly glad, little one, to be called and to be apart of this great mission of love to all your brothers and sisters in the light. Be not surprised how you will serve, when you will serve, where you will serve. Just be ever willing in your abilities and in your desire to will and to do the Father’s will day by day, especially during this great awakening and Correcting Time. I am your teacher, Bertram.
MALCOM: My child, you have had quite an afternoon! Indeed, some new experiences for you, transmitting Merium and Tomas. You have been wondering about Muriel? She is here and in time you will be acquainted. All will transpire according to plan.
Here you are learning that the mission and its pace goes on whether you are at home at your computer base, or here in your temporary dwelling place of service. It was needful that you were introduced to Merium and Tomas, as indeed you will be transmitting other teachers also, and it doesn’t matter your time, place or circumstance. Do you understand the message today? They most certainly wanted to welcome you, as do all the host surrounding you here today during this transmission.
Christ Michael, Himself sends you His blessing, reminding you He is ever near you, within you, beside you and desires that you dwell in His peace that passes all understanding. Courageously and in total confiding trust, continue in your loving service to all His children He sends along your path. I am and remain your teacher, companion and friend, Malcom.
