Session 13
Dec. 1, 1998
Q. What can I do to help the immediate situation with my son and his wife?
BERTRAM: Deep are your concerns and your fears that something tragic will happen in this family. It is understandable that you have anxiety regarding this situation. But remember the lessons learned in Mota # 19, which we have explained to you. Your own anxiety and worry will not help. Only through your love can you be of service. You had hoped for a new beginning for them. With renewed attitudes of heart and deep committed love, there could be change.
The present harsh reality of this situation is not good. Sometimes, if even the smallest flicker of love is still there, true love, that little ember of love might be fanned into a blaze once more. But if that spark has died and gone out, is there any hope and what is the solution?
All are suffering here! It is NOT the Father’s will that any should suffer in this way, especially the little ones. You can see how your own children suffer to this day from your past errors in judgment and childrearing. It is regrettable and these young adults need help. It will be a long and difficult road for them. If it can’t be worked out together, it must be worked out separately or the pattern will be perpetuated. That no one wants. Already the children have learned this pattern and unless something is done, they will carry on what they have learned.
Stay firm and rooted in your love and understanding. Be a light and an example of the higher path of life, which at the present, they totally reject because it appears “religious” to them. You realize that all will be made right in this Correcting Time, begun here on earth. This very situation must be corrected! The route taken may be completely out of your hands. You know, and most clearly understand that this life in the flesh is not the end of life. Perhaps it will take the mansion world teachers to help your son and his family with these problems, where these passions can be dealt with in their entirety. That, you say, does not help this very moment, now in this time on earth for this family, when so much pain and anguish is manifest.
Habit and attitudes have to change or begin to change before they can find any relief. Blame has to be set aside and mistakes by all, forgiven. Self-restraint, self-control, self-respect and self-love have to take hold somehow. Who they listen to, and if they will listen to anyone, is entirely in their hands and in their own free will choice. We cannot and you cannot take charge, live and orchestrate their lives for them. Their free will must never be violated. Their lessons are theirs to learn and theirs only.
We all reap what we sow consciously or unconsciously. All will understand this in the future and then will we have a better and enriched life, an environment of peace for all humanity. Until that time, correction and adjustment will continue, until humanity evolves upward and inward on the long journey towards perfection. Now you most certainly live in an imperfect world. This world needs to know the way to peace and harmony and that way has to start in your homes and in your relationships with each other and with yourselves, but most important, in your relationship with the Father.
This is the very gospel that Jesus taught, God’s fatherhood and the brotherhood of mankind. This concept can barely be understood in our fragmented and suffering homes on Urantia today.
- First – there must be love for God.
- Then – love and self-respect for ourselves; then we will be able to love our brothers as we should.
In rejecting the Father’s love or His very existence, all else is built on sand.
If the relationship with the self is distorted or non existent, then it is difficult to love either God or others in your life. In learning to truly love others through God’s love with in, does his very presence becomes more real in your lives. When you come to realize you are part of only one small planet of inhabitants among many thousands in this local universe alone, then do you just begin to understand the magnitude of God the Father, the great cosmic first source and center of all things. So now realize that we are all apart of this one great cosmic family. It truly puts things in a true perspective, and truth can begin to flow out to all.
We do live in a friendly universe regardless of what is portrayed on television, in the movies, or on video games children play today. All is truly going according to plan. More help is arriving now that the system circuits have been opened and the Lucifer Rebellion adjudicated. The next century will see great change both good and bad, yet the Correcting Time will continue. Be thankful for your part now and continue in your own preparation and lessons learned this day.
(Message from teacher Bertram)
Session 14
December 4, 1998 Practice meeting
BERTRAM: You may start your transmission if you feel the urge to do so. “Our little ones, we are so pleased to be with you this evening, to see you gathered here in the quiet of this night, in this peace, in this comfort.
We are here to guide and direct you. To stand by you, to lead you ever onward and forward in this teaching mission. Truly this is a truth. Christ Michael has commissioned it to be so. You have nothing to fear. We all have a mighty work to do, and together we will do it. We need more workers in the field and through you, through you, little ones, the work will go forward, through you we will call many into the harvest.
It is our desire that you be lights, true lights of the true way, and so being lights of what you have been taught, what you have learned, truth will go forth into all the earth and we will come to a time of Light and Life, as it has long ago been planned. We will show you the way and we will show you what you must do.
But for now be patient, be loyal, be true, loving and ever tender hearted. Clear your minds of negative thoughts. Be strong in what you have learned, for in learning these truths and living these truths, you incorporate them into your mind and into your spirit, and then in doing so, go forward to show forth those fruits to those around you and you will be a light, and they will know that we have sent, we have come, we are here and we are sending you to show them the way, to show them the way to peace and happiness here on earth.
But you know the journey does not end here. The true purpose is to go onward and forward and upward, for you are on your way home. There is a glorious future for all of you, each and every one. So never doubt, never fear, for we are here, close at hand. We will guide and direct you. You have all of our support and love. Be strong. The forces of darkness cannot harm you and cannot come near you, for we are here around you, supporting you, protecting you, shielding you.
We are a mighty army, a mighty host and we are here. We will succeed. The mission will not fail. God’s plan will not fail. We know that you have so many questions. You want to know — when, how, where? How will we be doing it? What will be our part? How can we serve? It will all be made clear.
As we have said so many times before, now is your preparation time, your own correction time without all those wrong and evil thoughts that you may have, thoughts of insecurity, thoughts of distrust. You are all in safe hands. The world may seem upset, backward, going downward. We hear of war and rumours of war around us in the Middle East. But you need not fear.
For we are bringing peace to this world and a new dispensation is opening up. A new era is before us. Listen little ones, go forward, teach. So that in your teaching, others will be taught and it will go onward and onward, until there will be a mighty host of true believers on this earth and correction will take place in all. We do thank you now for having come this evening. We send our peace and our love. Know that you are comforted, supported and loved. We are here, we stand beside you day by day, hour by hour. All you have to do is call upon us and we will answer, we will respond and we will be here. We bid you good evening. Our blessing upon you all.”
Closing prayer by Lorne Archer —
“Our Father, our Father/Brother Michael, We thank you for this attunement. We thank you for your comforting words and we do ask how we can serve, as we are willing to serve. And we are glad you will teach us how we can serve. We ask that we can leave here tonight and go forth now and show forth the fruits of the spirit in all of our contacts with your other children. In the name of Michael, we thank thee.”
Attending — Judy, Tara, and Lorne — in Hamilton, Ont., at Judy Nyland’s
Session 15
December 5, 1998
Q: Do you have a message for the Hamilton Study Group?
BERTRAM: Little one, we know that you are concerned with the purity of content when we are in contact with you, both from our minds to your mind in it’s transmission. Be assured that all is well and the circuits are functioning properly. With that said, let us begin.
We wish to welcome you all and we send our regards through this willing channel. Our love we extend to you all, our love and support in your spiritual journey during this Correcting Time. Christ Michael sends His love and His blessing upon you all. He is pleased with your faithfulness ans steadfastness in your study of His truth, in your desire to follow Him and to be a light to His beloved children on Urantia. Be strong and steadfast in all you set your hands and minds and hearts to do in the furtherance of His gospel to His children in your area of influence.
Be a daily light, a daily example, of His way of love and truth, of beauty and goodness and thereby show forth ripe, and worthy, and sweet tasting fruits of the spirit. “By your fruits will all know that you are my disciples, called to be a demonstration of my righteousness on the earth.”
Urantia is going through a time of correction and it will most certainly affect your lives, for each of you must face your own correction of attitudes and habits, misconceptions of the truth as they have been taught to you. So be aware of the true; aware of the false, and correct the direction of your lives in these times of not only personal correction but also globally. Be at peace and comforted knowing you are not alone in your daily walk before Him. Take comfort knowing that we are closer to you than even your hands and feet!
“The Father’s spirit dwells within you. My spirit of truth dwells within you, surrounds and comforts and shields you. You are all my children and I have sent you my teachers to guide and direct and to expand my truth for your deeper understanding. As you learn, so shall you teach and the message of my kingdom will spread over all the earth, then will the age of Light and Life come nearer to you. You are called to do your part now in this new beginning, this new era, this new dispensation coming upon Urantia. I am most pleased with your desire for truth and the progress you have all made in your lives. My peace be with you all.”
Christ Michael, Himself has sent you this message, much to the surprise of this channel! We call you now and teach you to be that light, and example of truth, beauty and goodness, beginning right where you are, by being what you are becoming. It is a process, a progression of change day by day, so be loving, and forgiving, and understanding in your daily interactions with others and with yourself. We will teach you in more structured lessons in the future if you so desire. We are Bertram and Muriel, your teachers.
Session 16
December 8,1998 6:50 A.M. Teacher Malcom arrives
MALCOM: Arise, little one. We have much to say to you. As you requested in the stillness last evening, your personal teacher, Malcom, is here! Listen, he wishes to speak with you.
Good morning, newly begotten Child of God. It is my delight to be assigned to you as your personal teacher, to help you and guide you, to further you in your growth in the spirit. Your request for me in the stillness was heard and is a sign to us of your deepest sincerity and desire to continue to know and to do the Father’s will. Christ Michael, our Lord and King, our Master, our very Father/Brother, Creator. Parent of all Nebadon welcomes you along with Nebadonia, our Mother Spirit.
I, Malcom will also ever be beside you now, to guide, love and support you in preparation of the times ahead, to assist in your personal correction and changes. You have done well and we are pleased with your progress, thus far, upon this most difficult plane and planet.
As it has been told you so often, that you have been called to assist in the “showing of the way,” by your own growth in the “fruits of the spirit.” We will study these fruits, my child, for they truly are your outward display of the Spirit of Truth in your life, your outward “demonstration of righteousness” to the world of Urantia, your birthplace of body and soul. Your soul growth, your blooming into God-like character, even in this flesh, is most important, and this we shall be working on, for this is our purpose, our call of service to you.
How can the world know of the life changing, life saving truths and ways of God unless they see with their eyes, hear with their ears and come to know in their hearts, that all things are possible with God. With the change in the spiritual upliftment of man, will come the spiritual upliftment of the planet, eventually into Light and Life. Here, you will even now begin to experience the morontia life of which you have only read in your text. You are both, in preparation and service, in this world and the next.
Can you see why this mission, the Teaching Mission is so important at this time? The world, all the world, needs this demonstration of the right way of life and living, the righteous way that leads to peace and life, and life everlasting, for all. With a willing and sincere and humble heart, I will guide you, in all avenues of truth sufficient for your life here, now on Urantia. It will not always be easy. Correction can sometimes be hard to bear and some deep-seated ideas, ideals and concepts must be rooted out and replaced with new ones. This rendering, of such precious habits, will be difficult for you to achieve at times.
I will be requiring of you more consistent times in the stillness, a daily time set aside for your quiet communing with the Father, the meeting with your Thought Adjuster, your personal gift from on high. This is most important for your growth and progress in the spirit. We will study the “fruits of the spirit” throughly so that you can completely understand their meaning and eternal values here, in all Nebadon and beyond. We will incorporate these truths into your mind and spirit daily, so that they will truly become a very part of you and your expression to the world of God’s truth, beauty, and goodness.
So let us begin:
First we want to assure you, once more, of the Father’s steadfast love and overcare, that we are all in His service, in the furthering of His divine plan for all His children, mortal, morontial, and spiritual, in their spiritual growth and progression.
As He wills, as you will, we will teach you and guide you day by day, hour by hour, moment by moment. It is a sacred trust between us all, which will not be violated. His will and your will are paramount and supreme. Understand this completely and thoroughly. You and we, are not infallible. We are all on this journey together. As we have been taught, we reach back to teach, just as you will by your words but more so by the life with its fruits that you will show and live. So we will start with each fruit, one at a time, eat of and digest them thoroughly, taking them into our life and essence, making them a very part of us in thought and action.
Here is your serving for today, LOVING SERVICE. I will return later and we will discuss the concepts here and what you have learned and how to apply this fruit in your daily life. I thank you for calling, for asking for me to come, as it has been my desire to be in contact with you and to be of more service to you. I thank the Father for this opportunity of service to you, a mortal babe in this world of time and space, this beloved Urantia, truly a jewel, precious in the hands of the Master. Indeed you are all of very special interest to Him, and very much loved, indeed.
What a marvelous journey we all have set before us, as pioneers into a new world, a new age and we, have been called to be a part of this magnificent plan in the heart of the Father, in the heart of Christ Michael and Nebadonia! Are we committed to do our part now? Devoted to setting in place the building blocks of a new society, a new civilization leading to Light and Life?
I am now dedicated to working with you, my child, my student, to guide you in the ways of the Master. We only ask for your willingness, your trust, your dedication to change and correction, to growth in the spirit. Realize all is done in love for you and for your beloved Urantia, for Christ Michael and Nebadonia and our beloved parents on Paradise. We will not fail you. You will not fail to become that true light, that example of His truth in dark places. I leave you now to your study this day. Your companion, guide and teacher, Malcom.
Session 17
December 13, l998
TARA: Malcom, do you have further information regarding the lesson on Loving Service?
MALCOM: : My child, thank you for your desire for further instruction. What have you learned these last few days?
TARA: To serve with joy and inner satisfaction without thought of reward or re-embursement. I loved serving my family and my duties in volunteering at St. Vincents. This coming week has further opportunity for service to Michael my son and also to his wife’s mother at her nursery school Christmas Party. I look forward to that, only wishing my health is much improved by that time.
MALCOM: : You were watched over and the fall was most unfortunate. Sometimes we do trip over things we absolutely do not see or perceive. This is also true in our spiritual lives and growth as well. Watch for these and don’t be deceived into darkness and stumble.
We see your gratefulness, that it was not worse for you, the fall that you had, for we saw your first concern was the thought of not being able to serve fully, the plans you have set before you in these days before the holidays and that you are needed in these services.
See, you are certainly learning loving service. You love to serve and the thought of not being able to serve because of a severe aftermath of your fall, caused anxiety within you. You are most fortunate a break did not occur, as the force of the fall, it could have been so. You are naturally feeling soreness and stiffness, which even a healthy person would have felt after such a mishap.
But now to go on with our lesson of loving service. Duty to serve comes upon us all. When duty becomes monotonous and full of drudgery, it is hard to do such service in love. One must then work on attitude, an attitude of love. We can look at any thing we do in life and question why we do this particular thing. Most often it is service to self, others or to God. Showing love in that service towards self, others or God is what we are striving for. Remember to “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your mind and all your soul and your neighbor as yourself.” On this hangs the law of service.
When you come to more clearly understand your service, first your loving service to yourself, then loving service to your neighbor and then loving service to God, you come into a higher sense of happiness, joy and ecstasy. Living in a more cared for body and environment leads to soul enrichment, for yourself and for all those who will come in contact with you. Being healthier and coming from a safe environment leads to more loving service outwards to others, your family, your extended family neighborhood, and the world.
Because we are a part of one greater whole, our service leads upwards in appreciation and love and service for our Creator God, as we see in His children and in His creations, His loving service to us! In love has He created us and in love does he uphold us and maintain all of His creations. We truly do “live and move and have our being in Him” and because He loves us, this is His eternal, loving service to us. Should we do no less towards our brothers and sisters now and through all eternity?
In our loving service, no matter how small the deed may seem to us, even a smile to a “stranger” in our midst, we are doing this service to Him. Look around you and see how you can extend the Father’s love towards others in loving service. Consider food banks, donations, charities especially now in this special season of the year. You can think of many more.
The Father is perfect in His loving service. Strive in your loving service to exemplify His ideal of selfless loving service, not seeking reward but that in your unconditional loving service, others are enriched and blessed because of your service which in reality is your expression of love to your brother because he is your brother in the family of God. I leave you now, back to your daily life lessons, until next time. In loving service to you, your teacher and companion, Malcom.
Session 18
December 14, 1998
TARA: Again, I feel so unworthy of this calling, humbled and ashamed at my resistance and fear, yet truly desiring to serve and to do God’s will, no matter what He calls me to do. Why this turmoil, this feeling of being overwhelmed of the responsibility of it all?
BERTRAM: : Little one, again we say, fear not, we are here beside you. You need but relax and be calm and still. Our words will flow into your thought circuits and outward in your word concepts and phraseology. Each transmitter/receiver is different and has their own style, as do we. You will do well. We will not let you fail. You have been called and prepared for this service. Look upon it as your loving service to your brothers and sisters in the light. We have need of teaching you all, guiding you all, into a deeper understanding of the concepts of truth, beauty and goodness, so that you will each one become a “demonstration of righteousness,” so that you will teach others to be the same also. You are the forerunners, the pioneers, if you will, of this new stage of establishing the Kingdom of God and Heaven on earth.
We have come down to you to teach you, now that the circuits have been opened, the Lucifer Rebellion adjudicated and executed. You have nothing to fear. Many will reject the truth that you bear, but that is their choice and decision for now, and not your responsibility. But many more are ripe in the harvest fields, ready to hear and respond and join us in our mission. There are also other fields, and other workers also, which are a delight to Christ Michael.
Do not doubt that it is Christ Michael who is in charge of this Teaching Mission. Machiventa Melchizedek and Abraham are under His direct authority, as are we and each of you. This mission is needed, needed now! All is going according to plan. Each must do their part as called. Reassure others in the group that they too, can hear us and respond as you do now, if they so desire. We can only reassure you by our presence and through your faith and steadfastness in the truth. Melchizedek has returned with His staff of teachers.
Now you also have your teacher, Malcom, to aide you and assist you. You have the support of your brother and sister, Lorne and Judy. They will be beside you in support, and of course we are all ever present with you at times of transmission. Your Thought Adjuster is ever with you, even the Spirit of Truth. We do understand your feeling of the weight of this responsibility, but this responsibility is also ours, we share it with you. You do not carry it alone, little one. The words you will speak, the words you will write, are our words and our thoughts; teachings necessary for your spiritual growth, for the spiritual growth of those who will hear and listen and act upon these messages.
So fear not, little one, the words are our responsibility, the response is the responsibility of those who hear. Your responsibility is be a clear and pure channel as you are able and this you will be, as you give this loving service for your Father, to your brothers and sisters.
So be at peace in your thoughts, abandon anxiety. It is because you are willing that you are chosen for this service. Continue in your lessons of the “fruits of the spirit” Understand them well. Make them a part of your daily life. A great adventure awaits each and every one of you. So be loyal, be true, be loving, faithful, now in this flesh. Take your rest now. Malcom will speak with you tomorrow to continue your lessons. Your teacher Bertram.
