[tmtranscripts] LinEL 04-25-07 - On the State of the Mission

[Thea Hardy]

Mark Rogers's recent transmission of Monjoronson about the differences  
over the MSM and the Teaching Mission made me think of this message we  
received from LinEL just over a year ago - I think I sent it to TML  
but I am not sure it was ever posted to TMTranscripts. In any case, it  
seemed to resonate and felt like a good time to repost to all. Like  
all teacher messages it reads best when taken literally without  
innuendo. I always find myself stunned and respectful of the  
graciousness and well-stated ways the teachers put these things. They  
simply do not judge. If one seeks justification (which being human, I  
am sure we all do on occasion) going to the teachers will never give  
it to us, as is appropriate! :-) But it will almost always give us an  
enhanced understanding of ourselves and our brothers and sisters, and  
a fostering of love and unity. I found rereading this helpful and hope  
it will be of help to others, as well.

The Teachers and their Friends - Bless them one and  all!

Thank you,

Topic - Concerns about the state of the mission and our disagreements.


Greetings, dear ones, this is LinEL - we are here with you tonight to  
share again in the work of aiding this world. And as ever, we work  
together surrounded by the love of the Father, and uplifted by faith  
in the outworkings of his will. You are inspired by love, and  
encouraged by the unfoldment of understanding. The Father's love will  
never fail you in time or eternity.

We greet you yet again as our friends and companions - as our little  
brothers and sisters who give us so much by your willingness to let us  
participate in your lives and enrich our understanding of what it  
means to be human on Urantia, and how to better aid you and your  
brothers and sisters in this mutual journey that you have chosen, and  
re-chosen, to participate in with us. You do not understand the depth  
our own gratitude to you for your endless gifts of the heart in that  
willingness.

Your faithful hearts are the seeds of tomorrow - your sincere attempts  
to live what we teach lets us understand your specific human needs  
ever better - what works with you and what does not - who can be  
effectively approached and who cannot, and when. You are the hope of  
tomorrow. You struggle to serve, not knowing that your every single  
day is a service to the Father, to Michael's mission. Your gatherings  
are our living laboratories, and your lives are our education. We have  
learned endless things from you over these years, for knowledge of the  
specifics of living cannot be gained without experience. It will take  
us at least a hundred years to even begin to put together the detailed  
information that will be utilized in the various curricula for the  
reformation of your world. How could it be that we would learn what we  
need in such short order? The majestic redwoods did not grow to full  
height in a year. To you the days may seem long, the years stretching  
out. To us, it is as though we have barely arrived. Your impatience is  
natural, but it does not further the efforts we make, except in that  
we understand better what we are up against in working around the  
convolutions of the Lucifer Legacy on Urantia.

The mission is not fully what any of you have understood, and your  
understanding will improve, but never be full until you have arrived  
on the shores of Mansonia. Even then, it will take more time. Our  
timetable has nothing to do with human desires. None of you will live  
to see this planet's reformation. That is why your priceless faith and  
agondonter courage are such endless gifts to us - you choose  
repeatedly to believe, in the face of no imminent arrivals of rescue.  
In spite of your blurred grasp of what we do, you persist. You choose  
to walk forward doggedly when your fellows from all walks mistrust  
your efforts and perceive your beliefs as unacceptable. You exhibit  
not only the courage of consorting with us, but the courage of  
conviction that will not let you believe what you do not believe, that  
will not let you compromise your own integrity. None of you have  
perfected beliefs - at this stage of living such a thing is not  
possible. Many of your debates are truly the blind leading the blind.  
It is less important the specifics of your belief than that you are  
sincere in your pursuit of truth. In time, with such sincerity, truth  
will be yours. Your hopes are real, and we will do everything we can  
to console you in your loneliness.

But remember, forerunners are often faced with such loneliness. When  
the multitudes departed from the Master's preaching because he would  
not work the wonders they expected, the Apostles were disillusioned  
and upset. It is natural for humans to wish to see results, but the  
long-distance view requires almost super-human patience, and  
agondonter faith. This you have persisted in, and we are ever  
grateful, for your willingness to let us into your lives and work with  
us are those seeds from which our knowledge, gained by the experience  
which knowledge requires, can move forward with the developing plans  
for the uplift of your world.

What many of you call the teaching mission is an extension of the  
original Teaching Mission, Michael's bestowal mission to the planet.  
He well knew even before he came to this world that his human lifetime  
would not be enough to establish in men's hearts all that would be  
required to reclaim this world from the legacy of Lucifer that had  
robbed it of so much. When his life did not last even as long as  
hoped, there was no doubt of his need to provide for you, his beloved  
children. Before he even ascended, this teaching mission was planned  
and considered. It did not take even 2000 years of pre-planning before  
we were recruited and brought to Urantia. It will take us another bit  
of time to collect enough data in close personal contact with you to  
be able to formulate effective curricula to replace the knowledge base  
lost with Dalamatia and Eden, knowledge - teachings - essential to  
your ability to achieve light and life. From what our beloved Master  
has told us many times, this over-arching mission represents his  
continuing  ministry to you, for he could not leave his beloved  
children bereft of his help. His spirit you have always with you at  
your request, but he will leave no stone unturned to find ways to  
assist you in your struggles, to allay your griefs and dress your  
wounds of heart and spirit.

Therefore, we are here. And it is natural that you all have  
distortions in your understanding of our roles. Some distortions are  
greater than others, but none matter in the sincere hearts that seek  
truth, beauty and goodness, that ever seek love as the answer to  
life's profound problems, that know the true source of that love as  
the Father above and within. Sincerity will win through to truth in  
the end. Naturally we are saddened at your disagreements, but you must  
understand that beyond your human pains, these matters concern us not  
at  in terms of our success. It is Michael's mission, and therefore  
there is no question of failure. Your difficulties are all instructive  
in terms of our tasks - trying to find the best ways to assist your  
world. And we love you all, each and every one, mightily when we see  
your struggles with one another. When we see those who will not step  
out, we understand the need for frightened children to be loved and  
comforted so that security can guide them in the uncertainties of  
life. When we see those who rush ahead in their enthusiasm, and  
sometimes in their fear that nothing is being done, we understand the  
need for frightened children to be loved and comforted so that  
security can guide them in the uncertainties of life. Where fear  
appears, we learn yet more about the way the animal nature, not fully  
uplifted in genetics and culture, will be our largest impediment. So,  
you see, all that you do is instructive to us and assists us in our  
work.

But understand that where we find willing hearts who will listen to  
our words and pursue their connections with the Father of us all,  
where we find patience that struggles against fear to yet move  
forward, and struggles with fears of loss to move with restraint, we  
gather important information on how to understand the balance that we  
must find - and where to best put our efforts. Because this mission is  
the extension of Michael's teachings to you, of which the Urantia Book  
was a preparatory revelation, what he taught remains ever relevant.  
That it must be restated in virtually every generation does not make  
his concepts irrelevant. Instead, the world is desperate for the same  
timeless truths he taught when he walked this world, but restated in  
terms of the present, the times in which you live. Of the things we  
learn from you, one is to assist you in the best ways to reframe his  
teachings for your time. It is not called the teaching mission by  
accident. And as your generations pass and we are yet with you, this  
reframing will continue, over and over, until we have the pulse of the  
needs of humanity well taken, and the remedies well in hand.

Be of good cheer - even when some would disparage your sincere  
efforts, any of you, you yet serve.  And the words of others  
disparaging such efforts cannot change our faith in you, in your  
persistence. Blessed are you when in the face of disagreement, you  
persist in your loyalty to what you know to be true. Even were you  
mistaken, your sincere hearts would stand vigil on behalf of your  
faith. Your rewards will be forthcoming as your faith has sustained  
you. And we are proud of every sincere heart that makes the attempt,  
repeatedly, to serve in this way.

Urantia needs the knowledge it lost. Teaching and learning will be a  
part of your lives forever. It is part and parcel of both time and  
eternity, albeit the methods are vastly different - the goals are not.  
And ever the most priceless goal is that connection with the Father,  
with his love that sustains you, from whence you came, and that will  
permit you to move in ever upward and expansive cycles of relationship  
with the deeper meanings of truth, beauty and goodness, and to attain  
at last the pinnacle of Love. We love you beyond description. Your  
openness to us and your vulnerability are truly gifts, and gifts that  
are endless service to all who follow you, and to the world when it  
will be in Light and Life.

Seek the Father and his love - feel the color of the light that  
radiates from the great heart at the center of the universe, and yet  
from within your very own hearts. This is your birthright, and the  
legacy of your efforts here will be to increase the hopes of your  
world drawing ever closer to enlightenment. Be at peace within and  
live from faith and trust - and you will find more peace is yours  
without.
