 MINEARISA:	I am Minearisa.  My home base is in Pocatello.  I have been 
 here before.  I am a Melchizedek in residence on Urantia.  I have been 
 intimately involved in your community development and am supportive of all 
 your efforts in fostering the reality of the gospel in your lives and as 
that 
 reality extends outward into your greater community.
 
 You have graciously requested a teacher to minister to you under the realms 
 of relationship and I am happy to comply by orders of my superiors to be of 
 service to you in this regard.
 
 My initial thrust in approaching relationship is going to come, of course, 
 from the concept of the I AM, for how can there be relationship without at 
 least two I AM's -- except as you have a relationship primarily with the 
 First Source and Center and thus with yourself, for who are you but an 
 extension of your primal reality, your original Source and Center?
 
 As you understand, your initial relationship with Life, through the Font of 
 Life, you can begin to develop the awareness of that Life within your life 
 experience, by and through your decisions, based upon your primary 
 relationship, or not, depending upon your free will choice.
 
 As you branch off of your fundamental reality, you encounter what I shall 
 call static, for the fidelity factor has been diminished to the extent that 
 you have not focused yourself on who you truly are and from whence you truly 
 come.
 
 The same truth can be had in relationship with others.  That same universal 
 law applies.  If you either go too far afield of your primary 
identification, 
 you become less real, and as you become less real, you stunt the growth of 
 relationship.  Therefore the key to any successful relationship is to be 
true 
 to yourself as you ascertain yourself as the son of the original I AM.
 
 When you comply with that reality, and respond to its leading, you are then 
 in a continual condition of on-going growth.  As others allow themselves 
also 
 to be lured forward in their reality, they too are undergoing continual 
 progressive spiritual growth, and thus your relationship is in a constant of 
 growth itself, requiring adaptation and flexibility in relationship that 
 gives rise to a fresh approach every moment, and so love remains alive.
 
 This is true in any kind of relationship, but there are many variations on 
 the theme depending upon the nature of the relationship.  They are not all 
 comprised to foster and further spiritual reality in each other.  Many times 
 relationships are really more of a contract of a sort than a living 
 friendship, but even contractual relationships can benefit from the truth 
 that all great sense of direction and purpose comes from a high ideal, a 
high 
 standard, a worthy goal.
 
 And thus in relationship it is beneficial to profess a direction, a purpose, 
 a fundamental goal, in order to have a mutual aim to grow toward, whether 
 that be material success, four offspring, romantic love or ultimate 
 perfection.  
 
 You would like, perhaps, to engage us all in some discourse surrounding your 
 intrigue with relationship?  The floor is open.
 
 RACHEL:	The floor is open.  I don't have any questions.  We don't 
seem to be 
 full of them.
 
 MINEARISA:	Yes, you are. 
 RACHEL:	(Laughter)  I assure you, probably I am.
 MINEARISA:	You are all pregnant with questions.
 ANGUS:	Where to begin.
 
 RACHEL:	Discuss how to have a successful relationship.  I guess none 
of us 
 have had a successful relationship before, so we're entering some new waters.
 
 MINEARSIA:	Yes, it is apparent to us that there are new relationships 
 forming in hope of new levels of value and happiness for there is indeed 
good 
 reason to believe that there is a new definition for love.  The fact that 
you 
 have all been given permission to love yourselves and have come to know how 
 you are loved, instills in you enough self respect that you attract love.  
It 
 is a natural consequence of your evolution of late in your spiritual 
 yearnings.
 
 You have sought your Source, found it to be good, and also within you.  You 
 have begun to trust that the Father is in each of your believing brethren 
and 
 you have been encouraged to love that aspect of the Father within each of 
 your peers.  You have found peers with whom you may freely reflect your true 
 nature, your godlikeness.  You have been found to be glorious, beautiful and 
 loveable.  You have reflected that quality, those qualities, back from one 
to 
 the other and found great comfort, great delight and great succor in such a 
 reflection of the Father.
 
 The romantic aspect of your separate loves for one another is another aspect 
 of the religious life -- "refinement of sentiment"  that provides further 
 proof of the greatness of God.  Your every sense is gratified and ennobled 
by 
 this trust and commitment to love.  It cannot help but produce good fruit.
 
 RACHEL:	You are in a relationship to be true to yourself and your 
First 
 Source and Center and also to have goals.  Is there anything else you would 
 like to add?  For ingredients to a loving relationship?
 
 MINEARISA:	I would like to pause on the threshold of one of your 
 pregnant remarks and that is to qualify the nuance of the self.  Yes you are 
 to think of the self, but bISalways mindful of what element of the self it 
is 
 that you are representing, for it is important to the human being to also 
 have personality expression and the human personality expression is tainted 
 by its animal origins, and thus it provides an intriguing study in character 
 to observe your reactions to situations in relationship that could leave you 
 finding yourself observing yourself in less than lovely ways.
 
 This however is one of the values of a treasured friendship, for a friend 
 will embrace you while you allow yourself to let go of your lesser reactions 
 in favor of your superior responses as you begin to perceive your morontial 
 reality developing.  
 
 Now, you say "What else?"  There is the nuance, if you will, of children, 
 offspring of relationship, and this in some ways is also a representation of 
 a creative outpouring for not all people procreate but they still have much 
 to offer their cultural progeny.  And it is often in the decision to produce 
 life that the initial goal is established that contracts the parties in 
 relationship.  Thus new relationships can come into being.  But it does not 
 preclude the original value of the original friendship.
 
 Relationships worth having are indeed eternal.  It is error to think that 
you 
 will only know a person for a short period of time.  It is a fact that as 
you 
 all approach your eternal career you will be approaching the same challenges 
 and university classrooms as you might here, and it is truly a small world, 
 even if it is a vast universe.
 
 That which has value in relationship has value eternally.  Therefore it is 
 imperative that you respect your parties in relationship, much as you have 
 self respect, for yourself, based upon your understanding of your infinite 
 nature.  
 
 In your human jargon you could say, "and they lived happily ever after" and 
 it would be quite true, although it would take different shapes and offer 
 different configurations under different circumstances, depending upon 
divine 
 plan.  (Phone ringing)  There, you see?  Evidence of relationship.
 
 I will step down.  I know that Gorman is in the wings and is eager to meet 
 with you also.  I will stick around awhile in the event that your 
 intermission gives rise to discussion that might warrant further questions.  
 Good evening.
 
 RACHEL:	Thank you.
 ANGUS:	Wonderful stuff.
