LIGHT LINE – April 29, 2004
Gerdean T/R’ing SECONDARY MIDWAYER GORMAN

GORMAN: Good evening, everybody. This is Gorman. I am a secondary
midwayer and it is my pleasure and privilege to be in your company this
evening. I am looking forward to our discussions as they relate to the
work of the realm. The midwayers are very engaged in the material life.
We have many projects under way and we are thrilled at this emerging new
age wherein we are able to make such good contact with you, so many of
you, at long last, after having made many attempts over many ages with
the mortals of the realm in one way or another. I have to confess we have
not always been altruistic. We have had our share of dysfunction and
rabble-rousing, just being kids, you know. Not what you’d really call
"wicked" but mischievous, much like you yourselves have been children in
need of supervision. We share that commonality with you. 

I have had the good fortune of working with some of you, consciously,
some of you not so consciously, but you would be surprised at how many of
us are aware of other projects other people are engaged in because we
have such a great networking system, we United Midwayers. Like you
agondonters, we have not always been united. You have yet to congeal as
United Agondonters, but that may not be in the cards -- at this point in
the planetary evolution; nonetheless, there will be certain groupings of
people, just like this Light Line connection, wherein people who have
something in common or a passion, an avocation or an interest -- delight
to share together in that interest.

There are different levels of this kind of interaction. Some could call
it reversion or recreation because, well, in truth, we are a good lot of
fun. We are -- even the more serious-minded or professorial teachers in
the Teacher Corps --are nonetheless very engaging. Probably better than
most Tuesday night television schedules. Delete that "Tuesday". I don’t
know what’s on Tuesday. Any night, for that matter. The point being that
we are often regarded as recreation or reversion. 

There are others who come to these gatherings, be they as they may,
because they enjoy group worship. They want, need, crave, desire, enjoy
the idea that they are free to love God in company with others who love
God. It’s like raising your voice in song, singing together in the choir.
When you know the words, you know the beat, you like the tune. It’s a
song you just can’t seem to get out of your head and you enjoy going down
the street whistling and "doo dah day." 

There are also groups who come together for therapeutic reasons, who have
what they call soul sickness, who have wounds that have abscessed and
fermented for so long they are almost a part of the environment. They are
so ordinary, you don’t even know they are a problem until you find
yourself in one of these catharsis situations with others, when you know
you can trust the others, because they are in the same situation. This
kind of camaraderie is very powerful, very bonding, very real. 

There are other reasons, too, why a group will come together. Well, yes,
I’ll get to my point. My point is that I come around when I see people
getting together to do something. To actually DO something. Like, get out
the floor plan. Draw the details, measuring as you go, then gathering up
your level and hammer and nails and saw and tape measure and hard hat or
whatever it is you need and actually getting down to business and doing
something. This is what we enjoy doing because we are material creatures.
We like to do things. We like to-- 

[
 well, you might like to build a tree house. We would build a tree
house, too, but it would be of a different material. Isn’t it peculiar
that we are invisible to you but we are material? That just is enough to
make you wonder about what material is. Those of you in this Light Line
who have a familiarity with the Course in Miracles would recognize the
essence of that concept. You would "grok" what I am trying to say. For
most people would find it a very foreign idea. Well, I didn’t mean to get
distracted. Perhaps that was part of the recreation.]

I have a passion for the synergy, the synergy of group activity. I see a
Broadway revue of cancan dancers, with all their legs kicking up at the
same time, and the feathers in their hair bouncing in rhythm. Look at the
work that went in to create that artistic demonstration of utter
discipline and art. This is the kind of work that excites me. When I
advance, which I am anticipating, I am very much looking forward to
working with the artisans. I would love to work on the pageants. I don’t
know how they do it. I can only speculate, but to the extent I speculate,
I have wonderful ideas, and when I see others, like you, with your ideas,
I have additional excitement because I am affected by your enthusiasm,
and between yours and mine we have suddenly threefold or quadrupled our
excitement, and this is a very attractive energy.

You may be assured, however, if you are going to get together in a
circumstance like that, there are those who will stand back and watch and
wait for the first time you stub your toe or make a mistake to point out
to you how foolish you are to have tried such a thing in the first place.
But you must not let that stop you. You must not let that slow you down.
You must not let that cause you to question your motivations. 

You know how it is when your sister’s kid was four years old, five, six
years old, your nephew, perhaps it is your grandson. Some kid you have
had in relationship. You couldn’t keep the kid down. "Sit still in the
chair!" the mother would say. He wouldn’t sit still. He didn’t know how
to sit still. He had to be doing something all the time. If he was in the
chair he would be hanging over the back of it or leaning over the side
with his feet over the edge, or looking down at the foot of the chair to
see how it was related to the carpet or the piece of furniture next to it
and what was on the furniture next to it constantly looking,
investigating, finding out what life is all about. 

This is how you are. Some of you are as curious and as undisciplined as
that child, but it is, even so, an energy that cannot be put down. Allow
yourself to have that buoyancy of your childlikeness such that when you
are told to sit in the chair, you make the chair an interesting place to
be. Continue to use your resources, whatever they may be, to buoy your
spirits, to soar your creative imagination, to use your mind – not
necessarily to think with, but perhaps to create with, and enjoy the
universe that exists between your ears. It is in this area where ideas
are. It is from the creative font within that the ideas bubble up,
through the layers, to be revealed as inspiration. Ideas. Things to do. 

In this world, I understand that there are few of you who have time left
over to look for something to do. I’m not talking about taking out the
garbage, polishing your shoes, canceling the paper, training the dog. I’m
not talking about those kinds of things. They are always there. I am
talking about doing something for God, for the evolution of this word,
for the enlightenment of the lovely orb on which we reside. Whether that
is enhancing what is already good, revealing what is hidden, denouncing
what is wrong, however it is that you reveal yourself and your
personality. This is what we get enthusiastic about.

Why? Because there are so many people who go through the motions of life.
They just trod on like ants. Relatively content within that paradigm fit
for ants. But missing the opportunities to do something. Now, I admit! I
admit I might have what you might call "ulterior motives." I admit it
because I have been here a long time. I will be here a lot longer than
you will. I will be here long after you are already gone. And so forgive
me if I take a moment to impress upon you my encouragement that you do
something while you are here to foster this reality. 

Because by doing something to foster the reality of 
 [Do I have to
describe it? Do I have to define it? 
 Well, let’s call it "god
consciousness", "awareness", "being all that you can be." That kind of
thing.] 
 makes this life dynamic. Vibrant. Thrilling. Powerful. Not just
all those loud emotions, but real, solid, concrete, a firmament, exalted,
noble. It makes the simple things like making maple syrup a sacred act.
It adds the dimension of the divine. It takes it out of a two dimensional
existence, or even three dimensions and adds the dimension of the cosmos,
the universe. It brings the reality of the divine, the "christedness".

(Such a vocabulary problem we have with all these new words. Trying not
to alienate this factor or that sect. We are all the same. We are all in
this. We don’t want to alienate anybody, so we observe our language.) 

I don’t want to overlook the importance of the essentials, like having a
family. That is certainly doing something. That’s very elemental and
cannot be discounted for anything. That’s very vital work. But again,
it’s even more vital when God the Father is a part of the paradigm of the
family life. That whole dimensional shift is apparent. The results are
also apparent, and they will be apparent in the next generation. You see
there is a great deal of work to do. 

Perhaps my greatest weakness is my impatience, but then again I think
that might be my greatest strength because it motivates me. I cannot
tolerate my own weakness so I walk around seeing it in you and I am
reminded of how many years I wasted being a child in need of supervision,
a pleasure seeker in pursuit of nothing in particular. Until I saw I had
wasted a great deal of valuable time, and though it takes what it takes,
I am active now. And, of course, I am gratified when I perceive that you,
also, enjoy being active on behalf of this reality which we truly
cherish. I know you cherish it, I can feel it. I can feel it through the
Light Line that we share. You reflect back to me the value that you are
feeling now, right within you, that Harvey feeling. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Well, any questions?
Marshall: Hi, Gorman. This is Marshall.
GORMAN: Hello, Marshall.

Marshall: A pleasure to hear your voice and what you’ve conveyed here. I
have taken on your United Midwayers motto as my personal motto. And
recently I’ve been working with a secondary midwayer brother intensively
in the last month or so, I’m not sure of his name, but I do transmit him
and he has been a great help. Any suggestions Gorman you can give me in
working more effectively with and cooperating with this exceptionally
engaging, delightful new friend?

GORMAN: Well, I am very happy for you. Thank you for sharing that news
with all of us because, you know, we are all just tickled pink to be
actively involved with you mortals – particularly you mortals who are
paying attention and know we are there! That is our greatest new toy!
We’ve been working with people who don’t know we’re there and that’s
fine, but there is nothing quite so gratifying as working with someone
when they are conscious of us. Are you and your buddy conversing aloud?
That is to say, are you audible?

Marshall: No, I don’t hear him. I transmit him. I get a certain tone and
pitch ringing in my left ear, towards the bottom, and I know he is there.
I desire to make better contact with him and to utilize all that he is
providing by becoming more consciously aware.

GORMAN: Are you working with him in the context of a project?

Marshall: The project being – evidently there is some new training that
is being provided for me and I’m being prepared on the morontial level to
receive greater morontia awareness and recognize new gifts to utilize. 

GORMAN: Absolutely. Absolutely. Say no more, I can see the program all
the way from here. I can see it completely. You are on the right track.
Oh! Don’t pay any attention to me when I say "say no more" please! Say
more!

Marshall: He is a wonderfully touching personality. Contact with him is
different than with Mother or Michael or Ham, Abraham or my seraphic
sisters. It’s almost like I can put my arm around him but he’s not there,
yet he is there.

GORMAN: Certainly. Absolutely. Well, we’re very close, you know. We’re
very close to you. Absolutely. Absolutely. And if you will recall my
earlier conversation, we have had very much a background like yours. When
our parents were whisked off, you know, we were rather bereft and left
adrift and though we could have, perhaps should have, gone under certain
arranged supervisory circumstances, me, many of us, opted to use our free
will to learn through the school of hard knocks just as you have and so
our experiential backgrounds are incredibly much alike, actually.

Marshall: May I ask a follow up question here real quick?
GORMAN: Yes.

Marshall: With the first arrival on Urantia of the first and second
aspect of morontia mind being offered by our Teachers here, for those
diligent Urantia students participating in this on-sphere training
leading to the development of morontia concept frames to support
enhancement of mota-insight perception. 

GORMAN: Yes.

Marshall: Will this allow the assurance of faith to reach over the veil
into this heretofore experientially unprecedented realm of the assurance
of truth for those mortals that are absorbing these morontia concepts and
gaining mota insight perception, Gorman? 

GORMAN: Well, yes it will, as a matter of fact, and render you rather
truth-revealing in spite of yourself. 
Marshall: Interesting.

GORMAN: It’s simply a matter of becoming more Real. And real is something
that you have a sense about, perhaps, but its only when you get there
that you know what Reality is. This reality-izing is very complicated in
conversation. It sounds very heavy, very matrix. But it’s really just
learning how to be. But of course it is learning how to BE in a dimension
you haven’t had before and so that is what makes it different. And you,
then, are altered. You become much like a morontia creature. You walk
around using your morontial values. You do this through the liaison such
as you’ve got going with your midwayer friend. I’m going to have to find
out who that is. But I’m not going to find out who it is. You can find
out who it is. You can ask him. He’ll tell you.

Marshall: I will. And I’m sure he will. There’s no question in my mind. 
GORMAN: If he doesn’t, tell him who he is. He just wants to respond to
you anyway. 
Marshall: Well, the names have been that important in the last several
months. SO I’ll give him a name.
GORMAN: The thing is though, when you give him a name, he is even more
personal to you. It’s like Harvey. You know Harvey?
Marshall: Yeah!

GORMAN: That rabbit? Well, we are a lot like Harvey, we midwayers. I
don’t mean to downplay our value. I got to tell you, I know more than you
do. But I don’t need to be honored or worshipped or any of that stuff,
you know? I like respect but I know you do, too, so that’s just one of
those camaraderie things that we share.

Marshall: Well, I realize that, Gorman.
GORMAN: Well, yes, this has been very engaging. 
Marshall: Thank you, Gorman. A pleasure. 
GORMAN: Likewise. 
Marty: I miss you a lot, Gorman.

GORMAN: Yes, my friend, I knew you were here. I asked to come, in fact,
so I could say hello. I found it very interesting, observing our
transmitters reaction to the news that the Course is Miracles is now "up
for grabs" as it were, as is the Urantia Book, as a result of legal moves
to lift the copyright. This puts the field of publication in a new light.
You know, Gerdean had tried to protect the Teacher transcripts and the
Foundation had attempted to protect the Urantia Papers and the ACIM
Scribes had attempted to protect the Course, but the doors are opening
all around. The cows are getting out of the corral – or are they horses?
– and they are galloping. They are galloping across the plains and coast
to coast. 

Marty: Thank God.
GORMAN: Indeed. There is still, however, work to be done. There is still
plenty of room to present your truths from your perspective as something
to do, for the cause. It remains that "the Word" is one of the more
powerful tools that can be used to do something for God. Healing is a
very powerful field – covers a multitude of sins. And publishing, which
involves the dissemination, distribution, promulgation, broadcast of the
word. All these are ways of talking the talk and walking the talk of
speaking the gospel and being of service. God loves you and so do I. It
really is very simple, but there are great opportunities for involvement
there. Those who have no involvements are complacent. 

Marty: You know, we’re getting our web site started now. 
GORMAN: Yes. Yes, I hear you are. And you are coming up with creative
solutions to programming it, patterning it, preparing it for exposure and
expression. Yes, this is a wonderful source of joy and service. 

Marty: We’re hoping that many people will find our work because of the
Google search facility.
GORMAN: Indeed, and because of networking. The value of interaction with
each other helps spread the word through the dimension of the Internet
itself. Of course, everyone doesn’t have Internet, but sometimes it
appears that this new global network of communication is a rather good
parallel to the circuits that are installed throughout the universes on
which all kinds of things take place, all manner of travel and exchange
occur. By getting familiar with this material grid work, you are really
practicing living in a morontial condition because you trust that someone
is over there, but you cannot see them. Just like you trust that I am
over here in this dimension even though you cannot see me. Just like you
can see the effects of my work. Just like I can see the effects of your
work. If I look. If I ask. If I pay attention. It’s only those who are
involved who are able to network. 
Google is – well, no I don’t want to say you might want to look into
buying stock in Google, but there’s certainly a future in charting
courses because of work such as Google’s. The copyright is lifted. Go for
it. Go get it. Here it is! Look there! And when they look there, it will
say, Oh, and him! And that! Them, too! Here we are! So, networking
becomes like – I don’t want to say like a spider web because it has
negative connotations and – yukky or icky overtones, -- but a webbing.
Perhaps like crocheting. Yes, drawing them all together into a tapestry.
That’s the image, yes.

Marty: Well, the networking also is a tremendous power. It brings the
information that’s needed to the whole movement.
GORMAN: Yes, and it reinforces those of you who are in isolation.
Marty: That’s me!
GORMAN: At this point there is still a great deal of isolation on
Urantia. But we are beginning to tap into the realm that Marshall was
talking about earlier. The "reality-izing", the 

Marty: The circuitry, it’s the circuitry of all the minds on the planet. 
GORMAN: Yes! 
Marty: Then in the galaxy.

GORMAN: It’s a recognition of intelligent life – here OR there! There is
life and then there is intelligent life. That’s what I meant to say.
There are dimensions. Just like there are seven mansion worlds. Which I
have yet to go through. Maybe I won’t have to. Like you, maybe you won’t
have to. Maybe we will all want to, but there are other dimensions that
we know are ahead of us, but we can’t get there until we do right here.

Marty: I have a question.
GORMAN: Okay.
Marty: Gorman, I have a question about midwayer life. That is about 

GORMAN: Hold on just a minute.

Gerdean: Marty, this is Gerdean. I just got the flash to check the tape
so I’m going to turn it over and then ask you to repeat that. I
apologize, but 
 better than losing it. [done] All right. I’m sorry.
GORMAN: Please, go ahead. Again.
Marty: My question was about the thought adjusters.
GORMAN: All right. 
Marty: I was just asking, if the midwayers – I don’t think they have
Thought Adjusters. But I really don’t know. And I was wondering what the
midwayers’ relationship is with that. 
GORMAN: All right.
Marty: Basically, what kind of guidance do they have of divine source? 

GORMAN: We have the two higher adjutants that are a lot better developed
than yours are. We’ve – you know, it’s said in your existence that 
 you
have the senses, of seeing and hearing and smelling and feeling and
tasting, and when – particularly the seeing and the hearing. When one
goes, the other is accentuated, so that perhaps you are deaf but you can
see things that someone who can hear wouldn’t necessarily see because
they would have their ears to provide that information and vice versa. So
if you don’t have something, something else is provided. Or comes into
play. 

It is true that we do not have the indweller, like you have, and there
have been many, many unsightly sagas in our ranks equivalent to envy, I
suppose, or self-pity, because here we are supposedly overseeing you
people. You people have the god-consciousness – indwelt – and you people
aren’t even paying any attention. So how are we going to do anything
about it when we don’t have it? That’s also been a great excuse for us to
be irresponsible, but I didn’t mean to get distracted with what our
difficulties have been. I’m just telling you that knowing we don’t have
the Father within (or the Son or the Mother!), we do have the two
adjutants: wisdom and worship, that we have learned to use, rely on.

We’ve gotten a lot of our wisdom from watching the planetary dysfunction,
but that cannot teach us anything until we have it 
 is it the word
"parlayed" 
 by those above us, and we have gotten that perspective from
the lower seraphim, like cherubim and sanobim who have helped us see with
a higher perspective. Formations and patterns of your behavior that has
given us something to work with. So we have gained wisdom and we have
learned how to worship in absolute amazement at what we’ve seen. I
particular, since we’ve had the pleasure of meeting and watching and
enduring the supreme privilege of the Creator Son of this local universe
coming here 
 to the "hood" 
 and we were enrapt from the minute we heard
he was coming. There was no possible way we could not have been
completely drenched in the living water that he brought. 

And that kicked our adjutant of worship into overdrive. Even though we
may not have seen God from our indwelling adjuster, we could certainly
see him. How he dealt with people, how they responded to him, how that
altered the whole hologram of reality. He was a dynamo! He changed us
all! He inspired us to turn ourselves inside out and become someone else,
and we have become United Midwayers because of him. And he was God, as
far as what difference does it make. He was God incarnate, as far as we
can see. We have to see how He is in a way we can understand him. It’s
not going to do me any good to perceive him like Monjoronson might
perceive him because I can’t perceive like Monjoronson perceives. It
would mean nothing to me. But seeing Jesus was like seeing God incarnate
and it was an impressive revelation.
So don’t feel sorry for me, you know. It’s not like I’ve been without. 

Marty: I’d just like to say this. You don’t have Father in you and you
don’t have Mother in you, but with the enhanced spirit of wisdom and the
spirit of worship, you do have the mother in you, and that is how it was
that you were able to appreciate the incarnation of Jesus. 

GORMAN: Absolutely. Absolutely. I’m telling you, Father does provide. I
have every confidence of that reality. It’s just that I am not indwelt
with a Fragment from Divinington. 

Marty: Is that something that’s permanent? Or will you eventually have
that fusion with the Father? 

GORMAN: Oh, we anticipate fusion of some sort. We will become spirit one
way or another, yes. It’s in the cards. It’s just not determined, to my
knowledge, how that comes about. I’m of the opinion, however, that it
will be paralleled with your experience, since we’ve been so close in so
many ways. The only thing is the tenure of my sojourn here has given me a
dimension that is one you can perhaps not understand until maybe we’ve
attained Havona. A long time will have to pass before you can truly
understand how long we’ve been here, because your life is really just the
blink of an eye. Even compared to my life. Imagine what it is compared to

. Well, you can’t imagine, so don’t bother.

Marty: Well, I appreciate all of that. I have thought about our
relationship with the midwayers and I was thinking of the ones that I
have come to know and thinking about the relationship that we would have
in the future epochs in our lives and in the Corps of Finality. 
GORMAN: Yes. 
Student: And I certainly look forward to eternity with all of these
friends and you. 

GORMAN: Yes, indeed. Thank you very much. I look forward to knowing you
eternally also. I have the assurance that any time I run into you I will
know I’m in a good place. I’m on "holy ground" as they say.
Marty: Thanks for coming tonight Gorman. We love you a lot. 
GORMAN: Thank you, my friend.
Marshall: Do you have time for a quick one, Gorman?
GORMAN: A quick one what?
Marshall: A quick question.
GORMAN: Certainly. Where am I going? 
Marshall: This is Marshall again. 
GORMAN: Yes. 

Marshall: Gorman, the last couple of weeks on Light Line -- two weeks ago
I asked Machiventa a question on this dawning new order of Urantia
citizens, an experimental heretofore nonexistent order comprised of the
mortal body blended with its morontia associate or counterpart, and he
went on to elaborate, as you probably know, and then last week on Light
Line Elyon answered some questions of mine confirming what my conjectures
were regarding the function of this new order. This order would be
becoming critical liaisons/ ambassadors representing the unseen planetary
administrators in some unrealized capacity at this point to their mortal
brothers and sisters. And then Sondjah on April 18th in northern
Colorado, and Elyon confirmed my suspicions, that Sondjah was setting the
stage in his lesson, was beginning to prepare us for this dawning new
reality during that Colorado lesson. It’s very interesting to me and
anything you could comment on regarding this blending morontia/mortal
being that I first heard about from Avonal George back in 
 a little
after Bill Kelly passed away 
 in mid-August. 

GORMAN: I will try to find a way to convey a perspective. I cannot begin
to speak for the Teachers and the big guys, but from my vantage point,
from my perspective, what I hear them saying is a hope-filled prediction
that you are grabbing a hold of because it promises you the opportunity
to live in a new dimension with the assistance of morontial realities
that will enable you to be an effective ambassador of the kingdom within
the realm and that men will see you by the nature of this reality that
has come to be as a result of this marriage between the mortal being and
the morontial reality. Is this right?
Student: I’m right with you so far, Gorman.

GORMAN: All right. This is simply the result of your decision to continue
to advance. This is you coming out of the darkness, coming in to the
morontial reality. Carry the reality that you are gleaning and owning as
yours as son of god, incorporating it into the fibers and sinews of your
essence, and altering you to become super mortal. You are becoming
superhuman is basically what these big guys are saying. And you are awed.
And I’m seeing it happen! I’m watching it happen to a lot of you guys and
girls. It’s the natural course, but we haven’t seen the natural course.
We’ve never lived at this phase of evolution before, either. Not on this
world. So, in many ways it’s very natural, even though it’s exhilarating.
But this is why and how the experiential life is necessary. This is how
you learn these spiritual realities, through the vehicle of your material
existence. 

Yes, the word "illusion" comes to mind but I’m not going to go into this
illusion stuff because it’s really more a reflection. Neither of them are
unreal, but you become More Real, as you advance. The thing is when you
start carrying around this morontial reality which you have earned
because of the choices you’ve made in the situations that have been in,
fed your soul, enlarged your god consciousness, enhanced your courage,
strengthened your faith, lifted your countenance, supported your truths –
when you take those out into the arena, they can see you coming.

There will be those who will be furious with you, who will try to destroy
you. There are those who will want to use you. Will flatter you, so that
they can get something from you that they want, thinking that is how
they’re going to get it. It’s going to arouse all manner of reactions and
responses in humanity, not necessarily the one you’re after. But they
have to get it that way. They have to go through their own – what do we
say? "karmic exercises"? They have to grow in their own spirit reality
just as you have had to grow in yours. From an animal origin being on a
dysfunctional planet like this one, into perfected sons of God. The
living God. That’s where we’re headed.

It is exciting! And that they come down, from their place On High to tell
you "this is where we’re going. Come with me. We can do this. This is
happening" and to see you rally, rise up and forge ahead into the
unknown, anticipating, "This is going to be fun! This is going to be
glorious!", this is good. This is wanting to do something. This is
wanting to be somebody. This is wanting to reflect the divine. This is
building a new paradigm of light and life. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Marshall: Really, Gorman! 
GORMAN: Okay?
Student: Thank you so much.
GORMAN: Thank you!
Marshall: It’s been uplifting and really a pleasure to hear you, an honor
and a joy, also.
GORMAN: It’s been great fun, to boot. Anything else?
Marty: Say hi to Sarah for me, Gorman. 
GORMAN: Sarah is here. Sarah has been observing, and for those of you who
aren’t familiar, Sarah is a secondary midwayer also, and she has worked
with Marty.
Marty: A lot of help, Sarah. Appreciate it very much.
GORMAN: She’s quite a wonderful personality, very supportive.
Marshall: Who else is there?

GORMAN: Well, it’s not quite the same as when we are in your living room,
because this is more of a circuit and less of an arena, but there are
even so ways to tap in. I know that Sarah is here because she wanted to
come with me into the experience, since she also knows some of you. But
there are many who are monitoring our conversation. Let me look and see
who all is here, if I can. One moment.

Well, I see a smattering of midwayers, about a dozen morontia companions
in company with the cherubim I mentioned earlier. There are 1, 2, 3, 4,
-- 6 student visitors from other worlds. Abraham is looking on. 
Marshall: Hello, Abraham.

GORMAN: Machiventa is apprised. And for the record, our record is being
archived on this end by some transcribers or recorders in the morontia
companions, so anyone can read the transcript and find out if I’ve been
adequate to the task or if I perhaps could use some counsel or indeed if
I have perhaps been an inspiration to my fellows. 
Marshall: You have, my friend.

GORMAN: Well, I’m glad you think so. I was technically speaking more of
my fellow midwayers, because we learn from each other gladly. Would that
you would learn how to learn from each other, as well. But you are still
more competitive than not. This too shall pass as you enhance yourself
through this actualizing process we’ve been touching upon all evening.
The results of group effort is so rewarding and so invigorating, it
almost makes you want to become a part of a like-minded group of
individuals interested in doing something together, even if it’s for a
short time, because it’s a way of getting yourself outside of yourself,
you see. It’s a way of becoming self-forgetful because you are concerned
about the project, then you are living a marvelous reality with your
motives directed towards service and creativity. This is living! 

We’ll get to more of that later. I think my T/R is wearing out. I think,
too, that I would be in error if I did not also point out the obvious,
and that is that our Michael Son prevails in all we do and the Divine
Minister contributes to our every act. So we’ve had a good crowd this
evening. Thank you all for coming. It gives me great happiness and hope
when I see your eager faces looking up to the supernals for counsel and
companionship. I’m glad you were content with me this evening. I
certainly did have a wonderful time. Later!
