* Solonia (Daniel TR): You know how much we cherish the encounters that are . .. all so willing to share. The spiritual growth that we experience in our service to you, our beloved younger siblings, is astounding. Indeed you learn from us and gain the beginning inklings of wisdom here on this torn world. That we have been a part of this supreme metamorphosis it brings us an emotion which few have had the honor and privilege of experiencing. Your personal dedication is already legendary, for you each have gone through so very much, and yet here you are. You have come out on top. You are more than our students; beloveds, you are colleagues and compatriots. You step forward in service so many times unbeknownst even to you. You do this out of your deep love for our infinite Father, our cherished Sovereign Son, our all-embracing Mother. You judge yourselves as less than you truly are even when you experience the intimate understanding of what it is you are doing and feel that personal sense of spiritual accomplishment. Even in these times when you may accuse yourself of pridefulness, I assure you you have underestimated the reality of your loving service. There is not one among you who does not serve our Sovereign's purpose for this world simply because of who you are and indeed who you have become and are becoming. Your hues are individual and unique and yet the blend of your diverse lights illuminates beyond what your limited experience can comprehend. Our Father's light is reflected through you in a way that touches the lives and the soul experiences of brethren you may never meet until you attain the mansion worlds. I assure you each one will be astounded at those who will one day celebrate your arrival on the shores of mansonia.

You work here as individuals truly, and yet your reach is compounded by your unity of purpose, your love and appreciation of diversity throughout this deeply felt unity. You truly have come to realize that it is relatively unimportant whether or not you see alike, for you know it in your souls and you experience when you gather like this the deep and precious united purpose. You are a force for good, for the will of our heavenly Father. You each serve in the way that has been evolved in partnership with your spirit of our Father. There is no one of you or indeed one of us who is more important than another. At the same time there is none who is less important, for we each express our gift of the heavenly Father in our unique personality traits. Throughout the universe of universes we will discover that there are no duplicates. All are individually and uniquely cherished; each perceived in the experience of perfection in a wholly new and beautiful way. This is how we each become our individual and cognizant self part of the Almighty Supreme.

We experience this together, all of us. We celebrate together, all of us. On this day of the mortal birth anniversary of our beloved Michael Son, we all stand united in our awe and in our thanksgiving for the gift he gave to us all on that day when he began his mortal bestowal on your rebellion torn planet of Urantia. It is an honor to serve here. Let us all remember this as we struggle with our tasks. This is Solonia and I truly cherish our times together with you all.

* Michael (Mark): It is I, your father, your brother, and your comrade in this journey you have just so recently begun, my young siblings. You come today to honor me with your ceremony, and I accept your honor and your praise. I come here today to honor you, each one. It is because you have chosen to be here now, it is because of the extension of your faith as individuals, that I have been able to access this form of communication with you. I have been reaching out to you, my comrades, and here and now you reach to me and allow this communication to occur.

Therefore do I honor you each one for having arrived at this place in your developing, for welcoming my approach in your lives, and for choosing to follow me. No more could be asked of any children than that they have the desire to seek their parents and to follow in their footsteps. You here tonight honor me with this gift. I embrace your gifts. I honor you for having made this choice so far away and yet so certainly in my direction, in our direction, to the Father. The journey before you is a glorious one, as you are beginning to taste even in this life. But I desire even still to be even closer to you, each one. I desire to find ways in which you may feel my presence in your lives each day more fully. Because each one of you here has been bold in your search for spirit and you have as well earned this level of participation in spirit, I then desire to touch you, each one. I ask you to join me to allow me to accomplish this task by please all rising and forming a circle in the room, if you would. I would ask this of you that you further develop your faith by embracing the reality that you in your world may function as I may have you function.

I would ask that you place your right hand on the shoulder of the individual next to you. I would ask you to realize that even now in this time, in this instant, I ask you to perform a function for me. I ask you to represent me in our touch. I ask you to be my hands to my siblings, to my children. I ask you to join in this effort with me as an exercise that we may strengthen the circle of faith that you may realize I may be with you as you and through you. This is how I may function in your world; through your mouths, through your hands, through your feet do I function on your world now. I resolve to make you, each one; I charge you each one, to manifest those qualities of me that you are able to grasp. I ask you to be there for my children as I would be there for them. I endow you with this ability now and forever more that if you will work with me, I will work with you, that we may form a union and we may manifest spirit reality even now. All things are possible in spirit and in union with the will of the Father. This relationship that we even now build strengthens and grows and bonds us as we exercise our spirit potentials together. I will leave, and you have so generously offered to follow as you do even now.

Remember the touch of my hand on your shoulder. Remember the touch of my hand reaching out from you to another. These are symbols in the material world but are ever present realities of spirit. Thank you, each one, for this simple extension implies your willingness to work with me, indeed, to follow me. For this I am grateful. Thank you for that exercise and try to remember that union that is formed not only between myself and yourself but between any circle of believers as we have now. We can return to gain strength from this memory, from this feeling, that we now share and is now ours as our possession. I withdraw now but I never leave you. I am always there at your side, indeed, with my hand on your shoulders. Take me with you through your journey. Walk with me through your life. Together it will be a glorious occasion. Farewell.
