Illawarra District, Australia, September 22, 2006.
Primary Midwayer Andréa.
Received by George Barnard.
Andréa: “We are now breaking some of the newly implemented rules. We are changing the entire
schedule once again, and here we are having a discussion today when it is almost tomorrow.
“This is Andréa, my dear friends. It is good to be with you. It is good to be with you in the morning,
and it is good to be with you at this late hour, also, for my love is always with you, and I call on you many times
each day. You are my treasured students with whom I cannot spend too many hours. We will talk at this time about
religion and spirituality.
“In the black and white world which most of you inhabit, you tend to think of a person as being one or the
other; religious or spiritual. And yet it is almost always a to-you-indefinable mixture of both. One can be religious
and be a spiritual person, and indeed, one can be a spiritual person and very religious at the same time.
“In your world, any world in the entire universe of universes, humanity is made up out of much sameness within
the group, and yet many differences between the individuals. In religious/spiritual essence everyone is different,
and therefore one will come across any combination of religious conviction and spirituality and even the absence
of one or both. All in the group are deserving of respect and of being treated equally, and lovingly.
“Generally, one might say that there is a tendency for the progressive human to move from religion toward spirituality
as she or he ages a little and acquires maturity, often preferring to set aside dogma that was long cherished for
new-found faith in the unconditional love of God.
“With this, I have covered most of what we were going to discuss earlier this evening, and what we tried to
discuss (two days ago), when we were interrupted, but which could not be helped. Suffice to say this simple lesson
is an important one nevertheless.
“At this point, I want to add just a little to this lesson, and answer a comment about the Urantia Papers.
Very many readers, who at first come across the book, will see it as containing very little in the way of spiritual
notions, and indeed, it was not designed to be a holy book.
“The Urantia Book was compiled to be informative. It was designed to correct many documentation errors, and
outright untruths. It is for you to study. It is for you to learn about the celestial hierarchy, your local universe
organization, the evolution of your planet, and the life of the Creator Son, who dwelt among you.
“Your spiritual progress cannot come from a book, to be sure. Such development is in your hands, entirely,
though aided by us, and yet for those who are sadly lacking in both religious as well as spiritual insight, the
(Urantia) Papers, and not to our surprise, are the frequent starting points therefore. Trust in the intellect that
is harbored on High to get it right.
“This is Andréa, always enjoying my chats with you. I say farewell for now.”
George: “Thank you Andréa. It’s now tomorrow.”
