Religion, Spirituality, Science.

Samuel of Panoptia.
Received by George Barnard.

Samuel: "They are tiny, tiny morsels of information we are allowed to present to you, because after all we belong to, and are part of, progress. These tiny morsels embody new understandings given to you, and therefore they can be seen as revelationary material, additional to the Urantia Papers' text you were presented with some 60 years ago. There is an opportunity for us here to follow on somewhat from where Chief Bzutu left off in the discussion of the 11:11 time-prompts, and perhaps we can enlarge on some aspects.

"As soon as an evolutionary world of the decimal kind is inhabited by humans, that are showing the first aspects of the tendency towards worship and wisdom, intuitive thoughts about the invisible world will surface. Capacity for wisdom plus worship, and curiosity about celestial realities are interlinked, they belong together. One follows the other, the other follows one. And so it is that certain individuals in a group may have spiritual experiences in the sense that they somehow encounter one of their 'less-than-clearly-visible' kin. And so, perhaps, the first elements of a strong religion may be born when truths are proclaimed, and ways to live by, and worship by, are forced onto others in the group.

"Spirituality, in its purest form, deals with a fearless acceptance of celestial over-care, and generally also of belief in a continued existence beyond mortal life. Religion deals with certain sacrifice, certain regimentation, and obligations one must live by to achieve that same eternal life.

"It is often difficult to separate religion from spirituality, because almost always both are present in the one individual. Very often these two are greatly intermingled, yes, and very often these two are hard to tease apart. An expectancy of care, love and affection from the celestial world is mixed with 'one must do this, and one must do that' by stipulated rules belonging to a certain cult in order for one to belong, and be 'accepted by, the Gods, and by the group.'

"It is with the 11:11 time-prompt that, for the first time, one is given a tangible, noticeable aspect of communication when one can say that here is not a spiritual experience that can be passed on to others to become yet another religion. Here is something that you can see, that you can touch, that you can experience. Here you can be assured that with a humble attitude, and with persistent meditation practice, you can make contact with the spirit world.

"The 11:11 experience is a workable scientific process of spiritual involvement. It can be duplicated, time and again. This is something that has come around only for the very first time on your planet.

"This is your Friend and Teacher, of many seasons. This is Samuel. I thank you and Mathew for your cooperation and attention."

George: "Thank you, Teach."
