Teacher Samuel: “This is your Teacher, Samuel. Together with your counterpart’s Teacher (Aaron), I have prepared for you a lesson for this evening.  However, since it is so important, and has been subject of your discussions on this day, I come back to you about the subject of ego.
 
“Even those who teach psychology on your world will often look upon the ego as something that can be inherently bad.  I say to you, the ego is part of the personality and it does, and must, persist in life beyond the terrestrial.  It is initially a very important survival mechanism to a mortal, largely for her or him to take up an appropriate place in the community, to through charm, or insistence, and myriad other ways, reserve one’s position within the herd.
 
“As I previously explained; during any future lifetime, as you are traveling on your journey through the universes, it is essential that you learn from those who are ahead of you, and it is equally important for you to understand and teach those who follow behind you, for their egos will still be progressing, purifying, improving.  Should the human ego, such an important part of the personality, be missing in you, if such were possible, you would lack understanding of those who follow you.  Therefore, you would truly be an inadequate teacher to them.
 
“It is essential for ego to remain as part of the personality, and to be honed till it is sharp, tuned till it rings true, shined till it glows in God’s light.  It is always important to go out from the point of view that those who are ‘below you’ in their journey -- their ascension -- those who will be your students, and perhaps still without a balanced ego -- must be totally understood by you.  Without an ego, you would no longer comprehend the difficulties that your life brought you in the past, and consequently you would not comprehend the difficulties, which those who follow you would need to overcome.
 
“As we have noted already, it is vital that your ego will shine like it is new, be polished like a gem, be in harmony and be well balanced.  The widespread teaching that explains the ego to be something bad, something that must be gotten rid of, is gravely in error.  The Father-endowed Gift of a personality includes the ego, and ego cannot be vanquished.  It is there to be perfected.
 
“I thank you for taking in my lesson, dear students.  I say adieu for now.  Do find the time to discuss, to talk, to question, and to call on us more often.  Enjoy each other’s company and know that I will be at your service at any time you call on me.  Good bye.”
 
George: “Thank you, Samuel.”

Transcript 2

Illawarra District, Australia, February 18, 2009.
Samuel of Panoptia and Aaron.
Subject: “Forgiveness.”
 
Received by George Barnard.
 
Samuel: “Many are gathered here, surrounding you, and even a larger number are assembled at some distance, focusing on, listening to, and appreciating the vibrations, I shall call them, of this group.  Enjoying the assistance (facilitating) of Midwayer Chief Bzutu and your dear friend, Mathew, this is Samuel of Panoptia.
 
“For our previous meeting we had undertaken to provide you with a lesson on forgiveness, however through circumstances (requests) you were given some more opportune details about the essential future retention of the ego as part of the personality.  This evening we want to give you our short lesson on forgiveness, as for a number of years already, Teacher Aaron and I have been working together with a number of students all over the globe.  Presently, I may be considered the group Teacher for the 11:11 Progress Group, but both of us have other students, most of whom we contact subliminally through the aid of our Midwayer helpers.
 
“To the point now.  Forgiveness.  Forgiveness of self is an important thing. It is difficult for any of you to forgive another if you are not totally capable of, first of all regretting, but also forgiving, yourself for those things that you may have done wrong in the past, and equally for those things you may have perceived to have done wrong in the past.  Yet all of your lives are known beforehand, are foreseen on Paradise, and perhaps on many occasions it is indeed God’s will for you to learn by, but certainly from, your mistakes.  Consider this.
 
“It is important for you to reflect upon those things you have done in the past and then contemplate that only the future is important in respect to what you have learned from your past experiences.  So powerful is unforgiveness on this planet that it functions not only in individuals, but also in nations, as well as in the devotees of certain religions towards the religions of others.  For your world to become peaceful, it is absolutely vital that you, individually, and first of all, learn to forgive and look towards others and other groups in a more congenial way.
 
“I thank you for your question about Urantia’s future.  My answer to you is that we do not have a crystal ball.  We are not generally informed about future worldly happenings.  There may be peace.  There may yet be another world war.  But peace will come and reign for a prolonged space of time, and when that time is right a Paradise Citizen of great wisdom, of great love, and yes, of great courage and undertakings, will be with you.
 
“Both Aaron and I send you our best wishes.  We want you to understand and know that you are greatly loved by us all.  Until we speak again.  This is Aaron and Samuel saying farewell for now.”
 
George: “This is George.  Thank you all.”
