*	Mother Spirit (Jill):  Revelation of spiritual truth is
misunderstood by the peoples of Urantia.  You have learned, to use
Mark's expression, from being on record, to learn about life in your
young years and then on playback in your adult years, you have
learned somehow that spiritual revelation is for the chosen few, for
the prophet.  This, my children, is not true.  Each of you is capable
of having truth revealed through you.  That is what revelation means,
the process of revealing.  Our Father does not choose any above
another.  It is your desire to know your Father and to know that He
can speak directly with you that opens the door for daily revelation. 
The process you have been going through these past years is to
strengthen your resolve of knowing that revelation is not something
only for the Ghandis to have, only for the Mother Tersesas to have,
only for the various saints to have.  The reason they receive is
because of their sense of complete oneness with God.  Anyone of my
children may have this when they choose it.  I encourage each of you
to change that tape in your head and trust the beautiful revelations
you truly do receive every single day.  Look for them; listen for
them; feel them through your five senses.  God speaks in miraculous
ways and reveals truth, not always with concepts of mind or words in
the head.  Look for His revelation each day this week and know that
greater sense of oneness that is your birthright.  
	This is Mother Spirit, and it is a joy to be with you today.   
*	Evanson  (Jonathan):  Greetings to you.  I witnessed in your
conversation your frustrations and your acknowledgments of your
shortcomings as you perceive them, for we do not believe your
shortcomings are defaults, defects, as we have the longer range view. 
You know that a shortcoming acknowledges a less-than-desired
attainment, but this word would be better dropped and instead
substituted with the word acknowledge where you can see ahead to what
is attainable.  In a sense I will break down knowledge into two
words: acknowledge and ledge.  A ledge, like a cliff over a chasm,
appears ominous and difficult to cross.  When you perceive these
shortcomings, you are gaining your knowledge; you now know what to
work on.  At these times shift to discerning the means whereby you
may cross the chasm of inexperience, of lack of understanding.  Seek
ways in which you may provide revelation landfill that may help you
bridge over to the solid ground you seek at a higher level of
behavior.  My purpose in expressing this to you today is to attempt
to draw your attention away from failure at execution and place it
upon your success in perceiving what is attainable.  When you break
something, the first impulse is to seek to fix it.  This applies not
only to objects but to your own personality ascent.  Cultivate the
reflexive action toward reparation and acquirement of higher skills. 
Make your recognition of shortcoming but a fleeting moment that
catapults you into your new project for growth.  There is far too
much work and time to be spent  attaining this new level to be wasted
brooding over your failures.
	This is Evanson.  Thank you.
*	Malvantra  (Mark):  This is Malvantra again, and I would add
some more to the words of Evanson.  I would suggest that you adopt
the strategy of turning your disappointments into what you would
perhaps consider to be the exact opposite.  Look with excitement upon
your disappointments, for they have shown you your next growth level;
they have pointed out to you that aspect of your being that should be
focused on to become a more perfect, more complete soul.  Indeed, we
look upon your realization of your shortcomings, as you see them, as
a breakthrough in which the doors are open to growth, to the
challenge presented before you of your apparent failure.
	No individual is a perfect, complete unit, and in order to
become more perfect you must, in your course of activities, discern
where you are not perfect and where the work lies to change that
situation.  It is indeed a blessing for you to have the realization
that a particular area of your being requires some service on your
part.  If you would look at this service to your own soul growth as
you would look at the service you so eagerly seek to be about for
other individuals, perhaps you would put into better perspective that
the very sense of desiring to serve others can be turned inward
toward your own soul growth.  When an area of your soul growth is
illuminated that needs and, indeed, requires your service, you should
rejoice with this awareness, with this perception, for you now have
some starting point to work to actually be of service to your own
self.  Therefore, when you perceive that you have failed, delight
that you have shown yourself the area in which you need to focus and
be of service to yourself so that your overall being can become more
perfect.  Every being is challenged with many such imperfections in
their being, and it is the resolution of these imperfections which
constitutes soul growth. 
	I would speak on the subject of fusion, as I perceive it is of
interest.  First I express my gratitude that it is of interest to
you, that this ball has been put into play and been volleyed around
successfully.  It is important for you, in your ascension, to
actively strive to lift off the limitations which everyone has
applied to their own situation.  As was mentioned before, many of
these limitations may be repercussions of previously learned material
throughout your life.  You, in your process of ingesting truths, may
have, in error, told yourself that such conditions would never be
available to you; that only superhuman beings may avail themselves of
this particular technique.  As I stated last week, I desire that you
lift this limitation off your being, that you embrace the potential
that all individuals have access to this avenue of ascension through
your stillness practice, through your discipline, and through your
efforts it is entirely possible for you to be so synchronized with
your Adjuster that you would be advanced to the next level without
the normal evolutionary progression having to take effect.  This is a
potential which has been underestimated for quite some time; indeed,
it has been unknown on your world for most of its existence.  You in
this room have become aware of this potential through your studies,
your lessons, and therefore you are head and shoulders above most of
your brothers and sisters who do not even possess awareness of this
Fragment within them, let alone the ability to become one with this
Inner Fragment.  It therefore behooves you to present yourself with
certainty as to the presence of this indweller, as to the eventual
fusion with this indweller, and to the harmonious coexistence with
this indweller until that time.  From our perspective, we see that
time is all that is required  for this sequence of events to take
place, and that, in our eyes, you have already achieved this goal; it
is simply time and experience that lie between you and this destiny. 
If you were to make this comfortable with your brothers and sisters
around you, that this is an eventuality, it could offer great peace
of mind to many of those who are quite uncertain of their destiny as
well as many of those who suspect this to be their destiny.  So, be
joyful when discoursing with those around you that you are safe and
secure in the eventuality of this realization.  As you gaze upon
them, instruct them that you are also certain of this eventual
reality for them, as it is in store for all.  
	To address your question -- which I am aware of -- there have
been definite examples of mortals of your realm in your time who have
reached a level of devotion so as to transcend the material steps of
dissolution and morontia status.  I decline to give individual names
as this might foster unusual amounts of attention to any individual. 
I would leave you with the  knowledge that this is more than a
potential; this is an actual waiting to happen.  All that is required
is the dedication on your parts individually to desire and to pursue
it.  Many times this intensity does not occur until an individual is
in an extremely stressful or life threatening situation, but it does
occur.  You would be well ahead of the game to aspire toward this
eventuality in full awareness and with full preparation.  As I
stated, it is not if, it is only when, and it is only the difference
between sooner or later.
	I leave you with that certainty.  Thank you for hearing my
words today.
	Jonathan:  Springing from this, we read about attaining the
first psychic circle which prepares us to fuse.  The book says that
to fuse we must then unify our experience.  A musical analogy might
be that the seven psychic circles might be like recording seven
tracks of a song to tape.  When we work on ourselves to the point of
laying down that seventh track, there still is the mixing to produce
a balanced song.  Can you comment on what remains between attaining
that final circle and the event of fusion?
*	Malvantra:  Picture this, if you will:  You may individually,
carefully and slowly work on each individual track and step until you
have defined them to your satisfaction.  Then imagine having
developed through this process the capability at one time to do a
live take where everything simultaneously and with correctness
transpires.  Does this provide you with an image?
	Jonathan:  Yes, very much so. Thank you.  
	Tom:  Why would one aspire to fusion when so many service
opportunities are on this planet right now?  I understand that as
finaliters we return to planets much like our origin, anyway. 
Wouldn't we enjoy a greater opportunity for service to postpone that
fusion until later?  Is it possible to fuse and stay around? 
*	Malvantra:  You should aspire toward the eventual goal of
fusion for the sake of the aspiration.  This desire is a propellant
and is a focal point for your energies.  Many times you will discover
that having sought after a goal, upon arrival it was the journey to
the goal that was the important factor.  The aspiration toward
becoming one with the Adjuster would be sufficient propellant to
align you more so with that Adjuster.  It is true that of your own
free will you would choose to alter this course, to postpone this
course, to redirect this course so as to gain more of the journey. 
It is the journey that is the building up of life experiences into
your personal library which is significant.  Fusion is the cherry on
top; it is the carrot at the end of the rope, what you are reaching
and striving for, all the while taking many steps to get there, all
of which are valuable to you in your soul-growth career.  So true,
live life to the fullest as you are here.  Do not make the mistake of
not gaining the experience that is offered to you while in this state
with the idea that you must hurry and somehow get to fusion.  It is
not important, as I said before, It is a pre-acknowledged fact, your
fusion.  You should rest securely in that.  The only question now is
how and when and how much in between can be stored by your personal
library.  True, do not reach for fusion as some final goal you must
hurry and attain, because the journey to the inevitable is what it
takes to reach the inevitability.
*	Machiventa (Daniel):  This is Machiventa.  I would add one
small comment to what my brother has shared and that is you will only
attain fusion if you wholeheartedly pursue and at the same time
understand that the actual fusion itself will not occur one moment
before you are personally ready for it to happen.  You need not worry
that you will miss something if you fuse prematurely.  There is no
such thing as a premature fusion.  You will certainly be absolutely
ready for the moment if you wholeheartedly walk towards it.  That is
all I would add.  
	Jonathan: I understand you are saying the potential, the almost
ready to happen, fusion is like the hour has not yet come when we are
soulfully satisfied with all the experiences prior to fusion.  Then
we can say, "It is finished", and the event will occur.  Is that what
you mean?
