September 12, 1999

*	Machiventa (Sarah):  This is Machiventa.  (If anyone) feels uncomfortable
about any part of this vision, I ask you to remove yourself from the circle and
maybe go outside.  I don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable.  You will have a
vision today.  Sarah will help you with the first part of it.
	Hello.  Please trust.  I would like each of you to try to separate the
spirit from the physical.  This in no way hampers you.  Try to feel yourself
lifting on a level and going to the top of the room, the ceiling.  (Sarah:  This
is the hardest part; it takes so much for me to get through the ceiling out.  I
was very confused about this for a long time, but lifting off of the ceiling
is....  When you get there, you're all right.  Now you will see the teachers and
the guides.  Machiventa will start here.)
	Today I would like to show you in more than the physical way, in a
spiritual being of yourself to go that one step closer to universal mind, one
step beyond what ordinary people do, although I think you are ordinary.
Hold the
hand of your teacher, this can be anyone.  Let him help you go along.  You may
feel that you are traveling.  This will be your vision, so what you may
happen to
want or do is the way to do it.  But we must move along and progress in a higher
spirituality.
	I would like for you to take a couple moments and to stop here and decide
if you want to go back or if you want to go forward.
	We will proceed and come upon a big, green valley with many wildflowers, a
beautiful place, and we see Michael standing there waiting for us.  He will take
the hand of each of you, and your guide will have the other hand.  Stop to see
what your feelings are at this point.  Envision what you see, what you want from
this point forward.  Again, you are in the middle, Michael is there, and your
favorite teacher is there.  So, you proceed as you see fit.
	At this time I would like for you to give some sort of a feeling or a
vision.  The traveling out of the ordinary is overwhelming, but if we are to go
into a higher knowledge of spiritual experiences, we have to start somewhere.  I
would like for you to say something about how you feel about it.  We will start
off with Sarah.
	Sarah:  I get to this point and I can't go anywhere, I am so overwhelmed
with love by having these two great teachers on the sides of me.  I feel like I
could sit down and cry, I am so emotional.  The greatness that is beyond the
life
on Urantia and to be able to hold the hand of Michael is just about more than I
can handle.
	Would someone else speak up maybe on their feeling? 
	Ginnie:  I see lots of color, variegated wildflowers.  I feel very light
and very soft and pretty normal, like this is where I should be and wanting to
leave all that other stuff behind and know that these beings will be there all
the time.  A great desire to spend more time in this realm and less time
with the
heaviness of our lives now.   
	Mary "#2":  I fly with my teacher like Superman, arms outstretched; I see
Michael on the green hills and yell, "Hi, Michael!" like we're old friends.  I
don't even know if I know him, but I feel like we're old friends.  Even before
you told us to hold the teacher's hand I know I wanted my teacher to come with
me.
	Thinking where to go from here, I want to stay on Urantia as long as
possible to grow and learn and help Urantia evolve and grow.  My biggest fear is
that I will have to leave before I get to do what I need to do.  But they are
always around me anyway, here on earth.
	Jonathan:  I felt that fuzzy feeling of spiritual association and 
camaraderie with the teachers.  Then meeting Michael and holding hands, I felt
very small like a toddler in bib overall shorts, arms stretched up to these
immense personalities.  I began to realized how much more is in store for me to
gain in personality experience.  These beings are very advanced and have not
lost
touch with the fact that they have brothers and sisters at stages of
progression. 
I am one of these, and they care so much for me.  There's no sense of, "You're
just a little peon.  You'll get it."  There's warmth and acceptance and a deep
desire to share.
	Mary:  I was called away during our meditation by Clair.  I'm struck by the
metaphor of my experience with her with what Jonathan is relating and our
relationship with Michael.  Clair was about to get upset about something
happening that she didn't understand and hurt a little.  I assessed that she
could handle it.  My calmness and assurance helped her to not go over the edge. 
Pretty soon it was over.  We experience the Clair-side of that equation with
Michael.  I request that, when I have those times of being afraid, I will be
assisted in knowing that everything is okay.
	Jael:  I don't I get a vision.  I never have been able to visualize things,
so I go on feelings.  I get upliftment and no fear, comfort in trust that I am
uplifted all the time by Michael and the teachers.
	Jada:  I feel great peace, of being protected, being in touch at the core
of my being.
	Tom:  I get that I am at a crossroads and there is some need for my
services in healing.  Reflecting on what I deem important, it seems
unimportant. 
As to my willingness to go forward, I wouldn't go backwards for anything.
*	Machiventa:  Is everyone finished?
	I would like to advise at this point that you can continue this sort of
vision, but take only me, Machiventa, or Elyon with you.  Nothing can happen as
long as you have these great teachers.  But we need to not let it get out of
hand
by an imagination, or something like that.  So, please travel with Elyon or
myself, and we will return.
	Going back into the physical will be very fast and simple, just visualize
it and we are here.  This is all for now.
	Ginnie:  I would like to ask what is meant by "traveling"?  What happens
when we travel to a higher place?
	Sarah:  I would rather (Jonathan) answer that.
*	Elyon (Jonathan):  This is Elyon.  I greet you as always with warmth and
friendship and love and can't express enough how much I enjoy our association. 
You might find it humorous for me to say that it is an honor to be in your
presence, but I do feel that way.
	This question you ask regarding traveling is multifaceted, and it is not
unlike this process of transmitting and receiving.   To be projected into a
higher realm, from the Urantia perspective, is accomplished through several
techniques.  Firstly, your Indwelling Spirit has immediate and direct connection
to Paradise at the center of all things and, being the quality of being that
this
Father Fragment is, it has access to perception and knowledge and other beings
throughout the entire universe.  Because of this reality you can experience
traveling.
	For the beginner this experience is local.  You as a personality may not
travel far, only far enough to express your acceptance and willingness to
experience such an activity, and the Father will meet you the rest of the way
with the vision and the projection from the Thought Adjuster.  Those who have
made great strides in personality balance and in personal centeredness can
experience actual travel to other universe locations in the custody of the
Divine
Spirit.
	When I reference this form of activity to transmitting and receiving, it is
because there are times when teachers like myself must convey our messages over
circuits and bring them to your location while we are yet elsewhere.  Other
times
we are definitely present among you.  I do access the lessons of the
Melchizedeks
and will present them to you.  I also will compose my own thoughts and
inspiration for you to receive.  Other times I work with you and your
experiences
and your thought patterns to enhance an understanding of yourself based on these
givens within yourself.  It would be like you being a drawer of kitchen
utensils,
only your utensils are in disarray, and I merely stimulate rearrangement for you
to gain greater insight, rather than place in the drawer another item.
	It is good to consider this form of travel as an inner journey.  You are
familiar with the term "out of body".  I would re-call it "beyond body",
going so
deep as to pass through to another side, the morontia realm.  Not all
personalities are configured to be able to easily undergo such an
"inliftment" or
upliftment.  Do know that, whether you project yourself beyond your physical
location or not, many of the guides for spiritual advancement are streaming in
toward you to be where you are and assist you.  But the importance of all
this is
for you to understand that the realm of your being is much grander and far more
extended than simply your body and your mind and the makeup of your character. 
Your lines of connection, your range of influence, extend into the mind circuits
and, through the Father's Presence, is capable of a vast universe reach. 
Machiventa encourages you to reach to the higher realms, for it is in the
reaching that you attain the skills and the abilities not only to travel but to
assist other beings in accomplishing tasks of ministry and healing for others.
	When you are away on a trip it is not uncommon for any one of us to reflect
upon home and wonder how it is faring without one's presence.  You do this in
regards to your house, your friends and neighbors.  I do this in regards to the
constellation worlds and my friends and fellow ascenders.  It would be a good
exercise for everyone, where you are, even when you are at your home, to
visualize and wonder how home, your home of Salvington, is faring.  If we each
shift our residence to this planet, Salvington, our perspectives on life,
opportunity, and obstacles will drastically change.
	I repeat Machiventa's request that when you undertake such travels that you
go with Michael or go with Machiventa, for these beings know well how to guide
you.  Do not fear that others may harass you, for the errant personalities
throughout the system have been restricted from manipulating others.  But the
human personality is not so certain of what lies beyond the range of human
vision
and experience.  Go with those you trust.
	I hope this has provided you with some thoughts to consider.
