*	Elyon (Jonathan TR):  Greetings, this is Elyon, your 
longtime teacher  and friend.
	I have been away while you received your instructions from 
Machiventa regarding your value as a participant in this 
Correcting Time.  You were encouraged to extend yourselves 
willingly in the furtherance of this mission and were assured of 
your support by our teaching staff.  You have all very well come 
to realize how integral your position as humans in this Teaching 
Mission is with our attendance here on Urantia.  Michael also 
assured you that you are fully capable of your role and its 
performance.  With Michael acknowledging your abilities you are 
more than prepared for service ministry.  Today I wish to 
address the sense of personal value, of self worth, for it will 
support the lesson you received last week.
	All who hold Michael in great veneration recognizing this 
Creator Son as a divine being, as one more than a prophet, 
greater than a sage, know that the small human self is unable to 
perform fully in the manner by which Michael did so on your 
world, for you are not of creator status.  However, by means of 
others’ presences and the infusion of Michael’s spirit you do 
actually have within you creator qualities.  If in humility you 
acknowledge your human limitations and accept the sphere within 
which you are capable of functioning for spirit solely by 
oneself, and realize the additional qualities of spirit within 
you and in your proximity; you extend beyond your terrestrial 
presence and embrace and express celestial qualities which are 
akin to Michael’s presence as Jesus.  He said when on this world 
that he must go away that he may return in power.  This return 
in power is by and through your association with him.  In 
partnership with Michael, Michael becomes present on this world 
in millions of ways.
	It is commonly understood that often others are able to 
perceive qualities in yourself that you may not recognize, for 
they are too close to perceive.  You do welcome notification of 
qualities, be they those in need of correction or those you 
could amplify if you knew such a good trait was functioning 
within you.
	There is the other side of the coin and that is that you 
know yourself from within as no one else does.  Another looks 
upon you as one clothed in a garment.  You look from within as 
one encased in coverings that provide for your ability to 
function socially.  It is your presentation.  It is the ego 
self.  Naturally does one present the best for others.
	You know when you have acquired a new garment that you are 
pleased to wear it, to present it.  It causes a feeling of 
freshness, of newness and this reverberates within, a sense of 
well-being.  You know the feeling when your attire is tired, a 
sense of shabbiness, a sense of slovenliness, and it reflects to 
your inner being, and you lower your sense of self.  This is an 
external effect upon you which you have control over.
	As you step forward in ministry clothe yourself in the 
garments of light.  Enshroud yourself in the spirit presence of 
Michael’s truth.  Such raiment will reflect back within yourself 
and lift you personally.  You will be assured of the 
appropriateness and value of your work for spirit.
	You have been told much of the effort of spirit within, and 
you are encouraged greatly to practice stillness to bring forth 
spirit from deep within you to the surface of your life.  While 
this is a valuable undertaking, also realize that while you 
spend much of your conscious time at the surface of your being 
interfacing with your world, you are going to recognize more of 
your faults and frailties, for this is the rugged zone of 
yourself that has been affected by events in your life, by your 
choices.  You have on your garments stains and tears and 
tatters, even a little deeper scars from injury.  These weigh in 
your sense of worth for spirit.
	Michael has said that he will lift your burdens.  He said 
that he will reside with you, that he will pour his spirit out 
upon you.  The garments of spirit cover up, even erase, the 
flaws of one’s human self.  Not only from within but descending 
from without upon you comes spirit.  You are embraced in a 
twofold manner.  Accept your acceptance by Machiventa to be a 
missionary of the Correcting Time.  Receive your authorization 
from Michael who is the power behind your intentions and 
subsequent action.  Trust me when I tell you that spirit within 
you and around you will compensate your shortcomings and amplify 
your assets.
	Thank you for your attention.  I remain with you.

*	Hogan:  Greetings to you, this is Hogan.  I have recently 
received system citizenship.  I completed my mansion world 
training and am overjoyed to have this pleasure of dwelling upon 
our capital.  Upon reaching this state I was offered the 
opportunity to join you in this planet’s project of 
reinstatement in the system family and of returning to the 
progressive path toward Light and Life.
	This is a new experience I am undertaking, contacting you, 
and this is my test run to develop my confidence that such 
connection does proceed favorably.  I thank you for allowing to 
make this test today.  Again, I am Hogan.

	Jael:  Thank you, Hogan.  I welcome you and give you A+ for 
your efforts!

*	Hogan:  You will enjoy thoroughly the future before you 
that I have just completed.  It is an exhilarating experience to 
go through the training worlds about our wonderful capital of 
Jerusem.  I could tell you for centuries stories, but it is for 
you to experience, for these training grounds are quite 
adaptable to each personality.  So, my experiences, while highly 
contributive to my ascension, would not have the same effect 
upon you, for you will traverse these worlds gaining those 
experiences of great benefit to your souls.
	There will be a time when we can sit together in hindsight, 
and then our stories of ascension will be of greater benefit to 
one another.

	Evelyn:  Is there some aspect of our planet’s development 
that you will focus on?  What is your specialty?

*	Hogan:  Today as yet I have no assignment.  I am an 
apprentice taking my own courses of training to learn what is 
the role of an assigned teacher to your world.  That is the 
reason for my contact today, for it is my homework assignment, 
and Elyon has graciously accommodated me into your classroom 
that I may perform this exercise and further my training.  
Following my general orientation I will choose my preferred 
outreach.  At this point I am interested in creating acceptance 
among differing peoples, not homogeneity, but a recognition of 
the health of diversity, the removal of the feeling that 
difference is danger.  I exemplified that as I related to you 
how each will experience the mansion worlds.  I suspect that 
will be my focus.

	Evelyn:  Thank you.
