*	Lantarnek (Jonathan TR):  Greetings to each of you, this is 
Lantarnek.  I will make some comments regarding a familiar 
phrase, “peace which passes understanding”.
	You are familiar with the accurate interpretation that this 
peace spoken of is a peace that transcends all understanding, 
that on the level of spirit you have the confidence, a sense of 
belonging, and divine care which prevails in spite of 
difficulties, in spite of confusion, and that while you seek to 
comprehend the nature of reality, the order of the universe, to 
grow in enlightenment and wisdom, regardless of your attainment, 
of your insight, of your knowledge that peace reigns supreme, 
overlays all.  It makes up for the deficiencies and crowns your 
attainments.  Today I will adjust this phrase in light of our 
ever constant urge to you to be of service to your fellows.
	Many a soul prays to the God they trust, reaches out to the 
Divine Source for guidance, for help, for assurance.  Many, far 
too many, wish for the divine voice to speak directly to their 
ear to confirm, to comfort, and to uplift.  Yet with the 
apparent silence to the material mind the faith of the child of 
God grows ever stronger and learns to discern in the everyday 
episodes the answer to the prayer, learns to sense the divine 
presence warming the soul,  learns to act upon the guidance 
without overt and direct phraseology, no orders from above 
written in contract.  There are those however who lose that 
faith or perhaps have never initiated the faith, and there is 
your mission.  You are the ones who pass understanding to your 
fellows.  You are the microphone in which they may speak to 
Father.  They may not know it at the time, and you in all humble 
stature do not broadcast such a condition.  You simply sit as 
does the master for all his children and listen and honor and 
love.  In so doing this soul receives the touch of God, begins 
to respond to reality’s adjustments, makes discerning choices, 
trusts a fellow’s advice, and begins to believe in their own 
ability to correct what needs adjustment or to venture forward 
into the unknown.
	While the spirit of the Father rises within, the spirit of 
a brother or sister approaches from outside, and many 
personalities require your tangible external presence for them 
to recognize the presence in the soul of Father Spirit.  It is a 
circuitry, one within the great circuitry of the Father’s 
personality.  It is the energy of love, of brotherhood.  This 
prepares the mind of another to come into a deeper 
understanding. It is yours to give.  It is an easy gift to give, 
for much of it entails simply being compassionate, receptive, 
and accepting.  You need not be prepared with great discourse; 
it is that arm of love around another that opens the channel for 
their own upliftment.
	In lightness I say I hope this has passed understanding 
your way.  I open the floor to your comments, and there are 
others with me who also are willing to address you.

	Ginny:  We were talking earlier about progress being 
delayed on this planet.  Can you explain a little how that 
works?  Is it something we need to pay attention to?  I know the 
divine plans are progressing.  What weight does this warning 
have?

*	Lantarnek:  We have spent many years in your awareness 
preparing for the transition of Urantia from a world in 
quarantine to a world in the path of normal progress.  It has 
been to date successful.  While all celestial assistants are 
ever busy about the work of the world, there still remains one 
critical factor that will impede or foster this ongoing 
transition, and that is the willingness of humankind.
	Many upon your world are willing to the extent that they 
are active in promoting their beliefs, their philosophies, and 
religions.  Many are convinced that their orientations are 
correct and to be promoted.  These are good responses to 
convictions and to devotions.  But what has yet to truly 
function freely is the childlike turning of the ear to God, to 
spirit guidance, to set aside the often conceit-filled sense of 
correctness, to return in humility, to divine guidance, to be 
born anew in the willingness to learn anew to change thought, to 
adjust behavior, regardless of teachings, of standards, of 
mores.
	You are examples of ones who are willing to take to your 
knees and learn from spirit.  Many on your globe do, but far too 
many take it upon themselves to be the directors, to be the 
creators, of the planet’s destiny ignoring the greater oversight 
of celestial guidance.  When this transition occurs there will 
be the speeding up of progress on this world and the joining in 
alliance of the many of you terrestrials and the many of us 
celestials.
	I hope this addresses your questions.

	Ginny:  Yes, it has.  Is this a result of ignorance on our 
parts, or is there a deliberate effort on this planet to keep 
this from happening?

*	Lantarnek:  It is largely the false confidence of pride.  
Many in positions of power, institutions or governments or 
businesses, were first inspired, early on received a realization 
of what could be but failed to continually receive guidance, 
closed the ears, and took it upon themselves to take up the 
problems, ran off on their own without having developed greater 
insight and deeper wisdom.  It is pride that closed the ears and 
dampened the interest for further revelation, for greater 
training.  So the efforts made are born from incompleteness, and 
that incompleteness does reveal itself to those who do perceive 
as a form of ignorance, but it is of origin in the pride that 
says, “I see, I’ll do it myself”, failing to develop a teamwork 
with higher beings, failing to continue the development of the 
perception of higher truth.

	Ginny:  We each have our pride to deal with, but it sounds 
like you described the US government!
	Working with ourselves can help build the critical mass 
that we need to give more strength to spirit reality.  

*	Jessona:  I am Jessona, and I will take up, as Lantarnek 
has had to tend to another assignment.
	Yes, you are correct.  We master seraphim are directly 
engaged with human beings like yourselves who are willing to 
actively serve for the administration of this planet.  It is 
your cooperation with us that allows the administrators of this 
world to make adjustments in all arenas of human life, the home, 
the church, your governments, your businesses.  So you do bring 
us great joy to have you so willing to transform yourselves that 
you may be a beacon of light that others may see and take up the 
same purpose to help promote truth, to be goodness, and to 
foster beauty.
	The larger bodies of power on your world that are far too 
complex for one individual to have much impact upon are in the 
hands of the Magisterial Mission.  These ministers under 
Monjoronson are working with group impinging upon group of human 
beings, not just the individuals, but the entire corporate 
assemblies.  There is in a sense an ascension of experience 
available to mankind in this large assembly of peoples.  These 
bodies of power must also grow from children to adults, must 
pass through many phases similar to a single human being.  While 
you will have some, though limited, impact, trust the 
Magisterial Mission to have an overarching impact.  It will take 
much time, for these assemblies grow more slowly and are 
transformed over greater periods of time than can an individual 
soul which may awaken overnight.

	Evelyn:  I appreciate in Lantarnek’s message that what we 
each can do is be compassionate, receptive, and accepting.  Just 
listening, being a sounding board, letting someone talk and make 
their own discoveries by expressing themselves and our being 
there to express to, being encouraging; that is very individual.  
That is something we all can do in all walks of life at any age.  
I didn’t quite understand being a microphone for God.  I 
understand the sounding board aspect.

*	Jessona:  His use of the metaphor of the microphone is 
quite similar to your metaphor of a sounding board.  The 
difference is that a sounding board is reflective where the 
individual recognizes that you are listening, that it is 
touching you, and you are giving feedback that you are 
receiving.  A microphone passes through you and on to Father.  
While the individual may not consciously be aware that Father is 
listening, that sense of passage is sensed deeper than they 
recognize, and they receive the feeling that the prayer, their 
expression to you in words, is reaching spirit, that it is being 
validated and recognized, that you are the means whereby another 
may trust that their inner longings are being truly heard, not 
by simply a brother or sister, but also by the Divine Parent.  
If you listen with this in your mind you are assisted in spirit 
and you more consciously cooperate with spirit’s engagement with 
that other individual.  This metaphor is simply to underline the 
partnership you have with spirit when you are tending to the 
needs of a fellow.

	Evelyn:  That’s very clarifying, thank you.
