*	Machiventa (Jonathan TR):  This is 
Machiventa, greetings to you.  I feel the 
welcoming of you all by way of your sincerity and 
curiosity, and I accept you into my fellowship as 
you accept me into yours, that we blend ourselves 
in unity.
	I encourage you in your investigations of 
the many contact points through which the vast 
hosts of teachers are expressing their 
understanding and their marching orders of where 
Urantia stands today and is going in the future.  
Realize that it is a composite picture, that each 
expression is a part; it is not the whole.  The 
thread is not the fabric; the button is not the 
belt, but they all make the garment.  By 
reflective contemplation you are better able to 
perceive the entirety.  It creates a comprehensive 
overview, that you be not isolated in one form.
	Urantia is changing on every level.  When 
you first heard our contacts we were limited to 
simply training you in the experience of contact 
and having to adjust to your doubts and curiosity.  
Then we spoke to your soul to strengthen your 
spiritual foundation and to motivate you from the 
ponderance of a philosophical nature and the 
investigations of your spiritual psychology into a 
true and concrete action.  You are now hearing 
more about the overall plan for this planet in the 
context of your contemporary conditions.  At first 
we were like yeast in the bread, hard to discern 
our presence.  But soon with our contact with you 
we began that vital, living transformation, and 
you began to discern that activity.  Now you are 
fully part of that release of energy which you 
have come to call “anchoring the light”.
	Many like you around this world are changing 
from the medium in which the teachers, the spirit 
entities, may come, to being the actual spirit 
entity expressers yourselves.  It was a great leap 
of faith.  There will come more adjustments that 
will be necessary by each one of you, for this is 
living, a process that is very dynamic.
	As you firmly plant on one stepping stone 
you will be required to shift your weight and move 
on.  But be stable on this step upon which you are 
standing, for a poor placement creates a stumble.  
Though you know there is a long continuum of 
unfoldment your present position is the most 
important one for your ability to proceed.  You 
may hold your head up and look down the road, but 
you must be aware of the ground underneath you.  
Each position in the path is your pushing point of 
power, and so it is important for you to commit to 
your present so that you may more rightly proceed 
to the next.  It is the shifting of the 
theoretical into the active, an assessment of all 
possibilities -- all beneficial in viewpoint -- is 
only useful in action when you pull one 
possibility into yourself and become it.  Then you 
move forward; one grasp opens the avenue for the 
second and third grasping.
	We have been adjusting our procedures since 
the arrival of the Magisterial Son.  My corps of 
melchizedeks are under the management of Michael, 
but Michael has given management of Urantia to 
Monjoronson, and he has the power to do so.  We in 
allegiance gather under his direction.  In 
Nebadon, where there has been no rebellion, unity, 
even conformity, are natural responses, and the 
distinctions which stand one corps of beings from 
another are blended into harmony.  But on those 
worlds wracked by rebellion much of the operating 
approach is to stand against, to confront, or to 
hold ground; to seek rightness through dominance 
[rather] than correctness through coordination.  
We will continue to work to change that 
confrontive nature and encourage you to look up, 
to stand back from one flower and view the entire 
field.  The beauty is in the congregation.

*	Lester:  I am Lester, greetings.  I dance 
with joy in the realization of your remarkable 
ability to progress.  You know that I, once a 
party animal, did not value much progression but 
rather the continual stagnation of one big 
whoopee.  I will encourage you to, in a light 
sense, become yourselves global warmers, that is, 
radiate that love from your heart and be that 
light that illuminates all.  That global warming 
is what this planet needs most.  In and through 
that expression will come realization everywhere, 
and those problems of a planetary nature that you 
are beginning to recognize and grapple with today 
will be much easier to remedy.
	Thank you.

*	Elyon:  This is Elyon and I want to simply 
remind you that you have the opportunity at any 
time to address any teacher, for our staff is 
capable of communicating afar and to bring to you 
that connection for your benefit.

*	Michael:  Dear children, I am Michael.  You 
have on record my parable of the vine and the 
branches, and you know the import of that message 
of bearing fruit, of living connection.  I 
perceive that you all understand it more deeply 
than in the realm of the mind but had lodged it 
into the motives that drive you forward from that 
level of your heart.  I will add another image 
that follows the same principle.
	You know of many bushes and trees that send 
up their young saplings around the mother tree and 
that these saplings grow from the roots of the 
source tree.  The connection is the same as the 
vine and the branches, but one element is 
different, and that is the intervening area of 
ground.
	All who seek truth, who pursue the realities 
of spirit are rising saplings.  Some falter with 
uncertainty and doubt because, as they rise up 
from the soil, they perceive the intervening 
ground between me, and the divinity I manifest, 
and themselves and fail to understand the 
underlying connection at the root.
	It is much easier to perceive your 
connection as a branch on the vine.  Teach your 
fellows, those budding spiritual aspirants, that 
as they rise from the earth into the spiritual sky 
they are connected, that the appearance of 
distance is of no real meaning.  In terms of the 
worth of that individual, its meaning lies in the 
fact that a sapling can stretch, can reach and 
grow far beyond the mother tree.  A vine with its 
branches remain in a close location, growing 
within that circumscribed area.  A sapling can 
spread and spread far.  So each of you is doing 
this for me today on this planet for our Father.  
So, again I say to you, go forth and proclaim the 
gospel.

*	Jessona:  This is Jessona, I greet you too.  
We are giving Jonathan the opportunity to 
experience channel surfing.
	You have in your traditions a song that 
says, “angels we have heard on high” and it is my 
purpose as I contact you today to become angels 
that all hear beside you, that everyone, will 
discern an angelic resonance in your expression of 
joy the season you are approaching promotes year 
after year.  This holiday you have that marks the 
day of the bestowal of Michael is always reminding 
you of the ability of God to enter into and 
partake in the world.  It underlines the value of 
where you are as human beings.  It demonstrates 
once again your worth to God, that your conditions 
here are not wayward, errant, or separated.  His 
coming was to teach you of that connection, a 
connection never severed.  And if you be those 
angels singing  beside your fellows you will 
further Michael’s mission of promoting the 
proximity of the divine rather than the aloofness 
of God.  Let the chorus begin.  Let the praise 
spread far.

*	Elyon:  This is Elyon returning and I want 
to add another image through which you may apply 
yourselves.
	When you are within a building you can see 
many doors by which you may pass through and exit 
to the outside.  In the realm of spiritual 
progress many will sit in that building and fret 
over which door to open to go outside.  Which one 
is right and which one is wrong?  Which one is 
direct and which one is convoluted?  My friends, 
each one takes you outside of yourself into the 
community of spirit.  Pick any door, walk through 
it, and trust the guidance of God to take you into 
that fellowship, to take you into new adventures, 
and to lift you up into a vision of the entire 
surroundings.
	I will now draw closed our interface.  I 
thank Michael for your dedication, for your 
sincerity, for your honesty, for your sensitivity 
and your curiosity.  You may each have attained 
varying degrees of awareness, of enlightenment, of 
spiritual stature.  But these traits I have 
expressed will always be valuable to you in your 
ascent no matter how young and insignificant you 
feel or how old and accomplished you perceive 
yourself to be.  These are like the wheels under 
your feet that keep you moving.  Do as Michael and 
be of good cheer and love one another.
	We close, thank you.
