* Elyon (Jonathan TR):  Greetings, this is Elyon.  I am happy once again to
be among you to share in your energy and delight in our friendship.

I have been aware of your pondering what it means to arrive at the time that
Michael spoke of, that the hour is now.  You reflect upon how when he was on
your world that he put down his tools and walked away from his carpenter’s
bench and began his public ministry.  It is natural to project oneself into
that situation and wonder whether that is likewise your destiny in his
bidding.  I assure you that you will not suffer an upheaval in your daily
schedule by taking up the call to being about the Father’s business.  This
assurance I offer by way of quoting our master when he said, “Be you in the
world but not of the world”.

The time that has arrived is the time to solidly anchor yourself in the
spiritual reality of the heavenly administration and to make your decisions
and to negotiate your activities based on that higher perspective.  Do not
merely satisfy yourselves in the clarity of a sound philosophy but inject
the cosmic perspective that you have acquired directly into your daily
events.

You have read where Michael was often misunderstood when he approached many
of his decisions about which undertaking to pursue, that to others seemed
clear from an earthly orientation; yet his choice was baffling because he
chose to look at it from the Father’s perspective.  This upset his earthly
family; this kept all his friends and apostles on their toes.  He remained,
however, certain in his faith in the Father, and the result was the
transformation of Urantia and the inauguration of a new epoch.

You may liken the visit of Michael to your world as the planting of a tree
in a field.  His efforts stand tall and are recognized from afar.  He is
great in stature and his reach shades and soothes many who come to sit
beneath him.  You likewise who are not of this world are seeded upon this
planet, and you may aspire to the greatness of a tall tree, and we encourage
you ever to do so, for there is nothing limiting in the expression of
Supreme attainment except the maximum fulfillment of your potential.  But we
are looking not to have a single tree in the field; we are looking to have a
blanket, a full covering, of vigorous growth of spiritual life on this
planet everywhere: in the valleys, up the mountains, along the streams.
Nowhere will there be a parched land, dead from life.  By your very presence
in any situation, you are the connection for the influx of spirit energy.

While others may function on a mental or physical level in regard to the
activities you are engaged in with them, nonetheless, deep in their souls is
the residence and recognition of that spiritual energy.  Though it may lay
below the conscious level they will ascertain and respond to it.  It is much
like the swelling of the seed before its emergence from the ground.

I will add one more point to this perspective, and that is to “be not of
this world” does not mean to be antagonistic toward it.  It more
appropriately ought to be viewed as a circle within a circle, that your
citizenship is on high, but that heavenly kingdom embraces your earthly
abode, and that you recognize your allegiance to the higher state, and that
each activity within your realm is based upon the greater context.

Slowly your world is beginning to perceive its national orientations from a
global perspective.  This will adjust the behavior of each country.  In this
current transition you are witnessing the expressions of both the ideals of
goodness and the evils of selfishness in approaching this expanded
orientation.  The time will arrive when the perspective will be, “in the
world but not of the world” but guided by the higher way, not merely the
vacuous absence of spiritual ideals, the opportunistic pursuit of selfish
gain.  The altruism that will arise will be rooted in a reality based on
experience of each individual, and that is the presence of God in your
inter-association as human beings and all spirit creatures.  It will not be
the conformity to a set of behavioral rules.  Those rules, while helpful,
are only rules for the world, but the higher ideals will be from the higher
kingdom; they will be personally promoted by each one rather than adopted
upon yourself from without.

This is the hour that has come.  You have bravely stepped from the platform
onto the train and for much time have been loading your bags and preparing
for the journey.  Now we are off; we are on the way.  The kingdom of heaven
is descending upon Earth.

Thank you for receiving me.  I make way for the engagement of others with
you.

* unidentified (Kathy):  In the strife of our world today lies the
opportunity for great change.  It may not appear as a grand announcement on
the television but more likely in the small actions between individuals as
they pursue their daily activities. As each one lives in light and truth the
surrounding culture will change to reflect the change in the individuals.
This is in motion at the present time.

* Monjoronson (Jonathan):  I open my arms to you, this is Monjoronson.  We
embrace today.  Love is upon us.  Michael is among us, and we are all
surcharged with the desire to do the Father’s will to bring about peace upon
Urantia, to establish harmony, and to promote positive growth.

I am here to salute you and in so doing encourage you, for you are to be
admired for your openness to all seekers.  The progress to be made on
Urantia will be successfully employed by such acceptance.  Conflicting
ideologies battle with one another when there is resistance, but the moment
there is sincere interest in understanding an alternate ideology, there
begins to be the reciprocal adjustment to accommodating oneself and one’s
perspective.  I am here to bring this blending, to establish mutual
understanding.  But mistake not, this blending will never become a
completely unified, undifferentiated one sameness.  It will be the mixing in
of the variables of human perspective and a coordinated arrangement of such
ideologies, that each will function to promote avenues of human endeavors
that these perspectives are best suited to foster.

Some orientations are better suited in the rise and development of material
prosperity and of the creature comforts which will assist living as a Light
and Life world, and others will promote the generation and coordination and
preservation of knowledge, information which will assist in advancing your
sciences and your medicine. While you look with peace in your heart for a
world that no longer wars among itself, there are those orientations that
can be your guardian and protector to safeguard those who do promote peace
to provide an arena wherein harmony may be attained without the threat of a
warring external source.  We must learn to coordinate all these factions
together just as a well made watch works beautifully composed of differing
elements.

Some have questioned my appearance on your world, for the mission you have
come to be engaged in is Michael’s mission.  You may liken me to the
pendulum of a watch and Michael to the spring; he has wound up and provided
the energy.  I create the oscillations which turn the gears.  You, my
fellows, are the gears that are working the hands that make this world
advance in time and progress toward Light and Life.

* Elyon:  This is Elyon returning.  I am aware that opportunities have not
been offered to you to ask questions, should you have them within your
hearts.  I entreat you to make them known at this time.

Tom:  Monjoronson recently mentioned that Urantia will never become a planet
of a blended race with one language.  Since our text mentions that is
something that is going to happen, I’m wondering is that because of Michael
coming here and the normal chain of events is now switched around?  Or does
it have to do with a decimation? Could you speak to that?

* Elyon:  The evolutionary progression of a normal planet brings about a
blended race and a planetary language much sooner in the development of
civilization than has been witnessed on your world.  It happens rather early
on wherein cultures are young, and cultural pride, while juvenile in its
early stage, is not as entrenched, not as strongly possessed as is witnessed
in the passing millennia.  Urantia will encounter by the simple movement of
people around the world blending, but there will ever recur the rising up of
racial heritage and the pride derived therefrom.  Much effort will be made
toward the preservation of diversity.  This we do not perceive to be
contrary to the goal of a blended human race.

I will return you to my lesson of the lone tree in the field or the blanket
of shrubbery all across the field.  This holds true with your language.  The
commonly shared form of communication of your centuries ahead will
accommodate the expressive mannerisms of your current languages and will
reflect the orientation of the cultures that fostered those languages.  This
will be a different form of a “one language” than a language developed as it
would have in your ancient past.  A single language in the early stages of
planetary unfoldment is established as humankind even as yet has not formed
a written word.  But now you have the ability to preserve all the verbal
expressions of your many cultures, and by this very circumstance will your
one language be multiplex of languages.

It will entail some intermixing, but it will also be crafted with creative
wording that will of necessity be developed to express higher forms of human
thinking, those conceptual visions which transcend the world of objects,
that will entail the expression of the awareness of not only relationships
side to side but impingements, that is, spiritual relationships from above
and below.  There will be a similarity to the normal development of a world
untouched by rebellion and turmoil, but it will be unique as well in that
you will come full circle in a late stage of human advancement, and this
will reflect in apparent dissimilarity.

I hope this addresses your issue.

Evelyn: I don’t have a question exactly, but I’m thinking about a discussion
I had this week on the concept of “switchwords”, words that tie between the
conscious and unconscious mind and using them as a technique to change
habitual behavior, or open yourself to new ideas.  I see a similarity with
being aware of being a cosmic citizen. You wouldn’t necessarily have to
think of it consciously, it would just come up.  So your behaviors, with
your sincere interest, are open to new behavior patterns.

* Elyon:  This structure you speak of is a valuable tool, and our recent
proclamation that the hour has come falls into this category of effect upon
the human personality.

Some things within your life are a smooth slide in advancement, and other
things come by way of the immediate switching or toggling, the turning of
“off” to “on” or “on” to “off”.  Your rehabilitation program for alcoholics
fosters the immediate turning of “on” to “off” rather than a gradual slide
to abstinence.  Other activities do not appear to have such clear
distinctions.  May I use an example?

You decide to take a stroll, so you leave your house, take your walk, and
return, and enter again into the door and be about the work within your
abode.  The door is the switch, but when you enter have you stopped walking?
When did the walk begin and end? It is in the perspective of the activity
being undertaken.  Therein lies the power of the word.  I encourage you to
use such expressions.  They apply great leverage. With reflection you will
note that many of the teachers have applied similar technique to encourage
the change of behavior and orientation in our students.

I will draw close to our assembly today and I leave you with one last
thought.  Make effort this week to remind yourself that you are an emerging
morontia being dwelling in the garments of a mortal body.  Remind yourself
of your true placement. Farewell.
