Practical lessons for manipulating
Universe Energy; Urantian Churches</P>

<P>Teacher:
<B>Rayson </B>(T/R Daniel)</P>
<P>This is Rayson. Today we will take the lessons on energy and combine them in
a more practical manner. And remember that these lessons are not only just for
this group, but for all groups that wish to unite in harmony, in oneness, to
become one with the flow of energy and light on this planet. It is a way of
moving your group consciousness, your individual consciousnesses into an
energetic process of moving energy, a way of processing/manipulating universe
energy. In months past, weeks past, we have discussed energy, toning, group
consciousness, individual consciousness and the intentional manipulation of
energy. Today, we wish to assist you to create a merkaba anchor in this
geographic location, with this group’s intent of doing so. I spoke of it being a
flow of energy in two directions, but if you were to look at the anchor, it is
that and more. It is a flow of energy of the light-aqua blue/lime-green
color—energy flows up and energy flows down simultaneously. In more thorough
detail there is a double helix that also coils around this. And this double
helix becomes part of the merkaba ball of energy of the lines of longitude and
latitude around the group. </P>
<P>You may have been wondering if you thought about the merkaba, the lines of
energy of latitude and longitude, how they meet in the middle at a single point
if they meet in the middle of this shaft of energy. The refinement is in this
double helix which encompasses the shaft of energy. Let us begin now with the
heart line, which we discussed last time. I believe you may have read the
transcripts, and if not, I will reiterate this in quick fashion. It is a pinkish
line of energy that moves up from earth center, into your right foot, up your
right leg, into your chest, across your heart and down your left leg to earth
center. And so, if you continue this, you will see that the line of energy is
like a sewing machine thread mechanism that goes up and down, up and down and
moves around to the left of you, clockwise as you look down upon the group. It
makes approximately ten revolutions per second. As you do this, we also wish you
to build a mind line between you. This is a line of latitude—the mind line runs
through from your left temple, through your mind, to your right temple and to
your neighbor to your right. So that looking down upon the group, this line goes
counter-clockwise and it operates at approximately ten times more rapidly than
the heart line. Depending on the consciousness of the group, it can operate even
more rapidly than that. It is not relevant; the fact that you build and maintain
these in the group as such, is what is needed.</P>
<P>[This is Rayson—as an aside, you may, as you do every session, examine and
listen to the T/R that is coming through this individual. You are analyzing its
quality, its quantity and so on, and its sharpness compared to that which you
have heard before. This is always affected by the health of the individual, and
as Daniel has a ‘cold’ at this time and feels a little fuzzy-brained, so too
will you find that the sharpness of the T/R may be a little bit dull or fuzzy.
Yet the quality of the material we bring through to you…we strive to maintain at
a very high quality. This is part of your requirement as an individual to
discern the spiritual environment that you are in at all times, whether you are
at work or at a prayer session or a group such as this. You should be testing
for validity and quality of the material that comes through.] Let us
continue.</P>
<P>We have built in this group a merkaba that now has lines of latitude and
lines of longitude, heart lines and mind lines. Now, through the invocation of
the Mother Spirit of this local universe, Nebadonia, we call forth and invoke
the <I>anchoring</I> of this merkaba, at this location, with the invocation and
flowing of the shaft of energy that flows up and down. And let it be so at this
moment. Those of you who can see energy will see a fine thin line of energy
moving up and down. It flows smoothly, you do not see it waver or flicker, it is
constant. Now, as we come into oneness of thought and consciousness, let us make
the merkaba bigger. Let us now expand the boundaries past the outside of this
group to now include it outside of the house. Do you visualize this now? (Group:
Yes.) At the same time, the anchor in the middle, this fountain of energy, also
grows in proportion. So that now, if you were to visualize it, you would see it
as approximately one foot in diameter. It is rather large. Through your group
consciousness this anchor now remains in this place; we dedicate this spot, this
geographic location to the use of this energy through the consciousness of those
individuals who are amongst us, and those who are not. This energy is available,
this anchor is available to all those who hold this in consciousness. </P>
<P>You may be disposed to use this anchor for good of all mankind, for the
healing of your planet, for the welfare of families, for one’s health or an
individual wholeness, for your own or others. When you do so, you should
<I>condition</I> this with the outcome being <I>for the good of all</I>, the
ultimate outcome, or course, is the <I>wholeness</I> of the individual. As the
individual becomes whole, they <I>flow in unison</I> with the consciousness of
the planet and the universe. Your responsibility as manipulators of this energy
is to yourself. <B>Be in unison with the energy</B>. This is <I>a minded energy
field</I>; this is Creative Mother Spirit energy. It is manipulable by mind. It
is not something to be worshiped; there must not be any idolatry involved in
this creative work, in this manifestation here; this is simply a tool, it is a
manifest tool of consciousness, of minded action. Just as you have solemn
control and manipulation of action of your own energy field, as an individual,
and we hope that you would always do so in consciousness of purpose and thought.
[And as an aside, you thought it was difficult to maintain a heart line and a
mind line simultaneously. Well then, we upped the ante quite a bit by urging you
to <I>remain conscious</I> <I>of your mind energy flow</I> as you direct flow of
energy <I>throughout your life</I> during the day, here and there, near and
far.]</P>
<P>I wish you to see yourselves as planets, so to speak, in orbit around this
anchor. You are part of this merkaba circle. You are your own energy anchors
yourselves, but through your consciousness, your intention and the invocation of
your lives to assist in this <I>group merkaba</I>, it will remain here and be
useful to you. We hereby recognize this as an existent <I>vortex of energy</I>
in this location. I would dispel the idea that you may come here with a cup,
fill up your cup and drink of it—this is not that sort of a ‘well of energy.’ It
is something that cannot be kept, stored, hidden away, or given. It can only be
used, created and brought to closure as well. The occupants who live here in
this residence may use this as they wish to cleanse their house of all things
that need cleansing to maintain order and harmony, to maintain an aura of peace,
of love, of dignity, respect, and all the values that they wish to maintain.</P>
<P>You may visualize this rather holographically, as people coming to your home
and being bathed in this, whether they are aware of it or not. Although this is
not a sacred entity, it has purposes that should remain hallowed, respected.
This energy can be used for malicious reasons, though it would not be wise to do
so, not helpful, either in the short-term or long-term for the user or towards
those whom they direct it. These energy fields can last an infinite period of
time; the purposes are for the enhancement and use and operation of your planet
and its people. The purposes for its use are infinite as well. You will find
always that selfish, dark reasoning for using energy in an ill-mannered fashion
are always short-term. Short-term results do not benefit the universe or this
planet or the individuals. Let us now take a short time out for questions, if
you have any.</P>
<P>Student: If you are alone, do you still have both the heart circuit and mind
circuit operating?</P>
<P>Rayson: This is anchored here. They both operate.</P>
<P>Student: Rayson, I have a question about the shaft of light. Can you tell us
its purpose and/or its....does it have an origin…is it like we have in the heart
circuit, or does it…tell me more about that.</P>
<P>Rayson: Yes, it is the universe energy stream. It comes from Universe Center.
I could not tell you the amperage, voltage or wattage, however. (Student: It
comes through the Mother Spirit?) Yes. (Student: Is it encircuited?) Yes. It is
whole, complete and continuous.</P>
<P>Student: When you talk about the color of this light, and you ask if we "see
it", is that meant as "can we imagine it" or are we supposed to actually see the
colors?</P>
<P>Rayson: Yes, most of you will surely not see it—it is not a manifestation of
the physical range of light frequencies. But some of you are sensitive to see
energy manifestations on the inner level, the ‘psychic’ level, if we may use
that word. The closest that you could come to this would be your imagination of
it, and many who have seen energy forms, often think that it is simply their
imagination. Yet, when they go to "look" to another form, whether a tree, a
plant, a person, or some energy field, they can also see that. So, is that their
imagination or not? It is for your interpretation, though these energies do
exist on planes that you do not see with your eyes. You would see them easily on
the Morontial planes.</P>
<P>Student: Is this energy similar to or different than the energy that was at
Findhorn in Scotland, where so many remarkable non-latitude plants were grown
for many years?</P>
<P>Rayson: Yes. Though it was not a shaft of light there, it was a field, it was
an environment, using this energy. (Student: Same with Sedona?) Sedona and other
places upon the planet are ancient, natural manifestations of these energy
forms.</P>
<P>Student: Rayson, you asked that I ask you again at a later time about the
‘breath’ in conjunction with the merkaba, and I’d like to ask more about that at
this time. (Rayson: And your question is?) How is the ‘breath’ related to the
merkaba?</P>
<P>[Hmmm…this is Daniel…sometimes they give you the neatest metaphors
…(laughing)… this is one of them, which is applicable on many levels.]</P>
<P>Rayson: Have you ever been to a smithy? A blacksmith shop? There you will
find bellows. The bellows mechanism was used to draw in a huge amount of air
into the bellows mechanism and force it through a small orifice into the forge,
providing tremendous amounts of oxygen to the hot coals and charcoal in the
forge. But in this instance, I wish you to imagine a centrifugal air pump, as is
typical of many small farming communities and small blacksmith shops, where one
would crank the handle and it is geared in such a fashion that one revolution
will approximate roughly, one hundred revolutions of the air pump, so that you
have a tremendous, centrifugal process of developing/generating huge amounts of
air in a small device. </P>
<P>This is very similar to what you are doing in your body mechanism as you
inhale breath on a forced basis, you are force-feeding the fires of your
metabolism and also at the molecular level, these energies infuse your
mind/brain mechanism. It is at the mind/brain surface….it’s not a surface, it’s
not a membrane, it’s…...I do not find the language to explain the contact place
of mind and brain. But it is at that point at the molecular level, the quantum
level that the mind is energized to a higher level. And as you do so, your own
merkaba, auric field, is enhanced around you. This quantum surface allows you to
bridge the gap between your material existence and other dimensions and states
of consciousness that exist in the universe. It is at this heightened level of
energy activity that the merkaba operates. And so your forced breathing can
assist in this process and can enhance the merkaba process, the merkaba field.
Is that a sufficient answer? (Yes, I think so, thank you.) You’re welcome. I
wish to expand on that just a little bit. I stated that it alludes to the
quantum level of consciousness, and this is a field that will become more and
more important to your technical, scientific fields in the future and too, when
they make the connection with clinical psychologists as well.</P>
<P>Student: When you mentioned the ‘aura’ a moment ago, people who say that they
can observe auras, often speak of colors like green, blue, or yellow…is there a
significance to the different colors?</P>
<P>Rayson: Yes, it has to do with heightened psychic consciousness—the higher
the frequency of the color, the brighter they are, going from dark colors to
ruddy-red, through the yellows through the greens and the blues, violets and
white; these are all more and more elevated colors. And you will find that if
you were to see those individuals who are evolved spiritually, and who live in
greater universe consciousness, live or create an aura around them of the higher
frequencies. These colors are also associated with relevant body function
issues. You are aware of reflexology of the regions of the feet. Chinese
physicians also associate this with regions of the ear and other parts of the
body which are ‘mirrored replicas’ of the energetic fields of the body, and so
the aura has its own replication of these body function fields. And the colors
therein are affected by the health of the individual, in mind and body and
spirit. Is that sufficient? (Yes, that’s very interesting. Thank you.) You’re
welcome.</P>
<P>Student: So the colors can be related to the emotional state and thought
content at any given time within an individual?</P>
<P>Rayson: Yes, it provides a rather three-dimensional readout of your functions
of the being involved. All the various systems, much like an airplane, there is
an electrical system, a hydraulic system, a pneumatic system and other systems
within the aircraft. And so your body mechanism has its own various systems, and
each system is reflected at a level within the aura. It is not dimensional; it
is not as though it were layered like an onion but is… simultaneous?…..
(Student: Observable?)</P>
<P>Student: Is there a correlation between chakras and auras?</P>
<P>Rayson: Yes, there is. This is another system within the being’s mechanism
and those centers also have their colors, and they can be bright and they can be
dark, or they can be black. They are also…let me just, to keep it simple…they
are noticeable, observable, within the aura, but they are principally their own
system. They operate on the same energy process, but they are separate
‘mechanisms’…I do not like to use the word ‘mechanism’ for they are not
mechanistic or material, but they use the same energy platform, but express it
in two different dimensions, so to speak. One is on the outside and one is on
the inside. And what you see in one, you will see in the other.</P>
<P>Student: What are some examples of the best way for us to use this merkaba
energy for the good of those around us, and for the world? Can we, as a group,
project such energy to Afghanistan, for refugees in need, as an example?</P>
<P>Rayson: Yes you can…I will stop that answer at that point…and just say, yes,
you can. However, I would suggest to you to condition the energy for yourself
first. (‘You’ meaning the group.) Individuals, western culture, often see the
use of Universe Energy as a selfish, self-centered activity. However, we are
more concerned with you being in tune with this energy than you tuning the
energy to others at this time because the quality of the sending energy is
qualified. Excuse the double meaning of the word ‘quality,’ but the quality of
the energy that you send towards others is qualified by, or conditioned by, your
own capacity to send it. If you are an ill person and have pneumonia, you would
not do well running the marathon, would you? You would be lucky to go to the
mailbox and get your mail. So we suggest that you work on your own healing. It
is not necessarily an activity of ‘doing’ but of remaining in consciousness. It
is being conscious of your positive thoughts and your negative thoughts, the
destructive thoughts and those, which are helpful. </P>
<P>Student: In other words, to use it for our own development process, to raise
our own level? (Yes) To perhaps, at a later time, to be able to project it?</P>
<P>Rayson: You’ll always want to provide a service to others with those skills
that you have already mastered. But, you have more and more skills to master, so
do not fret too much about using them in advance. Wait until you have achieved a
level of mastery over those skills of living, which you can then use for service
to others in your conscious direction of energy. Do you recall the monk who
worked in the kitchen during medieval times? Was that Brother Andrew? Who was
that? He always did his work in the kitchen, mundane, trivial, seemingly
monotonous work, drudgery of preparing foods and serving and cleaning up and
preparing again. Yet this wonderful monk remained in God consciousness all
through the day, singing praises and coming to understand God and His miraculous
ways, much more intimately than his brothers who were often serving in front of
the altar. And this is as you could do also, wherever you are, is to remain in
consciousness with the beneficence of God. So that your life becomes an
expression of that beneficence, part of that spirit, being part of that flow. It
is diminishing the dark thoughts of your mind and embellishing the positive
ones. It is doing ‘good,’ with good words and good thoughts and good works. This
is the first place to begin, with yourself. (Thank you) You’re welcome.</P>
<P>Student: You mentioned that the merkaba could be used for wrong intentions,
and I would like to know if there is anything now that the merkaba has been
established here that we, as its founders or co-founders need to do to protect
it from these forces?</P>
<P>Rayson: Well, there are not ‘forces.’ But there are individuals with dark
consciousness. You have conditioned this space and this place for the work of
light, to be filled with light. The way to protect it is to remain in
consciousness, positive consciousness, as I was speaking of just a moment ago to
the earlier question. This is the best way to protect this. There is actually no
way to protect it other than to use it positively, to remain in positive
consciousness, to be mindful. And this is a very key word for using these
anchors is <I>mindfulness</I>, being ever mindful. You have raised children, you
have children in your house, you have neighbors who have children, and children
‘learn to be mindful.’ "Where did you put your coat, Harry?" "I don’t know,
Mom." "Harry, you need to be mindful of where you put your coat, we cannot be
buying you coats every week. Now, go find it, work backwards in your mindfulness
and remember where you were and where you left it. You had it when you left the
house a half-hour ago—where did you go and why did you take it off? It must be
in the place where you had a reason to take it off, so mindfully, go back there
and find it." And so Harry goes out and he thinks and he recalls where he left
his coat. This is mindfulness.</P>
<P>Many adults on your planet do not have mindfulness at all. They live
spontaneously, impulsively, habitually from one moment to the next. But this is
not a creative form of living. This is habituated living. What we ask of you to
do is be mindful. And so when you are mindful of your day, this is to be aware
of what you are thinking, what you are doing, where you are, and why you are
doing these things. It begins in the early part of the day, where you are
mindful of the day ahead. And so you sit quietly before you leave the house,
before you have breakfast perhaps, and are mindful of setting an intention for
your day, invoking that which you desire to come into existence, and invoking
the energies to help provide that to happen. This is mindful living. You could
call it consciousness, self-awareness, but mindfulness is a nice word too. </P>
<P>It is ever present, being present, living in the consciousness of oneness
with your Creator, Michael. Knowing and understanding, accepting, using, and
manipulating the energy of the Mother Spirit that flows through you. So you live
as the child of these two Divine Beings. You are their Divine Child, raising up
into that divinity in the eventuality of the infinity of time. You are learning
your beginning lessons on this planet, as difficult as they are. So, you must be
mindful of this process and who your Parents are, who are working with you. And
you will find in the days ahead, the weeks ahead, that there are fewer things to
fret about, because they fall in line. </P>
<P>Your mindfulness of being <I>one with all provision</I>, mindfulness of being
<I>one with all</I>, <I>wholeness</I>, leads to completion on the ‘outer.’
‘Inner’ must be manifest in itself before the ‘outer’ can be formed. Your
Master, Jesus, was the Master Metaphysician, and he told you many times that the
‘inner’ must become <I>clean</I> before the ‘outer’ becomes so. When you begin
to see the patterns of your life and the wholeness of your life come into being,
you will begin to realize how subtly powerful this force is, this mindfulness
is, this <I>oneness</I> that you live in. Things, events, situations, needs,
become fulfilled and put in order without even thinking about them. They just
‘become.’</P>
<P>It is much like fishing. You go out and fish and you put the fish you’ve
caught on a line and let them set in the water. And you will have lines here and
there as the fish float in the water, staying cool until you take them home. But
begin paddling your boat, and all of them fall behind you, in line. So, too with
all the needs and provisions of your lives. The ‘fishes’ and ‘loaves’ of your
lives will be provided in order, in a timely way, when you put your lives in
order in mindfulness and in service of love to others and yourself. Do not be
forgetful about loving yourself, caring for yourself, as you wish others would,
as your Universal Mother does. If you have parents who were not loving nor
provided for you very well, imagine your wonderful Spiritual Parents, Michael
and Nebadonia who provide all to you. Would you be able to accept that?</P>
<P>Student: In the previous lesson there was a description about visualizing a
mirror around you. You would be able to project love and light to another
individual...(inaudible)…. I am aware of an individual who appears to have a lot
of negative thoughts. What can I to do to protect this individual, to project a
more positive outlook on life? Is it possible for me to do that?</P>
<P>Rayson: Let us begin with a discussion of this other individual, because it
not only involves the other individual but yourself as well. When we ask
ourselves questions about others, we are also asking questions about ourselves,
as the holder of those thoughts. For this is the frontier of service with
others, the use of these energies for others and ourselves. This is where we
wish clarity of thought for others, love in the lives of others, and therefore,
we must also do that for ourselves. I am not questioning your situation, but
raising this to everyone. When you pray for another, you are requesting the
universe to hold that individual in a particular way, to bless them with
particular fulfillments, to see them living in a blessed way. Make sure that
your intentions for this individual are also as clear as you wish them to be for
that individual in their life. Ask, "Why am I praying for this, for this
individual?" "Is it out of my own self-need? Or is it out of true altruistic
caring about the other individual for themselves?" This must be answered and
clarified first for your prayers and for your projection of energy to be truly
effective. Having once done that, you realize that this person is greatly in
need of much assistance, on many levels. You also realize too that, many people
need protection from the thoughts and projections, and words, of that
individual. So, what you may want to do, is to visualize… you may visualize many
things, and many things cross my mind at this moment….you could visualize choirs
of angels, around this individual’s house, singing to them night and day, songs
of the spheres, music of the spheres, filling their house and their mind,
calming their tumultuous mind process. You may want to protect yourself from
this individual’s thoughts or malicious words, hurtful words. And so you would
place a mirror, around yourself to protect yourself from all those things that
are hurtful to you, and this is where you need to be clear about yourself, so
that you do not reject those things which are positive that come to you. And
also do not allow energy to come through that would be hurtful to you,
unconsciously. And I know that dealing with unconscious issues are most
difficult for mortals, but you can take these in hand clearly, powerfully
through your intentions and through your mindfulness, and they will take care of
themselves. </P>
<P>That sounds awfully simple, but it is very practical. You would also want to
protect yourself and others in another way, from this individual’s malicious
thoughts and words, and that is to place a mirror around them, a shield, that
keeps in all the hurtful things, and only lets through thoughts and emotions
that are positive and constructive. Doing so will allow the flow of universe
energy around them, providing a smooth flow of events and order of events,
situations to come to their lives and to yours as well. For you know that when
there is not order, there is chaos. And when you condition your environment so
that you request/command universe energy to provide smoothness in your life,
this is what you want. But remember too, (I am reluctant to give you so many
conditions or clauses and sub-clauses that it sounds like a very intricate
contract, for it is not,) you also want to be able to work through those
difficult situations. This is a learning planet; you came here to learn lessons,
to grow. So if you live in this nice cocoon of insulation, you will learn
nothing, you will never be challenged. So you want to accept challenges that you
have the capacity to resolve positively. It may mean that this person has a
lesson for you to work through, to grow through. It may mean that you help them
do that. If there is no resolve, then you must resort to protection. </P>
<P>And of course, some situations are too difficult to deal with. To pet a
kitten or a cat, one does not go out in the wild and try petting wild lions, do
they? One begins by petting a tame cat at home. So you discern those issues and
situations that are workable from those which are not, those which will harm you
and those which hold potential for growth.</P>
<P>Student: Question? (Certainly.) One possibility comes to my mind, is that
such a person that we might have to deal with, might also have outside
influences affecting them in a negative way. Seems that it might be helpful to
also put a shield around them to allow only the positive to come through, and
thereby giving them a little better base line or is this…? </P>
<P>Rayson: This is possible as well. One does not want to interfere with the
lives of others, because it engenders feelings of godfulness and manipulation,
so you would want to do this very carefully. It would also be helpful to know
personally, first hand from that individual, whether they wish to have a
‘healing’ or are they open to the order of the universe, the order of events and
the coherence in their life. For if they are open to this, much can be done
because they have given agreement to these positive works. Whereas, if they are
predisposed to accept their situation and live with it, and accept it, and are
not able to work with it, then there is little that can be done for them until
they come to awareness of the need to live in harmony.</P>
<P>Student: That’s the conclusion that I reached when I first read that
transcript, that if you place a shield around them, it ‘feels like’ you are
taking away their free will, in one aspect, and in the second level, how would
they reach the point of "if the shoe fits so bad, they really want to change
it?" </P>
<P>Rayson: That’s true. That is why it is so useful to command these conditions
for the <I>highest</I> <I>and greatest good for all concerned</I>. Let me
continue with that a bit. People who believe in God often wonder why some
situations go on as they do. They have prayed fervently in groups, maybe whole
societies, communities, praying for the welfare of one individual, and yet no
good comes to this, it seems. There are oftentimes much higher purposes involved
than what the group perceives. We can recall an instance from Daniel’s past
where his group of friends was praying diligently for the healing of a lady who
was terminally ill. And their doing so only prolonged her living in agony.
Finally this group came to the realization that divine order may mean that this
individual pass from this realm on to the other. And surely enough, when the
group did this, the lady passed on within a couple of days, and all was well.
So, what is good for one may not be good for another. Therefore it is always
wise to pray that the Divine Mind of Mother Spirit condition your prayers and
requests for the use of this energy. Therefore, you have become the initiator
and Mother Spirit and Father Spirit become the conditioners of the results for
the invocation of the energy.</P>
<P>Student: I see that the energy could be used by the individual for raising
the level of understanding of meanings and values, truth and beauty of their
previous experiences. Am I correct?</P>
<P>Rayson: That is correct, yes. They open their mind then to broader dimensions
of understanding. They are then able, with their Thought Adjuster and their
Guardian Angel, to re-interpret the experiences of their lives in new ways for
greater wisdom. Truth, Beauty and Goodness are all around you, but if you do not
see them, then you cannot appreciate them. So too, in the experiences of your
lives, there is much beauty, truth and harmony that can come to you when you
begin to integrate all the parts and pieces and experiences for the greater good
of your life. But to do so, you must open yourself to an expansion of
consciousness, must you not? Certainly. So in this regard, when you pray for
this, request an expansion of consciousness and understanding in insights. Then
those around you will be greatly assisted. And they work during your sleep and
during your daytime, and during your meditation. Be mindful of this process and
hold these sessions with intention, so that your consciousness will be
broadened. (Thank you, Rayson.) You are welcome.</P>
<P>Let us be still for a moment. (Long pause) Let us change tack a bit. I have
mentioned the discussion of the topic of churches, and churches come in several
forms. They come in brick and mortar and they come in communities. It is the
church community that makes way for a true, functioning church. For without
this, no matter how grand the brick and mortar and stone and glass, it can never
rival the accomplishments of the humble group in a humble setting. These
discussions, we hope, will help you understand the functioning on a deeper
level, the energetic level for church groups. This can give you new purpose in
meaning, direction, for the functioning of your church groups. We could use the
words, "religious centers" as well. For these are religious activities, wherever
they are done, no matter in what setting. You should be mindful of this as you
move forward, for if this group moves from five, to fifty, to five-hundred,
where will you be and where will you meet, and what will you do, and how will it
be different, and how will it be the same? You are the forefathers and the
foremothers of the Father’s Temple, the Father’s Religion, the Father’s Church
that eventually will come into being. Many of your generations have known truths
and have passed them by saying that it is not for them to do, that was not the
right time. But we wish you to open your consciousness to the possibility that
<B>this</B> is the right time. And <B>this</B> is the right generation. And
<B>this </B>is the right place. </P>
<P>When you do so, when you open that possibility, you open yourself then to a
broadened, expanded process of thinking, of consciousness. For we have been
building your group consciousness, this group merkaba, with your acceptance for
many reasons. And you all could walk away from this and never come back, and yet
this anchor would remain. And you could gather again many times in larger and
larger numbers, and it would remain. And how would you use it? And what would it
be for? And how would it affect your group? And how would your group affect it?
For when you build a group merkaba, you have really created a ….’temple’ is too
potent a word, and ‘church’ is too meaningless… you have developed a community
of spiritual, religious consciousness, a place of joining together for a
purpose, an intent. And so you have begun to build a church. Think about these
things, for this will happen many times over in your nation, and in this world
in years and decades to come. There will be merkabas planted all over your
planet. And they will join together creating harbors of content, harbors of
light, harbors where you can come to and worship. Now, your question,
please.</P>
<P>Student: In the last session there was mention of possibly making use of the
merkaba as a group to explore other dimensions, other locations…what is there
about that?</P>
<P>Rayson: We would like to do that with you at a separate session.</P>
<P>Student: We have committed ourselves to develop a worship service for the
Urantia community. We have had a great deal of struggle with this…(Rayson: We
know!) [group laughing]…people have often been collecting ideas/perceptions of
what’s appropriate, what they like and what turned them off in their past, in
their experiences. Anyway, the last session you spoke of meaningful symbols and
rituals that are needed. I wonder if you would discuss that further? How we
might be open to suggestions that we not throw out the appropriate things that
we have created. One in the group that has proved most difficult ……</P>
<P>Rayson: Yes, I would be <I>most glad</I> to address that. And we will massage
this as often as you wish until clarity is achieved. We have been very observant
and participating behind your chairs, <B>literally</B>, at these meetings, [much
laughter] and have witnessed you going through these gyrations, and feelings
inside yourselves, the thoughts that you have about past experiences and it is
such a cloudy, cloudy environment, that is difficult for you to find clarity
when each of you has brought so much cloudiness to the table. </P>
<P>I am going to speak in general terms and not in direct, constructive terms.
(Student: Could I interject something for just a second? I saw this merkaba that
we established today as the corner stone of a church, and that as it grows, and
this is replicated over and over in groups, that we from this place, establish.
That will be the church, it will be the merkabas created by many, many people in
conjunction with each other…and co-creatively with Michael and Nebadonia…and our
unseen brothers.</P>
<P>Rayson: For now, let us imagine a church. Let’s in fact imagine a cathedral.
If you’ve ever been to the Chartres Cathedral in France, Notre Dame, or some of
the other great cathedrals, they are massively impressive, are they not? For
one, they are a material manifestation of the muscles and sinew and energy and
sweat on the brows of many hundreds, if not thousands, of workers. You walk
inside the massive doors and you are impressed with the grand spaciousness of it
all. And you feel as though you have walked into a hallowed, sacred space. And
so you have entered into a mind-set of worship, and that is why these cathedrals
were built this way, it was to energize the worshipful, humble nature of each
individual. It sets a tone; it is an environment. And so, when you build your
churches, whether they are within this residence or a great church building or
cathedral, the most important process, most important element is the <I>mind-set
of the individual,</I> as this being a sacred, hallowed space, reflective of the
hallowed, sacred space that is ‘in you’ as an individual. </P>
<P>An element that is needed is an ‘officiant’, one who directs the
orchestration of the services that follow. And the acceptance of those who come
there that this individual will lead you into worshipful, minded, hallowed
presence. Then there are the services. The order of service, and if you analyze
these elements, you will see in the very best churches lead you in a
progression, an elevation of spirit, so that you have a feeling of spontaneous
joy and ecstatic gratitude. In the worst cases, none of this is present. In that
place in between, you may go to churches and find one part superlative, that
leads you to wonderful joy and gratitude, and the next part of the service will
take you to places where you are anxious and fearful. </P>
<P>The elements of both are known to psychologists, group dynamics experts,
group process experts, and by church officials. It would be helpful to your
committee to visit churches: Catholic churches, Episcopal churches, Methodist
churches, Lutheran churches, Non-denominational churches. Find out what makes
them tick, what works, what elevates people, what brings oneness of spirit, and
then, <B>do not be afraid to incorporate them</B> into your new church service.
One can do all of those things in that context, and achieve the individual union
and point of contact with their Thought Adjuster, for really truly, deep,
worshipful contact. The advice is to select the best processes and incorporate
them, and do not be afraid to practice them, to use them, over and over again
until you get good at that. </P>
<P>A congregation is a community, they are a working entity, and that is why
this merkaba construct creates a community of oneness. You now are bonded; you
now have come here and shared this exercise, this energy, you are in oneness of
spirit. And so you are also seeking that in your Urantia groups, if I understand
you right. You are seeking oneness and harmony and flow of your service. A
church service for regular worship is different from that of a funeral, that of
a wedding, that of a baptism. Yet they all start with that community of oneness.
You are habitual animals in many ways, so it requires the habituation of
returning often to that site and doing these rituals over and over again, with
the ‘intent’ of being ever ‘mindful’ of what you are doing, not forgetting why
you are there. This is running two circles simultaneously, that is difficult,
how to maintain spontaneity of worship and joy and gratitude, ecstasy—and yet do
it in a venue that is habitual. How do you achieve that? Those are questions
your group will need to answer. This is not an easy topic for you to accept or
discuss, I know. To move ahead, there are different thoughts by different people
of what should be done. That is why this group here has as good a chance of
developing a functioning, worshipful, spontaneous, joyful group worship service
as easily as any others could do, and perhaps more easily. There is much work to
do as you see. You are beginning to get to that place where you rub two hands
together and feel the heat that is occurring. You are beginning to reach out
with one hand and shake the hand of another person and engage them in new ideas.
You are beginning to apply these principles of Universe Energy to very specific
issues. And they will all come about in success. We are very pleased that you
are thinking about these things, that you are asking questions about them, and
that you are striving for the best results. We suggest that you set your hurdle
low, rather than in having to have the ‘perfect service’ immediately, to which
you will always be disappointed. Begin practicing one part very well, and
building from there. Begin with your intention of the group. Why are we doing
this? What are the purposes involved? What outcomes do we wish? From there, your
interests will become common, and your individual positions should dissolve.</P>
<P>Let us close today…..<B>Very Good!</B> I saw this minded arc of each one of
you coming to center. As you saw, the <I>oneness of the group</I> form in this
closure, and this is something I hope you see and feel as well. Once you have
begun to feel this oneness, this bond, this commonality, this co-creative
participation of each of you in the group, with each other and with us, you will
experience something that will <I>never</I> be removed from your lives, during
this lifetime and all others. </P>
<P>Blessings to you as you go forward in your week, be mindful of your lives,
your thoughts, your actions, be of service to yourselves, as well as to others.
Love yourselves equally, as you do your own children. Nurture yourselves in ways
that are positive. And feed upon the love of your Father. Good day. </P>
