NM, USA <BR>Teachers: Machiventa, Tomas, and Bob <BR>Topics: Courage -
3rd Adjutant Mind Spirit <BR>Individuality - 3rd Chakra - the Color Yellow
<BR>Our Connection to All That Is <BR>All about Angels <BR>T/R's:
Gerdean (Tomas & Bob), Matthew (Machiventa) <BR><BR>Prayer:
(Matthew) Let us place ourselves in the presence of Jesus, the
Christ. <BR><BR>Master Teacher, <BR><BR>We come to you today with uplifted and
excited presence of being over some of the heroic stories of what this book
(Urantia Book) and the Bible, as we have inherited it, tell, which has raised
our level of faith and our presence of knowing to new heights. <BR><BR>We are
encouraged by all that we have shared together and, after all, that has been
the purpose in your illustration of "where two or more are gathered."
The strength and the illumination that comes as a result of it is truly
enlightening and exciting. <BR><BR>We ask for whatever teachers you designate
today and for whatever the message is that we will take it to heart and mind
and become renewed individuals as a result. <BR><BR>And for those who are not
here, we ask your presence with them when they are not knowing of your
presence with them as they continue to make their way back to us and our
group. And for all of those in our lives who are loved ones, known, and for
those who we do not know in the body of Christ, we rejoice in the centrality
of you with our Father, now and always. Amen. <BR><BR>TOMAS: Centered
now in the eye of God, I greet you. I am Tomas. Good afternoon. <BR><BR>It has
been a wonderful day today in observing your own classroom efforts, the
teaching and preaching of the Gospel, the facts of your universe history, and
the players upon the stage of life as it has been lived in your world.
We are students of your world, as well -- always fascinated by the
efforts of the agondonter to find the nugget of truth in the maze of chaos,
yet unformed. <BR><BR>The idea of Courage is on the agenda today. The Courage
of the 3rd Adjutant Mind Spirit will be addressed by our Teacher's Assistant,
Bob, but in the meanwhile the Courage of your conviction is evident and the
Courage of your desire to know is also prevalent here in the questions and
probings of matters which give credence to your belief and substance to your
speculations as to how you got to be where you are. Who came before you
and for what reason, for what purpose, and how has this all affected what you
know to be 'reality?' And how will this reality be plucked from the unformed
maze chaos to grow into the greater realization of your own soul-self?
<BR><BR>This is, perhaps, the most obvious quality of the agondonter, his
Courage, for he forges ahead in the face of not knowing, but only feeling,
sensing -- persisting and pursuing that which is his birthright, standing up
for that which rings true, extolling that which gives clarity and purity to
his life -- his perceptions. Even when these perceptions are
occasionally torn down to make way for yet another more elevated reality
focus, the courageous agondonter continues to pick his way through the pieces
to find that existing kernel of greatness, that core of reality which forever
leads him forward. <BR><BR>Let me get Bob for you. He is ready to begin, if
you are. <BR><BR>BOB: What About Bob? <BR><BR>Well, I know that
you are making an adjustment. You are accommodating me because I am not your
regular professor. I am not, in this course, speaking to your higher nature. I
am not pin-pointing your God-Fragment and recognizing that aspect of you. I
am, rather, contrarily, reaching into your recognition of yourself as a mortal
being - a material-reality-based entity, which shares many common bonds with
the animal of the realm, that shares Intuition and Understanding of an animal
nature with the beasts of the realm. <BR><BR>I am assuming the stance that
these 'beasts' are noble, that these animals are beloved. I'm not focusing on
'animal' as a lesser state, but merely as a statement of fact. <BR><BR>Last
week we discussed the Spirit of Understanding, the Understanding that you are
all in this experience together, as a group, as if you were born into a litter
of pups or kittens. You learn from each other certain behaviors. You act
according to the 'group mind' - the understanding that by staying together as
a herd you have an advantage over going off by yourself. The social
repercussions of this animal-like behavior, results in "watering hole", the
neighborhood bar, the community center, the gregarious nature. It also is
related to that conformity of being that keeps civilization advancing, keeps
you all from going too far from the standard operating procedure of your
culture. Understanding these things about life keeps you safe. And yet it can
also be a mind-set that becomes the mind-set of the pack, rather than the
mind-set of the individual. <BR><BR>The Spirit of Courage enters in when we
think of and speak of the Individual. It takes Courage to be yourself.
It takes Courage to have your own thoughts - to have a thought different
than the group-thought, the community-thought. Inventors have always
been looked at as 'odd ones,' because of their investigations into untried
thought. <BR><BR>All of you who act differently, or outside the 'norm,' are
looked at with a certain amount of suspicion for your actions endanger the
flock, the whole, the group-mind. The entire herd migrates. The entire
flock migrates. The entire school of fish moves along the course. Those
who stand out or take off on their own accord are vulnerable to extinction,
eradication. And the same is true for the human animal. The same is true for
you. <BR><BR>The Spirit of Courage can be likened to the 3rd Chakra, in the
ancient Chakra system, that which emits from the middle, the stomach.
The color is yellow. The color of the 3rd Chakra is yellow. Yellow is
the 'I Am' color - the See Me color. Yellow is individuality.
<BR><BR>The vortex of Individuality can be good or evil. This is not a course
in morality, but a course in understanding the animal nature, for as I said
before, and will repeat again, the more you can understand your nature, the
more you can understand the nature of your neighbor and the more you can
understand your neighbor the more readily you can learn to love him, assuming,
of course, that you have a wholesome sense of self-love about you. And this is
the foundation for Peace on Earth, or peace in any gregarious sociology.
<BR><BR>How about I ask for some class participation and take a moment and
think of some examples of animal courage. Any animal, including human
will do. <BR><BR>What comes to your mind's eye, Esmarelda? <BR><BR>Esmarelda:
I think about the cat, immediately. They have a lot of courage. They are
not aggressive, necessarily but when anything attempts to harm, they have the
courage to take care of themselves.<BR><BR>There are other things. Like, it
takes courage to raise children. It takes courage just to simply participate
in our lives!<BR><BR>BOB: Give us an example, Janet, of a creature manifesting
courage.<BR><BR>Janet: Well, there's my kitty…when a strange cat comes in our
yard that is invading her territory and she wants no part of it. She has
no front claws (but doesn't know if they have!) but she goes out and hisses
and snarls and chases them away. I guess that's courage. <BR><BR>BOB:
Yes, it is revealed as courage. Defending her own turf, certainly.
<BR><BR>The behavior that individuals manifest in hissing and snarling and
making a fuss to protect their own turf is also a reflection of Courage. And
yet it is often seen as hostility. It is only hostility if you are
encroaching. <BR><BR>Matthew, what are you seeing? <BR><BR>Matthew: A
cow elephant defending her calf. I think I've seen pictures and heard
stories of an elephant fighting to the death to protect her young. And
then the bull elephant will protect the entire herd, but is seldom seen.
But the female will fight off the worst of attacks from lions,
etc.<BR><BR>BOB: Yes, the animal kingdom abounds…dogs barking in the night is
often a nuisance but it's also an act of courage for they are risking being
hit with a shoe to let it be known there are trespassers. Birds will defend
their food supply against even bigger birds by banding together and making a
fuss. Little tiny birds can also be courageous.<BR><BR>Carl, do you have an
image, a vision of animal courage to offer?<BR><BR>Carl: I'm thinking about
ourselves, the human animal. I'm reminded of the lines of an old song, "I
don't know what's coming tomorrow, maybe trouble and sorrow." We've
grown old together and we really don't know what's coming tomorrow but we feel
compelled to face whatever it is and do the best we can. <BR><BR>BOB:
You are speaking of human courage as a Council - as a Group - as a band
- "we" can accomplish this. Yes. This is the beginning of leadership,
which is also a study in Courage, <BR><BR>Again, without discerning good or
evil, there are those who will step outside the run-of-the-mill and get the
attention of the masses and lead them by understanding their needs. The same
is true for either side. If you can discern the needs of the herd, the flock,
the community, you can stand out in front and rally their support. This is
courageous. This is putting yourself in a position of saying, "See me -
look at me - I will show you - I will do it." Performing is courageous. Not
just circus animals, but performing the tasks of existence call upon the
Spirit of Courage. To run the risk of getting caught, being overtaken, going
hungry, being left out in the cold - all these are causes to consider when
considering the Spirit of Courage. The personality, the individual, that
bespeaks the Spirit of Courage, can be admired, or rejected, on the basis of
how it presents itself in its individuality. <BR><BR>It's a study for you,
finding yourself as an animal being, to augment the nobility of your mortal
estate with the dimension of the qualities that were introduced to you by the
Master, the person of Jesus, who, having left with you the Spirit of Truth,
enables you to discern for yourself whether that 'here am I - see me'
personality is leading the masses into trouble or into grace. And so
Courage enters into discernment and behavior, ethical behavior.
<BR><BR>You just experienced a national election in this country. You've just
seen the designated human animal wave their flag and say, "Vote for me - Vote
for Me!" This will encourage you to consider your own Spirit of Courage
and review the Spirit of Understanding, which recognizes the system for what
it is and the people for who they are, and not study only the evident 'I am'
ego, but the undercurrent of Courage. This will give you better understanding
of your world and the leaders of your world. <BR><BR>Spirit of Knowledge
<BR><BR>The next Adjutant Mind Spirit is the Spirit of Knowledge. It is
depicted in the Chakra of the Heart. The green, fertile, verdant seat of
growing, revealing, living, throbbing, life-giving, knowledge. Even the
animal kingdom comprehends the Spirit of Knowledge. They know, as you know
what you know. You know when to hide. You know when to attack. You
know when to ignore. You know when to interfere. <BR><BR>You cannot live life
and experience it without active engagement in all these spheres, all these
circuitries. You cannot avoid life. If you embrace life with the Spirit of
Knowledge you will never be bored, always have an adventure, yet something new
to be discovered, new territory to be investigated, amassing even more
knowledge for yourself and for those who fall in your
power.<BR><BR>***<BR><BR>Let's get back to the Spirit, which enlivens, but
never forget how you are -- here, at least … (and even into those realms
beyond, wherein your animal vestiges remain a part of you) … how you are
composed, of what you are comprised. Embrace the wholeness of your
being. Not simply the God part, but the Human part. This is much
of who you are. Much of your joy of being is to be found in the nature of your
composition. The Adjutant Mind Spirits augment and enhance your emotions and
without your emotions you live a shallow existence indeed. <BR><BR>I am
encouraging you to be all that you can be and grasp all that you are, with the
same vigor and enthusiasm that you devote to knowing more about your
spirit-self, and God himself. Find Him in you and in your fellows and
bring Him into existence, even in the material realms of time and space, thus
enhancing the quality of Light and Life throughout the material worlds of time
and space. <BR><BR>Good afternoon. <BR><BR>Group: (Thank you's)
<BR><BR>TOMAS: This is Tomas, again. We can stretch a bit and get
up out of the cellular structure you've gravitated toward. The focus on
the material is a bit like cuddling up in an overstuffed chair. You gravitate
toward it quite naturally but such comfort inclines you toward your
subconscious rather than your superconscious which is where we need to rise to
if we are to grasp the morontia mota of these Melchizedek courses of study.
<BR><BR>With that I will subside and allow others. <BR><BR>Matthew, take it
away. <BR><BR>MACHIVENTA: It's with good tidings that I make myself
known to you this fine fall day here in the Land of Enchantment. It's
considered the 'land of enchantment' for many reasons, but for me to be a
welcomed guest today, is more than welcomed, on my part. It is with
over-due welcoming that I was asked by your host of my words at this moment
(Matthew), to join you today. I believe, at his bequest primarily, just to see
if I would show up. (group smiles) <BR><BR>But nevertheless, let it be known
that whenever your request is made of our heavenly Father, or of the Christ
Himself, or of me, as a Servant of Divinity, that certainly, your requests,
made in all sincerity, and out of desire and need, for whatever that need may
be, are certainly addressed. Whether you know it or not your prayers are
answered in all segments of their make-up. For as all elements of a
constituted matter are composites of that matter, so too are your thoughts,
desires and prayers, for they take on the feeling, the emotion, the desire,
the wish for improvement - all of the components that go into that, add to the
fulfillment of that which is being sought. <BR><BR>So I wish to simply
reassure you that what you think, feel and desire - you receive. In other
words, what you wish is what you get. This is meant to be an
encouragement, not in any way an admonishment to tell you, as the cliché goes,
to "watch what you pray for." But rather to assure you that you are as
connected as sunlight is connected to its source. Imagine separating light
from its source. Therefor you are inseparable from your Source. And an arm is
certainly aware of its fingers. <BR><BR>Be within your mind, one with those
who sent you. I say "those" because you are part of the great and
glorious, and ever-present immortal God presence that has the wherewithal, the
knowledge and the presence of being to have placed in motion everything that
you are aware of, and well beyond your wildest imagination. Be present to that
which is all-powerful, wise and above all, eternally loving. For the
presence that you are aware of right now is only a glimmer of that which you
will know in your greater reality. <BR><BR>So be well advised that whatever
you desire, you may ask for, whatever you wish or need will be provided, and
to know that the Ultimate Good will prevail. So, without wanting to
extend my time beyond that which is provided, I wish you well. And know that
whenever you would need my thoughts or assistance, I am also only a thought
away. <BR><BR>So peace be with you and carry-on your Courageous Walks in the
Dark, for you are guided in every step you take and you are assured that lest
you fall from a cliff, you will undyingly be caught. <BR><BR>Be well assured
of your presence within All That Is and I am well aware, as you are, of where
we are going. <BR><BR>Peace be with you. Now and always. <BR><BR>Group: (Thank
you's) <BR><BR>TOMAS: This is your turn class. Have you got questions?
<BR><BR>Gerdean: I have one. I was reading last week's transcript
and Bob was saying something about he really didn't have any idea of
what the potential was for our world until Jesus came and he could see the
effect of Jesus having been here, impacting the world. <BR><BR>And that gave
me pause to consider because I had suspected, imagined, that Bob, being a
Supernal, was privy to a far greater range of perspective than that. It
almost seemed to be the perspective of a Midwayer who was limited by Urantia's
parameters. That's what made me wonder -- How far reaching is Bob's
purview? <BR><BR>And I don't know if that has anything to do with my
spiritual growth or development but it was just an interesting thing, I
thought. I just somehow got the feeling that angels had a much bigger
range of operation and that they knew everything…that they, certainly Bob, had
seen other world's settled in Light and Life, but perhaps not?
<BR><BR>Anyone want to address that one? <BR><BR>Carl: I was under the
impression that the angels pretty much had unlimited knowledge, but
maybe it isn't so. <BR><BR>Gerdean: We'll see who wants to tackle that
one. <BR><BR>TOMAS: Tomas here. I can tackle that Gerdean. That's not
too difficult. <BR><BR>Again, it's a matter of organization and, yes,
hierarchy. There is no one in the Universe who 'knows everything,' except in
Paradise. The Father knows everything. But beyond that, the rest of us only
know what's in our range of operation. And to reiterate one of my favorite
themes, nothing is more important than the realm of my realm. So I
understand your curiosity about what goes on in other realms of operation but
it isn't pertinent, in that, what's important for you is in your here and now.
<BR><BR>However, since you perceive Bob as being in your here-and-now and you
discern his credentials to be lesser that you expected, I will state that
there are all manner of angels and celestial beings assigned to different
areas, both geographic and cosmic. There are 'local' angels as well as
Supernaphim who are exclusively delegated the higher realms of reality
attainment in which to work. Each of the superuniverse being comprised of many
worlds, have their own allotment of angels, and, therefor, there is no reason
for someone on the 3rd superuniverse bother to about what is going on in this
7th superuniverse. <BR><BR>Just as Bob is in service to your world, his
knowledge is limited to his realm of operation and does not extend to the
angelic efforts of life on other worlds or other universes. You have to go up
pretty high on the 'totem pole' to be given the key to the doors of your
neighbors. <BR><BR>The Creator Sons are gathered together periodically in a
quarter of Paradise as if it were a Council meeting or a Governor's meeting.
But by and large they, too, are focused on their realm. Jesus' world,
Urantia, is uniquely part of the local Universe of Nebadon and while his
sojourn here was Universally compelling, it was a very unusual situation. For
the most part, all of the Universes are very well, orderly-run spheres.
<BR><BR>Bob's advantage to you is his ability to see you as you are. He
has observed acutely and has much to offer in terms of how he sees you rather
than how you see yourself. However, his range of operation is limited.
He is, as he says, a 'low-level' seraphim. There are ranges of Universe
service. We are one of them. When, and as, you have been around
along enough to see a bit more territory, you will have a better understanding
of who does what. But for now you may be assured that there are truly
hosts of heavenly helpers who hover over you in hopes of helping you embrace
your potential, grasp the Greater Reality yet to come, which is your
birthright, your destiny and your greatest joy. <BR><BR>Is that helpful?
<BR><BR>Gerdean: Yes. But it also seems that Bob has not worked with
mortals before, Is that so? Do you know? <BR><BR>TOMAS: I have asked
him, just now, and he has told me that you are the first that he has worked
with this familiarly. However, he has worked with many mortals, in many ways,
in and through the Midwayers that are their normal route of working with the
mortal realms. Just to make it easy for you, call to your mind the
pictures of angels that help keep little ones from running out in
traffic or falling off a cliff. Those are, loosely speaking, some of the work
of the angels, the angelic spheres. <BR><BR>There are different orders of
angels assigned to different types of work. The Angels of the Churches work to
uphold traditional religion and the values of congregation worship and
churchified activities, including song and psalms. There are Angels of the
Races that oversee the best interests of the Races of Time - not only the
human race - but the differing colored races in their cultures and in their
transitions. There are Angels of the Home, that oversee the efforts that go on
in the realm of home-building and child-rearing. They are not far from you.
<BR><BR>As Machiventa has said, 'just ask and we'll be there.' We have
waited and watched your world and anticipated the reencircuitment for a long
time and now that this time is upon us we are ready, willing and eager to be
engaged upon incorporating you back into the cosmic system of things; back
into the fold of the galaxy; helping you out of isolation into socialization.
<BR><BR>As Machiventa also stated, at this point it does not really matter,
and to what degree, we are "real." What we intend to do is encourage you
and assure you that you are not alone, that it is a friendly universe, that it
is teeming with life support for you and encouraging your many adventures in
learning, living and loving. The dimension of morontia is upon us.
<BR><BR>Welcome. <BR><BR>Matthew: Are the archangels that we've been
told about just assigned to this universe or are they inter-universal?
Are they Paradise servers? <BR><BR>TOMAS: Have you ever seen the TV show
about the Angels? (Yes) Have you noticed Andrew, who is always there
when someone is about to die, or is thinking about dying? He is what you
would call an archangel. That's what archangels do, loosely speaking,
they are related to the transition. They are not the same as the seraphim who
embrace your soul and carry it off to Mansonia, but they are closely engaged
in that realm of energy transfer; Reality Transfer, for sometimes the decision
to survive is only made at the last minute and that last minute needs to be
recorded. They focus their work on that moment. Those archangels are
invaluable, obviously, to your ascension and to your survival. And so they
hold a special place, although somewhat fearful place, because of their
proximity to the act of dying. <BR><BR>Does that help? <BR><BR>Matthew:
Yes. <BR><BR>TOMAS: You sound unsettled. <BR><BR>Matthew: Well,
no. Just that maybe its Milton's "Paradise Lost" that we're given the
information about Michael, Raphael, etc. and their leading legions in heaven
and so on. Are those individuals as archangels, as we have been taught,
of Paradise, or they just of this universe? Maybe the terminology is
wrong on this end. <BR><BR>TOMAS: Archangel Raphael, Michael, Uriel and
others are also depicted in militant regalia, a fashion statement, actually,
for the mortal mind which loves mythology. There are, indeed, archangels, and
there are indeed, many beings named Raphael, Michael, Uriel, and many others.
But the idea of Archangel Michael, Archangel Raphael, and
Archangel Uriel are by and large, depictions of characterizations of
personalities which do not exist in the Cosmos, but do exist in your minds as
a frame of reference. <BR><BR>It's nothing to worry about. Error will
pass away. But in the meanwhile they are very romantic
characterizations, very celestially swashbuckling, and they appeal to the
mortal mind, just as you love to depict angels with voluminous wings.
They don't have wings, but whether you think they do or not, is not the
point. The fact that they exist is what's important. Just as the fact of
archangels is important. Dramatization of these facts is creative license, for
the most part. <BR><BR>Is that helpful? <BR><BR>Matthew: It is, thank
you. <BR><BR>Janet: To me, angels are some kind of entity that God has
created and they do have a way of watching over us, guiding us. They don't run
around, I'm sure, in those long nightgowns with a couple of wings stuck on
their back. That's not exactly my idea of an angel. They're
just some strange little entity that comes into our lives and guides and helps
us. <BR><BR>TOMAS: You are completely correct, Little One, they do
indeed. <BR><BR>Janet: Even you call me little one! I've got that
all my life! <BR><BR>Group: (Everyone laughing) <BR><BR>TOMAS:
This was not to indicate your diminutive size, Daughter, but your
relative youth in the universe. (Thank you!) You are a very large person, in
that your heart is swollen with goodness. You are big. But would you feel
better if I were to say 'big one?'(laughter -No I guess not.) <BR><BR>You are
dear. All of you are very dear, and as I get to know you better and as
we engage in more adventures in morontializing reality, I love you more as you
are becoming more to love. <BR><BR>The season continues to proclaim the beauty
of Urantia and the spectacle of your perfect realm of reality. Go forth
and relish the wonders your eyes behold -- both your physical eyes and your
morontial eyes that perceive the Truth, Beauty and Goodness which is our
Father's, through our Mother, into the kingdoms of men. <BR><BR>Amen and
Farewell. <BR></BLOCKQUOTE></FONT></FONT></BODY></HTML>
