</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">Matthew:
Let us place ourselves in the presence of Jesus, the Christ.</FONT> </P>
<P><I><FONT face="Times New Roman">Master Teacher,
</FONT></I><BR><I> <FONT
face="Times New Roman">It's been a little while since we've been together, but
there's never been a separation or a gap in our connection with you or with one
another, since that will never be severed. We are eternally grateful for
the connection that you have made with us, and connected us to the Father and
made us one big happy family, as we will know in reality, as we progress in our
eternal careers.</FONT></I></P>
<P><I> <FONT face="Times New Roman">We
thank all of our teachers, wherever they are and whoever they are, both personal
and collective, for their efforts and dedication to us and to your cause and
purpose for which we are all united. We ask for the teachers that you will
provide today that we receive fruitful and productive suggestions for how to
continue our purpose in Christ, and for that, we are forever grateful and look
forward to your and/or messages that are brought to us today.</FONT></I></P>
<P><I> <FONT
face="Times New Roman">Amen.</FONT></I> </P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">Group: Amen.</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">TOMAS: Amen! Good afternoon, my dear
friends and companions. This is Tomas, your teacher and host for the
afternoon's gathering. We throng to this place to conjoin with you in your
up-reach and your circle of friendship. I wanted to introduce myself today
as your "black box" [referencing our pre-session dialog about various methods of
receiving cable TV].</FONT></P>
<P><FONT
face="Times New Roman">Matthew: That's
good.</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">Elena:
You only need one, right?</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">Group: (Laughter)</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">TOMAS: It is helpful to have
several. (Group laughter) You never know when one is going to
short-circuit. (Group laughter). </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">The transmittal process is a science indeed, a
study of universe equipment, utilized to bring the Voice of God into the
outermost reaches of creation. The merit to having several black boxes
that can Transmit the Word lies in the fact of so many different types of
Receivers. Each of you, in fact, is a unique receiver of the Word, of the
message, of the media that is broadcast -- though most, it would seem, have
turned their set off completely. But -- those of you who are turned on to
the greater reality have authority over the messages that come in, much as you
are able to control the programming and the volume of the television, which
accompanies so many of you on your life path.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">The circumstances of this Teacher Base at this
time are such that evinces a series of vignettes or newsreels as compared
to a lengthy melodrama ... because all of you are uproariously
engaged in a mass change of one sort or another, given the exception of
Esmeralda who started this whole cycle by remodeling. (Group
chuckles) And now the Bowens are in their new location and the Staffords,
as well, in theirs. And we have new furnishings at the school
teacher's abode! </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">All of this is an up-stepping of frequency for
your individual receivers. All of you are affected by all of these
changes. And with all of these events occurring/ transpiring
simultaneously, it is the ideal season to fine-tune your sets so that when the
long winter's night sets in, we will be able to choreograph our frequencies into
one harmonious "Lost Chord" of the Divine Word, which will reach into your heart
and broadcast the messages of Salvington, and even Havona, to you
literal-minded, material creatures of my assignment. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">We have guests this afternoon, Anatolia and
I. And while this is not unusual, it is in accordance with the theme of
<EM><STRONG>receiving that which is transmitted</STRONG></EM>, that certain
programming be presented that will appeal to you each individually, if not
always as a group and if not always extending into the greater community of the
Teaching Mission and the greatest breadth of the Correcting Time at large.
Without further ado then, let me step aside and Anatolia can commence.
</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">ANATOLIA:
This is a fine day in which to live and rejoice and have your being.
Contrary to but in the same token, the Native American saying "It's a fine day
to die," means the same as what I am expressing: "It is a fine day to
live" - knowing that your consciousness is a flow unbroken by any event, even
unto death, as you know it. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman"><STRONG>"This is a fine day to live"</STRONG> -
whether where you are or where we find ourselves to be or anywhere that your
mind and your heart can envision to be, for when you find yourself on the other
side of physical restriction, you will find the opportunity to be where your
heart and mind place you. This is truly what it is to be at one with
all-that-is, for you can traverse angles and pyramids and caverns and open
space, if you will, indefinitely. However, even this would eventually have
its limit, in terms of interest, for there is no finer and greater and more
meaningful purpose than to adjust your frequencies to those of the living God
Presence.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">To be in the presence of God is to be
godlike. Like attracts like. The refinement of your being and your
character and your will, predominantly, is what attunes you to the frequencies
that allows God-mindedness to be evident and present in your being. This
is what we strive to do in our efforts, for there is no other effort worth its
salt, if you will, that is any greater than to bring the consciousness of
individuals to their ultimate purpose. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">I hate to use cliches but these are terms that
you will recognize and the simple statement says it all, that "Rome was not
built in a day." This, too, is meaningful, yet is only one side of the
coin. While Rome was not built in a day, it is as if, in reality, Rome, at
its height (not in terms of power but in terms of purpose) existed at the same
time that it was in formation. For the goal and the purpose and intent
were there long before it ever came into fruition. So, too, it is in your
hearts and minds, my children, that as you set your sights and your goals, for
nothing less than unification with your eternal Creator. Then my friends
you have nowhere to go but that destination. However, it is in your
current circumstances, the physical maintenance of that program that you must
see through to completion, and the rest will be like a feather floating to its
destination.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">This I present to you with good news intended,
happy hearts expected, and pure vision and sight projected. I wish you
what I know to be true in my heart and mind, that the purpose of our creation
and the purpose of our return to our Creator is to bring us and our Creator to
perfect satisfaction, for the Spirit that is us, will not be fully satisfied
until all creation is satisfied. So you see, we all have a lot of work to
do. It is the best of work. It is the only work that has lasting
merit. I leave you with this simple fact of truth: that the all-purpose is
the only purpose. Renew your hearts and your minds to this message that I
wish to renew for you today, and join me in our eternal purpose for unity in all
of creation.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">I leave you in peaceful, good tidings, and
eternal love surrounding you, as we are one in the Christ, now and always.
Peace be with you. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">Group: Thank you. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">MACHIVENTA: I am
Machiventa Melchizedek. I am here to greet you. To be a part of your
comfort for a brief time this afternoon. The purpose of my visit - aside
from offering comfort in companionship - is to re-establish for you my
evidentiary authority in your realm. I am here because of an emergency
mission. And the emergency mission in this case is to keep alive the light
of truth during the tumultuous times in which you live, the changes through
which this planet is currently undergoing. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">The difficulty with such a planet as Urantia,
that has been so beset with difficulty as to virtually have no underpinnings, is
that you live in an almost constant state of dire need. And everyone
has terrible need to find some kind of order in this otherwise chaotic state of
being, in which you Urantia mortals find yourselves. The attempt to
instill and perpetuate evolutionary realities is the product of trial and
error. And while some of you find that process and the subsequent results
acceptable, there is a growing number of you who feel that the existing
paradigms of reality on Urantia are such that there must be a better way, and
begin your search - your soulful search - for divine guidance along the path to
perfection.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">Those of you who have set out on this path are
those whom we have enlisted in the Reserve Corps of Destiny, to lead humanity
forward on the compelling path to truth, beauty and goodness, and these teachers
that we have sent into your realm are committed to that purpose as well.
But when you feel the urge to reach beyond that which is known to that which is
yet unknown, (like the telephone ringing!), will be helped in your efforts to
advance for as you advance, so do your fellows.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">One of the mortal ministers among you uses a
little rubber figure of a man which stretches, which makes the point that while
you stretch far beyond your normal state, you will return to your normal state,
reconstituted and ready to reach again for the impossible. As you reach
for the impossible, you contribute to the lure that will compel others to also
extend their reach into that which is yet unknown, even as all of you return to
that which is familiar, to take comfort in the reality that is familiar and that
serves as your medium of life.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">Thus, when you feel stretched, when you feel you
have reached beyond your capacity and when you have extended yourself beyond
normal mortal endurance, consider your work for the Lord and let divinity take
charge of that effort you have extended and expended, into those realms beyond
your consciousness, in order to draw forward those who are affected by the
energy you leave in the wake of your striving. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">And finally, I am here to thank you for your
efforts on behalf of the Supreme God, that reality which we all serve. Go
in peace.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">Group: Thank you!</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">DANI: My name is Dani. I'm a
secondary midwayer. I'm here with several of my fellows. I am not
the one who is manipulating the black box. I can't speak and perform that
service at the same time. Thus, I have someone who is what you might say
is "the wind beneath my wings." The Prince, Machiventa, was just
discussing how it is that you contribute to the stabilization of the advancement
of the revelatory reality of divinity, how it is that you contribute to working
with the Reserves in times of urgency, as it is apparent from any news broadcast
on your world, there are some pretty urgent situations on-going which have been
going on for millennia and which will seemingly continue for millennia unless
and until someone and/or all of us unite to redirect the paradigm of reality on
this blighted planet. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">Yes, it is a blessing indeed that we have been
gifted with this re-encircuitment plan and the subsequent relationship with the
teachers of the Teacher Corps and beyond, who have been helping you realize
yourselves in the spirit sense, instilling in you a sense of dignity status, and
according your sonship status the guidance it requires to stabilize and
reality-ize the arena over which you have an influence. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">It is to some extent still difficult, however,
for you to realize the blessing that the United Midwayer corps is to you as
well, for we are what you might call "land-locked" and our turf is not so
lofty. Our efforts remain in the streets of your world where the need is
great. No, we are not the conscience of divinity, not by a long
shot. In many ways we are like Paula here. We are occasionally real
"stinkers," but we are surely and certainly workers in the field.
</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">And so when you want to talk about the work of
the realm, while the teachers may uphold your dignity, we will teach you how to
get your hands dirty. We might even be able to teach you to be "stinkers
for reality" which is not much different, really, than being "fools for God"
but, God knows, there are enough fools on the side of darkness, that it
sometimes takes tactics to effectively counter the budding realities of evil
that spin uncontrolled from the mind of man which has run amok of the mind of
Infinite Spirit. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">Thanks for having me over. I will be
around. Watch for me in your life and for my fellows who are "busting our
butt" for you and your siblings.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">Group: Thank you, Dani.</FONT> <BR><FONT
face="Times New Roman">Esmarelda: We appreciate
what you are doing.</FONT> <BR><FONT face="Times New Roman">Elena:
We really do.</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">MERIUM:
This is Merium, an old friend of the
Teaching Mission, a playful matriarch of sorts, a morontia babysitter. I'm
here to lift you up from the ponderings of your reach into the realms of greater
reality. I would like to help you recognize your environs and feel joyous
and childlike within them. Let's start with your chair. How do you
feel in your chair? Is your behind comfortable? Are your hands at
rest? If you have any disagreeable physical sensations, it would do you
well to regard that as an initial priority, for as long as you are irritated by
your immediate environment, which is your physical encasement, it will be
relatively impossible for you to get beyond that, to transcend that, and to be
grateful for all that is, all that you purvey.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">There is nothing wrong with enjoying
yourself. There is nothing wrong with accepting your accomplishments and
enjoying your acquisitions. There is nothing wrong with putting your feet
up at the end of a long day and looking back over your efforts and finding them
well done. There is nothing wrong with a certain contentment from having
done a job well ("Life is but a day's work; do it well.") </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">There is, however, some degree of
self-indulgence in complacency, for complacency effectively overlooks mercy, and
it is mercy that seeks to minister to those who suffer.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">The problem with you young ministers of the
gospel is that you have a hard time ascertaining how to be of service.
This is generally because you are looking at the big picture and finding the
effort you might make insignificant. How could you possibly do anything
about uranium unleashed in Iraq? How can you reach into the addictive
personalities of opiates and salvage those souls? How can you wipe the
tears and the dirt from the faces and the feet of the children who have not
eaten for days and whose future is bleak? To dwell on the global picture
is to behold horror. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">Have mercy! Have mercy. How can your
efforts to help one individual who is suffering make a dent in the scene before
you? Trust the process. Trust the need to serve. Trust the
stirring within you that would be of service, that sees a simple need and<U>
can</U> do something about it. It is that reality within you and the
effect of your choice to do something that joins with the energies of those
others across the world and across the universe that exponentially conjoin to
help uplift even those, even those. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">You are not to wallow in guilt for the condition
of your world! Shrug off that burden, that cross, and lift yourself up to
the full potential of your inner self, that which is truly free, that which is
liberated in the spirit, that which sings praises to those On High who have
given the gift of life and who have given abundantly to those who choose to do
and can do His will. While it reaches into the masses with unbridled mercy
to enfold, encompass and embrace the lost sheep, the misguided, and misdirected
authorities of lesser reality, that we might all rejoice in the light.
</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">Thus, open you hearts. Open your
windows! Open your minds! And allow the sun [sic] to shine.
Allow the divine mind to refresh your thickened brain cells, dusting the cobwebs
from your consciousness, to lift your souls into that sphere of light and life
which calls for others to join you in the service of and to humanity.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">TOMAS: Matthew, is there anyone knocking
on your door who would like to come through?</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT
face="Times New Roman">Matthew:
Yes. Jesus is. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">TOMAS: Let him in!</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">JESUS: Peace be with you, all of my
brothers and sisters. This is a message which has been awaiting your ears
for some time, for you have been looking for directions to go and places to
serve and willing hearts to lend whatever efforts needed assistance. I am
assuring you that your efforts will not be in vain, and that whatever you would
do to set the purpose of truth, beauty and goodness forward, as an improvement
program over what your world conditions presently see, I can assure you that
your efforts will not be wasted.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">I imagine you are thinking, "But what can I
do? I have responsibilities. I'm not able to drop everything that I
have to go off to Mozambique or wherever it may be to do what? To say
what?" This is not necessarily the requirement. The requirement is
that you see the need, desire to help, and to be willing to extend yourself
beyond your comfort zone. It is not to say, as was said, that comforts and
securities are bad. It is that these are now given, and to maintain them
is important, but to be able to do whatever you can do - whether it is darning
socks, performing before those who need to hear music and encouragement,
reassurance that beauty still exists, or to be able to fulfill the needs of
persons who seek comfort in an otherwise hostile environment - these are not
only examples of what can be done to be of service to the greater glory of your
Father, but to fulfill your purposes in being present at this time.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">Let us say, for conjecture, that these are "the
end times." I am, of course, not relaying to you that they are, per se,
because there is no "end time" per se, only change. What level of change
is to be seen. This is not a fearful statement or factor that you need to
consider in terms of, "Oh, no. The worst is yet to come." It is not
the worse. It is the best of opportunities to be of living and loving
service. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">When the apostles were sent forward, they had no
specific idea of where they were going or what they were to say, but they have
been prepared for when the time would come. I am assuring you that the
time has come for you to take up your cloak and knock off the dust from where
you have been and go forward into a new day that has hope, leadership, and
fulfillment of purpose within its reach. These are intended to be
comforting and reassuring words, not nudging you off of a seat in which you
currently sit, but to say, </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">When you stand again, walk with courage, knowing
you are with purpose and part of the eternal plan, and there is no reason to
fear. Be of sound mind and good heart in knowing that your thoughts, your
words and your deeds are my hands at work, my lips in service, and my feet to
carry whatever needs carried. I assure you that all is well and whatever
you do in my name and for our Father of all ages, will in fact be energized to
be fruitful and productive.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">I leave you in the highest regard and in the
safest of blessings, knowing that you are loved and secure, here and
forever. Peace be with you.</FONT></P>
