<P>DATE</B>: September 19, 2004</P><B>
<P>LOCATION</B>: Rio Rancho, NM</P><B>
<P>TEACHERS</B>: <B>Machiventa Melchizedek and Persephone </P></B><B>
<P>MUSIC</B>: Elena on Piano: "Jerusalem the Golden"</P><B>
<P>MACHIVENTA</B>: Pensive, gentle children. I come to you this afternoon as a
representative of our Michael Son, who seeks to uplift and embrace his children
all in one fond embrace. The work at hand is engaging me and my associates, my
Teacher Corps, and my many helpers throughout the sphere of Urantia, as well as
the region which was isolated from universe commerce to protect the universe
from the nefarious Lucifer. I tend you now to engage in the process of
re-encircuiting the isolated sphere of which I speak, into the whole, into the
fold of universe reality. For this, we come to engage your aid.</P>
<P>Yes, it is true that evolution will naturally evolve to a recognition of the
divinity you aspire to attain. While revelation will accelerate that process
immeasurably. We thus are here to enhance revelation. And while it is true that
the Urantia text provides great cosmology, history, and philosophy for your
ever-expanding philosophical and speculative appreciation, it is also true that
each one of you individually has an extension of the divine family are able to
bring forth, through self-revelation, those truths which you share with universe
reality. </P>
<P>Thus, we are engaged upon a very real program of reclaiming for God that
which is his. And in the process of re-encircuiting the living light of love
into the mainstream of your planetary existence, it will fall upon you then to
weigh and adjudge for yourself to what extent you are willing to participate in
this monumental undertaking.</P>
<P>I will not dwell long with you today, for there is a teacher here who will
spend some time with you on your personal development, but before I go, I, as
administrator of the Teacher Corps to which Tomas is attached, will be utilizing
him in more far-reaching efforts. Experience requires this. As you are advised,
you will be adapting to other personalities throughout the universe career, and
the same is true for us. It is required that we adapt to the vagaries of will
choice. Only the Father knows the end from the beginning, and while we are
assured His will will be done and His mission will prevail, we are only able to
effectively work in spurts of time, since it is a living, growing universe, and
adaptations are always an appropriate part of growth. Therefore, Tomas will
attend to you in a reduced capacity. Not that he will be reduced in his
capacity, nor you in yours, but in the context of the evolution of this group
itself. </P>
<P>I am personally pleased with the effect of his work on you as of the
inception of his teachings, and especially proud of the liaison that quickly
formed between Anatolia and Tomas that engaged you so effectively for that
period of time. They benefited immensely from the experience, as did you, and
this is appropriate.</P>
<P>Trust in the unfolding of Michaels plan for Urantia and for all of Nebadon.
While you can only concern yourself with your limited sphere of existence, that
is indeed the essential work the work of your realm and only you are able to
perceive that range of operation as you allow your divine Adjuster to provide
the enhanced spectrum of its perspective. And now, without further ado, I say
farewell and keep up the good work. </P><B>
<P>Group</B>: Thank you.</P><B>
<P>PERSEPHONE</B>: Good afternoon, friends and co-workers in advancing reality.
I am adopting a nomenclature for our efforts this afternoon. You may call me
Persephone.</P><B>
<P>Group</B>: Welcome.</P><B>
<P>PERSEPHONE</B>: Thank you for your welcome. It is a pleasure and privilege
for me to be here and to be given this opportunity to help you induce your own
self to know itself more and better, that you may find more contentment within
yourself and more potential for joyous service. </P>
<P>Recognize the limitations of the human language. I implore you to not be
limited by the limitations of the English alphabet, but to see beyond the
literal into the ethereal or figurative arena of imagination and freedom to
explore the universe, even that universe which resides within you and your
consciousness.</P>
<P>Your gathering today is evidence of your longing to enjoy your association in
spirit family with others. The spirit is alive and well within you each; and in
and through your appreciation of the spirit you connect with the spirit of
others, and that includes the engagements you enjoy with and through the
organized religions of your world. "The church" evidentiary of Christ -- is
undergoing tremendous change, as are you and as is Urantia altogether, thus the
light of truth will be found to shine there as well as in many other formats of
reunion you can find to enjoin with spirit.</P>
<P>In part, your sharing represents the concept of the confession, which has
been utilized in the church for centuries as a method of unburdening yourselves
of those unwanted tendencies that flesh is heir to, which, when confessed, will
only render you capable of meeting more intimately with the members of the human
race. For the saying goes, "Who among you convicts me of sin?" </P>
<P>What I would like to do this afternoon is invite you to get to know yourself
your inner self in such a way as to accept yourself, wholly and completely,
including the parts of you which you have been reluctant to let be known to
others as adjudged by you as being unworthy of the son or daughter of God that
you perceive yourself to be. This is unconditional love. This is the divine love
that the Father holds for you. It is also the divine love that your Adjuster has
for you. Thus, if you can perceive this for yourself, through your own will
choice, you will then begin to see yourself as your Adjuster sees you. And that
is with love in all circumstances, in all cases, in all conditions. And will
work with you from where you are, in order that you may learn to love more
yourself and thus others. </P>
<P>You cannot transmit what you do not have, and so <I>have what you are</I>. In
acknowledging all that you are to yourself, you can more readily honor that
flawed specimen as a work-in-progress, worthy, none-the-less, of respect and
consideration, even in those times when you are not putting forth your best foot
or [when] your views are reflecting your ignorance and the wheel marks of
experience when life has run over you. Only by understanding that this is the
scaffolding upon which you have been raised, can you then begin to replace that
scaffolding with the scaffolding that will be provided by the Adjuster when you
let go of that which no longer serves. </P>
<P>The real flaw is to assume these do not happen, or to demand perfection from
your fellows when that is not humanly possible. The point of time for you is to
live each moment loyally as a tadpole and when you find yourself having a
momentary frog experience, you will recognize the sound of your own croak as a
rightful, joyous noise unto the Lord even if it is only seen as a prayer for
continued growth and understanding. </P>
<P>You must be patient with yourself in order for you to be patient with others.
And the only way that you can get to know yourself in this right, in this
perspective, is to spend time with yourself -- to spend time inside with your
Adjuster, reflecting on those elements of life that get in your way of being all
that you could be. If you are too busy, if you are too engaged as so many are
in this day and age you will not have time to process your experiences and
reflect upon your choices, including your attitudes, as you engage with others,
as you have thoughts.</P>
<P>The goal for you now is to connect with your indwelling God-fragment, that
adjuster of your attitudes that puts you in constant contact with your dual
nature and that harmonizes the human and the divine in such a way as to provide
for you that sense of wholeness and well-being which will result in your joyous
acceptance of yourself as you are and in the unconditional acceptance of those
around you as they are -- able to love even unlovely mankind as a result of
knowing the human condition so well and appreciating and enjoying the saving
grace of that divine hand which reaches to you perpetually for you to hold, so
that it may lead you through the maze of mortal existence. </P>
<P>Make friends with that which lays within you, trusting that you will be led
even closer into that divine sanctuary of engagement where you may reflect upon
your being and receive the embrace of that which loves you with an infinite
love. Once you have given yourself up to the embrace of the divine, you learn to
trust its will such that you yield your own will to its leading. In this way,
you embark upon the road to fusion. It is our ambition to assist you in this
process so that you will know greater happiness, for happiness is indissolubly
bound up with spiritual progress. And so that your sphere may be benefited by
your having been here.</P>
<P>We and our Father invests all that we are and all that He is in the unfolding
of this reality, and you are invited to conjoin with us in the divine conspiracy
to lead all of humanity into a conscious acceptance and awareness of the living
water of God in all things and beings. </P>
<P>This has been a satisfying experience, being with you this afternoon. I have
felt you individually recede to a place within you that has given you respite
from the maelstrom of the animal existence. As you become strengthened in this
consciousness, you are better able to discern appropriate priorities and you
will gain the courage to stand by the commitments you make, recognizing that the
strength to do all these things comes from the Source. </P>
<P>I am not authorized to answer questions, only to walk you through the
experience you had in our session today. In closing I would like to pray to our
Universal Father and ask Him to deliver to us those impulses of a divine nature
that will compel us to draw ourselves nearer to Him, that we may increase our
faith and augment our usefulness, that we may wrap our arms around humanity in
such a way as to extend the reign of our Sovereign Son and Divine Minister into
the very elements and molecules of existence throughout and beyond the borders
of inhabited space. </P>
<P>So be it. </P>
