<P><STRONG>Student:</STRONG> Machiventa, could we have an update on the
Teaching Mission? How are we doing?</P>
<P><STRONG>Machiventa:</STRONG> We are as busy as … what’s the name of the place
where you do your stocks and bonds?</P><B>
<P>Group:</B> Wall Street.</P><B>
<P>Angus:</B> The stock exchange.</P><B>
<P>Machiventa:</B> The stock exchange. We are that busy! We have irons in all
the fires. It is an incredibly dynamic time. There is no time to rest on our
laurels. We must be alert. It is truly critical, what is taking place on your
world right now, and the energy that is coming forth from what you call the
Teaching Mission is a great stabilizer.</P>
<P>Years ago you were told that we intended to help you become the
representatives of that eye in the hurricane, that calm place in the maelstrom,
and as far as your adopting that role and living up to that responsibility, we
are truly impressed. It speaks well of your desire to be of service and to be
pleasing in the eyes of those of us you admire and want to please, respect and
honor by being obedient. </P>
<P>We are proud of you. Although I must say that it is a strain for you at times
when you allow yourself to be overly affected by the turmoil and when you are
reminded of the fear, when you feel the fear of the maelstrom around you. You
are sensitive, children. You have learned to be sensitive by opening yourselves
up to us, your heavenly helpers and spirit guides, and so we feel a
responsibility for you, an obligation for your safety, your sanity and your
security. Know that you are protected. You are cared for beyond what you can
imagine. </P>
<P>Certainly you have your seraphic guardians, but above and beyond that, there
are ministers. For example, the seconaphim, specifically the Union of Souls who
bring the oil of conciliation to soothe your rattled nerves when the incessant
warring and bickering overcome you, so that you may feel soothed, so that you
may open yourself to the ministrations of Mother Nebadonia, and allow yourself
to be lulled back into that place where you know you are cared for and that you
live in a friendly universe. </P>
<P>The Teaching Mission is fine. It’s the verbiage that gets in the way. The
words get in the way of the efforts that you all so fully give yourself to. This
is the difficulty of names, titles, and articles of incorporation, for they tend
to nail down the spirit which is moving and malleable. It is easy to become
crystallized and fixed on a perspective, as you saw today in the film you
watched: "What the Bleep Do We Know?" You think you know something. You put a
name on it. You incorporate it. You buy articles that represent an icon of that
which you enjoy and believe in. You may choose team colors, pick a team song,
have your favored team players, create a virtual hologram of reality, and it
isn’t necessarily meant to stick around! </P>
<P>This is the human condition. This is normal. We expect it. We will be there
when it breaks and we have to pick up the pieces and move on. Not so you can
create another hologram, necessarily, but so that you can begin to realize that
it is an on-going process. It is not fixated in space, like your material world.
The Mission we speak of is a living thing. It is not limited by the material
constraints, and so as you disallow inappropriate limitations, you too will
soar. You too will be malleable. You too will change as needed, letting go of
that which no longer serves, embracing that which is incoming, and you will
continue to be the calm in the eye of the hurricane. You have enough to do
without getting involved in the madness.</P>
<P>The more madness there is, however, the more people will turn inward, the
more they will seek a greater reality, and as their paradigm shatters, as their
construct falls apart, they too will look to the Divine for a new structure, a
new belief, a new way of life, and that is where we come in. That is the work we
do. That is what we have been preparing for. </P>
<P>The harvest is great and it’s getting greater. Continue to prepare yourselves
and anticipate also being busy. Do not think you have to keep up with the Wall
Street pace. Only as you are able to function well and happily, effectively, are
you going to be any good to yourself and others. So you determine how this
Mission is going. How do you think it’s going?</P><B>
<P>Student:</B> I think it’s evolving. And riding on the waves of the people who
have been attracted to it. I think that it has some tangents that are evolving,
maybe they’re not really real but they appear to be real to some individuals,
and I think it behooves us all to remember that we are all in it together and
that the Teaching Mission has many names, not just what we understand it is.
</P><B>
<P>Machiventa:</B> Indeed. You are a small group. A close-knit family. And as
you marry outside your tribe, you acquire in-laws and association with other
tribes, and some of them have unfamiliar ways and speak odd languages, eat
strange food, and have peculiar mating dances. (Chuckles) And the cycle begins
again. But this time, we will be working on a united world. </P>
<P>When the nations recognize the need to respect the sovereignty of other
nations, and allow them autonomy, as you allow individuals the autonomy of their
own existence, you will broach peace. We need to acquire peace because without
it, there is that constant tension and that constant tension detracts from the
joy of living and the progress that we will make when we can relax and develop
leisure time in which to think, when women are no longer subjugated and men are
no longer oppressed, when the spirit is alive within you all – regardless of how
you believe or what you believe. This is the next major hurdle and you are all
actively engaged in these initial stages of this process of developing light and
life on your world. </P>
<P>In my work with Abraham, I admired his ability to pull his troops together
into battalions of soldiers. He had armies that obeyed his bidding. And we
utilized strength and leadership such as Abraham's to draft you into this army
of light workers, that you may know who you work for, who you take orders from,
what the disciplines are, what the task is, and this is like boot camp. We are
just beginning to find out what the metal is, what we’re made of here, what our
potential is. But as you step forth to serve in this army, you will find your
place, you will be assigned your role, you will learn how to do K.P. You will
learn how to do push-ups, you will learn to be diligent, have stamina, practice,
have a good eye; you will learn to shoot straight at the right target and in
this case you will shoot with the arrows of love and bring down your enemies
with the power and might of the Almighty. </P>
<P>This is our task at hand. Gird up the loins of your mind and prepare to
serve. In the meantime, enjoy R&R. It is essential to happy children. </P>
