<P>TEACHERS: MERIUM, ANDROMADEUS<BR>TOPICS: Seraphic Planetary Government<BR>The
Angels of Superhuman Ministry <BR> </P></B>
<P>[We received mail from Michael G. in California, referencing last month's
lesson and submitting an artist's rendering in response to the discussion about
"How Do They See Us" and Andromadeus's comments about how it is "often the case,
as we spend time with each other, our energies are able to harmonize as I reach
down and the instrument reaches up." The group studied the rendering, some of
their discussion is herewith included.]</P><B>
<P>Student: </B>It is very flowing. It looks also a little bit haunted. There's,
in fact, from one angle you can see there is like this little Halloween face
here that looks a little bit scary and I think that has some bearing on why it
is that people are reluctant to engage in such a practice as talking to the
supernals because there is a scary element to it. </P><B>
<P>Student:</B> And yet I think that this is the process that evolving beings
like us go through to get out of the ghost cults and into a real engagement with
our supernal helpers. So when there are days that I wonder what the heck am I
even doing this for … when I stand back and look at it from an artist's
perspective, I can see it more rationally that this is a process that we're
going through. It may not make sense today, but in terms of the evolution of our
world, there's rhyme and reason to it. Another reason not to take ourselves too
seriously and not worry about dotting every eye and crossing every tee because
it's not perfected yet. It's a process.</P><B>
<P>Student:</B> Anyway, last month we were visited by Andromadeus who talked to
us about the Seraphic Planetary Government -- Andromadeus being a Most High
Observer -- and the reading from the Urantia Papers indicated that there were
twelve divisions of seraphim - angels - who oversee our growth and development …
twelve distinct divisions of labor, as it were, and that we work with as soon as
we are competent to do so they will induct us into their efforts, so we are
working with the angels as we allow ourselves to be open to divine providence.
</P><B>
<P>Student:</B> We talked last time about the angels of health, and were asked
to think about that throughout this month and Reneau offered some things to
think about in terms of the medical field that she has been engaged in
throughout her life. It is fairly apparent that she is assigned to the angels of
health -- at least in this time frame. </P><B>
<P>Reneau: </B>And the twelve are: The epochal angels, the progress angels, the
religious guardians, the angels of nation life, the angels of the races, the
angels of the future, angels of enlightenment, angels of health, the home
seraphim, angels of industry, angels of diversion and the angels of superhuman
ministry. </P><B>
<P>Gerdean:</B> So, do we have preference as to which one you want to learn more
about? Or we can ask them to ask more in detail, or embellish somehow?</P><B>
<P>Men-O-Pah:</B> The last one.</P><B>
<P>Gerdean:</B> You like the last one.</P><B>
<P>Men-O-Pah:</B> The angels of super enlightenment.</P><B>
<P>Reneau:</B> "The angels of superhuman ministry. These are the angels of the
angels, those seraphim who are assigned to the ministry of all other superhuman
life on the planet, temporary or permanent. This corps has served since the
beginning of the current dispensation." I guess that would include midwayers.
They are superhuman life. </P><B>
<P>Gerdean:</B> All right. Are we up to date? Is that a recap? Let's see who is
here. </P><B>
<P>MERIUM:</B> What? No music? No prayer? What a slave driver! [Laughter] This
is Merium, of course, coming in as a familiar "face" in your midst. Let's stop a
minute and bring some of that homely quality into your midst, for I know you do
not come here simply to feed your brain and study theological facts, but rather
to feed upon the living spirit which infuses the environment when we allow it,
when we give it an opening. </P>
<P>Just for an exercise, why don't you all go off-line and find yourselves a
rousing tune to sing together, so that you can come together in the spirit of
harmony. We'll come back in a minute. I know you who comprise the choir can
handle this assignment. </P><B>
<P>Men-O-Pah:</B> There is a song that we've been enjoying lately. We sang it
last time we met, over at me and Paula's house, and also the last time we were
here. It's called "Lord, Listen to Your Children Playing" and it goes like this.
</P><B>
<P>MUSIC: </B>"Listen to Your Children Praying" </P><B>
<P>MERIUM:</B> Bravo. Now we're talkin'. I can feel it. Spirit of God, lift us
up. Spirit of God, lift us up. Soaring now, we are, in the ethers. Since we're
here, would anyone like to salute Our Father and enjoin him to commingle with us
in this gathering?</P><B>
<P>Reneau:</B> Thank you, Lord. Come and be with us. Thank you for your
blessings. Bring us together. Be with us. Walk with us, as we know you do, every
day. Thank you, Lord.</P><B>
<P>MERIUM:</B> We praise Your holy name. Amen.</P>
<P>Thank you, children, this is very decent of you to accommodate me. I know it
accommodates your soul, as well, and so now we can pick up where we left off, as
it were [poor recording.] With [reference to the attention we are paying to
elections and human planetary government], let's give God equal time here today.
And perhaps the seraphic planetary government can inspire us and you to lift up
your perspectives and perceive how it is that while [poor recording], otherwise,
the Most Highs truly are ruling in the kingdoms of men. Yes, Andromadeus is here
with us today and will resume the topic, and there will be others. Let's get the
show on the road. Andromadeus, we are all ears. Come in, please.</P><B>
<P>ANDROMADEUS:</B> Andromadeus here. Thank you, Merium, and all of you who have
acquiesced to hear me. I am pleased to function with you as a visiting teacher.
You have asked about the angels of superhuman ministry, and the text says … let
me hear the vernacular you are working with.</P><B>
<P>Reneau:</B> "The angels of superhuman ministry. These are the angels of the
angels, those seraphim who are assigned to the ministry of all other superhuman
life on the planet, temporary or permanent. This corps has served since the
beginning of the current dispensation."<B> </P>
<P>ANDROMADEUS:</B> Yes, thank you. The seraphic planetary government is a
relatively new configuration on Urantia. It came together 2,000 years ago, after
Michael (Jesus) left here to assume his rightful place as Master Son of his
universe, Nebadon. The seraphic planetary government is indeed a part of the
restructuring that has been going on since he took power. Prior to his actions
that brought about the Council of 24 there was little organization at all on
your world. Even the midwayers were uncorraled.</P>
<P>The Master's presence on this planet has already instituted far more works
and wonders than you would know of because of your limited mortal perspective,
but this perspective is expanding as you become familiar with the precepts set
forth in the Urantia Papers, one of which is designed to introduce you to the
likes of which we are discussing. And you run right to the biggest, the most
nebulous of all, which is so typical of humans. You want to know what is just
beyond your reach. What are they doing? What are they doing among themselves?
How do they minister to each other On High? </P>
<P>And without knowing your individual motivations, I am responding to the inner
call for that mortal yearning that is so appropriate for children. All children
want to know more about their parentage and their cultural inheritance. Every
child wants to know who its mother and father are, and who its siblings are. It
wants to hear stories of what happened when mother was a girl and when
grandfather was a boy, for these provide the scenarios in which their lives take
shape and take on meaning, for one alone in the universe, without a frame of
reference, or sense connection, is akin to cosmic orphanhood, and orphans you
are not. You do indeed have elders, cosmic aunts and uncles, if you will, and
myriad cousins, well beyond the midwayer level, who are part of your greater
family. </P>
<P>And so it is no wonder you are curious to know about them and how they help
and serve one another. Even as you ask the question and I attempt to respond,
you surely must appreciate the difficulty I might have conveying to you the
response without drawing upon your own existence as a parallel, so that you
might be apprised of the similarities, for that is the concern you have for not
only who you are and how you fit within the framework of your cosmic
neighborhood and how you are a citizen of the universe but how you relate to the
planetary government and what they can do for this world, and what you can do as
a citizen of world. </P>
<P>It is very difficult, however because [lesson lost due to faulty recording]
of burnout in any server. The body tires, the mind grows weary, the emotions
drain, and the spirit itself requires renewal. As such, the divisions of
seraphic ministry have undergone change periodically, since its inception. Once
the leaders -- those in charge -- those who rule -- begin to show wear and tear,
they are replaced. There is a point of wisdom that comes from experience,
certainly, and this wisdom is what we strive for and depend upon. The seraphim
of superhuman ministry are those who minister to those who help, or more
specifically those in the realms of health, family life, nation life and so
forth.</P>
<P>Perhaps I could equate this to how it is that sometimes a psychiatrist needs
to see a psychiatrist, because they are dealing all the time with perversions of
thought processes which disrupt harmony in the minds of those who come to seek
healing. And sometimes the psychiatrist needs to have a reality check, or a
holiday from his or her efforts, in order to maintain that quality of excellence
that is necessary, and without becoming weary to the point of being frayed. </P>
<P>These seraphim of superhuman ministry are not administrators, if you think
that. They do not fire seraphim who are not doing the job. They are merciful and
are assisted by myriad types of celestial agents. Such as those which are beyond
your ability at this point to recognize. Even so, those entities are actively
engaged in the process of evolving and cultivating your spirit reality here
indirectly if not directly. And the same is true for the seraphim of superhuman
ministry. You may not work with them directly, but you may be sure they and
their work impact you. And you may also be assured that to the extent you are
growing into yourself and into cosmic consciousness, you will be assimilated,
along with those values and ethics which are the heart and soul of these mighty
helpers. </P>
<P>There are many mortals who fall under the shadow of this division of seraphic
labor. You may or may not perceive of yourself as one of them. And I am not here
to designate which ones of you are within the jurisdiction of the division of
seraphic planetary government that covers superhuman ministry, but I assure you
that I see your lights and recognize your efforts, even when and as you
yourselves are unaware of your contributions and even when your fellows are
unaware of your contributions to the Evolving Supreme and to the government On
High. </P><B>
<P>Reneau:</B> Maybe we should ask you then about the angels of nations life.
These are the angels of--</P><B>
<P>ANDROMADEUS:</B> No. Not today. [Okay] Today we will take the angels of
superhuman ministry and focus on them so as not to confuse the issue. This
month, in your meditation time, consider and ponder the love of the Creator who
would go to such an extent to develop such a plan that involves itself in the
cultivation of your reality, even yours personally, by and through the auspices
of these beings and through the orchestration of their organization. </P>
<P>It is beyond my ability to convey to you how impressed I am with their
efforts and their accomplishments on your behalf. But it will only mean
something to you if and as you perceive it within your own consciousness as a
reality, not as a piece of information. And so I invite you to open yourself up
to your Adjuster's leading you into a glimpse or two or three of how it is that
you are being led along the path of spiritual awakening. And let me further
suggest that having glimpsed the degree of … your growing reality, that you bow
your head and humble yourself before that love as would nurture you so
painstakingly, even out here on the outer rim of space. We have a God worthy of
worship for our very existence. It is with joy that we consecrate our will to
doing that which He has in store for us. </P>
<P>I release you now for your normal studies. I will see you again next month.
Thank you.</P><B>
<P>Group:</B> Thank you.</P><B>
<P>MERIUM:</B> This is Merium again. I'm glad we had the platform available for
Andromadeus in this group to address these topics of interest. I look forward to
the effects of such causes and I look forward to them manifesting in a greater
appreciation for each other, a greater acknowledgement of what we each endure
and what we each provide. </P>
<P>In the meanwhile, what else is going on in your life that we might engage you
in since we have the opportunity. Anybody have anything they want to discuss or
bring to our attention? </P><B>
<P>Reneau:</B> I've been attempting to work on my morning meditations more
regularly. I hope that helps. Since I don't have to jump up and get dressed and
go out to a job here lately, why I figured it was a good time to spend doing
that.</P><B>
<P>MERIUM:</B> Ah, yes. The benefits of leisure time! Not only leisure time, but
time you can call your own. The demands of such a life on such a planet often
command more of you than there is to go around, and so just as when in the
school, art and music are often the first to go, in order to cover the basics of
reading, writing and arithmetic, in the higher life, worship prayer and
meditation are often the first to go in the demands of paying rent, buying
groceries, and other obligations. </P>
<P>The interesting thing is, once you have developed a taste for prayer and
worship, it becomes not a luxury but a necessity since, from that perspective,
everything else falls in place more readily and nothing satisfies as fully.
Indeed there will come a time in your career when all you will want to do is
worship, and you will have to be sent out to get involved in life as if to say,
"Go out and play!" but we have not yet reached that point. So yes, of course,
your efforts will make a difference. </P>
<P>And I invite all of you to reinforce yourselves through the superhuman
ministry of those angels who will strengthen you in your path and in your
resolve and in your efforts, as Andromadeus said, so that you do not become
weary and burn out and have to be transferred to another field of service before
you feel you have done all you can do where you are. </P>
<P>I am going to cut it short today, kids. I know it is Super Bowl Sunday and
other interests prevail. But it is a joy for me to engage with you to the extent
we had available today and I look forward to our next gathering. Bye-bye!</P><B>
<P>Group:</B> Bye, Merium! Thank you!</P>
