* Elyon (Jonathan TR): Greetings, this is Elyon. I am happy once again to<BR>
be among you to share in your energy and delight in our friendship.<BR>
<BR>
I have been aware of your pondering what it means to arrive at the time that<BR>
Michael spoke of, that the hour is now. You reflect upon how when he was on<BR>
your world that he put down his tools and walked away from his carpenter’s<BR>
bench and began his public ministry. It is natural to project oneself into<BR>
that situation and wonder whether that is likewise your destiny in his<BR>
bidding. I assure you that you will not suffer an upheaval in your daily<BR>
schedule by taking up the call to being about the Father’s business. This<BR>
assurance I offer by way of quoting our master when he said, “Be you in the<BR>
world but not of the world”.<BR>
<BR>
The time that has arrived is the time to solidly anchor yourself in the<BR>
spiritual reality of the heavenly administration and to make your decisions<BR>
and to negotiate your activities based on that higher perspective. Do not<BR>
merely satisfy yourselves in the clarity of a sound philosophy but inject<BR>
the cosmic perspective that you have acquired directly into your daily<BR>
events.<BR>
<BR>
You have read where Michael was often misunderstood when he approached many<BR>
of his decisions about which undertaking to pursue, that to others seemed<BR>
clear from an earthly orientation; yet his choice was baffling because he<BR>
chose to look at it from the Father’s perspective. This upset his earthly<BR>
family; this kept all his friends and apostles on their toes. He remained,<BR>
however, certain in his faith in the Father, and the result was the<BR>
transformation of Urantia and the inauguration of a new epoch.<BR>
<BR>
You may liken the visit of Michael to your world as the planting of a tree<BR>
in a field. His efforts stand tall and are recognized from afar. He is<BR>
great in stature and his reach shades and soothes many who come to sit<BR>
beneath him. You likewise who are not of this world are seeded upon this<BR>
planet, and you may aspire to the greatness of a tall tree, and we encourage<BR>
you ever to do so, for there is nothing limiting in the expression of<BR>
Supreme attainment except the maximum fulfillment of your potential. But we<BR>
are looking not to have a single tree in the field; we are looking to have a<BR>
blanket, a full covering, of vigorous growth of spiritual life on this<BR>
planet everywhere: in the valleys, up the mountains, along the streams.<BR>
Nowhere will there be a parched land, dead from life. By your very presence<BR>
in any situation, you are the connection for the influx of spirit energy.<BR>
<BR>
While others may function on a mental or physical level in regard to the<BR>
activities you are engaged in with them, nonetheless, deep in their souls is<BR>
the residence and recognition of that spiritual energy. Though it may lay<BR>
below the conscious level they will ascertain and respond to it. It is much<BR>
like the swelling of the seed before its emergence from the ground.<BR>
<BR>
I will add one more point to this perspective, and that is to “be not of<BR>
this world” does not mean to be antagonistic toward it. It more<BR>
appropriately ought to be viewed as a circle within a circle, that your<BR>
citizenship is on high, but that heavenly kingdom embraces your earthly<BR>
abode, and that you recognize your allegiance to the higher state, and that<BR>
each activity within your realm is based upon the greater context.<BR>
<BR>
Slowly your world is beginning to perceive its national orientations from a<BR>
global perspective. This will adjust the behavior of each country. In this<BR>
current transition you are witnessing the expressions of both the ideals of<BR>
goodness and the evils of selfishness in approaching this expanded<BR>
orientation. The time will arrive when the perspective will be, “in the<BR>
world but not of the world” but guided by the higher way, not merely the<BR>
vacuous absence of spiritual ideals, the opportunistic pursuit of selfish<BR>
gain. The altruism that will arise will be rooted in a reality based on<BR>
experience of each individual, and that is the presence of God in your<BR>
inter-association as human beings and all spirit creatures. It will not be<BR>
the conformity to a set of behavioral rules. Those rules, while helpful,<BR>
are only rules for the world, but the higher ideals will be from the higher<BR>
kingdom; they will be personally promoted by each one rather than adopted<BR>
upon yourself from without.<BR>
<BR>
This is the hour that has come. You have bravely stepped from the platform<BR>
onto the train and for much time have been loading your bags and preparing<BR>
for the journey. Now we are off; we are on the way. The kingdom of heaven<BR>
is descending upon Earth.<BR>
<BR>
Thank you for receiving me. I make way for the engagement of others with<BR>
you.<BR>
<BR>
* unidentified (Kathy): In the strife of our world today lies the<BR>
opportunity for great change. It may not appear as a grand announcement on<BR>
the television but more likely in the small actions between individuals as<BR>
they pursue their daily activities. As each one lives in light and truth the<BR>
surrounding culture will change to reflect the change in the individuals.<BR>
This is in motion at the present time.<BR>
<BR>
* Monjoronson (Jonathan): I open my arms to you, this is Monjoronson. We<BR>
embrace today. Love is upon us. Michael is among us, and we are all<BR>
surcharged with the desire to do the Father’s will to bring about peace upon<BR>
Urantia, to establish harmony, and to promote positive growth.<BR>
<BR>
I am here to salute you and in so doing encourage you, for you are to be<BR>
admired for your openness to all seekers. The progress to be made on<BR>
Urantia will be successfully employed by such acceptance. Conflicting<BR>
ideologies battle with one another when there is resistance, but the moment<BR>
there is sincere interest in understanding an alternate ideology, there<BR>
begins to be the reciprocal adjustment to accommodating oneself and one’s<BR>
perspective. I am here to bring this blending, to establish mutual<BR>
understanding. But mistake not, this blending will never become a<BR>
completely unified, undifferentiated one sameness. It will be the mixing in<BR>
of the variables of human perspective and a coordinated arrangement of such<BR>
ideologies, that each will function to promote avenues of human endeavors<BR>
that these perspectives are best suited to foster.<BR>
<BR>
Some orientations are better suited in the rise and development of material<BR>
prosperity and of the creature comforts which will assist living as a Light<BR>
and Life world, and others will promote the generation and coordination and<BR>
preservation of knowledge, information which will assist in advancing your<BR>
sciences and your medicine. While you look with peace in your heart for a<BR>
world that no longer wars among itself, there are those orientations that<BR>
can be your guardian and protector to safeguard those who do promote peace<BR>
to provide an arena wherein harmony may be attained without the threat of a<BR>
warring external source. We must learn to coordinate all these factions<BR>
together just as a well made watch works beautifully composed of differing<BR>
elements.<BR>
<BR>
Some have questioned my appearance on your world, for the mission you have<BR>
come to be engaged in is Michael’s mission. You may liken me to the<BR>
pendulum of a watch and Michael to the spring; he has wound up and provided<BR>
the energy. I create the oscillations which turn the gears. You, my<BR>
fellows, are the gears that are working the hands that make this world<BR>
advance in time and progress toward Light and Life.<BR>
<BR>
* Elyon: This is Elyon returning. I am aware that opportunities have not<BR>
been offered to you to ask questions, should you have them within your<BR>
hearts. I entreat you to make them known at this time.<BR>
<BR>
Tom: Monjoronson recently mentioned that Urantia will never become a planet<BR>
of a blended race with one language. Since our text mentions that is<BR>
something that is going to happen, I’m wondering is that because of Michael<BR>
coming here and the normal chain of events is now switched around? Or does<BR>
it have to do with a decimation? Could you speak to that?<BR>
<BR>
* Elyon: The evolutionary progression of a normal planet brings about a<BR>
blended race and a planetary language much sooner in the development of<BR>
civilization than has been witnessed on your world. It happens rather early<BR>
on wherein cultures are young, and cultural pride, while juvenile in its<BR>
early stage, is not as entrenched, not as strongly possessed as is witnessed<BR>
in the passing millennia. Urantia will encounter by the simple movement of<BR>
people around the world blending, but there will ever recur the rising up of<BR>
racial heritage and the pride derived therefrom. Much effort will be made<BR>
toward the preservation of diversity. This we do not perceive to be<BR>
contrary to the goal of a blended human race.<BR>
<BR>
I will return you to my lesson of the lone tree in the field or the blanket<BR>
of shrubbery all across the field. This holds true with your language. The<BR>
commonly shared form of communication of your centuries ahead will<BR>
accommodate the expressive mannerisms of your current languages and will<BR>
reflect the orientation of the cultures that fostered those languages. This<BR>
will be a different form of a “one language” than a language developed as it<BR>
would have in your ancient past. A single language in the early stages of<BR>
planetary unfoldment is established as humankind even as yet has not formed<BR>
a written word. But now you have the ability to preserve all the verbal<BR>
expressions of your many cultures, and by this very circumstance will your<BR>
one language be multiplex of languages.<BR>
<BR>
It will entail some intermixing, but it will also be crafted with creative<BR>
wording that will of necessity be developed to express higher forms of human<BR>
thinking, those conceptual visions which transcend the world of objects,<BR>
that will entail the expression of the awareness of not only relationships<BR>
side to side but impingements, that is, spiritual relationships from above<BR>
and below. There will be a similarity to the normal development of a world<BR>
untouched by rebellion and turmoil, but it will be unique as well in that<BR>
you will come full circle in a late stage of human advancement, and this<BR>
will reflect in apparent dissimilarity.<BR>
<BR>
I hope this addresses your issue.<BR>
<BR>
Evelyn: I don’t have a question exactly, but I’m thinking about a discussion<BR>
I had this week on the concept of “switchwords”, words that tie between the<BR>
conscious and unconscious mind and using them as a technique to change<BR>
habitual behavior, or open yourself to new ideas. I see a similarity with<BR>
being aware of being a cosmic citizen. You wouldn’t necessarily have to<BR>
think of it consciously, it would just come up. So your behaviors, with<BR>
your sincere interest, are open to new behavior patterns.<BR>
<BR>
* Elyon: This structure you speak of is a valuable tool, and our recent<BR>
proclamation that the hour has come falls into this category of effect upon<BR>
the human personality.<BR>
<BR>
Some things within your life are a smooth slide in advancement, and other<BR>
things come by way of the immediate switching or toggling, the turning of<BR>
“off” to “on” or “on” to “off”. Your rehabilitation program for alcoholics<BR>
fosters the immediate turning of “on” to “off” rather than a gradual slide<BR>
to abstinence. Other activities do not appear to have such clear<BR>
distinctions. May I use an example?<BR>
<BR>
You decide to take a stroll, so you leave your house, take your walk, and<BR>
return, and enter again into the door and be about the work within your<BR>
abode. The door is the switch, but when you enter have you stopped walking?<BR>
When did the walk begin and end? It is in the perspective of the activity<BR>
being undertaken. Therein lies the power of the word. I encourage you to<BR>
use such expressions. They apply great leverage. With reflection you will<BR>
note that many of the teachers have applied similar technique to encourage<BR>
the change of behavior and orientation in our students.<BR>
<BR>
I will draw close to our assembly today and I leave you with one last<BR>
thought. Make effort this week to remind yourself that you are an emerging<BR>
morontia being dwelling in the garments of a mortal body. Remind yourself<BR>
of your true placement. Farewell.<BR>
