I, my team and myself, look over the situation on the planet Urantia, we are
slowly seeing evidence of maturity in individuals. The grinding of the COVID
pandemic has had many results. Some of them most unfortunate, but many of them
very fortunate for the long-term duration of humanity on this planet—particularly
so for your civilization. The forces that bring about discernment (sometimes it
is forced of necessity, of tragedy, and calamity) has begun to show its
evidence. The pandemic in many ways is much like a hot skillet where you are
rendering the fat out of a meat in that, with the increased heat, much more of
the fat of your society and your culture is being rendered out. This may seem
as though it is a gross and grisly perspective of what is happening, but you
must realize that this is a gross and disgusting process of diminishing the
numbers of humans on your planet. We again say that none of this was intended,
designed, or put in place by any of the Creators or Life Carrier staff of
Nebadon. This is the consequence of the development of pathogens which do great
harm to your population. What is happening is that you, as a culture (as many
cultures) are being separated from the gross privileges of great wealth,
status, and position. And even that extends to some of the lowest levels of
your societies where those who see themselves as distinct and separate from
other people are being leveled to the same plane of death due to this COVID
virus. </span></p>

beginning of the 5<sup>th</sup> century approximating the early stages of the
Days of Light and Life—of planetary settlement—we would have to assign this
current state at the 50<sup>th</sup> year which means that 10 times the
progress has to be made to achieve the goal of the fifth century. We are
fortunate there are many devout individuals from the Teaching Mission,
Magisterial Mission, and The Urantia Book communities who are devoted to Christ
Michael, Nebadonia, and to the enlightenment of your planet. You have much
progress to make concerning the fellowship between these groups though we
admire the progress and friendliness that you extend to each other. This is not
a matter of isolation, it is not a matter of us against them, it is simply that
you are now doing the best you can with the populations you work with—those
people in the general population of the world who are tuned to your type of
work. And we give great thanks for these three groups. </span></p>

have peeled off some of your roof so that the interior of your house is exposed
to rain and the elements and that the tarp—the temporary cover you put up
there—is only going to last so long. So, you call up a roofer and you ask this
person to come over and give you an estimate for the repair of the damage. They
say: “It’ll be this amount of money, and we require that you pay one-third of
this total to me now as an agreement between ourselves that you will complete
the payments after we finish the work.” The days go by, the weeks go by, the
tarp is tattered and torn, you’ve had to replace it, and the roofer has not
shown up. So, you call the roofer and say, “When will you be here with the
materials? Show me what you have done so far.” And so, we are much like that as
well. The planetary management of this planet, in co-creative union with you
now, requires you to show us what you’ve done with your personal life, with
your community life, with your efforts to assist us to re-roof this house you

as well are short of experience. You see, we came into existence much as
chickens do. That is a rough parallel I suppose, but there is just so much read-only
memory that we bring with us. It is <i>huge</i> compared to your own, but,
nonetheless, it is limited. So, we hone that with experience working with
mortals. We begin by teaching new graduates into the morontial realm and, as we
grow in experience there, some of us are sent to planets with mortals and begin
teaching there—sometimes in material form but more often not. Always as
invisible individuals, though rarely there are those that incarnate as a person
of the realm. That’s why we are asking you to show us your experience—to share
that with us. What have you done? This is not a pass-fail test at all. It is
simply an accounting similar to Jesus’ parable of the master who was going out
of country and gave some of his servants some of his wealth and asked them to
take care of it while he was gone. You know this parable very well. One of them
did nothing with it but hid it in the ground. So too, in this case, we have

has to do with guardian seraphim. I would ask you to speak to us about
them—what they do and what we can do to assist them in their endeavors.</span></p>

recommend you find as much information from <i>The Urantia Book</i> as you can
on this subject as that is fairly well explained to you. For those of you who
are what we would call advanced mortals of enlightenment, your guardian is a
personal guardian. Their work is to assist you in being successful in your
transition from mortality to becoming a morontial being, and then on through
the spiritual realm and on to Paradise. For the personal seraphim, this is the
means by which they can enter into the embrace of the Creator—the Mother
Spirit—in Paradise (The Infinite Spirit). You have a particular relationship
with your personalized seraphim. You are held to a much higher standard for
your conduct, for your thoughts, for your words, and for your actions simply
because it is known that it becomes easier for you to hold to a higher standard
through your own ways of living, thinking, and speaking. You have, with a
personalized seraphim, passed beyond the tasks of curbing your antisocial,
immoral, and unethical behavior— those detriments that you received as a child and
[outgrew]. And of course, the same goes for your egoism which is reflected in
narcissism, arrogance, and so on. As an individual who is in a co-creative
relationship with their guardian, that co-creative relationship simply means
that you have a conscious, deliberate, and intentional relationship with your guardian
to achieve the best spiritual growth and maturity during your mortal years that
remain. In this status you have become a teacher—maybe not an accredited public
education teacher, but in our minds, you are accredited to now transfer the
wisdom that you have gained onto the minds and hearts of other individuals. You
have become an extension of Jesus in your world. You are the Teacher with a
capital T. You are [doing] as Jesus said, “Follow me.” And as you’ve seen in
various statues, He is there standing with his arm outstretched toward the
future when he says “follow me.” This is your work. The personalized guardian
ensures that the mortal is then exposed to new challenges—challenges that are
intended to heal, correct, and transform the wounds and injuries of life and
living as a mortal on Urantia into those wonderful talents of wisdom that you
would glean and gain from that experience. When you are in the embrace of your
guardian and you have traversed so many trials, tribulations, and challenges,
then you are soon approaching the stage of fusion as a mortal. </span></p>

is not necessary for the guardian to assist you through fusion. That is a
discussion that the planetary Thought Adjuster and your personal Thought
Adjuster would make a decision about. You see, guardian seraphim take their
work very seriously whether they have only one charge (personalized seraphim)
or one who has charge of a group of mortals. The work to them is highly serious
because it, in fact, holds the destiny of their own course of growth and
maturity. Thank you.</span></p>

My first of three questions in this round is: Next year, my government will
explore public consultation on implementing a legalized marijuana industry.
This is believed to be vital to our economic diversification and survival. <br>
And since I wish to engage in the national discussion, I am seeking your views
on creating such a national marijuana industry.</span></p>

applicable to marijuana as it is [to] gun control. For there is a tremendous
ignorance about the use of either. Children, adults, and each new generation are
left in ignorance to discover the facts about those two substances—whether it’s
marijuana or firearms. Both can be dangerous to one’s use. In the case of
marijuana, there must be…. Let me speak generally to the subjects of harmful
and deleterious substances and devices. When, in the case of the United States,
there was a passage of the Bill of Rights (which became the first ten
amendments of your constitution) that the ownership and use of firearms was granted
so that people could own them without being arrested for ownership of firearms.
In the current conditions it’s the same for marijuana, yet <i>you</i> know, and
I want to remind <i>all</i> of you that, with the granting of freedoms there is
also the obligation of responsibilities that must be attended to. Now, in the
case of firearms and marijuana use, your governments are hazardously deficient
in preparing individuals for ownership and use of either one. If you were ever
in the military (not meaning you personally Walt, but you as a generalized
person) and you were in charge of firearms and of a firing range, you would
know well the drill of the use and conduct of firearms whether they are loaded
or unloaded. This is a skill; this is a responsibility for being a soldier to
carry a firearm with live rounds. This training is not extended to citizens.
This is where your governments are grossly and immorally deficient. I speak
strongly about that because it is irrational to grant such freedoms without the
requirement of attendant responsibilities. This is a discussion that has never
been made in America. This is a most reprehensible situation that must be
corrected. We of the spirit realm on Urantia have nothing against gun
ownership. It is neither a vile thing nor a wonderful thing. It is one of those
responsibilities that simply needs to be attended to, and the best way to do
that is through diligent, periodic training and passage of tests that show the
person understands those rules. Then in times later, if a person were to use a
firearm to harm someone, then they would knowingly understand the consequences
of their actions which would make their situation even more difficult in the
courts. However, such is not the case in the courts of any democracy, and this
is a situation that will eventually be corrected although, of course, you and I
know—we know—that many tens of thousands of people will die by the use of
firearms before that happens. </span></p>

You spoke and asked about spiritual practices. There is no shortcut for <i>you</i>
and there’s no shortcut for anyone else. This is a matter of personal
discernment training where you expose yourself to many spiritual practices. The
goal of doing so is to determine their integrity. Is the integrity of this
spiritual practice consistent with the life and teachings of Jesus? Are they
consistent with the highest morality and ethics on your planet? Are they
consistent with the best outcomes for an individual’s life on this planet? Do
they make sense? Do they have a set of values that are integrated? Can you
determine right and wrong from these values? First of all, do they <i>state</i>
their values? Don’t assume that by reading the material you will know what
those values are. We have found that many belief systems, systems of logic, [and
systems] of morality and ethics do not have a consistent, integrated set of
values to underwrite their moral and ethical decisions. They are simply not
existent. </span></p>

themselves, reinjure themselves again and again with the same traumas that they

I have three topics. Two of them are related ideas that I thought I might run
by you. The main idea is: Often we, as a species, know certain things about
health and medicine and yet, not everyone knows everything of course. Often it
seems to me that less effective remedies are [often] being employed when
someone has one of their many health problems. I was thinking it would maybe be
good to have a website that linked to various health remedies that are known
all over the internet (whether or not they are well known is another question)
and which ones are the most effective is a question that people need to
address. So, I was thinking that having a central website—I guess it might be a
bit like the family wisdom website—it would be a health wisdom website which
may either link to or itself download/upload various remedies so that they
might become better known. Does that sound like a good thing to have?</span></p>

to do it myself, but I thought I would put it out there anyway. And the other was
idea was related to that is that there might be a rating system and comments
that people could make on these things so if someone tries a remedy and they
say “Hey, that works well” they could give it 5 stars or if it doesn’t work
well they could give it less and they could make comments on why or how it was
effective to them. Does that sound like a good thing? I think that way the
things that everybody was giving 5 stars to would become known as the best way
to treat something.</span></p>

empire? Is this a means by which they can be of greater service, and if so,
what would those services be? How is this relevant to the group? Individual
comradery is wonderful. Individual fellowship is wonderful. The fellowship
between groups then becomes something to look askance at. The intentions for same
must be very clear for both groups or all groups involved, and that it is
understood what this is all about. If you want to get together once a year and
have a picnic together at some wonderful park in your nations, then go ahead
and do so, but as an ongoing weekly, biweekly, or bimonthly process it must
address itself to the questions that are pertinent to such an activity. Is this
just to get together to drink coffee and play cards, or is it [for] something
else. You can be as effective as an individual praying in a small group as you
could in a large group. Sometimes even more effective. It is not that we are
against it—we are not, but we have learned to be cautious concerning the
motives of individuals who recommend actions involving other groups. Remember,
your work in the Teaching Mission is not political. It is not an either/or—us/them
situation. It is the work [you] do for Christ Michael and Nebadonia and in
service to your planet. How does that manifest through the association of
groups please? Thank you. </span></p>

Machiventa. Thank you again for being here. I’m pleased to be here as well. I
have 2 questions. The first may be brief, although I have to make a comment. I
actually had a question in mind about abortion, and I had to laugh when Walt
asked it as well. Although my question is also specific. People who are against
abortion are very concerned about trauma that may occur to the fetus
particularly because of their belief that the personality is already incarnated
into the fetus, say, in the first trimester. I am of the belief or thinking
(and I don’t know if I got this idea from The Urantia Book or from just my
personal thinking) that Christ Michael and Nebadonia would not allow that kind
of trauma or pain (specifically) to be felt by the fetus in case of a
therapeutic abortion. Is this true?</span></p>

how to rear a child in the very important first five years of life. I’ve read
in <i>The Urantia Book</i> that the Thought Adjuster usually does not enter
into the mind of a young mortal until the average age of around 5 years old.
Prior to this time, I’m going to assume that without the Adjuster that they are
under the influence of other spiritual entities, but mainly their own mortal
mind. I am wondering if you have any comments on how a parent might maximize
the growth of a young mortal in preparation for the Thought Adjuster.</span></p>

and it’s a pleasure to be in everyone’s company once again. As a student of
politics and an activist for many decades, it’s also been many decades since I
was in the educational system myself, but it occurred to me that there’s a lot
of wisdom in what you suggested about the responsibility of gun ownership and
better education as well as education for different types of drugs and what
not. I know here in Canada we sort of pride ourselves on having superior
training and registration requirements than our friends south of the border do.
I know what my son went through in order to qualify to go duck hunting or goose
hunting, for example, with his uncle who was a great mentor and a very responsible
person in that regard. It just occurred to me that the educational systems are absolutely
<i>key</i> in trying to educate our young people and help transform the
irresponsible use of firearms and the lack of consequences that most people
seem to understand. I was wondering if you have seen any good models worldwide
that could be pointed to, Machiventa, that we could help to promote within our
own respective governments and educational regulatory systems that might help
with the progress in this regard?</span></p>

spiritual being with responsibilities to fill your soul with those permanent
wisdoms that you can live by. The emphasis here in these lessons is to live by
