Session
Opening
Elyon (Jonathan TR): Greetings, my dear friends, this is Elyon. I have such joy in my being and in my being with you. It is breathtaking to behold your love and to witness your awareness. This world benefits from personalities like yourselves who, while reaching for greater understanding and acknowledging truth yet beyond your grasp, are keenly attentive to mastering what is known, what is believed, what is faith-grasped.
Lesson
Essence, Expression
You know of the effect of the lack of use of muscles, the term "atrophy", and this is true of your spiritual body, and it is a delight to share in your exercise. You are so readily willing to work out your new understanding, and when you have learned a new routine that has brought you greater fitness, you are thrilled and so eager to share. I have spoken of joy in the past and have endeavored to express that it is a transcendent feeling which is manifest through avenues of expression which can range from excitement and laughter to a profound and calm peace. It is a source point for much of your more overt expressions.
Peace and love are likewise source points. Those who mingle with you witness the manifold expressions, and they enjoy the fellowship and friendship. Those expressions vary, but the deeper state of being of you and your fellows is aware of those transcendent feelings and states, joy and peace and love. This is a soul recognition, and you communicate through mind and body and emotions the colors and varieties of those deeper attainments. I pledge my services to you and for many years have expressed through this form of communication many subjects, many thought orientations.
Each effort is really much like the expression of laughter or calm peace, an outward expression of a deeper state of joy. In my case that deeper state is divine connection. We draw together and respect one another because of the common recognition of the holy One. There is no greater satisfaction to the human heart than an experience of God. Even the descriptions, the explanations, any other indications of God pale in comparison to the profound and direct interface. While much is astir on your planet, the real solution through all the conflicts and the real energy toward advancement will be from your anchor in the connection with the Divine Presence, for this deeper inner state will then manifest in multiple ways according to need. The more that we can encourage the many of you, the more sure the progress. While you hear of changes upon your world, discern the externality of those proclamations and the internality of such teachings.
To prune a tree changes its appearance and it does foster its development, but it is the life within the limbs that creates the growth. It may grow shapelessly; it may grow in beautiful form by your external manipulations, but it lives from within first. All your actions come from within, and all that happens about you from outside is only shaping. Be ever ready to be assisted and guided, but primarily and foremost be steadfast in that internal link to the perfect one, to the omniscient and all-loving God. There is your guidance whereby you will understand and truly react wholesomely to events that transpire about you. I search for analogy and fail to discern one appropriate.
Perhaps the best succinct expression is that spiritual essences underlie all expressions, and as you grow in your familiarity of your essences, your expressions naturally conform and reveal these underlying states of being. You can work with your expressions to encourage your advancing in the experience of the essences and their attainment. This is helpful to you as an individual, but help and service to the world, your world or the whole world, is most effective when you move forth from those essences into your expressions. This is the firm footing of a spiritual stance. Such orientation eliminates prejudices and separations and judgments and fear, for essences are one in quality, while expressions are merely multiplicitous variations of that one quality, an array of quantified revelation.
Even I fall into that category in our relationship with you. I am one of that array as are you, as are all our fellows. You spoke of a poem today, the one light. This is a succinct description of that spiritual reality within each, the same spiritual reality which manifests all. I could speak for ages in an attempt to describe this transcendent oneness, connection, state of being, creator paired with creature child, but you know that you have tasted of that unity. Monjoronson spoke of a platform; that is the platform. You have heard of base camps; that is the base camp. I have spoken of stillness; that is your restart; there is where you regroup, draw back in to the essences to re-balance that you may express more firmly and surely. There is where the peace which passes all understanding is had. That is the heavenly joy; that is the Fatherly love.
Magisterial Mission
Monjoronson: This is Monjoronson. I too integrate with you and your consciousness. Our mutual dedication to the betterment of your world is my reason to be in contact with any one of you. While I am of origin of Paradise, and it is of yet your destiny, together we accomplish the tasks of the day. I have much upon my plate; my plate is the service platter, and I am looking about this world for those to whom I may ladle off some of what is on my plate for others to take and to share. We will spread our message, and we will feed this hungry planet. While I am here we will do one more thing than just feed our fellows, noble as that is.
We will redesign the kitchen; we will upgrade the appliances; we will scrub the corners, for when Urantia is remodeled the banquet will be spectacular. Take my servings, take the servings of my staff. Partake and pass them on. This is my communion that I leave with you. Yes, you may wonder, we will have to go through the cupboards and discard the moldy bread, to dispose of the sour milk. But we aren't going to focus upon those items other than as a secondary adjustment to the primary purpose of pure, fresh, and wholesome items to be placed in those cupboards. I encourage you all to focus positively. I spoke of climbing our mountain. Look to the peak with anticipation. The heights are breathtaking rather than disorienting. The climb will be strenuous, but it will be invigorating. Likewise the remodel will take effort, will be dusty, will be tiring, but the result will be soul satisfying. I welcome your dedication. I know of your devotion to Him from whom we all come. That is all the credentials you need to be on my team.
Kirk: . ..what an opportunity. (inaudible)
Monjoronson: Thank you for your observation. It is true. We will elevate this world and in doing so make it possible for many of the lessons of the correction spheres of mansonia to occur here, but do not wait, for you can acquire that enlightenment of any of those levels on your own in partnership with God. The opening of our circuits on this planet has begun some of that socialization you speak of, a socialization new to many, an interface with beings largely unfamiliar to the orders of life currently inhabiting this planet. It is pioneering; throughout time adventurous souls have done so. The hour has arrived on Urantia for multitudes to do so. Fear is our resistance; faith is our current, and love is the voltage. Though I am infrequently interested in humor, it will be electrifying. All Urantia will light up in a way never before witnessed.
Closing
Michael: I am Michael, greetings. Enter the boat, sit with me. We will row out from the shore a ways and leave behind our cares and quietly fellowship. Our thoughts and concerns are on the shore, our tasks our plans. The water's calm. The air is clear. Here we are, us, that's all, in peace, with love. I bless you.
