Opening
Hello my friends! I am glad to join with you sharing your experience, joining in your jocular vein from time to time, observing your progress as each of you advance in your respective endeavors.
Lesson
Yes, laboring in this world is a task that entails working with greater resistance as your general field of vision and experience. You are developing capacities as a result that will serve you well in your journeys on high, and no doubt in the eternal future when universes yet to be explored open before us all, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves too much. It is in this moment that we build all things.
We are working with you in each of your moments as you allow, advancing this state of love that characterizes the spirit realms. In your own experience you know how rugged these material worlds can be, and yet how inexorable is the gravity that draws you ever deeper into this confidence in the rule of our Father’s love and the role that your faith has in liberating this in the lives of your fellows.
Transmitting
This work that we do in what you have known to be the Teaching Mission that continues albeit in arenas that you have yet to recognize; nevertheless, this practice of transmitting the thought of spiritual beings through the voice of a human being is something that has served our purpose well, and it will continue because it is indigenous to the very nature of the kingdom of God. It is a dimension of experience that the Master elaborated and revealed so well in his life upon your realm as a mortal.
The cosmic dimension of this gospel is one that has only recently become an area of general exploration, and while you find yourselves wondering and perhaps evaluating the relative merits of such communications as they appear from various quarters, you can be assured that what this shows is the enhanced circuitry of which we have spoken at great length.
Communion
In your own sessions of stillness you can register this qualitative difference in your contact and communion with our Source and Center. It is this latter dimension of your life, this practice of being present with our Father even as he, as you know by faith, is present within you, working actively without ceasing on behalf of your advancing status in our family. It is this well of communion that we would seek to enrich by the means of this form of communication. It is by its very nature something that requires you to listen, and to listen not to the sounds around you but those emanating deep within you. For as you can well imagine, our objective is to foster greater communication with your indwelling Adjusters, this spirit fragment given to each of you as a unique offering to guide you into the ways of the universe at large.
This “great challenge” as it is referenced in your text of so-called modern man to achieve greater communication with the Thought Adjusters is one that still awaits the discovery at large throughout the populations of this world. You are enjoined in this work with us wherever and whenever you have occasion to encourage the same in your fellows.
The role of communication and the relationship of communication to communion are very close. You in this realm, being of a material nature, tend to approach communion from the material artifacts about such states of being. You initially grow up in a cultural milieu where, if you are fortunate, there will be references to such states, and you will be exposed to these however cultures may interpret such for your consideration, and oftentimes, children will react against such traditions of culture but only to discover the truth of which is spoken.
Your text also references religion as but an exalted humanism until you have discovered the reality of divinity living within you. Perhaps for many who attend to these sessions either directly or simply by reading the textual artifacts flowing from such sessions, approach communion through this phenomenon of transmitting. This is very indicative of the material being, and as you also may remember from your text, the tendency of mortal man to approach the study of cosmology from the periphery of creation. There is an inherent distortion involved in this, and yet, we encourage and welcome your exploration in any manner that you see fit. However, eventually we find that you will, when you truly arrive home in this state of communion, when you know it within your heart, the heart of your being, you thereby make it real in your experience, you can begin to practice the presence of God in and about your daily endeavors. Indeed, you become a semblance of this presence.
We have spoken of course repeatedly of your being the hands and the feet of Michael extending himself to his children inviting all to come into his embrace. If these words can encourage the same, then we freely offer them knowing there is a tendency to be distracted by the material phenomena associated with this practice of transmitting.
Communication
You will recall when you first began your experimentation in the context of the Teaching Mission, so often the questions would be directed toward trying to understand the (transmitting) phenomena itself. You have grown over the years, and we are happy to have witnessed your progress where more often now you are dwelling in the presence of our Father where there is no need for speech. There is only a need to listen within where each heart is touched in ways that are too deeply personal for speech. It is just such contact and communion that the Creators seek to share with all their creatures. So if you find yourselves distracted by the preoccupation with material evidence for or against this practice of transmitting, let me remind you that this is a characteristic condition of a material mind seeking to come into this place of communion where speech is unnecessary.
These mid-zones of approach to divinity are filled with many questions and periodically confusion that arises from a variety of sources all utilizing sincere channels of communication, and yet are all subject to inherent distortion of translation. Where we would have you be is in this place where the direct flashes of intelligence are received in your mind ere you have a chance to think about them. You behold the presence of this light and then only subsequently reflect upon the significance. These advancing states of communion we would foster because in truth all things that you seek, all things that you desire, everything that you need is found here. It is present already, and you are learning to draw this treasure forth from within this place.
All are welcome, all are encouraged, and you do well to cultivate tolerance for the inevitable confusions on a material level as to the accuracy and or the information that may be shared in any of these sessions. This is a part of simply being responsible, exercising your powers of discernment. As you deepen your exposure to this infinite depth, you will find that you are much more confident and sense from within the Source of all things that dwells in you, the resonance of truth and beauty, and its goodness whose effect upon you is undeniable, unmistakable; these are the fruits of genuine spiritual experience.
Stillness
There is much work ahead of us. Part of our work is exercising these circuits that allow for such communication. These are activated most effectively by simply dwelling in the presence of God in the practice of Stillness, being at home in Paradise even as you dwell upon this unsettled world passing through a turbulent phase of its own course in ascension.
As ever, seek the greater, the deeper, seek it first, anywhere and at all times, wherever possible. These lesser venues of communication that are in themselves a part of this communion, indeed this communion simply extending itself ever further, is translated most effectively in ways that you cannot appreciate at this time. Your own lives (are) wielding the influence of transformation in a world that has long hungered for the same.
As you ascend in your course through the Mansion Worlds, only then will you really understand and actually see with morontia vision that you have in part now, but you will be cultivating in its fullness in time. Savor these moments! How blessed you are to contemplate and consider these things and to know the truth of which I speak even while you cannot see it, and while you labor in this time of correction to cooperate with us, you add to our materialization through this effort, through these extensions of your own souls to welcome us that we are able to enjoin ourselves in your material endeavors.
Materialization
So as you consider prospects for eventual reunion, the restoration of centers of incarnational outreach, remember, this is transpiring literally while we speak. While these words may be subject to various distortions by virtue of the language we use, it is an expression of our willingness and desire to enjoin you as you are, where you are, without concern for the perfection that you seek within and that you will find in your career on high.
Friends, there is a tendency for idealists in every age, in every generation to grow weary and to perhaps despair of the tools with which you must work because you envision such a greater range of tools that you know are within your grasp. You extend yourselves to employ them, but remember to be faithful to your present position, the work of the realm in which you are now. In other words, as your text has well said, you are tadpoles, and be faithful to being such. Soon you shall be leaping in great bounds across the cosmos. So savor this time in this elemental pool, however murky it may be upon Urantia; it is nonetheless your point of departure in this eternal extension of the limitless possibilities latent within your souls.
Closing
I bid you good evening, and I look forward to your progress as you share your experience at our next gathering. Call upon me anytime. Whether you are conscious of my presence or not, being of assistance is my privilege.
Let us continue our conversations.
Students: Good night, and thank you!
