Session 1

• Of Handcuffs and Leg Irons

Lesson

Teacher Contact

Machiventa: “This is Machiventa Melchizedek. It may seem ironic that just recently your Teachers had much to say about keeping lessons short and to the point. Whilst I agree with them entirely for this to have become the rule in the work that you all do, prepare yourself now for this to become a lengthy heart to heart discussion. If, after you push the button on your recorder to stop it from spinning you have acquired a kernel of understanding, our discussion will not have been in vain. And so, let us now begin.

“There are a number of universal circumstances, which you must come to understand better than you do at present. One of these circumstances is the fact that for thousands of years your planet has been in spiritual handcuffs and leg irons. For millennia you were restricted, but then around the 1980s these restrictions were eased somewhat, and from this point in time your world, and some of you as individuals, were granted contact, more so than was formerly the case. I explain it in this fashion: Love is what makes the world go round.

“Well might you choose to smile a half-hearted smile, but a long-established and intense working relationship with ABC-22 and Primary Midwayer Andrea brings more than a casual knowing in my Melchizedek handbook. It equates to love. And this, my dear friend, was precisely the way it stood after all those centuries with the world traveler, Ionah and your Midwayer friends who guided the Andite. You deserved to hear of the good work of your friends, and Ionah deserved recognition of his bravery to lead his people to the Americas.

“Such exercises strengthen bonds between friends when neither time nor space is of any consequence so far as cosmic consciousness is concerned. A bonus for all others (11:11 subscribers) was the revelation that the production of Clovis spear points was imported into the Americas as a consequence of Ionah’s arrival. Also, that the Mesoamerican ceramics were always directly related to that produced in Japan, Asia and the Middle East of that time, and that New World cotton had been changed by the imported Old World cotton strain.

“Knowing the name and the voice of one’s celestial Teacher does not bring about such detailed communication. One needs to appreciate and be expectant of the humor of ABC-22. One needs to be admiring of the unconditional love and forgiveness of Primary Midwayer Andrea. One needs to be in awe of the courage and tenacity of the Andite leader Ionah. Such is not mere sympathy, no, such is love, and it loosens the spiritual handcuffs and leg irons of this isolated world and allows one’s reach into the galaxy and beyond.

“This receiver is fatigued. We will return and discuss the bond with Dante Alighieri and his Midwayer Secretary.”

Session 2

• Some Dwell in the Cosmos

Lesson

Dante

Machiventa: “The matter of Ionah, ABC-22, Andrea and yourself was a permitted revelation of a kind. Firstly for his courage, ingenuity, and organizational ability, the forgotten hero, master sailor, deserved to become known on his native planet. The Midwayers, surely, earned their fame for their centuries-long dedication with the offspring of the Andites, the Red Man and others. Your inclusion was allowed only for your being the 11:11 Emergency Platoon’s mouth piece, and making known interesting archaeological facts.

“The Dante Alighieri experience was an entirely different matter. Your frantic search for a recipient of the gift of enlightenment – the wonderful yet at times frightening spontaneous cosmic consciousness experience – finally had you reassess the works and history of Dante. Fortunately, his ‘secretary’ of many years, Beatrice, was recognized by you as ABC-3, Bzutu’s older sister. And no, the discovery meant little in itself, rather, the publication of the name “Be-ah-tri-ce” – and when turned ‘inside out’, Ah Be Ce Tri, or ABC-3 – was the event.

“During the 700 years since Dante’s composing of the Divine Comedy, others did conclude that perhaps the poet was assisted by ‘angelic’ tour guides, but none were brazen enough to make known that she was a Midwayer of extraordinary skill and dedication. From the moment it became clear that you would identify our beloved Beatrice the centuries-old rules of isolation, the spiritual shackles, were relaxed. Dante acknowledged your appreciation for his labors, Beatrice at last enjoyed human recognition for such awesome efforts.

“At this point, this is the reality I wish you to comprehend, to fully grasp, about dispensations that regularly take millennia to come about and the easing of hard and fast rules when an act of love demands that standard procedure be set aside for a reason, for a cause, for a time, for progress, and for love. Yet, even an easing of the rules can be standard procedure. Your attentive Midwayer Helpers are greatly more human than you might envisage, and your dear friend ABC-3 truly deserved the recognition after a lengthy 700 years of obscurity.

“See it now in your mind’s eye: There are those who from childhood routinely witness countless circumstances others might mentally record as miracles. There are those in fear who would be disallowed such events as it would be disconcerting to them. The former might well shrug them off as another one of ‘those things’ simply being a part of their spirituality. The latter, if confronted, might well conclude there to be a temporary aberration dealing with their mental hygiene, more likely that of another, but the universe makes no mistakes.

“Spirituality or religion – hard to define and greatly personal. Some of you dwell in the cosmos, others in the book. I am Machiventa.”

Session 3

• Personality and Mental Illness

Lesson

Machiventa: “Some of you dwell in the cosmos, some of you dwell in the book, and still on your planet, the majority are hardly spiritual, just vaguely religious, and so they dwell in their heads – concerned about daily living with hardly a thought about spirituality or religion. Andres D. lived in his head for most of his life, a day-in-day-out coping with his mental illness. Only as he started thinking about having wasted the greater part of his life, and what his future would bring, did he inquire about his state of mind in the hereafter.

“A short discussion with Winston Churchill became the logical move, because like the Argentinian, the statesman suffered from bi-polar disorder. As well, he knew the Nation-life Midwayers who advised him during his catnaps, and with whom he later stayed in touch. However, what made this communication possible was the great need for the Argentinian to know that even a severe debilitating disorder cannot persist in the hereafter. For you it was simply your friendship with the man, and a wish to solve his dilemma that brought answers.

“As a human it is essential that you live in your head during your formative and early adult years to ‘answer to’ this world’s demands with pride and success. Luck, drive and environment may determine if, and to what extend, you will dwell in, and learn the lessons of the book – the Bible, Koran, or the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, it matters not which of many – whilst intent, service and sincerity will determine to what degree you will dwell in the cosmos and to what extent it will welcome you. Still, be equally at home in all three environments.

In the mind of the Creator Father all seeming chaos that can presently be surveyed is an already-completed, perfect, multi-dimensional puzzle of His making – his production of the timely created ‘pieces’ that bring about what is meant to be in each moment, until the absolute fullness of time. In that moment all will become aware of all others who belong to one’s Celestial Grouping. For now one may only seem to vaguely belong to many groups, but such is ‘Progress’ that one always chooses to find profitable answers to the unknown.

“Be clear in your teaching, and entirely unconcerned about how it is interpreted. Remember you are a child of God, a cosmic citizen, not limited by restrictions, but encouraged by needs, by concerns, and by love, and in your ways you will place many at the starting gates to spiritual living where they shall run their own race. Be a healer. May you reside in your heart, live in the book, and dwell in the cosmos as you learn from your Teachers. I am Machiventa.”
