Session

Lesson

I am Machiventa. Good evening. I would like to address our fellowship, for there are many questions floating around due to the various happenings and proposals of late. As a first step, I would ask you to collect yourself, center within, and ask yourself, "What is the reality of my purpose?" For there are varied interpretations about what should or should not occur collectively, but first and foremost it is your individual responsibility to understand what you feel is being asked of you by your Indwelling Spirit. This step should come before you engage in activities related to your daily efforts, your spiritual growth, your individual and personal attainments, as well as your collective desires to participate and contribute as part of a group.

My utmost desire is to manifest the will of Michael for our world, for I am his agent and I trust implicitly and explicitly that his will is the will of our Father/Mother/Son in Paradise. How should we manifest our activities for this planet? This is the underlying and overriding question we face as we take steps to produce avenues of influence and activity. "What is your goal?" should be a question that you must discern and revisit regularly as you make efforts to engage in various activities. What do you want to achieve?

Any ideas that you might be in competition with one another for our attention and participation would be misled and errant, for we are engaging all willing parties who seek to be in contact, who seek to be of service, who seek to be influenced by our Creator Parents and to make truth, beauty and goodness manifest. It is important to focus on what you want to accomplish and not to become rivals. Too many times in the history of our world there have been instances where groupings discerned that they had a special calling, discerned that they were more right than others, and manifested activities not simply to glorify the realization and recognition of our Creator, but sought to challenge or defeat or appear superior. It is also not unusual for there to be efforts to hurry the process along. We are not engaging in a rush job toward our end goals.

Recognize what it is you are attempting to do. This is not an organizational effort to produce unity among groups. Your leading has specifically focused on developing connections between individuals. Calling it an association was purposeful because you have purposed to draw into alignment with personalities who are attracted to the ideals of building unity without uniformity and honestly, at the very basic level, this is something that occurs between individuals. Associations of associations and organizations seldom are successful without the buy in from the individuals within those collectives.

Thus, you have purposed in your inspirations with our Creator to manifest avenues of expression that allow for the uniqueness of the individual while having a unity of intention, a unity of purpose – light and life. Thus, if you begin to question your purpose, it is simply a step back to recognize the vision of being united in the intention to do good to one another, to grow deeper in your connection to our Father within you, to manifest avenues of expression that stem from that relationship within that would glorify the ideals of truth, beauty and goodness, and to build a level of camaraderie and cooperation in this endeavor that gives a sense of family, friendship, collective identity as children of our Father, and to expand the borders of this vision as each are inspired to participate. The lack of specificity, even while holding core values, allows for the organic growth of ministerial functions from a grassroots level where those who are inspired can create within the framework of your purpose and mission statement.

What you might fear about these new efforts to coordinate and build organizational function has less to do with the proposals and decisions being made and more to do with how you receive it as a sort of pressure to participate or identify with, for I know you recall the lessons encouraging cross fertilization and cooperation as you discover and recognize individuals and groups who might share some common function. But equally the emphasis is on staying true to your purposes. So to the degree that you recognize differences in approach and outlook, you can consider whether it is a fit with your development of activities within the purview of the mission you perceive. Again these decisions you must make for there are many avenues of expression possible.

What we will not do is make statements for or against one group or another or ultimatums that would apply pressure outside of your personal spiritual connections. As in all efforts, by the fruits you shall know them.

Closing

In conclusion, for I know you are tiring, stay focused. Listen within. Invite participation of individuals and follow your guidance. You will know what is worthwhile to spend your time on. Your questioning will diminish as you keep that central focus and allow the Divine Spark to help shape the ideas and build common direction for your pursuit.
