2024-03-18-Simply Dedication to a Process

Session

Lesson

Machiventa: My friends, this stalwart band of followers who have presented themselves as available for all of these many years, we thank you for your dedication to being a vehicle of communication and conversation back and forth, such that the manifestation of meanings and values has occurred, allowing the message of Michael to expand to various persons, near and far, both known and unknown to you. You have been a point of light, participating in the plans for correction, bringing many souls, not only to the messages that our teaching corps has provided, but to the Father himself, allowing them the opportunity to recognize the eternal plan. Despite your modesty and your continuing day by day to move forward in your daily existence through work, through play, raising families and interacting within your environment, you have also been a player in this evolving outreach. So when you ask about ministry and sharing the message for others to allow them to engage with the values, understand on multiple levels you have been doing this for decades.

I am Machiventa Melchizedek. Thank you for having me. Thank you for your conversation and questions this evening. It is important to realize that although you may see yourselves as living simple lives and often doing daily activities that sometimes seem mundane, that you have been able to both "fish the nets" and to be of service to the higher creation at the same time and this did not have to be a grandiose large scale implementation of time and money and resources and visibility, but simply a dedication to a process, a message, knowing that it had value for you personally and that by accepting this you created a place and a space that allowed for these values to be engage and accessed by others.

If you ask us now, whether there is some direct ministry you can do to manifest this mission, we would direct you where we have always directed you, to your inner core, to your presence of our Father within you, to ask each day what you can do, to be still and to listen and to manifest what comes in understanding to you. Who are we to say that you might not engage in some big idea that catches fire and allows a greater degree of visibility than you might have imagined? But this is not the goal, not the point. This would be the outcome. Your goal is to share your inner life with God, and to, by being inspired, allow that to engage with the rest of your surroundings so that who you are at its truest essence is witnessed by others and gives them the opportunity to accept and allow that to become part of their understanding.

So in some sense we say yes to each of your questions and ideas for service and growth. There is no cap on what can be done in the name of God. But we hope that as you pursue your ideas and objectives that you recognize that some things become built by continued practice and dedication, such as your group beginning with a few, growing to many and spilling out into your community and to other communities who you had the fortune to touch so that the message could be delivered in various ways and methods. I certainly am open to your questions this evening, my friends. Thank you for the opportunity to share.

Dialogue

Q: I have no questions but I think you answered one of the questions that was proposed, so thank you.

Machiventa: Thank you. It has been and continues to be an honor to serve with you and for you. This process of delivering illumination cannot be forced and provide lasting change. It takes continuous engagement with the principles to truly understand the value of stillness, the value of commitment, the value of participation, and recognition of one's place in a larger community, that community that we call the family of God, which can only be understood by recognizing this love and consistently applied spiritual pressure over a period of time, to know that it is not fleeting, not going away, but is part of who you can be if you choose. These points of light, such as yours, have provided places for people to feel that brother and sisterhood, that camaraderie, that participation in a higher plan, in a higher purpose. Just as many other points of light are out there in the world, it is this realization that is important and the ministry is only effective to the extent that these realizations can occur unfettered within the smaller corps, expanding to the larger sense of participating in the grand plan of existence and eventually leading to the recognition of our Creators. For it is undeniable, once one finds this level of connection and participation, to conceive that it is existent without cause and so those who may have flailed about in the philosophical postulations that there is no first cause, even they, at some time, will realize that universal connection and understanding and the camaraderie attendant to that leaves no choice but to understand that there is the first cause.

So it is less important to shove a philosophy of God down the throats of people, to "save" them. It is more important to do the activities that bring about the realization of participation both materially and spiritually, such that each can, by practicing the principles, recognize the conclusions I alluded to. Thank you once again for the opportunity this evening, as always, and I look forward to meeting with you again.
