Session

Lesson

Tomorrow is Easter, a day of rebirth, of resurrection. Symbolic of a great moment in history unlike any other.

There are days celebrating great victories and days mourning tragic events of and with great sorrow. But your Easter Sunday is unique in that it celebrates both of these at once – when a great tragedy was turned into a great victory and both mourning and celebration are appropriate - but mourning for the seeming victors and celebration for the seeming vanquished! And this is the lesson of Easter: nothing is as it seems. When a Spirit is clothed in Glory yet resounds with an earthly correspondence, and a body so ravaged as to be unrecognizable is made the vessel of a transcendence beyond everything but belief, you know the game has changed.

Easter announces a new protocol. It is the unveiling of the Unveiling. “Look”, it says, “This is new. Now is new.” The old way of thinking – “things are what they seem”; “what you see is what you get”; “don’t look behind the curtain, there’s nothing there”; those days are suddenly gone. You can only trust now what can be found when the stone is rolled away.

But…the tomb is empty.

Precisely. Nothing is as it seems.

A spirit – the Spirit of Truth – has been unleashed and now walks the land. From whence comes this wonderment? Roll the stone away and find out.

An empty tomb? ‘Nothing is as it seems’. This is one way of translating “the Good News”. Look deep into that empty tomb. What do you see? Squint; strain your eyes. In the darkened corner there, very small, yes… but there. In the distance…you see it? A manger. It begins anew, but this time with your permission, your cooperation, your participation. Look up. It is your turn. Be of good cheer. Happy Easter.

Nameless: [Delores] A connection to the universe, to that Holy Spirit dancing its way, free on the planet of Urantia, shining in the darkness. The Spirit of Truth was poured upon the hearts of man, women, and children and all will open their hearts to the love, to the new mystery hanging in the air, it was something, it was the ring of truth, it was a bell and yet as if many angels were singing. This ascension, this 3rd day of rebirth is in the hearts of every man, woman and child that they too survive and are alive in the vibrant light and love of the Father’s Kingdom. This is why Michael came to show there is no death, there is life.

And we are asking you to hold that light, that hope, that faith of certainty because you have been following it all of your lives. That is why you’re here, and we celebrate it again every year and we celebrate it with every heart that is reborn into this light and begins its journey along its path to home. So yes, prepare yourselves for a great celebration and many people, personalities, world leaders, universe leaders, all the upper ups are here and will be dressed in their finery and will be watching your world as it tumbles along towards its perfection with your choices of the light and the hope and the love. So thank you dear friends for your steadfast devotion, for your persistence, for your courage, for keeping alive these new prophecies we are making of Light and Life and love. Stay happy…your spirit team.

Mark Rogers: I have Machiventa who would accept the opportunity to join us in fellowship. I Welcome Machiventa.

Machiventa: Indeed I do feel a genuine welcome into such a group as this with such comrades of deep devotion. I feel right at home, welcome to be among a group so concerned with being of service in whatever way they may be capable at the time. The desire to be of service and help unfold this plan of Michael’s and Mother's and of many other celestial influences, to transform this world that has been isolated and, in the darkness, to be brought out of the shadows and be reconnected and re-associate with the universe at large; such a transition is interesting to consider in light of the lesson on how things may not be as they appear. One set of standards must give way to a higher set of values and standards and one must rise from the demise of the other.

In the eclipsing of previous values and the enhancement of more supreme values, both are part of the growth process, of the transition from the one to the next. That is what is experienced on the individual and personal level throughout your ascension career. There are the cycle of outgrowing smaller dimensions and growing into new dimensions of your being. The act and the experience of transition is a constant throughout your universe ascension career. There will always be the next cycle that will eclipse the current cycle. If you remain fast to your desire to seek and find greater truths and higher principles through your spirit relationship to your Divine Parents, such growth will require numerous transitions from age to age and through cycle after cycle.

The journey forward will be made significantly easier when you decide that your attitude about change is so significant as to affect the outcome of change. Realizing that when change is happening there may be some uncomfortable aspects of letting go of previous assumptions and growing in your ability and awareness of greater and greater truths requiring greater capacity and then growing into larger parameters of yourself. This same dynamic of growth, the cycles, the passing of ages and stages, is what is now happening so pronounced in your arena of social life on this world. While change is upon you, it may come with its times of discomfort from the feeling of loss of something familiar and something that brings you security. Many times, the first reaction to such change is resistance, thinking things are working just fine as they are and a change is not necessary.

But a wise and seasoned individual understands that change is always a necessary component of any circumstance. All things change. How they change is what is under some of your jurisdiction as the observer. If you enter into a mindset where you feel change is thrust upon you and you see it as a challenge to be overcome or subdued or resisted somehow from being implemented or accomplished, if you take such a stance then truly your difficulties will be great. As has been said ‘resistance is futile' in such circumstances, it only deters your progress. All things change in accordance with their growth needs.

Therefore, the master looks at change as opportunity, as the conditions being favorable to move in a direction of more perfection. When change is present things may be seen as in flux, not frozen in the ice of previous experience. Choose to adopt an approach to take to infuse excitement and joy into the equation, this same stance of welcoming change and being willing to work with it and to so interact with it so as to dance the dance or walk the walk. Such an attitude of embracing change conditions your outcome, conditions the journey and brings you more of that which is exciting, beautiful, truthful and good.

So whether you are considering the personal level or the national level or even the universal context, the same set of growth cycles are before you that are there provided to bring you the growth you need, bring you the method of change to become more perfect and to become better with each attempt. At this time of Easter when you are reflecting how the Master was able to provide such a graphic example of having laid down his life only to pick it up again but pick it up in spirit form, the same personality, the same individual, the same part of the whole only transformed through great change to the next dimension of growth, the spirit context and the eternal component of self, the part which your Master attempted to illustrate survives beyond the mortal constraints and rises from one form and takes another to continue on the eternal journey.

Blessed are you who know of his story and who are aware of his contribution and his example. Literally he did show you the way and the way to The Father is through him. He showed you the way. Easter represents a grand opportunity to be able to focus on the Master’s example, the Master teacher is the example and so we are blessed to have been privileged with this gift of grace and it is always good and well to acknowledge and pay tribute to the gift of Michael’s example, not simply his words and lessons and stories but far more grand was his display of attitude, of grace and love unconditional. It was his desire to demonstrate to all his fellows and followers what he meant when he spoke of the Kingdom of Heaven. Such a kingdom is certainly within, to be had with that component of the self referred to as your ’spirit aspect’ or your ‘eternal component.'

Closing

Thank you all for holding this light anchor, this portal from one dimension to another, this opportunity that you provide that we can bridge the gap and reflect on life, on Urantia, life here and now among you who are the spirit corp, a group functioning at their duties in spirit directing love and positive energies through their vehicles and through their intentions. It is with great gratitude that I acknowledge this connection, this group, these friends who have come to know each other and will come together once again in service. Be in peace. Go in peace. Peace is not the destination, peace is the way, it’s the journey. Farewell. Thank you for the opportunity. Good day.
