Lesson

TR-Delores Pollard

Greetings, children. It is I, your friend Machiventa.

Do you remember when we told you long ago that these days of tribulation would come? We could see the path that would curve toward the destination of the evolution of your souls.

My heart is full for my agondonters. I am so proud of you. You can't yet know where you are now, what you have done, or what will become of your choice to love and to follow me in the service of our beloved Michael.

We have walked step by step, traversing the Valley of Death. But now, it is an uphill climb—we are coming out of that valley, and great are the numbers who follow us.

When you called to the light, we were surprised: Who are these? Who are these that come? You called, we responded. Back and forth we communed. And through the decades, we wove a strong bond of love that connects us with the Father Circuits and the Paradise plan for your world.

I am here today to tell you: do not fear. The long, dark path is behind us. Ahead lies a shorter way. We will rise up over the mountaintop into a new renaissance of spiritual creativity and connection. It will be the end of the agondonters, for it will be known to all that love walks beside them—when before, it was only hope in the dark.

We listen to you. We know the answers are not always sufficient. We have been involved in this plan for centuries. You, only for decades. Your scope of understanding is still small, even with the vast perspective offered by The Urantia Book. It is indeed a great advantage in maintaining spiritual balance in daily life.

Do not forget that many of your fellows do not possess this far-reaching view, this light and life at the end of the road. Be patient with them. You cannot drop all the knowledge into their heads at once. Nobody would be ready for that. It must come bit by bit, with willing hearts and open minds.

Eventually, we will be able to teach the true history of your world—of your planet from the beginning—the mistakes, the wrong assumptions, even those we made, thinking things could be corrected when they could not.

Do not judge our world too harshly. You are like daisies that spring up in the middle of a cement sidewalk. How do you grow? we ask. You draw your strength from your spirit, from your Father Adjuster, who has always been with you.

This has created a unique world where the Thought Adjuster circuits were forced to build intricate new communications to uplift human hearts into the light—together. This is an unusual accomplishment for a planet, and part of the curiosity that draws so many here to watch what is happening now. You have created something new, something remarkable in the universes. And we have all come to watch the parade.

It is not just a celebration or parade for you—it is a struggle. We know this, and we honor each and every positive choice you make throughout your day, your week, and the coming months. Each time you turn your heart to positive thought, each time you pray for love and comfort for your brothers and sisters—these are the most precious gifts. That bejeweled energy of concern, intention, and love travels along the circuits of the Father, which are strong on this planet. It is unique. It is beautiful. And I am honored to be here.

We didn’t know what was hidden under the veil of quarantine. Some angels knew. A few among us knew. But for the most part, we had no idea what was happening beneath the clouds—like peering into the depths of Jupiter, seeing only swirls and patterns. Prayers would rise, but we could not engage due to the quarantine. And when that ended, we found you—mysterious, amazing humans—seeking love, seeking light, seeking the Father and following the Son.

Know that soon these trials shall be ended. You will look back on these dark days and wonder; How did we do that? You did it through love. You do it with love.

And with love, I thank you. I will close, for now, from this transmitter.'

TR-John Morris

Good day. This is also Machiventa speaking to this one, to continue our conversation this morning.

First, let me express our gratitude to you for your willingness to maintain this connection. Without your faithful action to sustain these circuits, they would not exist. We marvel at your faith, your consistent presence, your seeking of our company. We cannot help but respond. So, we are grateful.

The world has gone over the precipice, into a great abyss. The time of purification is upon this planet. The rebellion mindset, with its violence, hatred, and greed, seems intent on exhausting itself through destruction.

It may appear that all is lost, that the forces of light have failed. But I assure you—we have not. You have not. Human free will must find its expression. We cannot intervene in that regard.

I would remind you, as ones steeped in a great wisdom tradition, that we have long spoken of a time when the masses would be like deer in the headlights—panicked, unsure, lost. In that moment, the children of light would stand steady in their midst, a calm and reassuring presence.

The people will begin to ask you: How can you be so self-assured in these moments of utter chaos, during the unraveling of civilization and society?

Now, my children, it is your time to shine. Prepare yourselves. Draw strength from us on this side, as we support you and walk by your side. Fear not. Simply be present—as love, as kindness, as empathy and compassion and also as forgiveness, for there will be many who make mistakes and feel great remorse.

This time will open many hearts and minds to consider what they have long ignored. When they are finally ready, you—who have prepared yourselves and been prepared—will be ready to speak words of truth and hope. You will teach those who seek a better way. You will share methods of spirit contact, prayer, and communion. You will demonstrate the values necessary to rebuild your societies into a more sustainable future.

So, we thank you. I would now like to allow time for your questions. Surely, you must have them. I will receive them and try to speak to your needs as you face the uncertainties ahead.

Dialogue

Deborah Goaldman

I'll start, Machiventa. You have far better foresight than I do. I look at the things happening in this world, and I struggle. My heart says, "No, this is not good." My analytical side says, "Well... but what if these steps are necessary ?" We live in a world of violence. I don’t see how we can ignore that, and I believe decisions must be made in light of it. And yet—we can still go to our divine Spirit for guidance.

How do we truly get at the truth of what’s going on, when it’s not always clear? Do you have some words to advise us on that? I know I’m not being specific, but you know there are many alternative versions of truth. Oftentimes I don’t see any way to find evidence to support one over the other. Yet, decisions must still be made based on the information we have. If you can, please comment on that difficult part of our human experience.

Note: Answers are given through both TRs.

You must remember the teachings of our Master when he walked on your world. He said: What should it matter to the children of light if all things—heaven and earth—should crash and perish?

So, when you consider your current moment, remember what it is that brought you here. It is your faith—your willingness to return time and again to the stillness to seek guidance, to seek connection.

This is what you must continue to do: exercise your faith against what may seem to be all odds. Never forget that from the perspective of the Paradise Deities—even from our Sovereign, Christ Michael—all is known. Though all cannot be shared or imparted, you must go through this experience in faith, faced with incredible decisions. And you must, contrary to all evidence, continue to align yourself with love, knowing that love powers everything in creation.

This does not mean you won’t experience hardship, injustice, or even untimely death. But look to Jesus as your example. He had total faith in the Father and his will for him. Even when he knew returning to Jerusalem would cost him his life, he was still willing—and in doing so, he inherited a vast universe.

This world produces great souls. Very few planets in all of creation have descended to such depths of iniquity and evil as Urantia—and yet, from Urantia comes the greatest souls. You cannot fully know the good that may arise from this. That is not to say your celestial friends support evil in order to produce good souls. Not at all. But human free will must be allowed to express itself—even when it descends into such darkness as to try and block out the light entirely. But I assure you, it has not succeeded. The light will win. We will be shining bright at the end of this age, and this world will enter progressive evolution toward light and life.

So, I thank you for your faith, because your example is not just for this world. It is for others throughout creation. Many look upon your hardships and your endurance and are inspired by your faith and your efforts to connect with celestials against all odds.

Machiventa (Dolores Pollard):

Now let’s take it to a more personal level—how to get through your day. As I said through John, Michael trusted the Father, loved the Father, and had faith in Him. But remember, he also loved, trusted, and had faith in his apostles, disciples, and evangelists—the garden of human life he planted while he was here. It was hard for him to leave. He placed you in the Father’s hands— and trusted you. That is mighty. He gave you the Spirit of Truth. It was the natural step as a bestowal Son ascends to sovereignty. The Mother Spirit was then freed to become the Holy Spirit and the Comforter to humanity.

Can you imagine being the apostles before the Spirit of Truth was poured out across the land? That event was a profound turning point for humanity. And Michael trusted that—he trusted his apostles to keep their hearts open because of his love, his memory, and his presence within their hearts. This is the message of the kingdom: I am with you always, he said—even unto the ends of the earth. And though we’re not yet at the end of the earth, evil is rolling out. What remains are the last vestiges, carried in the hearts, genes, and beings of humanity.

Social workers refer to it as “the perp”—the perpetrator—passed from mind to mind, culture to culture. A remnant of greed, selfishness, and hatred still tries to dominate, as child in a tantrum lashing out at its parents and trying to destroy everything around it. You are the adults in the room. But it is still a hard ask.

So, look within your heart. Imagine a triangle: the Father (Thought Adjuster), the Mother, and the Son, Christ Michael (Spirit of Truth) in the heart. A triangle is the most stable form. Make a replica of this triangle out of whatever you wish—my friend here uses golden thread. Carry it with you.

It seems that each time we hear from our beloved Michael, he ends with, My peace I leave with you. He never said he was bringing peace to the world—in fact, he said he was bringing war, contention, and division within families because for love to win, old structures must pass away. The materialistic, imperialistic world—where might makes right—must pass away. The peace he leaves is not external. It is internal. He leaves it with you. It is your job to pick it up, hold it dear, and not let it go. Keep that peace. Claim that peace. Live that peace—so that, no matter what happens around you, you remain unshaken. The world may shake. Your neighborhood, your nation, may shake. But you can stand in light, in faith, in love—the gifts Michael extends.

This is the mighty secret of what is happening here. It would not be this way if it weren’t for you. You call out of concern and caring. Never before have so many on Earth worried about each other. That is beautiful to see—for Brotherhood and Fatherhood are the two steps into the Kingdom of Light.

I know you're saying, “No kings.” So perhaps we need new words for the world to come. Still, the term "kingdom" carries the spirit of devotion and obedience. And these are necessary—to follow me, to follow Michael, to follow the Father’s will. It is through devotion and obedience that you are transformed—and your world is being transformed—because you keep showing up. After 50 years, you still come back.

This is not a single pebble tossed into a pond. It is a million pebbles, creating waves of love that pour out through your hearts—for your brothers and sisters, for peace, and for the perfection of your planet.

Do not fear that you don’t know everything. The way to discern truth is to ask: Does it align with the love of God? Is there love in it? Is it graceful? Does it bring peace?

If you feel butterflies of anxiety or dread—if your gut knows an action would create turmoil— then that is not the right choice. Choose what leads your inner spirit to peace and love.

Your book says there is no survival value in negativity. Don’t cast your pearls before swine or your energy into negativity. They may try to pull you into their drama; that’s what they feed on. But less contention, less fear, means less sustenance for them.

Don’t send your light into the darkness in fear. You can pray for them, because the Father does not wish for any soul to perish. There may still be hope. He is waiting for the last vote to come in. Rome took 400 years to fall.

The recent solstice brought in a wave of cleansing light. This is the time of purification. Have you forgiven anyone today? Have you forgiven anything today? When you do, you will find it easier. The anchors of light are lifting. The darkness is not so deep. Keep working on it. Stay centered. Ask for help if needed. We will surround you with our light, our love, our upliftment. We are excited, ready, and willing to help you. There are many friends here with many gifts and personalities, eager to share with you.

So, look that way. Don’t get caught in the noise of the news. You can check main events once a day. You don’t need to track every chaotic development in real time. Look to the light. Look to the spirits. Look for how you can amplify it. Because sitting in your home, turning your heart to the light in stillness—this is service to the Father. You are the bridge. We are the bridge. This is goodwill, connecting to the upwelling circuits of light and love. It is service—to the Kingdom, to your brothers and sisters. Are there more questions?

Salvatore Turano:

I have an experience I’d like to bring up—my outreach to a Ugandan to play bridge. The experience has given me much to reflect on, and it’s not over.

How does one forgive when you still have to look back at the past—at the errors, or even the sins, of others? How do you forgive when the hurt is still happening?

It’s hard for me to let go of the animosity I feel toward some people for what has happened and is happening now. I know about the Lucifer rebellion. I know about The Urantia Book. But I also understand people now, and it seems it’s all about money—and that’s sad. And I have caused a problem for myself in that arena.

How do I forgive that person? That’s my question.

Machiventa (through John Morris):

My dear Sal, it is so wonderful to see your constant presence here, time and again. Thank you for your perseverance, your dedication, your love of truth, and your devotion to the light.

Your question is one every sincere soul must grapple with. When we approach life with open hearts and good intentions, we are sometimes taken advantage of by others. That pain is real— and it hurts.

So how do you forgive? It begins with intention. But more than that, ask yourself: Where is your attention? If you are constantly focused on the hurt, it will remain before you. It will block your ability to forgive.

In your quiet time, ask your indwelling spirit for help. State your intention to forgive. And then have faith. Shift your attention to love. Start by loving yourself. Don’t be too hard on yourself for any decisions you now regret. Forgive yourself. As you do, you begin to shift your energy from resentment to love. As you keep your focus on spirit and on love, the hurt will slowly fade. You’ll find yourself forgiving—not by force, but through healing.

There is nothing you need to fix. You cannot change other people. The only transformation you have control over is your own. So, allow the change to happen within you—and move on.

Let spirit guide you—wiser, more discerning—to your next adventure in service. You won’t perfect your ability to serve flawlessly for a long time in your ascension career. But you will continue to be given opportunities to grow in that capacity. This situation is simply one more opportunity for your personal growth—for the evolution of your soul. Accept it as such. Learn from it. And move forward.

Salvatore Turano:

Moving on is hard to do sometimes. Easy to say—hard to do.

Machiventa:

That’s true, Sal. But if you believe it’s hard, it will be. Yes, it takes effort—but ask for help, and you will receive it.

Salvatore Turano: Thank you.
