Lesson
This is Machiventa, the Planetary Prince and celestial friend.
Thank you for welcoming me. I am always in attendance but speak with you only when invited. I have deep respect for each of you, as I can very clearly see the luminosity of your Thought Adjuster and recognize you as representatives of the Paradise First Source and Center. From our perspective, you are ambassadors of our Creator. We notice your potential and honor the indwelling presence within you.
When you ask me and my administration for solutions to the many issues needing attention on Urantia, we see the individual and collective power each of you possess. We strive, through our plans, to draw forth this power in a way that honors and respects your free will. This we must do.
You are universe administrators in training—from our point of view, students in a master class of universal administrative training. You have an opportunity to graduate from this course with high honors. These accolades are not awarded for potential, but for achievement. You must apply yourselves to the course material at hand and demonstrate a degree of mastery.
If you could see yourselves as we see you—as possessing the unlimited power to effect meaningful change in your mortal circumstances—then you would know how to relate to me and your celestial administration. We seek a co-creative relationship with you, not a co-dependent one.
It should be clear now: the Celestial Administration will not give you a blueprint for bringing your world into the era of Light and Life. We are here to guide and consult with you as you present your plans to address your world's problems. The solutions must be initiated by you. You already have every recourse at your disposal. Whether you use and apply these resources is up to you.
We on this side of the veil will not deprive you of being the hero of your own story. That would not be loving or kind. You would not develop the self-esteem and confidence gained when you successfully triumph over your difficulties. Time-space creation is a vast training ground for mortals to move with the Creator of all and to learn to express the potential the Creator has endowed you with as you encounter and solve the myriad problems of imperfection evolving into perfection.
What makes Urantia such a great opportunity is the enormous degree of dysfunction present here, and the innovative and creative solutions humanity must develop to solve this. You are not bereft of assistance. But as you mature individually as young planetary administrators in training, and then collectively apply yourselves to the solutions that will eventuate enlightened life, you will become noble characters in the universe—enabling Nebadon to achieve this status in the far-distant future.
The solutions you seek are latent within you. Do not avoid your responsibility to develop them. When you feel you have ideas worthy of my consideration, bring them to me, and let us examine them. It is your initiative—your creativity—that must and will provide the solutions for your world.
I and the planetary administration will only provide the infrastructure for your solutions. Do not take my comments as harsh; they are spoken out of great love and respect. You have everything you need to succeed, being indwelt by the First Source and Center. You have power, creativity, and ability yet untapped.
You are loved unconditionally and cared for without restraint. Even so, an infant cannot learn to crawl, then walk, and then partner with the Creator in bringing into existence new cosmic citizens without much effort and trial and error. Many times, you will fall down. What we look for is whether you will rise again and continue the struggle as you grow.
These are the muscles needed to walk upright as dignified faith-sons and daughters of our beloved Sovereign, Christ Michael. We are here at His behest. We serve on His behalf. We move together in confidence, knowing that when we partner with the Divine Spirit within, we surely will emerge triumphant.
Be not dismayed by what you see around you. Be not discouraged by the last gasps of the rebellion mindset attempting to retain dominance. It is non-sustainable—and it surely will not be sustained.
In the process, we will create many great souls who will go on to do wonderful things, even beyond this world.
Closing
Be in my peace. Accept my blessing. Enjoy my friendship as I enjoy yours. Let us never hesitate to call upon our Father and seek His will, as we endeavor to manifest His love and light, and cleanse this world of the darkness that it so desperately clings to.
Thank you.
