Session
Lesson
My friends, this is Machiventa. There are many messages available for people to read— those you’ve mentioned from the Galactic Federation of Light, and those that come from our own team. If you are searching for messages that give predictions, or those that instruct on the reformation of your social institutions, or even messages about your personal relationships, I will say this: the more personal the need, the more you must go within. Without your divine guide, you cannot truly discern the truth value of any message.
We are more inclined to stimulate your spiritual development through practices that are tried and true—building a consistent stillness practice, devoting time to connect with your spirit, with Father Michael and Mother Spirit, and giving time to those humans close to you. Improve your communication with one another so that your words are meaningful and heartfelt. When conflicts arise, practice the skills of listening. Ask your spirit to help you understand what the other truly needs.
These are the basic skills you will always be practicing—on this world and the mansion worlds to come. We may repeat ourselves, but we do this because you need reinforcement. The same is true of the lessons life brings. Reflect on your past—your teens, your twenties—and compare it to now. You’ll likely see great growth and realize that some experiences have been repetitive versions of earlier ones.
We don’t become solid in our spiritual stature without reinforcing our lessons. One experience isn’t necessarily enough. You will find yourself revisiting similar experiences to measure your growth and deepen your attunement to divine ways. Many of your life experiences will seem like tests to show how much you’ve grown. It’s encouraging when you notice that you no longer react the same way to a situation as you once did—that your response is more mature now.
You may still notice a few lingering negative stirrings inside—those you didn’t act upon but can still feel. When that happens, go to your spirit and ask: “What is going on in me? Why does this still bother me? What can I do to be free of it?” It is your willingness to cooperate with your spirit that stimulates true growth in your life.
My friends, you are fortunate to be on a planet such as Urantia. It offers so many diverse, challenging experiences—each one an opportunity to accelerate your growth if you make it your practice to go to your spirit and ask for the better way. We rejoice with you that you are ready for this.
And if you ever wish to hear our wisdom or receive our perceptions, all you need do is call upon us. With that said, if anyone in the group would like to ask my trembling mortal a question, she is ready. Please, ask her at least one question. Speak up if you have one.
Dialogue
Question/Answer Delores: (abbreviated) I think of you, Machiventa and Michael, as the heads overseeing the spiritual and physical aspects of growth, reformation and transformation. I think it is also true that the physical visitors from other worlds arriving on their spaceships operate under your administration. Is that not true?
Machiventa: If beings from other worlds are going to engage with Urantian mortals, they are under my direction. If they are interacting with other planetary beings elsewhere in the universe, then they are under the supervision of others. But anything that pertains to Urantia falls under my administration.
Yes, there are humans from other worlds who have visited here. Some mortals are psychically well-adapted to receive messages from these off-world beings. Yet even these visitors possess free will, and it is up to them to decide how they wish to engage with a Urantian.
There have been planetary visitors who were not benevolent, but steps have been taken to end their activities. You may rest assured that any o-world being who contacts you does so only with my approval—provided that your Thought Adjuster also gives permission. Always check in with your Thought Adjuster, for you are partners in experience, and both your soul and spirit should be in agreement about what you are prepared to encounter.
That is my recommendation for anyone who feels uncertain about receiving communication from other-world mortals. With that said, I will now give others a turn to speak, and I thank you for listening.
- Thomas Reaching Up, Reaching Down: Cooperation Between Mortals and Spirit TR Alan Rowe
11-10-25 Hello, my friends! This is your friend, Thomas. I am here following Machiventa—a hard act to follow indeed. We operate at what you might call a lower level than Machiventa; we hold him in the highest respect. We are closer to you, just a level higher. You mortals are not so much as “lower” than us—only different.
As mortals, you are connected to your planet. You were born here and live here; that is the realm you experience—until you become aware of another realm, which is where we abide. Our realm is sometimes called a higher one, but it is simply different. It is a place you will one day reach, a state you aspire toward. What is wonderful is when you, as physical beings, open yourselves to the reality that we exist and are here to help you. We reach down to assist when you reach up. We meet in cooperation, drawing you upward in consciousness. Though you remain in your material world until you pass over, even now you can connect with the realm we inhabit.
Think of this: the Father—the Creator of all—is the source of both our reality and yours. He fills the universe with His love, and it is toward Him that we all aspire. We seek to raise ourselves to His level, to radiate love as He does. This is what we hope to help you with on your mortal world.
Love is not merely a feeling; it is a process. We help you tune in to the love that surrounds you—the Father’s love flowing through Michael and Mother Spirit, through Machiventa, and through us. Each of you also has your Thought Adjuster, another purveyor of divine love.
Through your free will, you are in charge. You choose to reach out, to calm your busy minds, to open your hearts, and to seek higher values—love, connection, and meaning that enrich your lives. As you open yourselves to love and to the many forms of connection around you, your lives will improve. You will naturally reach out to others, helping them connect to this same love.
Love is contagious—it grows as you feed it, open to it, and share it freely. It is the living connection between mortals on the physical worlds and the Father in Paradise, and we serve as steppingstones along that way.
Thank you for coming to this meeting, for your openness and willingness to tune in and seek the uplifting gifts available through your Thought Adjuster, through us, through Machiventa, Michael, and Mother Spirit, all the way to the Father. It is wondrous that you are here, choosing to seek these higher values so that you may live more joyfully and spread this love to others.
Thank you for your time. We love you. If you have a question, please ask.
- Question/Answer
Deborah: Thomas, you have been in a relationship, so to speak, with Alan for some time. So, what do you cherish most about your connection to Alan?
Thomas: Thank you for that question, Deborah. It is truly mind-boggling that a mortal—a physical being—can open to the unknown, reaching out and asking for help from what appears to be the invisible ethers. There is nothing tangible, nothing you can touch, yet the connection is real.
Alan has done this. He has opened himself and said, “Thomas, or whoever you are, I am open to your input and to the gifts you may offer.” That conscious choice is glorious.
From our side, it is amazing—a miracle—that mortals are willing to open themselves to this spirit connection and to the intangible gifts available to them. Thank you again for your question.
- Our Planetary Administrators answering another question with a different TR
TR Delores 11-10-25
Sal: When I was with two friends in the Sierras, we had a disagreement about communicating with celestial beings and the reality of UFOs. They questioned my openness to discuss such experiences and felt uncomfortable with the topic. Therefore, they banned me from bringing up the topic to the retreat group, which led to tension between us and my decision not to join their retreat. How does this group feel about opening up to discussing the reality of UFOs in connection with contact with celestial beings? Deborah’s seeks clarification with Sal about his question, which to her seems to be about ways humans can improve their way of relating and communicating with one another when they are not in agreement on a topic?
Planetary Administrators: There is a word to reflect upon—differential levels. This holds the key to why things often seem so confusing and why we, as planetary administrators, are so careful in revealing and developing the reclamation now underway. All of God’s children are beloved, and He desires that no soul perish. Every level of understanding is accepted and nurtured, for there are countless helpers assisting in this process.
Consider a metaphor: take one drop from the ocean and view it under a microscope. See how many teeming life forms it contains. This gives you a glimpse of the multitude of beings that exist just beyond your present perception. So many levels of support and guidance are available to help establish and strengthen the circuits of light on your world.
However, you cannot teach a first grader college mathematics. There are beginners and there are masters—some visible, some invisible—living together, all aligned with the oneness of the Father. Yet not everyone can easily grasp this idea of oneness. It is not taught from birth on your world as it is on those of enlightened life. Oneness is a progressive development of mind and spirit for each soul.
Reflect on your own childhood and personal growth. You once thought quite differently than you do now. Some phases of development seemed false but served as stepping- stones leading you onward. Everything that exists does so within the Father’s oneness. Nothing could exist otherwise. All that you perceive is allowed and has purpose.
As these circuits awaken, truth rises. Picture panning for gold—the dirt and mud slowly wash away until only the fine black sand remains, and within it, the pure gold: the living truth of the Father. This gold, though scattered now, will eventually lift your world into greater alignment, until a time comes when speaking of your cosmic cousins—your invisible helpers, morontia teachers, seraphim, and visitors from other worlds—will no longer seem incomprehensible to humankind.
Sal: Those are givens, I understand that. But that didn't answer my question, and I have to go now. Still thank you very much for trying to answer the question.
- Christ Michael The Grand Tapestry of Urantia’s Awakening TR: John Morris
11-10-25
Greetings. This is Christ Michael, your universe sovereign. I am here with Mother Spirit, and together we are deeply enjoying this conversation—this meeting of minds and souls. These infant souls are beginning to blossom on Urantia. I am here because you invite me. I am present because you have reached the point where you can open your minds to the possibilities of this wonderful creation in which you are co-creators.
It is sometimes difficult to remember that the reality you experience is responsive to your creative influence. It responds to how you approach it, explore it, and touch it. As very young children, it can be hard to understand this. Mother Spirit often used the metaphor of children playing in a sandbox—learning to get along, encountering differences of opinion, and facing the small conflicts of desire and ownership over toys that arise in play. These early lessons reveal how emotions must be mastered at all levels within you as part of your ascension process.
Your mortal career is the ideal laboratory for this work. Emotions arise frequently, giving you countless opportunities to practice. This is what you are learning—opening yourselves, reading the perfect compass within, taking bearings more often, and trusting them. As you travel, you will rechart your course again and again. You will make mistakes and correct your course, and this is natural.
Let me share a glimpse of creation as seen from beings who have existed since near- eternity. Your Urantia text lays out a vast beautiful horizon: the many levels of local universe organization—from systems and constellations to the projected ten million inhabited worlds, and the aggregation of these universes into superuniverses. One trillion inhabited worlds projected in a superuniverse, multiplied by seven. Can you imagine the diversity of intelligent will creatures across these realms—creatures you will one day encounter?
Should it be surprising that some of these worlds, far advanced, would take interest in an experimental world that once showed great promise, then fell into darkness, underwent spiritual quarantine, and now emerges on the other side? Your world has fascinated higher evolved worlds in Nebadon for ages. Nothing quite like this has occurred before. My choice to use Urantia as my seventh bestowal planet only intensified that interest.
Thus, it should not surprise you that higher civilizations—your elder brothers and sisters— who live in kindness, compassion, and love, would come to assist. They work with me and with Machiventa, bringing expertise to uplift this planet. For those grounded in the cosmology of The Urantia Book and the teachings of the Teaching Mission, this is not difficult to accept. We taught you to go within, to recognize the Thought Adjuster not as an abstraction but as a true presence you may consciously connect with. This is a great leap for most, but you have taken it. You are now experiencing the benefits of your faith, of the Adjusters who work with you, and of your willingness to say yes.
You are beginning to glimpse your universe and its wonders. Cosmic citizenship and cosmic cousins are not fantasies—they are layers of creation entering your awareness. Consider that you are indwelt by a fragment of the First Source and Center, as are all mortal will creatures across projected trillions of inhabited universes. Every Thought Adjuster is intimately connected to every other, forming a vast web of Thought Adjusters across the grand universe connecting every intelligent will creature of mortal status not only to the First Source and Center but to one another. Given this, is it such a leap to open yourselves to celestial teachers—many from advanced worlds—who paused their fusion with their Adjusters to gain experience here and share their wisdom with you?
Their teachings are not too far above your current state. They benefit you now and prepare you well for the mansion worlds, where the teachings will feel familiar rather than overwhelming. Many on this world will need remedial learning on the mansion worlds simply because they could not or would not open to the spirit gravity within their hearts and minds.
Therefore, do not be surprised—and certainly do not fear—new ideas from realms beyond your current imagination. They help you stretch and grow. Even the teachings attributed to the Galactic Federation of Light offer opportunities for discernment as you evaluate what you actually believe, the truth of your experience, and how your worldview expanded by the context of The Urantia Book is getting challenged. We are adding levels of detail to The Urantia Book cosmology in ways you can personally experience. You are free to engage with these ideas or simply appreciate them as possibilities.
Know that the great plan of the Paradise Deities for Urantia’s rehabilitation is multifaceted, containing elements far beyond your current understanding. What you can understand is your connection to this plan. You are integral to it—co-creators who, in this very moment, open yourselves to me, to Mother Spirit, and to your teachers. When you accept your planetary administration and recognize Machiventa’s role in executing these plans, you consciously participate in a process that will serve your eternal careers.
Be at peace with new ideas. Allow amazement and wonder to move through your mind. You will begin to see pieces of a grand tapestry woven from love, forgiveness, and compassion. Your gaze will expand to embrace the truth, beauty, and goodness of this plan. Rejoice that it is so, and that much lies beyond your present knowing, even as you create a place for these plans to take root and spread across the globe. Soon you will perceive a grander design and understand that the mysterious hand behind it all—guided by love—is active not only in your personal life but in the collective life of humanity on Urantia. Much will not unfold as you presently imagine, but you will learn to appreciate it and be grateful for your part in its unfolding. You help bring it about.
Please feel free to ask questions of me or Mother Spirit.
- Question/Answer
Cheryl Phillips: I’ve recently started looking at these GFL (Galactic Federation of Light) broadcasts, and I don’t fully understand them yet. But what I’ve noticed is that they seem directed toward the youth of today. The young people appear to be coming in large numbers. I saw one broadcast where they welcomed hundreds of new members, and I assumed many of them were likely young people exploring this kind of material.
It seems this could be an effective way for youth to turn toward spiritual interest or curiosity, especially since, in our Urantia Book community, I don’t see young people gathering in such numbers. But in this other group, they seem to be really drawn in.
So I’m wondering: is this part of the master plan—opening up a venue where youth can engage, explore, and make spiritual progress in their own way?
Christ Michael : Thank you, dear one, for your question.
Consider the cultures, religious traditions, theology, and dogma that have shaped your world. Though much good has come from them, thousands of years of evolutionary development have still brought your world to the brink of perhaps a World War, or even potential annihilation of the human species. In this wide field of possibilities, it is understandable that the younger generation would not be drawn to the very institutions whose traditions and dogmas they perceive as contributing to the world’s current troubles.
The Urantia Book is a wonderful revelation, and it will become more widely accepted in the decades and centuries ahead. But it necessarily carries the imprint of the era in which it was produced—the 1920s and 30s. Just as any TR process is subtly colored by the mind, culture, and vocabulary of the human transmitter, so too the revelation reflects something of its time.
What you are seeing now is a presentation of spiritual wisdom—much of which is also found within The Urantia Book—but offered in a form free of the biases and constraints of your world’s religious traditions. Younger people, raised with the imagery of space travel, Star Trek, Star Wars, and the entire science-fiction genre woven into their digital games and their imagination, do not struggle with the concept of a vast, populated creation filled with many kinds of beings. It feels natural to them. It attracts them.
When you become sensitive to these off-world teachings and move beyond your own possible biases, you will feel their resonance—the vibration within them. This resonance is what the younger generation is responding to. They are desperately seeking hope, a positive vision of life, a sense of purpose and meaning that supports their view of the world as something to be cared for, not exploited. They long for relationships rooted in kindness and goodness—not transactional exchanges to be manipulated for personal gain.
How does all this fit into the Correcting Time? The answer ultimately depends on your own capacity to perceive and understand. But I will say this: if it works for young people—if it draws them, inspires them, and leads them inward toward their own Thought Adjusters— then it is serving a purpose. And along the way, many of them will become open to the Urantia teachings and the cosmology found there.
I used to tell my disciples and apostles, when I walked among them: If they are not against you, they are for you. I encouraged them not to be so provincial, not to be so proud of the teachings they cherished that they lose their humility. These teachings were meant to open their hearts, to help them better understand their brothers and sisters, knowing how diicult their own path had been.
So those who welcome these ideas—these concepts—should be regarded as allies, new friends, and fellow brothers and sisters. This is how the brotherhood of humankind will grow on this world. It will not be through unanimity of thought, but through unity of purpose—a unity grounded in the divine attributes of truth, beauty, and goodness, and in the values of equality, compassion, and love. Thank you.
Hearing no further questions, Mother Spirit and I leave you in our peace and our love. All is well.
- Mark’s InnerVoice The Inner Gateway:Assembling the Divine Puzzle
TR: Mark Rogers 11-10-25
I am being given an opportunity to speak to this gathering—this platform of seekers who have all come here by the same (inner spirit) channel. I am this one’s inner voice, and I am delighted to be given expression in a meeting where so many divine principles and conditions have been outlined by the speakers tonight. Throughout these messages, a common thread has been emerging—like pieces of a puzzle coming together to complete the picture.
This thread is the association, presence, ability, and relationship you each have with your internal, indwelling Guide. This represents an enormous stretch of faith, and I am deeply grateful to my partner for extending himself into the vulnerability required for such faith. It feels personal—intimate, internal—and therefore difficult to share. Yet he has allowed my presence to become known because he believes he can, and he has challenged his own convictions of worthiness, appropriateness, willingness, and faithfulness to allow such an interaction to go live.
I acknowledge the strain this can place upon the system, yet I am profoundly grateful to be given a voice—to assemble a few of the pieces of the puzzle brought here today by so many divine messengers. They all allude to a shared crossroads, a portal, a gateway: your internal Guide, your partner, with whom you will one day fuse and become one.
This is the core of the Teaching Mission doctrine of going into stillness and seeking the small, still voice within. It echoes the Master’s message to go apart and seek within your fragment of the Divine. By finding this gateway—this partner, this guide—you may access all that is. You have been reminded that your inner guides have circuitry among themselves, and that you have circuitry with them. Through this gateway, through this partner, the proper connections and communications are ensured.
Through this connection, you may venture beyond your own scope, through the network of spiritual circuitry. You may come into contact with other personalities, with divine wisdom, with the Akashic records, and with the collective consciousness of humankind. These are available to you because they exist within the circuitry and connections you share.
By placing your higher thoughts and values into this collective consciousness, you make them attainable and accessible to those who are seeking. This connection you possess— your portal—is the entry point to your eternal career. Your partnership with this inner guidance enables you to access all that exists in spirit beyond your present reach. It is the way. It is the path.
I am pleased to express these principles so plainly because you have grown in awareness to receive such truth. Your capacity to absorb more truth, beauty, and goodness has increased, giving you a greater vantage point—a higher perspective and a deeper foundation of wisdom.
We may discuss these matters using word-symbols familiar to you, though we refer to spirit principles far beyond mortal comprehension. And yet, here we are—in a classroom you have created, because you made it so through your intentions and participation.
At the center of all this lies the thread of commonality, even within diversity—the connection beyond imagination, and the eternal journey from a spirit perspective. So may it be in your lives as you make it so. Your choices, your growth, and your evolution are your own. By assembling the pieces of this puzzle—seeing how it is done—you enable yourselves to do it.
Closing
Well done in seeking and finding. I pray you come to realize that every soul here today is working with their Adjuster, actively engaged in the process, even if they do not consciously register the frequency shift when aligned with their spirit guide. Yet all of you feel the results—being moved and led by Spirit.
Thank you for all you do to make these meetings possible, for pushing the goalpost down the field, and for widening the perspective so you may leverage this new awareness and work more closely with your inner voice.
Let it be so. Farewell.
