===Opening===

Elyon (Jonathan TR): My greetings to you. My greetings to all of you who receive this [[communication]] and who pursue the contact of my associates as well in the interests of promoting [[truth]] and of [[demonstrating]] [[goodness]] and of enhancing [[beauty]] upon this world. I am Elyon.

Elyon (Jonathan TR): My greetings to you. My greetings to all of you who receive this [[communication]] and who pursue the contact of my associates as well in the interests of promoting [[truth]] and of [[demonstrating]] [[goodness]] and of enhancing [[beauty]] upon this world. I am Elyon.

It is always -- and I repeat it tirelessly -- [[wonderful]] to witness your dedication and diligence in the pursuit of [[light]] and your re-presentation of your discoveries to those in your lives, be it in small [[gesture]] or be it in direct conversation or ministry. You are among those who have been observing and participating in our mission in this phase of contact, of [[teaching]], and preparation. We have approached you in the role of visitors, for many in this [[Correcting Time]] outreach hale from numerous worlds, all spanning diverse levels of [[spirit]] attainment. This visitation is an effort to enfold you in the awareness of our conjoined efforts at upliftment and [[growth]] throughout this entire [[Satania|system]] and its constellation above, even to the entire [[Nebadon|universe]] of our Michael Son. Where we are the visitation of [[light and life]] to your world as we seek to minister and to uplift, you are the presentation of this same ministry. No better role can be had in this [[Teaching Mission]] than the ones you are in now, that being embodied in physical form, engaged in the activities of this world, and presented with every opportunity to reveal [[the Father]] and to [[demonstrate]] [[truth]].

I know from your discussion that you are anxious to be of service, to extend that recognition of spiritual brotherhood to everyone. You have foretasted the morontia delights of brotherly love, that concern and care for one another that stems from that recognition of your common spirit Father. This is the way of the [[morontia]] lifestyle. Every effort we make to be of [[value]] to you in our contact is for this end, that you foretaste more deeply of the way of life of the [[mansion worlds]] and the worlds beyond them. Together we bridge the gulf between that which, to your [[human]] [[senses]], is invisible and intangible into your realm of concrete discernible objects, of [[pleasure]] and [[pain]], of [[sorrow]] and [[joy]].  

The commission that promoted and presented [[The Urantia Papers]] to this world knew full well that their efforts would lie on dusty shelves were it not for the [[fact]] that within every [[human being]] is the [[Divine Spark]] which will ignite the [[words]] that will create living in the mode that was presented, intended fully to be in step with the [[evolution]]ary standing of the world and the [[culture]] to which it was given.

We come with like [[intention]], to give lessons knowing full well that you enliven our words with your actions, that you broaden the meaning of our small presentations by applying them to the many episodes that you experience week after week in your daily goings on. You have the monumental task. It is easy for me to assemble a line of [[thought]], to infuse it with [[imagery]], to implant [[inspiration]], to trigger your [[emotions]], to activate your [[minds]] with curiosity and wonderment and hope. But the true artistry begins when you leave our meetings and you're faced with the ordinary, hum-drum, repetitive cycles of life of a human being on an evolutionary world. Here is where the [[talent]] emerges, the skill of conversion, of [[translating]] what we present into a [[demonstration]] that has living qualities. I know often my associates and I have reminded you of this, but it cannot be stressed enough how vitally important it is that the manifested forms you are in are the true uniforms in this project of bringing [[the Father]] closer to the hungry children on a world such as yours.

Likewise is this the case for myself as I observe you making those strides, taking those leaps, which prove that you are understanding and absorbing the [[meaning]]s that are given in our contact meetings.

Not all worlds benefit from the securities of [[Light and Life]]. When human beings engage themselves in [[behavior]] patterns which foretaste a culture of Light and Life, it thrills all the [[celestial]] observers attending to that world. Nowhere is such beauty manifested in such [[contrast]] as it is upon [[Urantia]]. I will delve into some imagery once again.

I have had the [[privilege]] of [[ascending]] to the lessons and life presentations that I am able to [[absorb]] at this point in my career and progress seeking [[Paradise]]. I once lived as you live, and I have volunteered to be in this ministry surely to be of [[service]] but adjunctly to broaden and deepen my [[experience]] of that one single episode of the Paradise career, living a human life. I do so enrich this experience by drawing close to those like me, that being you. This is the best I can do in the [[emulation]] of our [[Master Son]] who has the power to bestow himself in your very form and to walk your very world. I would, of course, [[accept]] such an assignment, but this is not the plan for our order of being, at least not as Michael presents it to us at this time. Every [[parent]] enjoys the re-presentation of themselves in the [[maturation]] of their children, the development of their skills and accomplishments.

[[Imagine]] a room full of people all speaking to one another; a din of [[sound]] pervades the chamber. It is a [[pleasure]] to be engaged in so many people's [[thoughts]] and [[expression]]s, sharing, trading [[insight]]s. This [[circuitry]] is uplifting; it is a [[music]] to the spiritual ear, the fellowship. But also imagine a room where no one says a [[word]], for they know not what to say. Then one voice steps forward and proclaims the truth, demonstrates the reality of the light and the love of our Divine Parent. How well heard that message is, for there are no extraneous noises that would prevent its reception. This is the outreach that is taking place on Urantia. This world has done well on its own, lacking the administrations that were meant to be well rooted here guiding all the hungry souls. However, there is still far too much confusion, much ignorance, darkness. You are that shouting voice, the ones who proclaim it from the mountain tops.

Likewise is this the case for myself as I observe you making those strides, taking those leaps, which prove that you are [[understanding]] and absorbing the [[meaning]]s that are given in our contact meetings.

Nowhere is such [[beauty]] manifested in such [[contrast]] as it is upon [[Urantia]]. I will delve into some imagery once again.

I know you may say, "Little me? What in my life can I do to be of such note, to be of such [[service]], to make such a loud exclamation?" If you could but step back from this [[planet]]  and take a tour of worlds that have functioned in the normal plan, you would see how noticeable your demonstration of righteousness is in contrast. Many variations of the same color blend and appear to be one, but one uniquely different color placed among that series of same [[colors]] stands forward and is noted. Do not expect to be noticed by those around you; that is not the goal. The goal is living the life [[the Father]] stimulates within you, that [[Michael]] encourages of you. That is all that is the obligation of a spirit believer. The [[transformation]] of the lives that you [[touch]] is the Father's work as He works within them. You need not keep track, to enter in your ledger the [[quantity]] of [[soul]]s you transform, for that is not the goal. You are to present yourself as one who has known of the riches of the kingdom with the full [[faith]] that those riches you have experienced have the ability to [[touch]] those [[reality]]-responsive [[mechanisms]] in another [[being]]. They may not recognize it; you may not recognize it, but that small [[revelation]] that you were a contributor giving may burst forth even so far along as in one of their [[mansion world]] experiences.

You have read the story of [[Van]], his [[farsighted]] [[comprehension]] of the plan for [[this world]] and his [[faithfulness]] and [[dedication]] to contributing to the establishing of the new [[epoch]]. Few have such an expansive [[perspective]]. He took on a role that gave him the [[opportunity]] to become a [[Satania|system]] level being walking upon an [[evolutionary world]]. He had that breadth of [[perspective]]. You who wish and have dedicated yourselves to helping [[this planet]] while you are sojourning upon it can receive the same [[panoramic]] view of system affairs through the simple act of [[stillness]]. Your conscious mind may not feel it in your exercise of [[quiet]], but your [[super-conscious]] [[mind]] in association with the [[Thought Adjuster|Father's presence]] is developing that understanding, that [[intuition]]. It may never come to the formulation of [[words]] to express this [[perspective]], but it will [[color]], it will flavor and in many ways enhance your [[action]]s. It is the undertone that will vibrate and compile your external [[action]]s into a meaningful form of ministry.

That [[foundation]], that intangible experience deep within you, nourishes your [[expressions]], even formulates them such that they will have appropriate avenues wherein they may reach another, not unlike how I [[visit]] you today to give you some form of upliftment. You may never be able to turn around and repeat what I have said to another, and it does not matter, for the flavor, the undertone, that [[vibration]]al [[sensitivity]], will stay with you. You will create the appropriate [[expression]] to present to another at the right [[moment]] when the need is there.

I have finished my expression. If you are interested we can [[converse]]. I will take questions and always enjoy your comments.

Kirk: I pictured you and us like Van and [[Amadon]]. Van was able to portray those [[ideas]] and [[ideals]] to Amadon, a loyal [[mortal]].

Kirk: I pictured you and us like [[Van]] and [[Amadon]]. Van was able to portray those [[ideas]] and [[ideals]] to Amadon, a loyal [[mortal]].

Elyon: I am touched at your comparison to these two noted figures, for they do stand as heroes, and they do exemplify those great qualities of a faithful life.

Elyon: I am [[touched]] at your comparison to these two noted figures, for they do stand as [[heroes]], and they do exemplify those great [[qualities]] of a faithful life.

Yes, it is true you do take on the role of Amadon. Imagine a mortal of those days without the [[structure]]s of [[education]] that you have now in place on this world. Much which you consider ordinary lifestyle was not his. Yet he could taste those ideals that Van expressed to him. I say this in order to encourage you all when you become disheartened over your effectiveness at spreading the light. You have what is needed. It is innate in the human [[soul]] when [[faith]] is there to foster it.

Kirk: Have you been in the [[presence]] of [[Michael]]?

Kirk: Have you been in the [[presence]] of [[Michael]]?

Kirk: What a treat, huh?

Kirk: What a treat, huh?

Elyon: It is [[divine]]ly enjoyable. You all have expressed the desire to better manifest Michael, to follow him. This urge will not end after you have left this world, for his [[inspiration]] is [[universe]]-wide. You will discover more about Michael than his life as [[Jesus]] could possibly reveal. You will continually be inspired and seek to emulate this [[creator]] [[personality]].

Evelyn: A lot of us find it encouraging that we could be effectively shouting from mountain tops and not realize it. Our life situations don't often involve much [[publicity]] or [[attention]]. We don't seek that, but we want to be of [[service]]. In the past you have said to be [[bold]], to be ready to be demonstrative when the [[spotlight]] happens to swing our way. Meanwhile we can rest [[assured]] that we are having some [[effect]].

Elyon: This is quite true and you need not [[manufacture]] instances when you can shout from the [[mountain]] top, for the [[opportunities]] are many already round about you. It is true that one man's mountain top could be another man's hill. Yet to the one who needs to hear it from the small mound it can be a life [[transforming]] [[revelation]] to receive your cries, your proclamations. You see, those like myself have [[ascended]] mountain peaks that are from your [[perspective]] very high, and our shout becomes quite faint in the valleys below. Those who stand in the nearer ridges have the better opportunity to translate what they hear from the higher mountains to those who seek to [[receive]].

Evelyn: Today we read and discussed a [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=1996-09-13-Effects_Of_Universe_Broadcasts#Universe_Broadcasts.2C_Preparation transcript of Rantarason in 1996 about preparedness].[appended] Given the interval of time since then, is there anything you would like to add to that lesson?

Elyon: I have no new thing to add but to reemphasize the importance of being [[prepared]], of being that calm [[voice]] when the [[storm]] hits. You can still the waters with a [[spirit]] [[command]], and this calming [[influence]] can only be had when you have experienced calm yourself. Thus the importance of [[quiet time]].

Evelyn: Today we read and discussed a transcript of Rantarason in 1996 about preparedness.[appended] Given the interval of time since then, is there anything youwould like to add to that lesson?

Otherwise, you have witnessed the small bubbles at the bottom of a pan as water comes to a [[boil]], how it can remain that way for a period of time before a full roll is experienced. This is the [[interval]] of [[time]] we are in. It is heating up. [[The circuits]] are maturing. Emplacements are firm. The many like yourselves are undergoing the [[training]]. Let not the time of this message of our [[Melchizedek Schools|Melchizedek]] cause it to lose its import, for that was but just a few short years into your past. To us it is still a very current message.

I would, I guess, add one note and that is that it could be taken that his message meant that there would be some [[upheaval]], some [[calamity]], though I do perceive that you did not [[interpret]] it that way. His [[expression]] intends to convey that those who are unprepared will [[experience]] upheaval, [[confusion]], disorientation. The [[action]]s of the [[revelation]]s of [[circuits]], broadcast circuits, even [[materialization]]s of beings, these are not disruptive. I use the bestowal of Michael and even of Machiventa on this world to illustrate they are never calamitous; they are quiet. The [[value]] is in preparedness. That is how you avoid the disorientation, the [[panic]].

By applying yourselves to the refinement of your frameworks for conceptual [[thought]], you will be [[flexible]], adaptive, to sudden [[changes]] that you even may not have foreseen. This habitual application of refining and [[adjusting]] will be valuable when things are presented to you that you had not [[conceived]] of. To those who have applied themselves to the fixation of their conceptual frameworks, there will be much tearing at their [[mind]]s and [[souls]] as they have to grapple with the presentation of very real changes as [[contrasted]] against their [[Frame of Reference|theological and philosophical frameworks]].

So the change, the approaching [[events]] Rantarason spoke of [transcript appended below-Editor], will actually be [[beautiful]] and beneficial to [[this planet]]. Your [[flexibility]] and [[practice]] of [[stillness]], developing that inner ear, will make your encounter with these changes thrilling and enjoyable and will also make you valuable at [[stabilizing]] those who must quickly accomplish the change of [[perspective]] to adapt to the new way upon this world.

I will take my leave now. I give you my [[love]]. We share so much throughout your days. My role is the quiet observer, formulating what I hope to be [[meaning]]ful lessons for you as I witness your undertakings throughout your week.
