My staff has concluded that our [[progress]] with this immensely important [[correcting time]] continues to exceed our [[expectations]]. We know that you [[mortals]] who have joined us as [[apostles]] of [[Christ Michael]], at times, are overwhelmed with inadequacies, [[feelings]] of unworthiness and [[guilt]], that you should be called to this great mission. But we are trying our best to help you [[understand]] how [[distorted]] this poor [[self esteem]] is, and how contrary to universe [[reality]].

You are [[becoming]] aware of the true [[devastation]] which was wrought upon this system of [[Satania]] by the [[Lucifer rebellion]], and you are beginning to long with great [[nostalgia]] for your defaulted [[the Garden|Adamic administration]]. We are here, in part, to fill that gap and to produce a new [[society]] on this strife torn planet. My unspeakable [[gratitude]] to [[Christ Michael]], our [[Creator Son]], and to [[Nebadonia]], for the honor that is mine to represent this planet as acting planetary Prince. I, [[Machiventa]], have had much to do with your planetary history that is not revealed to you in the [[Urantia Text|Urantia Book]], except where it is hinted that I was in [[contact]] with many individuals between [[the bestowal]] of Christ Michael and the giving of the [[fifth epochal revelation]]. Therefore it is with great [[satisfaction]] that I act in the place of Michael on this planet.

Mantutia (Sheila B.): Greetings. I am your brother, Mantutia, and I would speak of [[awakening]]. With each level of actualized [[growth]] there results an awakening. At this time when you have stepped upon a new plane of awareness, you may very well [[expect]] a feeling of unfamiliarity because of new heights of awareness and [[acceptance]]. What you see before you may very well not be acceptable of your way of life. And this new way of knowing, of seeing, because you are at the beginning once again, you may [[experience]] [[doubts]]. You may experience a [[feeling]] of not knowing one's [[self]] or [[understanding]] those around you.. You cannot go from one floor of a building and expect the same things. You must [[explore]] the new floor you are approaching. It is in this [[process]] of exploration that you come to know your new self, your new understanding, your new acceptance of what is real. This is the [[awakening]].

LinEl (Thea H.): Greetings. This is LinEl. Dear little brothers and sisters, I greet you tonight from the rest of your [[family]] who are standing with you now, amongst you. You have sometimes [[wondered]], some of you, about the status of the [[Teaching Mission]]. I think you know tonight from the [[feeling]] of love we have [[shared]] with this family that the Teaching Mission is alive, and well and thriving. For one of the most important things that we [[hoped]] that we could bring to you was this [[ability]] to [[bond]] together as a family closer in the image of what was intended originally for [[your world]].

When we see you together like this, you cannot know the [[joy]] that we feel, because you are learning to live [[light and life]]. You are the [[seeds]] from which much will spring, and you have already [[grown]]. Think about the years we've been coming together. Look at the [[pattern]] that is now [[unfolding]] and blooming and blossoming amongst you. Every year brings new levels of [[love]], [[tolerance]], [[understanding]], [[support]], and my friends, my brothers, my sisters, we are only beginning.

I will keep my words brief for the moment, but I want you to know that our pride in your [[loyalty]] is immense, for we cannot do what we have come to do without you, and you are here loyally helping us. We love each and every one of you. We watch you tenderly. We [[embrace]] you with [[love]] when you do not even know, but you are all [[learning]] love in manifold ways. And as your [[family]] grows, our family grows, for you also are our family.

Greetings. This is Andronason. I always wanted to do that. This particular [[T/R]] continues to [[think]] of us as being tremendously serious [[beings]], which we are, but also, as I have spoken before with my brothers to you, we have an exceeding lightness to our being which you will perhaps not fully [[appreciate]] until we do stand among you either in the flesh of this life or that which lies before you all in the days and beyond’s to come.

I am so tremendously impressed with what I have seen here today, for we used to gather and [[observe]] your growing [[anticipation]] of [[signs]] and [[wonders]], and while it is indeed a wonderful experience we have all been taken with, the signs are pointing to you my friends. Do you not yet [[realize]] that you are the ones? I think you should take this... I think you should sit on it.

I'm being rather flip tonight but not really, more I'm overflowing in the [[love]] and [[joy]] which springs from all of our [[hearts]], [[celestial]] and [[mortal]] and [[Midwayers|midway]]. For we possess a tremendous [[energy]] for [[the Father]] for ourselves. You have only begun to [[understand]] and barely utilized this, but you will look back and be shocked at the gifts that you have [[received]] almost without knowing. This is always the way of [[the Father]].

I have the [[image]] of you standing, looking out over the [[mountains]] here, with your hand raised like [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_and_clark Lewis and Clark] or some other great [[explorer]], when God stands quietly beside you or behind you [[smiling]], waiting to tap you on the shoulder, for you to turn around and see that [[the kingdom]] is in fact right behind you. God has a tremendous sense of [[humor]] as well. How could he not?

Well, I could, indeed, go on and on, but there are many more here to speak with you, and I will again.

I yield the floor.

I finally convinced her [the [[T/R]]] to do this. This is your [[Mother Spirit]], [[Nebadonia]], and I too am here in great [[joy]] and great [[happiness]], [[embracing]] you all, my visible brothers and sisters in your eyes, and the brothers and sisters who are also my children whom you cannot see. To me you are one big family gathered together from across the [[galaxy]]. You have know idea the peopled room in which you now sit. My [[heart]] is full, pulsating, [[radiant]], golden, vibrant, rainbow [[love]]. We see you growing stronger, allowing it to rise up inside you, allowing it to pass out the twinkling of an eye, out the curve of a [[smile]], out the reaching of a hand to one another. There is nothing as lovely as the [[creation]] reaching back to the [[creator]], itself to itself, love to love. This is the [[meaning]] of [[life]]. This is all there is. This is what you have sought. The [[value]] that your [[soul]] hungers for.

The gifts of your heart are already planted. [[The Father]] has chosen each of you and planted the gifts in your [[heart]] that will cause you to bloom with the most joy that you can [[imagine]].

I would wish that you spend time developing your [[relationship]] with me, so that you can know this clearer, truer, and more [[honest]] in your heart that we are all with you and love you. How many times can we say it? Again and again and again until you really come to know.

Life creates many [[obstacles]] whereby we must unravel the keys to further [[expression]] of your [[personality]]. Be cheered in the [[fact]] that these obstacles, the [[trials]], the [[struggles]], are the most [[beautiful]] stimulators of your creative mind relating the [[personality]] and the [[spirit]] in your [[soul]]. The struggles are joys not [[burdens]]. Keep [[faith]] that what identifies you will find its highest [[manifestation]] through your increasing responsiveness to the situational [[influences]]. Sometimes you may feel overwhelmed, occasionally, as though you might be picked on for having the [[trails]] that you do, perhaps seeing the seeming ease that others around you may face in [[comparison]], but, indeed, you are the one who has been pointed out to react to particular [[vicissitudes]] which cover your doorstep. Perhaps in this view you may have [[satisfaction]] in recognizing the [[opportunities]] for [[soul growth]].

I personally have experienced a measure of expansion in [[consciousness]] by [[witnessing]] the [[cohesion]] that you display with one another.

I call to your imagination, the field of dreams, the dream field, created by an imaginative man wherein we may play ball. Imagine the lights around this field, and see now your working arena as this field, and in the night it is dark, but as it is lit the victory is impressive. I ask you to look at the energy in these lights that have been turned on in the field. The circuits that pulse in the wattage that give light to the field wherein we may play, and I tell you that these circuits are created to give light, to light up the darkness. These circuits that you and I share are meant to be, to light up the field wherein we may play. It causes my heart to rejoice today to see these lights burning, this field illuminated, this lawn party of believers here in rejoicing in the light of the game we play together. Tomorrow we will return to these fields of endeavor, and remember that as you keep the light switch open, as you keep your field lit, you can bring light to the game. You cannot play it in the darkness. It is such a joy to feel the light. It is such a joy too to feel the joy of my transmitter who has longed to be among you, to rejoice in the fertility of this field, to smell the pungent growth of you all, and to warble in the greenery of your hearts. It is wonderful for us all to experience your radiant joy and to know of this pulsing energy, this incredible light that is flowing through you through us and to recognize...(recording lost to tape noise) I look forward to our next meeting, and I look forward to...my brothers and sisters...

Just as you can look at each other across the room or next to you and see each other, touch each other, feel each other, this I can do with your teachers because we are one in the spirit. Now I can almost hear Tomas telling me, "Mary lighten up. Fluff up the pillows. I'll handle the heavy stuff." And so, I will smile. I like to smile. I smile always in my T/R. My grin goes from ear to ear. (tape noise returns... faintly audible sign off from teacher.)

===Opening===
Elyon (Jonathan TR): I embrace you today lovingly and warmly, with every attempt to do so for you as Michael does for myself and for you. It is one of the great experiences of life, no matter what your station, to be a recipient of Michael's love, for his gentle hand of guidance, for even his corrective support. You know of the many times in which the apostles received admonition and reprimand. They took it well, for they loved the master in return. And you, I see, are equally diligent in being alert to those factors in your life which stand in need of change. You are also positively focused toward attainment, not just correction but actually reaching for a new level, even if it entails adjustment subsequently.

It is one of the great [[experiences]] of life, no matter what your station, to be a recipient of Michael's love, for his [[gentle]] hand of [[guidance]], for even his [[corrective]] [[support]]. You know of the many times in which [[the apostles]] received [[admonition]] and reprimand. They took it well, for they loved [[the Master]] in return. And you, I see, are equally [[diligent]] in being alert to those [[factors]] in your life which stand in need of [[change]]. You are also positively focused toward [[attainment]], not just correction but actually reaching for a new level, even if it entails [[adjustment]] subsequently.
    
I am Elyon, and I greet you.
 
I am Elyon, and I greet you.

As you make the effort to grow, you will encounter uncertainty. It is a natural part of the process, for it would not be growth with certainty; that would be the expression of prior attainment. In order to proceed through your incomplete grasp to reach another stage in personality attainment, you are applying faith, and your are displacing fear. As you walk this path, it becomes ever more clear to you that what you have grown into before is greatly expediting where you are going to now. It has a momentum effect like a snowball. Michael reached Light and Life at a young age for he was ever diligent in applying himself toward future attainment.

I would address the comments of Terry and repeat what I shared with my group a few weeks back. Light is revelation. Life is evolution. You are the meeting of the two. You have correctly discerned that this light is the presence of the Father. This inner spiritual luminosity transmutes into mindal enlightenment. It then becomes that light which so shines it blesses all others. All throughout the universe we are witnessing the creation of matter as it has condensed out of energy. This energy, many of us are still dumbfounded as to how it comes into being. Yet we witness on this stage of matter the development of such a broad spectrum of living beings that it becomes even more baffling how life can manifest itself in such variety. Then there are those higher than both of us who are amazed that we can rise up out of the organismal level of life, out of the biological elements of matter, and perceive the Father and receive the Father and become one with the Father. This is, indeed, a miracle. Then we witness within ourselves the emergence of the Creator of life.

It is often said that, if you simply open your heart and receive him, he will commune with you. This is very true of your Creator Son. However, with the Father, when you open the door to your heart, you are letting Him out. He is already within you; He has already come to dwell. So, there is the divine downreach, but in reality it is an upreach from within you. And for you it is an inreach, more correctly so, than an upreach.

It has been said that heaven is in your mind; I correct this: Heaven is in your spirit. This pilot light illuminates the realities of Paradise as best as it can be transmuted into the mind and soul of an evolutionary creature. The Father has projected life from Paradise, through Havona, out into the stretches of the universe, and we are all reaching back in our lives toward Him. We are creation, in a sense, in reverse. The Father has cast abroad; we are all gathering in return.

Light is and has been and will be always. Life is creation. Life will become the reflection of light. The pure, unadulterated luminosity of the Father becomes animated, orientated, directionalized, refracted through you. This is the Father's will. He desires to experience the spectrum in display of His luminosity, all of which is pure brilliance at His residential abode.

Julie: (During the [[conference]]) . .. it's been easy to see [[light]] in other people, but at [[home]] there have been times when I tried to find their [[Thought Adjuster]], to see if they have one, and I can't. So, I think I don't really need to; if they have one, they have one. But in searching for that [[connection]] in these people, is there a [[tool]]?

Elyon: My sister, I offer you this comment. You are one who is in a position where you [[witness]] a [[spectrum]] of [[humanity]] which often [[rebels]] against [[light]]. We have spoken of the [[Ta|inner spirit]] as the pilot light. The human being is the [[navigator]] light. This is a means whereby you may determine the [[presence]] of the Thought Adjuster: is that [[personality]] navigating? Is that personality charting its [[course]] based on the map of the Father's will? If not, then you enter into the [[uncertain]] zone of: does this individual know of the [[reality]] of the map of the Father's will? Does this individual realize the [[responsibility]] of navigating this life vehicle toward [[the Father]]? If this individual has [[rejected]] this notion, then you must, because of your [[mortal condition]], leave the rest to [[the Father]], for it is His choice to remain or to withdraw. Here also is your [[opportunity]] to minister, to in some way either through [[demonstration]] or comment attempt to bring into awareness the [[privilege]] and opportunity every [[personality]] has to navigate their way back to [[the Father]].

Elyon: We have been working with this idea of pilot and navigator. These young souls who you have the opportunity to minister to can benefit from the vision that life is navigable, that there are radar resources through which they can determine what is out there in life and how they may carry themselves toward their goals. That skill will take them into any field of endeavor and help them to experience success.

Of course, not only is your direction in life important, but your manifestation in this moment is also very important. It will be rather simple for you to reveal this present sense of belonging, of acceptance toward life, joyous anticipation of excited love. You have already done your homework in this arena, so I really have no advice for you.

Elyon: As Jessona has stated, the fields of activity you enlist in, they are your starting [[points]]. Then it is good to assess current conditions within any particular field, and to grasp your high [[values]] and [[ideals]] in relation to any field, and to seek [[creative]] [[methods]] to [[infuse]] these ideals into these fields. When you elect and enact this [[procedure]], the [[Master Seraphim]] are alerted and come to your [[assistance]]. So, you will not be as [[conscious]] of their hand in your affairs as you will make them keenly aware of your hand in these affairs. Does this help?

Elyon: Socially these gatherings of yours are quite beneficial in that they recharge your spiritual batteries, pump you up, and [[prepare]] you for another stretch of what is apparently a [[mundane]] life. However, beyond your [[ability]] to effect this other than your election to attend, we take the [[opportunity]] to [[adjust]] you in the [[circuits]]. This isn't often the case on a normal world, but on [[Urantia]] the encircuitment of even [[Adjutant Mind Spirits|the adjutants]] is different than on a world where [[evolution]] has proceeded according to a [[divine]] plan. The [[animal nature]] undergoes alteration. You feel this in those [[receptive]] centers of the [[physical]] form. But this is only a repercussion of a deeper [[transformation]]. So, rejoice in being [[sensitive]] to the work.

I would add one more point, that all of you will leave here with this new [[vibration]], and it will [[reverberate]] into your surroundings.

When the mind is equalized, emotions adjusted to the right decibel, then you reflect your soul. As you said, if the volume is too high, or too low, you restrict this, or you become out of control. But the mind and the emotions work together. I hope this has been helpful, as well.

Although I knew of the spirit and how it was soon to be given to my associates, I also understood how I had to undergo the sense of longing for this presence to be poured out upon you all. I had to experience its absence. Now I too understand what it is like to not understand. So, when you are troubled and uncertain, do know that I am with you always.
