Vicki:  Dear [[Father]], we gather today in [[recognition]] of the [[love]], [[guidance]] and [[generosity]] you give to us.  And we ask once again, that you [[surround]] us and [[encircuit]] us with [[truth]] and [[light]], as we seek the [[wisdom]] and [[foresight]] of our [[Magisterial Son]], [[Monjoronson]].  May this session provide [[comfort]] and [[insight]] to our fellow [[brothers and sisters]].  We extend our [[gratitude]] to [[Christ]] [[Michael]], [[Nebadonia]] and all [[unseen]] [[friends]] who [[assist]] us in this [[journey]].  [[Amen]].

Dear Monjoronson, you have gently reached down to me and extended the hand of [[guidance]] and [[preparation]] for [[events]] not only in the life of our [[audience]], but in my own [[personal]] life, and I am deeply [[grateful]] to you for this.  What was once an awkward and [[surreal]] [[experiment]] of sessions, now feels more like a [[conversation]] with a [[wise]] and dear [[friend]].  These are vulnerable, delicate times for me, but I am [[feeling]] that if I open my [[heart]] to you, that others may benefit in the [[future]], if they too [[experience]] such a [[profound]] [[loss]].  So, I am approaching you this session with an [[opportunity]] to [[assist]] us, with perhaps a deeper [[understanding]] of this period of [[time]], following [[death]] for both the deceased and the living, I would like to have the [[option]] of determining what becomes [[public]] [[record]] and what may be withheld as our [[private]] [[conversation]].  I did not [[research]], so I may be asking questions that have already been answered.  I ask for you to excuse me on this, this time.  If you [[agree]] to this, I would [[appreciate]] some [[guidance]] in this direction.

MONJORONSON:  Good morning, this is Monjoronson.  I definitely offer you the [[opportunity]] to [[discern]] and determine what is included in the published transcript and what is not.  It is your [[choice]] and it is a choice which we [[respect]] and abide by.  The [[information]] that others need to hear will be [[shared]], and that which is for you [alone] will be shared with you.  You have my [[sincere]] [[condolences]], my [[support]] and my [[love]] for you, as you go through this [[time]].  You see, dear one, that our [[message]] is for all of [[earth]] and its [[population]], and for each [[individual]], as you are now [[experiencing]], that this transposes from the general to the specific, from the global [[population]] to you [[individually]], and this truly is the [[message]] of Christ [[Michael]], and that this [[work]] that we do would be for nothing if one [[person]] were lost, or [[deceived]] by it.  So our utmost [[effort]] is to appeal to the [[individual]], to the [[truth]], and to the [[transcending]] [[truth]], that abides by each [[individual]] along their [[ascendant]] [[journey]].

Vicki:  I do [[understand]] this, and I have felt throughout the sessions, with every [[topic]], I was taken deeper within for my own [[personal]] [[growth]].  To be [[honest]], it’s why for a time, I avoided a few [[topics]].  Actually, there is no sense in avoiding, because what will be, will be, I believe.  Am I right?

MONJORONSON:  You are most correct, that you are a [[unique]] [[individual]], but the [[facts]] of life that occur in your life, occur in the lives of others as well, and throughout the [[population]] of 7 billion people, there are so many commonalities, that there is no need for [[embarrassment]] or for chagrin about your [[foibles]], as they are [[suffered]] by most people, already.

MONJORONSON:  Yes, he can [[hear]] you, not as your [[voice]], but as your [[presence]].  You are attempting to [[speak]] through the [[morontia]]l [[consciousness]], and you have a “partial [[vocabulary]]” for that, and an [[inherent]] [[capacity]] as you have grown and [[ascended]] in your [[mortal]] lifetime, and your mortal [[consciousness]].

MONJORONSON:  Yes, I would be glad to, as well as Christ [[Michael]] and [[Nebadonia]].  We are “here with you”—not just “for you”—but “with you.”  We are a [[presence]] among you, and that is how we [[wish]] to be, and I [[eventually]] will be among you in the [[flesh]].  So this [[practice]] of [[being]] “with you” in [[consciousness]] and in [[presence]] as an [[energetic]] [[form]] gives me [[opportunity]] to more fully become acquainted with you and all others, and for you to begin to [[understand]] and know me and [[feel]] my [[presence]].

MONJORONSON:  It has given me an [[opportunity]] to vicariously become more real in myself as a becoming [[mortal]].  My [[descension]] is becoming more complete, as I fully [[integrate]] and [[understand]] the [[emotions]] that you [[feel]] of loss and [[grief]], and of [[love]] and endearment, and [[commitment]].  These are [[learning]] [[environments]] and learning venues for me to [[appreciate]], and to what you might say, “[[practice]],” for my [[eventual]] [[appearance]].

Vicki:  Thank you.  There are certain things, Monjoronson, that have been imprinted in my [[mind]], through my life, and a couple I’m [[struggling]] with—and I [[think]] they’re common sayings—so I’d like to [[share]] them and my [[reactions]] to them for the [[audience]].  One is:  “We entered this life alone, and in turn, we leave it alone.”  Now that I [[realize]] that my [[earthly]] life with my [[husband]], Michael, has ended, I [[struggle]] with the finality and the [[meaning]] of these [[words]].  I [[wonder]], what will become of this [[relationship]] in our [[ascendant career]]?  How will we [[relate]] to one another on the other side, so to speak?  And I feel tremendous loss, and though I know our lives will go on, will there still be this [[marriage]], this [[connection]], this same bond that we felt for one another on [[earth]], or will it be [[different]]?

MONJORONSON:  It will be similar, and it will be [[different]], at the same time.  First of all, it will be a great [[reunion]] that you will have when you cross over and you are greeted by your loved ones.  After your “assembly” in the [[morontia]] receiving worlds, you will become part of an [[ascending]] class, of which your [[husband]] is a part now.  Yes, you will have a special [[relationship]], as there was a common [[shared]] [[history]] of [[memories]] and [[experiences]], from which you both will [[learn]] and can draw on for your [[lessons]] in your classes in the [[mansion world]] schools.  You will be classmates; you will be as though you were in a hallway in a high school, who are boyfriend/girlfriend; you will have that [[connection]] of oneness, of [[shared]] [[relationship]].  You will have commonalities that are peculiar and special to the [[two]] of you, but nonetheless which are also [[shared]] by billions of others in the schools at that [[time]], from their own lifetimes in their [[earthly]] [[experiences]].  You will surely [[recognize]] each other, and your [[commitment]] for this lifetime has been complete; your [[commitment]] will be [[shared]] in the [[future]] for your life of [[ascendant]] [[being]], and your [[commitment]] to your [[individual]] [[ascension]] [[plan]], that is [[shared]] with others and to your joint [[gratefulness]] to Christ [[Michael]] for having made your lives [[possible]].

Vicki:  I’d just like to say at this point, Monjoronson, I’ve noticed tremendous [[transformations]] in people that were close to me through this recent [[grieving]] [[process]].  I saw those who I had [[shared]] these Q & A sessions with coming on board with a new sense of acknowledgement and [[belief]], and I saw tremendous movement of [[unity]] toward one another.  I don’t know if you want to comment on that, but I felt that it was so ''beautiful''!  These [[insights]] were coming to me quickly and very early in the [[process]], and as I watched this [[growth]] occur around me, I felt it should be part of our session today.

MONJORONSON:  Yes, you and your [[husband]] had a [[wonderfully]] [[healthy]] and [[developing]] [[relationship]] by having those spaces, those open times where you were not in constant [[contact]], where you gave each other permission to be apart, and knowing that in your being apart you were not at a loss without the other, that you were not rejected, but that you were given [[opportunity]] to [[experience]] yourself, as yourself, out of [[relationship]], but knowing that the relationship was safe, otherwise.  You do not need to worry about this, or concern yourself.  Know that [[Michael]] in many ways has now given you a final open [[space]] in which you can fully [[explore]] yourself to the utmost.  You have a permission to now know yourself in ways which you did not.  Not that you need to be [[monastic]] in any way, but that you have now an [[opportunity]] for [[reverential]] reverie, a time of [[reverie]] that you can [[experience]] repeatedly, in an ongoing way.  Know that his [[support]] is with you; know that you are given support by your [[unseen]] helpers in ways which are also [[intimate]] and distant.  Enjoy these and take advantage of the [[contact]] as you wish.

MONJORONSON:  We are very pleased that you had the courage to engage us today in these questions, and listen to the answers.  This provides you with a much more solid basis for moving ahead.  It also speaks to the trust that you have in us, as a group, and as an extended material/immaterial family, that this trust expresses itself during times of grief, as well as in times of joy, and that truly, there is no separation between us.  Thank you and good day.
