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.

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]]?

*[[Plans]] to aid humans during [[Catastrophism|cataclysms]] and [[death]]s
 
   
 
   
 
MONJORONSON:  Yes, you are [[correct]] in your assessment and your analysis of what occurred.  This is a small example of what we are [[planning]] for your global [[population]] as it [[experiences]] these [[cataclysms]], which decimate your global [[population]], that those who remain will acknowledge and [[understand]] that there is a [[benevolent]], pervasive, enduring, [[permanent]] [[commitment]] to them, to [[assist]] them in reclaiming their world, that the good news of this era is that there is [[oneness]], and in oneness there is [[strength]].  Acknowledging that there is something more to life than just the next big [[movie]] or the next big [[game]] on television, or the next car; that you will find that [[work]] that you are doing, and the work of other [[light workers]], whether they are of the [[Teaching Mission]], [[Magisterial Mission]], or the many hundreds of other [[spiritually]] infused movements around the world, there will be acknowledgement that there is [[reason]] and [[purpose]] among them, and that it is time to now bring about the [[conscious]] [[evolution]] of your world.  We are striving to [[assist]] you and your [[friends]], whether they are your [[neighbors]] or your [[family]], or your [[associates]], in coming to [[awareness]] that ‘we are legitimate’ and that we have [[perspectives]] for your world, which no [[mortal]] has [[capacity]] to [[appreciate]] or [[effectively]] [[express]] in their world.  Do you [[understand]]?

Vicki:  Exactly.  The more I’m involved in this [[process]], validating and legitimizing their [[spirit]] [[presence]] and [[influence]] for myself, the more I [[realize]] that [[things]] are well [[planned]].  I guess that’s all I can say.

Vicki:  Monjoronson, though this may seem a bit out of the ordinary, there have been times when [[humor]] provided a [[wonderful]] relief for me in the last couple of weeks.  As you probably already know, I have been [[blessed]] with a [[family]] who can be somewhat irreverent at times, but who [[share]] much [[humor]] [[together]].  It had a tremendous [[healing]] [[effect]] upon me.  Would you like to speak to this?

Vicki:  And of course my sister, who is with me here, and has been by my side through all of this, and I am so grateful for her, is pretty gifted in this.  So I’ve been fortunate enough to have that [[experience]]

Vicki:  I have one more question or comment, and it is about “moving on.”  In his [[book]], the [[author]], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kahlil_Gibran Khalil Gibran], suggested to couples in [[relationships]], “Let there be spaces in your togetherness.”  This has been a [[guiding]] piece of [[wisdom]] that my [[husband]] and I have [[grown]] into, as our [[relationship]] [[matured]].  And now, in facing this grieving period and loss, I’m [[thinking]] that this may serve me in my [[ability]] to move on.  Could you comment on this?

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.
