Elyon (Jonathan TR): I am Elyon here with you again today. It has been insightful observing your discussion. It reveals to me your perspective; however, more importantly it reveals to me your direction, not only what you see but how you plan on applying your view of truth in the form of service.  

 

Topics:

Today I am going to speak some about divine contact, for that is the prime, most important action you could ever make. It is one that greatly impacts all other actions you could make. Short of reminding you again of stillness, I will stress the importance of service as a means for increasing your sensitivity of the presence of the divine.

You have spoken today about prayer and healing as you have reflected upon the teachings given by Jessona and Rayson on healing. Your desire to be involved in the energies, your willingness to be a channel for these energies, is service.

Harold: I'm becoming aware of being more spontaneous in our ability to react to situations, allowing that flow to become more pure. How do we keep that spontaneity from being personal rather than divine connection?

* Elyon: I understand that you are seeking a sensitivity to the spontaneous flow of the divine in your life, and becoming more keenly aware of when you may seek a spontaneity that is perhaps distracting or disruptive of the divine flow.

Harold: That's correct.

Harold: That's correct.

* Elyon: This will remain a challenge for all creatures for all time, for it is the very mechanism put in place by God that stimulates growth, that encourages discernment. It creates the initial prayer, "Not my will but Your will be done". And it will result eventually in the final exclamation, "It is my will that Your will be done." Until fusion this will be a greater extreme, the direction and impulse of self and the guidance and flow of spirit. To make some attempt to aid you in this process I would point out that you will continue to have spontaneous occurrences that are initiated by self, some of which will not be counter to the will of God. Some may be resisting or thwarting, but the Father resides with you, and, when you develop the ability to allow that spontaneous directing of the Father to occur concurrently with your own spontaneous actions, the two will come into harmony, and you will increase your ability to discern the value or worthiness of those spontaneous acts that are self-generated. I must, however, insert that the spontaneity of the divine action only appears spontaneous to the creature but is well regulated and divinely directed.

The human personality, when wrestling with the constraints and parameters of life, is able to, to some extent, gain freedom from those contingencies that force action. You can ignore all pressures and choose any action. The divine has one intention for you, and that is your ascension to the Father. This motive which is the will of God will seek all avenues to make this approach to you and lead you homeward.

Harold: The impulse to enter the hardware store, is that within the realm of the angels to put that concept in our minds? What capabilities do they have for influencing what we do?

Harold: The impulse to enter the hardware store, is that within the realm of the angels to put that concept in our minds? What capabilities do they have for influencing what we do?

* Elyon: The seraphim do have the capability of nudging you in this manner, but not all impulses to make that turn to enter that hardware store are of angelic origin, for, as they observe your journey to the grocery store and as they note that you perceive the hardware store is open and the impulse rises to check it out, they scan the store for those in need and then will apply the nudge to open conversation, to make eye contact and smile, some manner as such wherein the ministry may take place. So, though one impulse may not have been theirs, they will provide impulses based upon your own self-generated impulses. Of course, we could back this up to the point you even felt like going to the grocery store, and they lined up the impulse to turn into the hardware store. These are conditions difficult to discern, but indeed the angels are always working, whatever turn is made.

Evelyn: Do they ever give us that regret feeling afterward, that "I should have spoken to that person"? The impulse didn't occur at the time but afterwards you think maybe you should have done something. Is that self-generated, or does an angel lead those thoughts?

* Elyon: It is indicative of your conscience, your own sensitivity to the higher values that you hold regarding ministry and service. They will not beat you up by amplifying that sensitivity. However, you are now more likely in a subsequent scenario to respond as you wish you had, and they will intensify that feeling, for they wish to work positively rather than negatively. As I was saying how the angelically applied impulse may be hard to discern from your own personally supplied impulse, regardless of either one, always is the divine within you seeking contact with every creature. Whether you proceed in one direction or another, guided or not, the Father will seek to make contact and uplift His creatures. So you have three mechanisms at work, the ever-present drive of God for contact, the variable steerings of angels, and your own free will. You can trust the Father to be steadfast in His intention, and you will have difficulty discerning the origin of the variables that take place throughout your day that are of origin in your own choosing or the actions of celestial ministers bearing upon your life. We have at times laughed at your attributing of a spiritually insightful comment to the contact reception of a teacher when it was your own well composed utterance. Yet your very expression that it must have been a teacher through you who spoke signals to us your sensitivity toward celestial ministry. It is a way of saying, "I am willing to receive", and thereby you do receive. Whether we receive credit that is due or not, or whether you do not give yourself credit that is due, in the end is only a passing curiosity, for the goal is the enlightenment of the truth. The goal is greater sensitivity to God; the goal is ministry and service to your fellows. This is the essence of Michael's teaching, and it is our guideline as well.

Harold: The Urantia movement is very grassroots and study group oriented. Are there plans for centralizing a training center for teachers of The Urantia Book? Is this advisable?

* Elyon: All revelations to this planet of a global context had their centers, those you have read about in the revelation. The efforts of Michael as Jesus, even though there was no formal physical location for his teachings, likewise was in an abstract sense headquartered in his apostolic corps and evangelistic group. It had a centralization effect about his being. The current epochal revelation at this time is loose in its organization. There will not be a central teaching headquarters in the near future, for that phase of the fifth epochal revelation is yet a ways down the road. What needs to occur now is the compensatory teachings that were lost by the failures of the other epochal headquarters. When that is better established the new centralized teaching corps will begin. It will not be so much linked to this epochal event; it will be the conclusion of the efforts of all the preceding epochal outreaches to this world. It will replace what was lost and should have been here all along.

Our Correcting Time mission of Michael is only an intervening phase, for we, as you have noted, do not headquarter ourselves through any one of your groups. We share ourselves freely among you. We likewise are taking a grassroots approach. It is the upliftment of the consciousness of mankind that must proceed before overt institutions are put into effect. This being said however, I would not dissuade any human beings so inspired to establish educational centers, spiritual retreats. As you do this you develop the structures and the skills at operating such structures which will be of benefit to the higher administrators at a later date who will walk among you and reestablish the headquarters the world was intended to have. Does this help?

Harold: Yes. I infer that the current churches will someday be unified, and that is the structure that will be used. Is that right?

Harold: Yes. I infer that the current churches will someday be unified, and that is the structure that will be used. Is that right?

* Elyon: To some extent there will be unification. To another extent there will be the falling away of the existing structures as the new one presents itself. But this new structure will not be acceptable without having these earlier structures in place that brought the evolution of the understanding of a divine headquarters on this world. The Vatican will not become the headquarters nor will Mecca. These are the human efforts to do what Caligastia should have done. But the world needs a capital if it is to belong in normalcy within the system operations. There must be a place wherein the administrators of this world may conduct business. Today you do not see it, but in the years to come the human beings will be included in the program. Until then we applaud your efforts to create such structures, such headquarters, be it your churches, your non-profit organizations.

It is important at this point in time for the grassroots operations of your Urantia movement, for we need to broadly distribute the teachings of all those wonderful beings who contributed to the Papers you have. It is too early for you to centralize around a doctrinal presentation, for there isn't enough population educated in the teachings to provide healthy counterbalance, critical guidance. This revelation initially begun with a book will be followed by personal appearances. However, to reach the entire world and not merely one sect of believers, there must be a greater distribution of the teachings. That is why you will not have any one of your teachers appear before you, either, for their mandate, given by me, is for you to take the teachings to your fellows. Today the central headquarters of this revelation outreach is intangible. I say to you this day, however, you are included in the administrative staff.

I have spent much of my time here on this world acting for Michael in place of the Planetary Prince, and I can report that I am very pleased with the progress being made. Though you may look about your world and see much chaos, hatred, and disruption, all seemingly bent on furthering narrow causes and not helping the world as a whole, these are small incidences among the long range goals of all who serve with me and Michael. Each one of you who diligently applies yourself in any small way to the promulgation of light and the promotion of love is doing service for me and for all assigned to the task of reinstating Urantia into the normal circuits of the system.

* Sharmon: This is Sharmon. Greetings to you. I have been given this opportunity to speak because, being one of your close brethren, cousin midwayer, I want to emphasize once again that we stand pledged and ready to help you at all times to make this world better. I am happy to see ones like you so aware of the larger context of planet and systems of planets on this world. It is gradually developing all over this planet. We can see it, for we can travel it quite freely. In my early days it was quite easy to, by percent, have many people sensitive to a divine overcare in the form of a planetary headquarters. Adam and Eve did not have the population that is on this world today to reach out to. Now the numbers are great, but it is heartening to note that by percentage many people are waking up to the greater picture that we have been attempting to give to you all this time. Keep it up, brothers and sisters! We are behind you one hundred percent. Where you are uncertain, fret not, for we did make our mistakes and we have recovered, and you will too. Our captains are experts, and we have grown to trust their guidance to note our doubts and to utilize them in order that we may make adjustments. Do not ignore your doubts; they are adjusting in quality. Do not ever squelch your hopes, for they are catapulting in your accomplishing what we all so greatly long to do, and that is to bring this world to that settled, pristine, balanced Age of Light and Life. I am notified that I may close this meeting if you are content at this hour. Otherwise we may continue.
