MACHIVENTA MELCHIZEDEK: Well it is that you have all gathered [[together]] tonight to [[discuss]] [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=1992-02-01-Ham_To_General_Council these events], although for myself and many other [[entities]], we have heard enough of the events and [[personalities]] involved in [[the Brotherhood]]. You do not [[realize]] how little they add to your [[experience]].

There is no [[Chosen People|exclusive group]]. The teachings on your [[planet]] with an [[esoteric]] bent are the result of the [[natural]] human [[tendency]] to [[elitism]], and we find that elitism is [[anathema]]. Creatures of my order consider it a promotion to be posted further and further away from [[the Father]]. He has [[expressed]] great [[trust]] in us, and yet our positions are increasingly lowly. Among you all gathered here tonight, we ask that you extend yourselves [[honestly]] and [[charitably]] to those you meet in your daily [[activities]]. Let [[the Father]]'s light shine forth through your [[acts]]. The Father's love is the [[light]] that [[illuminates]] the [[Darkness|night]]. There is no blackness which can withstand its [[power]]. The Father's love fills all the empty places, and that light is brought forth to your lives just as it was in the [[perfect]] example of [[Jesus]] of [[Nazareth]]. You cannot do wrong to follow his example.

===='''''[[Urantia Movement]]'''''====
 +
You people gathered here tonight are counted. You are counted in [[heaven]]. You are known to [[Michael]]. He takes [[personal]] interest in the [[development]] of this [[group]]. It was not originally foreseen that these things should [[develop]] in this fashion, yet they have. In [[the Father]]'s [[symphony]], under His [[guidance]] and flexibility, wonders occur. He is the [[supreme]] artist and so it has come to pass that your group will be the vehicle, even the model. They wish you to [[devote]] yourselves to the task of establishing the [[mechanism]] by which new people may be brought into the [[movement]] to learn the teaching of [[Urantia Book]]. We wish for them to develop in the loving [[harmony]] and privacy of this kind of instruction, with a support network of people they may [[trust]] and withstand the slings and arrows of those who are nonbelievers or those whose view of things have spoiled. We will maintain [[privacy]] for some time yet, but things will change, and I know that certain of your group will be relieved that we will maintain this privacy. Certain others will be relieved that we will not threaten the [[family]] feeling achieved through much [[effort]] in this group. I, myself, find that this family feeling developed here is a rare thing--a rare thing I [[assure]] you. This group gathered here constitutes the Brotherhood. Do not concern yourself further with the [[events]] of those [[the Fellowship|organizations]]. Michael has taken note of all the [[factual]] situations, all the [[factors]] and currents which bear upon your [[efforts]] here. He will accommodate. The [[necessary]] tools will be provided. It is not [[necessary]] that you tangle with or strive within an [[organization]] which seeks to [[control]] or manipulate this teaching and [[Urantia text|this new revelation]].

===='''''[[Service]]'''''====

Those groups presently [[established]] are coming along well. New groups will be established. We thank you for your fine example and your excellent record of [[participation]] and enthusiastic [[cooperation]] which you have shown up to this very hour. There is not a request that we have made which you have bypassed. You have [[sincerely]] and whole-heartedly [[embraced]] all of our requests, suggestions and demands and we thank you for it. We thank you. If it was not for you, our work would be much more [[difficult]] to achieve. I think it is a fine thing that you all sit here tonight and [[listen]] to these [[criticisms]] and yet not one of you feels disturbed over these [[events]]. You even laugh. It shows the [[growth]] in spirit power that you all have [[achieved]]. We embrace you. Therefore I commission you to be about [[the Father]]'s business in the fashion in which you have freely discussed and determined to be a good and serviceable [[method]]. I commission you to go among your [[friends]] and invite people to come in and hear [[the word]] of [[the Father]] revealed in [[love]], not dictated, not filtered through the mouths of the [[priests]]. Let them hear the [[thoughts]] of [[the Father]]. Let them see the [[creation]] that He has caused to roll forth. Let them feel His love and concern brought to [[realization]] in their own [[hearts]] and their own lives, without the dictates and [[interference]] of mortal men. They will soon see. I commission you to go out among the rocks, into the scrub, find the people who wish to hear these [[words]]. You will know them. You know many already. Bring them [[home]]. Bring them home to [[the Father]]'s [[family]] gathered here tonight. Show them the [[message]] of [[love]] and [[opportunity]] and hopefulness that is [[inspired]] by these [[events]] which you have [[witnessed]] here in your lives. They will see. I commission you. Go forth in his name. I, [[Machiventa]] [[Melchizedek]], say so. So be it. God bless you all. You will live forever in His loving [[embrace]]. We have but a brief time together, you and I, and it is good that it should be so.
