It is my [[wish]] that [[Ham]] speak to the assemblage of souls at [http://urantia-book.org/archive/newsletters/mm_fall99.htm#invade IC99]. Let all come who [[choose]] to [[listen]]. There is great [[purpose]] to this gathering at your [[conference]]. Many will come to this conference to [[unite]] and affirm their [[belief]] in the [[integrity]] and [[beauty]] of the [[Urantia Book]]. Many will come to reestablish [[companionship]] and [[camaraderie]] among their fellow believers. Many will come to advance the cause of [[truth, beauty, and goodness]], on [[your planet]]. All will be there with [[sincerity]]. The Teacher, Ham, has a [[message]] for all who have ears to hear and eyes to see. That is all that we ask of our [[audience]]--a desire to hear this message from the Teacher, Ham, with [[sincerity]] of [[heart]]. Let those who feel an affiliation to [[our Mission]] support this proposal as best they can. All who wish to refrain from [[efforts]] toward this goal are as dearly loved as those who choose to bring about this [[event]]. We have no favorites among our precious [[students]].

This, then, is the task set before you. To present to the [http://urantia-book.org/archive/newsletters/mm_fall99.htm#invade IC99 committee] a proposal that a large gathering room be provided for this one hour [[event]], where all who choose may come to hear Ham's words. At all other times at this [[conference]] we [[encourage]] you to [[participate]] in whatever way [[appeals]] to you. Any efforts made by [[Teaching Mission]] participants to express their [[belief]] in, and enjoyment of, this Mission are [[gratefully]] [[appreciated]] by those of us who serve you from on high. There is no need to be concerned that this request for a room for this special assembly is [[offensive]] to some who attend this conference. We wish them well, and request that they show [[patience]] to their spiritual brothers and sisters in this matter. Even [[Jesus]] was given [[142:1|his moment in the temple]], despite the misgivings of the [[Sanhedrin]]. Let this matter be placed in the Hands of God in your [[hearts]] and [[minds]], now, my children.

I [[respect]] that [[Rebecca]]’s transmissions usurped the [[dynamic]] of your [[debate]]. Let yourselves [[trust]] that there was [[purpose]] to this, also. We are here to [[lead]] you into effective situations for our ministry to spread to others. This was an [[opportunity]] which we wished to [[exploit]] for good reasons, and we did not see you, as a group, involving us in your discussions. There is so much more to [[this Mission]], my children, than you can now [[perceive]]. We [[recognize]] and respect your [[reticence]] in “forcing the issue” with those who do not yet see the [[validity]] of our work, but we do not [[choose]] to be hampered by this reticence, now. You who show good will toward others in your [[efforts]] to advance our cause will allow us the [[diplomacy]] we need in this delicate [[negotiation]].

Hi everyone!

Hi everyone!

I felt "nudged" to transmit late last night, after I had gotten into bed. So, I got up, took my [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flower_essences flower essences], prayed, and sat down at the computer. As I did so, I [[honestly]] don't feel that I had an "agenda" regarding a transmission, other than the thought that I would probably hear from

Olfana. Instead, almost as soon as my hands [[touched]] the keyboard, I began to hear "Prince Machiventa" over and over in my head.

I have joked over the past few days, in [[conversations]] with TH and LB, that any [[TR]] has got to be "pretty nuts or pretty gutsy" to jump into this fray about [[Rebecca]]'s transmission by providing their own transmission regarding this [[topic]]....well, I'll leave it to you to [[decide]] if TH and I are "nutsy or gutsy." :-) All I can say is that I did the best job I could to hear the words [[clearly]].

As for Rebecca's transmissions regarding [[Ham]] at the [http://urantia-book.org/archive/newsletters/mm_fall99.htm#invade IC99 conference]...having just spent time with Rebecca at Nashville, I decided that I liked her very much, and we got along well. My [[instincts]] tell me that she is very [[sincere]] in her TR'ing efforts, and Tim and I got to see her "close up" because we went to one of the Nashville group's [[meetings]] the day after the conference. My personal [[opinion]] of her transmissions regarding IC99 is that they are valid, but I don't feel that I have any strong investment in convincing others of that. I say all of this in order to give you some background here, as to my frame of mind when I received this transmission from Prince Machiventa.

When I called TH earlier today, and she read me the [[beautiful]] transmission that she had just received from Machiventa, I was [[humbled]] and awed at the way this whole episode is working out. Thea suggested that we post our transmissions together, which I think is a great idea. So, here is my transmission, and please feel free to ask me any questions, express any doubts, or share any comments, that you wish.
