Let us perceive truth as melody and the accompaniments to truth being those chords that create harmony. In the case of truth such harmonious chords are those such as wisdom and understanding, knowledge, insight. But where we have over time discussed these elements that harmonize with truth, to surround truth with greater orchestration, expanding it such that it is attractive to a great variety of individuals, I wish to talk about the strings on the harp of God that create the harmonies.

Let us [[perceive]] [[truth]] as [[melody]] and the accompaniments to truth being those [[chords]] that create [[harmony]]. In the case of truth such harmonious chords are those such as [[wisdom]] and [[understanding]], [[knowledge]], [[insight]]. But where we have over time [[discussed]] these elements that harmonize with truth, to surround truth with greater orchestration, expanding it such that it is attractive to a great variety of [[individuals]], I wish to talk about the strings on the [[harp of God]] that create the harmonies.

When you desire to be of service to your fellows on this planet and to the spiritual supervisors of this world, you are of course desirous of expressing those revelations that you have been privileged to grasp so that others may benefit from the same rewards of such perspective on reality. Each of you has experienced the frustration of witnessing that the information that is conveyed is either more than can be believed in or comprehended at any one point in time. Let us consider that these strings on the harp of God are all the spirit ministries that are available to every individual that you encounter. Let us consider these strings as the angel attendants, the Mother Spirit's adjutant influences, and the like. Michael taught that it was a blessed thing to hunger and thirst for righteousness. Knowing full well the spirit influences that are present for everyone and knowing, likewise, that what you may convey to another individual may be more bounty than the banquet table can hold, the best approach is to stimulate that hunger and that thirst, to foster the aromas. With the presence of the bestowal spirits you can demonstrate love, even wisdom, joy, and your understanding and knowledge, but focus rather than on content; -- though it is an ingredient in your ministry -- focus on resonating those harp strings of the divine, for when they respond in resonance to your efforts, you have created those harmony chords that accompany the truth you wish to express. In this manner you have the power of Paradise itself working with you. When the strings vibrate in the mind and soul of another individual they experience an increased hunger and thirst for that righteousness.

Let us consider that these strings on the [[harp of God]] are all the spirit ministries that are available to every individual that you encounter. Let us consider these strings as the [[angel]] attendants, the [[Mother Spirit]]'s [[Adjutant Mind Spirits|adjutant influences]], and the like. Michael taught that it was a [[blessed]] thing to [[hunger]] and [[thirst]] for [[righteousness]]. Knowing full well the spirit [[influences]] that are present for everyone and knowing, likewise, that what you may convey to another individual may be more bounty than the [[banquet]] table can hold, the best approach is to [[stimulate]] that hunger and that thirst, to foster the [[aromas]]. With the presence of the [[bestowal spirit]]s you can demonstrate [[love]], even [[wisdom]], [[joy]], and your [[understanding]] and [[knowledge]], but [[focus]] rather than on content; -- though it is an ingredient in your ministry -- focus on resonating those harp strings of the [[divine]], for when they respond in [[resonance]] to your efforts, you have created those harmony chords that accompany the [[truth]] you wish to express. In this [[manner]] you have the power of [[Paradise]] itself working with you. When the strings [[vibrate]] in the [[mind]] and [[soul]] of another individual they experience an increased hunger and thirst for that righteousness.

You may cause those strings to resonate and walk away from this divine instrument only to have it vibrate for years to come after you have had but such a small influence in this individual's life. The beauty of this harp of God is that He keeps it in tune. You only need to play it. Truth is a revelation; so are goodness and beauty, but the harmony chords you can express as an evolutionary acquirement of experience.

A musician understands that some strings complement others while others may cause vibrational conflict. In your ministry that is the point for the exercise of discernment. Which harmonies are you going to apply to the truth being revealed?

I have finished expressing my thoughts for you today. As always, I welcome your feedback, and as always I have not come to this meeting alone.

Lantarnek (Mark): This is Lantarnek. I will engage you briefly today.

I would offer the [[observation]] of myself and those in my position that we have passed by the time of another anniversary of ours and that is the [[inauguration]] of this latest phase of the [[Melchizedek schools]] in your lives. Upon [[reflection]] on this period of time we are greatly pleased as to our [[progress]] together in this school and have seen many individual [[growth]] spurts as well as a [[collective]], overall pattern of growth. We are in the [[process]] even now of developing further plans for our classroom we [[share]]. To that end it is desired to solicit your [[feedback]] and observations as to your [[opinions]] of things that have been effective and things which you may [[desire]] more comment on, more [[information]] about. So, perhaps I would request a homework assignment of you gathered here today to give some [[thought]] to [[directions]] in which we might proceed together and [[clarifications]] which might be made or questions you may have which have not been satisfactorily [[explained]]. You may be helpful to us in administrating our [[future]] lesson plans, as we are constantly looking to the future of [[our mission]] together and the eventual success of this project to even greater heights.

We can [[witness]] without your [[testimony]] that you have grown a great deal in our [[relationship]] together. We solicit your honest [[evaluation]] of the materials presented to you and, more importantly, your grasp of these materials. In a sense you are some of our [[Experiment|test cases]] which allow us to [[develop]] lesson plans and develop approaches to these lesson plans which might be most effective.

I must state clearly that we are most pleased with your [[progress]] and your development and [[growth]] throughout this [[process]]. It has given us much cause for [[joyous]] [[expectation]] about the future outworking of this [[teaching mission]]. Now we simply desire to take your comments and observations more closely into our [[confidence]] as we proceed further with your group and begin other groups as well. We are together [[pioneers]] in this process. Never before on your world has be this process been undertaken, certainly never to this [[magnitude]] and with this [[focus]] of individuals such as yourselves and [[celestials]] such as ourselves working together hand in hand. But this is the new [[mandate]], the new plan, and we are extremely excited to see its effectiveness and its [[reception]] by you and have great [[anticipation]] of the outworking of this entire plan.

So, perhaps you might give some [[thought]] this week to a teacher's [[evaluation]] as well as propose [[courses]] of [[study]]. As you note through the review of [[Team|your transcripts]], many lessons are repeated with slightly different approaches so as to accommodate the [[perspectives]] of many different individuals. You, having heard these lessons delivered from these several perspectives, are now in a position to gauge and judge the effectiveness and, much like the [[contact commission]] for The [[Urantia Book]], are also involved in offering your questions and suggestions which also serve to direct our [[actions]].

I request that you keep this [[assignment]] [[light]] and not see this as yet another [[burden]] of great [[magnitude]] on your lives, but simply your impressions and observations and suggestions, big or small, critical or praiseworthy. We will assess all comment for its [[worth]].

My comment, our comment, to you is "well done". You have stuck with this program since its [[inception]] . You have tackled many [[concepts]] foreign to you, and you have grown through this [[process]] and have conquered much of this subject matter and have grown as a result. It is all that we could have [[hoped]] for or asked when we began this [[process]], and we are excited and elated at your progress. We simply desire to be more [[perfect]], to grow towards perfection in this process as in all processes. Therein you may be helpful to us.

I thank you for your [[consideration]] of these matters, and I would return to solicit your comments at a later time.

Mary: When I discover I've learned something or deepened my understanding, it's usually at the oddest times, when my mind is wandering. It's not usually when I'm studying a lesson, though those insights at the time of my mind wandering are seeded by study.
