===Opening===
MONJORONSON: Good afternoon. I am Monjoronson. Thank you for opening the door for my [[presence]] among you. You have been visited by the Master and he remains in your company, even as we [[speak]]. It is true that he is with you always, and also true that he can be [[everywhere]] at once, so it is not like you’ve got to wait your turn. I am not here in his place but to [[supplement]].
===Lesson===
===='''''[[Leadership]]'''''====
I am [[working]] through some [[history]] with this [[T/R]] and, in the [[spirit]] of [[resurrection]], hope to find the means by which to find yet another [[voice]] by which to promote, proselytize, produce, provoke, and [[proceed]] with great and [[wondrous]] [[realities]] for [[Urantia]]. Consider me your Coach, and my staff as your [[associates]]. In the [[spiritual]] sense, in the [[cosmic]] sense, we are a team. We have a [[united]] [[purpose]]. We have a goal we [[share]].
It is fully [[understood]] that many of you are unaware of how you contribute or the extent to which you contribute and how your [[contribution]] [[affects]] that of your fellows. I [[assure]] you that is none of your concern. You will be advised on a [[need-to-know basis]]. You have a saying, “Ours is not to [[wonder]] why; ours is but to do or die” and this is how it is when you [[act]] in [[faith]]. You follow the [[voice]] of the Master, the Shepherd, when he calls. He leads the way. This is the [[wonder]] of his [[creation]]. He doeth the [[work]]. You follow him.
In [[creating]] new worlds and new ways, in the [[spirit]] of [[renewal]], allow yourself the [[luxury]] of letting [[leadership]] come to you to show the way for you to follow therein. It is the way of the world to [[aspire]] to be the leader and to lead, thus [[assuring]] yourself and others that your [[good]] [[works]] are pleasing to those On High and to those who would benefit from your [[services]]. But the ways of the Lord are not so [[self]]-[[centered]] as they are [[God]]-[[centered]].
Just as the [[Spirit of Truth]] leads you to an [[awareness]] of Michael, Michael leads you to an awareness of [[the Father]] and so you are always looking beyond the obvious to the unperceived, the untouched, the unimagined, the [[ultimate]], and the [[Unknown|unrevealed]]. Acquirement is [[experiential]]. It is not a destination or a reward; it is a leg in the [[journey]]. But having [[attained]] a certain point of [[ability]] – and this realm needing so much [[attention]], so much reclamation and rehabilitation, so much rehabilitation and recovery, refurbishing and remodeling – it does give us much to do.
And all of you are eager to take a task upon yourself in order to be a part of the [[process]] of life as it is being [[revealed]] day-by-day in your [[faith]] walk and in your [[community]] [[awareness]] of one another. As far as what is going on with others, and yet others beyond that contribute to what we are about, one of the [[things]] that has had to be overcome regarding my [[presence]] here is a [[history]] of “foreign potentates”[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oath_of_Allegiance_%28United_States%29] and so-called [[spiritual]] supervisors and overseers who have done you more harm than [[good]].
There is a certain [[inherent]] distrust in [[cosmic]] [[personalities]]. The very [[fact]] that the global [[consciousness]] – in part, thanks to [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollywood Hollywood] – and in general thanks to the [[primitive]] [[ghost cults]] and so forth still very prevalent on your world – there is much [[fear]] as to the [[spirit]] world and/or “aliens” coming from other parts of the [[universe]], be they [[material]] or [[spiritual]], and what [[influence]] or [[negativity]] they may bring to bear upon you. Much of this is due to [[naiveté]] … some to ignorance and some to genuine [[defense]] to that which is unproven and [[unknown]].
As I have been with you and becoming known to you as the [[seraphim]] and [[ministering spirits]] of your world have been [[working]] with me and my [[associates]] here On High, we have been able to put your [[mind]] at ease. We have been able to settle the thrill and [[stabilize]] the [[energy]] of the [[consciousness]] of my involvement in your current [[phase]] of [[planetary]] [[development]].
No harm is going to befall you as a result of my efforts. No [[judgment]] will be rendered as to your [[worth]], your [[value]], or your status in the [[universe]]. That is not my reason for being here. That is not my [[purpose]]; that is not my purview. You are safe with me. I am a [[Magisterial Son]] and one of the roles the Magisterial Sons engage in is the [[judgment]] of the dispensations. That is as if to say an engineer would come in to judge the [[stability]] of a building to withstand hurricanes, or a bridge to withstand earthquake.
Is [[Urantia]] capable of withstanding yet more [[evolutionary]] [[traumas]]? Will its [[spirit]] hold up under the [[pressures]] of [[change]]? Will the [[changes]] making [[waves]] now in your [[collective consciousness]] be [[supportive]] of further spirit [[revelation]] or will it be required to buckle down and reassemble at a lower [[vibratory]] level, so as not to lose [[everything]] that has been accomplished, without crystallizing or providing the opening for [[chaos]] to prevail or destruction to consume?
Student: Aren’t we supposed to be rising up to a higher vibratory resolution?
MONJORONSON: That is, of course, the overall plan.
Student: That you are here to help with.
MONJORONSON: That I am here to help with; that we are all here to help with. That is appropriate for this [[phase]] of your [[development]]. My assessment as to what is [[possible]] will provide [[guidelines]] for what [[work]] will be underway and what will be shelved until the [[foundation]] is better established.
[[Think]] of me in terms of a Contractor hired by the [[architectural]] firm of which I am the chief architect. One does not build a [[city]] on a marsh without a full [[awareness]] of what will be required to fill in the bog to stabilize the ground. I am counting the cost, if you will, of the undertaking. We are constantly counting the cost here in the [[Correcting Time]], as to what to [[proceed]] with and what to delay.
We have a plan, but there are so many myriad [[possible]] diversions, distractions and delays due to the vagaries of [[free will]]. The [[vibratory]] level is rising, the construct is being created, the new world is formulating, but it all depends. The speed with which it [[develops]], the [[effectiveness]] of its development, the [[joy]] of its accomplishment, are all [[contingent]] upon the [[workers]]. There is no point trying to make it [[work]] faster than is [[possible]].
If you are all earnest and [[sincere]], as we [[perceive]] you to be, we [[know]] that you are all willing and eager to do what you are called to do, what you have [[committed]] yourself to do, what you have been [[trained]] for, what you are [[destined]] for, when it is [[time]] and as you can, given the many [[variables]] of circumstances that you yourselves must deal with. For as we make these [[plans]] and create this [[reality]], the realities of the [[finite]] [[existence]] are concurrently running, and these include your own [[human]] [[existence]] and [[relationships]], your [[health]] – [[mental]], [[physical]] and [[spiritual]] [[health]] -and that of your [[families]], your loved ones, your [[associates]], your competitors, your contemporaries, your [[communities]], your [[communications]], your countries, your continents, and your [[cosmic consciousness]]. All of these are operating all at the same time in a forward-moving aspiration that will culminate in goals you have not begun to [[perceive]].
===Dialogue===
You had a question.
Student: (Inaudible)
MONJORONSON: Someone asked a question about the visitors from other worlds being hostile.
Student: Being portrayed as hostile.
MONJORONSON: Portrayed in what?
Student: In television shows. Visual effects.
MONJORONSON: Well, this is what you know. This is what you are familiar with. You know about [[War|battle]]. You know about hostilities. These are familiar to you; they are comfortable for you. The good guy winning over the bad guy is [[classic]] “good versus evil.”
Student: (Inaudible)
MONJORONSON: They don’t know what else to [[think]] of them. If they think of [[aliens]] and [[space]] visitors as coming from advanced worlds, they then must acknowledge how [[primitive]] they are here, and that is [[difficult]] for you to do here -- having been an isolated world – unwilling, unable to [[accept]] the [[fact]] of your [[isolation]]. Such a fact will bring on a sense of abandonment. Why would God forsake us and leave us here on a cold [[orb]] in [[space]] without a [[connection]] to other worlds such as these spaceships have. As if to say, “What are we? Chopped liver?”
Thus much [[propaganda]] will need to be provided on the affirmative side, and thus we have a team of [[workers]] working on just that precept. We have the [[Galactic Federation]] as well as the [[Battlestar Urantia]] and other [[sci-fi]] [[films]] and [[fantasies]] designed to [[reveal]] the [[universe]] as an enormous [[playground]], a huge expansion over the small, back-lot ball field you’ve been playing in. What our team has been doing is presenting [[space ships]] that your [[Air Force]] is still trying to copy and worlds that [[Muslims]] would die for, with the [[beautiful]] [[women]] – virgins all – and the gardens of such [[luxury]] and largess that the seed-keepers of today’s crops cringe to behold.
There are so many ways for people to lose [[power]] if the [[universe]] were revealed as the [[dynamic]], industrious and [[friendly]] place which you know it to be. And so it is yet another matter for the [[Correcting Time]] that these prejudicial approaches to [[galactic]] [[neighborhoods]] must be torn down. In [[time]] you will become [[conscious]] of your [[intergalactic]] [[neighbors]], and while there is some time before you will be able to “ship off” to go to other [[inhabited worlds]], you will soon be [[accepting]] those which drive by your [[neighborhood]] and shoot [[messages]] of [[hope]] and [[light]] and [[humor]] … capriciousness … and [[scientific]] expertise.
Student: (Inaudible)
MONJORONSON: They are certainly [[messages]] from the netherworld, but they are not [[necessarily]] the product of ships … [[UFOs]].
Student: (Inaudible)
MONJORONSON: The [[consensus]] is that they are the product of [[physical]] controllers through the [[mechanical]] [[abilities]] of the [[midwayers]]. The midwayers are able to move the [[physical]] aspects of your world. They have that [[ability]], but they are instructed and shown how to do what they do by others. The [[midwayers]] themselves are not the engineers of the [[crop circles]]. They doeth the [[work]]. They are like subcontractors, if you will.
Student: (Inaudible)
MONJORONSON: There are many [[designers]]. There are – (in [[fact]], I will carry the [[analogy]] through) – [[cosmic]] corporate [[beings]] that compete for your [[business]], but they are operating in a [[different]] [[value]] [[system]] so they seek to [[share]] rather than sell you something. There are vendors, cosmic vendors, who want to make contact with you and [[share]] with you their [[consciousness]], and so there are many venues. They are higher [[intelligences]], certainly.
Student: (Inaudible)
MONJORONSON: Right. No, these are not worlds or companies sending their [[logos]], but they are sending [[symbols]], [[messages]]. They are sending [[values]] and ask you to [[examine]] their values.
Student: (Inaudible)
MONJORONSON: They are to benefit you. They are [[teaching]] you. It is very [[clever]] how they have been able to bridge the gap between the two worlds, but it is like getting a new [[game]]. You need to learn how it is played. You need to [[read]] the instructions. And so the instructions are being written by the [[creators]] of the [[games]] themselves. And as you learn to read their instructions, your [[mind]] is expanding, your [[consciousness]] is spreading. Their [[insights]] enter into you, which you then [[share]] with others, and so the [[light]] comes on. You are being [[reconnected]]. You are being rehabilitated. You are being made ready for re-encircuitment among the many worlds of the [[Satania|local System]].
You will be sooner or later in contact with your [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_49_-_The_Inhabited_Worlds#49:5._THE_PLANETARY_SERIES_OF_MORTALS sister planets], which were also isolated with you in the wake of the [[Lucifer Rebellion]], who have also been [[quarantined]]. You will also be coming in contact with the worlds that have not been quarantined, those what have enjoyed the [[connection]] with the greater [[universe]] all along. And indeed the many [[messages]] that you have been receiving through the [[Harp of God]] have been from many [[sources]], primary of which have been through the [[Teacher Corps]], which, as you know, has been amassed from many worlds. And so you are being enculturated, even as you sit around your living rooms on lazy lovely afternoons like today chatting it up with the [[celestials]].
You have been [[learning]] about your place in the [[universe]] and how to [[comport]] yourself among your [[celestial]] [[peers]]. You have so benefitted from the gifts of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_25#25:7._THE_MORONTIA_COMPANIONS morontia companions], even though you may not even be [[aware]] of how many there among you and how many of them [[work]] with you in other social [[paradigms]] than ours, to convey your [[spirit]] [[fragrance]] and your [[altruistic]] [[attitudes]] in your efforts to uplift and implant [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_56_-_Universal_Unity#56:10._TRUTH.2C_BEAUTY.2C_AND_GOODNESS truth, beauty and goodness] as well as [[ideas]] and [[ideals]] into your [[environment]] -- the [[work]] of your realm.
Student: (Inaudible)
MONJORONSON: What’s your hurry? You want [[perfection]] now!
Student: And I want it the way I want it.
MONJORONSON: Well, that is why it takes so long, I guess. The [[fact]] is you do have [[perfection]] now. It’s [[relative]], of course. And as for your sense of insignificance, let’s look at that as an appropriate sense of [[Humble|smallness]]. If you look at a leaf through a microscope, you will see a leaf [[cell]] comprising a part of the leaf, that leaf which supplies chlorophyll which contributes nurturance and oxygenation, and these are very small matters until you [[discover]] you are starving or asphyxiating and then they suddenly become very important.
Each small [[thing]] contributes to the large thing and makes the large thing [[work]]. It’s working [[together]] that enables this to become more [[powerful]], and [[learning]] to work together takes [[time]]. In [[truth]] you [[work]] together now, although much of your working together now results in [[chaos]] rather than [[harmony]], only because of your lack of [[experience]], your impatience, and your [[confidence]] that you can do it yourself if they would just leave you alone. These are all very [[normal]], [[standard]] [[attitudes]] for the [[evolving worlds]] and all [[mortals]] upon them.
When your [[child]] was small, when she took her first step, did you not [[rejoice]] that she took her first step, but did you not also [[grieve]] the [[fact]] that she would soon be up and running and would no longer be an infant, [[dependent]] on you for her every need. We [[experience]] something similar when we [[observe]] the worlds [[developing]]. We rejoice when they have [[attained]] a certain level of [[function]] and yet we [[remember]] fondly those days when they were so frail and wobbly they depended upon the over-controllers to provide the cocoon, the [[womb]], the construct that would [[support]] it in the incubator while it grew, while it [[developed]].
Each [[stage]] of [[existence]] is its own [[reality]], is its own delight. Even as you at each phase of your [[development]] [[understand]] the distance you have come so far and the new [[adventures]] that lie [[immediately]] ahead. This is a gift, this everlasting life, this [[eternal]] [[adventure]], and when you say you want it all done now, you are saying I don’t want your gift; I want to do it my way, because the gift is in the [[moment]] to moment unfolding. The [[relative]] [[reality]] of each step of the [[journey]] includes it being [[relatively]] slow and relatively imperfect and relatively insignificant.
Try to see it from the farther view. [[Transcend]] your [[perspective]] as often as possible. Not to become someone other than whom you are, but to see it, perhaps, as the gods may see it. Try to see it from the [[omniscient]] point of [[point of view]], from [[God]]'s [[perspective]], from a [[divine]] [[Frame of reference|vantage point]]. That will help lift you up out and out of the insignificant sense of smallness. It will help you [[appreciate]] the [[joy]] of being just where you are. It will instill in you a sense of [[gratitude]] for the peculiar comforts that this [[stage]] of your [[development]] provides: good food, parties, new clothes, sweet [[dreams]], good coffee, spring days, good [[friends]] and all that conspire to make you who you are, having the [[experience]] you are having. After all, what is your hurry? Enjoy life one day at a time.
Student: Life’s really a blast (inaudible).
MONJORONSON: True. But try to be a producer as well as a consumer. There is really much [[work]] to be done. We are [[Anticipation|looking forward]] to the day when people sit around and [[develop]] a [[taste]] for new [[creations]], new [[paradigms]] of [[reality]], new [[values]] to espouse and aspire toward, new mores to cultivate as [[altruistic]], a new approach to [[law]] and order. There is much to be said for the [[adventure]], but again I reiterate the [[joy]] that comes from [[intelligent]] effort as compared from the [[joy]] that comes from being a [[Spectator|passenger]].
Have you had enough of me for the day?
Student: Not at all! I can’t think of any questions. (Inaudible; something about [[perspectives]] on [[crop circles]])
MONJORONSON: You are welcome. It is really not something I [[intended]] to get into but that is the [[thing]] about [[working]] with you [[mortals]]. You do come up with some mind constructs that are [[challenging]].
Student: What was your [[original]] plan?
MONJORONSON: I really wanted to make [[friends]] with Gerdean and get to know you all better. I have not had a [[chance]] to make much of an impression on this [[Rio Rancho TeaM|teacher base]]. The elders, who have pretty much gone on now, had no need for me. And I was, in [[fact]], a bit more than was [[necessary]] to accommodate the capacities of the Rio Rancho TeaM, which is and has been a [[mature]] [[group]] comprised of many folk who are retired or semi-retired, who have little interest in setting out, embarking on [[ambitious]] undertakings and far-reaching excursions which seem to be [[inherent]] in my ministry.
Student: (Inaudible)
MONJORONSON: There are many who like it the way it is and who [[conservatively]] aspire to [[maintain]] [[stability]] and the [[idea]] of [[change]] is [[anathema]] to their sense of well being. It is said that the [[human]] [[animal]] balks at being weaned from its reliance upon the [[ego]] and the [[status quo]], but it is also true that there are conservators of [[value]] that are similarly reluctant to latch onto any new fad or fancy that comes along simply because it’s there.
The young people tend to go through these fads like Epsom salts, and your [[culture]] is known to be a “throw-away” [[society]], and so the tendency would be to snatch a [[celestial]] out of the [[consciousness]] of a [[T/R]], unwrap it, gobble it up, and throw away the wrapping, eager to find out what the next one tastes like. This proclivity makes it very [[difficult]] for us to settle into anything of [[substance]], with your [[cooperation]], unless it is something that will excite you and titillate your sense of [[adventure]] … such as [[crop circles]] will do, or [[disasters]] – which we have talked about often enough -- but frankly it is a way of getting your [[attention]]. We do have our challenges here in this mission. And we are learning with you, which is appropriate when dealing with an [[experimental]] [[planet]] like this one.
But I do want to say that just because you are an experimental world does not give either us or you carte blanche. There are [[universal]] [[laws]] that must be adhered to. Michael is very [[liberal]] in his overall management of his [[universe]], and allows great latitude in the [[minds]] of his [[children]]. The [[creative]] breadth and depth is [[generous]]. The [[possibilities]] and plausibility of accomplishment are sometimes impressive, even mind-boggling. But even so there are over-riding rules that we are all required to adhere to, built in.
[[Laws]] are not just to provide you with [[freedom]]; they also provide you restriction, and there are many in [[existence]] that you didn’t vote for but you must abide by. So when you [[think]] in terms of this being an [[experimental]] world, don’t take advantage of that. Don’t think that means you are without restriction. Certain things are unlimited, yes, but not [[everything]]. There are boundaries. There are [[parameters]]. There are [[limits]] to how far you can go.
And so when you, in your insignificance and your smallness run up against a road block or a [[difficulty]] around which you cannot pass, accept it as being a [[message]] that you may be trying to press into areas that are none of your concern. Find another way to go about [[doing]] what your [[destiny]] calling may be. You don’t want to break [[God]]’s [[law]] to [[Doing the will of God|do God’s will]]. That would be rather self-defeating.
Student: (Inaudible, about doing God’s will)
MONJORONSON: You all [[think]] of it too [[academically]]. It is not like it was set down as the [[Bill of Rights]] or the [[Ten Commandments]]. If you are [[learning]] how to [[perceive]] the [[presence]] of [[God]] you will become familiar with [[God]], and he will convey to you what his will for you is and you will experiencingly [[feel]] it. And you may never be able to define it or put it into [[words]] but if you are living within it, that is what matters.
Student: (Inaudible)
MONJORONSON: They will be advised if they are in cahoots with their [[spirit of truth]]. If they pause to ask, they will be confirmed. Yes, this is the way. If you are not [[conforming]] to God’s will as God sees it, God will let you know. You will be able to read the [[signs]]. But you must be open to be taught, to be led, to be [[guided]], and there is still so many, so many on this world who so often do still believe they are required to do it all – to [[think]] it up, to plan it out, to [[work]] it through, and to make it happen.
I tell you, all you need to do is count the cost. And I am not talking about [[money]], here. I am talking about what kind of [[investment]] you can make in [[doing His will]]. Can you stand behind your [[faith]]? Will you become a man of your [[word]]? Will you be seen as a [[personality]] with [[character]] and [[integrity]], or are you deciding what you want people to see you as and creating your own persona such that they cannot see you for the [[affectation]] you have placed upon yourself? Are you [[genuine]] or are you a construct of your own [[imagination]]?
We will use any and all of your contributions. There is no failure here. But be advised, there are no surprises.
There is a great deal of [[peace]] prevailing today in the [[collective]] [[superconsciousness]] of your world. Even though there are trouble spots on your [[planet]], the Prince of Peace prevails in the [[hearts]] of many, and [[Deity]] [[reality]] is a [[conscious]] [[fact]] in the [[minds]] of most. And so taking [[time]] to [[appreciate]] [[Deity]] [[reality]] can only contribute to [[the Supreme|the Evolving Supreme]], to the [[march]] toward [[light and life]], toward your goal for [[Urantia]].
===Closing===
From this [[sense]] of [[peace]] and the underlying principle of [[purpose]], let us [[rejoice]] in the [[possibilities]] that lay ahead, now, at this [[time]], in this [[space]], on this orb, in this [[dimension]], along the lines of [[resurrection]] – resurrecting [[hope]], [[courage]], [[ambition]], altruistic [[intention]], [[fraternity]], and all the [[fruits of the spirit]] that will [[support]] and egg us on in the days and worlds to come.
Thank you for giving me your ear this afternoon. I am happy to step down to join with you as we step up to do the next right [[thing]]. Enjoy!
Good afternoon.

===='''''[[Leadership]]'''''====
I am [[working]] through some [[history]] with this [[T/R]] and, in the [[spirit]] of [[resurrection]], hope to find the means by which to find yet another [[voice]] by which to promote, proselytize, produce, provoke, and [[proceed]] with great and [[wondrous]] [[realities]] for [[Urantia]].

But having [[attained]] a certain point of [[ability]] – and this realm needing so much [[attention]], so much reclamation and rehabilitation, so much rehabilitation and recovery, refurbishing and remodeling – it does give us much to do.
And all of you are eager to take a task upon yourself in order to be a part of the [[process]] of life as it is being [[revealed]] day-by-day in your [[faith]] walk and in your [[community]] [[awareness]] of one another. As far as what is going on with others, and yet others beyond that contribute to what we are about, one of the [[things]] that has had to be overcome regarding my [[presence]] here is a [[history]] of “foreign potentates”[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oath_of_Allegiance_%28United_States%29] and so-called [[spiritual]] supervisors and overseers who have done you more harm than [[good]].
There is a certain [[inherent]] distrust in [[cosmic]] [[personalities]]. The very [[fact]] that the global [[consciousness]] – in part, thanks to [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollywood Hollywood] – and in general thanks to the [[primitive]] [[ghost cults]] and so forth still very prevalent on your world – there is much [[fear]] as to the [[spirit]] world and/or “aliens” coming from other parts of the [[universe]], be they [[material]] or [[spiritual]], and what [[influence]] or [[negativity]] they may bring to bear upon you. Much of this is due to [[naiveté]] … some to ignorance and some to genuine [[defense]] to that which is unproven and [[unknown]].
As I have been with you and becoming known to you as the [[seraphim]] and [[ministering spirits]] of your world have been [[working]] with me and my [[associates]] here On High, we have been able to put your [[mind]] at ease. We have been able to settle the thrill and [[stabilize]] the [[energy]] of the [[consciousness]] of my involvement in your current [[phase]] of [[planetary]] [[development]].
No harm is going to befall you as a result of my efforts. No [[judgment]] will be rendered as to your [[worth]], your [[value]], or your status in the [[universe]]. That is not my reason for being here. That is not my [[purpose]]; that is not my purview. You are safe with me. I am a [[Magisterial Son]] and one of the roles the Magisterial Sons engage in is the [[judgment]] of the dispensations. That is as if to say an engineer would come in to judge the [[stability]] of a building to withstand hurricanes, or a bridge to withstand earthquake.
Is [[Urantia]] capable of withstanding yet more [[evolutionary]] [[traumas]]? Will its [[spirit]] hold up under the [[pressures]] of [[change]]? Will the [[changes]] making [[waves]] now in your [[collective consciousness]] be [[supportive]] of further spirit [[revelation]] or will it be required to buckle down and reassemble at a lower [[vibratory]] level, so as not to lose [[everything]] that has been accomplished, without crystallizing or providing the opening for [[chaos]] to prevail or destruction to consume?
Student: Aren’t we supposed to be rising up to a higher vibratory resolution?
MONJORONSON: That is, of course, the overall plan.
Student: That you are here to help with.
MONJORONSON: That I am here to help with; that we are all here to help with. That is appropriate for this [[phase]] of your [[development]]. My assessment as to what is [[possible]] will provide [[guidelines]] for what [[work]] will be underway and what will be shelved until the [[foundation]] is better established.
[[Think]] of me in terms of a Contractor hired by the [[architectural]] firm of which I am the chief architect. One does not build a [[city]] on a marsh without a full [[awareness]] of what will be required to fill in the bog to stabilize the ground. I am counting the cost, if you will, of the undertaking. We are constantly counting the cost here in the [[Correcting Time]], as to what to [[proceed]] with and what to delay.
We have a plan, but there are so many myriad [[possible]] diversions, distractions and delays due to the vagaries of [[free will]]. The [[vibratory]] level is rising, the construct is being created, the new world is formulating, but it all depends. The speed with which it [[develops]], the [[effectiveness]] of its development, the [[joy]] of its accomplishment, are all [[contingent]] upon the [[workers]]. There is no point trying to make it [[work]] faster than is [[possible]].
If you are all earnest and [[sincere]], as we [[perceive]] you to be, we [[know]] that you are all willing and eager to do what you are called to do, what you have [[committed]] yourself to do, what you have been [[trained]] for, what you are [[destined]] for, when it is [[time]] and as you can, given the many [[variables]] of circumstances that you yourselves must deal with. For as we make these [[plans]] and create this [[reality]], the realities of the [[finite]] [[existence]] are concurrently running, and these include your own [[human]] [[existence]] and [[relationships]], your [[health]] – [[mental]], [[physical]] and [[spiritual]] [[health]] -and that of your [[families]], your loved ones, your [[associates]], your competitors, your contemporaries, your [[communities]], your [[communications]], your countries, your continents, and your [[cosmic consciousness]]. All of these are operating all at the same time in a forward-moving aspiration that will culminate in goals you have not begun to [[perceive]].
===Dialogue===
You had a question.
Student: (Inaudible)
MONJORONSON: Someone asked a question about the visitors from other worlds being hostile.
Student: Being portrayed as hostile.
MONJORONSON: Portrayed in what?
Student: In television shows. Visual effects.
MONJORONSON: Well, this is what you know. This is what you are familiar with. You know about [[War|battle]]. You know about hostilities. These are familiar to you; they are comfortable for you. The good guy winning over the bad guy is [[classic]] “good versus evil.”
Student: (Inaudible)
MONJORONSON: They don’t know what else to [[think]] of them. If they think of [[aliens]] and [[space]] visitors as coming from advanced worlds, they then must acknowledge how [[primitive]] they are here, and that is [[difficult]] for you to do here -- having been an isolated world – unwilling, unable to [[accept]] the [[fact]] of your [[isolation]]. Such a fact will bring on a sense of abandonment. Why would God forsake us and leave us here on a cold [[orb]] in [[space]] without a [[connection]] to other worlds such as these spaceships have. As if to say, “What are we? Chopped liver?”
Thus much [[propaganda]] will need to be provided on the affirmative side, and thus we have a team of [[workers]] working on just that precept. We have the [[Galactic Federation]] as well as the [[Battlestar Urantia]] and other [[sci-fi]] [[films]] and [[fantasies]] designed to [[reveal]] the [[universe]] as an enormous [[playground]], a huge expansion over the small, back-lot ball field you’ve been playing in. What our team has been doing is presenting [[space ships]] that your [[Air Force]] is still trying to copy and worlds that [[Muslims]] would die for, with the [[beautiful]] [[women]] – virgins all – and the gardens of such [[luxury]] and largess that the seed-keepers of today’s crops cringe to behold.
There are so many ways for people to lose [[power]] if the [[universe]] were revealed as the [[dynamic]], industrious and [[friendly]] place which you know it to be. And so it is yet another matter for the [[Correcting Time]] that these prejudicial approaches to [[galactic]] [[neighborhoods]] must be torn down. In [[time]] you will become [[conscious]] of your [[intergalactic]] [[neighbors]], and while there is some time before you will be able to “ship off” to go to other [[inhabited worlds]], you will soon be [[accepting]] those which drive by your [[neighborhood]] and shoot [[messages]] of [[hope]] and [[light]] and [[humor]] … capriciousness … and [[scientific]] expertise.
Student: (Inaudible)
MONJORONSON: They are certainly [[messages]] from the netherworld, but they are not [[necessarily]] the product of ships … [[UFOs]].
Student: (Inaudible)
MONJORONSON: The [[consensus]] is that they are the product of [[physical]] controllers through the [[mechanical]] [[abilities]] of the [[midwayers]]. The midwayers are able to move the [[physical]] aspects of your world. They have that [[ability]], but they are instructed and shown how to do what they do by others. The [[midwayers]] themselves are not the engineers of the [[crop circles]]. They doeth the [[work]]. They are like subcontractors, if you will.
Student: (Inaudible)
MONJORONSON: There are many [[designers]]. There are – (in [[fact]], I will carry the [[analogy]] through) – [[cosmic]] corporate [[beings]] that compete for your [[business]], but they are operating in a [[different]] [[value]] [[system]] so they seek to [[share]] rather than sell you something. There are vendors, cosmic vendors, who want to make contact with you and [[share]] with you their [[consciousness]], and so there are many venues. They are higher [[intelligences]], certainly.
Student: (Inaudible)
MONJORONSON: Right. No, these are not worlds or companies sending their [[logos]], but they are sending [[symbols]], [[messages]]. They are sending [[values]] and ask you to [[examine]] their values.
Student: (Inaudible)
MONJORONSON: They are to benefit you. They are [[teaching]] you. It is very [[clever]] how they have been able to bridge the gap between the two worlds, but it is like getting a new [[game]]. You need to learn how it is played. You need to [[read]] the instructions. And so the instructions are being written by the [[creators]] of the [[games]] themselves. And as you learn to read their instructions, your [[mind]] is expanding, your [[consciousness]] is spreading. Their [[insights]] enter into you, which you then [[share]] with others, and so the [[light]] comes on. You are being [[reconnected]]. You are being rehabilitated. You are being made ready for re-encircuitment among the many worlds of the [[Satania|local System]].
You will be sooner or later in contact with your [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_49_-_The_Inhabited_Worlds#49:5._THE_PLANETARY_SERIES_OF_MORTALS sister planets], which were also isolated with you in the wake of the [[Lucifer Rebellion]], who have also been [[quarantined]]. You will also be coming in contact with the worlds that have not been quarantined, those what have enjoyed the [[connection]] with the greater [[universe]] all along. And indeed the many [[messages]] that you have been receiving through the [[Harp of God]] have been from many [[sources]], primary of which have been through the [[Teacher Corps]], which, as you know, has been amassed from many worlds. And so you are being enculturated, even as you sit around your living rooms on lazy lovely afternoons like today chatting it up with the [[celestials]].
You have been [[learning]] about your place in the [[universe]] and how to [[comport]] yourself among your [[celestial]] [[peers]]. You have so benefitted from the gifts of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_25#25:7._THE_MORONTIA_COMPANIONS morontia companions], even though you may not even be [[aware]] of how many there among you and how many of them [[work]] with you in other social [[paradigms]] than ours, to convey your [[spirit]] [[fragrance]] and your [[altruistic]] [[attitudes]] in your efforts to uplift and implant [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_56_-_Universal_Unity#56:10._TRUTH.2C_BEAUTY.2C_AND_GOODNESS truth, beauty and goodness] as well as [[ideas]] and [[ideals]] into your [[environment]] -- the [[work]] of your realm.
Student: (Inaudible)
MONJORONSON: What’s your hurry? You want [[perfection]] now!
Student: And I want it the way I want it.
MONJORONSON: Well, that is why it takes so long, I guess. The [[fact]] is you do have [[perfection]] now. It’s [[relative]], of course. And as for your sense of insignificance, let’s look at that as an appropriate sense of [[Humble|smallness]]. If you look at a leaf through a microscope, you will see a leaf [[cell]] comprising a part of the leaf, that leaf which supplies chlorophyll which contributes nurturance and oxygenation, and these are very small matters until you [[discover]] you are starving or asphyxiating and then they suddenly become very important.
Each small [[thing]] contributes to the large thing and makes the large thing [[work]]. It’s working [[together]] that enables this to become more [[powerful]], and [[learning]] to work together takes [[time]]. In [[truth]] you [[work]] together now, although much of your working together now results in [[chaos]] rather than [[harmony]], only because of your lack of [[experience]], your impatience, and your [[confidence]] that you can do it yourself if they would just leave you alone. These are all very [[normal]], [[standard]] [[attitudes]] for the [[evolving worlds]] and all [[mortals]] upon them.
When your [[child]] was small, when she took her first step, did you not [[rejoice]] that she took her first step, but did you not also [[grieve]] the [[fact]] that she would soon be up and running and would no longer be an infant, [[dependent]] on you for her every need. We [[experience]] something similar when we [[observe]] the worlds [[developing]]. We rejoice when they have [[attained]] a certain level of [[function]] and yet we [[remember]] fondly those days when they were so frail and wobbly they depended upon the over-controllers to provide the cocoon, the [[womb]], the construct that would [[support]] it in the incubator while it grew, while it [[developed]].
Each [[stage]] of [[existence]] is its own [[reality]], is its own delight. Even as you at each phase of your [[development]] [[understand]] the distance you have come so far and the new [[adventures]] that lie [[immediately]] ahead. This is a gift, this everlasting life, this [[eternal]] [[adventure]], and when you say you want it all done now, you are saying I don’t want your gift; I want to do it my way, because the gift is in the [[moment]] to moment unfolding. The [[relative]] [[reality]] of each step of the [[journey]] includes it being [[relatively]] slow and relatively imperfect and relatively insignificant.
Try to see it from the farther view. [[Transcend]] your [[perspective]] as often as possible. Not to become someone other than whom you are, but to see it, perhaps, as the gods may see it. Try to see it from the [[omniscient]] point of [[point of view]], from [[God]]'s [[perspective]], from a [[divine]] [[Frame of reference|vantage point]]. That will help lift you up out and out of the insignificant sense of smallness. It will help you [[appreciate]] the [[joy]] of being just where you are. It will instill in you a sense of [[gratitude]] for the peculiar comforts that this [[stage]] of your [[development]] provides: good food, parties, new clothes, sweet [[dreams]], good coffee, spring days, good [[friends]] and all that conspire to make you who you are, having the [[experience]] you are having. After all, what is your hurry? Enjoy life one day at a time.
Student: Life’s really a blast (inaudible).
MONJORONSON: True. But try to be a producer as well as a consumer. There is really much [[work]] to be done. We are [[Anticipation|looking forward]] to the day when people sit around and [[develop]] a [[taste]] for new [[creations]], new [[paradigms]] of [[reality]], new [[values]] to espouse and aspire toward, new mores to cultivate as [[altruistic]], a new approach to [[law]] and order. There is much to be said for the [[adventure]], but again I reiterate the [[joy]] that comes from [[intelligent]] effort as compared from the [[joy]] that comes from being a [[Spectator|passenger]].
Have you had enough of me for the day?
Student: Not at all! I can’t think of any questions. (Inaudible; something about [[perspectives]] on [[crop circles]])
MONJORONSON: You are welcome. It is really not something I [[intended]] to get into but that is the [[thing]] about [[working]] with you [[mortals]]. You do come up with some mind constructs that are [[challenging]].
Student: What was your [[original]] plan?
MONJORONSON: I really wanted to make [[friends]] with Gerdean and get to know you all better. I have not had a [[chance]] to make much of an impression on this [[Rio Rancho TeaM|teacher base]]. The elders, who have pretty much gone on now, had no need for me. And I was, in [[fact]], a bit more than was [[necessary]] to accommodate the capacities of the Rio Rancho TeaM, which is and has been a [[mature]] [[group]] comprised of many folk who are retired or semi-retired, who have little interest in setting out, embarking on [[ambitious]] undertakings and far-reaching excursions which seem to be [[inherent]] in my ministry.
Student: (Inaudible)
MONJORONSON: There are many who like it the way it is and who [[conservatively]] aspire to [[maintain]] [[stability]] and the [[idea]] of [[change]] is [[anathema]] to their sense of well being. It is said that the [[human]] [[animal]] balks at being weaned from its reliance upon the [[ego]] and the [[status quo]], but it is also true that there are conservators of [[value]] that are similarly reluctant to latch onto any new fad or fancy that comes along simply because it’s there.
The young people tend to go through these fads like Epsom salts, and your [[culture]] is known to be a “throw-away” [[society]], and so the tendency would be to snatch a [[celestial]] out of the [[consciousness]] of a [[T/R]], unwrap it, gobble it up, and throw away the wrapping, eager to find out what the next one tastes like. This proclivity makes it very [[difficult]] for us to settle into anything of [[substance]], with your [[cooperation]], unless it is something that will excite you and titillate your sense of [[adventure]] … such as [[crop circles]] will do, or [[disasters]] – which we have talked about often enough -- but frankly it is a way of getting your [[attention]]. We do have our challenges here in this mission. And we are learning with you, which is appropriate when dealing with an [[experimental]] [[planet]] like this one.
But I do want to say that just because you are an experimental world does not give either us or you carte blanche. There are [[universal]] [[laws]] that must be adhered to. Michael is very [[liberal]] in his overall management of his [[universe]], and allows great latitude in the [[minds]] of his [[children]]. The [[creative]] breadth and depth is [[generous]]. The [[possibilities]] and plausibility of accomplishment are sometimes impressive, even mind-boggling. But even so there are over-riding rules that we are all required to adhere to, built in.
[[Laws]] are not just to provide you with [[freedom]]; they also provide you restriction, and there are many in [[existence]] that you didn’t vote for but you must abide by. So when you [[think]] in terms of this being an [[experimental]] world, don’t take advantage of that. Don’t think that means you are without restriction. Certain things are unlimited, yes, but not [[everything]]. There are boundaries. There are [[parameters]]. There are [[limits]] to how far you can go.
And so when you, in your insignificance and your smallness run up against a road block or a [[difficulty]] around which you cannot pass, accept it as being a [[message]] that you may be trying to press into areas that are none of your concern. Find another way to go about [[doing]] what your [[destiny]] calling may be. You don’t want to break [[God]]’s [[law]] to [[Doing the will of God|do God’s will]]. That would be rather self-defeating.
Student: (Inaudible, about doing God’s will)
MONJORONSON: You all [[think]] of it too [[academically]]. It is not like it was set down as the [[Bill of Rights]] or the [[Ten Commandments]]. If you are [[learning]] how to [[perceive]] the [[presence]] of [[God]] you will become familiar with [[God]], and he will convey to you what his will for you is and you will experiencingly [[feel]] it. And you may never be able to define it or put it into [[words]] but if you are living within it, that is what matters.
Student: (Inaudible)
MONJORONSON: They will be advised if they are in cahoots with their [[spirit of truth]]. If they pause to ask, they will be confirmed. Yes, this is the way. If you are not [[conforming]] to God’s will as God sees it, God will let you know. You will be able to read the [[signs]]. But you must be open to be taught, to be led, to be [[guided]], and there is still so many, so many on this world who so often do still believe they are required to do it all – to [[think]] it up, to plan it out, to [[work]] it through, and to make it happen.
I tell you, all you need to do is count the cost. And I am not talking about [[money]], here. I am talking about what kind of [[investment]] you can make in [[doing His will]]. Can you stand behind your [[faith]]? Will you become a man of your [[word]]? Will you be seen as a [[personality]] with [[character]] and [[integrity]], or are you deciding what you want people to see you as and creating your own persona such that they cannot see you for the [[affectation]] you have placed upon yourself? Are you [[genuine]] or are you a construct of your own [[imagination]]?
We will use any and all of your contributions. There is no failure here. But be advised, there are no surprises.
There is a great deal of [[peace]] prevailing today in the [[collective]] [[superconsciousness]] of your world. Even though there are trouble spots on your [[planet]], the Prince of Peace prevails in the [[hearts]] of many, and [[Deity]] [[reality]] is a [[conscious]] [[fact]] in the [[minds]] of most. And so taking [[time]] to [[appreciate]] [[Deity]] [[reality]] can only contribute to [[the Supreme|the Evolving Supreme]], to the [[march]] toward [[light and life]], toward your goal for [[Urantia]].
===Closing===
From this [[sense]] of [[peace]] and the underlying principle of [[purpose]], let us [[rejoice]] in the [[possibilities]] that lay ahead, now, at this [[time]], in this [[space]], on this orb, in this [[dimension]], along the lines of [[resurrection]] – resurrecting [[hope]], [[courage]], [[ambition]], altruistic [[intention]], [[fraternity]], and all the [[fruits of the spirit]] that will [[support]] and egg us on in the days and worlds to come.
Thank you for giving me your ear this afternoon. I am happy to step down to join with you as we step up to do the next right [[thing]]. Enjoy!
Good afternoon.
