As to how long we have been here, we have been here since [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1984 1984], not all, but [[Machiventa]] arrived as the [[rebellion]] was [[adjudicated]]. As you know, none of the [[evil]] ones exist. He was not formally installed [[Prince of Urantia]] until October of last year, '91. And the mission is officially under way. (01/13/92)

[On [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=1991-02-01-Ham_To_General_Council February 1st, 1992], during a recess in the meeting of the [[The Fellowship General Council|General Council of the Fellowship]], before an [[audience]] of about 150 people at the LAX Holiday Inn, teacher [[Ham]] formally announced to the world the recent changes in [[planetary government]] in the following [[language]]:] The light of [[God]] [[surrounds]] us, The [[Light]] of [[God]] surrounds us. The [[Love]] of God enfolds us. The [[Power]] of God protects us. The [[Presence]] of God watches over us. Wherever we are, He is. My [[profound]] and [[sincere]] greetings to you all this evening. I am [[Ham]]. I have been [[commissioned]] to bring the [[light]] of [[truth]] and the [[understanding]] of [[our Father]] to [[Urantia]].

I am one of many [[teachers]]. All of us are awaiting the greater [[reception]] of our [[words]] and we are desirous of placing many [[teachers]] among you. Great is our [[mission]]. [[Understand]] this in your [[hearts]]. The time has arrived for expanded level of [[truth]] to begin correction. We come not for ourselves. No, indeed. Rather, only in service of [[Michael]].

RAYSON: Children, on a [[purely]] [[human]] level there is [[disappointment]] and [[confusion]] in some of your [[minds]]. However, let me broaden your [[perceptions]]. [[Human being]]s are unpredictable. They [[react]] from centers of [[emotion]] - [[primitive]] [[fear]], defiance, [[resistance]] to [[change]] and [[growth]], inaction, [[anger]], [[ego]]-guarding positions of [[power]] and misguided [[impulses]] to protect …..It is not our [[responsibility]] to [[control]], predict their [[reception]] of this [[truth]]. It was our [[responsibility]] to present the [[truth]] of the second [[stage]] of the [[Fifth Epochal Revelation]] to the official guardians of the first [[stage]]. We have done our job and done well. Most especially the [[Wood Cross TeaM|teaching group from Utah]] have stood shining and bright in front of much [[scorn]], but have not lost their loving [[hearts]] and [[minds]].

Throughout [[history]] men have had the irrational need to malign the [[good, beautiful, truthful]] in others. How sad to see some of these same [[reactions]] in the [[presence]] of the [[Planetary Prince]]. But not so [[surprising]] when one considers what this [[species]] did to our beloved [[Creator Son]] when he [[sojourned]] here in the [[flesh]]. [[Lucifer]] himself was [[shamed]] by the [[actions]] of these [[mortals]]. I am not [[comparing]] this to the [[crucifixion]] of [[our Master]], no. But I am comparing some of the irrational [[actions]] that continue to infest your [[race]] when presented with higher [[truth]]. What the [[mind]] cannot [[absorb]], the [[animal]] [[attacks]]. How shall we deal with these [[reactions]]? Brothers and sisters, the [[power]] of our [[commission]], [[The Father]], and our Creator Father [[Michael]] [[wish]] to give you other [[tools]] to enhance your own [[spiritual]] [[growth]]. The brighter you shine, the closer you live to [[God]]'s [[truth]], the more other [[humans]] will want what you [[possess]].

Therefore, let us [[ignore]] the [[negative]]; let us not give [[energy]] to the unreal. In your own [[heart]]-[[mind]] you know what is true. The [[Spirit of truth]] is there for all. Search for this Spirit and he will show the way. You know this already and are true [40:5|faith-filled sons and daughters of the universe]]. Do not [[waste]] [[energy]] with non-believers, attackers. Rather, spend your time on those who [[hunger]] for [[guidance]] - and there will be many. Let us not have heavy [[hearts]].

Let me [[assure]] you, and [[share]] with you the [[wonderful]] [[celebration]] which we [[celestial]] [[beings]] [[participated]] in last night: the [[celebration]] of the [[public]] [[awareness]] of the reign of our Acting [[Planetary Prince]]. And children, what a Prince this [[Melchizedek]] is! How many [[planets]] have as their [[planetary prince]] a [[being]] of such immense [[love]], [[wisdom]], and [[light]] as our beloved [[Machiventa]], a [[being]], who has [[intimately]] lived, [[studied]], and loved this [[planet]] and its [[humans]] for such a long time? Indeed, a [[teacher]] who has actually [[incarnated]] as one of you. How [[blessed]] this [[planet]] is to have this special watch-care of [[Michael]] and such a [[wonderfully]] experienced [[planetary prince]]. I bring you commendations from Prince [[Machiventa]]. I bring you his [[love]]. I bring you his [[prayers]]. And above all, I bring you his [[promise]] that this [[mission]] will not fail. Someday, my children, your [[names]] will be sung on the lips of [[angels]] even as were the names of [[Van]] and [[Amadon]]. This we [[promise]] you. Human [[suffering]] is [[temporal]], [[spiritual]] [[growth]] [[eternal]]. You have all grown and will continue to [[grow]]. With [[God]], my children, nothing - absolutely nothing - is impossible. Be of good [[cheer]]. See through the eyes of the [[spirit]] and you will behold greater [[miracles]]. God bless you all, and [[farewell]]. (02/02/92)

===='''''[[Faith]]'''''====

[On February 9, 1992, [[Rayson]] said to his [[students]]] Before our lesson I would like to convey my [[feelings]] of admiration for your [[human]] [[hearts]] and [[minds]] who so genuinely seek [[the Father]]'s will and so [[respect]] the [[sanctity]] of this [[mission]] that you concern yourselves with things which are sometimes beyond your [[wisdom]]. I have [[listened]] to your [[discussion]] and am honored to be [[associated]] with such a high-minded [[group]]. ([[T/R]]) is slightly resentful of [[analysis]], but she will in time come to [[accept]] this human [[curiosity]] as part of her [[destiny]]. The fruits, [[growth]], [[morontia]]l [[sight]] which will steadily increase due to these teachings and our [[associations]] will more than [[compensate]] for [[human]] [[Injury|hurts]], flaws, insecurities that might be felt along the [[path]]. In the near [[future]] it will matter not what others [[think]], feel, say, as you all will make such [[spiritual]] [[growth]]-[[progress]] that this will appear as merely an annoyance or [[shadow]] of [[reality]] - which indeed it is. [[God]] reaches His [[children]] through many means. You are fortunate to have the ears to hear directly. You will [[feel]] [[tolerance]] and [[compassion]] for those brothers and sisters who, invited to the [[wedding]], refused to attend. [[God]] will not discontinue knocking at their [[hearts]] and [[minds]] and [[souls]], and will reach these children through other means. Indeed, they are already [[assured]] [[survival]] by their [[faith]]. But it is a [[privilege]], brothers and sisters, to directly [[interface]] with the [[66:5|Prince's staff]]. And for this each of you should [[feel]] a sense of great accomplishment and [[privilege]], for you are among the first humans to be [[trained]] and sent out into the world with our teachings and [[blessings]]. This is no small accomplishment.

Let me assure you, and share with you the wonderful celebration which we celestial beings participated in last night: the celebration of the public awareness of the reign of our Acting Planetary Prince. And children, what a Prince this MELCHIZEDEK is! How many planets have as their planetary prince a being of such immense love, wisdom, and light as our beloved MACHIVENTA, a being, who has intimately lived, studied, and loved this planet and its humans for such a long time? Indeed, a teacher who has actually incarnated as one of you. How blessed this planet is to have this special watch-care of MICHAEL and such a wonderfully experienced planetary prince. I bring you commendations from Prince MACHIVENTA. I bring you his love. I bring you his prayers. And above all, I bring you his promise that this mission will not fail. Someday, my children, your names will be sung on the lips of angels even as were the names of Van and Amadon. This we promise you. Human suffering is temporal, spiritual growth eternal. You have all grown and will continue to grow. With God, my children, nothing - absolutely nothing - is impossible. Be of good cheer. See through the eyes of the spirit and you will behold greater miracles. God bless you all, and farewell. (02/02/92)

Your [[faith]] has [[earned]] you this place. Your openness has given your [[spiritual]] eyes [[sight]] and ears hearing. Your [[hearts]] are greatly [[blessed]] and your [[soul]] [[growth]] increased through this [[association]]. This is not because I am a great [[teacher]] or [[Paper 40|ascender]]. No. It is because your [[agondonter]] [[faith]] is so strong. I commend you, and great will be your [[soul]]'s reward as well as [[earthly]] benefits. This I [[assure]] you of, children. You will not only [[earn]] a place in [[heaven]], but your place on this [[planet]] will be greatly improved in all areas of your earthly life. Even the [[material]]. This is not a reward, but it is a direct result of [[spiritual]] [[knowledge]] and [[growth]]. It is true, to him who [[believes]] in me [[God]] said "all things are possible." ALL things, brothers and sisters, not just the large. ALL things. Take this in, children. The [[quality]] of your lives will increase. [[God]] will direct your step. And things will become easy. You will have [[spiritual]] lessons. No one can avoid the waters of [[despair]], [[disappointment]], [[doubt]], [[fear]], [[envy]], [[jealousy]], [[anger]], these are [[inevitabilities]], children. But your lives will increase in the good [[fruits of the spirit]]. This is a [[promise]].

[On February 9, 1992, RAYSON said to his students] Before our lesson I would like to convey my feelings of admiration for your human hearts and minds who so genuinely seek the FATHER's will and so respect the sanctity of this mission that you concern yourselves with things which are sometimes beyond your wisdom. I have listened to your discussion and am honored to be associated with such a high-minded group. (T/R) is slightly resentful of analysis, but she will in time come to accept this human curiosity as part of her destiny. The fruits, growth, morontial sight which will steadily increase due to these teachings and our associations will more than compensate for human hurts, flaws, insecurities that might be felt along the path.

[After the [[formal]] lesson, the third lesson on [[Thought Adjusters]], the following Q's & A's occurred]
 +
===Dialogue===
 +
Q: Are the [[repercussions]] that occur from people [[speaking]] against our [[group]] ultimately helpful to the group, or are they damaging?
   −
Your faith has earned you this place. Your openness has given your spiritual eyes sight and ears hearing. Your hearts are greatly blessed and your soul growth increased through this association. This is not because I am a great teacher or ascender. No. It is because your agondonter faith is so strong. I commend you, and great will be your soul's reward as well as earthly benefits. This I assure you of, children. You will not only earn a place in heaven, but your place on this planet will be greatly improved in all areas of your earthly life. Even the material. This is not a reward, but it is a direct result of spiritual knowledge and growth. It is true, to him who believes in me God said "all things are possible." ALL things, brothers and sisters, not just the large. ALL things. Take this in, children. The quality of your lives will increase. God will direct your step. And things will become easy. You will have spiritual lessons. No one can avoid the waters of despair, disappointment, doubt, fear, envy, jealousy, anger, these are inevitabilities, children. But your lives will increase in the good fruits of the spirit. This is a promise.
+
A: There can be no damage from this except to the [[individuals]] who engage in this [[discussion]], depending upon their [[motivation]]. Some are [[sincere]] and concerned. Some are merely engaging in what you refer to as idle chat or [[gossip]]. Some are threatened, and they themselves do not [[understand]] why, by the [[teaching mission]]. They grope for - they grope to fill in the [[reason]] for their unease, [[fear]], and so [[invent]] rational objections. They themselves do not [[understand]] their own [[resistance]]. Nor do they have to [[participate]] beliefs. This is something that will be with you humans, these [[reactions]], until [[Light and Life]].

===='''''[[Planetary Government]]'''''====
 +
Q: Teacher Rayson, What was the significance of the [[meeting]] with Teacher [[Ham]] in Los Angeles? What was really meant? Was this the [[formal]] announcement to this [[planet]] that teacher Melchizedek - I mean that Prince Melchizedek - has taken over as [[Planetary Prince]]? Was that the significance of this [[meeting]]?
   −
[After the formal lesson, the third lesson on Thought Adjusters, the following Q's & A's occurred]
+
A: Yes, it was. It was called to be [[announced]] to those who would [[understand]] its import. What better [[group]] to announce this to? Most [[humans]] have no [[awareness]] of the office of [[Planetary Prince]] or that there is a [[celestial]] [[government]] in place. So this was our [[formal]] [[announcement]] to those who [[understand]] what we were talking about.
   −
Q: Are the repercussions that occur from people speaking against our group ultimately helpful to the group, or are they damaging?
+
Q: Then we were [[participants]] in a very momentous [[event]], when this happened. Only once, I presume, on a [[planet]].

Q: Was that the day [[Machiventa]] [[Melchizedek]] began serving? Or was that the [[announcement]].

Q: I have a question, which has to do with planetary government. Prince MACHIVENTA MELCHIZEDEK is Planetary Prince. When Caligastia was Planetary Prince he had a deputy of the same order by the name of Daligastia. I'm just wondering if Prince MACHIVENTA has an assistant Planetary Prince.

These two MELCHIZEDEKs are subordinate to Prince MACHIVENTA and will be involved as he sees fit in the teaching mission and in other areas which I am only partially allowed to disclose to you. The planet right now is undergoing a huge and quite possibly devastating regressive backward-sliding economic upheaval. This is but the beginning of much change globally. These MELCHIZEDEKs will be working in many other world areas to stabilize the effects of collapse and starvation, mitigate and work with world government, some of whom will be activated, the human reservists, highly placed figures, to offset the economic conditions which cause people to fear and respond with warlike behavior.

The teaching staff have learned a great deal during the time of rest. First, the human faith is strong, but applied faith tends to slip away in day to day pressures and stresses of life. It has occurred to greater and lesser degrees in each of our spiritual family, and has been inconsistent in each individual. We thank The FATHER for this time of learning from Him, for we have realized that perhaps we started on too mindally high a level, and we are grateful to learn from our mistakes. So we have been busy rewriting and revising the syllabus. At our core of caring is your spiritual growth. Secondary is to turn out wonderful truth-teachers and living spiritual brothers and sisters, beacons of light and love to draw others to God. You are really already that, but you can become even more so. And this we wish to help you with. This is not a criticism for you truly, children, are the light on this planet. There are many others like yourselves, but you are my flock and I am proud of each of you and love each of you, ceaselessly. It is hard to fully understand the human existence, so we make errors. But this is a great adventure for all sides, non-corporeal and material beings alike, reaching across time and space, holding hands spiritually in a great quest for spiritual advancement. We all advance through this teamwork, this wonderful blessing and miracle that MICHAEL, acting for our Universal Father, has permitted to occur here on this special planet, blessed and distressed by so much evolutionary anomaly. Another chapter in the unwritten book of growth, no one having a model for the outcome, guessing, rethinking, living, giving to the Supreme the most rare of experiences: a cooperative effort between worlds, between spirits, between ascenders.

For us it is so exciting! We are so conscientious to make the best effort as we are aware of mistakes in the past and the repercussions in your own lives. We wish no harm to come to you or your friends. Enough hurt has been left in the legacy of Caligastia, to last many, many lifetimes. We wish to be the correctors. We wish to offer our experience and love and inspiration to you humans who have such a difficult walk in the flesh. Even the Master, Himself, had times of great distress. The human form is incapable of unlimited perception, and thus seen on the smallest fragment of reality, is easily discouraged and pushed into despair, isolation, anger, loneliness.

But be not anxious, for great tools are yours. Great love is yours. Our Master-Creator, MICHAEL of Nebadon, personally looks after Urantia. He loves all His creatures but you are especially beloved by this great Creator. His mercy extends to every being but His mercy is especially tender towards you. MICHAEL is wise, patient, loving, good, beautiful, truthful and the way to The FATHER. He will never fail you no matter how many times, humans, you may fail yourself. Faltering on the path is part of Growth. And now we will put this period to good constructive use, the clay to mold the art from. And together we will create goodness. Together we will create a glory to MICHAEL. We will rededicate our wills to this purpose: to doing and discerning the will of the Universal Father, to loving and worshiping God, to reflecting God's love in our daily lives, to serving our fellows with more love and understanding, and to serving ourselves with self-love, forgiveness, acceptance of our flaws, and a true strong spiritual attitude that we are children of the most benevolent, merciful, and loving God - MICHAEL of Nebadon - and his partner, the Universal Mother Spirit.

This can only inspire faith and acts based on spiritual poise. We will not allow defeat, disappointment, to cause negativity. Rather they will spur us onward to make spiritual war for the good. We will not allow our victories to feed our egos, children. Rather we will handle our victories with poise as befits a pilgrim of time and space. This is spiritual soldiering. This is total centeredness as Jesus lived it here. (07/26/92)
