Monjoronson (Jonathan TR):  Greetings to you, this is Monjoronson.  I am [[honored]] and empowered by the Almighty [[God]] to be in [[service]] with each of you and to provide my brother Michael with [[assistance]] in bringing about his goals for [[Nebadon]] and all his beloved [[children]] residing therein.  You are fortunate to be under his care; he is a [[mercy]] son; therefore his [[love]] is not only for you unconditionally but is there for you [[Transformation|transformationally]] to bring you up to [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_106 higher levels] of being and to broader levels of [[consciousness]] and into [[being]] one who can give the [[love]] to others that he gives to you.

Question #2: Are these [[interventions]] you speak of truly [[classified]] as the [[providence]] of [[God]]?  Please [[explain]] the [[presence]] of [[providence]] in the [[work]] of [[Urantia]]’s [[Correcting Time]], especially as you may see the [[work]] of [[the Supreme]] here.

Monjoronson:  I will first address the question by making a broad general [[statement]] that wherever the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_20 divine Sons] [[function]] [[God]] is extending His hand into the affairs of His [[children]].  Therefore the [[presence]] of [[Michael]], [[Mother Spirit]], myself, and many other [[Paradise]] [[origin]] [[beings]] [[function]] [[Providence|providentially]].  However, I must stress that this [[providence]] is not in the [[form]] of a [[miraculous]] extension of the [[divine]], but it is a [[utility]], a means whereby the [[divine]] makes contact with [[creatures]] and therefore is from our [[perspective]] an ordinary [[duty]].  However as [[creatures]] [[respond]] to the reach of [[God]] into their lives they [[reveal]] certain strengths and certain weaknesses.  This is a [[Supreme]] [[response]] to the Almighty God, that is the [[creatures]]' [[actions]], they become a [[form]] of [[prayer]], and [[providence]] will [[function]] specifically to bring [[healing]] or [[revelation]] to that [[individual]], for when any of you begin to [[function]] with us in uplifting this world or perhaps a [[community]] or even smaller [[groups]] such as your [[family]], God will [[assure]] that each one is [[touched]] by His [[truth]] and that [[wisdom]] is enhanced that all may [[function]] in [[harmony]] [[together]].

While it is [[observed]] that the [[action]] of God within the lives of [[human beings]] by human beings to be a special [[event]], I must stress that it is not so forthcoming as a [[response]] to dire need, but it is rather [[bestowed]] in [[response]] to [[creature]] openness and willingness to [[receive]].

Question #4: Becoming right-minded takes a lot of [[work]] on the [[human]] part since we believe that to [[change]] the [[mind]] we have to have a reason to make the change.  What does [[spirit]] do which [[acts]] to help move minds toward the [[Enlightenment|light]], especially right-mindedness?

Monjoronson:  Much of what you have [[stated]] that places [[context]] for these questions are [[true]] and valuable to the [[human being]].  Let me add to this [[context]] a condition to the term “[[right-mindedness]]”. Right-mindedness is not simply a [[state]] of [[being]] that you [[attain]].  It is an [[orientation]] of mind which facilitates [[growth]].  When the [[divine]] [[spirit]], the [[Thought Adjuster]], draws upon you to lead you to elevate you in [[soul]] [[consciousness]], right-mindedness is the [[ability]] to [[respond]], to [[perceive]], to assimilate, and to enact what the [[Divine Spirit]] is bringing into you.  There is no [[established]] state of [[right-mindedness]]; it is a continuous condition and, as you mentioned the phrase, “I am willing, Father, to do your will” is right-minded orientation.

You know that the needle of the [[compass]] points north, that you may spin the case within which the needle resides to make it appear to point south, west, or north based upon the layout.  Nonetheless the compass needle is pointing true north.  When one is so [[spiritually]] oriented they have right-mindedness.  They [[orient]] to the [[discernment]] of [[truth]] continually regardless of ones level of [[enlightenment]].

I will also make one more [[analogy]].  The wind may be likened to the [[force]] of the [[Divine]] [[Spirit]] within you drawing you toward [[God]] on [[Paradise]].  Right-mindedness is the willingness to turn and go with that wind somewhat like would a weather vane or a sail.  My [[illustration]] here is to emphasize that the [[attainment]], that is, the ongoing condition of [[right-mindedness]], is as simple as the turning of the weather vane in the direction of the wind.  It is far more [[difficult]] to [[resist]] and point another way.

Be not concerned that right-mindedness must be an adherence to [[guidelines]] of [[behavior]], to [[social]] [[standards]], or those of [[religious]] [[institutions]], or the [[understanding]] of [[Scripture|scriptural]] teachings.  It is simply your [[ability]] to [[orient]] and move toward the higher levels of living that will bring you to [[Light and Life]].

Question #5: In the same session you reminded the [[audience]] that: “Each and every one of you who [[sojourns]] with this [[divine]] component of the self, the [[Adjuster]], makes one an island of [[stability]] when all things seem to shift, and as such an island of stability you become positioned to have a great impact and [[effect]] on the [[pattern]] of shift that occurs around you.”  We ask: Is it the [[Adjuster]] alone who takes [[responsibility]] for the shift to rightmindedness?  Or may we say that the [[presence]] of a [[Paradise Son]] also [[contributes]] in great ways to help us shift to this type of [[thinking]]?

Monjoronson:  All [[beings]] including your own [[Guardian Angels|attending angels]] [[work]] in [[harmony]] and [[assist]] one another.  As regards your own [[personal]] [[spiritual]] well-being, it is the [[Thought Adjuster]] who is in full charge.  Those of us in proximity are attending to the task that this [[divine]] [[spirit]] is working to accomplish.  If there are external conditions, social environs, workplace, world [[conflicts]], or the like, we have broader range of [[function]] under our own [[power]] of [[Free will|will]].

If I may return to the [[idea]] of the [[compass]], we will do what we can to turn the casing so that the N of north aligns with the needle that points the true way.  Your [[right-mindedness]] again is to follow that [[magnetic pole]] of the [[Thought Adjuster|divine spirit]].  It will [[assist]] those around you to [[realize]] they must shift their [[orientation]], and we will do what we can within your [[environment]] to [[assist]] that shift of [[consciousness]].

Question #6:  What is the most basic, [[foundational]] [[change]] to life on [[Urantia]] that must be put into place for the [[Correcting Time]] to be successful?  Is achieving right-mindedness where it should start?  Or is it something even more basic than that?

Monjoronson:  As regards the [[individual]]’s [[right-mindedness]], it’s a proper way of looking at what will [[assist]] the world.  But this [[planet]] in particular has a great lesson to learn as of yet, and that is the [[ability]] to live in [[harmony]] with one another.  This entails learning to address [[differences]] of [[viewpoint]] with care and [[compassion]] for one another in a [[sincere]] [[desire]] to bring the greatest [[good]] for all.  [[Human beings]] are wired to have a broad range of ''viewpoints'', for that [[stimulates]] the [[growth]] of each one.  But your world currently engages all too often in [[forcing]] the [[orientation]] of one [[perspective]] upon others or excluding others from that [[orientation]].

There will come a time when, and I say figuratively speaking, the skies will open and you will be introduced to your [[cosmic]] brothers and sisters from afar or from a dimension above.  The time now is to learn to [[cooperate]] with yourselves; it’s a basic lesson; it’s a kindergarten level of social [[behavior]].  Then you will be [[prepared]] for the [[embrace]] of your higher brothers and sisters.  You will not be visited until you learn this lesson, for we wish to spare you the [[embarrassment]] for not having come [[prepared]].  So I am here and hosts of [[ministering spirits]] dwell upon your world to take your hand and show you the way.  If you take our hands, that is [[rightmindedness]].  As you step, that is also that same willingness; when you step we go forward.

Preamble:  As part of your answer concerning self-acting Adjusters and membership in the Reserve Corps on Urantia, you emphasized this, “Be not concerned noticing your engagement and connectivity with the divine presence or its detachment or its removal for periods of time.  Be most concerned about your orientation with reality, with divinity, with the expression of the will of God, for the bottom line of what is important is the human ability to align with truth and beauty and goodness.  The divine spirit is there to assist you, but if you do that on your own, in your own power, with your own will, you are expressing the greatest power of God within the human being.”

Monjoronson:  Yes, I resist simply stating the affirmative and leaving it at that, but clearly that is the simple response, for what you have stated is true.  The clarification I would add, or perhaps more accurately an emphasis, is that the human involvement in the Reserve Corps is an aspect of the Supreme process, and that the seraphic corps that manage these human enlistees are also engaged in the Supreme unfoldment.  I say this to affirm your observation.  You are correct.

Question #8:  Whose concern is it, the reserve corps?, that something like the Fifth Epochal Revelation’s presence on Urantia is not destroyed much like the library at Alexandria was destroyed containing priceless manuscripts?  We are told that the text is widely enough dispersed on Urantia that it is unlikely to be lost.  However it is not something like the Reserve Corps which may be asked to provide insurance that such a removal is even more likely to happen.

Monjoronson:  While there are those enlisted in the Reserve Corps who may function in a manner to preserve any epochal revelation, these corps exist for a broader purpose, and that is for the betterment of all aspects of human culture and civilization. They are capable of functioning in stabilizing matters during conflicts and progressive matters during stagnation, all in regard to human evolution.  The prime purpose is to be a functioning stimulant to evolution at a time of crisis; not to be, necessarily, a preserver of revelation.  Revelation will ever be forthcoming even if some is lost, and you know that several of your epochal revelatory efforts were lost or severely distorted, and your world has managed to grow.

I hope this assists you.

Preamble:  You once said: "In the spaces between moments of time exists spirit and spirit connections."  A little later: “As to the spiritual pressure that is being applied to Urantia, it is correct to visualize a blanket action with the spirit pressure being drawn more tightly and pressed deeply into the planet itself.”

Question #9:  I really enjoy the poetic statement you provide us about where spirit exists in time, but I do not comprehend how spirit finds space between moments when time to us flows in one continuum.  Is it the case of the eternal now being present in the flow of time?

Question #10:  I’ve always questioned what was meant by “spiritual pressure”.

   −
Monjoronson:  It will be difficult to address this question for spirit does not exist in time, and that is why the comment was made that spirit functions between moments of time.  You do perceive time as a movement, a train of successive moments.  Spiritual pressure is an attempt to bring spiritual reality into the time frame of human living.

If I may I will use your physics and its understanding of pressure, volume, and temperature.  If you look at volume as time, spiritual pressure will change the orientation of the mind in time. If we increase the pressure, we can shorten the time, that is if the temperature is constant.  But we are looking to increase the temperature on this world, to fire it up and stimulate its growth. If you are going to be fixed in your perception of time, our pressure will get stronger to increase the temperature.  If you can expand your comprehension of time, you increase your volume of awareness.  We do not need to add so much to our pressure, for you are doing the work, and the temperature heats up.

You have referenced the eternal now.  Since spirit exists between the moments of time, if your perception of time is of all time, not linearly oriented from past to future, but all at once, then you increase the size of your moment from instantaneous to eternal.  Then the beginning and the end become one and the each and every becomes all.  There you will discern more directly the function of spirit.

If you hop, skip, and jump between one instant and the next you will be too busy jumping from one to the other and will miss the function of spirit.  But enlarging the time consciousness then you will be able to perceive the movement of spirit in your life.

Monjoronson:  My concluding comment is this: that while you look with that [[anticipation]] and [[acceptance]] toward [[spirit]] [[assistance]], be it from the [[Thought Adjuster|Divine Indweller]] to those like myself assigned to your world, do [[value]] greatly every [[effort]] you make toward your own [[personal]] [[growth]] and toward [[planetary]] advancement.  We truly are all in this [[together]].  While I may be of a stature of [[being]] far above you and have great [[authority]] in comparison, you are equally valuable in our project.  If you were worthless there would be no need for us to be here.  You are the treasure of [[God]], and that is our [[motivation]] to be here to serve, to help.  So while you look [[sincerely]] toward us for [[guidance]], also be [[brave]] and [[creative]] in asserting yourselves in your lives based on what you have come to [[understand]] in [[cosmic]] [[reality]] as it can apply to your [[temporal]] [[reality]].
