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]].

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 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Magnetic_Pole 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?

Question #7:  Could one make the generalized [[statement]] that those who are members of the [[reserve corps]] are also aligned with [[the Supreme]] in some [[manner]] as well as with the Father’s will?

May it be said that seeking to [[Doing the will of God|do the will of the Father]] is the same as  [[embracing]] [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_56#56:10._TRUTH.2C_BEAUTY.2C_AND_GOODNESS truth, beauty, and goodness]?

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 [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_114#114:6._THE_MASTER_SERAPHIM_OF_PLANETARY_SUPERVISION 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 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandrian_library library at Alexandria] was destroyed containing priceless [[manuscript]]s?  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 [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_92#92:4._THE_GIFT_OF_REVELATION several of your epochal revelatory efforts] were lost or severely distorted, and your world has managed to [[grow]].

The preservation of the [[writings]] that make up the [[Fifth Epochal Revelation]] will continue as long as [[human beings]] are interested in the continuing publishing and reprinting of the [[texts]] involved.  We do not look toward your corps of reservists as programmed beings capable of repeating in recitation what is contained therein. I [[hope]] this [[assists]] you.

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 [[Motion|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]], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume volume], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature 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 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature 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 [[linear]]ly 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]].
