Session

Opening

Athena: “I greet you, my dear human student, friend and brother. Today it falls to (Midwayer) Sharmon to gladly do the honors of translating my words. I am Athena, a Celestial Artisan and former human, honored to have been given the required curriculum by your Prince (Machiventa) to help advance the group, which specializes in bringing newcomers to ‘the starting gates of spirituality’ from which they will run their personal race to eternal perfection.

Lesson

“In this lesson we speak about meditation. There always is ‘something’ happening in meditation. There always is progress. And there always is repairs, and or correction, going on. However, neither you nor I can say at what point in progress anyone has arrived. God knows, the Life Carriers can come pretty close, and the likes of Dr. Mendoza would have a fairly good idea -- always still learning – yes, he is one of the greatest psychic surgeons this planet will ever see in cases where either repairs, or correction, is required.

“Of course, your Angels and Destiny Guardians are intimately apprized of your progress. Their task, however is not to communicate with you, but to safeguard you, and only in cases of dire emergency, contact you. Only in retrospect, and usually after a prolonged period of time, will you begin to have an inkling of your soul-progress. There is yet a series of factors to take into consideration when a mortal student tries to strike a comparison between self and others who are seemingly making more progress.

“The question that will only sometimes be answered is, ‘Where are you coming from?’ There is no typical Urantia mortal. You are all different, unlike the citizens of most other worlds. Even in a single family, the variations can be huge, for as you well know, talents vary so much. Even at this stage, psychological profiling must be considered to be primitive when it tries to determine suitability for meditation and latent or potential capacity for hearing and seeing your Celestial Teachers . . . also always still dependent on their having been given permission to be heard or seen.

“Always still, it is the Thought Adjuster who looks ahead of time to determine the all-important intent to contribute, your diligence, your persistence. And yet meditation is never a waste of time, for meditation creates a closer alignment with the Spark of God. It is prayer, in fact.

“Consider how many times you were told that the ‘subject’ finally enjoys better sleep patterns, finds it easier to deal with family, solves difficult problems with greater ease, has become a better negotiator or arbitrator. Consider. Meditation firstly ‘goes where it does most good,’ there is no waste of time, and there is always something positive happening – there is soul-growth. Have trust.

Closing

“This is Athena who considers her many years of painting and sculpture, pottery and wood carving in co-creation with the Creator of all, to have been an important part of her personal soul-growth, even now not quite knowing to what degree it produced this soul-growth. My love goes out to you all.”

George: “Thank you both.”
