Lesson

Hello, my friends, I am Machiventa. When you ask why I would come to you, this is why: because you have asked and you have listened. I know you wonder about your clarity at times, whether it’s truly me or another teacher among the various presences that work with you. I can’t say you haven’t misperceived the name on occasion, but this is not all that uncommon for many. Trust this, that regardless of who you hear from - the various teachers, myself or any other - we can interchangeably address the issues at hand, for we are not segmented in our ministry. There is a cohesive nature to it all, such that the various teachers and ministers are aware of the basic understanding of what is happening in each of your lives and if they are not, they can quickly ascertain via the other agents involved in the connection or by sending a message through the channels and getting a near immediate response. Your world and the view that it is distorted and flawed causes you to doubt our ability to transcend those limitations when, in reality, the efficiency of our operation is very high, although very complex, and yet, dynamically engaged in the manifestation of insight to those desiring to understand at a higher degree.

You have wondered if this approach to receive in this way draws you away from your relationship with your Divine Monitor, and there are times when you reach out to us that your focus could be more directly on your relationship with God. It does happen, which is why we encourage you to spend more time in stillness and worship. But understand your Divine Monitors are directly involved in this ministry to the extent that they cooperate in allowing agency to take place when there is a possibility of us sharing insight that cannot be imparted directly at the current time. In this allowance, the monitors participate and add flavor, color, texture and insight to the conversation.

I know you have many questions about what we intend to do on this world and whether and how you can participate, enable, bring about, or add to the higher stream of consciousness that makes it possible for spiritual achievement to move forward for individuals and groups and your planet. The very desire to know God, to know reality, and to manifest in that energy is a sign that you have been called. But to what calling, you inquire?

I would say to work to clear out the peripherals in your lives, to focus on the essentials of your relationships, of your development, of your health and welfare, for you, your family, your community and when the leadings seem achievable, to proceed. These are the types of personalities we are looking for. Any imagined sense of fear or questions of worthiness should be let go of, for even as the lowest person on a team involves themselves in activities to benefit that team they are still a member of that team even if they are simply there to cheer on game day. We are trying to create the village of Urantia, a strong sense of community for your world, for you have heard that “it takes a village,” and this falls to all personalities who can recognize their role to step up and participate. The only time activities become detrimental or regressive are when you are forcing it, when you are trying to achieve at the expense of others, or desiring for some successes that might cause failure in others.

Q: So I wonder about the group and our evolving philosophy and how we proceed. I strongly resonate to recent comments that have mentioned how we can adapt the language of our inspirations, one of those being the Urantia papers, but in looking at this, are the Urantia teachings important to keep as a foundation? Can we do just fine without this emphasis? I don’t know quite how to phrase what I’m getting at.

Machiventa: My friend, it is not a coincidence that some of our teachings of late have emphasized the revelation. We have asked you as a group to anchor yourselves in your understanding of reality and the purposes and principles of this project and ministry so that when new ideas get proposed they are seen through the lens of the purposes of this mission. Lifting anchor from the strong foundation of the fifth epochal revelation to explore the universe in a free and open manner, without hindrance or concern for those foundational teachings, might be akin to proposing that you don’t need legs in your journey because you have arms and eyes and hands and mouth. You see the obvious problematic nature of this assertion.

It is true that as you look to discuss your spirituality with others that talking in terms they can understand better might be beneficial, but this is not the same as equating all philosophies as being equal and having equal standing or needing to have equal air time. Your group has come together with the foundation of this revelation and that cannot be denied. We have proposed certain activities that you might engage in that might be beneficial for your spiritual growth individually and collectively and societally. This is the mission, to understand your connection to the Divine spark within and to listen for guidance, to ask what you can do each day to grow, to look for ways you can be of service to others. These manifestations are your key to being successful spiritually.

If you think about Lucifer’s great folly and those who followed, it was to deny reality, to deny that his Creator was telling the truth about the nature of why the various active ministries throughout the universe were being undertaken, and to assert that it wasn’t necessary to follow the course set forth. He had other ideas and thought by pursuing them and denying his current path it would be just as acceptable universally because those foundations were merely a story being told to assert control.

What I ask you to do and what your teachers ask of you and what your Indwelling spirit asks of you is to listen within and to set aside that which doesn’t serve you so that you might be served from a place that will allow you to blossom into an ever increasing luminous force of goodness, pursuing truth instead of folly, anchoring in that internal reality and trusting that this very process you are undergoing within and that you have chosen to join with us is leading toward beneficial places.

Stay solid in your truth; be open to hearing what others think and believe; but keep your integrity about what you believe reality holds, for that is more attractive when being manifested than simply assertions.

Q: So if we open this up and invite others to check out what we’re doing, I guess then what do we do when people come with alternate or even conflicting ideas at times?

Machiventa: You have heard the stories about Michael and the apostles, and the lesson of the teacher coming into camp with varied philosophies that did not correlate directly with the sensibilities of the apostles or Jesus. You know the apostles wanted to dispatch this person from their midst in an abrupt manner while Michael told them to let it be, and forthwith, in due time, the preacher left with those souls who did not have the attachments or strong foundations within Michael’s ministry.

It is okay to acknowledge the beliefs of others from a place that is caring or loving and yet still stay true to your purposes. Given the floor, one can propose new possibilities of awareness and as you consider or determine its worth or its value, if it is not consistent with your purposes and principles you can offer for those interested to create their own grouping or collective to follow an alternative path.

Your purpose is not to absorb all paths, for we know how the message of Michael was distorted by the well intentioned efforts of persons who thought that adjusting the message so others would feel included would bring about a greater degree of community than by staying true. But we can also see where that has led the message of Michael to today on your world and the distortions with which it has lost its savor, where what is being asserted looks very different than the intentions that Michael brought forth as Jesus.

Rest assured that as we further manifest our presence on your world, part of the initial steps will be the dissolving or eliminating of the distortions with a comprehensive effort to provide clarity in many areas. What you can ask yourself, is whether it is the purpose of your group collective to absorb other philosophies so you can grow larger or to stay true to the purposes and processes we are trying to delineate and have you follow.

The fifth epochal revelation is a foundational element of the ministry we are here providing to your world. It is the precursor, the “John the Baptist” to the time of correction that will lead to the reimplementation of Michael’s ministry on your world in the form of the planetary advisors and ministers you should have present on your world.

If you or any of your friends have questions about the validity or the structure or content or purposes or assertions, take it within. Ask those questions. We are glad to respond. Do not shy away from dealing with the difficult questions or circumstances when they are important to the outworking of your mission and ministry. Not all conflict can be avoided, my friends, for there can be no union between truth and error, darkness and light.

Will you live based upon what you know to be true and what you want to do to better your world or will you just try to make everyone happy so that no one ever disagrees? You know that those attempts are never successful in the end, for the compromise of personality expression never achieves union, but rather when addressing the issues with honesty, integrity, clarity, and sincerity, can the light shine forth from that place to provide a higher level of awareness and provide the glimpse of what you can do together with others and where you must take that or take those differences. And sometimes it is necessary to grapple with challenges and determine the best way forward from your own sense of spirit connection than for you to simply be given cut and dried answers, black and white.

If you go back through the various lessons we have shared, you will see how many times we have talked about there being many groups throughout your world that we work with to try and achieve some level of spiritual growth and development that can benefit the planet. Take heart that there are various ministries occurring across your world. This does not mean that each of these groups have similarly valuable philosophies. There is more or less distortion in each one of these groupings regarding their belief system about what they perceive is happening. We are not proposing that each of these groups all come together to blend their philosophies and create one united philosophy. It would not be advisable or practical because their message is not always equally valuable.

There is a degree of value that is worthwhile in these groups who believe there are possibilities on the horizon for a change on your world, looking within and finding your connection to the higher minds, which can be proposed as spiritual beings, or God, aliens or otherwise. We trust that these various groupings will eventually create an impetus toward the conditions which will manifest our mission more prominently on your world.

Your mission, as you see it for yourself and as your grouping sees it collectively, should stay true to your purposes even as you may invite others to join in that effort. The ones who resonate to your message will stay and others may go. This is okay because of free will choice and the various lures, magnets throughout your world, that draw people toward various channels of activity. Don’t be everything for everybody, but be true to what you believe is true and beckon others to observe that and decide if it resonates true to them.

Know when to speak up in defense of the truth and when to allow others to speak theirs and when to let them go their way toward their direction, for personalities may come and go in time and space, in the material existence, but as you progress forward from this life to the mansion worlds and beyond, these personalities who have stayed true will all eventually align into a true unity of purpose and intention even while having varied perspectives due to the uniqueness of each personality. Do what you can today and let the future be the result of those actions, rather than trying to complete a perfect future without taking the steps in your daily life and with those who resonate with you to achieve those ends.

My friends, we are not engaged in driving wedges, but building bridges so that those who want to can cross them and bring their love of truth and desire for beauty and goodness to a place where they reign supreme. As we go toward a vision of a future that lives in the light of Michael, of our Father and Mother, know that many things may come and go, many ideas, many cherished beliefs, long held perspectives, but the quickening, the shining, the polishing of your soul as it moves through these stages will be worth all of the challenge you faced getting there.

Closing

We are in this together. This is a collective will to do Michael’s will which is to do the Father’s will which is the culmination of the Trinity will that manifests all goodness, beauty and truth. The very fact that we are working together toward this has signified our place in the annals of universal reality. Our eternal status, although potential, is assured. What we have to do now is to progress as we work to provide vision and clarity and understanding for you, for those who meet you, for those who meet those who meet you, and so on, such that this eternal progression becomes enabled for more and more souls.

This is the challenge I call you toward tonight, my friends, all those who feel a resonance with this mission, project, flow - however you perceive it. It is yours for the taking. Let us do it faithfully as we pursue the truth and reality that will manifest as a result of all of our endeavors.
