Rayson: Yes, most of you will surely not see it—it is not a [[manifestation]] of the [[physical]] range of [[light]] [[frequencies]]. But some of you are [[sensitive]] to see energy manifestations on the inner level, the ‘psychic’ level, if we may use that word. The closest that you could come to this would be your [[imagination]] of it, and many who have seen energy forms, often think that it is simply their imagination. Yet, when they go to "look" to another form, whether a tree, a plant, a person, or some energy field, they can also see that. So, is that their imagination or not? It is for your [[interpretation]], though these energies do exist on planes that you do not see with your eyes. You would see them easily on the [[Morontial]] planes.

Student: Is this energy similar to or different than the energy that was at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Findhorn_Foundation Findhorn] in Scotland, where so many remarkable non-latitude [[plants]] were grown for many years?

Rayson: Yes. Though it was not a shaft of light there, it was a field, it was an environment, using this [[energy]].

(Student: Same with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedona,_Arizona Sedona]?) Sedona and other places upon the planet are [[ancient]], natural manifestations of these energy forms.

Student: Rayson, you asked that I ask you again at a later time about the ‘[[breath]]’ in conjunction with the [[merkaba]], and I’d like to ask more about that at this time. (Rayson: And your question is?) How is the ‘breath’ related to the merkaba?

Rayson: Have you ever been to a smithy? A [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forge blacksmith shop]? There you will find [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bellows bellows]. The bellows mechanism was used to draw in a huge amount of air into the bellows mechanism and [[force]] it through a small orifice into the forge, providing tremendous amounts of oxygen to the hot coals and charcoal in the forge. But in this instance, I wish you to [[imagine]] a [[centrifugal]] air pump, as is typical of many small farming communities and small blacksmith shops, where one would crank the handle and it is geared in such a fashion that one [[revolution]] will approximate roughly, one hundred revolutions of the air pump, so that you have a tremendous, centrifugal [[process]] of developing/generating huge amounts of air in a small device.

This is very similar to what you are doing in your [[body]] mechanism as you inhale [[breath]] on a forced basis, you are force-feeding the fires of your [[metabolism]] and also at the molecular level, these energies infuse your mind/brain mechanism. It is at the mind/brain surface….it’s not a surface, it’s not a membrane, it’s…...I do not find the [[language]] to [[explain]] the contact place of mind and brain. But it is at that point at the [[molecular]] level, the [[quantum]] level that the [[mind]] is energized to a higher level. And as you do so, your own [[merkaba]], auric field, is enhanced around you. This quantum surface allows you to bridge the gap between your [[material]] existence and other dimensions and states of [[consciousness]] that exist in [[the universe]]. It is at this heightened level of energy activity that the merkaba operates. And so your forced breathing can assist in this process and can enhance the merkaba process, the merkaba field. Is that a sufficient answer? (Yes, I think so, thank you.) You’re welcome. I wish to expand on that just a little bit. I stated that it alludes to the [[quantum]] level of [[consciousness]], and this is a field that will become more and more important to your technical, [[scientific]] fields in the [[future]] and too, when they make the connection with clinical [[psychologists]] as well.

Student: When you mentioned the ‘[[aura]]’ a moment ago, people who say that they can observe auras, often speak of [[colors]] like green, blue, or yellow…is there a significance to the different colors?

Student: When you mentioned the ‘[[aura]]’ a moment ago, people who say that they can observe auras, often speak of [[colors]] like green, blue, or yellow…is there a significance to the different colors?

Rayson: Yes, it has to do with heightened psychic [[consciousness]]—the higher the [[frequency]] of the color, the brighter they are, going from [[dark]] colors to ruddy-red, through the yellows through the greens and the blues, violets and white; these are all more and more elevated colors. And you will find that if you were to see those [[individuals]] who are evolved spiritually, and who live in greater universe consciousness, live or create an aura around them of the higher [[frequencies]]. These colors are also associated with relevant body function issues. You are aware of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflexology reflexology] of the regions of the feet. Chinese physicians also associate this with regions of the ear and other parts of the body which are ‘mirrored replicas’ of the energetic fields of the body, and so the [[aura]] has its own replication of these body function fields. And the colors therein are affected by the [[health]] of the individual, in [[mind]] and [[body]] and [[spirit]]. Is that sufficient? (Yes, that’s very interesting. Thank you.) You’re welcome.

Student: So the [[colors]] can be related to the [[emotional]] state and [[thought]] content at any given time within an individual?

Student: So the [[colors]] can be related to the [[emotional]] state and [[thought]] content at any given time within an individual?

Rayson: Yes, there is. This is another system within the being’s [[mechanism]] and those centers also have their [[colors]], and they can be bright and they can be dark, or they can be black. They are also…let me just, to keep it [[simple]]…they are noticeable, observable, within the [[aura]], but they are principally their own system. They operate on the same [[energy]] [[process]], but they are separate ‘[[mechanisms]]’…I do not like to use the word ‘mechanism’ for they are not mechanistic or material, but they use the same energy platform, but [[express]] it in two different dimensions, so to speak. One is on the outside and one is on the inside. And what you see in one, you will see in the other.

Student: What are some examples of the best way for us to use this [[merkaba]] energy for the good of those around us, and for the world? Can we, as a group, project such energy to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afghanistan Afghanistan], for [[refugees]] in need, as an example?

Rayson: Yes you can…I will stop that answer at that point…and just say, yes, you can. However, I would suggest to you to condition the [[energy]] for yourself first. (‘You’ meaning the group.) Individuals, [[western]] culture, often see the use of Universe Energy as a [[selfish]], self-centered activity. However, we are more concerned with you being in [[tune]] with this energy than you tuning the energy to others at this time because the [[quality]] of the sending energy is qualified. Excuse the double meaning of the word ‘quality,’ but the quality of the energy that you send towards others is qualified by, or conditioned by, your own capacity to send it. If you are an ill person and have pneumonia, you would not do well running the [[marathon]], would you? You would be lucky to go to the mailbox and get your mail. So we suggest that you work on your own [[healing]]. It is not necessarily an activity of ‘doing’ but of remaining in [[consciousness]]. It is being conscious of your positive thoughts and your negative thoughts, the destructive thoughts and those, which are helpful.

===='''''[[Mindfulness]]'''''====

===='''''[[Mindfulness]]'''''====

Rayson: You’ll always want to provide a [[service]] to others with those [[skills]] that you have already mastered. But, you have more and more skills to master, so do not fret too much about using them in advance. Wait until you have [[achieved]] a level of mastery over those skills of living, which you can then use for service to others in your conscious [[direction]] of [[energy]]. Do you recall the [[monk]] who worked in the kitchen during medieval times? Was that [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brother_Lawrence Brother Andrew]? Who was that? He always did his work in the kitchen, [[mundane]], [[trivial]], seemingly monotonous work, drudgery of preparing [[foods]] and serving and cleaning up and preparing again. Yet this wonderful monk remained in [[God consciousness]] all through the day, [[singing]] praises and coming to [[understand]] [[God]] and His miraculous ways, much more intimately than his brothers who were often serving in front of the [[altar]]. And this is as you could do also, wherever you are, is to remain in consciousness with the beneficence of God. So that your life becomes an [[expression]] of that beneficence, part of that spirit, being part of that [[flow]]. It is diminishing the dark [[thoughts]] of your mind and embellishing the positive ones. It is doing ‘[[good]],’ with good words and good thoughts and good works. This is the first place to begin, with yourself. (Thank you) You’re welcome.

Student: You mentioned that the [[merkaba]] could be used for wrong [[intentions]], and I would like to know if there is anything now that the merkaba has been established here that we, as its founders or co-founders need to do to [[protect]] it from these forces?

I am going to speak in general terms and not in direct, constructive terms. (Student: Could I [[interject]] something for just a second? I saw this [[merkaba]] that we established today as the [[cornerstone]] of a church, and that as it grows, and this is replicated over and over in [[groups]], that we from this place, establish. That will be the [[church]], it will be the merkabas created by many, many people in conjunction with each other…and co-creatively with [[Michael]] and [[Nebadonia]]…and our unseen brothers.

Rayson: For now, let us imagine a [[church]]. Let’s in fact imagine a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathedral cathedral]. If you’ve ever been to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chartres_Cathedral Chartres Cathedral] in France, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notre_Dame_Cathedral Notre Dame], or some of the other great cathedrals, they are massively impressive, are they not? For one, they are a [[material]] [[manifestation]] of the muscles and sinew and [[energy]] and sweat on the brows of many hundreds, if not thousands, of workers. You walk inside the massive doors and you are impressed with the grand spaciousness of it all. And you feel as though you have walked into a hallowed, [[sacred space]]. And so you have entered into a mind-set of [[worship]], and that is why these cathedrals were built this way, it was to energize the worshipful, humble [[nature]] of each [[individual]]. It sets a tone; it is an environment. And so, when you build your churches, whether they are within this residence or a great church building or cathedral, the most important [[process]], most important element is the mind-set of the [[individual]], as this being a sacred, hallowed space, reflective of the hallowed, sacred space that is ‘in you’ as an [[individual]].

An element that is needed is an ‘[[Priest|officiant]]’, one who directs the orchestration of the [[Ritual|services]] that follow. And the [[acceptance]] of those who come there that this individual will lead you into [[worshipful]], minded, hallowed [[presence]]. Then there are the services. The order of service, and if you [[analyze]] these elements, you will see in the very best churches lead you in a progression, an elevation of spirit, so that you have a feeling of [[spontaneous]] joy and [[ecstatic]] [[gratitude]]. In the worst cases, none of this is present. In that place in between, you may go to churches and find one part superlative, that leads you to wonderful [[joy]] and gratitude, and the next part of the service will take you to places where you are [[anxious]] and fearful.

The elements of both are known to [[psychologists]], group dynamics experts, group [[process]] experts, and by church officials. It would be helpful to your committee to visit churches: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Catholicism Catholic churches], [[Episcopal Church in the United States of America|Episcopal churches]], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methodism Methodist churches], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lutheranism Lutheran churches], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nondenominational_Christianity Non-denominational churches]. Find out what makes them tick, what works, what elevates people, what brings oneness of [[spirit]], and then, do not be afraid to incorporate them into your new church service. One can do all of those things in that [[context]], and achieve the individual [[union]] and point of contact with their [[Thought Adjuster]], for really truly, deep, worshipful contact. The advice is to select the best processes and incorporate them, and do not be afraid to [[practice]] them, to use them, over and over again until you get good at that.

A congregation is a [[community]], they are a working [[entity]], and that is why this [[merkaba]] construct creates a community of oneness. You now are bonded; you now have come here and shared this [[exercise]], this energy, you are in oneness of [[spirit]]. And so you are also seeking that in your [[Urantia groups]], if I understand you right. You are seeking oneness and harmony and [[flow]] of your service. A church service for regular [[worship]] is different from that of a [[funeral]], that of a [[wedding]], that of a [[baptism]]. Yet they all start with that [[community]] of oneness. You are habitual animals in many ways, so it requires the habituation of returning often to that site and doing these [[rituals]] over and over again, with the ‘[[intent]]’ of being ever ‘mindful’ of what you are doing, not forgetting why you are there. This is running two circles simultaneously, that is difficult, how to maintain [[spontaneity]] of [[worship]] and [[joy]] and [[gratitude]], [[ecstasy]]—and yet do it in a venue that is habitual. How do you [[achieve]] that? Those are questions your group will need to answer. This is not an easy [[topic]] for you to accept or discuss, I know. To move ahead, there are different [[thoughts]] by different people of what should be done. That is why this group here has as good a [[chance]] of developing a functioning, worshipful, spontaneous, joyful group [[worship]] service as easily as any others could do, and perhaps more easily. There is much work to do as you see. You are beginning to get to that place where you rub two hands together and feel the heat that is occurring. You are beginning to reach out with one hand and shake the hand of another person and [[engage]] them in new [[ideas]]. You are beginning to apply these [[principles]] of Universe [[Energy]] to very specific issues. And they will all come about in success. We are very pleased that you are [[thinking]] about these things, that you are asking questions about them, and that you are striving for the best results. We suggest that you set your hurdle low, rather than in having to have the ‘perfect service’ immediately, to which you will always be [[disappointed]]. Begin practicing one part very well, and building from there. Begin with your [[intention]] of the group. Why are we doing this? What are the [[purposes]] involved? What outcomes do we wish? From there, your interests will become common, and your individual positions should [[dissolve]].
