Changes

I think we will pause in our lessons at this time to see if there are concerns relating to this or observations that you would share with me or Tarkas or any of the other teachers.

Group: Tarkas, this is ____. I heard something that bothered me the other day. I heard that there might be rebel spirits that haven't been adjudicated like we had been led to believe and I'm just wondering what your thoughts are on that. if it's accurate information or what you can tell me on that.

Tarkas: The Melchizedeks are not here in human form, and have not been in that form, however their spiritual presence is quite strong. There is some misunderstanding about what presence means. Sometimes those of material means think that it is a physical presence, and yet our presence can be much different. It can be, in fact, much more encompassing. For example, the presence of Christ Michael can be all-pervasive and encompassing, what might be referred to as a Christ consciousness, for indeed, He is capable of manifesting his presence in many places at the same time. And so ‟presence” can have a somewhat broader meaning than just in a material sense.

In closing, may I make a few comments about the channeling technique, for there have been discussions on this, and we want you to understand that, indeed, the Teaching Mission is much larger, much more encompassing than simply this tool of communicating with you. Some of the lack of progress in your ability to develop this contact has led to this somewhat deliberate pace of coming to lessons as in our imaginary college classroom and simply listening to these lessons presented in this deliberate manner. And yet the presentation of information is so limited in this regard. At the same time, many of you have begun to almost make communications have stopped for fear that you are merely talking to yourselves. In a sense, this is partially correct. I ask you to follow through. Sit with pen in hand in the quietness of your room. You are praying and you are worshipping. I ask you again to express your concerns . ... ask your questions and then wait wait for the answer in patience. And when several words come to you, do not accept those words as being your full and complete communications. Even though sometimes just a few words can be beautiful and instructive . .. such as peace . .... balance . .... and love . ... they are somewhat limited.
