*          Malvantra (Jonathan TR): I am Malvantra. I greet you. I acknowledge your faith and express my joy that is experienced in fellowshipping with you and perceiving your forward steps in both understanding and attainment.

It is the time of year when many on your planet are preparing for the celebration of the birth of Michael on this world. You know and have read that Michael is reborn in each of you through his Spirit of Truth. Let us develop this rebirth by taking a look at your traditional story of the nativity. Let us assume that each character involved is yourself. As Mary you are not only the receiver of this bestowed spirit, but you also nurture, you support, you feed, you comfort, you take care of this bestowed spirit. This you do by steadfastly adhering to truth, honestly accepting the variables of reality, and standing strong when you perceive that the influences upon you may thwart your living the Father's will. Mary, like every mother, will safeguard her child and will hope for great accomplishments in the child's future. Likewise must each of you safeguard the Spirit of Truth, not because the spirit is fragile and weak in itself, but for your own well-being you seek not to endanger your relationship.

I can receive your questions if you have some at this time.

Tom: I recently heard an interview with a notable scientist who was asked what was the most significant event of the past millennium. He answered, the invention of the scientific method. Prior to Galileo and Newton scientific attempts were hazy and superstitious.

I realize I take this gift for granted. Primitive man could only count to three, and we have some in the room here who can count up to twenty! Can we postulate a philosophical model, even a spiritual model, incorporating those same methods of problem solving? Is there a morontia version of that? The solution to spiritual problems centers around love. The triangles begin with love and filter down. Are your teachings the "spiritual method"?

*          Malvantra: The spiritual method has been long stated upon this world and you know it well. It can be summarized as "the gospel of Jesus". The application of this method of seeking to do the Father's will and love and service to your fellows and to treat all as you would perceive in your best how the Father would treat His other children; these methods of spirit will solve many problems.

To work with your comment about the past millennium initiating the rise in formalized scientific thinking, the next millennium will witness a greater need for and certainly, in response, an enactment of this spiritual method, for, as your technological concerns of the change of date in your computers could effect many functions around the world, you are realizing with a greater poignancy your global interconnectedness. This global interconnectedness is the spiritual brotherhood on this world, and it can no longer be ignored. The factionalizations, the sectarianism, all these elements will have to dissipate.

From the angels' role we can see the bigger picture and know that the life of this bestowed spirit is going to have its ups and downs.

*          Malvantra: Excellent observation that not only are you capable of the grand view as were the angels, but each is capable of the dim view, if I may put it that way, of the stable creatures who merely continued their daily activities without much fuss over the presence of the family of Joseph and Mary in their stall. They were part of the event. They have even been encased in the legend of the time, the poetic story of Michael's bestowal, and have become significant in that picture. Likewise for yourselves there are aspects of your being that do fall in this category. I might also refer to it as the "Alpheus twin" syndrome.

The presence in yourself of an entire spectrum, from the grand view to the limited, mortal perspective, this is acceptable to the Father and should in no way cause you to be condemning of yourself for the presence of those elements of the natural human being that aren't the exalted being you desire ideally of yourself that will and can only occur over the course of eons.

I am delighted to witness your discussion this morning on faith, problem solving, healing, and guidance. When the apostles first received the outpouring of the Spirit of Truth, they had a new confidence about them. They felt empowered to teach like they never had before because they felt that now they didn't teach for Jesus, they taught with him. This confidence is not a confidence of a bolstered pride, rather it is a confidence of the assurance of the ability to commune with, to confide in, the master to effect the ministry that he, in his creator view, can perceive is best to bestow. I encourage you all to use this confidence often. When uncertainty comes your way do not mask the insecurity with a confidence of self only, but approach this uncertainty with a communal sense of confidence, a confiding communion with the master, and you will discover greater faith, greater strength, to pursue the goodness that lies within the complication, the problem, that exists before you.

I would draw our engagement to a close if it is agreeable with you today and express great love for each one of you and all who receive these words. Peace be with you all.
