WILL: (Through JoiLin) Greetings to everyone and welcome newcomer. This is Will, your teacher who loves you. Tonight I would like to address the change in the concept of the teaching mission.

There will continue to be an upsurgeance of change throughout your world. You, if willing, will play a more active role. And now I would like to turn this meeting over to Machiventa Melchizedek.

WILL: (Through JoiLin) Greetings to everyone and welcome newcomer. This is Will, your [[teacher]] who [[loves]] you. Tonight I would like to address the [[change]] in the [[concept]] of the [[teaching mission]]. We have come a long way. You have all been true in your lessons. We acknowledge and [[appreciate]] the work that you have done and continue to do. There will continue to be an upsurgeance of [[change]] throughout [[your world]]. You, if willing, will [[play]] a more [[active]] role. And now I would like to turn this meeting over to [[Machiventa]] [[Melchizedek]].

===Lesson===

Machiventa Melchizedek: Greetings, my children. It is I, Machiventa. I wish to greet you with love and appreciation and to extend the thanks of our/your Creator Son, Michael. He wishes to express his deepest appreciation to all. Each individual has been true to the purpose of the mission. It is now time to upstep our activity. We would ask, as you go about your day, that you interact in a more active manner. This does not mean that you must stand on a soapbox. It simply means that you will not fail to see the opportunities that abound. Many of these opportunities we understand you miss. Become aware of this. You are in the driver's seat. You are in control. This new understanding of this goal is to incorporate a widening of the threshold. We understood by your camaraderie and conversation that you now understand the new concept. We believe you ideas were valid [regarding how new people are brought to the meetings - editor]. Those who wish to extend themselves using the teachings of the school as a basis will accomplish much. They will be able to reach the hearts of many. This is our purpose. And now, I leave you, my children, with love and my blessings. And now return this meeting over to Will and Nadine.

Machiventa Melchizedek: Greetings, my children. It is I, [[Machiventa]]. I wish to greet you with [[love]] and [[appreciation]] and to extend the thanks of our/your [[Creator Son]], [[Michael]]. He wishes to [[express]] his deepest appreciation to all. Each [[individual]] has been true to the [[purpose]] of [[the mission]]. It is now time to upstep our [[activity]]. We would ask, as you go about your day, that you [[interact]] in a more [[active]] [[manner]]. This does not mean that you must stand on a soapbox. It simply means that you will not fail to see the [[opportunities]] that abound. Many of these opportunities we [[understand]] you miss. Become [[aware]] of this. You are in the driver's seat. You are in [[control]]. This new [[understanding]] of this goal is to incorporate a widening of the [[threshold]].

Those who wish to extend themselves using the teachings of the [[school]] as a basis will accomplish much. They will be able to reach the [[hearts]] of many. This is our [[purpose]]. And now, I leave you, my children, with [[love]] and my [[blessings]]. And now return this meeting over to Will and Nadine.

WILL: (Through Nadine) The love of the Father upholds us. In His arms are you ever secure. I have spoken these words to you before whereby you recognize me as your teacher, Will, who loves you. In this way He has made Himself known to you and to others who strive to do His will. He is revealed to you within your hearts. You may first know of His will and are then pulled along by a feeling of longing to serve. It is the human longing felt within the soul that signifies to Him your readiness to know more of Him. He is then able, through divine power, to acknowledge your request to know of Him. At this time your true awareness of spiritual matters has begun. From this point forward there can really never be a return to a state of ignorance of the things that He has revealed to you. As you progress ever upward on your individual path to greater and greater spiritual awareness, He is ever by your side, always ready with reassurances of His existence and His love for you and for all creation. Without Him there would be nothing.

I have spoken these [[words]] to you before whereby you [[recognize]] me as your teacher, Will, who loves you. In this way He has made Himself known to you and to others who strive to [[do His will]]. He is [[revealed]] to you within your [[hearts]].

It is the [[human]] longing felt within the [[soul]] that [[signifies]] to Him your readiness to know more of Him.

Without Him there would be nothing.

This knowledge presented to you changes forever your perceptions of what your life's purpose is about. It is through your longing for knowledge of things beyond the obvious that keeps you on a continuum throughout your life, to continue to strive to accept His will in your life and gain the understanding of the greater good and purpose He has set forth.

It is through your longing for [[knowledge]] of things beyond the obvious that keeps you on a [[continuum]] throughout your life, to continue to strive to [[accept]] His will in your [[life]] and gain the understanding of the greater [[good]] and [[purpose]] He has set forth.

You may sense that there are greater truths to be known and, if you seek in spiritual matters to know His will, it will be revealed to you. This is His great promise. To ever support you as you strive through the undertaking of your daily duties to pass through this life that you live on Urantia. It is a life the Father understands well through the experiences of His son, Michael, who came to live among you that he might have greater understanding of the mortal creatures of the realm. There is no substitute for this direct experience. Therefore believe that He does know of the trials and tribulations that you all must face as you struggle and survive and overcome obstacles and situations that are presented to you every day.

You may sense that there are greater [[truths]] to be known and, if you seek in [[spiritual]] matters to know His will, it will be [[revealed]] to you. This is His great [[promise]]. To ever [[support]] you as you strive through the undertaking of your daily [[duties]] to pass through this life that you live on [[Urantia]]. It is a life [[the Father]] [[understands]] well through the [[experiences]] of His son, [[Michael]], who came to live among you that he might have greater [[understanding]] of the [[mortal]] creatures of the realm. There is no [[substitute]] for this direct [[experience]]. Therefore [[believe]] that He does know of the [[trials]] and [[tribulations]] that you all must [[face]] as you [[struggle]] and [[survive]] and overcome [[obstacles]] and situations that are presented to you every day.

The Father sees all, knows all, understands all. Your every sorrow. Your every longing. As it has been said, He knows the number of hairs on each individual's head. He cares for you beyond what you can possibly understand. The love between mortals is but a faint echo of His love. Therefore, take joy in this message. Let your soul be reassured and filled with the Father's love which shall bring you great joy. There is a peace that passes all understanding. This peace can be yours. It is a gift already given, there for you to take. Accept it. Open yourselves up to His love and your very life will be made the brighter, the more joyous, to an extent you may have never dreamed existed.

Nadine senses a restlessness among the group and has wondered if there are those present who would like to ask questions tonight.

===Dialogue===

VINCENT: Will, who addressed us last week?

VINCENT: Will, who addressed us [http://www.nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=1993-09-03-Tallahassee,_FL,_Early_Transcripts_%26_Contact_Development#Session_1 last week]?

WILL: This was a Son of the order of Voronandek who had been an observer of our group many times.

WILL: This was a Son of the order of [[Vorondadek]] who had been an [[observer]] of our [[group]] many times.

JOILIN: Will, this is JoiLin. I had a Melchizedek speak to me whose name I was not quite sure of. I had two different spellings. Can you give me clarification?

JOILIN: Will, this is JoiLin. I had a [[Melchizedek]] speak to me whose name I was not quite sure of. I had two [[different]] spellings. Can you give me [[clarification]]?

WILL: The Melchizedek of which you speak is known by the name of Manovet. [Nadine: I am not sure of that. I am now getting something that sounds a little different, like Manodek, vet? I am not sure I am capable of coming up with a name or hearing a name clearly enough. JoiLin: My spelling was Moranda. Nadine: If I hear something different, I will say.]

WILL: The Melchizedek of which you speak is known by the name of Manovet. [Nadine: I am not sure of that. I am now getting something that [[sounds]] a little different, like Manodek, vet? I am not sure I am capable of coming up with a name or hearing a name clearly enough.  

JUDY: Will, this is Judy. Relative to the school and trying to clarify that in our minds, I realize that we still have free will to do what we want, but could you help us understand if there is something we could do in this group to further the notion of outreach within the context of the school.

JoiLin: My spelling was Moranda.  

WILL: The sharing of the teachings, both from the teaching mission group transcripts and also the lessons contained within the Urantia Book, is encouraged with those individuals whom you feel compelled to share this knowledge with. Again I will say, it is not the end result that you should feel responsible for. The sharing of this message with others is asked of you with the understanding that you will do so using your judgment of the situation and the following of your heart with the feeling you have of being compelled to share it with this person. What happens at that point is merely the exchange of information. The rest occurs on a personal level within that individual which can either lead them closer to your group into the understanding of the teachings or may simply fade from their memories if they are not truly ready to hear such. The concern should not be over whether the sharing of this material is right or wrong. It must be taken on a case by case basis with your trust, that if you were acting in the Father's stead that He will work through this through you and through them in the manner you are familiar with - through the indwelling Thought Adjuster. I would not give further advice on this matter yet would advise you to remember that the reaching out to others is indeed what we would have you be doing. You are our workers in the mission. We cannot bring about such change, only you.

Nadine: If I hear something different, I will say.]

Are there further questions?

JUDY: We are delighted that there is another receiver that has developed. Are there other people in this group that could receive communication if they spent a little more time at it?

JUDY: We are delighted that there is another [[receiver]] that has developed. Are there other people in this group that could receive [[communication]] if they spent a little more time at it?

WILL: I have in the past foretold of a time where each member of this group would indeed be in contact with their personal teacher. This is not to imply that each here would welcome the opportunity to be a transmitter for the group. Therefore I make the distinction so that you may understand that each can, indeed, find within themselves that quiet place wherein guidance comes. The extent to which that individual is aware of this process varies greatly, yet each has guidance available through increased efforts made by that individual to become more aware. They will find the ability lies within. They need only find the source, drill the correct well that will tap them into this source. Perhaps after many a dry hole. Is this answer sufficient to you?

JUDY: Yes.

JUDY: Yes.

WILL: As each [[individual]] searches for spiritual [[truth]], they will find many avenues open to them that they may [[choose]] from. The plate is full. You are each [[free]] to choose the portions that suit you. Not all [[travel]] the same [[path]]. I would refrain from making a blanket [[assumption]] that this [[method]] you refer to would further the [[growth]] of all within this group. It is always best to [[share]] what you have found to be helpful in your [[life]] with these others that you [[care]] about in the [[hopes]] and [[recognition]] that what you have found may be [[spiritually]] uplifting to your [[brothers and sisters]]. We do not seek to stop your searching. As you build your spiritual life you will draw to you many things which you find [[comforting]], [[strengthening]] and [[truth]] [[revealing]]. There is much available. Seek and you shall find. That which pleases you and will please y[[our Father]]. Is this [[satisfactory]]?
