Opening
Opening prayer: Divine parents whose children we all are, we seek your counsel from afar. We come to you with open hearts and open minds to receive who you would send to us to guide us in the ways of spirit. May we approach you through these avenues, and may you approach us and reach us through these ways. May we be receptive to your words. May our hearts find the truth in your statements, and may you see deeply into our hearts as we rejoice to hear your words. Thank you for this exchange in advance. We know that you are aware of the sentiments of our heart and would guide us and we need guided. And we welcome this even now. We await your words.
Machiventa: I am Machiventa and I rejoice at the opportunity to address you once again in my classroom. You create this space for me to be here for you in your hearts. And yet I call this my classroom, as it has been my mandate for a great period of time on our world to implement these teachings and to see to the changes we now witness as they unfold. My classroom has taken many forms at many different times, and now, even this hour, it takes this form, and I am happy to fill this void with spirit. I am happy to connect with you through spirit channels and through land lines as we gather together in this classroom to support each other, and to formulate our posture as we look to our future manifestations of spirit. That is all my classroom is: a sharing experience, a learning experience, a personal experience for each of us who come away with enhanced perspectives, a deeper appreciation of spirit influence, and a strengthened desire to be of service.
Lesson
I have been about fulfilling this mandate for some time, and have worked with a number of individuals on our world. It is a great privilege and pleasure for me now to be working with such a spiritually motivated set of individuals such as yourselves. You would not be here hearing my words if you did not have a longing desire to find spirit, contact spirit, and indeed manifest and become spirit. Each of you are the out-workings of this classroom. You are the results as you walk among your brethren and spread the attitudes and perspectives you gain in the exchanges we share.
It is not necessary, nor required in any fashion, that you make known to your brothers and sisters where this spiritual perspective has come from in your lives. Rather, it is more important that each one of you be a living, breathing example of what you have come to grasp of this spiritual reality. You must make bold in your everyday exchanges, and speak of truths you have come to understand with positive assurance of their very reality and existence. Many who dwell with you on this world have yet to cross the bridge into experiencing the spiritual realm. And each of you gaining this experience in your endeavors such as this must act as spirit guides, much as you now look to me and the other teachers to perform this function.
As you become familiar with the ways of spirit, you must communicate your experiences and your knowledge of the spirit dimension plainly and even boldly to those who are seeking this arena without necessarily even the awareness, but they are seeking. It is you who will guide them. It is you who will demonstrate to them the nature of one who has come to understand workings of spirit. It is you who will be in place to speak the words necessary to comfort those who are seeking, to instruct those who are desiring direction, to calm the fears of those who are fearfully uncertain of this new direction. It is you who are the foot soldiers who will be in place to manifest these opportunities of service, not myself, not any of the other teachers.
All of us are your cheerleaders, those behind the scenes who offer you your prompts and assurances of your correctness of attitude. But in the final analysis, you are the final link in the chain of this grand experiment that we are both earnestly engaged in. Without the final link of the chain, without you to manifest these qualities, this experiment ceases. It goes no further. All of Michael’s plans culminate in volunteers such as yourselves who will interact with us, and who will manifest a new reality to your world, a reality which contains spirit as a much more dominant aspect of its being, a much more prevalent force. And the time is upon us when we must make bold to be about this mission.
It is comforting and soothing to be among like-minded individuals who share your same desires and beliefs and perspectives, and soothing to each other to exchange similar viewpoints. But it is stimulating, challenging and indeed a privilege to interact with those of Michael’s children who have yet to be exposed to the level of spirit you now enjoy.
This is our task, certainly has been my task for what you would think of as eons of time, and yet I am excited that we are poised on the brink of a great shift in the spiritual nature of this world, for which I have been longing and working all this time. And I find myself involved with individuals such as yourselves in this time and space, who come willing to this project, who come exhibiting incredible levels of faith, the key component necessary for the success of this endeavor. Each one of you now enjoying this spiritual liaison comes away with an increased sense of faith as a result of having been rewarded for your extension of faith to be here now.
This reward that you have earned through the extension of your faith builds your security around this new arena and provides you with the stability required for you to speak of this new dimension, not as something different or far away or a long time from now. But rather to create this reality that we share even now on your world as a matter of course, as a normal parameter of function. This step must be made by all of us who have the certainty of spirit. This reality must be ushered in by those of us who have been fortunate enough to encounter spirit, even at this stage of your development. It is true that this is a great privilege to be accessed by those in awareness of its reality.
So, at this time I would dish each of you onto your plates a heaping helping of this spirit reality. I would encourage each of you to feast heartily on this nurturing spirit truth. And having enjoyed the sustenance provided, even in this hour, I would ask of you, my volunteers, my companions in this project that you then be emboldened in your everyday lives not to wait upon spirit, but to bring spirit into your equations, not to sit back and seek signs from afar, but to create the avenues wherein spirit may reside. It is no longer considered rude or inappropriate for you to discuss matters of spirit with your brethren.
Rather, it is your duty, your obligation to make known to others that which you know of spirit, to share with others the benefit of your experience, even your experience of this hour. It is a kindness, it is a joy, it is a privilege. It is an honor, and this honor is bestowed upon you, not because we or I chose you, but because you have chosen us. Not because of some cosmic alignment of the stars, but because of your free will choice. That is what brings you here now. That, coupled with the mandate that we all desire to foster, provide you with an unlimited wealth of resources to be hailed at your command because of your awareness and your willingness to extend yourselves in faith.
And while it is true that you alone, as an individual, are limited in your capacity, you in liaison with Michael, the Creator of all that you know, are boundless, are limitless in your capacity. Please understand the magnitude of this union. No longer is it acceptable to speaks of the ‘what ifs’ in spirit reality. We must bring these realities into our everyday lives and our everyday experiences to the extent that they become commonplace, not the extraordinary experience, but the ordinary experience. This is the unfolding of the mandate for this world that we both work on unfolding. This is the directive that we follow. This is the privilege that we have. And no greater joy can be had than in manifesting the mandate of Michael, our Creator.
Therefore, I need not ask, because I know that all of you who hear these words have aligned yourselves to be soldiers in this new struggle with materialism in this great experiment that we create as we move through it. It is not predestined and written every step of the way, rather it is you, it is I, it is us that create this new reality as we manifest it. Therefore, I am overjoyed that we are together in this mission at this time. It is wonderful to behold the brightness with which your spiritual luminosity shines. Your world, our world, so far away from the center of creation has been found and has great resources being funneled to help us bring about this correcting time in this age in this time.
That is my address to you, my companions. I would accept any questions or comments you might have.
Dialogue
Student: There are many times in my daily life that I do approach other people and talk to them, or try to talk to them about the Teaching Mission, and about Michael, and about the wonderfulness of God, and how awesome it is to be in service to Him. Yet many people that I approach, that I know, tend to have a closed mind attitude toward it because they do not have physical proof. I try to help them understand that it is not the physical proof that you will receive. It is spiritual. Is there any advice that you could offer me regarding how we could better approach, better talk to these people, so that they may understand as we do?
Machiventa: There is a phrase that I approve of when I have heard used among members of this corps, and that phrase is that “we are to preach the gospel at all times, and only use words when necessary”. This phrase indicates that you maintain a spiritual posture without the necessity for the description of any magnitude whatsoever. It is in being the spiritual manifestation that you attract the most curiosity wherein you may impart the wisdom you have come to know. We all have encountered those who do not desire the message that we are delivering, and in such a case the message falls on deaf ears because the individual did not come desiring the message.
And likewise, we have all encountered the opportunity wherein a seeker earnestly desires the information that you have to share, and a connection is made, and the information is imparted, and you know in your heart, even at that time, that you had great success in sharing with this individual. So, as a matter of course in your realm, we must always remember that to appear to pontificate or bestow knowledge on another individual when they have not sought this information, and are not in a position to accept it, becomes fruitless. We must choose our occasions wisely, and we attract the greatest number of individuals who are ready to assimilate this information when we speak the least.
I understand this concept in your world is difficult for you because so much of your communication is so very verbal. But also you are beginning to understand that there is a spiritual connection which is unspoken. There is the connection between your divine fragment and another’s divine fragment which exchanges vast amounts of information with no words whatsoever. Therefore, you must temper your enthusiasm to be guided by your awareness of another individual’s willingness to receive. We have all encountered the excellent teacher who teaches more by asking questions than by delivering answers, as did the Master himself.
When you are humble, and when you are an example of spiritual peace and strength and love, others are drawn to you as moths to the flame. They cannot even explain why they are drawn to you, but their soul yearns to know what you know, and to in fact be what you are. This is not done through a verbal exchange and requires great patience on your part not to blast these other individuals with more information and more spirit content than they are ready to handle. Therefore, the wisest teachers await the students to come to them, and in this manner become greatly sought after. Those who stand on a street corner expounding the truths as they know them are forsaken by the masses. Therefore must we be very wise in our delivery that it is made to those who the Father brings to us through this internal spirit contact.
There is no amount of argument that can be made that is valid in the spiritual arena. You will never win that argument because there is no argument. To those who know spirit, there is no argument. To those who do not know spirit, there is no convincing. It is a personal experience which individuals must come to personally from within, and not from conditions exterior to themselves.
And therefore, we must be wise and patient and kind, and we must be concerned supremely with ourselves, that we are spiritual examples, that we manifest that which we know. We do not just know it in our minds or in our theory, but we are a manifestation of this spiritual reality. And from this posture all things are possible, and we will have ample opportunity to share with those who are willing to accept these spiritual truths. We must always be cautioned against our human tendency to make judgment as to what another, in their spiritual search, need or require. It is not for us, as mortal individuals, to determine.
Rather, it is for the indwelling Adjuster, resident within the individual, to determine what is needed to foster the spiritual growth of that individual. Allow this to take place, both between them and their Adjuster, and between you and your Adjuster. Your two Thought Adjusters may meet and commingle and decide which avenue of expression to take, and therein you may act. But for us to make decisions as to another’s spiritual approach in the mortal realm is a faulty tack to take. We must await the yearning individual’s desire to surface, and then the time and conditions are right, and spiritual growth occurs. Are these helpful guidelines?
Student: Yes, they are. I appreciate the information. I have learned much. And in my closing, I would like to thank you for being here tonight, as well as giving me the opportunity to experience what I have with my Thought Adjuster, and with me being able to break the barriers that I had in receiving. I thank for the gift of being able to do that now.
Machiventa: I accept your appreciation for my contact with you at this hour, but redirect your appreciation of your accomplishments to be one more focused in self awareness and gratitude as it was you who have made your life decisions and choices to be at this place that you are right now, hearing these words, acting in your heart accordingly, and the fruits therein produced are yours to enjoy. So I encourage each of you who have now feasted on the words of spirit to enjoy the fruits of your spirits, to enjoy the rewards of your efforts, to savor the sweetness that is spirit in your life. Realize you are responsible for bringing you here and now, and appreciate what you have done in your lives to get you to this point, to bring you in liaison with spirit to this degree.
I recognize the magnitude of what you all have accomplished in one short mortal experience so far away from the First Source and Center. And you may not necessarily appreciate this magnitude until you have had the benefit of increased perspective of morontia experience, but I assure you it is magnificent. I feast on the accomplishments of all of you who come to this table, and who drink this cup even now. I am in awe that you have reached this level of accomplishment, and it is with such magnificent individuals as yourselves that I am proud and honored to move this mandate forward, to make real what has been potential for so very long, and to realize that this is the time when we will express in glory the potentials that we are coming to know through our experience together.
Closing
I will release this T/R, as fatigue sets in. I am thrilled once again to be with you, and offer you my further commitment as we sojourn down this path together. Thank you and keep up the good work. This is Machiventa.
