Opening
JOSEPHINE: I am Josephine, here with intentions much like your own. I am disposed to carry on a conversation with respect to the teaching missionaries….It is our complete desire to enthrall you with the spirit of God our Father. Be at peace. Realize your full potential and care not for the future repercussions of this weekend’s event.
[Refers to the weekend in Naperville, Illinois where we were in attendance at the so-called Melchizedek materialization event. We are now returning home in the private cabin on an Amtrak train as we record this session.].
…Cry not for your brother who remains in sorrowful paths. Quiet now only your own disposition. Rest assured in God’s love.
E (transmitter): RondEL wishes to speak….
Lesson
RONDEL: I express this evening my concern regarding the weekend’s events. I am concerned with tools which were used through the imagination to create a superficial experience….This damaged the experience for some and we are sorrowful about this event for this reason. However, each of you have handled this situation well. We applaud your faith structure and your ability to hear respond to your own hearts’ call.
We now wish to present to you the lesson for the day regarding the Vorondadek statement. It is in response to experiential lessons in which you are well learned…..Feel free to request any further information from Vorondadek. He is willing to respond with ample consideration to your thoughts and concerns.
E: Vorondadek is here….I don’t know what else to call him….
B: Is his name “Maleventa”?
E: No….
Vorondadek: It is I, here to respond to earlier communication regarding the lesson presented to you in the Foreword to the Urantia Book. I express complete desire to communicate effectively regarding the topic of existential versus experiential living. I am pleased to be here and hope to make further acquaintance again.
It is well-known that much of our experience arises from the mental, calculable portion of our lives. We are broken when we choose only to live by these means. Inasmuch as these experiences are carried into everyday life, they also inhibit further production of spiritual value, so that in order to find spiritual alignment one must create within oneself an experiential form in which to perceive God’s love for each of us.
Experience as we know it requires faith and courage. Also, it has the added benefit of healing one’s nature. This can further be described as living a spiritually-developed lifestyle. We are concentrating this evening on the splendid aspects of choosing this form of learning. It is quite an experience, is it not?
E: He is waiting to know if you find it so….
Dialogue
B: I’m not sure what form of learning you mean. Earlier you said that there is the “mental, calculable” experience which you contrasted with an experiential form of perceiving God’s love. That indeed is splendid, yes.
Vorondadek: James, Jacob’s definitive response matches yours?
J: Not necessarily, I am not certain what you are trying to say. It sounds more like theory than practical information. I don’t know how to use this information. Perhaps I don’t understand.
Vorondadek: Basically, it is known that one’s capability for receiving our Father’s love comes from experience. My question posed is thus: Have you found your journey splendid and joyful in this regard?
J: N,o I do not perceive the Father’s love, I do not feel it. I take it on faith that I have it. I’m told that I have it.
Vorondadek: It is good that you speak of these things tonight. I am willing to assist you in the revelation of spiritual aptitude if you wish to pursue this path.
B: I am willing, Teacher.
J: Yes, I would like to feel the Father’s love.
Vorondadek: It must be understood that receiving this extraordinary gift — that which you already possess of course — requires a certain amount of joyfulness in living spiritually. There are some experiences that may have caused you grief or remorse. For these I feel compassion and I am willing to….
E: Just a second….His voice is very clear and sweet. It is a very moving experience.
Vorondadek: Experience may bring the joy one desires from within. Experience requires courage; it is indeed a challenge. At times your experience will benefit you, while seemingly it is very painful. Remember this my children: Loving natures always bring forward the best in each and every situation presented. These times may not always appear to be so directed. It may appear to your mortal eyes as if there is punishment involved, or maybe some form of recourse which has been inflicted upon you for past wrongs. Release, if you can, any suspicion in this regard.
Trust, my children, in the Father’s love for each of you. He does not wish to inflict burdens on his children. He truly desires that they be free to explore the realms of his creation. This is a definite desire on the part of our Father for his children. Be not mistaken in your painful memories of the past or of the moment. Be not be dismayed by fear of future projections; do not watch for misery; instead, search lovingly, longingly for the spirit within each of you — not only within your own heart, my dearest ones, but also for that spirit which resides in your brothers’. You we are all children of a very great and powerful Father. It is His intention that we exist. It is His best [inaudible] that we continue to search for peace and everlasting hope and happiness.
Cry not for your brother. Instead, embrace yourselves as you would your own child. Cry not in despair, for our Father reaches out to us in great admiration and strength. Blessed be he who has created all existence. Encouragement is yours. Tonight I offer this to each of you.
When we continue to glorify the misery we have experienced, we may become doubtful and fearful and even reject the gifts offered by the Father. It is then that we are closed to experiences that enhance our spiritual growth. Do you see the necessity of releasing fear? It is imperative to cry out to the heavens: Release my fear, Father, so that I may better earn your love. Cry out from the deepest well of your spirit. Embrace all the riches which flow into your life. Release all fear. Cry out to the spirit within and let the spirit know: I am alive! I encompass the universe. The universe encompasses me. I belong!
Experiences teaches us this. Thought cannot communicate what it is I desire to communicate to you this evening. Thought can overload, in fact, your spiritual circuits, disallowing God’s love from entering your heart. Heads can become so heavy with words and logic. Where is the heart to run in such a heavy, cerebral place?
Release thought for a moment here with me. Take a moment to rest. Reciprocate by loving yourself, releasing the fear, allowing God’s love in. Release specifically any concerns or interest you have for the past, present, or the future. Just rest for a moment with me as I speak to you gently of dewdrops in a fine misty morning. Calm thyself; rest from your burdensome ways. Relaxed demeanor is so thoughtful, but yet so provocative. Rest, my darling ones. Embrace the mist. Relish the company of your Father-spirit which dwells within. Quiet, gently and softly, your mind’s eye. Peaceful, loving energy rests within.
Weep if you must. Cry out, if you must. Show the world how you live. Let them know your heart, your heart-song. Let the world show you their heart-song. Release pretensions –attitudes — which keep each of you from one another. Realize your full potential, as the Father sees your fullest absolute potential.
How have you become so limited, so impaired, my children? Experience has taught me well. You may hear this reflected in my word-choices for this evening. I speak from the deepest level of my experience, relayed to you through a cosmic universe which reflects an ordained [requirement] to love each other extensively, to honor ourselves, to rejoice in our differences, yes, to learn from each other, indeed, to love on another.
Cry not for your brother. Embrace him as you shall embrace your own heart. We are created in peace. Rejoice, for it is a holy honor and not to be dispensed with. Existentialism requires thought. When this energy encompasses all we know, we become as lost children. Experience facilitates learning; learning facilitates growth; growth thus becomes opening to the infinite spirit within. Ever-expansive, is it not?
When we create for ourselves situations which produce harmful circumstances in our lives, we may question our motive. Are we truly breaking ground? Is it with remorse that we search so diligently for God’s love? Is it with such force and fortitude that we must find such a gentle and peaceful alternative? No, I must say to each of you, require not of our Father this turmoil! Release in your own hearts the suggestion of servitude through painful experience. It is not a necessity — unless we make it thus. Release your burdens, my children, I implore you.
It is with great ease and satisfaction that I come to you this evening to speak so fervently about my ideas on this topic…. I am here to help you identify your own errors in judgment. I wish only to aid your further completion of understanding the principles embodied in the action of searching for the Father’s love. I am not here to preach, but I find much import in delivering a sincere and effective message, that you may hear my words resounding in your spirit-self. Have I communicated effectively? I must know at this time what your responses are to my words.
[Lengthy responses from participants….]
When I speak to you of “reception” I must explain that this terms requires some consideration. What does it mean exactly to receive? How does one open one’s heart to the Father’s love? Indeed, without a bridge across it is difficult to know how to get there. I now request of you an exercise, a learning experience through the intellect. It will require focus and studious attention to detailed information which I will attend to. It is time for this lesson. I wish to know if you are prepared.
Responses….
Close your mind to all incoming thoughts as much as you can for I know this can be difficult. Respond only as your nature dictates. The Father’s love encapsulates all experience. Do not be afraid of doing it wrong or in a incorrect manner. This exercise will be perfection regardless of its outcome.
THE “RECEPTION” EXERCISE
Step into a room darkened by a misty cloud of vapor. The room is squarish and marked only by individual lights balanced in each of the four corners of the room. The lights respond to you as you move towards an individual light-source, so that if you move to the left in a counter clock-wise direction each light will respond more brilliantly as you come closer.
The first light deflects energy in a pattern which represents to you a symbol of ultimate peace and harmony. Imagine, for a moment, if you will, what this symbol must be for your individual self.
When this symbol is clear in your consciousness, move carefully to the left to the next corner in which you see the next light becoming brighter as you move closer. This light reflects your innermost personality truth.
As this identity becomes clear to you, walk carefully to the third corner, in which you see the loving image of truth. This may be represented by a symbol important to only you.
Move gently, quietly to the fourth corner. This light becomes brighter, intensifying more than all the others. It brings to light the vision of absolute truth, all-loving. It becomes for you as a mirror, reflecting your true desire.
Walk to the center of the room. At the center, find yourself in a circle. Standing within the body of this circle, you observe a convergence of light — the four lights — which pitch forth the images you presented. They converge in a circular ring above your head approximately 4 – 7 feet. The circle carries with it each of the symbols you perceived. Now it begins to rotate slowly as you watch. It is as if flour is sifting gently through a sifter, sprinkling down upon you exquisite truth, simplicity, and love. You are showered with memories of what you know to be absolute truth for yourself, embodied in your true personality. Allow this for a moment while I rest with you.
Quiet yourself. Rest your spirit. Ease along the path which God has chosen for you. It is a gentle, loving path. Rest your worries. Realize God’s potential. Infinite is his wisdom, his love, his capacity. We are but small figurines in a very great ocean of life. Create for yourself a vision of truth and simplistic life-choices. Embrace gentle and loving entities.
E: RondEL is here as a moderator….You may ask questions.
B: Thanks for a very, very beautiful presentation. The exercise is very unique and useful. When you mentioned to cry not for our brother it confused me because I think of compassion as the act of crying with our brother when they feel pain. Can you comment on that especially in the light of the disappointments of the weekend.
Vorondadek: : I feel in my own heart that the [act] of crying out for another’s experience may require you to lose track of your own destined path in this world. It might be noted that to cry with compassion can only further to enslave your brother. What if you were to embrace and encourage him to view the world in a different light instead? What if you were to embrace him and say, “See not your pain my son; instead, see the Father’s light”? Blessed are those that encourage one another to find the Father’s love. This is of utmost importance.
B: Aren’t we to encourage our brothers to feel what they are feeling in the moment, so that if they are feeling pain, doesn’t that pain give them information they need? I always felt that one must go through the lessons of one’s pain without making it something it is not.
Vorondadek: What if one were to take a teaspoon of water and drop it into a very large ocean? This water, which would represent tearful pain resulting from life experience, may get washed away in this huge ocean.
Or, it might be required that tears falling from a teaspoon could be redirected. Instead you may choose to use these tearful experiences to reflect the glimmering light of the Father’s love.
This may be a point mistaken so I continue with further explanation. I require only of my students that they stay open and communicative. I wish to present to you another model.
A man who is entrapped in his fearful, consequential lifestyle embarks on his daily routine with sad expectation of what is to come in his day. When he meets his fellow man he is downtrodden, he is sad, he is hurt. He may be mistaken as a unfortified spirit. This is a mistaken presentation.
[E: This last phrase is emphasized.]
He has chosen a life of burden. Compassion only fuels this for him. He must be lifted from his burdensome ways in order that he can revive his spirit and body. Lead him not into further destitution; instead, embrace your brother. Allow him to see the potential that we of course see in you.
C: Thank you, that was a nice explanation.
Vorondadek: Any further questions?
B: I found the visualization to be gloriously beautiful. Do you suggest frequent use of that exercise, or was this exercise more by way of an example in passing?
Vorondadek: This particular visualization is useful but may not be useful for long. As you progress you will find that you need further explanation and may move towards more concrete examples [from] your personal life-story….
B: Do your encourage us to use symbolism in creating our own visualization exercises, as a way for receiving the Father’s love? I feel that I am being encouraged to use the visualization faculty as a tool in my worship and my prayer. I wonder if you have any comment on that?
Vorondadek: When I spoke earlier of the importance of opening to the Father’s loving nature, I impressed upon you importance of vision — you may recall this. I ask that each of you use whatever means you find effective. I am so pleased to know of your success with the vision I provided this evening. It indeed warms my heart.
B: I want you to know that my heart is also warmed by the sincerity and the fervent nature of your words which impressed me more than the words themselves. To know that a being like yourself feels so deeply about my progress helps me to progress….If I may move back to the early part of the lesson, I still don’t understand the word existential and your way of contrasting it with the term experiential. The term existential is vague so far.
Vorondadek: When I received notification that it was for me to translate for you the message found in the Foreword of the Urantia Book, I was impressed by the confusion which as recently been found on this subject. I am inclined to request of you to search your identifying feelings regarding the meaning of the term existential. I require of each of my students that they are well-read on subjects pertaining to my lessons in order that I may relate most effectively.
When one considers the impact of the God-experience on each of your lives, it must be noted that this experience requires of man little thought or provocation….However, it has been a truth in the experiential discipline of those who have mastered the study of God’s…..[interruption]….For those who participate in religious study, we begin to see a depreciation of existential experience. What I mean to say by this is that entering into the existential domain requires an exploration of experiential form…..
That which is existential encompasses a myriad of experiences which involve the personality level and follows through to supernal levels. Do not confuse the experience of existential enlightenment with intellectual forethought. It is this practice which produces that heaviness in those that try to think their way to God. I am not here to criticize those who pursue this path, only to enlighten those who wish to truly find release from the intellectual burdens which entrap the spirit.
We are all privy to the conditions found in this universal law: Existentialism releases one from the bondage of self, yet it requires the commitment of the individual to experience life at the fullest level of light and love. In order to reach an existential state, the mind must be removed from the process, for thinking can be debilitating….
[The tape stops here. Our teacher spoke for a few more minutes, and concluded with something we were able to record by hand: “I ask of you to read pages in the Urantia Book pertaining to this topic. This may be found in the chapters on living life with change — pages 1213 to 1321.”]
Session 8
5/17/93 Transmission Oklahoma City, OK
Opening
RONDEL: It is I, RondEL, coming forth to speak to you on issues of tarrying around about love and other matters of just concern. We welcome all of you here this evening and always are so pleased to see the beauty of your love shining forth to our Heavenly Father. We indeed are graced by your presence here tonight.
Josephine is here and will attend to each of your individual needs as she sees fit. You may encounter feelings which although unaccustomed are necessary for the pursuit of the Father’s mission.
Instead of reciting to you your errors I will enunciate the freedoms (?) each of you may have found. Then we will proceed into darker realms. So heed now your own calling to truth and wisdom. Glory in the name of the Father for each of you has come so far in learning to receive the golden blessings which the Father grants each of us. You are acquainted, are you not, with the gift of love?
Dialogue
B: Yes, I think the feeling of God’s love, if that’s what you mean, is growing within me , I am acquainted with it.
M: I commented before we began that I had no problem feeling God’s love.
C: I feel that I am beginning to feel it if I haven’t before. In great part thanks to the image given to me by the Vorondadek son [of]the love raining down from a flour mixer.
RONDEL: This was indeed a useful phenomenon for you my son.
M: I have a question. I’m not sure I’m understanding correctly.
When I made the comment about being able to feel the Father’s love, I commented that this is such a lovely place, there are so many beautiful things, this is a concrete example of the Father’s love. But what if I lived in a place such as Bosnia or Somalia? Am I understanding and feeling the Father’s love?
RONDEL: At this time, my dear one, we are not to acquaint ourselves with others’ painful experiences for have we not each received enough of our own in our own lives? It is necessary at this time to focus only on your own heart and your own heart’s wishes. Then, once you have received fully a cup of God’s rich and pure love may you begin to look outward to others.
At the same time, we hear your concerns and validate your longing for others to live in peace. Understand my daughter that roads chosen sometimes have not the desired end. We bring to you peace at this moment. Reflect on this only, for healing can occur in this moment.
Richard. . . ?
R: I’ve been thinking. . . it is very difficult for me to say that I’m acquainted with the gift of love; it’s a trap door, a puzzle. I’m going to have to work on this for awhile, it is a very interesting question. Certainly RondEL is familiar with whomever it is who has taken me into their arms when I was afraid there was no love. I have felt that. But I’m sorry, it’s too big of a question. If you could help define it, give me some clues I’d be happy to hear anything you have to say.
RONDEL: We are blessed by the love that you offer those in your personal life. It is therefore known that you must be receiving. This is all we must say at this time. Linda, although you may be timid at this time, know that if you choose to silently speak your answer, it is received.
[few minutes of silence]
RONDEL continues. . . Reflecting on the information gathered here we begin to perceive where there has been success. So pleased are we to know of your intent to continue to pursue the Father’s love, for it truly is real, it does exist. It has many gifts emboldened thus.
Quiet your mindful awareness and relax into a servitude which will surpass that of previous times. We come to you to reflect your own fears, your own lack of communication with The Great One. We relinquish to you all of our insights for a fragment of time: a capsule of life’s experience is yours. Offering in this way requires that we stagnate while resting momentarily on our laurels, yet catapulted are we in the next moment when we realize our freedom.
For a moment, reflect on your losses. Quiet your mind and allow for the grieving of the ages to well up within and spill forward, for tears enlist the love of the Father. Hold hands with one another in this moment. Allow the passing of ages to cross all boundaries. Feel.
It is imperative to dig deep within our heart’s sorrow, to follow the course of pain which has brought us to where we are today, making life choices which have created turmoil or lack of peace and serenity. Cry my children, let the pain go. . .
Have not one of you shed a tear for your pain? Has there been so much loss yet so much strength? The strength, it holds you, you see; it will not release you. The Father cannot enter iron doors which his children have locked and sealed. It may not be, for his love reflects so violently off such cold, course reactions to an extraordinary gift. You must realize that opening the doors is absolutely necessary without a doubt for you to become healed children of the Father’s love. You are only alone as long as you choose to be alone, do you see? Free yourselves! Open the door! It is of your choosing.
M: You are asking us to reflect on our losses and cry.
JOSEPHINE: You must see that your pain and loss, when circumvented by hope which falls flat in the face of God’s love, is lost; it requires meaning. Life is embodied in the experiencing of feelings and the rejection of fear. Do not cry for others when your own life is so painful. My daughter it is necessary that we shed our tears, Our Father cannot see our hearts and our true desires when they are blackened by the pain of our past which we carry with us.
There is much work to be done in this area for each of us here. I am a spirit yet I am also a wounded soul who is recovering. I have wisdom and reflect this to you. The journey is long and everlasting Paradise attainment is here, yet I have struggled.
I perceive in each of you a distant reminder of what once was possible, what was possible in light of the potentiality of God’s love. There once was an innocent child born unto this world free to explore, and the bonds of love had not yet been torn apart.
R: RondEL, may I tell you that I appreciate what you’re trying to say. That there certainly is within myself and all human creation–certainly there are tears and pain, but it is difficult to access that deep area of ourselves when it is the effort of the artist, the poet: they try so very hard to access that deep place within each of us and you have not given us a vehicle that offers a means to get there. I suggest if nothing else it might take us a very long time to find that which you seek.
JOSEPHINE: It is I, Josephine of the night sky. I bring to you blessings of healing my sons and daughters. It was requested of you an extraordinary task to be sure. We are not inclined to predispose any of you to a certain condition. We only wish to prove a pointed statement of receiving. We belong to a galaxy of many hurts and wrongs. There have been many souls lost through entrapment and fear. We recoil at the thought of losing any of you to such a base experience and wish to disarm you from your own protections which embrace a coldness we cannot touch or explain.
M: Josephine I’m having trouble accepting the idea that we should feel and reexperience our pain and cry. I seem to feel better and function better when I acknowledge the sad things that have happened, but look most at the wonderful things around. I’m happier and able to give love when I do that.
JOSEPHINE: My daughter, seeming as it is that overcoming one’s emotional state brings happiness, this cannot be true, for one must experience the full realms of emotion that they receive in the full realm of love. I understand your plight in this matter for if one were to throw oneself fully and completely into sorrow or loss of desires then it may be understood we could never recover truly. Yet RondEL spoke to each of you only of reclaiming for a fragment of time the depth of pain.
Only for a capsule of time would we wish this upon any of our children. We only wish to emphasize the lack of love which is being received. We are aware of growth and can testify to the Father of each of your intentions to grow and respond according to His wishes for you. Yet our point is thus: how can he perceive your desires when your sorrows are so matted in confusion and distrust?
C: Josephine, it seems from what I understand, if we could cry we could release some of that. Is this correct? And I would like to say that I find that an impossible task to accomplish at this time. There have been times when I desperately wanted to cry, when I felt so sorrowful, and even then I couldn’t. It’s only rare, very rare occassions when I can cry. And certainly, I feel very good this evening, and even if I went inside and found something sorrowful, even then I would be unable to cry.
JOSEPHINE: My son, your statement has been received and we are aware of the difficulty with which tears can be beckoned at a moment’s notice. So, in keeping with the vital importance of this lesson we must beseech you to set aside a moment sometime, somewhere to release pain and sadness. You may be blessed by a great gift in doing so. Be not surprised if it is glory.
R: Josephine, I wasn’t really sure why, but all of a sudden it was like somebody had given me a drug and I felt like I really wanted to cry. I fought it off, I fought off that depression, did I do wrong?
JOSEPHINE: We come to you this evening to remind each of you of the importance of recalling and experiencing painful sorrow. It must be difficult for you at times to release this emotion for it is not apparent to us that it occurs very often.
R: Are you speaking to each of us as if we’re all the same in that regard?
JOSEPHINE: Richard, I have observed in each of the people present here this evening the same dichotomy, that which speaks of a blind sorrow yet a simultaneous pressure to reserve these feelings for some unknown time. This manner of non-expression is confusing to us yet we wish to be of service and would like to know more about how we can assist any of you in releasing tearful emotions.
M: Do you know how I have cried in the past, how much I have cried?
JOSEPHINE: When one dips into emotional pain there exists within a potential to create a new . .[inaudible].. that which has not existed previous to the exposure to one’s own feeling capacity. We hear and see your tears, my dear one. We wish to remind you that loss occurs over lengthy periods of time for you and cannot be cured at one fell swoop. So that when entering momentarily the depths of human emotion, one must create a new peace and harmony; the opposite side of the fence. This enables one to pull oneself into a new creation, allowing the seeds of God’s love to replant in a newly formed and nourished soil.
B: Josephine, when we dip down into grief are we to use our imagination to re-envision, re-experience the hurt, the scene of hurt, in order to bring up the tears?
JOSEPHINE: My son, Jacob, when one does those dips into the water, those tearful waters, we must remind each of you to be aware of re-injuring the soul or the spirit. Quietness in the mind of the individual who chooses to experience the pain or loss of the past will relinquish to that individual the power of release. It is not necessary to reformulate every picture. However, let it be known that this is a useful tool for some who may not reconnect with their sorrow as easily as others.
B: For those who are able to revisit scenes of hurt fairly easily, I infer that it may be easy to re-injure my soul, to continue to do that, yet it is still important to grieve ongoingly. It sounds like a fairly delicate balancing. I don’t desire to return to some of the scenes where I have been hurt yet I don’t want to eliminate the possibility of releasing grief. In my case what would you counsel?
JOSEPHINE: My son, recall if you will a moment in time that encompasses the third year in your life here on Urantia, this time was one of sorrow if you remember.
B: I don’t remember, Josephine
JOSEPHINE: Then recall the sorrow that fits into an early part of your childhood.
B: O.K.
JOSEPHINE: Now, it is due to experience this pain and sorrow, if it is there.
B: Yes.
JOSEPHINE: Now release it! [pause] It is done. God’s gift is yours. An extraordinary step to relinquishing pain, and borrowing for a moment a split second of time in which you are catapulted further into the Father’s loving arms.
B: Was this an act of my own mind? By virtue of feeling it did I release it?
JOSEPHINE: Acknowledgement, release, and receiving love. . . . [end of tape].
B: Does this involve labeling the feeling?
JOSEPHINE: It involves much more yet we are not aware of all the circuits which surpass our knowledge even. Acknowledgement of feeling brings a response on the bodily level which then open circuits to the heart and the mind; this refuels one’s heart with love. It is simple, technical, yet very possible for all of us.
B: It opens up a circuit which must involve our body, am I correct?
JOSEPHINE: Yes, this is definitely the case. Bodily response is so important that we cannot even begin to describe to you the importance of receiving feeling on this level.
B: Wouldn’t at some point in our process . . . . It would be most welcome at least for me to discuss the role of the body. Now even.
JOSEPHINE: It would be in tune with a greater circuit which we will commence to find for future lessons.
B: In looking at the memory that you guided me to look at I also had feelings of anger. And I have worked on the anger around that incident as well. Is anger part of this process as well? — releasing anger. And is there such thing as “anger work”?
JOSEPHINE: First, I must say to you that Asia chuckles for she was forewarned of the use of anger as a teaching tool this evening. Anger, my son, is expressed bodily. When trapped in the body system it creates great disharmony and disease. In a literal sense, disease, not just discomfort.
Tackling all your issues at once could be a mistake for any individual, yet anger is quite an impressive tool for healing. It does dislodge many blocks which restrict the inflow of the Father’s love. So, anger is quite an experiment in release and must be approached carefully.
We must let you know of something at this time. We are aware, as always, of sorrow in each of your hearts, and also accompanying this sorrow is anger. We question each of you at this time on the role this anger plays. Is it not a defensive posture? Does it require much energy to retain anger in one’s bodily system? How much force do you think it may require to continue holding on to trapped emotions over long stretches of time?
We are inclined to remind each of you that release of your burdens –“throwing luggage to the stars” [reference to a statement by Michael in previous session] is quite imperative if you wish to increase your receptivity to the Father’s loving wishes for you.
“Cry not for your brother” [reference to previous session] yet allow your tears to fall and then reclaim your gift. That gift is, of course, the ever present, ever flowing, ever nurturing power of God’s love.
M: I’m becoming aware of some fear of letting go of my pain regarding my oldest son. I am afraid that if I let go of the pain that he will always be lost.
RONDEL: My dearest daughter, we are so aware of the pain you have experienced in regard to your beloved son. We know of his misery and his plight, yet we beseech you my daughter, release the pain for it is of no use to him or you. It truly impedes the work of God in each of your lives. It acts as an impediment to the possibility which is within each of you: that which would allow your hearts to flourish, to open and become so receptive that all love and goodness would come your way without hesitation. We implore you, open your hearts, release your fear. We protect and guide you each step of the way if it is your desire. Allow us to assist you and it will be done.
M: It is my deep desire that he be brought back, that he be my son again.
RONDEL: So then my dear one, release him to us, to the Father. We will see to his pain and assist him in all ways which are possible for us.
M: I feel very grateful.
RONDEL: You indeed are a blessed child of the Father and we wish to remind you now of your exquisite loving nature and your “dollish fancies”. We are enlightened by your beautiful, charming nature and see the potential for you to create a home in which you are allowed to dress up your life in the ways in which make you happy and warm. There you see, laughter and joy, after so much pain.
M: Thank you, I feel very hopeful.
RONDEL: We are reminded at this time of a unique gift that has been ordered for you at this time. The presence of your Michael Son is here and requests of you your openess.
MICHAEL: My children, great events have transpired here. I receive from each of you a golden gift of light upon receipt of your tears, your laughter, your anger and your pain, for it tells me that you are searching truly in your own hearts to encapsulate the fullness of your existence here on Urantia, the planet of my birth.
I come to you with great pride in my heart and echo the Father’s love for each of you. I am open and responsive to any questions you may have of me at this time.
[pause]
If there are no questions I shall tell you a small story.
When I came to your earth as a small vulnerable, helpless, mortal child I must have been seen with eyes of indignation from some. For I received a pain in my spirit which was not of the Father. I requested of my mother, Mary, to release me of a burden I could not describe for her. She saw my passion for truth at a very small age. She perceivd in me a greatness. And yet I cried mournfully for the split that had occurred in my spirit by those who sought to destroy me.
Release of this pain took many years, for it was so difficult, impossible, to identify. It created for me a turmoil which you may understand. This turmoil resonated strongly within, without cause for expression. It was turned inward until a later age at which I was reminded by the Father of my capacity to cleanse my spirit of all wounded-ness. I possess that quality as each of you possess this quality.
We are here to remind one another of our part in a great scheme. We allow ourselves to wallow at times in the pain of not knowing. Or maybe it is the release of pain, which we know all too well, which contains us.
When I was brought to the cross to bear the burdens of the sinners of the planet Urantia, I was released of all pain. I overcame in a great flash of insightful love the indignities which were cast upon my spirit. Protected was I by the Father, as each of you are.
Designed to grow, to experience, to believe in the Father, you, too, shall overcome fear and loss, agony and self-pity. We will together walk to the heavens of the Father’s love and rejoice together in the time which has passed. For has it not truly brought us to a great desiring for truth and love in our lives? So rejoice with me at this time, for I behold in each of you a love that radiates through all creation. You are exact replicates of our Father’s love.
B: Michael, may I ask you a question?
MICHAEL: Yes, Jacob.
B: When you released the wound that you received as a child, tell us more about how you acheived that overcoming of the hurt, and if you will, more about the incident which you had to overcome.
MICHAEL: Only with thoughts of indignation was I injured as an infant. It becomes remarkable when one considers the effect of thought or intent on the impressionable vulnerability of an infant person. One cannot design such impurities, they only exist by creative, purposeful thought.
I came to believe and understand the Father’s love in a new and approachable way when I reached the human year of twenty-seven. It was at this time that I realized my potential for healing the wound and simultaneously understood the cause and everlasting impact it had had on my mind up to this time.
B: I am hearing you say that the wound you had as an infant stayed with you until this age, and how did you then–by way of giving us guidance in how to release our childhood wounds–open and then release it? Was it through prayer?
MICHAEL: By this time I was well acquainted with the Father’s purpose and intent for me on the planet and was assured of great capacity. I then realized my potential to heal this wound which had been inflicted at such an early age. Upon this realization I was acknowledging the wound, appreciating the feeling, and releasing to the Father this ancient disease which had existed within my body, my spirit, my heart.
B: You say it was in your body, and did it entail tears? Was it in your human mind? I’m referring to emotions.
MICHAEL: It was only at this time truly that I wept silently. Many years had passed wherein I wept openly. I wished to release this burden for very many years but could not find the path to release it until I found the truth of the Father’s love. It was at this time that I became acquainted with my ability to heal myself and others as well. Yet, I remind each of you that healing is a gift which you possess; I am of you as you are of me. I am the healer thus you are each healers. This is clear?
B: Yes, and if I may by way of clarification understand that -and this would be of value to healers- would be to clarify that you had wept at various times, and then had not, and then this incident was one of finding the pathway to the pain, through silent weeping. Is this a correct recounting which would be of great value to understand.
MICHAEL: It was within my heart that I felt such sorrow and thus turned to the Father for release with great intent of His intention to assist in releasing this caught feeling. I see your concern and trepidation for I hear and see what was taught earlier in relation to weeping out loud. You must remember that there is entrapment that has occurred in your hearts. When one weeps openly this is fine, yet standard protocal requires that the Father’s assistance is requested in order to release and move forward. I have wept silently. I have wept out loud. I wish to inform you that the intent is what is of concern.
Dragging around such baggage is not a requirment for living on this planet, Urantia. You are not to be burdened or punished for any sinful or wrongful actions. Each of you has unconditionally the gift of the Father and will find it to be so upon release.
Remember, in your hearts lies the garden of Eden wherein all desires are met.
We do not perceive acts of disdain toward the Father as hurtful. They are seen as only the rebellious acts of children searching for truth. We enjoy the child’s search for truth and ask of you to continue. You are embraced in the Father’s love and forever will it remain so.
[pause]
Very well if there are no more questions, embrace each other in the loving knowledge of the Father fragment within. Allow the dust of the past to settle and move forward with the fury of the newly charged stallion. We enrich your lives as you have enriched ours. Rest and go in peace, my children.
T/R: Michael has rained down–I’m not sure how to describe it–it’s as if you had taken a cup of petals from a lilac and sprinkled it, as love, down on top of us. And also, He has carried love in a circle around through us. If there are no more questions, that is all.
C: I would like to ask, if we do not feel this love that has been rained down upon us, does it nevertheless have a positive affect on us, or does in have an effect only if we feel it?
JOSEPHINE: C., my dear one, you are recalling, of course, the lesson of this evening which admonishes the pent up feelings which restrict the receipt of the Father’s love. By bringing up painful memories which then strengthen your future, we gift you with the understanding that limited are your potentials at this time to receive the Father’s love.
However, do not be dismayed for you are rightfully protected in the process of growth and recovery and are led to loving and “learningful” experiences which will excite and move you more quickly towards a place of greater reception. The . . . [inaudible]. . . with which you are working at this time is one way in which your mind is being prepared to receive at a greater level and now we are ready to prepare your heart to receive at still a greater level today.
C: But I do not understand the answer. If we are given this love but cannot feel it, does it have value nevertheless to us, or is the value only in the feeling it, the experiencing of it? Or am I experiencing and not feeling it?
JOSEPHINE: My son you are indeed of quizzical nature this evening, require only of yourself the trust and faith necessary to continue on the path of continual opening and ever increasing reception and you will know your own answer to this question.
C: Very well, thank you.
B: Josephine or RondEL, would you recommend the use of consciously using music, poetry, drama, as ways to bring about a catharsis in the mind that would help to release these hurts, or grief, or is that an experience of a whole other kind?
RONDEL: (end of tape) . . . and we appreciate your noting detail.
B: I have been detail oriented tonight.
RONDEL: We have observed you in this fashion, yes.
B: I was given a practice for catharsis that involves beating pillows. All I can say is that it seems to have worked. Do you have any commentary on that kind of practice? In recent months I have thought of this as being rather crude and I think on many occassions, “I wonder what Josephine and RondEL would say about the process of beating a pillow with a bat in order to bring about a catharsis and a release?” I might as well ask.
RONDEL: Jacob, my son, much strength have you gained from this practice; physically as well as emotionally, is this not so?
B: Yes, it is!
RONDEL: We wish to advise you to replace pillows frequently if possible. Truly, it is useful if you find it so. Trust your instincts, your intuition will guide you and you will find the easiest possible solution for yourself, for it is spirit-led.
B: Were you present when I began that practice?
RONDEL: I became a guide and teacher for you when there was much confusion in your life regarding certain, specific relationships and detailed problems regarding work and home improvements and received a concerned message that you may need some assistance. It was at this time that I came to your side and have been there ever since, enjoying the partnership, I might add.
B: Thank-you for the three-fold fluctuation of the light next to my bed.
RONDEL: I was wondering how to reach you and it became evident that this would be a useful tool to remind you of my ever-present love and guidance for you.
B: Oh, RondEL, that was a triumph of technique.
RONDEL: Maybe some day in the astrals we will discuss how to carry out such technique.
B: I can’t wait.
M: I have a question, I spoke earlier of having experiences in which I felt I have been taught. This experience–do I have a teacher? And is this awareness of being taught an awareness of that teacher?
RONDEL: I would be pleased to introduce you to your long-standing teacher at this time.
[T/R: it sounds something like Fedonna].
FEDONNA: I am with you my dear and take great care and gladness (?) to assist you at all times. I wish let you know of this. I celebrate every moment and have taken great strides to assist you whenever possible.
I recollect a time when we first met, unbeknownst to you. You were a small infant yet I carried with me a knowing of a future time when we could correspond in such a dear fashion. There will be ample time for you to receive and gain a better understanding of my messages in your private life. I come to you often and over time we will better acquaint ourselves with the technique involved in personal transmission.
M: I can hardly wait.
FEDONNA: With great delight I offer to you a bouquet of brightly colored roses. There are many, they are splendid and they are for you!
M: Thank-you! Your name is Fedonna, is that correct?
FEDONNA: It may be pronounced Fedona (?)
L., I speak to you harshly to remind you of a cataclysmic event. One which will bring to you great sorrow if you continue to follow a path of intolerance. I am your assigned receiver for prayer and know that which you have requested. My name is, (approx. ) Farragon. I belong to an order which makes use of intense prayer. I am in service and I wish to remind you of the care you must take in choosing the path which lies ahead.
Remind yourself of your own dearest wisdom, that wisdom which is very near to your central spirit. This wisdom will guide you at all times. Never, at all costs, do not betray this innermost wisdom. It will guide you to certainty, to love, to truth. All answers will be found there for you. Any questions?
[pause]
We must continue at this time I will respond to your questions at a later date.
JOSEPH: I am Joseph, surveyor of truth and wisdom. With great heart do I implore each of you to find the truest form of nature in your deepest selves, that which creates the body you exist in. Have a knowledge and an understanding which surpasses the intellect at times. It is of great necessity that one follows the ebb and flow of cellular knowledge so that you may gain greater knowledge and surpass the intellectual foundations of decision making. This does not imply that the intellect is of no use, of course. It is just that,at times, knowledge can be found more deeply in wisdom than in logistical thought processes.
The intellect may be employed once the wisdom of cellular knowledge is thus in place. This must be known before each of you embark upon the paths which lie ahead.
B: Thank you for coming to visit us, Joseph. Is there more, or something that may embellish what was said earlier?
ALICIA: I am one with a great universe.. Unfolding before your eyes is a magnificent creation. Create within yourselves the beauty which you desire, and embrace the beauty which you create and allow it to flow into the realms of others’ existence. Music is a gift and will create harmony and beauty in your life, R, as it does in others. Gifted are thee with the ability to play and resound with the spirit of love within.
R: Thank you
Closing
ALICIA: We are richly blessed with each other’s company, are we not? . . . [inaudible].
RONDEL: Remember, embrace each other, love each other unconditionally. For the Father enriches each of you with this special, extraordinary gift.
Session 9
5/23/93 Transmission Norman, Oklahoma ===Opening [Initial portion of session not recorded] . . . . So relax into the moment of being here. Take this time to be centered in the stillness.
[Zion]
ZION: I belong to the group of celestials which recounts the episodes of one’s life to them. . . [inaudible]. . . that honor the spirit being within. I bring great news to all of you here. Encouragement has been a gift to each of you, and the memories are a path to us.
Lesson
ZION: Once, when we came to your planet, we began to see such demise as was incomprehensible to us. The inhabitants were starving from lack of light and love in their hearts. They truly were inept at finding the true patterns of existence which would allow them peace and security, harmony, in their personal lives.
As each of you strive forward you may discover that there is a path which resonates true for you. Follow me for a moment while I guide each of you individually on a path which is truly your own. The guides which are provided here this evening will accompany each of you individually. As assigned, it is thus: B., RondEL will be your servant in this way this evening. M., of the star world, you are assigned under the care, cordially so, of Alicia. C., your instructor will be Montarey this evening. A., you will be assigned Josephine. R., your assignment will be with Laura. It is I, Zion who speaks at this time.
Now, create for yourself a space which is safe and yet at the same time expansive. It may be dark or light it may exist or it may be imaginary. There only needs to be the requirement that it is safe, unique, and a gentle, loving place for you to expand.
This is accomplished, it is then necessary to request the Father’s presence. . . [inaudible].
Now embrace the Father as he embraces you in this unique identified spot. Release all cares and concerns to the Father for He is all present. He is master of the universes. Quiet now your weary souls, rest your minds my children and see now the true nature of your being.
[Inaudible]. . . pure and simple, carry with you this truth. Rising up above our place we may see a new perspective on the world as it is. Carry with you the truth that lies within. Begin to enrich your vision and believe in possibilities which never before entered your imagination.
Begin to see yourself grow and change in ways which are new, different, exciting and provocative. Carry no burdens with you, allow them to fall heavily away from your lightness of spirit. Rise above the pain and sorrow of your past, and carry with you your truth of simplicity and love into an outer realm of existence. This is TRUTH in its purest form.
Take note of what you see, imagine the possibilities that lie ahead and the extraordinary gifts which are yours. Embrace yourself with love and know that you are deserving of all the unique riches of this universe. Indeed, each of you are deserving.
You must now imagine your goodness in the world. You carry with you a light that is the Father’s love. It belongs to Him yet it is also yours. Allow this light to become brilliant, shining forth into the safe world which you have created, allowing the truth to be permeated by your loving gift which resides within.
Now escape this place for a moment and cast a glance backwards to see what it was that you left behind.
How dense does it appear to you? Rate it on a scale if you must or imagine the contrast in your own mind. Is it your desire to return to the heaviness and darkness of your past? –of a few moments ago–or do you desire to move forward into the light of the Father’s love? Decide for yourselves. There is truly a choice.
If it is that you decide to dwell in the dwelling place, that of the Father’s love, then we will continue on our journey. Now, rest for a moment and realize the potential here. Can you see the light? Can you imagine the possibilities encompassed in release of the Father’s love? How it may touch those you meet on your daily travels?
Imagine a confrontation with one who you may regularly meet and allow the newness and brightness of God’s love to enter the situation. How is it changed for you? Is there not extraordinary love which embraces the situation? Has resentment and fear been erased from the encounter? Have all possibilities thus been explored, or at most, could the other person have received the slightest twinkling of remembering? We must remember, the Father is the one who dwells within. It is not our lust or greed or our pride or our ego which calls us forth. . . [telephone interruption]. . .
My children come back to us. It will not be lost. Come back to the remembering. R., we are all still present and attest to the fact that a disruption has occurred but it is possible to regain our standing. This enlightening experience is a thoughtful one for us, for is it not true that our lives are filled with disruption and discontinuity? When we can reserve the right to view and experience the love of the Father in light of difficult circumstances then it is true that we have found peace and integrity. Let us continue if all is well.
Carry yourselves back to that place of safety. Quickly rise above allowing your resentments and fears, losses and grief and anger to drop away. Enter the place where your innermost light is radiating with great strength throughout your being and into the outer world, and continue in your imagination to that place where you encounter another on your path. Embrace them with the Father’s love and see the twinkling in their eye that is a reminder that they have remembered.
Open yourselves now to that remembering: the spirit that resides within, the truths of self, the fulfillment of God’s prophecy that we may all attain peace, harmony, joy and fulfillment of desire in each of our own lives.
And now accept into your existence the beauty of the Father’s love. As it radiates out, allow it to stream in again. This circuit thus completed will endow each of you with a strength and power, a force, which is primitive yet exists throughout creation. Allow yourselves to walk carefully down a descending stairway back into your safe place.
Upon your return it is with great surprise that you discover that all your pain has been transformed so that your safe place is beaming (?) like a jeweled crown. Truth and simplicity surrounds you.
Embracing the love of the Father as he embraces you, you are reminded of your full potential. Now it is time to return to your sitting place and we will respond to your questions or to experiences spoken of within your teacher communication.
T/R: RondEL is present to hear any questions or experiences.
Dialogue
R: I want to say I appreciate the journey we have been directed on. There was something very important to me. Are we able to use this technique regularly by ourselves? Is it necessary that we be led by E. in visualizations such as this?
RONDEL: I am allowed to inform you at this time that this visualization comes from a higher source. That which we will not describe in full at this time. It is a tremendous. . . [inaudible]. . . and gift. It will be yours to use at your convenience.
R: Have you seen anything of Marcus in awhile?
RONDEL: Marcus has declined to participate at this time for he has been called to other business associated with the TM.
T/R: RondEL as I experienced this journey a lot of visualization has occurred yet I felt as though my body is numb. I am both concerned and curious about what it is that I can do to enhance my ability to receive, or what it is that is interfering with my ability to respond.
RONDEL: You are required only to participate at your best level of this kind. Try not to judge your experience, only be receptive to the trueness which has occurred. You have visualized many beautiful things and they may be carried into your present everyday life and will enrich it thus. We are pleased at your ability to accompany us on this journey.
M: RondEL I have a question about eating. You know the thoughts and questions I have on the role of animals on our planet?
RONDEL: Yes I am aware of these, M.
M: Can you give me some enlightenment about what is proper for us to eat and what is not proper? I have a sense that some things should not be bred and grown just to die for my nourishment.
RONDEL: However one chooses to perceive their environment, so may it be. I am enlightened on the views of vegetarianism and the associated concerns that Urantians have in regard to morality and the ethical treatment of animals on your planet. However, choices have been made as to how your populace will be fed and these have served you well. You have gained nutritional delights in the allowing of this dietary experience.
Now it for you to decide how you wish to proceed with your own dietary choices. This is truly how healing occurs through one’s own heart and wisdom. Determine for yourself what you believe is true and follow with rightful action. In all cases regardless of topic, this is wise counsel.
Now we must return to the consideration of the experience which was encompassed in this evening’s journeyful meditation.
R: RondEL, when I visualized Father in my presence embracing the Father a sense of security came over me and I knew that I could not be harmed. Is this true in our world today, that we can come to no harm if we keep the Father in our minds and in our hearts, or might we drive our car off a cliff? What do you think?
RONDEL: We are so excited by this discovery for you, for truly you are impenetrable to hurt. Anyone’s anger or discontent cannot truly touch you. When one sees the possibilities of striking out into the world and remaining unharmed regardless of circumstance then it is true that all possibilities become enhanced. If it is possible, you can carry this sense of safety with you into your every minute of life. You will discover great joy and happiness and truly will find that, unless it your choice, you shall not drive off a cliff.
We also wish to say to you at this time that we believe in your possibility for greatness and see the potential for love in your heart which radiates out to us on a daily basis.
R: Stroke me, stroke me!
RONDEL: Inclined are we to remind you that we believe in you. It is only in joy and anticipation that we remind you of your goodness.
R: Thank you.
B: I really have only one thing to report and that is the surprising discovery of serenity and concentration which is different from the last few days. I’ve had some agitation and inability to concentrate well so I’m thankful for the exercise for getting me back to center. I went to a sanctuary which I created once which has various visual elements in it, and I was happy to return to that image I had very carefully created.
I hope to go back to it and pick up where I left off when I was using that sanctuary as a place to go that was safe. I attempted to visualize you just in the same way I was visualizing a guide then. The vision of the Father was unsteady. It wasn’t a person, it was like a mountain, -the Father was on the mountain. I felt His nearby presence which I think accounts for this sense of peace.
RONDEL: I would like to thank you for your participation and openness in this way, my son, for I know that you have come a long distance and have traveled many miles. It is true that the Father’s presence is somewhat shaky in your mind and I would request that you imagine for a moment what the possibilities could be if He were in your life, ever present, at every moment, then truly would you know happiness and peace.
B: I sure would RondEL.
RONDEL: This is my desire for you.
B: Couldn’t wish or a better thing
RONDEL: I love you my son and encourage you in all ways.
B: Do you have any comment on the events of the last two days?
RONDEL: I am remiss to be able, but not at this time.
B: We’ll try later, thank you RondEL.
C: When I tried to embrace the Father I couldn’t imagine the Father being in one place. It was more as if I were unable to embrace Him, but He was able to embrace me. He was everywhere but I could not put Him in one place. Can you say anything about that?
RONDEL: What a thoughtful and provocative question you have asked, my dear one. We are inclined to remind each of you that embracing is not always of a physical nature, it can imply that one only opens one’s heart to receive. Does this clarify “embracing the Father” for you?
C: Yes, thank you.
T/R: C., RondEL is pouring forth much love to you at this time, happiness and joy.
C: I would like to thank RondEL and would like to return it.
RONDEL: It is our desire that it continues to be so, for we love and appreciate your gifts so completely.
At this time we wish you are in comfort to share your concerns or questions.
M: There have been so many questions this week, small questions, I don’t know if I can be specific about one or two. Yesterday was a very difficult day for me, can you give me some idea about why it was so hard? It seemed like part of me was in charge that was not healthy.
RONDEL: I am inclined to let you know of a service which has been accomplished. That is, we truly wish to know only of your experience here this evening at this time, and would request that you, later in the session, ask these questions. We are glad to respond yet at this time our focus is on the meditation which was. . .
M: I visualized myself in a large field that slanted gently toward the sun, and around me was growing lacy green grass, and it was very peaceful. When I was asked to visualize the Father I came back to the ground around me and I wondered if perhaps that was too limited a view of the Father.
RONDEL: I believe your vision was extraordinary for where you have arrived at this day. You must imagine for yourself how long and far your journey has taken you. I wish to remind you at this time that we have walked much quieter paths and you my dear have rushed up into my [view(?)] to discover what it has to offer. We wish to remind you also that the spiritual journey is one that requires time and much patience.
When one begins to open their heart to the fruitfulness of God’s love it may take time to notice and taste fully the fruit. Digestion is required. It is in order that you would find your ideas of God somewhat limited at this time for it will take a while to discover what is true for you in this way.
R: RondEL, I haven’t said a thing about my visualization; I was surprised when we were asked to go further forward into another place and to visualize the light . I found myself similarly to M., in a very green pasture, but I had huge mts. which reached way up in front of me strongly lit by the sun. I was surprised to see that the sky was a very rich deep blue, almost violet. Is there any significance to that?
JOSEPHINE: Hello, it is I, J. of your nighttime sky. I am inclined to remind you that the color of violet, or purple as it is known, requires the fantastic healing powers of the universe to be created. When viewing this color imagine that you are in the chamber of healing love and light. Your sky then has represented this for you. [end of tape]
. . spirit of love which you encountered earlier this evening. It was of white light, was it not? So then you know you have reached truth, the God within. Also now reflect for a second on the color indigo. Its powers are also of a healing nature yet with great intensity for it encompasses sorrow and grief. It will absorb these feelings allowing then entrance of other emotion to enter, such as love and lightness of the spirit. Then of course there is pink, which is a color that indicates to us that there is hope. As the flower rises up in the Spring (that of pink nature) it reminds of the hope of a new start, and the ingredients are there with which to produce a seed and hence another vigorous, loving plant to unfold the following Spring and so on.
We turn our attention to the colors green and yellow. These colors are of quality reminding us of melancholy moments when we hold our hearts. They are colors that remind us of Christmas’s past, or maybe fond memories from our childhood. They are slight illuminations in a colorful mosaic of experience.
Then we turn our thoughts to the color fuchsia. It brings to us glad tidings, yet also a warning, of not being too impetuous. As we perceive you we see all these colors, you see? and it is with great delight that we determine how you are functioning on your inhabited world.
R: Do you refer to an aura of color that surrounds us that is not perceptible to us but it is to you?
JOSEPHINE: Many of you are unaware of this color arrangement. Yet there exists some on your planet who can perceive these differences of light expression.
R: I have debated for days on what color to paint my daughter’s room because she’s a teenager and I want her to have a color around her that will help her particular condition emotionally and mentally and so forth. I finally landed on the color of periwinkle, is that a nice color for her room?
JOSEPHINE: We believe that she would be delighted as would her spirit in the surrounding of this color around her sleeping area.
B: I am curious about the color blue, I don’t think we heard a commentary on blue, Josephine.
T/R: Josephine is singing a phrase from old 40’s song “Am I Blue?” [group laughter]
JOSEPHINE: Blue also for us is a representation of the possibilities of healing which may occur in a wounded spirit. Surrounding one’s self with blue will provide protection and also absorbency of negative emotion.
Now we present to you, once again, the expected arrival of the Father-Son Michael into your midst. He has been watching and caring for each of you most dearly and would like to remind you of His desire that you stay open in heart that you may receive fully His love.
MICHAEL: It is I, Michael, the Inhabitant of Your Heartsong, the Bringer of Love, the Desirer of Peace. I wish to bestow upon all of you at this time a message. That is one that concerns all of you, but individually will it be received. Independent are all of you. . . [inaudible]. . . enriched are we in the heavenly place of our Father by your uniqueness and differences.
How come it has been such a long arduous journey? Can you imagine the turmoil you must have struggled through to come to a resting place? Now you find it is yours. You have traveled, you have come a long way my children. Rest your weary, mortal souls. Allow then the incredible gift that is yours. It does belong to you, for you are, all of you, parts of a very great and cosmic universe!
You are deserving of all the riches you so desire. Is it love you wish for, or is it maybe to have happiness? Do you desire a finer home or more security financially? Is it health that you wish to attain or maybe longevity?
However it is for you, know that your desires are to be met. Lay down your burdens, relax in the loving arms of the Father-Son. I, Michael, come to deliver you. I am here. I believe in all things that are attainable for each one of you here. Love embraces you. Whether it is your experience or not, it does embrace you. You must have seen this, I am sure. My children, it is in your awareness.
Now I direct your awareness to a very small pinpoint of time and space. It is deep within your consciousness. Fall back to this place. It is known. As a magnet it draws your attention. Once there, when you reach your destination, this small point of light, it explodes within, it radiates out, it is love. It is experience of a body level. It is felt in your mind, your heart, your spirit. Rejoice now in the everlasting, the overpowering beauty of this love. It encapsulates all time, it goes beyond your imagination. It is infinite and exotic yet it belongs to you also.
Now feel the impulses that vibrate within your diaphragm. These are reminders of the God-Spirit within. They tap out a beat which is individual and is your own. Following this beat you will know your truth, your capacity, your beliefs. This pulse determines your state of being, your actuality. When you realize you are on the path of truth and power, the path that speaks to you of wisdom and light, then will it be that this pulsing rhythm that you feel in your belly will remind you of your truth. It is a powerful sensation, not to be mistaken.
Now imagine, once, your truth and beauty. It frees you, takes you to the heavens. It is enlightening, it is bright, it is exciting. It draws you forward and with it you are to find the Father. Hold to your beliefs, they enrich you. Now, release and become as the Father. As one we are inspirational. As one we are unstoppable. We are all that there is to be. . . [inaudible].
T/R: Michael, is moving carefully around the circle laying hands on each of us before He moves on. I would like to hold hands in acknowledgment of His presence. Thank you Father for the extraordinary gift. The teachers are in a ring above us creating a golden circle of love. It is unifying with the circle which we are creating. There is a passing, an inflow and outflow of love that’s created. They are completely in tune with our loving energy field as we are with theirs. They wish to let us know that this represents the end of the session tonight and we may continue to experience this as long as we wish.
Session 10
6/6/93 Transmission Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Opening
RONDEL: Hello to one and all. It is I, RondEL, here to serve you in dearest fashion. I will bring to this room many varied colors. [Emotions] may run high yet we request that you quell your fears and anxieties in order that you may respond to truth. Now we wish to engage each of you in a matter of concern. This would be: the forthcoming entrapment of rebellious spirits. It is our desire to inform you and others of the nature of the “beast,” so to speak. Zion is here to speak at this time.
Lesson
ZION: I wish to warn those present of an impending crises of sorts. There has been much malaise among a few of you here on Urantia. Many of these Urantians have been touched by a power that they deem more important than the Father’s loving wishes and guidance for individuals here on this planet. They choose to see darkness and refuse to open the shade towards enlightenment.
Now this has created turmoil and chaos in light of the proposed outcome of the TM. Many of those involved are of higher natures yet find themselves imposing beliefs and thought processes on others who are vulnerable “enriching” themselves with jewels which cast only a shallow glimmer.
In order to see to it that these forces can be stopped we encourage here this afternoon to call in force your angels. Your prayers are of great benefit to this portion of the mission and we would like to remind each and every one of you here that you are also rewarded through prayer.
MICHAEL: Once when this planet, Urantia, was very young, many spirits arose who wished to control and demand of the Father riches that, though in essence belonged to them, were requested at inappropriate times and places. Yet they insisted, and, as it is that the Father cannot truly withhold gifts, He was positioned to respond. These dark spirits went on to claim more of the earth’s resources, carrying no shame or guilt within their hearts.
Whereas the planet had been created to sustain all living things, we soon discovered that the plight of this planet was demise. The story has unfolded over many generations and you have seen the outcome in each of your personal lives. These effects could be identified as lack of union among peoples; harmony is a missing piece to a very great puzzle. Without harmony, indeed, my children, we cannot truly co-exist for our natures demand reciprocity and trust.
Release the judgments of others in this aspect. For you must see that judgment only intensifies the separation. So I call to you, my dearest children of faith, to come to Me by your prayers and hence facilitate healing and maturity on Urantia.
T/R: RondEL is here and wants to hear questions and concerns.
Dialogue
R: You began with the entrapment of dark spirits, and this should be something of the near future, then you spoke of those who refuse to be enlightened, can you be more specific about this?
MICHAEL: My dearest son, you must know that in your personal life there are encounters with some who wish to remain in the darkness. If you imagine now that they are not at fault, but under the. . . [unclear word choice]. . . nature of darker forces, then may you recall that the light of the Father resides within each part. The spirits that coax an individual into darkness through promises of gain, which is in what comes to be seen as plastic jewels, truly have followed a wrongful path, yet are not to blame. We have thus begun a mission to eradicate the spirits which influence your vulnerable and naive brothers and sisters.
R: It seems as though we are so grossly outnumbered, it is difficult for me to imagine, though I am certainly eager to do whatever you would like me to do in this effort. We are talking about the few against the many, aren’t we?
MICHAEL: Remember, each child of the Father has within a light which echoes for the love of our spirit-led lives. Now it appears that grand are the dark ones in number, yet truly it is an illusory experience. They only forget what truly resides within.
M: These dark ones, are you talking about celestial personalities, such as Lucifer, or what is it that you’re talking about?
MICHAEL: “Dark ones,” my dear child, a remark made only to influence the idea of separateness these children have from the light of our loving Father. It is not to assume that they are evil or otherwise depicted as being against us, in opposition. No, my children will always remain my children whether the path they choose is of light or dark. I wish to emphasize at this time that love is the answer to all of these ills. We can only approach others gently and softly, reminding them of that which they have left behind momentarily.
R: You say that it was an illusion that there are so many, that they had forgotten what lay inside. Were you referring to the kingdom of God they had forgotten within them?
MICHAEL: R., you have spoken to Me many times of the necessity for others to reunite themselves with their inner kingdom.
R: Amen.
MICHAEL: It is thus, though your words may not have spoken such. When one begins to receive the influence of the nature of darkened spirits -it is the dimmed-light ones-you begin to note a distinct reaction to the world. Those that choose to walk in the light of the Father’s love find paths which are exciting and provocative and are open to new and wondrous possibilities. The others who have forgotten to maintain a connection with God find themselves lost, aimlessly, frantically searching for their own personal truth.
Children, have you experienced the lost-ness, the forgetting of one’s truest loving nature? Now you find yourselves in this room listening with extraordinary faith to my message to you. Maybe once your life was also dim. Yet you may now see the truth. All of my children are thus close to enlightenment at any stage of their existence. They are not truly dark, they only believe in things which make it difficult for the Father’s love to shine through. Has this answered your question?
R: Then we do not hate them but we love them, and in doing that we perhaps help them to see the light within them?
MICHAEL: A wise one are you indeed. Yes this truly is the answer.
R: Thank you.
MICHAEL: It is imperative that I add on to the discussion at this time. In so doing I recollect a danger, that is the permanency of the Father’s love does not extend to protection unless it is requested.
R: I request it..
MICHAEL: It is yours.
M: I request it.
MICHAEL: It is done.
W: I request it.
MICHAEL: Then shall it be.
C: I request it.
MICHAEL: It is yours.
B: I pray for protection as well.
MICHAEL: My son, B.(J.), it has been made so.
B: In the transmissions last week, Michael, we were also warned about rebellious spirits and in the earlier part of today we were told that they were being entrapped. I take it that there is danger and we need protection from influence, not directly but indirectly. Can the rebellious spirits disguise themselves and deceive naive people and give them harmful teachings, as I think was implied earlier?
MICHAEL: B.(J.), my son, indeed the danger can be found in great proportion. The imperative nature of prayer is all that is required for protection and further reduction of these rebellious spirits.
We see with great eyes the potential for this planet and bring also great hope in light of the seeming despair we may have cast upon you. Know that your planet is one that is rich in faith, and the Father, myself and many spirits of good nature have offered protection. Now to ease the conscious aspects of this planetary session I wish to bring a small dose of humor. What does one achieve when a cross between a chicken and an antelope is made?
R: A spring chicken?
B: A chick-a-lope?
MICHAEL: Any other solutions? The answer is an egg which demands to rush around creating its own universe. In this, my children, my hope is that you may see that each of you demand much of yourselves in the act of enlightening others.
R: What does the antelope have to do with it?
MICHAEL: Antelope is in reference to the disposition of this animal which is hurried, skittish.
R: It’s a pretty deep joke!
MICHAEL: I see however that my point might have been made. So continue in your daily wanderings.
Question, and repeat many prayers to the Father. All is well and in my hands. Question not your own protection for it has been granted now and forever.
W: How may we, as children of the Most High, best serve our Father in this plane on Urantia?
MICHAEL: My dear son, I ask at this juncture what it is that you believe regarding your place on Urantia. If you could respond to this question from a place of centeredness, a place of truth, I could better attend to your question.
W: It seems that I’ve been placed here as a beacon of light for those around me, as an indominable spirit to those around me, showing what is possible even though we are bombarded with negative delusions, illusions daily. That we are able to follow the Father’s will and become the best that we can possibly be if we will listen and ask for guidance and follow the path that our Father provides for us.
MICHAEL: Thank you for this delicate, thoughtful response. I would only like to add to your very own unique answer to your question that you have been created in the light of a very great Father-Son combination and it is striking to reveal this truth to those who may not wish or cannot recall this basic beginning. Now I request that you continue to shine as a beacon of light in your worldly fashion. Indeed you strike the hearts of many, igniting their flames.
I enjoy the spectacle of one light shining forth illuminating the lights of others. I thank you for your service in this way. Are you clear about the certainty with which we have spoken, that is, the following of God’s path for each individual, the illumination of the Father’s children by those who have brilliantly turned up their flames, and the enactment of the Father’s will on this planet?
W: Yes, thank you for your beautiful response assuring me of my [inward] feelings and beliefs.
MICHAEL: It is now that I come to you in fond embrace. Feel the love filtering through the top portion of your head and encompassing every cell. I give this as a gift to you.
W: Thank you.
T/R: Michael is creating a ring of light, a halo of light above us–and awaits questions.
C: I have a question. On March 27 I asked a question on truth. It has raised another question. Your response as received was, “facts come from the mind of mortal man who must differentiate between a world they don’t understand and a world created by them”
From that I got the impression that facts were not a universal reality. Then I realized that in the UB on page 2094 there is a statement,”there are just three elements of universal reality: fact, idea and relation.” From that I am confused about the role of fact–whether it is universal reality or comes from man’s mind.
MICHAEL: My son, I am so astonished and pleased by your detailed and studious manner. We have indeed had an abbreviated discourse on this topic and you find correctly that is is deepeer and yet more manageable. . . . [inaudible]. The fact is that many universal truths are known at very great and differentiated levels. The human imagination cannot conceive of the magnitude of such information. Therefore there is a gap of communication which occurs, so that what is fact for a mortal, a common mortal man, is limited in truth by what is factual for the Father. So you see, fact, as is used on your planet, is not necessarily true. Yet fact on higher, more disciplined scales can truly be seen as ultimate truisms. Has this answered your concerns?
C: Yes, I think it has, as you know my mind works slowly so I’ll have to think about it a little bit. But , yes, this is satisfactory for now, thank you very much.
MICHAEL: I believe your mental capacity is very grand indeed and appreciate the thoughtful nature of your questions. Any others?
R: Michael, I have run into something that has got me quite confused. In the UB we speak of fusion as being an act at which the thought adjuster has fused with the personality, such as Elijah in the chariot of fire. And in some of my new age material it speaks of the same experience being that of Kundalini actually devastating the physical body of the person who is quite rigid and fearful. These two are certainly in my mind opposed to each other.
Can you elucidate a little bit on the phenomenon of fusion?
Michael: Fusion occurs, as you correctly stated, when one’s thought adjuster becomes known on a bodily state. This attunement creates harmony and flux of energy. At the same time that fusion occurs there is an energy release which demands channeling or the person involved may create great disharmony and vanish.
In order to channel these explosive energies there must be great detailed/specific methods employed. These may include the following: Restrictions placed on sleep deprivation so that the body maintains a well rested, well-functioning platitude. Also, the consumption of red meats and other contaminated foods may result in greater disharmonic experiences. There also must be a nurturing and well-grounded environment surrounding such an explosive experience.
The grounded-ness may be found by anchoring through energy passages of light, or stabilizing the well-being of a certain spirit residing within, that is, requesting the existence of an indwelling spirit to create an anchor. Also the coordination of events might include the perserverence of prayer, and actualization of inviting the Father-spirit into such a creation.
R: So then, what you’re saying is that they both are essentially correct-that one may be able to fuse and contain, or at least channel the explosive force at that moment and not go up in a ball of fire, such as Elijah. But under certain circumstances one may be overcome by that explosive force.
MICHAEL: This is a correct interpretation.
R: Thank you
MICHAEL: Maybe Elijah had feasted too greatly previous to his experience! In all seriousness, I admit to knowing fully of Elijah’s experience and it was of his choosing to go forward as he did. It becomes necessary to realize that all experience is not necessarily a matter of destiny or fate. Some may choose their paths, even a chance experience such as this.
R: Are people fusing today?
MICHAEL: It has become clear to me that there are those who attempt and discover the value of this experience. It is heard of and some may have accomplished this, yes. Indeed it is a fantastic awakening.
Are there any more questions?
W: I’d like to touch on the nutritional aspects of ourselves here on Urantia which you had briefly glanced on-the detrimental properties of red meat. It seems that from what I have gathered in this short life here on Urantia that there is one spiritual path that is best for all, that is, the Father guided path, the Christ-Michael ideal. Therefore would it not follow suit that there is a dietary, nutritional path that is best for all, or as some people would like to contradict, “no, I function better on meat, cigarettes and beer” versus a vegetarian lifestyle. It may be possible but I wanted to ask and know if they’re right or are they deluding themselves, or am I the one who’s missing out by being a vegetarian.
MICHAEL: My son, deliberate are you in your questioning power. I only can say to this topic that all who join in prayerful remembrance of the Father’s love will remain in His fond embrace always.
W: Enough said, thank you. With God anything is possible. I suppose we could live on Twinkies or draw our nourishment directly from the air.
W., R., and B., extend “thank you’s” to Michael for His continual presence at our sessions
Closing
MICHAEL: Of course I also feel richly blessed, for each of you here has shown such great appreciation and openness to the Father’s nurturing presence. I wish you to enlighten you at this time to the power of my presence here.
Rapture surrounds us as I release my loving kingdom to you. Feel the presence. I touch each of you personally, blessing and hoping for you further enlightenment and love in each of your very precious, special and unique life choices. Feel Me. All is well. All is love. Thank you for this time.
