Urantia Planetary Prince, Machiventa Melchizedek.
Subject: “Dependency and Contribution.”

Message received by George Barnard.
Machiventa: “This is your Planetary Prince, Machiventa Melchizedek. The function of a universe — your picturesque planet, if you will — is to provide experiences and creature personality progress. The God-knowing mortal as well as the indwelling Thought Adjuster both fully experience life and its ups and downs, whilst through these experiences the mortal aspect of the divine/human partnership matures, evolves, progresses.
“During my time as the ‘Teacher of Salem,’ yes, an avatar, indeed, I had to re-learn that one cannot be a contributor for all of the time. Instead one needs from time to time to fully rely upon another. For a Melchizedek it is quite a humbling experience to suddenly become dependent on others as I did for nourishment, shelter and even my clothing. And yet I paid for all these thing freely given to me. I paid in respect for the giver, I freely advised those who found themselves in difficult circumstances.
“Most importantly, I awakened in countless citizens and for generations following, the love and respect for El Elyon, the one Creator God of their ‘quite average’ conceptual capacity.
“So here is the comparison: As a vulnerable human child you are initially dependant on parents or caretakers to see that you are fed, clothed and housed. And again, in the final years of your mortal life you may, or may not, once more be dependent on others. In the intervening years you have the capacity to contribute. As an Avatar Melchizedek and for 94 years I was both physically dependent and spiritually contributing.
“To answer your question (a subscriber’s question): The huge Library of Alexandria held a great amount of ancient scrolls, rolls, papyrus, vellum and early book-like records. The loss of that repository (48 BC?) stifled some more of my teachings, but the essence survived in people’s minds until the Master’s appearance on Urantia.
“Continue with your work, especially now as your ranks are thinning, be as much as you can be a cohesive force and do endeavor to train as many younger ones as you can, to hear and intuit our minds and our teachings. In so doing, you will ever be a contributor, more so than a user.
“This is Machiventa Melchizedek. You always have and always keep my love, as I now take my leave.”
George: “Thank you for answering the question. Good day.”
