Opening
Machiventa: Welcome to this circle of souls, I am Machiventa. You who have accepted fully the reality of your sonship, your daughtership in the family of God are awakening to the supreme opportunity. That opportunity is the lifetime effort to demonstrate the goodness of God that dwells within. You exemplefy the beauty of spirit and to reveal the truth of your relationship with God such that all creatures who interface with you are given the opportunity of realizing this for themselves, a child of God who sets the will to revealing the Father as our Michael son so demonstrated and likewise encouraged of you.
Lesson
You are engaged in a twofold unfoldment. The first is your personal ascension, the undertaking of the elevation of awareness, the cultivation of love and the transformation of your faith of one who accepts sonship to one who resides thusly in truth, in fact. Your second mode is that of the active demonstration of the grace of God. Oh I have dwelt among your kind and I fully understand your honest humility as you feel that your flaws hinder such a gesture as revealing the grace of God.
Ever remember that your physical form and your mental circuitry are but as a glove over the hand of God, your indwelling spirit. Yes, you may have a few holes in your fingertips, or a run thread, but the Father nonetheless dwells within. Yielding to his presence and will gives you the power of divine energy Father will move. Accept your relationship as easily as the young lad accepted his friendship with Jesus and insisted on a walk in the hills with the creator of a universe.
The compassion of God for his creature is deeper than your deepest oceans. In your difficulties it is good to seek assistance from the divine counselor, but realize also that you are assisting spirit when you willingly give mind and body and heart to the manifestations of truth, beauty, and goodness. It is high time that Urantia as a culture develop more deeply and profoundly and assuredly the awareness of the divine family to accept ones spirit position.
Father calls you his child, therefore do not contradict him by refusing to accept it. Dwell in worship as though upon his lap, as though in the arms of Mother Spirit. You have accepted and entered into an eternal relationship, one that began when Father bestowed your personality into your current physical form and one that matured when you realized this truth. All else that transpires in your life, the further harmonization of your creature nature with the divine nature within you, is your most important and profound undertaking.
One who resides on the isle of Paradise, there is ever the condition of fraternal harmony and the luminosity of Deity is ever-present and never missed. You my young fellows are far from this universe central mansion. Who but you will be the ever-present reminder of the divine light to those in need. Who but you will affirm the fraternity of all creatures. This is your supreme opportunity for you know this significant relationship. In partnership with God all things are possible.
Though I approach you by way of words, I am in touch with your souls, I perceive their radiance. You are my brothers and sisters. Michael is our ever constant source of inspiration for he took on your form and my form that he may know in experience our orientation, our hopes, our struggles. We can ever be assured that he will reside with us. I am willing to receive your questions at this time. Thank you for hearing my address.
Dialogue
Q: Why is it on various planets that many who know our Father and discern his will refuse to allow themselves to be led into the ultimate adventure of becoming the servers of all as opposed to just merely existing? What is that great difference from those who have that great burning desire?
Machiventa: Those who accept the will of the Father and acknowledge their relationship with Him have taken the first step of faith and on a world contrasted with good and evil, there resides the potential to draw away from the environment and others in order to safeguard this fledgling understanding. Tonight I have encouraged you towards the second step, the stage of full acceptance by activating your entire being, by energizing yourself through service and union with spirit.
It is difficult to change the mind from one unworthy to one qualified. One is right to be concerned for ones abilities, but one must always rely upon the Divine Presence to go before you and to prepare you before your service undertaking. Thus the question asked by the natives of Havona, and it pleases these high beings to witness each one of you stepping forward and accepting this supreme opportunity.
Q: Concerning the rapid developments occurring the second revelatory announcement and others since the circuits have opened fully, I sense something is going on on this planet that is moving to a critical mass situation and or Michael and the correcting time participants feel that these issues must be developed promptly in order to take advantage of certain developments that will aid this unfolding upon this planet…just and observation on my part.
Machiventa: Your observation is properly aligned. We have turned up the voltage. At one time under quarantine, spirit lapped upon you shores as the small waves of a lake, now we crash upon your shores like the waves of an ocean. You gathered in this mission are as the sand receiving this force and you too now, are moving. You are the manifestation of our upstepping and I sincerely [encourage you ?? ed. note] to go forward assured of our support. . …[noise]….upon Urantia has created conditions where you are ready as a world, again the integration into the multi-planetary association of our system, but as you know, Urantia lags in many civilized developments, so we have enlisted many throughout this local universe to assist in the accelerations of Urantian progress, not the wrongful acceleration of your onetime planetary prince and acceleration beyond your abilities, this is an acceleration up to your abilities inherent in you. Continue your discernment my friend.
Q: Thank you, I get the feeling that we are going through a winnowing process for those with great faith, intention and commitment. These times of temptation and trying times are actually times of great opportunity.
Machiventa: I heartily concur.
Q: As we are allowed to more fully become atuned with our indwelling Father and receive the love of our universe parents, upon request, are we looking at greater potential to have access to the cosmic mind, at least from a planetary standpoint, as these outposts, these candles are distributed throughout the planet providing more light as time goes on?
Machiventa: Yes, and to repeat the simple phrase of Jesus, “to those who have, more shall be given”. This having does require your willingness to possess. The divine gifts are extended, but until you possess, you do not have them, and that is your act of will, and when you establish these first talents, indeed does the grace come upon you for deeper functioning. Remember, as one who knows the relationship of creature to Creator, your life functions in two ways.
One, the investigation and deepening of the reality and relationship of God, and the other, the extension of your energies of your ministry service to all other hungry souls, and when you acknowledge and activate yourself in this second level, all divine energy and support is granted you, and as you mature, greater intensities are upon you. While it is given, you must always exert the experiential effort to be ready to receive, to establish a proficiency, and to trustfully apply.
Q: This sounds a lot like the masters of the far east.
Machiventa: Those illumined souls that have gone before you did receive truths and did embody that truth. There is a long trail of saints and sages, who without their sharing, enlightenment would be lost and would need to be rediscovered. It is to your benefit that those before you preserved their enlightenment from which you have grown, I ask you to do likewise for those who will follow.
Q: I have a person in our church who felt she had an androgynous beginning. Can you share some light on that?
Machiventa: The human being is dual in function which you know as male and female. You are taught of the indwelling presence of the Father on Paradise, and as you deepen your understanding of deity, you know that God transcends male and female. The divine presence within you is not thus dual in nature. As you draw closer in spirit, you will more identify with this presence, and the avenue of your personality manifestation will be but a mode for spirit to experience life in time and space. Identity with God will transcend your gender, but your gender is a venue for the Supreme to encounter finite existence and relationship.
Each personality has the potential to manifest the qualities defined by the dual nature of the human creature. Much of the external aspects such as body and its electrical configuration biases the need whereby your personality exerts itself. Father transcends duality. The deeper your identification with his presence, increasingly do you transcend as well and likewise realize your ability to manifest in both modes available to the human creature. I hope this addresses your question.
Q: Did you say to the human creature or to the spiritual creature? Does the spiritual creature simultaneously exist as both male and female? ie. I could be in my life as a female but my androgynous half could experience spiritual manifestation and be working somewhere else?
Machiventa: You can, while being largely oriented one way, due to the configuration of your physical form, also through your personal will, express in the opposite form, be it male to female or female to male. It is natural as you ascend to recognize the inherent qualities of a unified spirit, and it is equally natural on a human level to manifest configurations of your form. The dual nature of the human being and oneness of spirit creates a threefold relationship, wherein experience reveals you to God and reveals God to you.
Perhaps this further complicates things as we speak of spirit as one, the human as dual in nature, and the threefold relationship. It is the unification of these positions that brings harmony to the soul and peace to the mind. Thankyou for your inquiries.
Q: Thank you. I belong to a church which I love and the experience and opportunities to worship there. I wonder what special blessing or upliftment it might need to have strength, and what I might do to be of help?
Machiventa: The institution of the church upon your world is a a wonderful feature in the preservation of the discoveries of truth by many throughout time, and it is the souls like yourself who have uncovered the advances in the comprehension of truth that becomes the heritage of any religious institution. You may hope and pray that those within your congregation rightly discern living truth from mere custom and to preserve that truth and also to pray that those who are led into deeper understanding are not afraid to claim the safety of Christ. To be willing to go into uncertainty.
Q: That’s exciting, to be willing to go into uncertainty, while maintaining our faith, or religion.
Machiventa: Yes, and follow the example of the Master, for he realized his true nature, yet he willingly engaged the religious leaders of his time and even fellowshipped with those deemed unworthy of such a priestly presence. While it is good to seek the lost, it is also beneficial to fellowship with your brethren for they too are willing to grow and you have the opportunity to nurture that growth, to demonstrate the rewards of facing that uncertainty and of coming to new realizations.
Q: Should I consider assisting them with the Uranita book or would that be a little uncertain for everybody, or at least my bishop. I’d like to do that.
Machiventa: Search your soul for the confirmation from spirit of when and where you may share this wonderful tool that you have. Give when the receptivity is there. Do not cast your pearls recklessly, but when the light of inquiry and intrigue and curiosity flickers, be not hesitant. Such an undertaking is much like the planting of the small mustard seed that will grow into the full stature of a mature tree, but it must be planted wisely and nurtured compassionately. Give as it is beneficial to your fellow and not merely as a wish on your own part. I thank you for working within your congregation, to be a light that isn’t under the bushel and to be a light that is increasing in luminosity.
Q: Thank you for your encouragement. I’ve been interested in Meher Baba and the fact that he has been introduced here locally and I feel he is on track with the Second Source. Am I on track, it that good?
Machiventa: This individual excelled in his identification with spirit. You will be rewarded by studying his teachings. They were sharp, they cut away the unnecessary.
Closing
Michael, I Machiventa address you, our Supreme Sovereign, our honored Master. These are your children. I am blessed to be in their service and equally blessed to be in your service. We have shared in the unique experience of living upon this world as they do now. May they deepen in trust the knowledge that we know what they go through. May they ever accept your abiding spirit and be it your will and your Fathers will and my Fathers will and their Fathers will, I pledge to be of assistance to these, my younger brothers and sisters. I will now draw close. Thank you.
