Topic: Discussion About Adjusters
Group: Lightline TeaM
Teacher: The Voice, Monjoronson
TR: Mark Rogers
Opening
Mark: This lightline is dedicated to our little voices within and these are identified in a number of different ways and terms. These are just signposts, not what we are trying to describe, so we make allowances for any and all terms that feel comfortable. Everyone has their own opinion of what this is and everyone is right.
I will establish the arena, creating a space with a prayer. I feel that whenever you go to spirit you need to create the environment, make the space for this to happen. The more we make this the easier it is to return and revisit this place. Every time we return it becomes stronger and has more power. It is a safe place.
Prayer: Divine Parents, once again we assemble before you, the children of yours that we are. We come to you with open hearts and open minds that would receive from you what you have to offer us in this hour. We understand our relationship to you and appreciate that we are your children, that you hear our cries and respond to our petitions as you do in this hour. We thank you for this as we thank you for our life and everything in it. We would ask for your help to receive what you would bring to us. We trust in you, you are our parents. We trust that what you will bring to us in this hour was meant for us and that we would accept this. Thank you.
Mark: As a first step tonight I would start with a question posted this week. How is it that contact occurs, what is necessary for us to hear from teachers, from our voice inside, from presences other than ourselves? Do we need some sort of qualifications or maturity, levels of understanding to be able to approach and receive?
[I will] attempt to take some of the mystery out of this process and offer a few suggestions to those seeking to bridge this gap and make their own communication possible, easy and comfortable. First, it is not easy speaking as a T/R. As one who has done this for a number of years and spoken with other T/R’s, this process may appear as a cakewalk. I have significant experience with this process and still I grapple with the uncertainty of the entire process. When I go to engage myself as a liaison to the spirit connection from the mortal connection I’m never sure what is going to happen as a result of my offer, my commitment to this process.
I always begin with aligning myself, creating that space this can happen in, and I do this through the method of prayer and worship. I feel prayer aligns me to the place where it is safe for this to happen. This environment created through willful intent is followed by relaxation and to settle into it and take some deep breaths. On the exhale, I allow tension to be released, on the inhale try to receive divine energy. After a few of these willful breaths I find myself significantly calmed and then I open up this channel.
One visualization I use is to envision a blackboard in a classroom scribbled with the days thoughts, thought patterns that have gone on all day long. I then make an exercise of erasing this blackboard. I then stare into the blackness of this open space. Sometimes this begins the connection, other times I simply await the change I feel come over me. Often it is a thought that comes into my thought pattern from outside, but I wait for [clarification] and if it repeats itself I begin to pay attention.
If I recognize an increased physical stimulation such as increased heartbeat, pulse, increased breathing, feeling of being keyed up, I see these as signs of the time when I am in fact feeling the presence. Having been granted these signs and signals I then have to take the hardest step in this process which resembles stepping off into the abyss. From the firm footing of your comfortable environment you must take the step into the unknown by expressing what it is you are perceiving. For some this will be words that repeat or will come. For some it will be phrases of understanding. For others it will be a visual picture that needs to be described. Others will see the words on the blackboard or on the ticker tape, but none of this process begins until you are ready to actually open up your mouth or your hand and use your pen or in some fashion begin the expression.
So the process seems mysterious to those on the outside; it must seem that it flows and seems natural and progressive but I must tell you that as a mortal of the realm this is not a natural and normal phenomenon. It requires great discipline of faith to be able to extend yourself into that place and allow this process to happen. Once you begin the expression of that thought pattern, that ideal, that vision, then the train of thought begins to move and flow and almost imperceptivity the next thought comes, the next series of words are there, the next visual imagery appears and you move forward in this way.
It may be very stilted and slow, particularly in the beginning when you are beginning to understand how this works and what you are doing. I believe this is similar to what is required to begin to express the connection between you and your inner guide. It is the first step that is the hardest, stepping off into the unknown and realizing that if you have enough faith one of two things will happen; you will be granted more footing or you will learn to fly. Either way, acting in faith you will be secure.
So I encourage any of you out there seeking and desiring to participate in this process to undertake some exercises which will prove to you and to your mind that your soul actually knows what it is doing. I would offer the following suggestions. Create a safe place for yourself. This is best done individually and privately at least in the beginning because the last thing you need is the fear of the observation of others and what they may or may not think about this process. Relieve yourselves from that obstacle by doing it in private. Then, for some of you it will be advantageous to sit at the computer if you type and are comfortable with that, comfortable enough to not have to focus on the typing itself, then sit down and start with a question, the desire of your heart.
State your intent in this question, then at the end of your question, while in your safe environment, answer your question. Proceed without critique. Simply type or write or in a form comfortable to you, respond to yourself. This can be done with a tape recorder as well. Allow that you are going to see yourself in this process. You are going to recognize your words. You are going to see your understanding in your response. That is fine, but don’t slow down, don’t stop, don’t think about it, don’t try too hard, simply respond and as this process goes on you will be able to see upon reflection. Save all these journals that you do and just allow the freedom to express.
Do not worry about what is said, don’t worry about that part at all. You will sense that there is an aspect of yourself attached to this. That is as it should be. You cannot be outside of this process, you are part of this process, part of this group. Allow that this is natural and normal in this process. Form another question and then fashion a response and yes, when responding choose your highest ideals. Choose that which is the greatest source of inspiration and knowledge and wisdom for yourselves and respond to your own question.
In this way if you do your practice on a regular basis you will begin to see a pattern emerge in which you will identify in your responses, word phrases and symbols which are distinctly not yours, perhaps concepts which come to you in this process. If you take this opportunity to do these exercises you will begin to recognize that you do in fact have the ability to channel, communicate, T/R, whatever you want to call it, for something that is more than yourself. Your responses will become more and more distinguishable as being you but more and then as your connection grows in this process more and more of your response will seem unfamiliar to you as you reread it at a later time.
I offer this exercise in response to the question this week posted as to how does this happen. I discourage the idea that anyone lacks anything except practice and stillness alone does not provide you with the venue to actually express so you need to create another venue. Yet stillness is valuable, that is where you create the arena, that is where you set the stage but then it is important that you go to the next level if this is your desire. To have more of a connection with either others on the other side of the veil or your own inner voice, then one needs to practice.
It is strange but true but we are practicing something which is really quite natural in the arena of listening to our inner voice and yet we don’t understand that we do this, that we have done it from our earliest memories but we have taken it for granted that we have this presence and don’t really understand that it is really part of this process, almost impossible to tease out of the mix that is us. Nevertheless this exercise will bring you a way to bring awareness about this combination and eventually you can distinguish the one from the other far more readily with experience.
So not having anyone to bounce this question off of I will assume that this response is adequate and perhaps we will create this space we have right now together and we will proceed to open this avenue, this channel and we will in this hour ask to receive from an external personality who would accept this invitation to commune with us via this circuit that we will create.
Lesson
Monjoronson: Very well, I will accept this invitation to access this circuitry with great joy. I am Monjoronson here in partnership with this willing participant so that I may come the closer to you and we may share this circuitry and gain the deeper awareness of each others energy signature and presence through this process. It brings me great joy to see the level of enthusiasm among the constellation of bright lights that I perceive gathered around your electronic devices. Each one of you is a generator of light and you shine out and are seen by all the heavens when you come together to form this collective petition of seeking the attraction overwhelming for one such as myself who has volunteered to be in service to such as yourselves.
Therefore has the miracle of forming this union of this hour been accomplished through your desires, through my desire, through the will of The Father we have come together. I embrace you each one and welcome you to this arena, this classroom. I appreciate your questions and desires to know more about this process to come to greater understanding about your relationship to this process and how you may be engaged more certainly in this process. And because you seek, you shall find. Because you petition for understanding it shall be granted. Because you pursue this seeking you shall find even in this hour.
Certainly when the classroom is arranged, and the eager students file in then the focus of the entire project at hand becomes to give the students what they are asking for, provide for them that they may understand. And so it is in your coming to this classroom, you assemble with your intentions, you arrive at this place by your own free will and in so doing you provide us with your clear signal of intentions that you are ready to receive and I tell you plainly, you are ready to receive. Those who come in contact with these words in any form are ready to receive. Do not consider yourselves standing outside of this classroom wanting to come in, do not see yourselves as unworthy of attending such a class. Allow that this classroom is designed for you. You are the ones that we wait for to show up to class and so we shall begin in earnest our training.
I must make it clear that the goal of this program is not to educate a classroom of transmitter/receivers as you are familiar with that term. True enough this may be your individual desires and as such they will be fostered and promoted and you can rest assured that those of you whose desire this above all shall be successful in your attempts but not everyone is needed to provide this service of liaison between those of us unseen and those of you who are seen. Rather the goal of this curriculum, particularly this curriculum in this hour will be to provide you with the exercises and concepts necessary for you to bridge the gap between what it is to be in partnership with your divine fragment.
You see, there are only a number of transmitter receivers and there are only a number of individual personalities on the other side of the veil and at this time these relationships are cherished by you because they are your avenue to pass between one side of the veil and the other or at least hear from the other side of the veil. But within each one of you glorious students there is a red line straight to The Father. You have direct access and need not another personality to intervene for you to establish this direct connection. We will be focusing on the identification, the terminology, the approaches, the method, the means whereby you may increase your capacity for understanding and your level of awareness.
Through this process you will begin to be infused with the awareness of this circuitry. I encourage you to follow the advice offered earlier of practicing with techniques that are comfortable to you. Practicing allowing that this process can occur, does occur, will occur and providing yourselves the latitude to manifest this aspect of self. I encourage you to provide yourselves this space wherein you may experiment with this process. These experiments need not be for the benefit of others but rather they are to demonstrate to you that this process does in fact occur even to ones such as yourselves.
I will point out that one of the greatest obstacles we face in this exercise is the limitation of self confidence. It is deeply ingrained within your society and culture that you are only human, just human, by all means just simply human and I tell you that you are human but as a human you have a component which is vast and timeless, eternal and divine. that is part of your makeup as human beings. Therefore I encourage you to shift your feet of identity to one of a child of God with a grand destiny, not a mere mortal of the realm who will never rise to the stature of divinity.
You will all rise to the stature of divinity as that is your destiny. You are designed to do exactly that if you would allow this as possibility. You have so long conditioned yourself to believe that this could never happen to one the likes of you or one so human but I tell you this is exactly what will happen to you. If it does not happen in this classroom, then in perhaps the next or the next but this is your destiny and your alignment with your divine fragment is your avenue of approach to your divinity.
Make every attempt to give your fragment greater latitude in your lives. Create the space wherein this fragment may be, may be recognized by you, may be embraced by your concepts, may be allowed by your mind to exist. This represents our greatest challenge, to simply allow that this is real and by choosing this and allowing this to be real, it is real. If you choose not this avenue then it will not be part of your experience. This avenue which is yours awaits your choice, awaits your intention and is entirely passive throughout this process.
But having chosen this avenue, activate it, you charge it, you infuse it and then you may function in partnership with it. There is our lesson plan, that is our goal and we will make this goal to allow, to accept, to empower, to be those beings that we were empowered to be. It does not seem as though it should be so hard but we find that we have been conditioned into our very cellular structure to believe who we are, what we are capable of, what we are not capable of, what we should do, what we could do, these are things we have conditioned ourselves in this life to accept and as such they represent our limitations, our barriers.
Let’s examine these barriers over the next number of weeks. Let’s look at our concept frames. Do they allow us the room, the space to grow beyond what is known to us within them? Do they provide for us room to expand and bring in that which is currently unknown to us? What will it take for us to make these allowances, to create this space, to unfold the beings that we are? Certainly it will require time. These things happen in a linear fashion and we must be patient but also we must be diligent in our pursuits. We must practice, we must try, we must fall short, we must try again. This is how we make advancement, this is how we move forward.
Trial and correction. In this way we will see before our very eyes our progress. We will be able to measure this progress as we gain greater awareness and receive what we are seeking for in this process. It is truly glorious to address a crowd such as this, so eager, so steadfast in your desire to reach beyond your current limitations. It is exactly that desire that we require to move this process forward. Without these intentions these desires brought into this arena we go nowhere, in fact you would not be here but with these intentions and desires we have the force that is required to move us through this process of understanding and gaining awareness.
I applaud all of your efforts that have brought you to this place and I accept from you your intentions to negotiate the journey from here on out. You will receive the assistance that you crave in this process until you have made your own connection and it is not so far off my dear ones. At that point you will not need to hear from myself or any of the others. You will have your own conversations with God and that will be the crowning success of your efforts that have been offered here at this time.
I would contain my remarks to those I have made and solicit any contributions, responses, questions you might have [and] as the students, you are helping to develop the curriculum necessary in this process. By engaging with this curriculum you allow us to interpret the success of our approach and allow us to make those same trials and correction that I referred to you making along the way. Would there be any contributions?
Dialogue
Mark: On the subject of teacher identification, was that teacher identified properly, were those the words of another or the self? Where did that concept come from and who was the messenger? You can’t take anything that you hear on someone else’s word, identification, understanding or concept frame. I agree we must all look for the message, take it in, discern whether it is truth for us, glean from it what is truthful, beautiful and good and make allowance for the fact that there is contained within all of the message, parts of the messengers.
At this time I don’t think we can avoid that in this process nor should we necessarily try to divorce ourselves from this process as we are in fact partnering and as partner we bring our contribution, our aspects to be used. There is the message and there are the messengers and at this time I believe we are intertwined in this delicate partnership. I’ll be the first to admit to being present in this process. My fingerprints are all over this process, my vocabulary is the one we use.
I apologize for the limitations, I accept the responsibility. Please leave me out in your process of discernment but accept the message as it pertains to you.
Q: Question for Monjoronson. [Say on.] As we pursue this interior life connection, our partnership with our residing fragment to where as He said we need no other advice from outside sources, where does Michael fit in to all of this? Thank you.
Monjoronson: You all enjoy a special relationship with your Father and you have a particular circuitry which includes your family, your Divine Parents who have so lovingly created you, watch over you and tend to your every need in fact. This familial relationship is one that you will enjoy for all time. This truly is your universal family and just as with your mortal family there are great ties between you that bind you together as family.
This circuitry that you enjoy, this familiar association that you yearn for with your Creator Parents is altogether its own avenue of approach to your Parents and will remain for you, this tie, that will bind you to this family. The difference between this circuitry, this avenue of approach, is that your indwelling fragment is bestowed from your Father’s Father, your Parent’s Parents. You have this guiding light that will always steer you and if allowed, will direct you on route back to return to the First Source and Center from which it came.
This extends beyond the circuitry that you enjoy with your universe parents, Michael and Mother Spirit. This circuitry is altogether larger and goes beyond your universe parents to your Eternal Center. So it is that you are encircuited in a number of ways. You are also encircuited to your family of humans on this planet. Each level of circuitry that you enjoy is its own avenue of approach, its own journey of discovery and it may very well be true that they overlap but they are in fact distinctly different circuits and you should avail yourselves of all of them.
Think not that there is but one approach, there are a number of approaches available to you and certainly one approach leads you directly to Michael. The more long term approach and goal of partnering with your divine fragment and the journey back home will lead you inevitably beyond this universe, beyond the realm of Michael, back to the First Source and Center and throughout this process back home you still will be a part of the circuitry of the family of Michael. As well you will never divorce yourself of having been a part of the circuitry of the family of humans on Urantia.
All these circuits are part of your ripples in the pond that you transcend, the one to the next to the next but they remain part of your constitution, part of who you are, where you have came from, your base of experience, your set of circumstances.
I will go on to address the other observation made of the classroom. At this point it is necessary to use word symbols. We are not to a state of mind to mind communication that we might be one day. We must use vocabulary and words and having done so we are using limitations. When we use the concept frame of a schoolroom, immediately in your mind’s eye is conjured up an image of something brick and mortar and solid and structured, even confining. Those terms we use in this hour only as stepping stones because having used such descriptive terms they will become outmoded in our understanding.
We must accept that to get to a point of greater understanding we need stepping stones. We need concepts that are familiar to build on with more unfamiliar concepts. So in using this imagery of a classroom it may help you in some regards to identify with the process and the familiarity you have with the school environment, may be comforting to you in establishing a construct of understanding but it is but a transient step on our way because such terms as school and classrooms are in themselves limitations. They are confining, they are incomplete.
When we seek to express things we may be forced to adopt new terminology more suited to our descriptions but in the meantime we will use these images as signposts, as guides pointing us in the right direction of understanding giving us a scaffolding on which we may build a higher understanding but this is never meant to be rigid, never meant to be the brick and mortar that your minds may envision containing what we are doing. In fact we are going to be about the very opposite of that. We are going to attempt in these classrooms to dismantle the very idea of what a classroom is. What we thought was a classroom may in fact turn into an arena, may turn into a platform of understanding. Either way, all of these terms will fall short of their purpose of being descriptive at some point. So be it.
We will move forward and build upon those terms that we have to create greater understanding and as we increase our ability to expand these concepts, then we may find that we discard the old descriptive terms and try again but we are confined to the language and word symbols that we find ourselves with in these times. That is where stillness may bridge the gap. What the mind can only understand in the context of its symbols, the soul can surpass with its union with divinity. Where we reach our limitations of understanding we may go beyond that with our communion with spirit. These will be our tools to reach outside this school, this classroom, these parameters of understanding.
Q: When listening to the teachers I would try to keep me out of it however when talking with my adjuster he tells me we are one, we work together. It no longer is the wish to get me out of the [process] as it is for me to grow with my adjuster.
Mark: Yes the two processes differ in that regard. When the T/R really wants to hear what the teacher has to say, [then] it’s true you must use the vocabulary and the concepts of understanding to express. In that regard you are present to some degree but you try to stay out of the way but with the voice, you can’t. When partnering with the “voice” presence we accept our role as partners in this process. There is no voice without us.
In the beginning it is a little frightening that we are part of this process.
Q: I think that’s what kept me away from this for so long as I didn’t think I was worthy of partnership with my adjuster. I thought this would happen way down the road when I was a more advanced personality but not right now.
Mark: It is a little scary, this partnership, but that’s what we are designed to do. What will it take for us to concede, to allow what we are in this process. That is the one phrase it took to wake me up. “What will it take for you to accept our divinity”. Those were the words I heard from my “voice” which shook me to my core, but taught me, why not.
Q: We think this partnership begins when we fuse but it is here and now.
Mark: This has happened, will happened, is happening and we need not wait for anything. I don’t know if this is a shift in the times we are in or is this just our awareness or perhaps both. The time is now, we can do this if we just will.
Q: I might add it is Father’s will for us.
Q: Thank you. Monjoronson told us there would be a new partnership, human and divine and I found it confusing. I have been hearing from my thought adjuster for some time now and could not share it because the flowery loving language embarrassed me.
Mark: Things like doubt, embarrassment, or wonder are our limitations, stumbling blocks. We will not allow ourselves to go beyond that point. We will put it away, we will stop. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Our limitations are ones we have placed there, and if we placed them there then by God we can remove them. Thank you for your sharing.
This represents a miracle in play, right now, this moment, this action between us, among us, through us, with us is a miracle. These intentions that we put into motion brings about through the universe this channeling of love and energy and this miracle is one of our creation. I thank you all for being a part of this, for bringing your intention, for bringing your will, for making this miracle happen, this dream come true for making this space. It certainly is smiled upon by all those on the other side of the veil who accept any motion that we make to offer them the space to infuse us with spirit content.
Closing
Once again, thank you all for creating this reality in this moment. It is beautiful.
