2021-01-18. Can We Command Celestial Beings?
Recently I reread a couple of notes I had taken from reading a couple of scrippets of messages from Machiventa Melchizedek. Of all the ones I had read over the years, these struck me enough that I thought I had better save them.
Then, recently, my co-facilitator Raymon and I began a new study group that delves into the work coming out of the Correcting Time. When it was my turn to lead the group (it is only five folks at this point), I sat in meditation and asked myself what subject do I want to undertake this week. Somehow the word “command” came to my mind. That was it.
I started gathering what I could from earlier transmissions from Machiventa and discovered parts of four transmissions that discussed commands, or will-commands, that were so rich in content that I wondered why this subject is not discussed, much less tried, more often.
I wanted to get the highlights into an essay, as well as the links to the documents, so that others could start to think about what it means to us lowly folks on Urantia.
Curiously, even a very early “New Thought” writer, Emma Curtis Hopkins in her book High Mysticism, made this statement: “Meek and Commanding, looking always to God.” And the story, at least this story, begins as Machiventa tells us that Hopkins’ book was a way in for him to discuss with Machiventa this concept of commanding spiritual entities.
But the command is not really ours to make, is it? We, personally, do not have the authority to do such. So here is a hint at what is really going on:
“It is by the authority of Christ Michael that I am able to make this command, just as the General-in-Chief would command by the authority of the King of Kings.”
Or this one:
“I am able to make this command because of the authority that Christ Michael has invested in me. And I do this to please Christ Michael. Done this way, there is no selfish motive in this command while maintaining my meekness and always looking up to Christ Michael, the source of this privilege to command.”
Get the idea? Commands we as humans made are only effective because we are co-creatively working with our Thought Adjusters, our Father in heaven, who is the supreme authority of all, to make such a command.
“The highest co-creative act is to command using the authority given by Christ Michael to do so.” [Source: Machiventa Melchizedek, Feb. 16, 2018.]
While this all sound wonderful, it is not all that easy to do.
“Any command that you make upon the spiritual resources of Christ Michael and Nebadonia must be fully in agreement with the 7 values of social sustainability 1, those same values which the Creator, Christ Michael through the Life Carriers, has invested in your DNA.” 2
There are certain criteria that such a command must meet. The criteria are:
“The first criteria is that it must not be ego based; it must not seek to aggrandize you; it must not be something that you benefit from specifically, or even locally, but that you benefit generally as others would benefit as well from the will-command that you make.
“Second, it must not be made out of fear. It must not be made to protect you from something that is external to yourself. It must not be something that protects you from others. It must be something that is free of fear because fear is the corrosive of hope, of belief, of faith, and trust and knowing. In the end, you want to be at the level of knowing to know that you are making the right and correct will-commands.
“This third criterion looks to the general position Christ Michael would take concerning the topic of your will-command. Is this topic and your will-command something that Christ Michael would want to have occur in the world and contribute to the Correcting Time? Would it assist you on your personal ascendant journey, and also would assist others on their own ascendant journey?” 3
A will-command is a moral command; “it is proactive in nature; it does not violate any of these [seven] values. It, through the value equality, takes into account the empathy of the individual who is making the will-command. It sees the will-command as an act of compassion so that it fulfills something that others cannot do themselves and co-creatively with spirit who is the co-creative partner in the will-command to fulfill it. This through the love of humanity, as one loves themselves, is a fulfillment of Christ Michael’s presence in that will-command and those decisions and the use of those values. The 7 core values are inseparable, and the morality of those values is inseparable from the will-command.” 4
How does one know if one is in alignment and full agreement with those seven values? I am not sure. But if you are not in alignment, then the will-command is null and void. Nothing will happen that you were commanding to happen. “There is a protection for you and for us [the celestials], that for those individuals who wittingly or unwittingly make a command that is in violation of these 7 values, or the welfare of another individual or yourself, their command will be absented/cancelled….” 2
And in that statement was another criteria: no command must be that would cause harm to another person, self included.
Why would we want to do this? The primary reason is that we humans of this world are in charge of what happens to this world. While we are guided by Providence in the long run, it is through our own thoughts, words, and deeds that things get done, civilization advances, and we move toward the world and time of Light and Life. Yes, we are guided by our Thought Adjusters, seraphic guardians, the Spirit of Truth, and the Power of the Holy Spirit, our Universe Mother circuit, and others including our Adjutant Mind Spirits. And our celestial brethren are here to guide us as well.
So it is up to us. We are the hands and feet of God. But we have to have the intention to take on this work, we have to pay attention to what we are hearing, feeling. And we have to see what this work entails.
You may ask why do we need to make commands? Don’t the celestials already know what they have to do? The problem with that thinking is that many celestials are not commanders of actions. They are the doers of actions commanded by others. Angels, for example, are standing by ready to act. Recall Jesus telling Peter he had twelve legions of angels at this command? “… [D]o you not further know that I could even now command more than twelve legions of angels and their associates, who would deliver me from the hands of these few men?” (UB 183:3.7)
Machiventa tells us that “… celestial beings do not command, they do not will things; they are receptive to guidance, they are receptive to outlines and to missions and to accomplishment of work. It is upon the shoulders of Christ Michael and “his delegated sons” to make commands upon the spiritual resources for the accomplishment of what needs to be done to bring Nebadon into the Days of Light and Life.” 2
More on what this effort requires:
“… it requires you as individuals to be socially and spiritually mature and responsible. It requires of you to be self-disciplined to take your power to command as seriously as you can, that you are co-responsible with us for the accomplishment of the healing and the transformation of your world.”
What do we need to do to be commanders? Again, Machiventa tells us: “It is important that you formulate your will-command in your mind, perhaps even write it down, test it against the 7 values and then when you have made your command rightly, then you state it out loud.” Then listen for the answer as to whether it is ready for transmission upward and outward. But if you are one of those many that do not hear “… in your mind, you will intuitively know whether this is a ‘go or no go.’” If it is a go, “… then you with the authority that is invested in you by Christ Michael to make this command, state in your command, ‘I command you with the authority of Christ Michael and me to make these demands upon you to fulfill.’”
More specifically, I suggest that you write out the command and think about it, as suggested. You can even “… [a]sk for guidance in writing about it. Just because you are the mortal and there are those who you will make a command upon does not mean that they cannot assist you in writing that command. … Writing your command is important to us, as it is to you that it becomes effective.”
A word of caution from Machiventa is to not start big. At first, keep your commands in the realm of smaller activities, not––as an example––commanding for world peace.
Commanding is not the same as asking, seeking, or knocking. It is more powerful.
We are then becoming co-responsible with the celestials “… for the fulfillment of these commands. You do this to please Christ Michael, for in doing this you become co-creators with Christ Michael in the transformation of your world. As we have said, this is no small project and requires no small part of your responsibility, your self-discipline and your willingness and willfulness to accomplish this good for us, with us and for your civilization, and particularly all future generations of Urantia.“
How do we know if our command works? Machiventa tells us that “… will see developments either immediately around you, or collaterally through the Internet, or through discussion and listening to others in your community, or through some other means that you have contact with the larger elements of society.”
So let’s start practicing the making of commands.
“When you do so, you are in fact, becoming a co-partner with Christ Michael, standing at that level of command and execution where you are partner with him, with his authority. This is a tremendous leap. This is something that your life plan would include.” 3
“To recap these criteria: effective will-commands are not ego based; are not fear based; do not cause harm to anyone else or yourself, but are in alignment with Christ Michael’s Will to bring about the Days of Light and Life. And this my friends is part of your life plan that Christ Michael supports, and now has empowered you to fulfill.” 3
Machiventa tells us to be bold, “meek and commanding, looking always to God.” What is to stop us? Only ourselves. We can but try, and we will succeed, whether we know it or not.
