[tmtranscripts] TRAVELING WITH LANTARNEK Aug.14, 1999

[Rick P. Giles]

(Second in series of six)

August 14, 1999 at Cache Creek, B.C.

*	Lantarnek  (T/R Jonathan):   I greet you again this evening, my fellows.
This is Lantarnek.  I
will reveal to you that I am assigned to be in your presence throughout this
journey of yours, to assist you
in any way that I may as you desire to receive me.
	It is the purpose of the Father to bring all his children into greater
understanding of the
significance of personal ascension and broadened understanding.  Therefore
we come to you to be off
assistance.
	I will speak on the topic of integration.  I have observed in your
conversations that you have
made progress in integrating the multi-dimensional aspects of your being
into a whole.  Integration is a
supreme process.  The future if mankind depends upon the elimination of
divisions that are in contention. 
To clarify my statement, I mean that no longer is it appropriate to view
your physical, biological, and
environmental status and being as in war or conflict with your spiritual,
ethereal, and super-conscious
being.
	The entire makeup of the human personality is a spectrum much like your
rainbow, where you
are in higher frequency at the upper spectrums, and a lower frequency at
your lower spectrums; however,
these are not to be considered greater or lesser, rather they are a gradual
continuum.  Note that purple
does blend into blue and so forth throughout the array of color.  Likewise
do you, from the Thought
Adjuster’s presence, throughout your three levels of mental states, into
your biological functions, behave
as does a rainbow, in harmony, in continuity.
	When the Master laid his hands upon one who was infirm, the hand was not
the healing power,
but the hand was an integral part of that revelation of that healing.  It
was the connection body to body
that allowed a circle, a continuous loop of energy to flow from the Father,
through Michael, to his bodily
form, into the vehicle of his child/friend, and therefore received into the
mind and soul of this personality. 
Through faith they completed the connection and received from the Father
through their inner spirit and
healing took place.
	You are aware that your environment is a cyclical pattern of ecological
events, each relying on a
process that incorporates a greater whole.  This is true physically,
planetarily, and it is equally true
mentally and spiritually.  There is no being who stands alone and self
contained, self-accomplished.  Each
individual is integrated into a larger framework of function.
	When you find yourself in a position where you are ministering to another
individual, profoundly
or simply, realize that it is a complex structure of events and choices by
many individuals that has brought
that particular interface into being.  Take note that you are assisted with
many capable beings, and also
realize that your fellows have been directed likewise.  Understanding this
complexion of processes should
forever dispel any sense of individual glory in accomplishment, that
so-called “I have saved the soul of
another”, for you realize that you are simply a part of a greater process of
ministry.  To become involved
in spiritual ministry means that you understand that you are one part of a
grand process.  This is that
integral quality I am focusing on this evening.
	It is always beneficial, when reaching the limits of your experiential
capabilities, to transfer your
responsibilities of ministry to another who may be better qualified to take
up the task and proceed further
along in uplifting another who is in need.  It is not that you have failed
or reached a shortcoming.  Yes, a
shortcoming is good to realize for you will then focus upon this
[shortcoming] and strengthen yourself
through growth.  But to transfer your ministry into the hands of another for
continual bestowals of
kindness and service is itself an extremely valuable method for helping your
fellows.
	Note that we are all a grand family; each of us is dedicated toward
uplifting one another.  The
simple smile, the simple handshake, the compliment, and even the simple
reprimand, will help one
another to quicken their progress through either inspiration or correction.
As a recipient of ministry in
this nature, I encourage each of you to be willing to receive these
corrective and inspirational inputs from
your fellows, to not react hesitantly or guardedly to them but rather to
file them in a temporary holding
area such that you may process the value of the input and then release it
into your being as you deem it
appropriate.
	Do not discard the input of your fellows, for these inputs are valuable in
your gaining a broader
perspective of yourself than you individually may be able to attain for
yourself.  Yes, there may be times
when these perspectives are irrelevant or erroneous, however, there may be
valuable indicators in these
feedbacks.  You need not necessarily incorporate any one instantaneously.
You may hold them in your
reserves for several years before they become relevant.  You will then be
thankful for those comments so
long ago delivered to you.  If you had discarded them at the moment of their
delivery you would not have
benefited in the course of time that transpired since.
	It is your turn to interject into this meeting your feelings and your
thoughts.  I welcome them.
	Jada:  Along that same line of holding an inspiration in a place where we
can consider it, then is
it the Spirit of Truth that will help us sift through these and determine
what is useful?
*	Lantarnek:  Yes.  This is quite correct.  You may recognize the truth
value of the comment but
realize that you are not quite ready.  However, because you have seen the
truth, you know that in due time
it will be appropriate and that you’ll need to make some adjustments and
allow that truth to become an
active reality.  You can trust this spirit indicator to reveal to you its
appropriateness whether it is now or
in the future.
	This same spirit will likewise indicate to you whether or not you are
receiving a comment that is
passé, that you have already attained the suggested growth, but you have
momentarily displayed behavior
that seems to be in need of that comment because you have only let your
guard down, your standard slip,
or in a more accepting way, you have been in reversion.  You have let
yourself recreate and someone has
come along and said, “You ought to...”  The Spirit of Truth will be your
sounding board, your eternal
verifier of the value of what is presented to you.
	Jada:  Thanks for that.  I’m trying to find out more about the Spirit of Truth.
*	Lantarnek:  Michael is always embracing every one of his children through
this truth-spirit
presence.  I encourage each of you to always place great value in his
verifying spirit.
	Within the human being is an intuitive faculty which has the ability to
step through rapidly all
the logical quandaries of reasoning and perceive what is appropriate and
valuable instantly.  However,
there is always an element of doubt, for this process occurs so rapidly that
the mind ends up uncertain as
to whether or not the perceptions are accurate and based in reality.  With
this Spirit of Truth, so recently
bestowed upon this world, you can be assured that your perceptions are on
target.
	The best method for attaining this assurance is to step within, to look to
our Michael, and seek
his assurance.  You will then doubly compound the effect of his spirit
presence around you by bringing in,
not only his Spirit of Truth, but his personality that is Michael.
	Jael:  I want to thank you, Lantarnek, for being with us.  Sometimes I
don’t know what questions
to ask.  I want to remember to step up to my highest, and I know that’s
where I can be the best service. 
I’ll take any nudges along the way.  Thanks.
*	Lantarnek:  I must compliment all of you for reaching to your highest
abilities, and I do realize
that you all recognize your shortcomings.  Your shortcomings are a small
aspect of your entire being. 
Each of you is excelling quite well based on our perspectives.  We say this
because we know that you can,
through these comments, propel yourselves even higher, rather than for us to
place upon you extreme
correctives that, yes, they would provide you with information that would
help you grow, but they may
also likewise burden you with a sense that you are falling short.  You do
each strive continually to make
higher levels of [stature?].
	To hear you express as you have is quite agreeable to us.  I do trust that
you will always be
looking for new avenues to bring the spirit experience that you have each
encountered into your external
world such that others may begin to sense this reality.  You may not have
the opportunity to describe to
them what this reality is, but they will taste it and, in due time even if
it is not in this life,  they will come
to understand the significance of that experience.
	I am here to be with you throughout your journey, and I am more than happy
to be expressive
through this T/R or anyone of you at any time.  If you are content this
evening I would withdraw, but I am
equally happy to receive your comments as well.
	Jada:  You talked about integration.  It seems like there are two ways to
think about it.  You can
be integrated body, mind, spirit within ourselves.  Spirit connects you with
everything, so we are
integrated through spirit.  I see integration in another sense where we’re
part of a big family.  We are all
part of an integral unit that way.  I guess the connecting point is the
spirit within.
*	Lantarnek:  Yes, and you have drawn me back to repeat a point I made
regarding trusting that
what you provide in ministry may be taken up another in continual ministry
for a particular other. 
Because you are part of a larger family you may begin an unfoldment of
realization with an individual in
need of receiving spiritual truths, and you may feel that the process is
incomplete, for you have not
witnessed the fulfillment of these teachings as they become enacted in
another.  However, there are many,
many of your fellows around you who are contributing to this understanding,
this enlightenment, this
transforming experience.
	So, each of us does what we can.  Even we melchizedeks provide you with
lessons, messages,
inspirations, but we know fully that you may not take to heart every word
expressed.  But in the weeks and
months that follow you incorporate other dimensions into the perspective and
enlarge your viewpoint and
grow therefrom.  And this makes us quite happy.  You are in a large team of
ministers.
	Jada:  I can’t help but think about the guy we met today who seemed to hate
Indians.  I felt like I
gave him a little “kick”.  Obviously I couldn’t do a whole lot for him.
Somebody else on the team will
take it from there.
*	Lantarnek:  Correct.  You chipped away at a blockage in himself.  Another
will at another time. 
This blockage may be quite extensive.  Trust that even should he pass beyond
the Urantia experience he
will continually receive feedback like yours for several worlds to come
until he understands the beauty of
acceptance, the goodness of diversity, and the truth of family.
	You may only have but a few seconds to make your comments.  If you do it in
kindness and you
do it with love, you are helping the spiritual ministers all about you to
help this individual rise from the
separation and prejudices that exist yet on this world.
	Jada:  Like the water wearing down the rocks.
*	Lantarnek:  Well said.
	Evelyn:  If it gives you any greater latitude to work with us by our
verbalizing our invitation to
you to shake us by the collar, whisper in our ears, I would invite that.  I
would like to be more receptive to
your suggestions.  Sometimes it takes a little kick to get through.
*	Lantarnek:  I will offer to you one simple guideline.  That is, when you
encounter a hesitancy to
develop (and this will not come simply in one event but over the course of
several events) the ability to
discern whether or not your hesitancy is because the time is not right or
you are in some level of fear
reluctant; and to note that difficult expressions, awkward expressions, may
simply be because the time is
right to confront.  But I do overlay on this comment the importance of
discerning the degree to which you
are lovingly concerned in contrast to when you are personally feeling
antagonistic or affronted.  This will
over time become, I use the word, instinctual.  It is a developed, practical
skill.
	It is okay to make these mistakes step by step, for it is in this practice
that you will become better
able to minister in this manner.  So, do not hesitate because you feel
unskilled.  Practice.  There are many
angels and teachers and this Spirit of Truth and the Father’s presence, all
around, who can make
adjustments should you make some minor mistakes.
	This, once again, is the integral quality of our family.
	Jael:  That helps me to not be so hesitant when stepping into a new sphere.
I just want to help.
*	Lantarnek:  Each teacher who has volunteered for the assignment of this
correcting mission feels
like you do.
	I leave you now in peace.  I love you all, and I look forward to our next
encounter.
