*	Elyon	(Mark TR:)  I bring you warm 
greetings to this my special group of 
friends.  I applaud your efforts each and 
every one to your spiritual careers and to 
this process which involves our engaging 
together and watering the fruits of your 
spirit that they may burst forth out into 
the world and sweeten the reality that you 
are engaged in.
	It has been said and it is true that 
perhaps the most accurate and greatest 
prayer an individual can make is not for any 
specifics but rather for an increased 
capacity wherein spirit may reside within 
you, within your zone of jurisdiction.  The 
more you petition for this increased 
capacity the greater your available space, 
and I speak of your true interior space, 
yourselves, devoted to spirit.  The more 
capacity one has, the larger percentage of 
their being is devoted to housing and 
accommodating spirit.  As you know, spirit 
fills any willing vessel, and each one of 
you in your spiritual career learns to turn 
over more and more of your vessel to be 
filled with the spirit and in doing so 
become more spiritized and less material 
until there is a giving over of the material 
altogether and becoming an endless vessel 
for the incorporation of this love spirit.
	Right now your capacities are dictated 
by your environments and experiences and 
your desires.  All these act upon your 
ability to develop capacity for spirit 
indwelling.  As you proceed forward you are 
aware that more and more spirit fills the 
vessel, and less is restricted or contained 
by the material.  These are principles that 
you have heard and are aware of, but you 
know not in this life except through your 
act of faith which enables you to accept 
this eventuality as fact and act 
accordingly.  While this is not your current 
reality, the knowledge that it is your 
future reality dictates how you react to 
your current environment.
	You who are graced with an increased 
perspective, enhanced spirit capacity, are 
wont to be eager about getting on with the 
spiritual progression, even to the point of 
overcoming the fear of your transitions 
along the route.  Those with limited 
spiritual capacity are more inclined to put 
their faith in the material that can be 
touched, smelled, tasted, and otherwise 
experienced.  The more your petition for 
increased spiritual capacity is granted you 
the less important this level of reality 
becomes to you, and the more willing you are 
to engage in faith based practices because 
of a long term sense of stability and 
security gained through your personal 
insights; again a result of your spiritual 
capacity.
	I applaud each of your for making room 
in your internal self, for providing the 
vessel wherein spirit can fill.  It is an 
active pursuit that you do in this life to 
clear a space in your garage, as it were, of 
your being to house spirit, eventually 
giving over more and more of your internal 
domain to a higher reality and reaping the 
rewards attendant upon such a faith based 
activity.
	Your lives truly are rich in the reality 
which sustains and exists long after you 
have left everything.  Your attitudes of 
acceptance can even turn to joy, as we have 
witnessed with our sharing today in the 
transition mobilizing the individual to a 
new enhanced level being a positive 
experience for the individual and one to be 
welcomed, albeit not necessarily pursued.  
You have learned well that there is much to 
do while you are in this form, while still 
living true to more eternal value beyond 
your present condition.  We are indeed lucky 
to enjoy this perspective at this point in 
our ascension career where we may actually 
engage the game and play this game with an 
increased sense of enthusiasm, expectancy, 
and even joy in the unfolding of this long 
term process before us.  I enjoy this game 
we play together, and we play individually 
among our spheres of influence and look 
forward to the many layers upon layers of 
reality levels to be introduced and embraced 
along this glorious path before us.
	I withdraw to allow for others but 
remain in attendance.  Thank you.  This is 
Elyon.

*	Malvantra (Jonathan):  Greetings to you, 
this is Malvantra.  It is good again to be 
in your midst to attend this one of my 
several collections of students.  I have 
spent many years with you and have enjoyed 
the progress that has taken place over this 
time.  It is rewarding to observe your 
continued enthusiasm as well as your 
persistence.  My other troupe that I attend 
regularly likewise has applied themselves 
with keen interest and have observed well 
the lessons and applied their meanings.  I 
am going to speak a bit about growth, as it 
is a fitting topic to follow my opening 
comments.
	When you initialized your spiritual 
career, whether you did so at a time notable 
to you consciously or, alternatively, subtly 
transformed from one who sought not to one 
who seeks diligently; you soon noticed your 
growth.  You noticed the acquirement of new 
perspectives, of shifted values and 
meaningful contact with the spirit, 
something seemed to be added or being added 
to your life and to who you are.  Much like 
a tree that bears fruit you received as a 
flower and began to develop your fruit.  You 
became greater than you were, more valuable 
in the eyes of others for what you bore in 
the demonstration of your life, of your 
happiness and your peace.  It is this 
accumulation that feeds the aspiring soul.  
Your enlargement as a spiritual being 
demonstrates to you that your efforts have 
results and are real and not merely a 
fantasy of your mind.
	Then there comes the time in the 
development of the fruit wherein size is 
attained and ripening begins.  It is a level 
of maturity in regard to your spiritual 
advancement.  Each level in your ascension 
career will undertake this same pattern of 
receiving growth and ripening.  Much of the 
excitement of discovery that occurred during 
your enlargement appears to disappear, for 
that long phase of ripening seems to bring 
no noticeable change, at least to the 
observer.  You who monitor your inner 
climate perceive the transformation that is 
subtle, that is below the skin, the 
maturation that brings about your morontia 
reality and identity.  This is the ascending 
actions of a human being.
	There is another element that I wish to 
bring into this perspective, and to do so I 
will shift my imagery to what may be a 
little too soon for those who live in your 
northern climates, and that is snow.
	You know that when you receive this 
moisture as it blankets the ground and is 
fresh, it is beautiful.  It sparkles.  It is 
brilliant.  This is in the eyes of God the 
same set of feelings for every creature that 
comes into existence.  You each are as 
beautiful, as brilliant, as sparkling.  Then 
the tribulations of life come upon you much 
as the warmth of the sun.  Some are unable 
to grapple with those tribulations and 
experience a meltdown, but others maintain 
or attain their spiritual connection, and 
rather than melting they sublimate.  Like 
the imagery of fruit that appears to enlarge 
daily and even hourly and then appears to 
stand still as it ripens, so subtly does 
this snow disappear.
	While you are this day acquiring your 
spiritual counterparts to your mortal life, 
accumulating much that represents the 
divine, you are also transforming into a new 
creature, a creature not meant for this 
level of existence, a morontia being.  You 
are sublimating, going from the ephemeral to 
the ethereal, transferring the seat of your 
identity from creature to the bestowed 
Creator Fragment that dwells within you.  
This is applicable to that succinct phrase 
of your master who said that he who gives of 
himself receives eternal life.  He also said 
as he departed from this world that into the 
hands of his Father he commends his spirit.  
To the many looking upon his death it could 
be asserted that his life was in a meltdown, 
but within his being he was sublimating, 
giving over to the Divine Presence, assuming 
the beneficial grace and the personal care 
of his Father.  Many had taunted him; they 
had heard his sermons, and now they 
perceived one weakened and unable to defend 
himself.  This was merely the material 
observation, for within his soul he had 
ripened.  He was ready to fall from the tree 
of earthly life and to be born anew in his 
career as Sovereign Son.
	I conclude by encouraging you to remind 
yourselves at times when you are tempted to 
consider yourself stagnant.  Encourage 
yourselves with the understanding that to 
ripen is to transfer yourself from the 
growth activities of a materially bound 
spiritual being to the morontia level of 
creature ascendancy.
	Thank you for hearing me today.  Elyon 
remains here as do I.  If you have questions 
if we cannot pass them on to others we will 
answer.

	Jada:  I was seeing the apple ripening, 
and I realize that it’s the seed inside 
ripening like the soul that continues on.

*	Malvantra:  Indeed, you are quite 
observant.  Likewise the fleshy matter that 
surrounds that seed, though it is deemed to 
be nourishment for that seed, when it 
sprouts is in large part food for others.  
As you cultivate your soul you provide 
nourishment spiritually to many engaged in 
your daily activities.

	Mark:  I appreciate the years we have 
spent together.  We cherish you as 
instructors and have developed devotion and 
affection for you and the others.
	You mentioned your other group.  Since 
your other group’s experience and ours have 
become the property of human wisdom and 
knowledge through the overall circuit, is 
there a way to connect with them through 
that circuit?

*	Malvantra:  Indeed there is.  You have 
at times unbeknownst to you engaged in that 
connection.  My contact with this other 
group is received well, and one individual 
in particular has studiously received 
lessons about this very subject of 
circuitry.  So they are well prepared to be 
engaged in such connectivity.

	Mark:  Is it the property of the 
circuits that we may know the location of 
this group?

*	Malvantra:  This group is known to this 
TR, and they reside in Cincinnati.  They are 
part of your Teaching Mission collectivity.  
I have been with you for nearly all of these 
ten years.  I am their primary instructor 
and have enjoyed witnessing each of your 
groups’ endeavors to understand the mission, 
the mechanics involved, and your position in 
this program of planetary upliftment.

	Mark:  Do the different groups build 
upon each other in that observation and 
understanding which are arrived at become 
the property of human knowledge and concept 
frames become enlarged by that means?

*	Malvantra:  Some of what one group 
undertakes does have impact upon another, 
and it is done so in various ways.  Obvious 
to you perhaps I would mention first is the 
exchange of your written transcripts such 
that you may observe and remotely partake in 
each other’s contact with beings like myself 
and the many teachers engaged in this 
Correcting Time.  However there is also the 
effect that you each have upon your morontia 
teachers.  I am not the only one who 
travels, and your teacher Elyon and others 
including your personal teachers benefit 
greatly from contacting your fellows, for 
herein is gained the experience of what 
works and what doesn’t.  If a teacher finds 
within a group difficulty in presenting some 
element of spiritual truth, having it lodge 
and become active in your life, they will 
attempt to present the same truth to others.  
When they discover reception and application 
they begin reflecting upon how that was 
accomplished and reversely adapting it to 
those where they met with momentary failure.  
So you bring into your group greater 
receptive potential because your teacher has 
acquired a refinement of the skill of 
presentation.  Therefore you can connect 
directly to one another through your mortal 
means, and you connect indirectly by way of 
our triangular involvement with both of you.

	Mark:  I want you all to know the peace 
and joy I look forward to after my 
transition.  I see us as a team which goes 
on past this level.  I picture rolling up my 
sleeves and finding you all on the other 
side of the curtain and reassembling to work 
together.  That provides me with great 
comfort.  Thank you all for that.

*	Malvantra:  Believe you deeply that your 
dedication and devotion is marked well, and 
you are on the list of engagement, and you 
are well underway in the training and 
preparation.  One day you will experience 
the inverse perspective of the difficulty of 
making contact.

	Mark:  But I don’t want to be pitching 
at three, not today anyway!

*	Malvantra:  No, this would not be 
allowed, for there is much work to be done 
in the warm-up pen to prepare those others 
to enter the playing field and to become 
engaged in this divine game of spiritual 
upliftment on Urantia.

*	Nebadonia (Mark):  This is Nebadonia.  I 
desire to make known my presence to you, to 
bring you my spiritual embrace, and to 
surround you with my affection.  As the 
parent feels for the child the desire to 
wrap loving arms around you, so I feel for 
each of you to wrap my loving self around 
you.  You are safe with me, with us, as we 
march forward together.  I simply desire to 
have this contact with you, to share this 
moment with you, to share even a spiritual 
kiss.  My love to you all.
