Spiritual Light
 

We welcome you to this forum, and we want to begin this session with some
questions concerning the spiritual light.
      
Preamble:  Our Sovereign Son said when on earth, ³Let your light shine
before man.²  I have always thought of Jesus¹ statement in a figurative way.
      
Question #1:  However, will this statement take on a more literal meaning
one day?

Monjoronson (Jonathan TR):  Greetings to you.  I am more than happy to
address this question.
The master said,²Let your light so shine², and in that statement was his
recognition of the reality of that light.  The statement does not in any way
indicate an impending arrival of light but that the light is present.  The
key meaning or import of his phrase is found in the word ³let².  It
addresses your willingness to allow the light to be perceived, to be
experienced in the witness of another, for you are indwelt by the very
presence of the universal light that is God.  In permitting this light to be
perceived you are allowing another to recognize, though perhaps dimly, the
light present within themselves.  This recognition will be a sense of
familiarity rather than a sense of new revelation.
      
That brings me to my other point in the phrase, and that is the word ³so².
Since it is true that you and another have the light and that the awakening
of another to the light you let shine is a remembering, a though faint but
familiar sense of what one already has, your so shining is to provide the
degree, the intensity, of luminosity that encourages that reawakening.
      
May I for illustration change to another image?  Picture a feather floating
in the air.  As you wave your hand around and past it, your air currents can
draw it along.  With practice and skill you can navigate that feather some
distance.  But if you were to turn on a fan, yes, you would cause it to
move, but you would immediately blow it out of your influence, and it would
fall rapidly to the ground.  That is the ³so shining² of your light, to
bring enough into perceptivity that another is drawn into that light and the
simultaneous recognition of the light within them.  This is literal.  What
light is recognized within oneself is a true, real experience.  It is a
degree of attainment.
      
The intensity of the light of God is more than the human mind can comprehend
at various stages of soul unfoldment.  So, what lies beyond your present
ability to experience the light appears figurative.  That may perhaps be the
word to describe the potential of your attainment of your receptivity to the
divine light.
      
Remember: the expression of spiritual light is to assist another in
acknowledging and experiencing the spirit within.  It is not for the
recognition of your own status, your own attainment. That is not letting
your light so shine; that is letting you shine.
      
I hope this speaks to your question, and I thank you for your inquiry.

Question #2:  Human spiritual advancement, does it bring greater light to
bear on the world?  Or does this advancement only influence the individual?
I don¹t know if he means does one individual¹s advancement bring greater
light to the world or does human advancement in the aggregate bring more
light to bear on the world. That¹s the concept of light bearing down as
opposed to the light being generated from within.  Does that bring spiritual
pressure to the world?

Monjoronson:  Thank you for presenting the question and for your expression
of what it meant to you.  From my last answer you have rightly discerned
that the light comes from within, but this auxiliary question speaks to, not
the presence of the Father¹s light, but to the presence of the light of the
spiritual ministers that assist this world.  So, as an individual develops
the ability to be more of the light which is within, to live more fully as
an illuminated spirit being, it contributes to the state of advancement of
all mankind.  As more individuals do this then it opens up new programs and
applications that the higher beings can use to assist the advancement of
civilization, the progress of humanity toward Light and Life.  So more light
will come to bear.  It has done so in the form of epochal dispensations and
concurrent revelations, and it does so within the dispensations, though
these are more degrees of intensifying light within that given period.
      
In this case, letting your light so shine is more in pattern to the phrase,
³Ask and you shall receive², for more light will be borne upon the world by
the celestial overseers as you awaken more deeply to the light within you.
It also speaks to that phrase,²To those who have, more shall be given.²
Thank you for the question.

Spiritual Growth
 
Question #3:  The next topic concerns spiritual growth.  What ways are the
most effective to cultivate our spiritual growth?

Monjoronson:  The ways to cultivate spiritual growth can be expressed in the
general form for the many ears and eyes who come to perceive my answer.
They are truth, beauty, and goodness.  If you diligently pursue that which
is true, uphold that which is good, and appreciate and foster that which is
beautiful, you are enhancing your growth.
      
Another broad and general method is to practice the presence of God which is
letting your light so shine, for the practice is the ³letting so².  Of
course the master said, ³Love God with your whole being and love others as
yourself².
      
After these general guidelines every individual must seek within themselves
specific methods which will both enhance the perception and reception of
truth, beauty, and goodness, God¹s presence and love, and the degree to
which you can express that through your being.  That will take on concrete
form such as meditation, the involvement in a social or spiritual, religious
organization, with the pursuit of greater knowledge, perhaps research and
assimilation and redistribution in the form of literature.  These are up to
the individual and their partnership with God and the talents and gifts that
have been graced upon an individual.

Part of spiritual growth -- for that matter a great degree of your spiritual
growth -- is your own imaginative creativity, for it is not growth to merely
conform to an expectation of yourself that you sense that God holds of you.
You may project ideals of higher attainment, of mastery, of divine likeness.
And you may sense a drawing by God through his spiritual gravities towards
attaining those ideals, but along with that often comes the sense of
inadequacy and even failure and a loss of energy, a drain upon your
aspirations.
      
Far better for you to realize the desire that your divine Parent has for you
to discover and even create situations, conditions, attitudes, perspectives,
which enhance your own personal growth, finely tuned to the patterns of your
personality.  You can be creative and make a collage of all these spiritual
practices that have been recorded throughout history that work in your own
specific situation.  You may even discover a valuable means of divine
connection never before expressed by anyone.
      
So, I summarize by saying there are general patterns and conditions which
you may pursue or dwell within that will enhance your growth.  But I
encourage you to be the one to develop the specific process or a specific
curriculum you may undertake to reach those higher levels.  Thank you.

The Planetary Supreme

Question #4:  The next topic concerns the planetary Supreme. This individual
states that they have been learning about the planetary Supreme.  Just as
God the Supreme is the oversoul of creation, is the planetary Supreme the
oversoul of each particular planet in her realm?

Monjoronson:  You are correct in stating that the Supreme is the oversoul of
creation. It is good to note that human consciousness seeks wholeness on the
level of the planet in the perception of an oversoul of the planet.  But the
nature of the Supreme is wholeness, unity, the blending of all the
experiences throughout the grand universe from the beginning of time to the
end of time.  So, while you do find administrators, creators, master
spirits, beings of origin from Trinity; overseeing worlds, constellations,
and systems; there is only one Supreme.
      
Just as in yourself you have your body and your mind; you have your rational
mind and your intuitive mind; you have your matrix of feelings; you have
your character traits; there is only one soul. But that mankind is
perceiving wholeness on the level of the planet, perceiving wholeness in a
collectivity of planets, and increasingly perceiving the wholeness and unity
of the entire universe; this is the movement and growth of the Supreme
itself.
      
Recognize that as you identify and sense the power of a healthy planet --
and I mean that not just the world upon which you live but the cultures and
civilizations and life all about it -- you are recognizing the presence of
the Supreme emerging.  It appears specific and localized as you grasp the
unity of totality from the perspective of your world.  But you will discover
in the ages to come it is all part of a greater totality.
      
Picture a light behind a panel with many holes.  At first you perceive many
points of light, but soon you discover there is one light and many
emanations of that light. Thank you for asking.  Let us continue.

The Dissemination of the Urantia Book
 
Question #5:  The next topic is the dissemination of The Urantia Book.  What
importance do Michael and your Magisterial Mission place upon the
promulgation of The Urantia Book at this time?

Monjoronson:  We place great importance upon making this revelation
available to all who are willing to undergo the training it provides for
planetary and universe consciousness and citizenship.  While the text
entails much that is beneficial to the spiritual welfare of the individual,
there is a lot presented therein that is preparatory for more direct human
engagement with the planetary supervisors and celestial ministers.  These
are preparatory teachings for being so employed.
      
It may not in its entirety feed the hungry soul, but that is not its prime
purpose.  It has a global intention to bring a general upliftment to all
mankind as well as to each individual and to plant seeds for the conception
of and recognition of universe harmony and the inter-workings of cosmic
beings.  It is important for those who may be inclined to undertake this
awakening to learn of and choose to learn in that revelation.
      
You might perceive it to be an inoculant which certain individuals will
adhere to and in the derivation of the benefits they receive will become
capable of distributing the knowledge and the perspective in many ways that
others may come to sense universe harmony, though they may never read the
pages.  But we look forward to many who have a comprehensive grasp, for they
will be the skilled artisans who can translate and adapt the teachings to
the levels of comprehension of their associates.  There may never be a time
when all peoples of Urantia engage in the understanding, comprehension, of
this presentation.  But as Michael said, the harvest is great and the
workers are few.  I encourage all who are engaged in assimilating the
teachings presented therein to continue the effort, for that will be the
easy part of the learning phase.  The more challenging phase will be your
translation through life those meanings into relevancy for many others.  You
would not even call me a Magisterial Son if it were not for that text. Thank
you for asking the question.

Problems with Revelation
 
Preamble: The final topic concerns the problems of revelations. Many
personal truths that are experienced by the soul require that one shares and
applies them in daily activities.
      
Question #6:  How do you relate these truths and thoughts to beings who
clearly are not ready or interested in such treasures when one is dealing
with them on a daily basis?

Monjoronson:  I will return to our first question of this evening, and that
is to let your light so shine.  I will draw from the midwayers presentation
of the life and teachings [of Jesus] when they made record of his visit to
Rome and how he engaged in conversation with many people from all walks of
life and did so first by showing a genuine interest and curiosity about them
and then in coming to understand introductorily about them, translated the
spiritual truths he wished to express into the terminology of their
lifestyles, whether it be their careers or other interests.
      
Spiritual growth is incremental, and so you may aspire to assist another to
a great awakening, to a comprehensive insight of reality, but recall in your
own life few have been the events of great sudden awakening. The degree of
your comprehension of cosmic reality has been a step by step unfoldment and
attainment.  You are most successful if you draw that person one step
further.  It is highly efficient to do this, for you need not teach the next
ten or one hundred steps.  The drawing of the first step often stimulates
the soul of that individual to make the subsequent step.
      
Do know that in all your ministry you are ably assisted by many beings,
angels and midwayers to name but a few.

Preamble: There is a certain human loneliness experienced by spiritual
individuals on a world like Urantia, because friendship on their level with
others is quasi-impossible.  We are often mistaken for weak individuals and
abused.  When we contemplate the life of Jesus magnified by our
understanding of the infinitude of the love of our Father, our problems and
concerns then become truly insignificant and even humorous at times.
      
Question #7:  Would you please add a new reality to our awareness, to our
understanding, regarding spirit love, something new for us to absorb and
think about?

Monjoronson:  Indeed you indicate a fact of spiritual attainment.  The
farther you advance, depending on the world you are on, -- and you speak of
Urantia as the context of this question -- you may find yourself less
surrounded by those like you.  On an advanced world you will find yourself
surrounded by more like you as you ascend into their level of attainment.
      
This loneliness can be displaced by following the master¹s lifestyle, and
that is he always left himself out.  When it came to the consideration of
what to do and why, his purpose was always for God and for his brothers and
sisters.  Yes, you may find them not so willing to engage on the level that
you are seeking to maintain as a lifestyle, but a genuine love and interest
in another individual will provide that kinship.  You may be more like a
loving parent than a loving peer, but many of you on this world know the
joys of being a loving parent, of coming alongside the maturity level of
your child and relishing the relationship.
      
You have noted well how Michael when he was on your world had such a wide
discrepancy -- though this word is not precise of my intention to express to
you -- between his creator consciousness and his manhood.  You have less of
a gap between than he did and he lived a happy life, loved many people, and
many people loved him. While he could not tell them of all that he had come
to sense and remember, he could tell them some.  As he said, ³In my Father¹s
house there are many mansions, and I go to prepare a place for you². That
was enough to cause aspiration in the souls of his fellows. Had one been
willing he would have given further details. I hope this assists you.
