Michael's Birthday

*	Sharmon (Jonathan TR):  Greetings, this is Sharmon.  It is
wonderful to be in fellowship with my mortal kinfolk.  It is a delight
to see the focus given toward our common Father and our mutual Mother
and to the spiritual circuits and entities that direct and channel those
circuits.  I wish it were that more of our mortal brethren would become
sensitive.  To simply acknowledge these realities would be a delight to
all my kind, let alone the one-day occurrence when you move beyond
acknowledgement to full engagement.  And it will happen.  We are
planning on it.
	But today as I hover in your midst I am also quite aware of and
can see your guardian angels.  They are the silent workers in this
mission; their hands are full dealing with you individually such that
their input into the Correcting Time is not so engaged in the
Melchizedek teaching efforts as they are in tending to you personally,
making sure you are spiffed up.  They, on a soul level, are polishing
your shoes, pressing your pants, removing stains from your garments that
you will be presentable to legions that have flocked to our world to
bring it into a state worthy of divinity.
	A few of these brilliant beings hover now in congregation to your
north.  They are taking a break, for when you are here as you are this
moment in association, spiritual brotherhood, you are in the safest
place to be; and your guardian angels are, for the time being, freed
from their overcare.  You are in safe keeping, and they are enjoying
reversion and receiving a personal charge themselves from their angelic
family.  All I can really say about them of any import is that they love
you.
	I now give you over to those of rank that I admire for you to
receive their words.

*	Machiventa (Mark):  Machiventa here.  I greet you all warmly on
this day and express the joy of strolling into your midst much as
strolling into a circle of luminaries, the light emanating from your
beings gathered in this way glows to the heavens and shines out for
those to see as beacons.  To walk into your, our, classroom is indeed a
joy and one of the memories I will cherish in my journey, in my
long-term association with your world and the generations of mortals
such as yourselves.  It is truly a high point for me to be involved at
this time with you, as the potentials are so very great we each face, we
collectively face.  The seas are indeed swelled.  The winds have begun
to blow in the spiritual storm which is about to hit land.  You all have
battened your hatches down, have prepared yourselves with the
information so that you are ready to use these winds and seas to your
advantage.  You will not be intimidated when these things come to pass
as we have told you plainly that they will.
	Once again I am here to extend the invitation to you, those who
are our human counterparts in this mission we are about.  We look to you
to gauge your reactions, to gauge your preparedness for the upcoming
spiritual surge.  We are very pleased when we look over you and see how
you have grown and how you have prepared yourselves for the tides to
rise.  You won't be taken by surprise when this happens.  You will not
only stay afloat but sail these seas as experienced seamen. 
Nevertheless I am here to encourage you to be active in this regard, to
always be prepared for the next scenario which provides you with the
necessary springboard, and to be engaged with us in this mandate from
Michael.
	It is indeed miraculous to witness the state we are in, the state
we have arrived at together, my friends.  There have been ebb and flow
in the spiritual progression on your world, our world, for a long period
of time.  At the apex of the crown we are always filled with joy and
expectation.  With each wave that passes we are better prepared to catch
the next one, more enthusiastic about the outcome.  Now we see what we
have been waiting for on the horizon for, lo, these many tries.  We are
fully prepared to ride this one all the way.  I am confident that there
is nothing to stand in our way.  Certainly you would each join us and
ride this wave, and that is the miracle, that we are here at this time
and place together, having been prepared in these classrooms and having
each individually embraced and accepted opportunity, this challenge
before us, as the calling of our hearts in service to Michael.  There is
no greater gift that you would give your creator than to work tirelessly
and ceaselessly to fulfill his plans.  Each one who does this has a
special place in the hearts of those who orchestrate the grand plan. 
Many are needed to carry it out, and each one is essential to the
overall success.  Therefore, each of you becomes an integral part in the
unfolding of the next saga that is to take place on our world.  There
will be a time in the future when you may gaze back on universe records
and see perhaps the real significance of your coming to this place at
this time in your spiritual progress.  For now take our word that it is
significant; you are important, and that we are in this together. 
Michael is with us, and we follow his marching, his leading.
	I and the entire corps of melchizedeks express our deepest
gratitude for you, our material complements, who fulfill the process we
are engaged in.  I tell you plainly that we will come calling on you
stronger and more frequently, and you will become accustomed to hearing
our nudges, our bumps, our sudden realizations as we provide them.  We
need you in each of your capacities to remain alert and aware of our
presence, to the presence of Michael.  We need you to maintain a
practice of stillness in attempts to make this communication simpler and
easier for you.  This exercise is not something that you eventually
complete and are finished with; this is an ongoing practice.  You will
only do more of this in your next incarnations.
	I have presented you with my thoughts and have expressed to you my
joy at seeing you all in this place at this time together spiritually. 
That was my intention.  I believe I have accomplished this and will
remain in attendance as I always am during these important meetings. 
Thank you.

*	Michael (Gerdean):  While I come to you as the sovereign, I set
aside my crown and reach to you as my fellows as a son of man in my
happiness to be with you.  I call your will to gather 'round and to
acknowledge your will individually that has opened itself to these
messages and impressions from on high in order for you to be
strengthened and emboldened in assigning yourselves to the tasks at
hand.  I bring words as an extension of the Eternal Son; the words being
representative of those higher concepts that will reveal our Father's
eternal nature and infinite love for His children, His many creations.
	It is a tremendous responsibility you have, those of you who have
given your will to do the will of the Father.  Those of you who have
followed in blind faith and found the path, who have experienced that
great peace, who have known the thrill of divinity association, are
indeed enthused to reveal the source of your great joy, as I was
privileged and consigned to do as I was here as a human, a mortal of the
realm as you are.
	I call you my fellows, for while we are aware of our sonship
status, our affinity with divinity, it is our urge to enlarge our
reality that allows for the courage to come forth, to go into the fields
where the light has not been struck to shine.  Candles being lit by your
efforts, giving confirmation of the divine spark in the hearts and minds
and in the wills of your brothers and sisters in the flesh, is the
leaven which will cause the bread of life to rise and to nourish
humanity.
	The assignment of tomorrow is to reach into the realms of humanity
who knew me not, who acknowledge me not, those who have not been taught
about the son of man, the crucified human who rose from the dead.  Take
the reality of sonship into those darkened spheres where only the divine
spark of infinity is able to inflame the heart by recognition of our
common Father, the Universal Father of us all such that we will be able
to infuse the divine virus of love into the hearts of those who did not
acknowledge me, who may not acknowledge you, but who will be revealed to
Him who sent us.  The Father who lives within the heart and mind of man
would know His children, whether they know me or not.  The glory is to
the Father.
	There are troubled times ahead on Urantia.  There are global hot
spots, wars and rumors of wars.  The only peace is that peace born of
the spirit, that spirit which knows of harmony and compassion, that
encourages tolerance and endurance, that recognizes the nature of God
because of the indwelling nature of God within each person.  Strike a
match to that candle by your human acknowledgment of their sonship to a
greater reality than the finite, which is the salvation of the finite
existence.  Your will in consecrated obedience to the orders that come
to us from the administration of the eternal Parents and their
administrative channels, down through Gabriel in your realm, into the
troops that march for sprit reality in obedience to the bugle call of
eternity; we march as an army, as a band, as a unit, as a family,
encroaching upon perfection.  I know we have a long way to go.
	I wish you could see, as I return my perspective to that of the
Son of God, I wish you could see the effects already of your efforts;
the light of Urantia burns steady and strong in and through your faith,
through your efforts, your willingness to grow and be remolded, reborn
of the spirit.  The reality that grows in you is enough to impact a
great range around you.  As you bond together as a family, as my
children in truth, you set the field afire, which in the new season will
bring forth yet another great harvest.
	You honor me by your presence here today in acknowledging my natal
birth as one who walked with you this very soil and breathed this very
atmosphere.  I continue to walk with you.  Seek for me.  See with eyes
to see my presence among you.  I go before you.  I prepare the way for
you, and when you follow me in trust of my leading, I will even give you
the words that will provide the concept, that will plant the seed, that
will light the fire that will give the glory to the Father on high.  Let
us be on our way.  The party on my behalf is a joyous event yet a sacred
event for you and for the countless legions of associates who rejoice to
be assistants to your world and my other worlds in reclamation from the
rebellion as a special assignment en route to greater works in worlds to
come.  My peace I leave with you.
