*	Jessona (Jonathan TR):  Greetings, I am Jessona.  It is a pleasure to be
among you to witness your considerations of the affairs of this world and to be
concerned over your fellow human beings who struggle just as you do to reach
light, to experience love.  These are the most important needs of any human
being, light and love.  All that transpires on any given planet is a means to
this end, whether it be to create the awareness of the absence or to contribute
to the sense of its presence.
	Jesus left with you the words, "Believe and you shall be saved", and "Ask
and it shall be given to you", "Give and receive."  I am a master seraphim.  My
kind and myself are engaged in a grand plan of provision.  We are here to
provide
the answers, the support, even training and encouragement.  As you ask, we are
pledged to give you your needs.  This Correcting Time mission with which I have
become involved is an effort to restore the planet to normal progress, and, as
you are aware, this is no simple task, for in order for this world to realize
that it belongs to a universe family, it must believe, and there follows the
salvation.  You are not lost; you have been rescued, but you do not know it. 
Some on this world are coming into the understanding of your placement in the
kingdom of God, and you who do respond to this knowledge are those who are
giving, and in giving you are receiving celestial support.
	Today this planet can be likened to being in a state of adolescence.   You
have gained enough sophistication in the form of knowledge and ability to be
able
to do many things, but you aren't much older than the eras before you wherein
knowledge was less, skills were few, and less wisdom prevailed.  During those
eras much of life was focused upon the prevention of death, providing shelter,
security from enemies.  Today, though these needs remain, your skills are such
that you can do more to correct imbalances, but as a teenager who has just
gotten
a driver's license, you do not yet have  the wisdom of experience.  Your
hours on
the road are few as a civilization.  So, sitting beside you as you are at the
driver's seat are many like myself.  The Teaching Mission is a driver's training
program.  I will not steer; I will not step on the brake; I will not signal. 
That is your role, your obligation.  When you do signal or remove your foot from
the gas and place it upon the brake I will be willing to give you pointers as to
how to execute your turn.  Many of my kind are willing to do likewise.  We
are so
willing that we have established many branches, committees, if you will, focused
upon specific areas of human need for cultural advancement for planetary
progress.
	These three sayings of Jesus that I have repeated to you are very powerful. 
When you ask, you acknowledge a need, you create the receptivity, you begin to
participate.  When you receive, you have established an experience of
fulfillment, a faith step of provision.  This empowers you to ask again, knowing
through wisdom that the power is before you and willing to work with you.  From
this experiential gain you know that you can give, that when another is in need
you are like us and provide the fulfillment.  This is a long chain of cosmic
energy that goes from God on Paradise out to the far reaches of the universe. 
Where there is need there is giving.
	What lacks today on this world is the believing that you are saved.  This
is a transitional time.  Soon the less awkward phase of early adulthood for
civilization will have been passed and the maturing ages will follow.  No longer
will there be the temptation to take the freedoms of others.  No longer will an
individual or a group entertain the folly that their actions can control
others. 
Soon -- and I speak from a seraphic time frame -- this world is going to realize
the importance of ideals, of spiritual values, that something that can be done
may not need to be done because it can be done.  Often this is what an
adolescent
does and soon learns from those mistakes.
	Urantia has recently left a chapter that you call the Cold War, a battle of
ideologies, each seeking world dominance.  Today you are likewise under the
conflict of ideologies.  Fear motivates many in positions of power, fear of the
opposing forces, fear that supporting forces will find their leaders inadequate
and displace them.  In time with our help you will realize that you are saved. 
The war is over.  Your ideologies, all of them, will show to be inadequate for
the new era.  They are functional today, however, they create discord among
you. 
With the training of the many ministers of light who have come to this
world, you
will eventually harmonize your viewpoints and begin to work as one team or
family.
	I have noted that my own corps of seraphim work in committees in different
venues.  You will maintain these differences.  Just as we have twelve groupings
and we work as one body, you will have cultures, governments, countries, races;
but you will work as one body.  Believe, my friends.  If you could but see the
many who hover over this world, who dwell among you intangibly, you would know
that it is true; Urantia's destiny is glorious.  I ask you to give all that you
know.  Give your energy; give your love.
	I enjoy addressing you.  I will remain in your company.  I am not the only
one here today who wishes to make contact.

*	Machiventa (Mark):  Machiventa here.  I will speak to you once again today
on relationships.  We have spoken before of the relationship of truth, beauty,
and goodness.  I will make an assignment of embracing the aspects in their
uniqueness and in their totality.  I would make example of this group this very
hour and, by way of observation, can clearly discern the beauty present when
individuals such as yourselves gather to share and grow and stretch
themselves in
the truth.
	Whenever you have truth and the beauty that results in the coming together
and sharing of individuals, then one must not have to look very far to find
goodness is also present.  Goodness is discernible by you as those feelings of
comfort, of satisfaction, that you experience having participated in the
origination of beauty, the sharing of truth.  It therefore becomes our challenge
to look around us as we traverse through our experience and to draw together
wherever you may be these elements to create the environment of goodness through
the living of truth, the sharing of truth, the willingness to embrace truth.
The
beauty that we see surrounds us becomes more profound, more intense, when we
draw
it into our triangle.  The feeling and environment that this creates is
goodness. 
So, whenever you feel any one aspect the expansion of truth, the beholding of
beauty, there also is the environment of goodness.  So I ask you to draw these
together.  Wherever you may contact one you may be assured the others are
not far
away.  When you feel a sense of well-being associated with goodness, look for
where truth resides and where beauty exists, and you have all the elements
of the
complete experience.
	More and more you will come to discern that looking from one corner of this
triangle it is more easy to discern the other two corners.  To shift your focus
from corner to corner provides you with a rich and complete experience, one with
all the necessary components to be worthy of spiritual experience, one that can
be added to your library of experiences to modify your perspective.
	I know in monitoring your discussion here this morning that clearly all
aspects are present in such a meeting as this.  I merely wish to draw your
attention to the various components so that you may reassemble these components
in other scenarios you are involved in and thus enrich your experience and that
of the Supreme.  I know each of you here seeks for opportunities such as
this, so
I stir the pot a little today with a suggestion to be on the lookout, for these
triangles are everywhere.
	I thank you for being such diligent seekers of the truth and frankly I
marvel at your station, that you come to us seeking the truth, showing the
beauty, and experiencing the goodness as a result.  I honor your efforts, and no
doubt they will come to great fruition.  Thank you for hearing my words.

*	Elyon (Jonathan):  This is Elyon.  I humbly step forward to contribute to
Machiventa by saying, "See illustration below" and would offer a picture.
	You have developed a technology where, by wearing a certain form of glasses
you can see a film in stereo vision.  Machiventa speaks of sitting in the corner
of this triangle of truth, beauty, and goodness and viewing the other two.  I
offer to you the notion that love is the special glasses that you may put on
where you have the tri-vision of the harmony of truth, beauty, and goodness;
intensifying depth, altering your perspective of relationship.  Not one, truth
nor beauty nor goodness, reveals love.  All three give you the vision of love,
and if you look with the eyes of love, all three stand in harmony in a oneness. 
End of illustration.

	Mark:  The opportunity exists when we contact a triangle and discern that
we may be of assistance in fostering one leg of the stool.  There may be a need
for truth where we can be helpful, or beauty.  We may help build as well as
simply observe these triangles.
*	Elyon:  This indeed is true.  I will follow your illustration.  As the
realization of truth, beauty, and goodness continues, whether it be in a
personal
life or for a whole planet, this three legged stool grows.  At first it's a step
stool, eventually a barstool.  During this growth one leg may appear shorter
than
the other two for the time being.  As you have said, here is the opportunity for
service, to lift the lagging leg to bring balance, levelness, back.  It will
only
be for a short while, a transient stage of stability soon followed by more
growth.
	Thank you for sharing.

	Patricia:  Thank you, teachers, for saying those things exist.  When I
looked with my spiritual vision I hadn't seen those things, and I was
discouraged
not seeing hope for humanity.  It uplifts my heart to know they are part of a
unit.
*	Elyon:  I'm glad we can be of counsel and assurance for you.  It is one of
the complications of growth that while one leg is short there is the tendency to
slide off the stool.  Here is where faith and hope function to allow you to hang
on until that lagging member catches up.

	Mark:  You help us understand that we need to be truth, to be beauty, to be
goodness to facilitate the growth of our triangles and of those around us.
Thank
you for the perspective you provide us.
*	Elyon:  Your gratitude is received.

	Patricia:  What is the "day of atonement"?  I've been told it's at-one-ment
for this planet that was selected for something to happen.  Is that true?
*	Elyon:  This phrase has been adapted from literature that has expressed a
coming time of atonement.  I would offer the one amendment that this day is a
period of time.  This Correcting Time we speak of is the interval of reaching
at-one-ment, the reconnection in universe circuits, the stabilization of this
world spiritually and physically.  That is our goal, to reach this day to, as we
have spoken, level that stool.
	There will not be, as is often attached to this understanding, harsh
punishments from the heavens.  The calamities and disasters you may
experience in
the cleansing and the correcting will be from the resistance of mankind.
That is
why we encourage each of you to be about the business of sharing light and love
to plant the seeds wherein, when these hard times appear to others, they will
realize the importance of goodness, the value of truth, and the enhancement of
beauty.  This day of atonement arrives only when each of you contributes.  You
might say there is a divine conspiracy to have this day arrive, but that is as
far as the divine hand can reach, for to get there you all must respond.  If you
resist, divine guidance will continue, but the day will not arrive.  Perhaps it
would be fitting to repeat Jessona's urge to believe and be saved, and the day
will be here.
	Does this help you?

	Patricia:  Yes.  In a recent transcript Michael said something like, "Be
ever ready to release spirit presence into your environment."  Sometimes I
practice my way of asking for divine help through a breathing technique.  Could
you tweak that homemade method?
*	Elyon:  I applaud your effort, for the conscious awareness you express in
going about this form of injecting positive and spiritual energy is what gives
corridor, channel, for the energy to be spread.  You become the orifice through
which it passes.

	Patricia:  Is it helpful to create these corridors?  Is it a dual function
of me and you, or should I step aside and you fill in with what's appropriate?
*	Elyon:  Both are true.  You can, as has been said, ask and receive.  But
you can also give; you can be active in passing the energy, or you can be
accommodating, allowing the energy to pass.  This is why I approve of your
method
of visualization.  I would not say that any particular visual technique is the
right one and another wrong, for that is your means of engagement, of
connectivity, that is personal and therefore acceptable.  Each one of my kind
does likewise, opening, receiving, and passing.  We work together; the energy
descends a long route from absolutism.  It spreads far and wide, each of us
having a modifying effect but never distorting the energy.  The energy remains
pure.  Our sheathing through which the energy flows will look different all
across the universe, and as you will come to know as I have, much of the
adventure and fun of traveling the universe will be witnessing the many forms of
conduit manifestation.  That is the tapestry of evolutionary experience.

	Patricia:  I feel inadequate to participate; I don't know what is needed. 
It is enough to send carte blanche love?
*	Elyon:  Yes.  As Jesus said, "If you know not what to pray, pray in my
name."  If you are not sure how to project the energy let those who are
about you
provide the energy.  Give them the signal and they will go.

	Patricia:  It was said that we would have many governments making one body. 
Could you explain the body?
*	Elyon:  This body will be better than but not far unlike your current
international body of the United Nations.  However, a form and structure as your
current United Nations exists only as the people involved believe in it and
contribute to it.  At any time any countries could withdraw and cause fraction. 
The new and true world body will include a council of celestial beings.  It will
not be simply a collection of countries; it will also have celestial contact and
guidance just as was originally intended on this world.  This is in the long to
come and may yet take time to arrive, for much in ideology must evolve on this
world.  Fear of unity in government and power greed in controlling everyone,
until these two forces are displaced the true unified body must wait.
	I hope this helps.

	Patricia:  Yes, thank you. 
I can't visualize this consortium happening from a government level.  I can see
on a grassroots level people reaching across borders.  One partner of that
consortium would be spirit invited to attend.
*	Elyon:  Quite insightful, my sister.  This is how it will happen, for as
has evolved on this world finally the value of democracy, not government ruling
the people but people running the government, this is how it will happen.  So,
this is why I myself come to you, humble friends, in this small living room.  It
would be a temptation to stand on the White House lawn, but that would be the
backwards approach.  It is through the spiritual transformation of the
individuals that the demands for proper governmental actions will come about.

	Patricia:  I believe that would have happened already except for our fear
of the government.  We are oppressed and punished when we do this.
*	Elyon:  Fear and the power of those who run the governments, whichever
government that be...
	Patricia:  People are afraid to act independently.  They're punished.
*	Elyon:  If you found your hose gushing with water you would hasten to slow
the flow.  If it dripped you may ignore it unconcerned that it needed repair. 
But this trickle would eventually water your lawn.  So would the flood.  So
it is
true with the growth of human beings.  By little trickles you will transform the
governments.  If you gush there will be automatic recoil to prevent what appears
to be disaster.
	Patricia:  We must be surreptitious?
*	Elyon:  Yes.  Spend time with little children.  Minister to the afflicted. 
Counsel the needy, those who seek truth.  By doing so you will affect more than
if you were to singly march upon a governmental body.

	Patricia:  I recently took a film making class.  Film is a powerful medium
for change.  I thought I would use it subliminally through music or other
techniques to effect others without their knowledge.
*	Elyon:  [tape flipped] ...which exists.  If I am correct you have some
rules regulating such undertakings because of abuse.  But as one with spiritual
sensitivity, you know that even a not so sublime but rather subtle portrayal of
various meanings, values, or experiences can be correlated by the mind of the
viewer and with the divine presence associated into a spiritual vision.  There
may be a resistance to the overall message but an acceptance to the many parts. 
By providing them in some form of media you provide the opportunity for that
viewer to commingle those isolated incidences and realize your ultimate goal. 
They may perceive that they came to that realization, that it was not present in
the film.  However, you did provide all the elements for that association
knowing
full well that they would make the realization.
	Patricia:  Could you offer a particular example?
*	Elyon:  My comment would be that issues that are resisted by a viewer are
easier to swallow if the sub-elements are identified with.  So, if you had a
film
that said, "Let there be no more war" many may not attend because they do not
believe that.  If you had a film that contained life episodes and experiences of
many actors of everything they underwent, that individual may leave the viewing
feeling let there be no more war.  It's craftsmanship on your part, just as a
poet is subtle in word to convey meaning and feelings that are not able to be
expressed verbally.  Once the words are craftfully associated and the reader is
diligent in observing, the meaning emerges.

	Patricia:  Could you lay a track on this film, a spiritual track?
*	Elyon:  Perhaps we need those tri-vision glasses.  Be assured that when any
human being views a movie or listens to a soundtrack the divine spirit is
attentive.  You can create your art knowing of this presence in the viewer just
as when you speak truth to a friend if you speak to the spirit within they are
more apt to receive.  Likewise create your work speaking to the spirit of the
audience.

	Harold:  Could you address the issue of attachments?  Is it necessary to
eliminate all attachments or are there ones we should cultivate?
*	Elyon:  That which has lasting value is the only thing or things to be
attached to.  As you have diligently studied these many years you know they are
relationship and God and that which interconnects all beings creature to
creature, creature to Creator, which is truth, beauty, and goodness.  Therefore
these are the things to be identified with, not just attached to but so absorbed
into your being that you are it.  All else becomes transient, useful for a time
and easily set aside.  So, if necessary you can through detachment wrest out of
you that which you dislike, yet if instead you seek to be fully absorbed into
that which you value highly, it will be simple to detach from all else.  The key
ability to doing so is your complete faith and trust in God, your extreme love
and desire for the experience of divine communion.  This automatically reorders
your values.
	You know that your ideals can outpace your abilities to live up to them. 
In the time between the birth of your ideal and the attainment of your ability
you may need to pluck out the obstacles in your way.  But also deepen your
passion for the goal, and you will aggressively and willingly plow right through
your obstacles and leave them behind.
	Does this help?

	Harold:  Yes.  So it's not possible to become too attached to the concept
of spiritual growth?
*	Elyon:  No.  But you can be too attached to the frameworks through which
you acquire growth, the structures, the scaffoldings which provide spiritual
insight such that as you ascend you become reluctant to let them go for newer
techniques.

	Patricia:  On the morontia realms are there attachments of one person to
another?  When one moves to another level is there sadness?
*	Elyon:  There are strong bonds of this nature such that many times one will
wait for the other to complete the course so that they both may move on
together.

	Patricia:  Do you experience pain, emotional pain?
*	Elyon:  Having not been in physical form for centuries, I cannot say what
angst I experience is pain, for that is a physical description, but we do long. 
We do experience agony.  But these experiences are not without hope, for we have
experienced the victory of light over darkness, and we are impassioned with a
continuing flooding of light into areas of need.  That you could say is the pain
that drives us to service, but in reality it would better be said that it's a
passion.

	Patricia:  Are you telepathic with the one you are bonded with?
*	Elyon:  This universe is wondrous.  There are so many means for
communication, that which you have illustrated and many more miraculous forms of
communication that make your current wireless technology look like child's
play. 
However, to return to the question of attachment, we have learned to undergo
-- I
avoid using the word endure -- long periods of separation.  I have not been with
my first world partner for many, many years.  But the bond is there; contact is
made, but our assignments put us universes apart.
	Patricia:  Can you still talk to that person?
*	Elyon:  Yes.
	Patricia:  Since you can come to us, can you not go to her?
*	Elyon:  We have forms of visualized imagery that provide this sense of
proximity, but I am speaking of distances of multiple light years.  As I have
said, the celestial technology is incredible.
	My friends, I will close our session.  Those who have attended today
enjoyed making their contact with you. Each one hopes that you will find
nourishment in these communications and that your abilities to provide like
insight to others will increase, for there are many of your kind who would enjoy
these same meaningful insights that will not receive them from me, but they will
from you.
