*	Elyon  (Jonathan TR):  Greetings to you, I 
am Elyon.  I am touched that you were so 
receptive of my offer of a collective 
visualization.  You have expressed yourselves 
in a personal manner adjusting this technique 
to fit your own idiosyncrasies, and this is an 
important adaptation for anyone to make when 
applying such visualizations, for the depth of 
meaning, the impact upon you, is best felt when 
adapted to your own preferences, to your own 
style.  Since we have been discussing 
collective visualization these past few 
sessions I will contribute more thought, not so 
much on the subject but rather applying to the 
subject.
	We have been calling this a collective 
visualization because it appropriately 
indicates the social quality of the endeavor.  
However, it is important to expand the 
perspective from collective to congregational, 
and I bring this up because your circle of 
prayer today illustrates that you were not 
simply a collection of people undergoing a 
visualization; you were and are a congregation 
of souls engaged in this healing circuit.  A 
congregation is a collection, but it is greater 
than a simple association of beings.  It is 
with gregariousness that you associate, and 
that attraction is the attraction of love.  It 
is the pivotal force that binds you together 
with Michael’s children in spite of your varied 
viewpoints.
	One who collects may limit their 
collections to a specific field, for instance, 
cars or shoes.  Yet another may likewise use 
this word “collection” to surround many items 
that appear quite unassociated.  Even a group 
of prisoners are collected.  They share no bond 
among themselves nor toward the collector.  Yet 
in congregation there is love; there is that 
familial warmth; there is the sense of hoped 
for well-being for each.  You have expanded 
this sphere of energy to encompass the world 
today.  In so doing you are collecting your 
fellows into this congregation of Michael’s 
mission of expressing the love for the Father 
and his love taught to us as brother to 
brother.
	When you undertake your associations with 
personalities of many types during your weeks, 
I encourage you to approach the relationships 
with the intention of it being a congregation, 
a mutual embrace, a mutual care and compassion, 
and not as much a collection: a gathering to 
one’s side, entertaining within one’s sphere, 
as juxtaposed with another collectivity, 
another sphere of influence.  Collecting can be 
forceful; congregating is willing.
	I ask you to enter into our dialogue 
portion of my visit with you at this time.

	Evelyn:  Thank you for the visualization 
you suggested.  I enjoyed it, especially 
applying the varied senses.  At first I was 
just saying the words but then the tactile 
sense surfaced.  I felt material things were 
more imaginary; we are all suspended in space.  
If that’s a more helpful way of distributing 
healing energy then great!

*	Elyon:  Thank you for your appreciation.  
As you know over these  years I often do not 
present homework or assignments or make 
requests that you undertake behaviors that I 
suggest, though I do find pleasure in 
witnessing your spontaneous and free choice 
applications of what I present to you.  I 
enjoyed your creative approaches and your 
multi-voiced direction in this undertaking this 
morning.

	Ginny:  Being the creatures we are, it 
helps for focus to have that led both visually 
and the other senses.

*	Elyon:  Indeed this is true especially 
upon a world that is peopled largely by 
agondonters, those who believe without seeing, 
those who function because of a trust in 
spiritual truth, those who know and yet have no 
tangible proof to offer another that what they 
believe is true.  You have no headquarters that 
represents the Planetary Prince.  Your Garden 
of Eden is long returned to the natural ecology 
of its location.  No temple to the Father 
stands where you may see with your physical 
eyes.  So these techniques are worthwhile and 
valuable in spite of any danger that may follow 
should this effort become crystallized into a 
meaningless ritual.  But with your personal 
injection into this technique it becomes 
enlivened; it maintains your relevancy.
	On the note of one who lives by faith in 
the inner world, you can easily verify your 
pursuit of truth because of the residence 
within you of the Spirit of Truth.  But between 
you and others there are limitations of time 
and space.  You must communicate by way of your 
mouth, two ears, by way of your eyes and 
through touch.  It is in this medium of 
communication that enters in the uncertainty 
that another has received your expression, 
received it as you gave it, and associated in 
their minds as you wished it to be.  There is 
more doubt to be encountered in this form of 
communication than there is within yourself 
before God.  That this may not appear so to the 
human creature is largely due to the lack of 
spiritual training on this world and for the 
great emphasis placed upon sensory perception 
as verification of reality, when from our 
perspective as morontia beings the reverse is 
true.  The inner connection verifies your 
discoveries of truth, and the outer senses 
inaccurately reflect and sometimes distort this 
inner reality.

*	Lester (Ginny):  Hello, my friends, I am 
playing the imp in Ginny’s mind.  This is 
Lester.  I come, as you have perceived, at 
times when things get a little heavy and 
ponderous, not that they... but I am here to 
remind you of the presence also of true spirit 
and true love.  So, in the midst of all your 
concerns of the survival of your world and its 
peoples, you can be of great service also by 
helping to keep the hearts and minds of your 
friends light and easy.  Indeed his burden is 
light and his yoke is easy.  I encourage all of 
you to live in the light of love which is also 
in abundance on your planet, so it is important 
for you to focus on that aspect.  We are all 
here in abundance to gather together to plan 
for the upliftment of the planet, and there is 
much activity and much preparation abounding.
	As you approach the holidays and the 
gathering and the frequency perhaps of more 
gatherings you can participate in social 
ministry by being a ray of hope, a ray of 
light, a ray of love,  and trying to avoid more 
sinister aspects of gatherings, which as you 
know are more apt to happen during the 
holidays.  Having a grateful heart is a good 
idea at these times, simply to gather in 
gratitude for each other,  for each of you is 
indeed a beacon of light.
	It would be a good idea for you in these 
times to act and speak with words that 
communicate this understanding of the presence 
of love and light in this world.  If you don’t 
do it, who will?  So as you gather I will be 
there, of course, enjoying your camaraderie and 
your desire to be a pleasant and loving 
inspiration especially to those who may be 
troubled or in sorrow.  As you express your 
desires to be of more service, I am simply 
suggesting ways that you can do so without 
scaring people.
	Thank you and I bid you farewell.  

	Jonathan:  Thank you and thank you for 
your lesson recently about God’s grace being 
like grease; grease removes friction and is 
like sunscreen when things get hot on the 
planet.  I detect your lesson today falls into 
that same manner.  Today you speak of love and 
light being that same friction removing we can 
apply in the holidays to allow different forces 
to come together with love.  What you say has a 
sweetness, and I would like to join the sect of 
the Lesterines.

*	Lester:  Thank you for your company.  I 
appreciate your comment.

	Kirk:  Have you ever heard of The 
Disclosure Project initiated by Steven Greer?  
Could you comment on it?

*	Elyon  (Jonathan):  This is an undertaking 
that is welcomed by my associates and myself 
for it encourages human beings to ponder 
seriously the realities of populated worlds and 
to develop in the minds of many people the 
understanding that this civilization upon 
Urantia is not the end-all or apex of how 
culture can evolve.  Urantia has developed a 
way of thinking that it has unfettered freedom 
to undertake exploits, for it sees no 
corrective force that would rein in its 
undertakings.  Only does religion on your world 
have any application upon the thinking of 
mankind to steer its actions based upon 
universe principles.  This fellow and others 
like him are planting in the mindstream of the 
human race another element wherein ethical 
comparison may be made to gauge the 
appropriateness of human undertakings.
	When a single family lives alone on a 
desert island its social structure tends to be 
based upon its own interworkings.  When more 
families gather together the social structure 
reformulates to accommodate a greater 
diversity.  When it becomes a huge city of 
families even more structure that incorporates 
the considerations of many purposes is 
developed.  Through this process refinements in 
civilization are made.  Self sacrifice develops 
and service also comes into being.  Urantia has 
been like the desert island.
	Soon -- and it is beginning now -- you as 
a world will design your social standards as 
you incorporate the awareness of an 
interplanetary family.  The transition will not 
be smooth, for as you have found in your 
studies, there is resistance to the 
dissemination of knowledge already gained of 
life elsewhere.
	We sit in this room today and speak to one 
another.  This undertaking that we are engaged 
in can be refuted by many, for it is not highly 
tangible, so my presence with you can be 
written off.  Individuals like you have 
expressed today are discovering irrefutable 
evidences, and this will increase receptivity 
of other beings from elsewhere.
	While Urantia lingers behind many worlds 
in its development such that it is an unruly 
member in this system of planets, it would be 
unwise for you to have much contact with a 
neighbor at this time.  It is deemed of great 
importance that you have more contact with 
higher celestial beings not from other worlds 
but from the higher spheres that lie ahead in 
your ascension career.
	I applaud this fellow’s work, for I see it 
injecting itself into the philosophic thought 
stream, and that is where we look to help 
uplift mankind.  It may appear to some as 
merely science fiction.  It may appear to some 
as a cosmic religious undertaking.  But its 
impact philosophically is where I and others 
like me may get a foothold to bring a broader 
perspective and to infuse within this manner of 
thinking the dimension of truth that is 
revealed from the divine personalities of 
Paradise.
	I trust you receive well my opinion.

	Kirk:  Ahh, thank you, Elyon.

	Tom:  You have mentioned the rigorous 
mandates that celestials have regarding 
interfering with free will.  We have greater 
leeway for imposing our will on others on this 
world.  We are your hands and feet and aren’t 
held to nearly as stringent accountability as 
you.  Are beings from other worlds under the 
same mandates as you are?  Do they have the 
freedom to make changes on our world?

*	Elyon:  In the wisdom of our Creator 
inhabited worlds have been placed sufficiently 
apart in distance such that you may not 
unwisely impinge upon the evolution of another 
world, just as once upon this world your 
continents were protected by the seas from 
invasions from another continent.  Once your 
civilizations developed more fully they were 
able to intermingle with greater degree of 
peacefulness than early on.  This dynamic of 
behavior holds true between worlds.  Elsewhere 
in this universe it has been witnessed that 
there have been some conflicts between planets 
just as you have waged wars between continents.
	Urantia is only now emerging from 
quarantine.  Those who will be in contact with 
your world are special members chosen and 
trained to approach your world cautiously.  
They are more restricted in their contact than 
they would be if they were simply pioneers 
seeking new lands.  The reason is, as you have 
stated, that you, a human being, may have 
influence upon another human being because you 
are equals and your freewill spheres may 
intermingle or even clash.  That is part of the 
evolution in Supremacy.  Myself and others like 
me are on another level, and it is not deemed 
wise by the Creator that we manipulate what for 
you must evolve.
	Visitors from other worlds who come as 
equals may have influence upon you and you upon 
them.  In the case of Urantia, having undergone 
a lengthy period of isolation, these visitors 
are rehearsed by us and prepared to meet you 
according to Michael’s wishes, less independent 
than a free adventuring spaceship may do so in 
a normal realm.

	Ginny:  You are preventing aliens from 
coming here who may do us harm or that they are 
unable to come here?

*	Elyon:  Those worlds that are perceived to 
be potentially harmful to another world are as 
yet unable to traverse the distances, and your 
world is one of them.  The worlds that have 
these abilities to approach your world are from 
worlds that have not been retarded by the 
Lucifer Rebellion. These worlds more readily 
comply with the methods of Michael.  We do not 
prevent them who are potentially harmful; they 
are simply incapable.  But we do train and 
rehearse those who are in the circuits of 
Nebadon and fully aware of the undertakings of 
this system and constellation as well.  These 
come on assignment, for Urantia and worlds like 
it are under protection.  It is the desire of 
the Correcting Time officials that these worlds 
that have been wounded receive healing and 
upliftment free from potentially devastating 
setbacks.  Therefore you may plant within your 
conceptual frameworks the notion that those in 
the near future who will visit and become known 
on your world come benignly.
	Had you developed as a normal sphere in 
this system and continued beyond the 
development level you are at now to be capable 
of contacting other worlds, less restrictions 
would have been in place, and you would 
encounter these cultures much as you have in 
the past when you encountered new cultures as 
you crossed the seas.  You would and they would 
have made mistakes and learned from them.  But 
Urantia is under the protective care of 
Michael, and that alters the conditions of 
contactability of your world.
	Does this help?

	Kirk:  The technologies of our world are 
outgrowing the spirituality of our world.  Are 
we a threat to the cosmos in any way?

*	Elyon:  Your technologies are advancing 
and often independently of moral guidelines.  
However at this point, at the risk of sounding 
condescending, you are like a young child with 
rock in hand who cannot yet throw that rock 
over the fence into another yard.  So you are 
non-threatening to another world.  More so you 
are threatening to your own well-being.  
However in a few centuries this will change.  
Therefore do you witness the Correcting Time 
well underway on this world to hasten the 
spiritual development and to prepare you to 
wisely discern whether or not throwing that 
rock is worthwhile.

	Tom:  Our meetings with you seem to have 
grown out of our petition to know more after 
reading our text.  Since all spirit is 
contactable, is there a way to make contact 
ourselves?  ...(would contacting mortals on 
another world be) of a more physical nature if 
we were to contact these beings?

*	Elyon:  You have referred to technologies.  
There are technologies which this world has yet 
to develop to make more sensory contact.  Yes, 
you are correct in discerning the ultimate 
approach, mind communications and brotherly 
contacts.  These are available through the 
system and local universe circuits.  Worlds 
around you were kept in touch with events upon 
this world as needed and as they were helpful 
to those other planetary civilizations.  You 
need not span the physical distances to develop 
your interplanetary brotherhood.  What we do 
today is the crude beginnings of better mindal 
contact.  It is easier for one of my standing 
to make encircuitment, for the mind endowment 
bestowed upon creatures of my level of 
ascension has greater abilities in meshing with 
the human mind.  You will unfortunately 
experience greater difficulty contacting a mind 
encircuited in the same level as yourself much 
as you do encountering difficulty in the forms 
of telepathy among peoples upon your own world.  
But it is not impossible.  And I will 
unabashedly make a plug for stillness.

	Ginny:  If only this information could be 
given to every creature on this planet.
