Meeting in Creston, BC, Canada

*	Elyon (Jonathan TR): Greetings, I salute you all; I 
acknowledge your attention; I welcome you as a friend.  I am 
Elyon.
	Your interest in our outreach program through contact is a 
reward to each of my associates, as we have labored to bring 
about restoration on Michael’s beloved world.  You are our 
compatriots, for you have endeavored to comprehened the nature 
of the spirit administration of this world and to wrestle with 
your contribution toward the manifestation of light in the form 
of truth.  The answers to your spiritual and philosophical 
inquiries have strengthened your souls and enlightened your 
minds to the extent that you are counted among the enlisted in 
this current phase of Michael’s program for Urantia.
	We are engaged in a broad effort of leading mankind out of 
darkness and into light.  It is not a battle of one view against 
another; it is an undertaking of promotion, advancing 
comprehension of universe principles throughout all 
manifestation of human thinking and religious behavior.
	Blessed are you to have been introduced to the great work of 
the honored Orvonton commission: your Urantia text.  While I 
understand, as one who was myself a mortal human being, that 
insignificance as one individual upon a world is strong, a 
planet so large appears to be beyond your ability to influence.  
Coupling your current education through this revelation with 
Michael’s demonstration of ministry, personal, one-on-one, you 
have all the requirements necessary to further the effort toward 
Light and Life on Urantia.
	Today I encourage you to accept our designation on you as 
leaders.  While a leader may appear to head the pack to those 
who follow, within an honest leader is the understanding of 
divine guidance.  A leader is one who takes initiative but is 
also one who receives guidance and correction and instruction.  
It is a role much like one who steps up to the plate, who takes 
up the bat to face the pitcher.  The pitcher of a ball game is 
the role my associates and I take with you.  We toss you the 
ball and you choose when to swing.  There will be times when you 
miss, and you will feel like you failed.  There will be times 
when you do not act.  In this inaction you come to learn that 
you either hesitated through unwillingness when the opportunity 
presented itself, or you acted wisely in withholding your action 
to allow the opportunity to develop wherein you may better apply 
yourselves.  I assure you that you each have connected; you have 
hit the ball.  It is high in the air.  I encourage you now to 
run, take to flight.  No batter makes it around the bases 
without personal effort.  We will continue to pitch balls your 
way and take delight, unlike your game, every time you hit.  But 
in order for Urantia to progress, there need to be more players 
on the bases.  It is your commitment, it is your courage, that 
takes you to the plate, that makes you swing.
	When you have engaged yourself in a project sponsored by 
Michael’s mission teachers, you rally the enthusiasm of your 
fellows.  There is great encouragement found in the example of 
another, and many in the dugout of life step forward in your 
footsteps to help you around the plates, to join you in getting 
on base.  One hit encourages the next to step to the plate.
	While I am dedicated to this correction program and will 
remain enlisted as long as Michael assigns me here, he left your 
world telling you to go forth and preach the gospel.  I am here 
to encourage to you to do this.  I am not here to preach; you 
are the ones.  It is upon Urantia, not above Urantia, that the 
work will be done for planetary advancement.
	I know that you are interested in   seeking answers to 
questions you hold.  I will keep my lesson short.  I welcome 
your responses and your input.

	Evelyn (after a long pause):  Our friends seem a little 
bashful.  I know they would love to hear anything about the 
teachers working with this group.

	Cecile:  I would like to know who my personal teacher is.

*	Elyon:  Christy.

	Cecile:  Christy?  Okay.  Thank you.

	Lorraine:  This is Lorraine.  May I have the name of my 
wonderful teacher?

*	Elyon: It is with love that I come forward to assure you of 
your ability to receive contact on the order of lessons of 
length.  Each one of you in this room is aligned with a teacher 
enlisted in Michael’s program.  I urge you to step forward to 
allow the voice to speak.  It is Thomas.

	Lorraine:  Thank you, Elyon.

	Barbara:  (Inaudible.  Asks for the group teacher’s and her 
personal teacher’s name.)

*	Jeremy:  This is Jeremy.  I use this contact to introduce 
myself as your group teacher.  I am delighted to make myself 
more overtly known, for you are cherished by me.  I am 
privileged to be among such brilliant souls, to have ones as you 
for friends, to have such a corps of understanding people who 
are capable of wrestling with problems of a universe 
perspective, who are willing to face the darkness in order to 
perceive the light.  I recognize your strength, and I am 
confident in our progress as a working group.  If it is your 
choice to welcome me, I am dedicated to be at your service.

	Group:  We welcome you, Jeremy.
	
*	Jeremy:  As Elyon stated, you do each one have a personal 
teacher.  It is with caution that we encourage you to seek in 
stillness all of your teachers’ names, for it is difficult for 
Jonathan to grasp with certainty each appellation.  You who have 
received a name are asked to take this into prayer for 
confirmation, for your relationship with your personal assistant 
is just that, personal.  It is through this verification within 
that your trust is strengthened, for no man may stand between 
you and your relationship with your teacher.

	Sharon:  Can you tell us about yourself, Jeremy?

*	Jeremy:  I am one who has been working within this system of 
planets a duration of time, the number of which you would find 
of little value, for it is of an extended period.  I am 
domiciled upon the headquarters.  I volunteered for this 
service, for my experience has largely been upon Jerusem as an 
assistant of the administration, one of the staff.  It is my 
desire to broaden what you call a resume by engaging in contact 
with my younger brothers and sisters in this manner.  This will 
assist me in assignments abroad within our constellation.  While 
I have given you my personal motivations, foremost and highest 
of my priorities is helping you to do the work of Michael.

*	Michael:  Beloved children, though I dwell among you ever 
and always, I reach to you in voice at this time to assure you 
of my love once again, to embrace you.  You are my chosen.  You 
are my apostles, for you are willing to step forward for truth.  
Trust the reception of those I send to you.  Acknowledge their 
presence, but be not afraid.  They will not leave you if you 
misunderstand their names or words.  They know that it is in 
your relationship that understanding and love will grow.
	I am known on your world as Jesus, and you know me as 
Michael.  I am addressed by many names; you know me by the way 
of love; you know me through mercy.  It is our touch that is our 
true connection, and this is all through the power of our 
Father’s grace upon us all.  It is to Him we ascend.  It is to 
Him I give you.
	My work in Nebadon is to honor our Father.  All across my 
universe home I reach to souls like you that I may take you back 
to my Father, our Father, and proudly place you in His arms.  
You know not the adventure that lies before you; you have but 
heard.  In time you will travel and in eternity you will know.  
Rest assured of my watchcare.  Be certain that I will not let 
you run into danger.  I will not let you falter in your already 
well made progress.  I too have invested much in your 
unfoldment.  I will not let that slip.  Carry me in your hearts 
as I carry you.

*	Elyon:  This is Elyon.  I return to allow Jonathan release 
from this contact.  But as he so does, it is my wish that you 
spend a few moments now listening, receiving.  Be bold and share 
what filters into your awareness.  You are not to be judged 
whether you express for your fellows.  I ask you to do this, for 
it will aid you in your training.
	Thank you for receiving us all today.  I take my leave.
