AHBARON: I am Ahbaron, my friends.
Oliver: Welcome, Ahbaron, I felt you coming. How very splendid!
AHBARON: How could I resist, my friends. Your prayer and your
warmth bring joy to the lessons of my assignment and gained
wisdom. I am comforted to know that you as brothers are together
again and continuously seeking the truth that draws you nearer
to our heavenly Father.
Oliver: Yes, Ahbaron, we are often overwhelmed with our process
of receiving revelation and truth and our spiritual growing.
Especially when I understand that we actually evolved from the
simplest cell slime and literally crawled out of the mud. And
here we are-suddenly it seems to us-we are feeling our Creator's
Spirit and talking to near-perfectly-created descending beings,
and other teachers of all sorts, all the while the Christ energy
is guiding us strongly into and through our experiences. All
this has been such an astounding and great gift. I thank you for
helping us along the way.
AHBARON: Yes, I am, as are my fellow Teachers, always there to
help you as we watch you slip and slide out of the mud, we
observe how you pick yourselves up by your bootstrapsŠ and carry
on along your path. In such a rainy country this would be
expected. [giggles] But have no fear you will not be covered
by a landslide, for you are always ready, my friends, to pull
each other out of the slick, to take the challenges that are
offered by your planet. What is mud and slick, but dust and
water mixed to challenge you, my brothers. You will slip and
slide, and slide and slip, and carry on, but alwaysŠ always
remember that there is a joy in picking yourself up and moving
forward.
And for what reason do we need to pick ourselves up? It is
because this is the way all of us evolve towards truth. Every
misfortune, every downfall is but a lesson towards your future
presence. As you watch those fall around you, extend your arms
and lift your fellows up and carry them along with you on your
journey towards eternity.
[laughing] Sometimes I see the two of you and you make me laugh
heartily. You seem to be flounderingŠ floundering over the most
trivial items. But to you, my brothers, I know how important
your concerns are. One will talk about the [Urantia} Foundation,
the other about truth of the Urantia Book, another one will talk
about this group or how this should be organized. Do you not
realize that all of your topics come under one heading: Moving
Towards Truth? Stumbling as you may, picking yourselves up-some
of these little areas get solved every day. And, of course, you
will find new little areas to trouble your daily lives. Life for
you, my brothers, is no quagmire. What you see around you is
normal. There will always be rain and sunshine in your lives.
Know the value of both. Do you have any comments or questions?
Oliver: Yes, Ahbaron, this is a exceptional opportunity to
speak to you, while you speak through another. I certainly want
to take advantage of this premium opportunity. My teacher and
friend, when you said "rain and sunshine", how is it on your
sphere? Do you also have rain to make things slippery for you?
AHBARON: Our [Melchizedek] worlds are not experimental planets,
such as your beautiful Earth. They are created spheres.
We have moisture for growth which was part of the construction
through the undersurface of our sphere. Much work and effort was
put into our only partially natural planet. Our lighting system
is from a distant star, and we have harnessed its energy through
methods of reflective transport to bring uniform light to our
world.
Our technology far exceeds the current state of your
consciousness. We had less problems to face, but we worked
cohesively together. Never once did we entertain the thought of
war and destruction, but for that we don't have one thing that
you in your culture have: We do not have an equal resilience to
the struggles of evolution. Our problems are trivial compared to
yours.
But light and moisture we know, we have worked with. We have the
problem status of the same heavy and lighter elements. We have
created many elements, some of which you will discover in your
time. Rest assured, our world is utterly beautiful, yet so
different in many ways for us. We have shared as co-creators in
the creation of the beauty of our planet. Much of that
responsibility was given directly to our engineers.
You will learn to repair your planet through similar methods
than we have encountered. Even so, my brothers, we will assist
you when the time is right and necessary to repair the small and
great damages which you have and are currently inflicting on
your planet. Your question is well founded. You are always
welcome to inquire of developing and developed cultures within
the local and far-flung universes of your Father-Creator. Never
doubt that an answer will be given if the time is right and
correct.
Oliver: Thank you, my friend, would you tell us more about the
schools of the Melchizedeks? I would like to know more how you
teach and learn. Is your entire world populated by Melchizedeks?
AHBARON: Our sphere is not entirely populated by Melchizedeks.
We have a predominance of one of our continents of Melchizedeks
learning and teaching. There are other groups on our planet who
have their own related teachings.
The Melchizedek teachings have been on your planet since before
the bestowal of Christ, as you well know. There were
difficulties when our brother, Machiventa, made his bestowal
appearance. At that time the tribal mentality could not
understand his message. They were full of fears and desires of
their own mythological propagation.
Our planet entered much more quickly into the era of life and
light. Melchizedeks are our honored fathers. It is a
time-honored generation. Many of their teachings incorporate
technologies, spiritual and mind phenomenology. The Melchizedeks
have visited many other planets on bestowal missions. To be a
Melchizedek is to be honored in sight of our heavenly Father.
The principal teachings of the line of Melchizedek follow very
closely to the teachings of your Planetary Prince Michael-always
united in spiritual agreement. This powerful lineage is effected
on our spheres and has traveled and developed and settled on
other planets even through the bestowal of a Melchizedek son on
your experimental-or as you would-decimal planet.
[Note: Christ Michael is the actual Planetary Prince of Urantia
because he completed his final bestowal here. However,
Machiventa Melchizedek is the present Planetary Prince.]
In your ascension you will know much more of their lineage, of
their history and their teachings in understanding the
glorification of spiritual life. On our sphere, were you to
visit, you would be now overwhelmed with the brightness of
spiritual life activities of our growing visiting population. We
have visitors from many sectors of our local universe. They are
there to learn and to grow.
I have visited my world many times. Currently I am assigned as a
teacher to three decimal planets. Your planet Earth is most
precious in my experiences. This assignment is a challenge for
me. Rest assured, you will discover in the appropriate time
during your ascension all those wonderful things that I have
discovered-well beyond the extent of your birth land and life
time. Be patient brother, question as you willŠ have you any
more questions?
Oliver: Thank you for your very beautiful answer. We are
beginning to understand that our entire ascension career is one
of learning and of teaching, that the entire universe is indeed
one big university. When you come from such a perfect world to
ours that is so backward, what is it that fascinates you about
your assignment on these three experimental planets?
AHBARON: I may best answer your question in this way. We know
that the delight and the joy of our Creator was in that he
created by fiat. Each planet, be it decimal or normal, has the
gift of the knowledge of creation. The value of that gift is in
the struggle which is necessary to achieve. Think of this: If a
man builds a house and is wealthy and hires the most experienced
engineers to build his house, but he is not there. He returns
after an absence and sees his house built, and his friends come
and say, "Your house is so beautiful. What a magnificent job you
did, Sir, in building this house!" What should this man feel
inside?
If, on the other hand, the man should struggle with his hands
and his shovel, with his building materials, and, may be, a few
workers, to build his own house. And when the house be finished
and his friends come and say in the same tone and the same
praise of 'what a beautiful house your have built!', what should
the second man feel?
You people on your planet are very fortunate. You have been
given the gifts of struggle and succession. You built your own
walls and road. You are even learning to landscape your planet.
What a wonderful feeling for those of you who are actually doing
something on your planet.
In some ways my world is perfect, and there is a regressive or
retrograde attitude to let someone else do the work for us. We
all shared in a communal way the enjoyment of the success of the
completion of one project after another, but very few were
directly involved. Nor was the struggle so great that we felt
ultimately challenged, nor could we even understand the concept
of potential defeat. You have this wonderful opportunity: the
thrill of entering into the defeat or success of your realm.
Putting it in more simplistic terms: in our world we have no
real gambling odds, we know the outcome. For you there is the
thrill and excitement of success. Little do any of you realize
that your success is indeed guaranteed, provided the struggle is
congenial, honest and well-meaning.
Oliver: Yes, one of the most enlightening encouragements have
been when our teachers told us that the outcome is assuredŠ I
would like to ask a question for my transmitter-brother here,
who has been struggling a bit in trying to get to know his
personal teacher. Do you have any access to that information and
can verify or correct the name for us?
AHBARON: You must be referring to your brother Richard.
(Oliver: Yes, the brother in my presents.) Ah, Richard has not
yet chosen to have a personal teacherŠ (Oliver: He has not
given permission?) You are correct, better put perhaps, he is
not been ready or readied himself. We are not concerned. Your
timeframe is so brief. Don't forget what a very brief time
Richard has been in Costa Rica, and he has built his own house
with his workers. Not that he was too busy to choose a teacherŠ
Oliver [laughing]: I was just going to say thatŠ
AHBARON: Šbut, dear Oliver, he needs time. He had once put out
an offering-an interest in a Teacher known as Perona. He still
has not got the name correct. We are not concerned, whether she
or he be Perona or Paloma-she is there and willing to work with
your brother Richard, if he should wish to invite her back in
the realms of his conscious and subconscious. We are many
waiting, but we are not anxious-don't be so foolish as to think
that we are anxious. We applaud Richard's for his patience. We
know that the time will come. It is not that Richard is not
consulting with us. In his own way he talks to many of us, but
as far as a personal teacher, over or above the guides that he
already has contact with, there is no rush. We have time. He has
time. You have time. Be wise and wait.
Oliver: Your answer satisfies my curiosity, and I gather it
will satisfy Richard when he gets to read itŠ Ahbaron, we have
been putting some effort into learning how to pray more
effectively. A young woman wrote to us and asked to petition
that a fishbone be dislodged from her throat without a scary
surgical procedure. She had read one of the transcripts with
Christ Michael and she asked us to pray for her. Can you teach
us more about effective prayer for help from the heavenly
helpers, teachers and guides, or even Christ Michael himself? We
know a few things of what not to do. Our petitions should not be
selfish or ask favors for ourselves over others. To actually
come together to pray either at one locations or when we are
spread all over the world, I feel we know too little. What would
you want to tell us about the most effective ways for us to
pray?
AHBARON: My friend I offer you this encouragement. I know of
very few people who have died from a fishbone in their throat,
this is a very rare occurrence. There is discomfort, of course,
in the agitation of an obstacle caught inside a tube or muscle.
Your prayers have already been heard. Your petitions are being
considered. We need time to put things together. Your celestial
guardians are well aware.
This young lady, Mara, has many people acting in her interest. I
can tell you that we know the doctors that are working for her.
They are competent, they know their technology well. Of course,
there is a misfortune in the suffering and the discomfort of
what this young woman is feeling currently, but the doctors are
well aware of their options. Trust in your own species. We will
guide them when the time comes to remedy the discomfort. We will
be there for whatever operation and whatever technology will be
necessary. But I tell you truly as your Teacher, you must
understand that we are not omnipotent.
What we see in finite time and space may be perceived as
accidents, but in the eternal there are no accidents. We do not
fully understand the juxtaposition of the finite to the
infinite. We understand statistics, we understand errors. Rest
assured that this lady is not in great danger. There will be a
day, not in the far-distant future, where she will have totally
forgotten about fishbones. She will most likely be enjoying a
fine dinner of fish and not the slightest thought about the
bones within. This is just a matter of time and of patience.
Your science knows much about healing. Have faith and she will
have faith, and all will be well.
Oliver: Thank you, Ahbaron. I gather that you will tell us more
about effective personal or group praying in the future. I want
to be patient. We have been going on for a long time. You said
that our prayers have been heard already. We know, that we do
not increase our effectiveness through repetition of prayers,
because we are being listened to. We are being observed. We are
being guidedŠ
AHBARON: My brother Oliver, we and the other celestial hosts,
enjoy so much the reminders that you are concerned for the
welfare of your brothers and sisters. Be ever mindful that
whether you speak the prayer or whether you think the wish, good
intentions are never turned away. (Oliver: Wonderful! Yes!)
When you are about to enter your nightclass, always enter your
prayer thoughts upon those upon you wish to offer your well
intentions for healing, be it spiritual or physical. A single
thought is like the light of a single candle. Every thought of
good intention brings forth a greater light and a greater
potential.
You do not always have to seek group prayer unless it is
opportune, but only to pass the word to others to offer their
intentions. If your intention comes in at 3 on a Friday, and
your brother's intention come in at 2 on a Saturday, and a
sister's intention comes in at 6 on a Monday, all these
intentions are gathered into the present. Each intention is a
concern for us. It is our responsibility as heavenly servitors,
and all members of the Cosmos, to be concerned and appropriately
aware within the Plan of the Heavenly Father and of your
Planetary Prince. Trust in our fulfillment of your wishes and
intentions. What you can not see, we can see. We can see a
greater picture. The Will of the Father will always persist
through your prayers, and your prayers will adjust favorably to
the Will of the Father.
In finite time, my sons, there will be accidents. Prayer is a
corrective action. Prayer corrects the apparent errors of finite
time and space. This is truly not an instant process. We can not
delegate to you in terms of your time frame and relative
perspective the energy, the effort, the accumulation of action
necessary to stir corrective changes. We can not give you
precise measurements, but we can assure you that there will be
actions of your celestial hosts and that there is always
sustenance available. Through prayers, collectively or
individually, we are reminded of our duties. Within the
limitations of finite time and space we ask that you pass your
recommendations and your petitions through your heart to us.
Nothing, no good intention, nothing that is good and
well-intended will be cast aside. All will be stored in memory
for the Ancient of Days, the memory of the collective Cosmos,
the memory of the Will of the Impartial Father. So it shall be
written to eternity, so it shall be done in God's Will.
Be, therefore, ever thoughtful of those in need. Every thought
of good intention offers a prayer of light and life. By giving
your light and your hope, you are adding to the petition of
life, you are adding to the petition of help for spiritual
growth.
We also are mindful of your dear sister, Susan Kimsey. Your
petitions, and the petitions of your brothers and sisters, are
being well listened to. We can not ultimately tell you, my
brothers-and Michael is with me-he tells me that we can not
ultimately give you a decision, which is truly always in
accordance with the Plan of the Father. But I may tell that your
sister is always well taken care off. Her soul shines brightly.
Oliver: Thank you, Ahbaron. Your words were most enlightening
and answering to my concerns for Susan [Kimsey], and my wish to
better understand our role in praying. We are so very grateful
for your illuminations. I wish to thank this transmitter for the
attention spent with you until all concerns of the day were
expressedŠ [laughing] and tomorrow our minds will make up
moreŠ
AHBARON: You, my brother-and my brother, Richard-you are most
welcome. You have been a trusting and loyal friend, Sir Oliver.
Come anytime and enjoy my lessons, and to teach me as well. We
Teachers learn from you and your species. We have not had the
occasion to experience an experiment such as you are going
through. We enjoy watching your risk-taking. We enjoy your
humorous struggles, and we also learn. We so much enjoy your
company and we wait regularly for your visitations with their
request for teaching and sharing. So, we too, thank you, my
younger brothers.
So, I Ahbaron, and my attendants, we will
take our leave and prepare to work with the others. We thank you
in parting. You are blessed, my sons, I bid you farewell for
now.
