* Parsonel (Jonathan TR): I introduce myself to you; I am Parsonel and
a midwayer.  I hold long-standing dedication to correcting this planet
after the disruption and wayward experiments all of which, while bringing
chaos to the preferred order of planetary events, have as time has
unfolded, created a remarkable world.  Urantia is extremely beautiful and
wholly unique.  While I am made aware of the conditions of other planets
and what the midway creatures of these other worlds experience, I have
come to greatly appreciate our team of midwayers and the humans who come
and so quickly go from this world.
You are to be congratulated for working with energy to make what is
for a physical creature a difficult stretch, to connect layers of energy
and allow them to have impact in your lives.  You are aware of physical
energy forms and have harnessed many of them.  You enjoy lighting when the
sun has set, because you know how to channel energy through electrical
form to create result.  While you develop the mechanism wherein the energy
may flow, your electrical circuits, you are fully aware that this energy
and the circuit itself are merely the means to another end, which is, for
example, to light a room, to cook a meal, to run an appliance.  That was
your intention.  So, the exercise you have just now undertaken is quite
similar to material conduits through which energy may flow.  You are
creating through your mind and your will and your creativity a form
through which energy may enter and be directed.  It is right for you to
direct that energy or for you to simply harness it, to incircuit it; but
not to use it serves no purpose.
I am close in kin to the human beings of this world, but you cannot
perceive my presence through your senses.  While you know that beings of
my order are described as existing beyond your range of vision, it might
be better stated that our energy presence is so expanded that you are
unable to perceive our presence.  Your senses pick up denser
conglomerations of energy.  If I condense the energy pattern that defines
my being, solidify it, I would come into your field of vision.  If you
were to take a cupful of beebees, they have weight and volume amassed as
they are.  They have presence; they appear as an object.  Now let's take
that cup of beebees and scatter them as far you can imagine.  To the
material eye that object does not exist, when in reality it is merely
expanded beyond the range of perception.  We midwayers are such to your
field of vision.
We are now undertaking as a corps of beings the training for
utilizing energy forms, energy structures, that are beyond the range of
midwayers.  It is through the training provided by those celestial
visitors that come to this world that we are gaining our understanding and
our skills to direct energy just as you are doing so at your level of
being.  The secret is to develop the ability to focalize, to condense, to
draw the energy closer, more tightly assembled, and direct it.  This is a
difficult task.  As I return to the cup of beebees, how difficult it is
now that they are scattered as far as you can imagine to draw them back
together.
You are aware of the phenomenon of a magnifying lens, how it can
collect light and focus it to such an intensity it causes combustion. 
Working in an energy field and circuit is undertaking the same principle
or property.  High spirit beings of Paradise origin to our view as
midwayers and human beings are so transparent, so rarefied, that we are
unable to sense their presence.  When a being of this order visits
Urantia, it comes with an entourage of focalizers who can indicate
presence, who can transmute the energy fields, condense them into the
morontia level of perception.  Then we can enjoy face-to-face contact. 
These intermediaries train such that they may perform such services.  This
is only the beginning of abilities that may be acquired as you ascend.
Often and typically the higher the being the less likely it will
self-condense, but the trend of most personalities is to self-expand, to
rise from the dense levels of material planes to the apex of spirit
reality, the Paradise level of spirit presence.  But there are those who
do have this innate ability to condense.  You know these as the descending
sons of God.   We were thrilled to witness the apparent disappearance of
our Local Universe Creator Son as he undertook his bestowal upon this
world.  All held their breaths as he appeared to disappear.  You can
imagine the excitement when we became aware that he had taken new form as
the baby Jesus.  That is a miraculous event to beings like us midwayers
who are oriented naturally towards growth and expansion.  We seek to
become like Michael and are baffled at the mechanisms and abilities within
an order of Creator Son that can reverse and become like one of us, even
one of you.  Therefore as you undertake this practice of energy collection
and focus, ever keep in mind the necessity of the presence of spirit
beings who can assist and amplify your efforts.
I told you that it is important to have a goal, a direction, a use
for this energy.  It is also important to perceive yourself as a dish, a
collection, like your satellite collectors.  But on a spiritual level
within your being you are open as an antennae collecting the energy that
is readily controlled by high beings.  Therefore, not only do you have a
target for the direction of your energy, but you have an awareness and a
focus upon the source of that energy, which ultimately is derived from
God.
While you undertake this development in your abilities as an
ascending creature, do understand that your forms through which you
transfer, channel, this energy may change.  Just as you began your
understanding of electricity with certain circuits, gauges of wires, and
electronic devices through which you accomplished goals, only to evolve
and discover micro-circuitry and finer forms of electrical work; so will
your mental constructs adjust as you develop a sensitivity toward and
application of this energy.
I am a midwayer of secondary status, brother of Sharmon, and I thank
you for receiving me today.

Evelyn:  I'm understanding that, besides what we do so far to imagine
this energy pole in the center of the group and a spinning at head level
and at heart level, to also visualize the source, a condensing energy
coming from Michael or Nebadonia or ultimately God.
If we are looking for physical changes, healings, should we visualize
a physical energy source like the Power Directors or something like that? 
Are there any specifics of our pattern so far that you would suggest
changing or adding?

* Parsonel:  By assembling yourselves in a group and undertaking the
collective conscious visualization you establish what may be likened to a
lightning rod.  Throughout a thunderstorm the energy is present.  When the
connection is made the lightning bolts, and it will do so wherever the
conditions are right.  By establishing this energy framework it is much
like erecting a lightning rod to draw the energy toward you.  You
understand that on Paradise spirit being and energy are indistinguishable. 
Way out here on the frontiers of space both midwayers and human beings
deal with a great gulf between dense matter and spirit being.  So the mind
becomes all important as a director.  So, I perceive this is the reason
for your question of how the energy may be directed; physical energy
toward physical problems as in healing, or should the energy be transmuted
to be useful in a psychological arena when one is troubled in mind and
soul?  While it is difficult to discern how to do this and how effective
you may be in transmuting and directing energy, I ask you to practice what
we practice, and that is to always know that God is energy and God is
spirit, one and the same.  This divine presence fully knowing as it is
will act in response to your faith and appropriately apply energy as
needed.
I will use another example of one of your material objects, the spark
plug.  Consider the central pole as the divine source of all energy and
consider the grounded pole your willingness, intention, desire, and
openness to receive the energy.  You may not have the power to draw the
spark, and you do not need the power, for the grounded pole merely needs
to be ready and receptive, and the divine central pole provides the power
that jumps the space and makes the connection.  So you may intellectually
desire to place energy appropriately and to use an appropriate energy
form, but take into account that all you need to really do is provide the
receptivity, and the divine energy will jump the gap and strike as needed.
I hope this helps.

Kirk:  It helps a lot.  Thanks.

Evelyn:  I understand spark plugs a little better now.

Tom:  Our faith is the ground, right?

* Parsonel:  That is an applicable comparison.
Let us stretch this example of the spark plug and place a little
metal object in between in the gap.  That little metal object not does not
have the same attractive abilities as the grounded pole does.  It is
suspended.  It has no faith.  By grounding yourself in faith you create
the potential to receive the power.  Along with faith is determination,
resolve; and herein enters the importance of decision making, for this is
how you establish your grounding which completes the circuit. 
Indecisiveness, uncertainty, cause you to disconnect from ground as well
as reduce your attractivity of the divine power.  It is better to believe
and believe wrongly than to not believe at all.  I must tell you that we
midwayers learned that lesson the hard way.
Tom:  The little metal object in the gap could be the disease or the
person in need of healing.  When the energy flows the disease is
dissipated.  Is that how it works?

* Parsonel:  I love how you are working with this example.  We desire
that healing be bestowed upon a fellow.  Let us call that little metal
object between the gap of the plug one's fellow.  Yes, you could desire
that this being move over to and connect with the divine electrode, but
for the force to flow in reality, this being needs connection with ground,
and the energy then snaps into them.  This stresses the importance of your
function in closing the circuit.  This underlines the value of telling
another you are praying for them; you make the ground connection to them,
and that groundedness allows for the displacement of the disease with the
healing energy.  God is all powerful and can jump the arc.  Your task is
to be grounded to receive the energy pulse.

Tom:  In a prior lesson on healing it stated the energy comes from
Father, through Michael, through the practitioner, and our job is to
provide a visible means of connection to Michael so the faith is activated
in the person to be healed.  He is grounded through us, completing the
circle himself, which is why it's important he is being prayed for.
What is the effect on people who don't know they are prayed for? 
Does it make the process more difficult or less effective?

* Parsonel:  The energy is not weakened.  However, the ease by which it
may be transferred is lessened.  I return to the principle that on
absolute levels spirit and energy are undifferentiable.  Adding the spirit
element to energy implies volition.  This energy we speak of is not
strictly, totally, mechanical in nature.  Will, the will to be healed, is
a vital element.  While another may not receive assurances of praying by
others for their well-being, their own potency of will can make that same
connection and close that circuit.  Since your mind levels rest so closely
upon your material stature, it greatly benefits you to receive word that
others are praying for you.  It bolsters your willpower.  You might say it
ionizes the air in the gap to receive ease for the reception of energy. 
The higher you ascend the more your mind levels associate with your spirit
reality presence, the more likely you are to directly receive and not
require mutual support and assurance.
As one who is familiar with the Urantia Papers, I remind you that you
ascend in faith.  As you ascend eventually your faith falls away and you
stand solely in truth.  While you live upon Urantia faith compensates for
the lack of comprehension of total truth.  As you grow truth accumulates;
faith lessens.  Therefore it is important here to assure one another of
mutual support, to rally together in hope, not necessarily at your house! 
[Tom lives in Hope, Idaho.]

Kirk:  The important thing is to become part of a group that grounds. 
It may never be proved to me that the energy is doing anything, but the
important thing is being part of a group creating the energy to heal.  I
may never see the result, because it is spirit and energy.  I don't have
that kind of vision, being mortal.

* Parsonel:  I understand your expression.  Let us return to the
lightning rod.  When the lightning bolts you see it; you see it strike the
rod.  But once it's grounded, where does that energy go?  This I trust
illustrates your comment.

Kirk:  I have to have faith God is taking care of where it's going. 
I don't need proof that it's all working correctly. 

* Parsonel:  Yes, rather receive the bolt and turn your attention to
receiving another bolt.

Tom:  We were talking about the  efficacy of prayer; someone who
knows they are being prayed for has a better chance it will work.  When
someone doesn't know we are praying for them would it be safe to assume
that energy directed toward that individual is in reserve until they wake
up to the fact that it's possible through their own prayer, faith?  It
doesn't dissipate if someone doesn't know about it, does it?

* Parsonel:  Your prayers are complementary to the one receiving that
prayer blessing.  An individual through faith alone may receive healing. 
An individual who comprehends that others' faith is also activated
strengthens the receptivity.  So, your prayers do accumulate that they may
complement and strengthen that individual's faith.  Also, your prayers
provide petition that we midwayers and the angel forces may present to
even higher beings as proof that we are requested to be assisting in the
healing process, that we are being asked to join the circuit.  While your
prayer may not directly impact the one for whom you are praying, it does
enlist and engage your unseen friends and strengthen the channel, put
greater charge upon the electrode, thereby when the faith of the recipient
reaches the critical point the energy follows.

Kirk:  Thank you.

* Parsonel:  I will withdraw from this connection and let you know as I
leave that Elyon has been in attendance with you and has enjoyed being in
a passive role witnessing your interactions.  I also tell you that while
you are graced with the attention of many beings, your group teacher Elyon
is very devoted to you and loves you deeply.  I look forward to my next
contact.

Group:  Nice meeting you.  Thank you and Elyon, too.  Say hi to
Sharmon for us.
