Teacher: Rayson (TR, Daniel)
October 19, 2003
RAYSON: Testing, testing, testing. Is anybody hearing me? This is
Rayson. Is this mechanism working? (It’s working!) I know that I
am rarely one for levity, but today, I couldn’t help but overhear
your conversation earlier about your recording device, and it seemed
such an apropos parallel for our own communication with you through
the TR’s. And the TR is quite the opposite of a recorder, really an
active transmitter. So the symbols “T” and “R” are appropriate for
this activity. Levity aside for the moment let us continue, while
still appreciating the humor of life.
It is refreshing to be back here once again. During the interim, we
have been monitoring your Internet, your activities, and we record
that you are actively involved and thinking about the arrival of the
Magisterial Son. This is good. And we also invite you to read the
latter part of Bob’s lesson from yesterday that was recorded by the
Denver/Golden group. It too relates to the facets of the arrival of
the Magisterial Son. [Re: Denver TeaM, 10/18/03 (031018)]
Today, let us begin to look at a new parameter of this event, and as
a caveat, do not take this topic as evidence of the imminent arrival
of the Magisterial Son. We, at this level of the Teaching Mission,
are as ignorant about his arrival date as you are. Our perspective
and our attitude is that such knowledge is not a necessity to know.
Such knowledge could confuse our work, and [might] lead us to focus
our attention inappropriately or in an untimely way. This is one of
those “quantum physics” sort of environments, where thinking about
the topic changes the event that happens. In some degree, this is
actually what we desire to have happen by a greater dissemination of
the information and awareness that Monjoronson will be arriving
“sometime.” What we do hope for is the awareness by all within the
UB and Teaching Mission and related activities, of these activities
and the potential that this event will incur. Our assessment is
that this knowledge will aid the transition within these groups, and
they will act as a stabilizing influence in the larger societies
throughout the world.
Concurrent in the preparation for the arrival of the Magisterial
Son, the circuits connecting Urantia to Nebadon’s Administration and
to the universe within Nebadon at large, is proceeding and must be
more complete. Thus, those of you who are attuned to the morontial
aspects of your growth will feel an even greater upstepping of your
mortal/morontial energies. These will be latent and potential in
nature and only activated through your intentions and will to grow,
and the acceptance of growth that follows. Preceding this
upstepment, which will occur increment by increment, it is necessary
that you become more and more attuned to the morontial life, one
that is ethical, moral in nature, one that is in tune with the
intentions and work of your Thought Adjuster. If you were to
continue a life of unethical and immoral behavior, your upstepment
would not occur. Do not mistake this upstepment for an increase in
psychic abilities—they are not the same—but in fact are far larger
in reach and extent.
Only on a world such as Urantia, being a decimal planet and final
destination and debarkation of Michael, who arrived here on his last
bestowal and who departed soon to be the Sovereign of Nebadon—only
on a planet such as this could the upstepment and augmentation of
morontial energies to such degree as you will feel, or may feel, is
it possible for this to occur. Again, these energies, these
circuits are for the planet and they are outreaching to each
individual, even to those individuals who are not attuned to these
energies. Everyone is the recipient of these energies, but only
through their acknowledgment of God and their intentions for a
better life, of making better decisions, and of better service to
their mortal brothers and sisters will these energies be activated
within them, and then this will be gradual and incremental.
More directly for you who are here today and who read this, this
means that there is no “free lunch,” meaning that you must
demonstrate yourself [to be ready]. It is not a matter of being
deserving, but of being worthy, of showing your worth that is
commensurate to these energies. You demonstrate this through your
ethical, moral and service behaviors. We suggest, as all teachers
do, that you use and request the assistance of your Thought
Adjuster, Guardian Angel, Christ Michael and Nebadonia to assist you
in achieving these increments and for you to become a wise manager
and recipient of these energies. Thus, each of you has a potential
to increase your morontial abilities tremendously, before you depart
this planet.
We are now open for questions.
Student: It appears that Monjoronson has spoken to some other
groups, as well as to our own. Is this not indicative of his being
here now, or is this just an advance introduction?
RAYSON: It is part of the advance party’s preparations for his
actual arrival. It is much as you speak on a telephone;
historically, uneducated, primitive people thought that the
individual was right there inside the telephone, but that is not the
case. And so in this case, as he speaks to groups around the world,
to those associated with The Urantia Book and Teaching Mission and
thousands of other groups, which are unknown to you, he is on the
“morontial telephone,” so to speak—he is not “here” yet. (Thank
you.)
Student: We were discussing with some friends about the
adjudication of Lucifer, and we were wondering whether Satan and
Calagastia were adjudicated and now cease to exist, and the
individual who asked us the question thought that perhaps Caligastia
was still on the planet, even if disempowered. Could you respond to
that please?
RAYSON: Certainly. The trio of Lucifer, Satan and Caligastia are
no more. Those decisions were made not long ago, in our time. Your
New Testament records that the “Prince fell from heaven,” and this
was his internment, his fall from grace, and his internment on the
planetary jail world; the adjudications have taken place. (Thank
you.)
Student: Monjoronson talked of the enhancements of our senses above
the five that we already have. He said that some mortals have the
genetically innate capability to receive up to nine, or even eleven
senses. He mentioned “remote viewing” as one of the enhancements of
sight, but what do the other ones, the six through eleven—what types
of senses can we look forward to there?
RAYSON: Answering this question is much like describing the color
of orange to a person who has always been blind—it is nonsensical in
many ways. It would be like science fiction in description. There
are psychic parallels and morontial parallels for the five senses
you have. You are also aware of the “sixth sense,” the intuition,
the knowing, the awareness; this is very real. Other senses would
be the simple one, the seventh—it doesn’t necessarily have a number
to it, is the knowing, seeing, understanding—and this is more than
intuition—of another as they come into your consciousness. There is
privacy in thoughts in the universe from one being to another,
though through the activities of Christ Michael, and through the
activities of reflectivity, even your thoughts are known. Many
beings above the level of morontial and spiritual are aware of your
thoughts—and they are not in judgment of them. In like manner, you
will become aware of another; it is much like reading the
registration history of an automobile that has been sold and bought
and repaired many times in its history. So too, when you come into
the presence of another, you will know them, you will know who they
are, their lineage, their growth, their difficulties and their
accomplishments. And these will simply be like reading a
resumé—they are cryptic headings, yet to be described in detail and
much feeling, by the individual in conversation. Does that help for
a bit?
Student: Yes, it does. It helps quite a bit, actually. Thank you.
Student: Rayson, I had an experience occur to me in community
development, where in the role as “Interim Head” of the
organization, I found that there was one person in the organization,
the Human Resource Director, who is the ears and eyes of the Mayor.
And pretty soon I could see that there was a split in the leadership
at the organization, myself being the Administrator, and this Human
Resource Director playing her role against me, through the Mayor. I
called a meeting of the three of us, that helped resolve the
situation, at least temporarily, but later in a meeting with all my
department heads, she blasted me—to which I did not respond—and then
the following business day, [I] met with my department heads and I
asked them what they thought of the meeting. I was about to proceed
with a group meeting, but I was “guided,” I felt, that I should do
this one-on-one, as you suggested we build community one-on-one,
with each of my department heads, asking what they felt about the
situation. And as it turned out, they wanted a meeting with the
mayor, [where] they expressed their feelings of how this Human
Resource Director had really betrayed the organization over the
years, and “straightened” the Mayor out as to what was going on. As
a result of that, there was a complete change in the energy: The
Mayor was highly supportive of me, the woman resigned some of her
supervisory responsibilities, which were not working very well for
the organization, and things got on an even keel. I feel that this
was a demonstration of what you described earlier, as building
community one-on-one. Would you care to comment on this?
RAYSON: With delight! You are effectively experiencing community
building; you are a community builder, and you are building
community one person at a time. You are demonstrating a model for
your subordinates, your department heads, to follow with their
supervisors and their employees. The influence of community is very
powerful; we are pleased to see the results of the application of
the principles you have heard. You are the credit for this, not us.
The lessons have been there all along. We would encourage you and
reinforce you to share the ideas of community building with your
department heads and the managers and supervisors. You could do
this in a group, as information and for implementation; you could
assist them to do this within the context of their own areas of
expertise and responsibilities. Do not be shy about the worthiness
of these ideas—these are not ideals—these are ideas for
implementation, which hopefully will lead to an ideal situation,
[an] environment for growth of individuals.
This is an empowering situation for empowering to you, the mayor,
and your department heads. This is a wonderful example and we
desire that it not be forgotten, and that it be used, again and
again. You will find that this is a very simple process; one
individual to another is excellent. Always remember that this will
only work with individuals who are ethical, moral, and who are not
cynical or bitter and do not hesitate to empower others
appropriately. Those who are self-seeking, arrogant, egotistical,
and who seek power will find this will not work well. And if they
do, they will soon be uncovered as to their intentions. Make clear
in your instructions that their “intentions” must be very clear.
Intentions lead to goals; intentions are interior while goals are
exterior in nature. Does this help, and does this give you any
further guidance? (Yes, it’s a big help. Thank you!) You are
welcome.
Each of you is seeing and some of you are actually participating in
new areas of integration, application and participation by us. You
are co-creative individuals; you do not necessarily have to
intentionally seek out co-creative environments or activities, but
these will come to you; they will come to your mind. Be attentive
and attuned to your inner guidance, to listen as our dear brother
here did, and to discern what should be done and what could be done.
Student: Rayson, I have a question. My studies of zero-point
energy research have led me to suspect that the so-called “sea of
energy” that the researchers are tapping into is actually of the
Unqualified Absolute. Am I on the right track?
RAYSON: Yes, as far as you have discerned. (Thank you.)
Student: When Monjoronson was talking with us, he said, “Never
before has a world been reconstructed through co-creative
participation of the mortals who lived there.” Is this being done
only on Urantia, or is this for all the planets that were isolated
from the Lucifer Rebellion?
[Daniel: He says he has a “qualified” answer!]
RAYSON: This aspect is particularly being applied to Urantia
because it is a decimal planet, but primarily because it is the
“world of the cross” and because Michael said he would return here,
which he surely will, and which he has never said before. Other
planets in the quarantine have the option to do this. For some, it
would almost be a step backwards, as they are well into the
rehabilitation stages. Only the most damaged planets are being
considered for this work, for it truly is “work,” for mortals must
strive to willingly, intentionally, participate with unseen beings.
This is a high-risk activity. The down side is that many mortals
not only “may” but “will” choose not to continue. Many mortals may
and will choose not to participate. Many mortals will neither
choose nor participate, but stand on the fence with the potential
that they will be lost, not making a positive or constructive
decision once they are on the mansion worlds.
This is a reclamation project; metaphorically, a “hurricane” has
devastated this planet. Floodwaters have inundated the low lands;
destruction of life, moral life, is everywhere. Only a few
survivors will pass through successfully. That is a metaphor for
our observations of your planet. Literally, there will be
horrendous losses of souls, who will not pass on successfully into
the mansion world life. The metaphoric description in the New
Testament of those individuals who are “out in the fields” where
some will pass on and be gone—same thing for those in the kitchens
and houses and in the market place—many people will “disappear,” so
to speak. Very few will successfully live and make decisions that
will support an afterlife and its continuance. Many will even be in
unbelief after they pass on and awaken in the resurrection halls.
This is not an experiment on this planet; this is not a trial run;
this is a last stand, a tremendously heroic example to other Creator
Sons in the Grand Universe, who may experience rebellions in their
own local universes. This process, this Correcting Time is being
watched, observed, and appreciated all over Orvonton and in the
Halls of Reflectivity in Paradise/Havona.
For those at such a distance, your time is like a videotape in
fast-forward motion, without skipping any scenes. We see this in
much slower detail; we are fascinated! We know that others
throughout the universe are fascinated as well. So where it is not
worthy—in accounting terms of souls—it is not applied. Thus many of
the worlds in quarantine are not experiencing the co-creative
process for correction. This sounds rather grim, does it not? Yet,
the upside of this is the development and growth of agondonters,
such as yourself, with remarkable—truly outstanding—abilities,
experiences, [and] capacity to express these in your afterlife, when
you are finaliters and agondonters in Havona, and even long before.
You of Urantia, who are successful, will be held in great esteem,
and given great regard by your peers. And though you are all equal
in your rights and privileges in the universe, you know as well as
we that your skills will be recognized when others come into your
presence. You will be immensely satisfied with your history, from
your travels from this mortal world to your status as finaliter
agondonters. I will never have that distinction, so I am in great
admiration of your status now, and your courage to move forward to
become finaliter agondonters from Urantia. [Ed. note: This was said
with much emotion.] That is why—one of the reasons why—Christ
Michael has made such an immense effort to help you achieve that
status. Not just you, who are participants of the Teaching Mission
or readers of The Urantia Book, but everyone who comes from this
planet has the same possibility of achieving that end. That is why,
when you go about your work on your world, it is not necessary that
a person really have a religion, but a sincere regard, respect, and
love for the Creator, knowing that their existence would not be
without a Creator, and that they aspire to embrace their Creator in
that sometime future era in eternity. Other questions?
Student: Wow! Thank you Rayson, that was wonderful and very
encouraging. I really appreciate it!
Perhaps some of that is related to this idea—Mother Nebadonia has
been preparing us to be stable anchors in the midst of “disruption,”
and refers to “the times of disruption.” I know some of this will
be due to changes in general, but is she referring to anything
specifically that you didn’t just address?
RAYSON: Yes, there will be religious chaos.
Student: There will be, or is? (Group laughing.)
RAYSON: This era pales now in comparison to what will occur [when
the Magisterial Son arrives], but there is hope because there is the
thread of what you would call “Divine participation” evident that
cannot and will not be able to be refuted without absolute denial of
the apparent. And there will be those who deny the existence, the
apparent and the appearance of a Magisterial Son, one who comes from
what they call “heaven,” some place other than this planet. For
those, as I have said and others have said too, for those who
believe, their old beliefs will be thrown into chaos, and they will
lurch through their belief structures painfully grasping at old
beliefs like a climber grasping at rocks and limbs as he falls down
a slope. And the way through this is to simply let go of the rocks,
the material church, its material beliefs, and reach out to Christ
Michael [have faith] and almost walk on water, as Peter had hoped to
do in his dream. Only faith and belief will assist those
unbelievers, even though they will have a Material Son to look to,
to know that their new beliefs are firm. The utterances, the
assurances that he will give, will be the same as Christ Michael
gave when he was Jesus, “Look not to me but look to my Creator. I
am simply the voice. I am in your wilderness, and I will show you
the way out.” Does that answer your question?
Student: Yes. It’s almost kind of exciting in a way. I hope I’m
still around to see all that happen.
Student: Was that a Material Son, or a Magesterial Son that you
were referring to?
RAYSON: A Magisterial Son made material. (Thank you.)
Student: It sounds pretty scary too!
RAYSON: Yes, it will be scary.
Student: When I was just a boy, I used to fantasize about what it
would be like to have Jesus in the flesh to help guide me, to be my
friend, just really to stand in his presence and soak up his glory.
(Rest of statement inaudible.)
RAYSON: Were you to actually meet Monjoronson, you truly would feel
like a little boy again. You will know what and who you are, as
well as you will know what and who he is. It will be palpable. And
the sincerity of that contact will be undeniable. You have little
awareness of what it is like to meet such a powerful individual, and
to know—truly know, to feel, and to be filled with assurance, and
more than the assurance, the true knowing that this individual
beside you, in front of you, has no guile, no self-interest, no
agenda for your life, no desire to take anything from you, no desire
to place you anywhere that would put you in harm’s way. But you
would have the feeling, the awareness, shot through your whole being
and consciousness that this individual has only the best intention
in mind for you, and that you are safe, you are secure, your
vulnerability is protected, and that you can make any decision you
wish and it will not be usurped by this individual. That is the
scary part: that you are totally responsible, totally accountable
for your life.
Student: Sounds like a profound respect.
RAYSON: Yes. Each of us strives to emulate that ultimate respect
for you, each individual, as does Michael and the Magisterial Son,
his staff, Nebadonia and her staff. The only way through this
“scared” aspect is to “risk” surrendering to your Creator, to your
Thought Adjuster, seeking guidance from Michael, from Nebadonia,
from all their staff in Nebadon – yet, never abdicating your
self-hood, but co-creatively designing your life and its growth with
your partners. You will not escape this world or your morontial
existence, without the responsibility of making decisions for your
life, for its goals. You must risk setting goals on the material
world, with assurance that your co-creative partners will assist you
to fulfill all of those with the highest intentions and ends. The
way is the afterlife, and forward to finaliter agondonter status, is
assured one decision at a time. Only you can make those decisions,
but know that there is a Universal assistance to help you.
This has been a rather weighty discussion today, has it not?
Students: It’s been great! It’s wonderful!
RAYSON: You are envied by millions, trillions of citizens, on
millions of worlds, by the challenge of making decisions. You live
on the edge of the envelope of the spiritually existent necessity to
make decisions. Blessings to you. We wish you well all through
your life, on this world, on the next, and on the many thousands you
will visit. Good Day. (Group gives thanks.)
