TEACHER: MACHIVENTA

T/R: RICK GILES

Machiventa: Welcome to this circle of souls, I am Machiventa. You who have
accepted fully the reality of your sonship, your daughtership in the family
of God are awakening to the supreme opportunity. That opportunity is the
lifetime effort to demonstrate the goodness of God that dwells within. You
exemplefy the beauty of spirit and to reveal the truth of your relationship
with God such that all creatures who interface with you are given the
opportunity of realizing this for themselves, a child of God who sets the
will to revealing the Father as our Michael son so demonstrated and likewise
encouraged of you.

You are engaged in a twofold unfoldment. The first is your personal
ascension, the undertaking of the elevation of awareness, the cultivation of
love and the transformation of your faith of one who accepts sonship to one
who resides thusly in truth, in fact. Your second mode is that of the active
demonstration of the grace of God. Oh I have dwelt among your kind and I
fully understand your honest humility as you feel that your flaws hinder
such a gesture as revealing the grace of God.

Ever remember that your physical form and your mental circuitry are but as a
glove over the hand of God, your indwelling spirit. Yes, you may have a few
holes in your fingertips, or a run thread, but the Father nonetheless dwells
within. Yielding to his prescense and will gives you the power of divine
energy Father will move. Accept your relationship as easily as the young lad
accepted his friendship with Jesus and insisted on a walk in the hills with
the creator of a universe.

The compassion of God for his creature is deeper than your deepest oceans.
In your difficulties it is good to seek assistance from the divine
counselor, but realize also that you are assisting spirit when you willingly
give mind and body and heart to the manifestations of truth, beauty, and
goodness. It is high time that Urantia as a culture develop more deeply and
profoundly and assuredly the awareness of the divine family to accept ones
spirit position.

Father calls you his child, therefore do not contradict him by refusing to
accept it. Dwell in worship as though upon his lap, as though in the arms of
Mother Spirit. You have accepted and entered into an eternal relationship,
one that began when Father bestowed your personality into your current
physical form and one that matured when you realized this truth. All else
that transpires in your life, the further harmonization of your creature
nature with the divine nature within you, is your most important and
profound undertaking.

One who resides on the isle of Paradise, there is ever the condition of
fraternal harmony and the luminosity of Deity is everpresent and never
missed. You my young fellows are far from this universe central mansion. Who
but you will be the everpresent reminder of the divine light to those in
need. Who but you will affirm the fraternity of all creatures. This is your
supreme opportunity for you know this significant relationship. In
partnership with God all things are possible.

Though I approach you by way of words, I am in touch with your souls, I
perceive their radiance. You are my brothers and sisters. Michael is our
ever constant source of inspiration for he took on your form and my form
that he may know in experience our orientation, our hopes, our struggles. We
can ever be assured that he will reside with us. I am willing to receive
your questions at this time. Thankyou for hearing my address.

Q: Why is it on various planets that many who know our Father and discern
his will refuse to allow themselves to be led into the ultimate adventure of
becoming the servers of all as opposed to just merely existing? What is that
great difference from those who have that great burning desire?

Machiventa: Those who accept the will of the Father and acknowlege their
relationship with Him have taken the first step of faith and on a world
constrasted with good and evil, there resides the potential to draw away
from the environment and others in order to safeguard this fledgling
understanding. Tonight I have encouraged you towards the second step, the
stage of full acceptance by activating your entire being, by energizing
yourself through service and union with spirit.

It is difficult to change the mind from one unworthy to one qualified. One
is right to be concerned for ones abilities, but one must always rely upon
the Divine Presense to go before you and to prepare you before your service
undertaking. Thus the question asked by the natives of Havona, and it
pleases these high beings to witness each one of you stepping forward and
accepting this supreme opportunity.

Q: Concerning the rapid developments occuring the second revelatory
announcement and others since the circuits have opened fully, I sense
something is going on on this planet that is moving to a critical mass
situation and or Michael and the correcting time participants feel that
these issues must be developed promptly in order to take advantage of
certain developments that will aid this unfolding upon this planet...just
and observation on my part.

Machiventa: Your observation is properly aligned. We have turned up the
voltage. At one time under quarantine, spirit lapped upon you shores as the
small waves of a lake, now we crash upon your shores like the waves of an
ocean. You gathered in this mission are as the sand receiving this force and
you too now, are moving. You are the manifestation of our upstepping and I
sincerely [encourage you ?? ed. note] to go forward assured of our support.
....[noise]....upon Urantia has created conditions where you are ready as a
world, again the integration into the multiplanetary association of our
system, but as you know, Urantia lags in many civilized developments, so we
have enlisted many throughout this local universe to assist in the
accelerations of Urantian progress, not the wrongful acceleration of your
onetime planetary prince and acceleration beyond your abilities, this is an
acceleration up to your abilities inherent in you. Continue your discernment
my friend.

Q: Thankyou, I get the feeling that we are going through a winnowing process
for those with great faith, intention and commitment. These times of
temptation and trying times are actually times of great opportunity.

Machiventa: I heartily concur.

Q: As we are allowed to more fully become atuned with our indwelling Father
and receive the love of our universe parents, upon request, are we looking
at greater potential to have access to the cosmic mind, at least from a
planetary standpoint, as these outposts, these candles are distributed
throughout the planet providing more light as time goes on?

Machiventa: Yes, and to repeat the simple phrase of Jesus, "to those who
have, more shall be given". This having does require your willingness to
possess. The divine gifts are extended, but until you possess, you do not
have them, and that is your act of will, and when you establish these first
talents, indeed does the grace come upon you for deeper functioning.
Remember, as one who knows the relationship of creature to Creator, your
life functions in two ways.

One, the investigation and deepening of the reality and relationship of God,
and the other, the extension of your energies of your ministry service to
all other hungry souls, and when you acknowlege and activate yourself in
this second level, all divine energy and support is granted you, and as you
mature, greater intensities are upon you. While it is given, you must always
exert the experiential effort to be ready to receive, to establish a
proficiency, and to trustfully apply.

Q: This sounds a lot like the masters of the far east.

Machiventa: Those illumined souls that have gone before you did receive
truths and did embody that truth. There is a long trail of saints and sages,
who without their sharing, enlightenment would be lost and would need to be
rediscovered. It is to your benefit that those before you preserved their
enlightenment from which you have grown, I ask you to do likewise for those
who will follow.

Q: I have a person in our church who felt she had an androgynous beginning.
Can you share some light on that?

Machiventa: The human being is dual in function which you know as male and
female. You are taught of the indwelling presense of the Father on
Paradise, and as you deepen your understanding of deity, you know that God
transcends male and female. The divine prescense within you is not thus dual
in nature. As you draw closer in spirit, you will more identify with this

presense, and the avenue of your personality manifestation will be but a
mode for spirit to experience life in time and space. Identity with God will
transcend your gender, but your gender is a venue for the Supreme to
encounter finite existense and relationship.

Each personality has the potential to manifest the qualities defined by the
dual nature of the human creature. Much of the external aspects such as body
and its electrical configuration biases the need whereby your personality
exerts itself. Father transcends duality. The deeper your identification
with his presense, increasingly do you transcend as well and likewise
realize your ability to manifest in both modes available to the human
creature. I hope this addresses your question.

Q: Did you say to the human creature or to the spiritual creature? Does the
spiritual creature simultaneously exist as both male and female? ie. I
could be in my life as a female but my androgenous half could experience
spiritual manifestation and be working somewhere else?

Machiventa: You can, while being largely oriented one way, due to the
configuration of your physical form, also through your personal will,
express in the opposite form, be it male to female or female to male. It is
natural as you ascend to recognize the inherent qualities of a unified
spirit, and it is equally natural on a human level to manifest
configurations of your form. The dual nature of the human being and oneness
of spirit creates a threefold relationship, wherein experience reveals you
to God and reveals God to you.

Perhaps this further complicates things as we speak of spirit as one, the
human as dual in nature, and the threefold relationship. It is the
unification of these positions that brings harmony to the soul and peace to
the mind. Thankyou for your inquiries.

Q: Thankyou. I belong to a church which I love and the experience and
opportunities to worship there. I wonder what special blessing or upliftment
it might need to have strength, and what I might do to be of help?

Machiuventa: The institution of the church upon your world is a a wonderful
feature in the preservation of the discoveries of truth by many throughout
time, and it is the souls like yourself who have uncovered the advances in
the comprehension of truth that becomes the heritage of any religious
institution. You may hope and pray that those within your congregation
rightly discern living truth from mere custom and to preserve that truth and
also to pray that those who are led into deeper understanding are not afraid
to claim the safety of Christ. To be willing to go into uncertainty.

Q: Thats exciting, to be willing to go into uncertainty, while maintaining
our faith, or religion.

Machiventa: Yes, and follow the example of the Master, for he realized his
true nature, yet he willingly engaged the religious leaders of his time and
even fellowshipped with those deemed unworthy of such a priestly presense.
While it is good to seek the lost, it is also beneficial to fellowship with
your bretheren for they too are willing to grow and you have the opportunity
to nuture that growth, to demonstdrate the rewards of facing that
uncertainty and of coming to new realizations.

Q: Should I consider assisting them with the Uranita book or would that be a
little uncertain for everybody, or at least my bishop. I'd like to do that.

Machiventa: Search your soul for the confirmation from spirit of when and
where you may share this wonderful tool that you have. Give when the
receptivity is there. Do not cast your pearls recklessly, but when the light
of inquiry and intrigue and curiosity flickers, be not hesitant. Such an
undertaking is much like the planting of the small mustard seed that will
grow into the full stature of a mature tree, but it must be planted wisely
and nurtured compassionately. Give as it is beneficial to your fellow and
not merely as a wish on your own part. I thank you for working within your
congregation, to be a light that isn't under the bushel and to be a light
that is increasing in luminosity.

Q: Thankyou for your encouragement. I've been interested in Meher Baba and
the fact that he has been introduced here locally and I feel he is on track
with the Second Source. Am I on track, it that good?

Machiventa: This individual excelled in his identification with spirit. You
will be rewarded by studying his teachings. They were sharp, they cut away
the uneccesary.

Michael, I Machiventa address you, our Supreme Soverign, our honored
Master. These are your children. I am blessed to be in their service and
equally blessed to be in your service. We have shared in the unique
experience of living upon this world as they do now. May they deepen in
trust the knowlege that we know what they go through. May they ever accept
your abiding spirit and be it your will and your Fathers will and my Fathers
will and their Fathers will, I pledge to be of assistance to these, my
younger brothers and sisters. I will now draw close. Thankyou.
