Theme: Living the Morontia Life

Friday, June 18

*	Linel (Thea TR):  Greetings, this is Linel.  Brothers and sisters, beloved
students, friends, we welcome you here today with great joy, because your family
bonding has approached what we might call a density to attain the next bigger
direction.  You have come in a spirit of love and family that is exactly the
thing we wish to teach.  You are living morontia life to the best of your
ability
in the material life of Urantia, and you are starting to know the joys, the
power, of love.
	When you come together for these occasions, the synergy of all of you
together, the way that the patterns of each of you combine with the patterns of
each of you build.  They create a small, partial sample of what it means to
evolve the Supreme.  You know and feel this without necessarily always knowing
what it is, but when we use the word "family" remember that the ultimate family
is the Supreme Being.  So, even as you make your contributions on an individual
level, you make yet something more when you build together here with the love
that you have for one another and the love of God that comes through you and
weaves that vast web of the most important circuitry of all: love.  God is love.
	This image is so large it is difficult to bring through your human minds. 
You have the capacity to create from the cores of your beings your portions of
universe development, your shared understanding of the Father's way, weaving
together the many different understandings you have into the beautiful blanket
that represents your collective family.  Each of you is a strand; each of you is
a gorgeous color.  There will come a time when you look back and you see
what you
have woven, for growth, as always, is not so conscious in the moment that you
attain it but is clear when you look back and see, as you have said today, how
far you have come, and how far you have come together; for it is true in our
earliest days with you these things would not have been possible, not in the way
that they are now.
	The Father's love is the most exciting adventure in all of time and
eternity.  As you know this and as you expand together on this journey the held
hands clasping making the ring you know that you walk where you are meant to
go. 
We, the teachers, have a privilege of serving you, have a privilege of being
friends with you, that you will not understand the import of to us until much
further ahead, for we are all family.  As you bond with one another, you bond
with us also through you.
	We are here in numbers today that you might not believe, and our love is
with you.  As I have said many times, our love, which you can perceive, is pale
in comparison to the love of the Father.  It surrounds you with the joy you are
still struggling to take but which will be increasingly yours.  Reach for the
joy.  Share it with one another.  Share it in each other's eyes.  Spend this
time
loving one another and talking and planning and working forward for all that you
truly desire.
	I will step back now, but I will be with you from the deepest of my heart
during this time.  Thank you.

*	Elyon  (Jonathan):  Greetings.  I greet you today with joy; I am Elyon.  It
is always a delight to be in the company of those I love and to be functioning
for Michael, providing a service of upliftment, hoping always that you each
derive meaning from my visits.  As I have often told my local group, I grow
through my association with you all.
	We each have lived a single mortal life, but in my realm, the morontia
realm, we are being taught how to live each others' lives through fellowship,
through sharing, through association in projects, and in prep.  It is wonderful
to witness you making these same efforts even while on your first world.  I
would
like to draw from the beauty that surrounds you to make comment about the
morontia life.
	Your days, your weekly schedules, can seem hectic, much like the rapids of
the river nearby, lots of commotion, lots of splashing about.  Each of you
can at
times feel like one of those single droplets of water being tossed here and
there, sometimes being hung up on a branch until you are able to return to the
river.  Sometimes you feel you are tossed upon a rock and facing the threat of
being evaporated.  But on your journey you come to those quiet pools where you
realize that you have friends all about you who feel the same way and who can
provide comfort and to whom you may provide comfort.
	I encourage you to perceive yourselves as morontia moisture.  The world is
dry, and sometimes you, in applying your morontia moisture, find it difficult to
soak into this parched world.  It is with a fine, gentle mist that you can
penetrate that hardened crust, not the full force like a fire hose, for that
will
only tear deep and cause damage.  But that gentle misting will bring healing to
others as it will when you apply the same for yourself.
	Each of us will enjoy soaking with you today and tomorrow and the next.  We
celebrate greatly your keenness towards comprehending your future, your morontia
life that has begun now and will, as I can vouch, be with you for many ages. 
Thank you for hearing me today.
*	unidentified  (Gloria):  ...in that they (deer) have come into this village
and at times made themselves a pest, but they are beautiful to look at and give
many people pleasure.  They can also give those who are living here displeasure
in that they can become very pesky in their annoyance of eating the shrubs and,
as some of you witnessed, the leftover food on the deck.  They have, however,
been able to infiltrate into this populated area. They make themselves quite at
home by not pushing too far and make  (themselves) available to those who have
never seen deer before, the tourist population that come in to view their
beauty. 
They do not come in to convert anyone to their ways; they simply are who they
are.  They come in and do what deer do.  They do what people expect them to do,
the natural order of deer.  It deserves taking a look at, in that they are a
very
natural product of the planet, and you know they are going to eat the shrubbery
if they are near your house.  They are unspoken creatures in that they have a
stillness about them.  If you would but sit and observe their actions, you can
glean the stillness and bring it into your hearts.
	You, yourselves, can go into villages and be who you are and through your
lives and your actions do as the deer and know that you are in the human
form and
that you will be pests at times, that people will not understand you, that
people
will tromp on your boundaries, infringe on your territory. You may feel that you
want to eat their shrubbery.  But at the same time you can keep the
stillness and
the quietness.
	Know that through the ego you can become territorial, but it can be
acceptable if you treat it in the proper way and not infringe upon others, but
live side by side in the best way you can, without creating your lights so
strong
that the others shy away.  Rather just be one with wherever you are.
Observe and
notice and realize what you can do.  Do not make a spectacle but fit in and
blend
in the best way you know how.  At the same time do it in a way that you are
noticed from the beauty of your lives and not from the shrubbery that you may
eat!  Become tolerant of others as those who live here have become tolerant of
the deer.  All can live in the most natural state available within this
beautiful
setting, and it all works together.  Just observe this in the next couple of
days
with the quietness to see how it all fits together.
	There are may activities going on in this small town and many different
people and many different energies.  In the middle of it all are these lovely
little deer who quietly come in and maybe get a nibble or two and quietly
leave. 
They do not make a disturbance and are special to all in one way or another.
	That is all.
*	unidenified  (Gerri):  Hello, everyone.  Many beneficial words have been
spoken, but I must express briefly the joy that we teachers have in
participating
in your gathering of like minds.  This is truly a beautiful setting.  It is new
to some of us.  We have renewed acquaintances with many of our coworkers.
We try
to express to you the pleasure that we have to be in this surroundings of
striving mortals by attempting to understand mortally the master's words and to
live those words to the best of your ability and with the deepest feelings of
your heart.  I wish to express to you our gratitude, the thrill of our
partnership, and the expression the best way we know how of our love for all of
you.  Thank you, my friends.
*	Michael (Delores):  Greetings.  It is I, your sovereign Michael.  I would
not let this time pass without greeting you, my dear lights of heart, my dear
hearts of light.
	When I told you, "in my Father's house are many mansions", I did not just
mean it was the mansions you would pass into beyond this planet, because there
are many mansions that exist right here in the world in which you live.  To
us it
is not so differentiated one planet from another, one phase from the next,
because there are pockets of mansion worlds that exist on many levels all the
time.  It is not that you live altogether in one world here now and then awaken
on many mansion worlds later.  But you are now at this time on this planet
living
in many, many different degrees, qualities, lifestyles of morontia life.
	I have walked among you, and I know you, and things have not changed that
much since I was here.  There is much that happens that none of you knows.  We
keep it for you.
	You have much to look forward in the future learning about yourselves, and
to some it will be a great surprise.  But you, my beloved friends, have
responded
to the call of love that we brought, and there is none more precious to our
hearts than those who hear and those who are willing to walk and grow and learn
to see what it was and what it is that was created here, the world in which you
live.
	It is not easy, I tell you, it is not easy, because I know that, because I
did it.  I awoke in your world; I grew from a babe.  It was already broken.  It
was not much different then than now.  There were wars.  There were all the
levels of disfunction.  There were all the morontial pockets.  My spirit being
poured out on all flesh of course made a great difference, and you are blessed
with that where I was not.
	Know that I love you; I foster you in all ways, and I am so very proud of
the love that you dare to risk in my name.  I honor you all for the eyes
that you
continue to seek, for the hearts that you feel, for the selves that you hug to
yourselves.
	It is connected, the morontia life and this planetary life.  As we continue
to grow through the years, you will begin to realize more and more the strength
of its entwining and the power and the love of its nurture.  This could not have
been created without your help; it would have happened eventually somewhere
slower.  We did not know it would work so well.  We have you to thank.  And we
walk beside you, my teachers and I, and we rejoice.  We gather you to our
hearts,
and we thank the Father with you.  Be here now in love.  We walk in love
together.
	I am with you through this conference and will speak more any time you ask
me.  I love you all.  I embrace you all, and I thank you all.  Good bye for now.


Friday Night

*	Rantarason  (Sheila TR):  This is your brother friend Rantarason.  I wish
to thank you all for the great effort,  concentration, the determination
together
again, this extended family.  Perhaps at these moments at these gatherings you
can begin to get a glimpse of the meaning, "we are one".
	As you all live scattered you at times carry with you the illusion of
distance, but I assure you greatly that your bond, your love for one another,
your desire and yearning to learn from one another, erase all reality of
distance.  Simply put, you have drawn the strings closer now.  Yet all strings
are attached to the center, our Father.  You have the ability to stretch out
without fear of disconnection.  You have the ability now to know that the same
source ties together your lines of communication morontially.  Your vision as it
awakens will tell you more clearly that this distance is being erased.
	When in need for one another you simply reel in closer one another.  As
this happens you at the same time reel yourselves closer to the Father.
	Feel the strength you are acquiring from this gathering.  Know that this
strength is the strength you take with you now as you reel out more line as you
return to your scattered places.  This is how you are one with one another.
This
is how you can trust your growth and the great benefits that your trials and
tribulations are having on you.  Because we have a greater understanding of our
connection to one another and to you, as well, we no longer are in need of this
divisional strain, for once you have come to the reality of your connection, you
will wonder why you ever considered anything other.
	There is much to be shared this weekend.  I urge each and every one of you
to be willing to share a moment with one another to exchange messages, to
rekindle this bond, to understand one another in this great and exciting
time.  I
send a personal string of love and gratitude to each and every one of you, and I
dearly hope that we each will have a personal bonding moment as well.  Thank
you.

*	 unidentified  (Simeon):  ...here taking a moment to introduce ourselves to
you this weekend, a vast host of spiritual beings either present or tuned in. 
These gatherings allow us the opportunity to see the more noble efforts of human
endeavor and action, as you are a pocket of spiritual striving upon this planet.
	In your diversity you have the capability to laugh, to be serious, have
heated discussions and differences; the opportunity to feel compassion, to
display your creativity, and to commune with spirit collectively such that
we are
able to, in a short period of time, recognize the potentials of your society, as
it should be commonplace, not perfect, but more community-oriented and
spiritually led and driven. 
	Evolving morontia culture is the manifestation of spiritual living into
every aspect of your existence, whether profound or mundane, the saturation of
your needs such that the overflow resultant from this fulfillment can embrace
society's idealistic longings with the recognition of personally satisfied
individuals who are engaging life, giving more out than is required to consume,
if you can understand this idea that personal satisfaction of need produces
well-being, and harmonious efforts result therefrom.
	You are not required to sacrifice for the world but to learn your worth in
the world such that you are capable of embracing every aspect of life,
recognizing increasingly divinity.
	Morontia living begins with a firm foundation.  When the core is healthy
then the focus can go to the arms, the appendages, rather than the internal
maneuverings and affectation.  In your communication with each other here
you are
working to find meaning.  Sometimes you simply enjoy the camaraderie.  You for
the most part do not have strong need to fulfill, and thus does your effort
reflect a growing morontial awareness.  These are the benefits of such
gatherings.  We encourage you to utilize these opportunities for your
benefit and
at the same time this evening we would like you to recognize that your spiritual
teachers are here not simply to observe but also to engage you as much as
you are
willing  to have us.
	A thought that perhaps you may consider: different methods of approaching
us in communication such that more of you can face these interactions.  Perhaps
trying new methods can also help to expand your awareness of possibilities with
ourselves.
	I leave you this evening and thank you for your attendance, as the hour is
getting later.  Our appreciation.
