*	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.
