Topics: Learning about Your World, Growth and
States of Being, Vine and Branches,
Teachers: Light, Elyon, Michael

April 15, 2007

* Light (Kathy TR): I appreciate the
acknowledgment of my achievement as I am
attempting to learn about your world. I am in
changing capacity always, increasing my ability to
make connections with the other personalities in
the Monjoronson mission. It is my pleasure to
make this attempt to speak with you today.

* Elyon (Jonathan): I greet you, this is
Elyon. I will speak some regarding growth and
states of being.
You have expressed your fervor toward the
advancement of your souls, the deeper in-mergence
into the presence of the divine spirit and the
increased sensitivity to that connection
regardless of your activities. Urantia, the world
upon which you live, is a dimension of its own,
you have been taught, that of evolutionary worlds.
Those who are domiciled on the worlds of Mansonia
function in a dimension much different than your
Earthly estate. You might liken it to your
phonograph. Impressed into that disk is a song,
but it is impressed based upon the forecasted rpm
of that phonograph. You are in a sense impressed
with an rpm that is of Earthly life. So, if you
were to shift to a different speed, your song
would not sound the same.
In longing to attain a state of being
greater than your current Earthly standing, you
are doing well in fostering the aspiration which
leads to growth. This is an undertaking where you
are at the moment impressing your song into a new
dimension. But much of that is an investment in
your future lives. In order to verify that
accomplishment you are often in the position of
needing to practice patience, for it will require
a dimensional transition to experience that
attainment. However you are fully capable of
revealing yourself in your human form as a spirit
being and vibrating at an intensity by which
others will recognize spirit.
We have, in years past, discussed the
companionship of worship and service; worship
being the penetration into the arms of the Father,
the submergence of self into the Great One, and
service the expression of the soul of arms open to
help all you come in contact with. The two
functions are really the same. It is merely the
changing of your vibrational intunement, but it is
still the same energy expressed. This is why
Jesus said, “Whatsoever you do to the least among
you, you do so for me, even for Him who has sent
me.”
In your growth, your unfoldment into
morontia standing, you will be in a sense
impressing many records with songs of various
vibrational dimensions, and they will become your
catalog. As you enter into one state appropriate
to such an album, you will be able to then
experience that music at that speed. We today are
crossing a divide, and I at my dimensional
frequency must transmute into your realm by way of
a human contact, and you are the only means I have
of broadcasting my personality into your realm.
Each one of you is one of various speakers through
which I can express, and this is a small
expression that is mirroring the same
expressiveness of God. Take the accomplishments
of your growth and put them on your Earthly
phonograph at the speed appropriate to expression
that is recognizable and approachable by your
fellows.
What is not attained is the goal of your
spiritual growth, and that which is not attained
is not functional in your present state. So you
search and long and seek realization, but once
attained you have now a valuable asset, and that
asset, that talent, is to be multiplied. It is no
longer to be reached up for; it is to be given out
as. And that as is your state of being.
Aspiration leads the soul Godward, but expression
does lead God soul-ward, and that is even through
you to another who is in need, who does hunger for
the answer that is truth.
I will continue a bit more and add to the
subject a transitional function.
In your current era you have a rapidly
changing technological environment, and the media
upon which you hear music changes almost yearly.
That has created an opportunity for some to become
translators, to convert from one form to the newer
form. The song in itself is unchanged; the
expression, the medium through which it is heard,
has, and this is the case with eternal truth and
its revelation. So you are engaged with us in
this mission in the development of that ability to
convert the media that the truth can be re-heard
in its original form albeit in a different manner.
Our teaching staff has often encouraged you
to be brave in the realm of choice and intention.
We have done so because it will become even more
necessary for you to adjust yourselves that you
may function with the administration of this
planet and do so remaining contactable by your
fellows, remaining relevantly engaged, not aloof,
set apart upon a hill, withdrawn into the temple
of spirit. You can do this in stillness, but if
we are to bridge the silent gap between the Earth
activities of human beings and the morontia
movements of spirit we need you as that bridge.
Jesus often drew his apostles apart from the
crowds that they may regain spiritual strength in
the refreshment of worship and brotherly
communion. But far more often were they sent
forth to commingle with the many, and yes there
were triumphant times wherein they felt they were
doing the Father’s work and uplifting the souls
they came in contact with. But there were many
times when each one felt inadequate, discovered
their deficiencies in revealing the spiritual
truth they had come into contact. This experience
is of premium value, for one can be taught, as I
express to you today, and acquire perspective and
attempt to apply that understanding in life and
witness results. This is an acquired attainment,
but when you express yourselves with what you have
attained already and experience failure, or
insufficient results that you sought for, you then
are learning directly from your own being, and
this discovery gives a far greater strength. It
is benefited by comparison to the teachings of
sages, of those who are wise, for it allows you to
adjust in that comparison. But it also, in its
own right, anchors you in the assurance of an
attainment that you truly possess and not merely
put on.
In the far stretches of time upon the Isle
of Paradise you will see a legacy that was your
growth. That journey will be punctuated by states
of being, each one remarkable at its own level.
Each one without the other does not make the
continuum that is, or will be, your completed
growth. Each state has associative contact with a
higher and unattained state and a lower and
previously traversed state. That point is your
real work, your true ministry. By fully
appreciating and fully engaging in your current
dimensional framework you are qualifying yourself
for the next level of activity. Yes, it is good
to prepare for the next and higher function, to
investigate and discover what it is that makes
that level practical and attainable. But the true
preparation for the lift into that next function
is solid, stable, directed living in your current
state.
A swimmer will jump into the air to make a
dive, but that lift is temporary as he descends
onto the edge of the diving board and depresses it
a little further down only to be given the extra
boost of that spring up again to greater heights
before taking the plunge. This is how one grows.
This is how one enters into worship and into
service.
Thank you for receiving my comments. It is
ever a pleasure to engage with you, to share with
my Earthly kinfolk.

Paul: My soul jumps for joy when I hear the
word ascension. Could you give a little more
information on the ascension process?

* Elyon: The ascension inspires you because
it is the inherent will of God for your
personality. In the traversal of the matrix of
potential throughout the universe that becomes
your ascension path you encounter waystations. I
have likened this ascension to traveling up a
stairway. On each step is that plateau of
relative attainment and ease of travel. Soon
there is the rise to the next step, and there
comes with it the difficulty of lifting oneself
higher. It often appears insurmountable the
height to attain, but once you are over that edge
and on the next level there is the joy of being at
that state. So ascension will not be a smooth
continual upliftment. It will unfold in steps and
will appear stagnant, though in reality it is a
stage of maturation, not stagnation. Being fully
footed at one step assures your success of the
attainment of the next.
But this analogy is a limitation to the true
potentials of ascension, for I might point out
that the step you stand on is like you standing
before a great amphitheater or a cluster of
pyramids, the path of ascension is as wide as it
is high because the potentials in store for any
human being are virtually infinite. Jesus spoke
of the “narrow way”; he did so in reference to
your singular pursuit. All personalities created
by the Father of all personalities have to choose
the course of their unfoldment. Though one may
wonder that with such an expanse, such a landscape
through which to travel, that one would lose their
way. Hold fast in faith to the truth that the
spirit always will lead you for your benefit and
in full knowledge of your selfhood configuration.
I would clarify what that configuration is by
alluding to methods of travel, as some could
travel well across land, others more expediently
through water, and others can fly through the air.
You have a specific keying that makes you more
growth efficient in certain avenues, and spirit
will lead you that way. That is part of that
narrow path.

Paul: Thank you very much. It is a longer
path. At the same time when I think it’s stagnant
I look at it in a different way and it really
brings my perception around to the infinite ways
of looking at things.

* Elyon: You are welcome, and I would
continue a bit more with the notion of the
stairway.
When in that sense of stagnation, as you are
on the plateau of a step, you may address that
feeling by observing what on that level is still
in need of experiencing or accomplishing or
attaining to make you better capable of rising to
the next. That will help to set aside the
frustration in the sense of lack of movement as
you further refine your current state. But do
know that you may at any time when ready take the
next step, that as you climb stairs, you do not
need to place your foot at every square inch of
every step to make it to the next. This will
prevent the unfortunate stagnation of never
wanting to leave one level to attain the next.

* Michael: This is Michael, greetings to you,
my beloved. May I remind you of my parable of the
vine and the branches and cause note that the
fruit is borne at the tips and that the
nourishment is drawn from the trunk. Your teacher
Elyon often reminds you of the value of stillness,
for this is where you do draw your nourishment.
As you seek to enter into the heavenly kingdom in
fullness and glory, the true bearing of fruit is
at the extremities, that is, right where you are
today. Fruit is nourishment for another while at
the same time it is the avenue for the replication
of truth, the revelation of God, the promulgation
of spiritual realities. My universe is a vineyard
and there are great varieties of fruit-bearing
souls in this universe. I say that when I taste
of your fruit it is good, and when I taste of
another’s fruit, though different, it is also
good. I will in-fill you with spiritual
nourishment that you will bear fruit.
I give you my love. I share with you in
peace.

Paul: Would you talk about the upheaval
that is coming to Urantia?

* Michael: I have a few comments that I
perceive of worth to you. First I will return to
the vineyard and remind you that there is the
cycle of required pruning that greater fruit be
borne and assure you that what is anticipated as
upheaval is merely a pruning and is of great
benefit and not a catastrophe, and that there is a
magnificent corps of workers to do the pruning,
and that the field foreman, Monjoronson, is fully
capable of managing the crew for optimal results.
Your contribution to the cycle is to foster the
understanding in your fellows of the benefit of
these changes, to alleviate the fear and the
uncertainty that causes the anxiety that there
will be catastrophe. No one of my children is
ever left unattended. It is only in the lack of
that understanding and the following sense of no
trust that dread and fear result. But the soul of
every one is in good keeping, and that whether on
Earth or in the many mansions you are in good
keeping, that your personality is safeguarded, and
that only the external environs shift, and that
sometimes these shifts are for the benefit of the
entire planet.
While we are intent upon good pruning there
are times when a branch, a vine, will die on its
own even while we are looking to prepare it to
bear fruit. So, the shape will alter not by our
own choosing but by the unfoldment, the evolution,
of the vineyard as a whole. So, I caution any
about the temptation to define, describe, or
enumerate what exact alterations will occur. The
general sensitivity as the workers of the field
enter the vineyard to prune with an intention for
optimal yield will be coincident with the
unexpected encounters of the flux of life.
I hope this has provided you with
sustenance.

Paul: Thank you. We’re thankful to have
you here with your divine plan. That reassures
me.

Question: Could you enumerate why the vine
dies on its own?

* Michael: While my parable of the vine and
branches serves the purpose in illustrating the
intimate connection between our heavenly Father,
myself, and my children, it does not address the
reality of free will. So, a vine may be severed
in the refusal to receive the nourishment, and
that will alter the shape of the tree. There are
other factors that are from an external bearing
such as disease, and Urantia encountered such an
infection in the rebellion of your planetary
prince. But such occurrences as regards the soul,
while disruptive of the various branches, will
never harm you in an eternal sense. It may alter
your participation in the current growth in the
vineyard, but you will be transplanted, and you
will set new roots if you have chosen in your
heart to be a part, to be growing in this universe
family. I and my Father will that no one
perishes, but we honor the freedom of your choice
in selecting eternal life. That is a gift to me
beyond measure of greater wonder than to have you
all automatically grow. It is this interface
between the vinemaster and the vineyard that is
itself spectacular in its own beauty and is
inspiring to even myself.

Questioner: Thank you, father.

* Michael: Thank you, my children. Let us
now leave this chamber of communion and enter into
the fields, bear fruit, and be a blessing to all
in need. I give you my love.
