Rayson: Asking meaningful questions
Kinds of perspectives—what information is sought? Of the messenger and
the message. The reason behind the message—why has the tenor changed?
Is there a reaction? Seeking validation. Training leaders for the
future. Influencing the new civilization. Deciding your intention
toward participation.
The antidote for fear is awareness. Building leadership in mortal
ranks. An opportunity to participate actively. Declare your
intention to serve as a leader. Self-determination. Distribution of
resources. Forming new societies.
Q & A
Forming spiritual communities—what is required? Cooperative but not
co-dependent. Responding to subject of Armageddon & the Rapture.
Activities of the Most Highs. More info on population decimation.
What about atomic bombs?
RAYSON:
Good afternoon, this is Rayson. (Group welcome.) It is good
to be here with you once again. I have been asked to present the lesson to
you today on “Asking Questions.”
One can use
questions from many perspectives. We wish you to ask questions from a
holistic perspective. One can ask questions from the perspective of
defiance and rebellion. One can ask questions due to humble, hungry,
inquisitive and curious… from a perspective of a hungry and curious mind,
yearning to grow and develop. You can ask questions to gain information,
simple hard data. You can ask questions that invite your own mind to
search and stretch and reach for insights, those intuitive kernels that come
from seemingly nowhere to your mind, to your being, to your inner self.
Today we
will be talking about and asking questions from the perspective of a thoughtful,
discerning mind. In relationship to individuals of humble origins, asking
meaningful, discerning questions of the Divine, you have that right to ask those
questions. We encourage you to ask those questions; we suggest that
you do ask those questions. Without asking questions you present yourself
as one who accepts the situation as is, whether you are intellectually capable
of asking greater questions, or perhaps you are not—there is no way of knowing
to those who hear no questions.
I will be
using the last two lessons of Monjoronson’s presentations through this group to
point to you to ask questions. When you begin, where would you start?
To whom would you ask the questions? Would you begin by forming the
questions inside yourself? Some people do not even form the questions
inside themselves, but docilely accept what they hear, without challenge,
without curiosity, without inquisitive inclination. Others do not form the
questions inside themselves first, but spontaneously blurt them out.
Let us begin
with the TR. This is the most obvious place to begin. This TR —a TR—
is another mortal, another individual who is having a material experience with
you on this planet. And of course, knowing the foibles of mortals on your
planet, this is a very vulnerable place to begin, an appropriate one as well.
The questions that are offered are not offered as a challenge, but as points of
sincere inquiry, not as a point of injury or sarcasm or cynical expression.
For were you to use those points of reference, that would say only so much about
yourself. But being sincere, with right intention for revealing truth, you
perhaps want to ask, “Is there something here that serves the TR first, before
others?” “What does the TR have to gain by doing this?” and the leverage
that is universal to mortals is fear and ego. Perhaps the message is one
of fear that generates fear in you? Perhaps it is fear within the TR?
Perhaps it is your ego that does not accept this message. Perhaps it is
your ego that does accept it? And perhaps it is the ego of the TR to gain
recognition, power, [or] influence —those things that are so typical of
political positions.
The second
point, in asking questions of the TR is, “How often is this analysis done?”
“How often is this qualitative challenge given?” And the response is,
“When it is needed.” When something comes across differently, sounds
differently, there is a change of note in the tenor of the message; there is a
change of note in the tenor of the speaker through the TR. To challenge
each time the TR delivers a message [that] will cause you a great disturbance in
your thinking, and will challenge the messages over time. This is neither
good nor bad, but offers different qualities, different outcomes to you, the
listener, and to the message.
As we have
said many times in the past, examine the message, not the messenger. The
message will tell you about the messenger. Does the message sound as
though it were in keeping with Christ Michael’s management and sustaining power
of this planet, its growth, its development, its evolution into the Days of
Light and Life? Each message should be examined carefully,
thoughtfully. The messages that come through TRs are not “pretty picture”
messages to lull you to sleep at night, but given to you as instructions and
preparations for your individual life, for the maintenance of your individual
families, for the right development of your children, for your active and
wholesome participation in your communities and in your governments, and your
globe, your world. Give them the attention of discernment that is needed
for your life.
Thoughtful,
discerning questioning is needed, my friends. Some of you have reacted to
these messages and you have come away challenging them. You are into the
second or third step of inquiry. The first step of inquiry would be to
acknowledge there is a difference from earlier messages, were there not?
(Yes.) Yes. You would ask, “What is different about these
messages than from previous ones?” “Why is it this change has taken
place?” “What are these changes meant to convey to us?” “What can I
do to hear these messages more clearly?” “Is there something here for me
to respond to?” Have you ever heard us give you material in which we ask
you to react to? Rarely, if ever. Your opportunity is to
respond; reacting to the message says that you are coming from positions
of fear or ego. Yet, [if] it is wholesome to react, [it’s] more wholesome
to acknowledge that you are reacting, and then wonder why you reacted.
Some of you
have reacted upon the assumption that your reaction is accurate, that your
knowledge of the topic is true, that your insights and awareness of the message
is as though you had spoken to the originator before the TR session. This
is an opportunity for growth, an opportunity to examine your assumptions.
And how would you do that? We suggest you ask yourself, “Do I have
assumptions regarding this message and my reaction to it?” “What are those
assumptions?” Let us move on.
With a
discerning mind, you would then move into validation. After having
examined the material and wondered about it, you would seek to validate what you
heard. You could do that through your own direct contact with Christ
Michael, Monjoronson, your Thought Adjuster, Guardian Angel, [or] your Celestial
Teacher, knowing that you will receive different qualitative responses at each
of those levels. Another means of validation is to bring questions to the
forum of the next TR session, to ask that teacher questions about that message.
Remember, you are an intelligent individual. You can ask meaningful
questions, anticipating meaningful, significant responses from the source.
Another means of validation is to ask other TRs to bring through the same
teacher and see what responses, what answers come through. Oftentimes, as
you know, the teacher/originator will come through and address the concerns as
though you have asked the questions already and you know this is not unusual but
occurs quite frequently.
Always
we invite you to come back to the forum of the TR session —to your own TR
session— with your Thought Adjuster, Christ Michael or whomever, and ask
meaningful questions. We wish you not to leave the forum; your
participation over these days, months and years is an important investment to
you and to us and to your world. Each of you have contributed greatly to
the Teaching Mission, and you are contributing as well now to the Magisterial
Mission. As you will see from today’s session, the Teaching Mission and
the Magisterial Mission are separate enterprises of the same operation, the
Correcting Time. They are both sub-sets of a larger purpose, with larger
objectives.
We would now
like to address some of the issues that were raised by you, since the last two
sessions by Monjoronson. This will allow his message to you this afternoon
to come through, without digression. Some of you have truly noted a
difference in the message —the tenor of the message of Monjoronson— from his
prior sessions, prior to these last two of his, given through this group.
Some of you said, “Well, about time we heard something like this —it seems to be
in keeping with what we’ve all been told in the past and anticipate.”
Others of you have said, “My goodness, this is disquieting, it is uncomfortable,
it causes me to be fearful —this doesn’t seem like the loving, benevolent,
caring, supportive and endearing messages from our Beloved Monjoronson that we
have received in the past.” And you are right! They are different.
Some of you
have quietly asked ”Why is this different now, why is his presentation
different?” He answered that in part last time, and noted that events on
your world have changed, that there is sufficient foreseeing to allow for a more
descriptive presentation to you. It is time that you became aware that
Monjoronson is informing and training the leaders for the future. Some of
you have already stepped up to the plate long ago —years ago— asking to
participate actively with Christ Michael and his team. Some of you have
withdrawn. Withdrawing is neither good, nor bad —it is simply withdrawing—
it is your choice. It is a free will expression of your decision.
None of you
asked, “How are we to use this information?” I will tell you: You
are to use this information as preparation for your future. Some of you
will become leaders. We are handing you many pieces of the plan for
healing your world in the New Era. As we have said, there will be at least
a decade of confusion on your planet, a reorganization of resources—human and
material. The resource that will not be diminished one whit, but will be
in fact increased many fold, is the spiritual resources available to you.
You will not be able to access those without an earlier template, and earlier
awareness of what is going on.
This message
today goes to a couple hands-full of people immediately, but soon it will go out
to many thousands of you. You will have this template in mind—these plans
for healing and reformation of your social, political, and economic world.
You know —we surely know— that a few key people among thousands, tens of
thousands —even hundreds of thousands of people— can have a tremendous influence
upon the course of the civilization, a society, nation, culture, community, and
in a family and in an individual. These messages are not meant to scare
you. They are to inform you, to make you aware of events that will occur
in the future, you will have an awareness of these so that you can use this
knowledge for the reconstruction of your world.
There are
literally hundreds of questions that could be developed around the [subject of]
the New Era. We hope you begin to develop these on your own. For
now, I offer you a question for you to answer in your stillness, and that is to
ask yourself, “What is my intention for participating in the New Era?”
“What is my intention to participate with Christ Michael in the Correcting Time
and its many manifest forms in the New Era?” For now is the time, my
friends, to make those decisions.
But first,
you must ask yourself the questions to come to those answers. The most
meaningful questions are the ones you ask yourself. “What is the purpose
of my life?” “What is its meaning?” These are essential for the
fulfillment of your life; this is essential to the fulfillment of your life
plan, to the huge contributions you could make to the growth of your soul.
We offer this lesson today as a point of inquiry to you —to you for yourself,
for your family, community, your Teaching Mission group that you attend, for the
transcripts you read— it is a point of inquiry for your participation with
Christ Michael. This is not a loyalty oath at all; it is simply an
adventure in discovery. We ask you to discover as much as you can about
yourself and about the activities you participate in, the assumptions that you
have, the reasons why you do these things, what purposes and intentions you
have.
Are there
thoughts from you now that you would like to share with me, about our lesson on
asking questions? (Short pause.) If you wish, we can take a
few moments as a quiet break and return and then you may have your thoughts and
questions together by that time. Let us reconvene in a few minutes,
please. [Short break.]
MONJORONSON:
Good afternoon, this is Monjoronson. (Group greetings.) I
wish to continue with where we left off and advance forward. The
circumstances of your world are changing immensely, and you need to prepare for
that. Whether it is three years from now, or three hundred years from now,
you have an active role in what occurs in the future to you planet. You
are each an individual; you are significant. The Creator knows you
individually, is aware of you completely. There is an awareness of you
throughout all the records and archives of the universe. What you do is
significant; what you do is not forgotten. How you led your life is a
product of your decisions; and, they are sovereign, they are yours. Those
are on record.
Whether you
continue on in your infinite course of your life to eventually be received in
Paradise, embraced by the Creator and inducted into the Corps of Finality, or
whether you chose to absent yourself from that journey, the decisions that you
make that contribute to this world, to the universe, are going to remain.
You cannot maximize your decisions and you cannot maximize the value of your
soul without all the opportunities and the awareness of those opportunities and
the arrival of those opportunities in your life, to make decisions about, unless
you are informed.
I wish you
to know that as I have presented myself in these many months that I have been
speaking to you that very much of my essence, my presence with you is as it will
be experienced by you and by your descendents in the future. I will be
your spiritual, active, and inspirational leader, the one who assists you to
reorganize your societies, your civilization, to give significance for all time
to your cultures. I will assist you in doing this. And when I say,
“you,” I mean you as individuals. I wish to have a personal,
intimate, and individual relationship with each one of you. Some of you already
have experienced that.
The best
antidote for fear is awareness. The best antidote of helplessness is
empowerment. You have many opportunities ahead of you to examine and to
make decisions about. I wish you to make the best contributive decisions
you can to your self, your children, family, neighbors, and to your community.
Many of you will live as models for others —that is your decision. Some of
you will accept opportunities and circumstance that to you appear to be obvious,
but to others they will shrink away. You will have an awareness of this
and only an appreciation of it to its fullest after you cross over to the
mansion worlds.
I wish you
now to imagine a hypothetical, though somewhat realistic, gathering/conclave
that Christ Michael had with significant members of his local universe — those
who make decisions about the course of the quarantined planets. Now
imagine in this hypothetical meeting that they are asking, “How can we prepare
these planets for the eventuality of their return to the fold of all Nebadon?”
And as you can imagine, there were many suggestions, from simply creating each
planet into a paradise by fait accompli, to the bedrock decision that
Christ Michael eventually made to help each planet heal itself, maximize the
soul growth of individuals, who would eventually become immense contributors to
the Corps of Finality, and to the eventuality of the Grand Universe.
“Where do we
begin?” asks a member. Having the outline of the process of rehabilitation
already in hand, the answer is, “We begin with the individual.”
“How can we heal the individual and develop them into leaders if their society
is corrupt? Their world is in darkness; it is in quarantine? How do
we proceed?”
So let us
close this hypothetical situation and begin to ask and answer —strive to answer—
some of these meaningful questions. As you know, there must first be the
exercise of justice with the miscreants who caused this grief in these planets
in quarantine —and this has been accomplished. Next, would be to begin the
earliest phases of bringing these planets into the fold of Nebadon, and that is
to reconnect the circuits of each planet, and the environments of those planets
with the center of Nebadon, with Uversa, with the Grand Universe.
I am not one
to share with you, now, how the decision came about to bring a Magisterial Son
to your planet but you and I know that that decision has been made. After
the adjudication and after the circuits were reconnected, the plans that had
long been developed—since the rebellion began—could then become inaugurated,
established and invoked and put into operation.
Student:
What an exciting time for us to be living here!
If I may
continue, the next phase would be to bring mortals into awareness of these
happenings, which are now events in history. And do this without arousing
great fear, yet allowing for the greatest interpretation by those who are
sensitive to the realms of spirit, those who see partially, those who come
forward to make pronouncements in the name of the Lord, even though they are not
anointed. The effort is to bring forward the greatest awareness of change,
and bring forth the message that is positive, that is healing and also
reconstructive — a message that also informs individuals and societies of the
changes that are to come. And we, knowing that there will be changes in
your earth, for it is a developmental, evolutionary, material planet that has
geology, has weather and a chemistry of its own that is material and immaterial,
that these changes will occur on your planet and that this will affect how your
world proceeds.
I told you
last time that there was an awareness —a long standing awareness— that your
planet’s population would reach an era where it would be precipitous to go any
further, that it would decline, and that this could be used of benefit, of
leverage for spiritual expansion and reorganization of your planet, its
civilizations and organizations. All without mandate, but rather allowing
for sovereign decisions, co-creative participation by mortals.
My friends,
we have challenged you to ask questions. I wish each one of you could have
sat in on the many millennia of question-asking sessions that we have had to
develop strategies for implementing Michael’s plans most effectively for your
planet. Always, even in reorganizing the grandest, largest scope of your planet
—always those plans had to address the care, support and spiritual
feeding of each individual, and further give opportunity for mortals to
participate in making those decisions. And, friends, that requires that
you have an awareness of your circumstances, does it not? (Yes.)
Certainly. You cannot make effective, moral decisions without this
awareness.
Let us
resume another hypothetical question-asking session that we had on Salvington:
Put yourself into the position of this question-asker, “Michael, how is it that
we are to heal this planet and bring it into the fold of Nebadon, if we are to
use mortals in the co-creative, cooperative relationship of its future?
How can we assist these individuals to make those decisions? Who is to
bring them into their own folds of cooperative effort? Are we to do this?
If we do, then we will have removed them from sovereign decision-making about
their futures; we will have diminished their capacity to aid their own soul
growth and the healing of their planet, their families, their societies.
Michael, is this not an impossible task you are asking us to do?”
This
question-asker says to you, I can recall that our Lord —your Lord— rose to the
occasion and said these words: “I have the utmost confidence in my mortal
brothers and sisters upon the planets in rebellion, to assist themselves with us
in their own healing. And we will do that by assisting those who can be
leaders, to lead.” And I, Monjoronson today, am here to tell you that I am
addressing the leaders who will begin the New Era. Some of you will be in
this New Era; some of you will not make the transition through that era of ten
years or more. Please, do not accept this as a point to become fearful,
but as an opportunity to stand up and say, “Yes! I wish to be a
co-creative, cooperative leader in the New Era, with Monjoronson, Machiventa,
Christ Michael, my Thought Adjuster and the Most Highs, those in authority in
Uversa.”
We are not
asking you to be brave. We are not asking you to be courageous. We
are not asking you to put yourself at risk. We are simply offering an
opportunity for you to offer the greatest of your capacity to participate in
leadership, to participate in healing of your world; to participate actively
in the New Era, the new world that your planet will enjoy. My friends, if
you see a wall of water coming down the street at your house, you should be
fearful! But if you look outside today and the sky is blue, there may be
clouds, it may be raining lightly—appreciate that you are safe. You are
safe now!
We share
this information with you so that you can make rational, competent decisions
—not decisions made out of fear for we know that in times of fear, when you are
fearful, your body mechanism will takeover and oftentimes, your rational mind
will fly out the window that you will not be available to yourself, even to save
yourself, let alone your house, your family, your community. We are simply
asking you to declare your intention to work with us in these developments.
We ask you to begin by asking meaningful discerning questions.
[Daniel:
I guess he wants to take a break now.]
MONJORONSON:
This is Monjoronson; let us continue. A meaningful question for you to ask
of yourself, if you wish to be a leader in the New Era, is, “What am I to lead?”
“I am only a clerk in a grocery store.” “I am only an elementary teacher
in a large school.” “I’m a fireman in a large battalion.” This is an
important question to ask. You will be surprised how you can contribute in
the New Era as a leader. Of course, as a leader, you cannot lead without
people to assist you in that leadership, those who would rather “do” than
“lead.” You would find individuals who have commonalities with yourself,
whether it is in your employment or your hobbies, or some other pursuits.
We mentioned
that life will go on, your society will continue, its functions will continue.
Many superfluous functions will decrease or even cease. You probably will
not have time to rent the videos that you used to —you may not have an interest
to. You will have leisure time; there will be resources; there will be
group meetings, but the topics, the agendas and the topics of meetings that you
attend will take on a much deeper, richer significance in your life. You
will be concerned first about survival —the goal is to feel safe. And you
want to do this in an environment that allows for your self-determination.
It would be horrendous for you to attempt to survive in a military state, would
it not?
The optimum
circumstances of the New Era are dependant upon allowance for individuals to
make decisions of self-determination, self-determination that is not at the
expense of others but made by decisions that support you and them. If you
are an educator, let us say that you are the superintendent of several schools:
You would seek out the staff who remain from the schools you managed. Who
do you have left? What are their fields of expertise? How many
students remain? What resources do you have? How do you minimize the
expense of a school district that now has only 50% of its student body? To
keep the lights on in a school that has 110 rooms, when you only need 10 rooms,
is a waste of resources. Do you have individuals in your physical plant
department who can assist in this problem, this situation? You will have
many challenges as a superintendent of schools.
The
distribution of resources will be one of the more difficult challenges of your
economy. We can assist you in many ways but we still have not learned how
to drive trucks to deliver the gasoline, deliver the groceries, pick up and
deliver the mail, and so on. Yet, my friends, you have within individuals,
and among you, an intelligence that can overcome these problems. When life
becomes more regular, after this interim period, you will feel safe and secure
and you will begin to prosper —that is grow— seeking new adventures once again.
Once you
have overcome the challenges of survival, now what will you do? One of the
important questions that you individually and as groups will ask, “Do we want to
go back to the way our society was?” “Do we want to maintain the
simplicity that we have now?” “What do we need to do to enhance the
quality of our lives, outside of material possessions?” You will have
fundamental societal questions to ask. “How do we maintain governance?”
“How do we administer justice?” “How do we deliver justice?” “Who is
responsible to make these decisions?” And so on. Because you live in
a quasi-democracy, you will need to emplace a means of reliably gathering the
opinions and contributions of individuals.
And ever in
your minds and upon your lips will be the question, “How do we maintain a
rational, healthy, constructive, growing society in these years and in the
future?” By asking those questions you will begin the process of building
a new future, a new society, and allow for the healing to take place. Yes,
you will ask questions —some of you will ask questions— “Do we maintain the old
feuds?, the old borders?, the old animosities?” For some, it will be an
opportunity to expand their power, but will it enhance the future? We do
not know, as this message goes out to you, will you support the New Era? Or will
you collectively go back to the old era of linear thinking, domination and
subjection, submission and abuse, or will you assist aiding others to remove
boundaries, barriers, borders in order to build a whole future?
And who will
make these suggestions? Who will offer this leadership for the New Era?
We hope it is you. We know that many of you will step forward, you will
not be timid; you will offer suggestions, rather than an authoritative mandate
that must be fulfilled. Will you seek wholeness, oneness, completeness,
inclusion and operate in terms of “with,” “and,” “we,” “us,” “together,” and
so on? These are our operative words of wholeness in a completion that
offers potential for expansion, rather than contraction and diminution.
Some of you
know that you are timid; some of you know that you are docile—this is wonderful.
You are needed! You, who are so humble, who can offer up wonderful,
profound suggestions to a larger group that may not think the way you do.
As a member of a larger group, you know, as Teaching Mission and Urantia Book
readers, that your future is one that is profoundly great, and offers profound
opportunities for growth individually, societally. Knowing what you know
of the world you will live in during the New Era, you have much to offer for the
reorganization of your communities, states, and nations. You know that
your world will move day-by-day to the final era, The Days of Light and Life.
Leadership
does not necessarily mean standing in front of a thousand people, saying, “This
way!” It may be someone in the back of the room who will hold up their
hand and say, “Have you ever thought about this possibility…?” That is
leadership! That is the opportunity for expansion and growth. You
live on a material world. You live material lives. You suffer, you
die, you pass on, and you have opportunities to serve. While you are here,
your lives are intense; you live lives of intense experience—intense lives [of]
physical growth, personal, emotional development, spiritual expansion, and
service.
We would
hope, before the Transition Era arrives, that the population of this world will
all be exposed to the writings of the Teaching Mission, the good work of the
Urantia Book —and that everyone would study that book, read the transcripts and
prepare for their new future. But we know this will not be the case.
Your future, its direction and your world’s development, will critically be
dependent upon a few tens-of-thousands of individuals throughout the world to
assist us in bringing your world into the New Era. Again I say, you are
not alone! You will not be alone; you are accompanied by many unseen
friends —active, competent, capable individuals who are empowered to assist your
world to come into the New Era. You will not be left to flounder.
You will not be left in the seas of turmoil to tread water and wait for help.
We are here, a helping hand to pull you to safety, show you the way, the choices
you have, the decisions that you can make, and then take action. Now, let
us have questions, if you have any.
Student:
Monjoronson, you’ve talked about a global spiritual community being necessary to
your plans, and that models of these will be needed before the negative events
occur. Rayson has already given us several lessons on “Intentional
Community” that will be of a great help to us in planning spiritual communities,
but do you have any specific requirements to add, such as the numbers or the
locations of these communities that would best aid your mission? Will your
staff need a place where they can be housed, as well as a place to teach?
MONJORONSON:
Let’s take your first question first: There are no specific places where
these centers must begin in order to contribute to the New Era and the plans of
the Magisterial Mission. These will develop spontaneously, but, albeit
intentionally, by individuals who want to have intentional communities.
They can begin as intentional communities or simply as a spiritual community,
where people bond together spiritually and to exercise the intentional community
later. You have one here —a spiritual community— which, if you decided,
that could under certain circumstances come together to aid in each other’s
survival and the survival of your neighbors and communities. There are
already existent many thousands of spiritual communities that have no declared
intention of further existence past their spiritual growth individually and its
expression as a group.
We provide a
service where it is needed —it is not the other way around. We will serve,
assist, and contribute to groups of individuals who have declared their need for
assistance. Remember, this is for you; this is for individuals of your
planet. We work together. You are not dependant upon us and we are
not dependant upon you, but we have a co-existence to support each other
successfully into the future. We have a future that we will co-create
together. As for domiciling my staff, this is not a relevant question at
this time, for we know that when those circumstances arrive that what we need
will be provided. (Thank you.)
Student:
An individual brought up a question at study group this week about … not at all
related to your messages, Monjoronson, but it seems that there are quite a
number of religious people who think in terms of Armageddon and the Rapture, and
if they would interpret such great changes happening on our planet as being a
part of that, as if it was …I don’t understand very much about that, but if God
is pouring out wrath upon this planet. We certainly don’t believe in that,
but I am wondering how we might best respond to such limited thinking?
MONJORONSON:
As we have taught before, there is no arguing with those points of view, for
then you have engaged yourself in their arguments and those limitations.
This is a matter of individual decision. They have made decisions about
what to believe and what not to believe. Most beliefs, decisions about
beliefs, are self-limiting. Again, you can assist others into greatness by
leading by example. Surely, there will be many outside of the spiritual
and intentional communities who survive and ask the question, “Why did I
survive? Why did you survive?” And truly, it will not be a matter of
being “chosen,” but it will be a matter of preparation, of being at the right
place at the right time, with the right circumstances. Again, it is the
discerning mind that asks deeper questions, rather than blindly accepting what
they have been taught. We know this is not possible of everyone, but we
would wish that everyone would ask questions. And perhaps the best
question you could ask them is, “Have you ever thought to question those
beliefs? Do you think there may be other alternatives?” and leave it at
that. (Thank you.)
Student:
I have a question: We have been taught that the Most Highs rule in the
kingdom of men, and in that vein, the question is, “Do they cause earth
disturbances in that sense, they are more —as we understand it— looking at the
good of the whole, not of individuals, in the way they may operate to change
these kingdoms of men. Do they also work in the human domain causing
disruptions or diseases or things of this sort? Could you comment on their
activities as it may support this Correcting Time?
MONJORONSON:
Certainly. The Most Highs do not cause insurrections, do not bring about
disease, do not cause or bring about earthquakes, bad weather, or circumstances
as that. The activities of the Most Highs have and will continue to
dovetail exactly with the Correcting Time. The Most Highs have been and
will be an active element in all the affairs of mankind, from government to
economies to transportation to finance, commerce, to health care, to all the
major institutions that support human kind, that support civilization and its
development. The Most Highs do operate in most unusual ways. They
have latitude of decision-making and implementation that go far beyond those of
angels or midwayers or Melchizedeks.
The Most
Highs are influential, both in the transition of institutions for their
collapse, and for their development. If a situation occurs that needs a
little “tipping,” they oftentimes provide the “tipping.” They also provide
opportunities for right action to mortals. There are consequences that are
attendant to all their participation or their manipulations, and they are
responsive and attendant to those provisions. They do not cause political
or economic cataclysms without opportunities for betterment. They are not
mischievous or capricious. These are righteous and holy individuals.
Their mission, their purpose is to assist in the development and the
augmentation of right living through good working institutions for humankind on
each planet. They work for the good of all.
Student:
Can we hope that they can then influence some of the misguided decisions of our
governmental and industrial complex that have seemed to have developed a
government within our government to the point they are now parallel with our
current government, causing such abuse to small countries where they want to
control their resources and so on. Can we hope for their engagement in
those activities?
MONJORONSON:
They are even now actively engaged in those governmental processes in ways that
are mysterious and unfathomable. They do not operate in ways that are
subversive, at least in the perspectives that you are acquainted with.
They are kindly and compassionate in their applications. Do you recall the
revolution that occurred in
Student:
Could I ask a further question?
(Please do.) In considering the question of population or depopulation
of the planet necessary to reach a stable and survivable population on the
planet, can you comment more on the mechanisms that might take place in that
regard?
MONJORONSON:
Do you mean regarding the decimation of the planet? (Yes.) It
will occur as a comedy of errors, an immense global tragedy of errors. It
will be compounded, as I have said before, by many factors but there will be one
decision after another made that will be in error, and failure to act when
actions would have been precipitous to recovery. There will be individuals
who are in power who do not act. And those who are out of power, who will,
who will complicate the situation for a large percentage of the planet.
There will be a primary cause for the decimation, but the numbers will be
greatly enhanced by the incompetence of those who could not make decisions, and
by those who made decisions. As I say, it will be a compounding of many
factors. Does this answer your question? (Thank you.)
Student:
Monjoronson, following the question that was just answered, are you able to tell
us that the people that do not survive, if they will die from disease, suffering
slowly, or if their lives will be taken quickly?
MONJORONSON:
For the vast majority of those who die, their transition will be very rapid.
There will be those, however, who are isolated both physically and through lack
of support that will suffer. Their numbers will be miniscule, compared to
the numbers who have passed quickly. There will be situations very similar
to what occurred in your southern states during the last hurricane season, where
there will be individuals in [hospital] care who will be abandoned; those who
will be in jails who will be abandoned, those who are infirm, who are not fed
and those who are on life support systems that fail. There will be many
who pass without knowing, for they were already unconscious or close to death.
There will be some who are isolated because of lack of services. It will
be most difficult but few will die a lingering death. Most who remain will
have capacity to make active decisions about how they survive. Does this
answer your question? (Yes, it does. Thank you.)
Student:
Will atomic bombs be a part of the problem with the accompanying radiation that
lingers?
MONJORONSON:
The aspect of atomic bombs is an integral part of this expanded scenario; the
radiation that would remain from this hypothetical situation would be a
lingering problem with little possibility for those who are in those areas to be
cared for. This could be one of those compounding factors that could
develop in that era. There are probabilities that this will occur, though
our analysis has not confirmed this at this point. There are those who
will wish to inflict retribution due to past injuries, as I have mentioned
before, but those who want to expand their control and authority through the
expression of violence to those who are incapacitated, though as I said, all
will be incapacitated in the end, and survival will not be assured by positions
of power or great wealth.
Student:
Monjoronson, would it be helpful to us, as we desire to take more personal
responsibility in service to our families and fellows, to again look at the
material in the Urantia Book on the era of Light and Life, to make ourselves
more aware of some of the details of the kind of progress that we are looking
toward?
MONJORONSON:
Yes, it would be helpful, though do not become idealistic when reading these
things, these pages, this text. You will be challenged by the realities
around you, but these should be guiding thoughts and ideals to aspire to.
What will be most helpful during this era are the values that you have for your
life and the life of others. The values then express as beliefs.
Your values are important for the fulfillment of those ideals. Do you
understand? (I think so. Thank you.) Are there other
questions?
Student:
Is the chaos in the
MONJORONSON:
No, it will not lead to this. It is one of those compounding factors; as
metaphor, it is one of those situations where a storeowner protects the back
door against thieves, while others boldly come through the front door to take
advantage. The attention of many of the planet’s leaders are now focused
on the
Student:
Monjoronson, it seems as if you and others have given us a great deal of
emphasis on the practice of stillness and overcoming our fears, and it seems to
me that that’s very necessary and helpful in developing the courage, the
confidence to step out as you are suggesting in whatever kind of leadership role
might be placed in front of us. Is that a correct assumption?
MONJORONSON:
You have said well. You must realize, must know, and appreciate that what
you have today is sufficient for this day, and not worry about tomorrow.
Do not fear for factors that may occur tomorrow; you must live in this day.
The best way to do that is to begin in stillness and end it in stillness, with
your intention to receive wisdom, guidance, and understanding, from your Thought
Adjuster and from your Guardian. You will be of no use to others as a
leader if you are fearful. You will be of no assistance—have no
grounding—unless you are grounded in the stillness and know with full assurance
that you are accompanied by more than yourself; you are accompanied by the
Greatness that is unseen. You may call this courage; you may call it
bravery; you may call it the obvious that you must do but know that you who are
in stillness have the greatest opportunities for inner leadership and
partnership with you. (Thank you.)
These are
our first, smallest, most obvious steps into global leadership with you.
When you act as leaders in the capacity that you can, whether that is in
governance, whether it is in resources, whether it is in education, or
healthcare—wherever it may be, you can be assured that you are working in close
and immediate cooperation with the Most Highs. You can know —truly know—
that you are in the company of those that can assist you immediately in your
situations. Remember, that you are not alone. This journey into the
New Era through the transition period is one that you will begin to experience
the immediacy, intimacy, the personal contact of that which has been unseen
before. Be assured that my presence in your company will be felt.
Know that you have a Light within you that knows the way. Trust in this.
Above all, trust in yourself. Good day. (Group gives thanks.)
