* Just because you don’t believe something doesn’t mean it isn’t real, just as you know that because you believe something doesn’t necessarily mean it is real, either. You are never afforded the opportunity to not have to use your discretion in understanding what is real and what is not. Too often, people settle into belief systems rather than faith systems. Living faith requires effort, discernment, and exploration.
I am Machiventa. Yes, my friends, I am here and desire to share with you. As you, perhaps, look at the world a little more hopefully this week, know that we, too, are hopeful and enthused by developments, both those which touch upon those areas you might be paying attention to, and other areas that are more under the surface, and not yet visible trends. Opportunity exists to plant seeds for further growth in recognition of the spiritual life and its potentials.
As you ponder what you might do or focus upon, you know my first encouragement would be to continually practice that time spent seeking within, but I would expand upon that to let you know, in response to your queries, that the most substantive actions which have lasting meaning for your own development and those in your vicinity are the actions which consist of utilizing your body and mind, your hands and feet in combination with your leadings from within, as impressed upon your mind.
There are way too many people who dream of helping others, who wish for healing from afar, who want and try to apply energy ethereally, and although this is not completely wasteful of your time, the real actions which will make a difference in your own lives and in the lives of others are those you undertake yourself. The world we are on here needs to see Michael’s gospel in action and how this occurs is not simply by a wishful transfer of energy, but by courageous efforts to live meaningful lives, to practice the methods that will deepen your consciousness in cooperation with your Indweller and manifest those desires to be in relationship to the world in which you live. As it says in the Urantia revelation, the surest way to have a tadpole become a frog is to live each day faithfully as a tadpole.
We need humans and this is why we come to you and those around your world we also seek to communicate with. So the question you might ask yourself is, “How can I live in ways that manifest that truth, beauty and goodness encapsulated in Michael’s life?” This can be done in 1001 ways and more, and we would encourage you to trust those leadings you have, to explore the potentials you see. Be aware when you are out and about with others that you are able to be a minister of Michael. It simply requires kindness and sincere interest in the lives of those you happen upon.
We also encourage you to look for ways to build patterns. Your collective here has been building patterns and exploring how those can expand and include more individuals. These questions are worthwhile and your efforts are valid to the extent that you keep it real, keep it focused on each of your connections individually within in your individual lives. and then look to how you can cooperate to produce that intangible substance that manifests when multiple minds are brought to bear on an issue.
I know that in your questions that some of you might like to hear more specific guidance, perhaps a list of what you can accomplish so you can simply check them off one by one, but this goes back to the difference between codifying a belief system and living in faith. We trust you, each of you, to keep your spirit growing and to manifest more of the substance of truth, beauty and goodness in your lives. Lists are for when there is little trust, but you know where to go for answers. Trust that these efforts will produce fruit, both for your personal journeys and for your group efforts.
Those are my words for you this evening, my friends. Thank you for completing the contact. If there are any questions, I would respond.
Q1: Thank you for the clarity. What you said validated what came through to me this morning after I was meditating. Essentially it was to stop worrying about the small things, fretting over this and that. So long as you are centered you will arrive at your planned destination. Worry less, have more faith and patience. So it really strikes truth in me, because it’s where I’ve been fine tuning my own internal direction. To just keep practicing more and more even if it’s just an inch every day. When there’s stillness in my head, it’s an opportunity to be in a place of gratitude and appreciation of the beauty and blessings I’ve been given. So when you say faith, I think that’s really poignant. I think it’s the fatal flaw of the ego mind that we’re always looking for some kind of validation. What you are leading us to is that living in faith is in and of itself self generating and validating. Any comments?
* Machiventa: Yes, my friend. Thank you. Recognize that your efforts to communicate are bearing fruit and that in combination with your Adjuster and your teachers, I also pay attention and provide insight either directly or through them to you. So it is no coincidence that you would find common themes in your reception.
As to what I am speaking about this evening, you touched upon gratitude and appreciation. Recognize these manifestations build a framework larger than you can imagine for your expanding soul partnership with your Indwelling Spirit. The appreciation and gratitude reflect a recognition of reality working in your life. The efforts you are undergoing incrementally, as you refer to, are quite valid for your growth. You may have read that if all you can do is learn to love one more person each week, then you are following the plans of our Father, and that doing God’s will is simply allowing yourself to live in God’s presence. There is no one thing you have to do to be worthy. Simply the knowledge that you are a child of God and that you are willing to share your life with God, this is the sum and substance of doing God’s will.
All those manifestations of beauty that poured out of Michael when he lived in the flesh are the result of this willingness. They weren’t the will of God in and of themselves, but naturally an outworking of doing the will of God daily by being in that presence. So there is no mission greater than this effort we have been talking about now for decades and centuries. It is why we can sometimes sound like a broken record, because on this distorted world it is so easy to slide away from that place of being in God’s will and trusting your are loved and well kept and are participating with this spirit, so we redirect and redirect and redirect some more. Thank you.
Q2: Last time you used that word “redirect,” you changed it to the word pivot and referred to the coming times. I find myself referring to that a lot - refocusing, remembering, knowing and recognizing what is true and what love is. I’ve used that out in the world a couple times with great success. That’s a message people can relate to. So I thank you for that and feel it is going to inspire me for a long time. So even if it’s a broken record - I went to the ballet last weekend and it’s the same dances and everyone performs them differently and the wonder and the joy is in the individual that’s living the message. Reliving Michael’s message for each individual is the same story, but it’s unique because each person does it differently.
* Machiventa: Thank you for your acknowledgment that these words have an influence. They are very intentional. Just because a sentence is long does not mean it is flawed. Your world can benefit from understanding that phrase. And yet, we are not about simply giving pet phrases, such as peace, love and harmony, or redirect and refocusing…
Q2: They’re action verbs.
* Machiventa: Yes, the point is what they are conveying more so than how they roll off the tongue and you get that. It is inspiring for us when you glimpse purely, occasionally, the intentions we offer. Know that we are persistent with you all because it is a murky world and the ability to perceive purely is not an easy task, but as you turn yourselves over to being conduits of our Father it enables this action ministry to occur, and for you to more directly understand what it is we are trying to convey. So use these words to inspire action and you will be producing the intended effect.
Thank you, my friends. It is a pleasure to take the time to share with you. There is hope out there and yes, there is still a lot of turmoil and conflict, but recognize that your day to day efforts and your perusing these ideas and exploring how you can manifest them together or individually, this is the practice that will bring about results more so than simply desiring change. Not to say that adding your desires to the collective is wasteful and meaningless, but that the real bread and butter is in the day to day efforts of humans to lift up each other and learn from each other and seek their maker and allow that to manifest in their lives. So when you ask how you can be of service, keep these thoughts in mind, my friends, and you will not stray far from the path that is most conducive to higher outcomes. Good evening.
