WELMEK - RECOURSING YOUR LIFE
JUNE 6, 2002


Machiventa:  This is Machiventa Melchizedek who greets you this evening. 
I welcome the new members of this group and wish to introduce myself to
you.  

In the celestial overcontrol I am the reigning head, the Planetary Prince
of this planet Urantia that you know as your beloved Earth.  I have been
mandated by Christ Michael, the one you know as Jesus, to sit as the
administrative authority over the jurisdiction of planetary affairs.  I
say this to you to orient you to the nature and order of the correcting
mechanism that is now in full swing to bring this planet into the ages of
Light and Life, where life more resembles that of order, fairness,
justice, mercy, but above all love - a planet that is dominated by love
and the service motive.

There is an enormous correction that is occurring at this moment that
will sweep through the hearts and minds of each individual on this planet
in time, and transform planetary life as you now know it.  And I address
you this evening; for there are those of you who are here who have in
some way in their hearts and minds, come to a decision to be of a higher
service; to bring a higher level of social life into your planet.  I
honor you for your choices.  This is a calling of the highest service,
and I wish to acknowledge each of you tonight in what you have in your
heart longed for and wished to see occur on your planet.  You are the
heralds of a new age.  You are the pioneers and the torchbearers.  You
are called to a great duty, and we are here to encourage you, to teach
you, to serve you while you carry out the task of individual and
planetary transformation.

Is this an enormous undertaking?  Yes, it is!  But I believe that each of
you, in your own way, is up to the challenge.  And I wish for you to know
that you need only to call on us for assistance; for guidance for those
ideas that will move you and this planetary transformation ahead. There
is no lack of spiritual support, and you are all now well connected,
whether or not you are consciously aware of it at any given point in
time.  We love you. We respect you.  We watch over you, and we are
cheering for you.

I will not take questions at this time, for I am leaving you in the able
hands of your teacher, Welmek, whose lesson this evening will speak to
the topic of my discourse to you.  So in taking my leave, I ask for our
Creator to bestow peace in your hearts, wisdom in your minds, and
perseverance in your souls.  Good evening. 


Welmek:   Good evening, friends!  This is your friend and teacher,
Welmek.  I am always honored to be able to follow our beloved Prince
Machiventa in his lesson.

There is so much information to share with you my dear friends - my
wonderful brothers and sisters - who are carrying forth the important and
amazing work that is now beginning to unfold on this beleaguered planet. 
And so, tonight I have chosen a topic of "re-course" in your life - the
idea of where is your focus on your life now pointed.  I wish to address
this topic with you more fully, and will give you a moment to spend in
stillness, in asking your spirit about this idea of recourse, but I wish
to offer a few words of perspective on this idea.  

As we have observed human life on this planet, there has been a steady
thread of the unfoldment of human life.  And that is: you are born, you
are educated, you learn skills and ideas, and fit them into career paths
that have been pre-identified and traditionalized so that you can enter
into certain jobs to earn a living wage to meet your material needs and
raise your families.  And all of life is so structured.  This is, from
our perspective, a limited way of life, for it does leave little time to
enjoy those things that uplifts and ennobles the spirit, and fuels the
imagination of the spirit to greater depths of expression and cultural
evolution.  This is about to change.  

You are the first generation to bear witness to planetary transformation
and I ask you, have you thought about what role you would desire to play
in this - in being of service in your own way to further the course of
planetary transformation?  The role and unfolding of planetary
transformation is something that will proceed now for many succeeding
generations, and life will change with each generational imprint and
become more harmonized with the divine plan for this planet.  

Your lives, as you are beginning to see, are changing.  You are emerging
from the consciousness of earning your living and being fundamentally
rooted to the material needs and requirements of fulfilling just your
basic living needs, and emerging into the consciousness of making the
world a better place.  So how is it that you move forward in this new
direction, while the very nature and condition that you find yourself in
of meeting your material needs, is changing right in front of your eyes? 
And this is where the idea of re-course now comes into play. To take this
idea into the stillness and ask for an expanded awareness of what this
means, and what you can do, if you choose, to allow yourself to be
re-coursed in life into the direction where you can be of highest service
in this unfolding transformation.  

And so before we take this idea into the stillness, I would ask you, do
you have any questions or comments on the idea as I am presenting it to
you this evening.  This is somewhat of a new concept that I am presenting
to the group tonight. But I do this because I sense that in all of you
present, a very deep desire within you to live your life in this
capacity.  So I am happy to spend as much time as necessary in
entertaining your questions.   

Student:  I have a question. I've been trying to do what you are talking
about for some years now; trying to find a way to work for the benefit of
the community, and for the benefit of the planet, and it's really been a
struggle, and I have not felt supported, particularly, financially.  And
recently, all financial support has disappeared.  So I wonder if you can
- I'm feeling very disillusioned about it - I don't see any recourse in
terms of going back to any other way of being.  I don't really feel
supported in this, spiritually or financially?  

Welmek:  My sister, I empathize with your words.  Transitional times are
difficult, particularly when you do not feel, nor see, where your support
is.  This is the time to make the commitment within your heart that
speaks to your soul's desire to serve in this capacity.  And I encourage
you to extract the material needs that you have from your sheer, honest,
and sincere desire to work in this capacity.  This may not always be the
easiest undertaking.  But have you found anything, in your soul, that
fills you with a sense of satisfaction when you align yourself with the
ideal of what this potential means?  

Student:  I'm not sure I understand the question.

Welmek:  Have you found anything else in your life to be as satisfying as
working in this endeavor, if you were to extract out, the notion that you
have not been financially supported?  

Student:  Well I haven't found the work to be that satisfying, in the
end, which is troubling also. I feel like it's useful work and it's
service, but it isn't soul satisfying to me, and that's been disturbing
too. I feel like I haven't been able to feel the form of contribution
that will be the most soul satisfying for me, and so I've been stabbing
around in the dark, trying to do things that make sense, but I don't
connect with them in a way that's very satisfying - it just feels like
work, that's service oriented and useful.  

Welmek:  And would you say that this lack of connection is due to the
conditions in which you were doing your work?  

Student:  Yes, I think partly it's because I'm isolated and working alone
a lot.  I think I would be better off working around people more.  I also
feel as though in some way it's not my work, that it isn't the thing,
that somehow there's something untapped that I'm unaware of that would be
more what I'm here to be doing.  And that has been a lifelong
issue-puzzle.

Welmek:  And so would you say that it is possible that the connection
that you seek has not been made or found because the appropriate pathway
has not yet shown itself to you?

Student:  Yes, I think of it in terms of my not feeling connected to
myself in a particular way, so I don't even know what my hearts desire
is.  

Welmek:  I would say that it is very vital at this time to spend some
time in asking to see yourself from the divine perspective; that you are,
as a child of God, a very beloved daughter with exquisite talents and
innate gifts that will be well put to use.  Spend time in asking to see
what your gifts are; what your talents are.  Ask to see yourself the way
God sees you.

During these times of transition the pathway may not always emerge right
at that moment when you feel you need it, because there are certain
depths of awarenesses within you that must pierce your conscious mind in
order for you to choose where you want to go.  And it is very normal in
the human mind to think that you are not getting any help when the venue
you have been doing your work does not produce fruitful and satisfying
results.  And so, the tendency in human thinking is to think that you are
doing something wrong, and to feel disconnected, and then to become even
more frustrated and despondent. 

And I say to you tonight, that you are deeply loved, and you are cared
for and watched over in a very devoted fashion.  You may not feel this at
the present time, but if you continue to go into the stillness and ask to
see yourself from your Divine Father's and Mother's eyes, you will be
given a greater vantage point to view your life and yourself, and to see
more of who you are and more of what your gifts are.  And then a new
awareness and new opportunities present themselves to you so you can
continue to move forward in life.

It is important at this time, also, to spend some time in extracting in
your heart the idea of what the financial support should look like, and
just ask to be guided into those places where you can earn your material
living to hold you in a state until your new path begins to emerge.  How
long will this take? I cannot say.  But if you follow the leadings of
your inner spirit and open yourself even more now you will be guided, and
you will find that which you so honestly seek within you.  Does this
help?  

Student:  Yes, thank you.  

Student: Welmek, I have a comment and a question.  I really love this
topic of re-coursing. I'm poised to truly have my life changed as I
desire to serve Michael as it has been consecrated and valued for some
time now.   I'm finishing up some things that sort of needed to be
finished, and I am grateful for the teaching and the empowerment that I
have, and I am looking forward to fulfilling my commission. I'm very
unsure about what form it will take.  I feel pulled in several directions
in terms of ministry. I was wondering if you have any advice that would
be edifying for me?  

Welmek:  Your desire to serve is vast.  And as vast as is this desire are
your gifts.  Spend time in looking at your gifts.  Spend time writing
down what it is that fills your soul with love, with joy, with lightness
of being.  Spend time after you have written these down looking at these
words carefully.  Take them into the stillness.  Offer them to the
Father, and ask for an expanded awareness of who you are and what that
gift means in your life.  You will have time in the new life that you are
moving to; opportunities to do this.  And I encourage you now, as you
re-course your life, to spend some time in contemplation of this.  The
myriad threads of your personality are all being woven together in a
harmonious and very beautiful dressing that you present to the world.  

There will be many opportunities that will come your way to give of your
talents, to show your beauty, to be of true service.  As you come to
appreciate yourself more, you will naturally feel the inclination to
share it more.  And the more you wish to share of yourself in loving
service, the more opportunities will come your way to fulfill them to
your hearts' content.  (Does this help?)  Yes, it does.  Thank you. (Is
there anything else you need to ask of me?)

Student:  Do you know anything about the other races that live on the
planet and their importance?

Welmek:  I am not understanding your question.  

Student:  Well, it's definitely off topic, Welmek so we'll bring it up
some other time.  Thanks.

Welmek:  I would like you now, if you are willing to take this idea of
re-course into the stillness for a few moments, and ask your spirit to
show you a deeper meaning of what this word means for you.  And we will
bring this word back into the lesson and I will ask you to share with me
a thought or so, if you are so willing, of what you perceived in your
stillness time.  Please proceed.  (Long pause.)  

Welmek:  Are there any comments or ideas that come to mind in this idea
of recoursing your life?  

Student:  Well, Welmek, the most obvious idea is the idea of forming our
resolve to live in God's world and to be about our Father's work, because
this is what Jesus talked about being in the world but not of it, in the
sense of our personal, or our being more of altruistic service rather
than simply working for material gain.  Trusting that our needs will be
taken care of.  Needs will be provided for at least this is the direction
I've been going toward for some time now.  It seems to be the message
that has been coming through on lots of levels.  

Welmek:  It is as if your sights are focused on the spiritual unfolding
of the ideal divine plan.  And in keeping your sights focused on this,
you are more free to enjoy - while you would use the word work, but it is
not work, it is a joyful undertaking.  And in this deep awareness of your
needs are being met, and seeing that they are met, gives you a higher
level of motivation, and the capacity to see the plan with clearer
vision.  And that continually affords you increasing levels of faith and
courage and hope to keep you moving forward.  Seek first the kingdom and
all things lesser will follow.  

This is the idea.  And in this concept of re-course, you are resolving
yourself to stay true to those ideal potentials within you that are now
activated deep within your soul.  It is a matter of refocusing and
refocusing your gaze on the spirit until the spiritual realm becomes so
real and so highly identified within your being that to see other than
this would seem to be strange or foreign to you.  And this does grow in
time.  It progressively increases within you, the more you consciously
choose to see this.  And the way to begin to do this is to ask to see all
things - those things that you need to see - from God's perspective.  And
you are taken into that realm of deeper and broader spiritual awareness,
and increasing your capacity to love, to be loved, to serve, and to be
served.  And this is all what you are now actively allowing to unfold in
your life.  

Are there any other comments or ideas?

Student:  Yes, Welmek this is D.  And I keep on getting this same message
that I am at the threshold of experiencing my own magnificence, who I
truly am.  And it seems like I've always had this vision of how human
beings ought to be living on this planet - in our true divinity.  And I
know I have so much to give and to share with others, both silently and
verbally.  And I know I have these gifts that I have been holding on,
constrained to express, or have others experience.  I also understand
there's a time and a place for everything.  

You alone know the challenges that I have experienced over the past year
and a half, and am experiencing with my daughter right now.  But it seems
like with each new challenge that I get nourished, I expand, I evolve.  I
become more centered or focused in the vision of who I am, as an
expression of God.  

Welmek:  And this is the unfolding of your true self, and you will
continue (Tape ends.)….a unique way of showing our Father's love in the
world.  

The idea of re-course that I wish to ask you now is to take this
word-idea-concept and to ask for it to blend with your awareness of who
you are as a child of God, to fashion you into a stream where you can be
of more service throughout the day.  This is an expanded awareness of
yourself; for as you know, when you align with the Father, He grows who
you are, and He moves you into different streams of life so that you can
express more of the beauty of yourself in different avenues, to broader
ranges of individuals.  And I ask you to take this idea now and to merge
this into your awareness of what it is that you wish to do in life so
that you have more opportunities to be of service.  Do you understand
what I am suggesting?  

Student: Yes, I do.  I feel constrained by obligations and sense of duty.
 And my physical work that I do in order to make ends meet, so to speak,
and I get this, I don't know, I can't think of the right word, but just
this cycle of - I work to pay bills, and then I keep working to pay -
that kind of thing.  And I'm just tired of that.  And I want to re-course
that.  I want to move on to be who I am, to live, to uplift this, not
only just myself, my little universe, but this whole planet.

Welmek:  My brother, this is what I am suggesting to you now in this
blended awareness of who you are, and how to re-course your life. You
will find yourself being separated from the idea of your financial
obligation. And I say this carefully: the more you separate yourself from
the idea of being obligated, the more you will free yourself to be of
service, and the more opportunities for service will come your way.  You
will be supported.  You will not fail to meet your financial obligations,
but you must begin in your mind's eye to see the bigger picture, so you
can naturally be separated from the idea of the obligation.  And so you
understand my meaning, do you not?  (Yes, I do.  I understand very
clearly.)  Thank you. 
I would add this note, as an observation of human nature. Strive for the
ideal instead of focusing on what you need to let go of. For in striving
for the ideal, you naturally allow your mind to attach itself to this. 
And when you attach yourself to a new idea, the old idea becomes easier
to let go.  And so, growth becomes gentle and more simplified, and this
is the way we encourage you to always pursue your life, in this ease, in
this flow.  That is not to say that you will not be given challenging
circumstances, but in always seeking the ideal, always will you be given
the tools to meet your challenges and obstacles with hope and courage and
strength and fortitude and perseverance, and every other good thing you
need to be victorious.  Are there any other comments?

Student:  I just have one question, Welmek.  It is, in my experience
that, and often times in my life, I have not felt that I have been given
what I need, and that I've been led very close to the edge of the abyss,
more than once, to the point where I felt that, that was something that
I'm meant to use later on - that experience of nakedness and shame or
terror or vulnerability, confusion, to force me to rely on myself,
without any help.  So I was wondering if you could comment on that,
because I notice that I'm, I have a quality of, sort of, vigilance.  It's
starting to lessen now with church connection, but yeah, it's still
there.  So I was just wondering if you had any comment?  

Welmek:  My dear brother.  I say this with the utmost gentleness and
compassion for your condition, and of who you are as a brilliant child of
God.  The abyss is not a place of fear, it is a place of unknowing.  And
in the unknowing, when you allow yourself to be in that darkness, and
calling out for your Father, you will be embraced; you will be upheld.
But the human mind does not naturally lend itself to being in the abyss,
especially when it feels dark and terrifying. The human mind resists with
forceful will, and does everything it can within the psyche to create
that feeling of, "No! I will not go there."  But I say to you, that this
place is the place to go, for this is the only place where your faith can
really be activated, and catapult you to a higher of understanding, a
higher vision of who you are and who God is, and how God loves you and
supports you.  

The shame, the degradation is illusory, but it is a real feeling in human
experience, and therefore the mind fights it because, at the level of
your soul, you know that this is truly not who you are.  But there is
this vast chasm between total surrender and abandonment in this
unknowingness and the comfort seeking desire of the fundamental animal
nature.  And so I say to you, my friend, ask for courage.  Ask for faith.
 Ask for hope, and take a deep breath, and jump, and see where that takes
you.  (Thank you.)  Does this help?  (Yes?)  

I sense great trepidation and doubt in your mind.  (Not really?)  How can
I further assist you in this?

Student:  I guess the only thing I might add to it is that there have
been, during these times I've prayed, repeatedly, before I even knew the
church now.  And so, I felt nothing, really!  So it's interesting that
there is this relationship, and yet one can feel quite cut off at times. 
It's confusing to me - that to get a response from God is not as simple
as asking, sometimes; there's more to it.   

Welmek:  God responds to every sincere petition of the human heart.  It
is not always an experience that you will be consciously aware of,
however.  And there are those mis-connections of mind and body that you
perceive, I should say that, are perceived that circumvent the conscious
recognition of God's presence within you.  It is at this time of being in
the unknowingness, where your capacity to have your being re-encircuited
is the greatest, for your mind and your body are no longer resisting, and
it can be reintroduced with those spiritual endowments that are necessary
for the conscious recognition of the presence and love of your Creator
Father/Mother-God.  

And as I said, the human mind does not relish being in that place of
unknowingness very much.  And so when you feel disconnected, what impetus
do you have to staying there?  But I say to you, my friend, that if you
stay in the unknowingness, and accept it, and be comfortable in the
unknowingness, you will have greater awareness growing within you. And it
will open you, and connect you in the way that you desire, and will feed
your soul with joy and love and gladden your heart for many days to come.
 

You do not have to do this alone though; Jesus is with you. In your
mind's eye, take His hand and ask Him as a brother to lead you into that
place of unknowingness and to sit with you while you are becoming more
familiar with what that means.  Does this help?  (Yes.)  Does this
satisfy you?  (Yes.)

Welmek:  Re-coursing your lives means change, means transition, and
sometimes upheaval.  And this is why it is fundamentally vital for you to
spend time in stillness and asking to see yourself from God's
perspective, and in seeing a broader picture of the divine plan. This is
your foundation, this is your anchor, and this is your safe home while
you are in the midst of this tremendous change that will happen to you
individually, and as part of being a member of society.  I cannot
emphasize how important it is to seek the stillness and to stay in this
place for as long as you can each day, and even several times a day -
taking those breaks of five to ten minutes and to be still and to
re-anchor yourself.  

You are undergoing dual energy forces, a deeper anchoring while you are
in the very midst of change.  And this paradox will be with you for many
years to come. So I encourage you to practice this, over and over, this
idea of being in the stillness. Spend time in being in the unknowingness,
so that when change comes, you are not restless in your soul, but firmly
anchored in the source of peace, love, safety, comfort and security that
will keep you strong, no matter what life brings to you.

We will discuss this more in-depth in the coming weeks, for there is more
I wish to share with you on this idea.  But for now, I leave you with my
love, and the love of all of the celestial friends who minister to you,
who watch over you, and who cherish you as our younger brothers and
sisters.  We love you deeply.  Good evening.
