Machiventa Melchizedek/Abraham
February 28, 2002


Machiventa:  This is Machiventa Melchizedek who addresses you this
evening.  Your teacher, Welmek, has graciously afforded me this
opportunity to address you now.  And he will not be joining you this
evening so I may speak a few words to you, and then teacher Abraham will
be here for the lesson.  

You have made a bold decision to be here this evening and to hear the
words we impart to you.  The methods of truth have long been subverted on
Urantia.  And now with the spiritual currents opened and available to
all, the upreach by humans and the down grasp of spirit is complete. It
is a time of great triumph and joy as we watch events unfold on this
strife-filled world. But that time is limited.  And as we boldly move
forward into a new era, the dawn of truth, the era of light and life, it
gives me great pleasure to address you personally, for each of you has
chosen to be an instrumental piece in the healing of your world.  We
commend you for this, for it is your faith that is now setting the stage
for this planetary transformation.  And the more public you make your
faith proclaimed to your brothers and sisters, the greater the healing
and transformative effect it will have on the collective consciousness,
social environment and physical structure of this world.  Will this be an
easy undertaking?  It will have its challenges and it will have its
triumphs, but I say to you there is no other opportunity like this now,
and I encourage you to find those deep recesses within your being that
call you forth into action now, and let them overtake you and move you
more assuredly in this brave direction.  What greater service can you
offer your brothers and sisters than this, your walk of faith, your
proclamation of faith by your everyday moment to moment actions?  You are
the brave ones my friends, you are the true heroes of your world.  Step
proudly into this awareness.  Serve Michael! Serve one another!  Love one
another and transform this world! I take my leave. Good evening. 

Abraham: Good evening, my dear brothers and sisters of this planet.  This
is your brother once in the flesh, Abraham, who is now addressing you. 
While I am no longer in the form in which you inhabit, I do have many
memories of that time in my life.  And I tell you now, as one who was
once like you, to cherish these moments of being human.  For once you
have passed from the form of the flesh, those opportunities that you now
have placed before you to minister to your brothers and sisters as humans
will no longer exist.  Each person you encounter is a tiny helpless babe,
who is yearning for your loving touch, for your kind words of
encouragement, for your gentle ministrations.  This is what each person
on this world now needs massive doses of.  As you open your hearts and
allow more of the Father's love to flow through you, will you let this
love penetrate deeply into your brothers and sisters, by your hands, by
your arms, by your words, through your eyes?  These are your methods of
conveyance of the Father's love.  And I say to you now, as wide as you
can make them, let Him pour through each cell of your being the most
concentrated and purest form of love, as you minister to your brothers
and sisters.  

Your bodies are being attuned to sense, open, receive, and administer
this love.  You may not be fully aware of all of the vibrational
attunements that are happening within you.  But I do say to you, when you
are in your times of stillness, it is most propitious for you if you were
to tell your body now to receive this massive outpouring of love in
through you.  By its very nature then you will no longer be able to
contain it, and its outpouring into the people you encounter will be
palpable.  They will feel it. They will know you are the very minister of
the Father's love. They will come to you. You will have that magnetic
pull that will draw them to you. But what I am suggesting tonight is to
be consciously aware of now of being this magnet - of consciously saying
within your heart , within your mind, "yes, I am the Father's magnet. I
pull everyone within my sphere of influence to  me, so that they can know
of the Father."  There is nothing quite like this happening here and now
that has happened before on this planet.

As we watch you rise to these challenges, to these opportunities of
service, of loving ministry; we are filled with such hope, such
anticipation and expectation of the unfolding of Michael's plan. I
daresay that you can, from your perspective at this point, be able to
fully understand and comprehend the enormity of what you do.  But I know
your hearts, I know your willingness, and I know you will rise to meet
this new life that now awaits you.  I would be willing to hear your
comments on this, if you have any to share and then we can move on to
your questions. 

Student:  Just a comment, Abraham.  I was watching a video about an
Indian enlightened teacher, a Ramana Maharishi.  He sure was a magnet for
the Father's love the way you put it.  In the video there's all these
people trailing behind him, walking.  Wherever he walks, they walk.  It's
just pitiful. Sometimes there's hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of
people just sitting in his front yard, basically, wanting to be near him.
 And, what you said, made me think of his example of magnetizing people,
through the Father's, through this love.  Anyway, I just wanted to throw
that out, because that was the image that came to mind.

Abraham:  Human love magnets are still quite the anomaly, are they not?  

Student:  They really are. I mean there are celebrities that attract
people, but that's not the same, of course.  It seems to be a rarity.

Abraham:  And when people are in the presence, a soul hunger is touched,
and the people crave this or they instinctively and intuitively know that
this is what they need as their spiritual sustenance.  And so, like the
child, who clings to his mother's breast, these people cling to this
teacher for they get their very souls' nourishment from him.  But I say
to you, in being a love magnet, this does not mean that you must have
this ground-swelling entourage follow you throughout your day.  For we
encourage each of you, if you rise to this challenge to become this love
magnet, to actually allow your brothers and sisters to find the
independence that they need to stand on their own feet and become
children of the Father in their own right.  And so you help them find the
source that is within them. You help them to find that. You help them
stay anchored in that.  You help them to stay confident in their own
ability to connect with that on a practical and consistent basis.  Do you
see the distinction between the two dynamics here?

Student:  One being a guru making people dependent on him and the other
being a teacher who's giving people tools to take on their own, to do, to
use without the guru's presence.  

Abraham: Yes, exactly. 
 
Student: To his credit, this teacher did not permit people to make him
into a guru and he was one of the first in the century to really turn
that away.  But certainly your point is well taken.

Abraham:  The true love magnet has no need for self-aggrandizement.  The
true love magnet will allow those individuals to become magnetized in
their own right and to spread the love as they go by.  But there is
something inherent in human nature that cultivates this dependence.  And
it is within the humans as a bond that exists between the divine parent
and the human child that is natural and that is one that will endure as
the individual progresses through their universe up until the time when
they leave for their spirit career in the greater superuniverse.

And so there is this somewhat of an artificial bond that the humans may
attach themselves to the human love magnet instead of attaching
themselves to the divine love source.  And so it will be incumbent upon
you to help the individual to expand their cosmology and to know who and
where and what is the divine source, so that these individuals will be
attached to the true source at all times.  Do you see the distinction
here?  

Student:  I do. And I have a follow-up question.  A practical question
about that, because you mentioned expanding the cosmology.  Many of my
friends follow this teacher that I mentioned and his tradition and as you
may know I'm publishing a book about that as well.  And all of these
people are aware, through this teacher and through his lineage, of the
indwelling spirit.  But they don't have a cosmology, like you were
saying, that includes the Paradise Father and Christ Michael and the
Mother.  And, I would just love to have your guidance on how to work with
those people to expand their cosmology.  And short of giving them a
Urantia Book, I mean, how do you, how would you go about expanding their
cosmology for those who already understand the indwelling spirit
teaching, what Ramana Marharishi calls, "The Witness", the "Divine
Witness within".

Abraham: I would emphasize the relationship that exists between divine
parent and human child.  Within these religious philosophies is a sense
of self autonomy, is there not?  (Byron - Yes.) And self-autonomy
indicates a posture of independence.  That I say to you, this sense of
independence is illusory for in as much as you are children within a
segmented section of the universe, you have obligations and
responsibilities toward your divine parents.  And they have
responsibilities and obligations to help you mature, help you to grow in
understanding of the environment of the universe, just as the human
parents have the responsibility to teach their children about the ways of
the physical world.

And so, if you were to use this simple analogy and say, in the universe
there are many levels of worlds and experiences to come to understand and
you live in a vast universe, teaming with life, awash in ideas and facts
to learn.  And you have these wonderful parents who want to teach you and
help you to grow and to learn the ways of the universe.  You have reached
an age of maturity in your physical being, but have you truly reached a
spiritual maturity that would allow you to know all of these things and
to experience everything that you could possibly imagine?  And so if a
person is truly honest and sincerely seeking, they will answer, "no, I
would like to learn more."

And then you can introduce the idea of the analogy of the spiritual
parents and help them to understand that there is no reason for them to
be autonomous now and to be independent, but to go to their spiritual
parents for their needs and to help them foster this relationship of
being small children still of the spirit with tremendous potential and
capacity to learn.  Let that be the posture that will most serve them or
best serve them at this time - one of spiritual dependence on their
divine parents.  Is this helpful to you?  

Student:  Yeah, it sure is.  Thank you, Abraham.  I'll be able to use
that.  And now I will yield the floor to others, unless you have any more
to say on that.

Abraham: The eastern religions have fostered a great understanding of the
nature of consciousness, but it has reached its zenith in that regard and
now it is time for an expanded awareness of the intrinsic nature and the
relationship between spirit child and divine parents.  And this is one
that will trigger great amazement, conversation, and interest when it is
presented with love and with the true intention to serve

Abraham:  I will be most happy to entertain your questions.

Student:  Abraham, I would first like to express my gratitude for your
teaching  and your wisdom.  I'm just coming into an understanding of my
own faith and beliefs and feeling called to speak it and not knowing
quite how.  I'm having some fear about how it will be received and so any
guidance you can give me in that regard would be appreciated.

Abraham:  My dear sister, how well I understand your reservations.  How
well I understand human ego resistance to hearing the truth, to being
aware enough in one's own mind to embrace the light that another shares. 
I encourage your efforts to speak out and to minister to others.  And as
you find your confidence within yourself building, you will find your
reservations diminishing about how the words you speak are perceived. 
For you will find that in connecting with your spirit and allowing those
impulses you sense within you to grow stronger, they will begin to
formulate ideas and words within you that will seem to be naturally
spoken.  This will unfold in time.  This will take time for you to feel
the faith pull so strongly in you that you can speak your truth with
confidence.  I am encouraging you to think about what it is that you
would like to convey to people as you minister to them.  What is it that
your spirit is communicating to you that is something that would be
naturally received by them.  When you enter into a conversation with
another person, take a few a moments to compose your mind, to open the
spiritual current and to say,  "Not my words Father, but yours."  This is
always the most effective posture that you can take in dealing with
another human.  For any communicating from the spirit, you will
instinctively be addressing their spirit and their spirit will have an
opportunity to communicate to them in their own time and at their level
of receptivity.  And one other communication skill or secret which I
would like to share with you is to open your heart and draw a line from
your heart to theirs' and say: "Father let your love flow from me into
them so they can feel my sincerity, they can feel Your presence in me and
know that I am representing you in speaking to them.  Does this help? 
(Student:  Yes.  Thank you very much.)  You will also have these words in
written form to help you remember at a future date.  It would be
advisable to read this answer to you several times so that it allows the
words to permeated and penetrate deep within your being.  

Are there other questions I may address for you this evening? 

Student:   Yes, Abraham.  This is D.  I'm not sure if this is a question
or not but over the past three or four months, I have been tested in my
faith in deepening by connection and communion with God, my Father.  And
I feel like I have been succeeding in opening up myself to the love and
to the excellent being, that love made.  And it seems that over the last
couple days, in fact, when I was at the stillness with D,  It's like my
whole being is opening up, but at the same time I feel very

(Tape ends and a portion of the conversation was not recorded.  Tape
picked up at the point where a student was asking a question about why a
family member was having headaches. 

Abraham:  Answer continuing.  It appears as if there is some
incompleteness in some of the neuron connections and  there are pockets
of gray matter or shadows that are not allowing the neurotransmitters to
complete their job and at times there are certain physiological
conditions fostered by certain foods.  This can trigger the incompletion
of exchange and create pressure and headache.  I encourage you to look at
those healing modalities that help to re-electrify and re-encircuit the
neurotransmitters.  There are certain homeopathic and aroma therapeutic
substances that will be beneficial.  But I feet that this would be better
addressed in another setting at a later date.  For there is other
information that would be helpful for you to hear and learn, but I
believe for right now, this will help you in your ministration to her. 
Is this acceptable to you?   (Yes, it is.  Thank you.) 

I perceive there is a natural shift in the attention span now in the
transmitter so I deem it best to conclude, and to say that I have enjoyed
my time with you this evening for I rarely do speak to this group.  And
so I send you my prayers for you continued growth and revealing of the
Father's love in your life.  Shalom.
