Teleconference 1-22-04.....Transmitter Rick Giles

Sharmon: I greet you as a brother in residence on this planet...this is
Sharmon...I am a midwayer ..hello.
It is a great reward  to each one of my fellows to receive your enlistment
in our upliftment program for planet Urantia.  It has been a long wait as we
midwayers have expected this time of return to integration within normal
system functions. While my order of being has struggled with great
dedication towards improving this world and to overcome and adjust for our
prior mistakes, we are delighted to have you taking up the task of spreading
light, sharing love. We midwayers and you human beings are at the most
priviledged position in this long line of cosmic workers under the banner of
Michael. The evol,utionary worlds ..I am told.. are the frontlines of
Supreme evolutuion. It is here that we touch the edge that defines the real
that is actual and the reality that lies in potential. This is not a smooth
edge as our planetary history portrays. In a sense we must diligently persue
the gathering of truth in order to increase our wisdom for we are not
located on worlds in realms  wherein the functioning of celestial order is
well established. and while our world emerges from the status of a
quarantined planet, I inform you that even worlds that escape such events
as rebellion, of status similar to ours, being inhabited by human creaturtes
and midwayers, likewise find great difficulty persuing the higher noble and
sp iritual stature that is so available thoughout the many schools of
Nebadon and beyond.

You each hear me today because you have established in your soul a
relationship with our divine Father, and with this relationship you have
likewise developed a passion to demonstrate the beauty of such a
relationship and for that demonstration to act in an educational manner for
your fellowss in a ministry to reveal that such a friendship with God is
possible and so real in it's impact upon the soul, that life changes
dramatically to adjust to the new values that come into view because of such
a fellowship.

In your uncovering of this sacred bond between Creator Father and creature
child, you likewise have undertaken the study of many expressions of
religious and philosophic thought, that you may better comprehend what you
experience personally in the depths of communion, that you may find words to
describe the sacred relationship, that you may develop expressive structures
to convey to your fellows the  true treasure that this embrace with God
brings. Through your developing understanding, a twofold power develops.
One, of the knowledge of the direct relationship you have with divine
spirit,  and the clarity and mind of the meaning of this relationship to
your own progress, to planetary welfare.  These join together in the impulse
of service to bring about assistance to those in your life who are
searching, who are hungry, to seek to open the door behind which the
brilliance of spirit luminosity may pour forth and open their eyes.

We midwayers stand between you and our angelic fellows. We are integrators
of that which is on high and that which is here on this earth. And you, I
tell you today, are a kin to us. Everyone of you dedicated to Michael and
the promotion of his message of good will. You are also integrators of the
experience of spirit fellowship and the engagement in terrestial life. We
have a freedom in this integration for each one of us endowed with unique
personality are given by the law of this singular uniqueness, the
opportunity to reexpress our cosmic understanding in daily life. It is an
act of translation which often does not come word by word, rather is
expressed meaning by meaning.

In the depth of your stillness, you grasp the significance of divine
prescence but this contact ofted fails to conform to word structure. Each
one of us, both midwayer and human being, must creatively express the
reality of such a contact to others in need. It is on record, that ages
past, my midwayer fellows made great mistakes in attempting to bring about a
hasty integration of the way of the higher realms with the living conditions
of Urantia. And while our world has taken a course quite unlike other
planets, we midwayers have
received the acknowledgement of the Salvington administrators, that we are
accepted, in spite of our faults and further encouraged to continue to
persue light and life. I encourage you likewise to not fear the unknown, to
persue adventurously the path of progress, to temper the adventure with a
keen alertness to cosmic adjustment to personal correction, for it is this
balancing input that will straighten our path, that will guide us as we
express our understanding of the goal for all life on this world.

A translator must adhere to the integrity of the expression as it is
transformed into a new expression. However, often while content does not
change, the manner in which it is expressed must be adjusted. The will of
God is present throughout all the universes. You who have put your finger of
the pulse of this divine will are translating it into your individual lives
and I assure you that every one of my kind, assist, and will continue to
assist you, in both a deeper comprehension of this will as it bears upon
your personal significance and in a greater clarification of your expression
of this will as it becomes literally you, a representative of Michael, a
universe member, resident upon Urantia.

I am not one to speak long, and so at this moment I would ask you to give
your input into this collection of sincere souls.

Manu: Dear brother Sharmon, thankyou so much for you're wonderful progress
as well as all the other midwayers who have been doing this for thousands
and thousands of years. We really appreciate the help.
I have many many questions racing through my mind as you were speaking,
specific questions about your experiences, but I'm just going to ask you one
for now which is ...could you talk about the relationship that you all have
with the Father. Could you please give me any personal advice on how to
advance that personal relationship?...or advance on the spiritual path on
which we are all traversing?

Sharmon: I would offer two comments...one is that while you persue deeper
relationships with God actively,
exerting your own energies... to increase your contact. That ,coupled with
this effort , is a willingness to simply wait and to receive the outreach of
the divine prescense while seeking  deeper contact it can be overlooked in
the pu rsuit that the prescense of the Father is already with you and that a
passive receptive alertness will emerge to the recognition of his indwelling
and company. Secondly, and subsequent to this two-fold contact is the effort
you make to uplift your everyday affairs to the stratus of spirit ascension.
Let not the tasks of the world be divorced from your pursuit of the divine.
Merge them. Uplift the one as you bring down and integrate the Holy into
your moment to moment existence. By increasing your awareness of divine
accompaniment, you will naturally  enhance your sense of divine contact, and
this association, like and good friend, deepens through minute by minute,
hour by hour, day by day interrelationship....More questions?

Manu: Thankyou dear brother...just a quick followup on this wonderful
advice. As a midwayer, currently without a thought adjuster, how do you pray
and seek divine contaact?

Sharmon: Much of my sense of divine contact is derived through our natural
tendency, as midwayers, to bond together in brotherly fellowship. This
association reveals to us the Father of all and while we are not indwelt as
you are with the divine prescense, we are in make-up, able to receive such
indwelling,and this
open capacity for the reception of the divine fragment is temporarily filled
through cosmic intrusion by our beloved Michael and Mother Spirit. These two
brilliant Creator Beings see to it that we are filled with divine prescense,
nurtured, energized and refreshed. This contact sweetens our longing for the
day when we will receive this precious gift of Father that you have already
this day. And when you likewise feel alone and contact is difficult, I
encourage you to do as we midwayers. Associate together in fellowship, for
it is in this collection, in this gathering of family members, that the
divine parent is revealed...that the divine prescense becomes more
tangible.....I hope this helps.

Manu: Thankyou dear elder brother......pause..

Dominic: I read in an earlier transcript the word Merkaba. Can you explain a
little about that to me?

Sharmon: Merkaba...is the word expressing the conceptual development of a
region of consciousness and personality association wherein divine
luminosity  may enter and impact the human mind and soul. And while
it has evolved from human observation, it is descriptive of that state of
prescense of mind and spirit awareness. It is unique in that it is not a
location with co-ordinates in space...it is rather existent  due to
expansion of mind and the interassociation of minds. It is a state of being
established through Nebadonia. The Merkaba functions just as does the
statement of Jesus' that  where two or more are gathered, there he is also.
Being a state without location, you are not restricted to being anywhere
specifically in order to rise into that chamber filled with divine
luminosity. You may enter at any time from anywhere. It is a superconscious
realm. The more you seek to function in this state...the greater will this
superconsciousness infiltrate your normal awareness, and  the more easily
will the light of Christ be revealed. Michael and Mother Spirit are
personally the two poles of energy charge, that is felt by any who rise into
this state of awareness. With the polarity of our local universe Spirit
prescense and our local universe Son prescense,you become energized in the
cross-current as they charge you just as does your mechanical electrical
storage
device...a battery. I hope this has supplemented your understanding of this
state of being.

Yes...thankyou.

Manu: Sharmon I have a curiosity question and if you don't want to answer
that is totally fine. There is a religious tradition in India and in Calif.{
the Self Realization Fellowship}, which refers to an ascendent being called
Baba-Ji, whose description appears to me to be much like a midwayer. He
apparently has lived around that part of the world for many thousands of
years. I was wondering if you could comment on this?

Sharmon: You have made a connection between the traditions around this
entity in India and the activities of our midwayer order. The engagements we
midwayers make in the affairs of our human brothers and sisters often are
through an interconnection and association with mortals who are able to
associate sympathetically with our state of being. This allows each midwayer
a chance to continue to minister to our human fellows over the course of
centuries in spite of the continual exits of humans from this world to the
higher realms. And while some of the descriptions of this being contact with
the sincere seekers of spiritual truths do not fully accurately describe who
Baba-Ji is, nonetheless the prescense is real and  the engagement in human
life is real.

Manu: Thankyou very much for confirming that for me. It is appreciated.

Sharmon: I'm delighted to further your understanding of our
interassociation.

Manu: If there are no other questions dear brother Sharmon could you please
close this session with a prayer to the Father.

Sharmon: It is an honor to give expression for all my fellows in this
manner.

To the one we regard as the Holiest of Holies, Sacred of all Sacredness, we
orient our will, we open our hearts, we empty our minds, that our purpose be
the unfoldment of your plan for universe growth as it transpires in
individual lives. May we, Father of all, ever remain diligent in our
orientation to you. May the activities of our lives prove not distractions
but opportunities for the outworking of your will. You  have bestowed upon
each of us life, and done so in manifold ways. Every creature, every order
of creatures, unique , this is your will. May we always acknowledge your
value of our lives. That while we may fail or falter in inadequecy, our very
unique individuality is your gift. Within each of us Father, we hunger to be
in your prescense and as we all ascend to you to be in oneness at your abode
in paradise, help us all to honor your purpose of personality expression of
the unfoldment of talents. May we bring home to you unique experiences in
this cosmic adventure that you have bestowed upon us all. We give our
love..the love you've given us , we return to you. Thankyou.
