Hello All,
I was thrilled to receive, from 24 year-old Jeff Hicks, the transcripts from this most promising new Syracuse/Plessis, NY TeaM Group that began forming last summer. I post below, with Jeff's permission, the meeting from December 18, 2005, where Lantarnek introduces group teacher, Layonta, evidently one of the unrevealed order of Descending Daughters of which Serena and Julianna are a part of. Each will be materializing as female mortals upon Monjoronson's staff according to information many have received.
The other three (and more) Syracuse/Plessis NY TeaM Group meetings will likely soon be posted on www.tmarchives.com in the following manner, according to Ron Besser: Layonta011506PlessisNY04-Anonymous_Judgement&Forgiveness.
Peace and love....

Transcript #3 12-18-05 - @ Noelle's home in Syracuse, NY
Teachers: Anonymous, Lantarnek Melchizedek, Layonta [First introduction as group teacher.]
Students: Gary, Julie, Jean, Noelle, Flash, Pat, Jeff
[We started the group with the ringing of a crystal bowl, and went into stillness for a few minutes.
We did not hold hands, as there were many of us, and we were seated in a large circle in the living room.]
[Prayer]
Jeff:
To our Creator Parents:
We have come to recognize so much in the written word that's in our world, there for us to find spirit truth and meaning. May we open ourselves to the gifts that we've already been given in true spirit, and may we open ourselves to experience these gifts more fully. May we be more aware to receive them, for that is the purpose in which they are given.
We thank you for allowing us to come together, for guiding us to come together and experience the true meaning of fellowship in spirit. And may we be open to receive any gifts you bring in this season of gift-giving-and-receiving with clarity and spiritual purpose. Thank you.
[Stillness for about 5 minutes.]

We bring greetings to the group. Before we begin with lessons and offerings of spiritual value, we ask each of you to imagine yourselves as a flower opening in your stillness. We wish for you to receive these gifts you speak of more fully. There are many who are gathered here for the purpose of bringing you these gifts today. We ask first that you sit and think of yourselves not as humans coming together, but as spirit beings recognizing what you are, and as we mentioned, this is like a flower. So please sit for a moment and open yourselves, as we pour these gifts, this water of life, among you, so that you may float higher in your value-purpose.
[Stillness for another couple of minutes.]
We realize it is the fellowshipping with us spiritual friends that you seek. But also understand there is a purpose that is experiential to this gathering. We wish for you to feel the connection between each of you on a spiritual level. Our words may come in to guide this effort and we do have lessons and teachers to introduce you to, but the experiential factor of this gathering is so important and primal to the unity there-in. Allow yourselves to be filled with joy. Open your hearts, relax, and feel as one connected unit.
[Stillness for another couple of minutes.]

You have already created a sacred circle in this space. This circle was created by your intent. We are surrounded, physically, with fire and water. [Referring to the fire we had going and the fountain that was running in the background.] Bring in the balance of air and earth. Bring in the balance of your physical body and the mental body; and the creativity and the flowing. Be at one with yourself, as this circle is one unit; for this circle is guided by your intent, and intent is all.
It is the sacredness and the pureness of the hearts within this circle that bring you to a place where we can meet. It is in this meeting where we find joy, great joy; for it is at times like this when you are truly giving in your hearts and your hearts are open. And yes we speak of your physical heart as well; for even though you, as humans, have the tendency [Noelle: I'm hearing laughing] to separate those aspects of yourselves; you are all one unit working together as a unit within what you call your physical body.
This you already know, what you are looking for is how to bring those units together; how to bring together that which you call the spiritual and the mental and the emotional and the physical. It is no easy task, but this is the task that you set yourselves as you chose to bring the spiritual into the material world. And this is the work that you do; the work of which we are so proud.
Gary:
*[Transmitting/Receiving?]
I'm being prompted to say that, the group needs to be reminded again that this is not as serious a business as we try to make it.
[Group laughter]
*[Note from Jeff: "Third-Person T/R", this happens from time to time when we don't feel confident enough to speak for the celestial, but rather about what we think we are receiving, in a third-person fashion. This is actually a good way to get into the process of trying to speak directly for them, only without the pressure of the concentration on being a clear transmitter. This mission has a great focus on our conscious interaction with our spirit friends, not just on some method of transmitting lessons or words more or less directly from a celestial being.]
Jeff:
I feel, too that they enjoy our informal discussion as much as they enjoy us coming together in a serious platform to connect. And they wish for us to interact as though we are already interacting with them in an informal way; simply recognizing the experiential acquirement of spirit values while doing this.

Indeed your circle was created before you arrived here physically. And it is the power of that intent that you feel, that you seek, that you already know that you can use.

Each time a person who is of spiritual purpose finds another like seeker out there, someone who holds those values; there is a magnetic attraction which will forever work to draw those people back together again. For this is what you find in this circle, that you feel the attraction to schedule meetings, to make the effort to meet together for the attraction of spirit is so powerful. For you know the transformation in your lives, the potentials that can be turned into actualities, is so needed for this world.

Know also that it is the child-like wonder within you that pushes you beyond limits that you set for yourselves. Allow this child; allow this child its laughter, its hope, its joy; the wonderment, the awe, of engaging in a mystery. But the mystery is awe. We, too, have mystery. Yet we try to share with you that which we can. [Open up] your hearts to that place that you knew when you were very young, because truly you are young. You are like children, curious children, children who want to know; children whose capacity for knowing and understanding is ever growing stronger, and ever widening. But you create circles of light [for] your paths. It is amazing to us, nonetheless, that we see you walk in oblivion. Your awareness is not there 100% of the time. But that is as it should be for you live in the physical world as well. But it amazes us that even when you do not have that awareness of the spiritual peace within you, you are still acting in a spiritual way. And you are moved by that guidance within, in choosing your path, in choosing where you walk, in choosing what you do, in choosing how you interact with others. It is this beacon of light that is the "ever-growing-brighter" in this little corner of the universe. And yes it is attracting attention. And yes we laugh, for we laugh out of joy and lightness for the love in your hearts that is growing.

There are now many beings on this planet who have eternal origins, even beings we could tell you the ages of, for not all are eternally created. But we do not wish to make you feel too humble; for you know you have great work to accomplish, and you must feel that the power of the Creator does lie within your grasp to help you in all your endeavors. Sometimes you do forget in your perusal of many of these studies that your age in years makes you as but an embryo. We come to show you the great potential that lies within you. For in this embryo is the so-called "DNA pattern" of your eternal identity, your purpose. It is the joy of finding that purpose, it is the joy of the adventure rather than the destination that we seek to help you with, to help you become aware of.

[Calling] it a great adventure is far better suited to you than the word work. Work has become associated with you as something difficult: travail, tribulations, trials; whereas adventure brings out the child. The child wants to know and will seek and be spontaneous. It is a grand adventure that you are on. It is when you let that spirit come through, each and every one of you individually and collectively, that you find the joy, that you find a place where the spiritual and the physical are connected, truly connected. It is in that space where you play, even though you have another specific meaning for play. Call it all an adventure. And if you must use the word work, work to bring the work and play together. For you surely are playing, and you are role-playing. And you each take on a persona in your world to bring another piece of the divine into the physical.

Remember that in this grand, infinite creation of our Father-Mother-Parent, whatever you wish to call it; that Source and Center which created it all did it not so you may look upon it as too real and too physical, too enduring. But so that you as a child of this Creator may gaze in wonder at the infinite adventure that is open to you in this vast playground. And we call it a playground even though there are, at times, serious goals to be accomplished. We call it a playground because everything is secure, everything of value is safe in the bosom of our Creator, this entire universe is safe. We wish you to not feel so un-eased at times because of the apparent reality of the physical world. We want you to recognize that this is simply your current construct of reality, your current world-view that makes things seem insecure. As a child you can feel as though you are within a totally safe environment and the Father wants you to play, to have fun, to find the other siblings out there that enjoy the same activities as you, but to also seek out that which is different; for everything can bring new learning to you. The diversity of this vast creation is not without purpose.

[Transmitter/Receiver - Noelle]
We would also like you to know that as we use the word child and children, in your perceptions of children and childhood, we do not mean children to be punished, children to be restricted, children who have to learn discipline; we mean the freedom to be a child and explore, freedom to use the curiosity, freedom to look out and ask questions and find out for yourself what rings true for you.

[Transmitter/Receiver - Jeff]
For your greatest gift as children, is that you can test the boundaries of these universal laws, you can test the boundaries of human institutions, you can test all those boundaries without feeling as though you are being convicted of some eternal crime. But learning from experience, and the eventual choice that you are given, [with] full-well knowledge of all the entailments of that choice for your eternal nature. this is why we want you to behave as children exploring. You know that there is a vast responsibility to becoming a being who chooses to do the will of that Creator. But know also that in the seeking out of why you choose to do this will, there will be many trials of your faith, there will be many trials of your purpose in whether or not it is okay to test those boundaries, for you would not be here if you had not already explored so much on this tiny world.

[Transmitter/Receiver - Noelle]
You know, too, that children need a safe place to return to. Because children will fall and scrape their knees and cut their fingers from their exploration; and they need a parent to go back to for comfort while they're out exploring just at home base. You have that home base within yourselves; you can go there any time you wish. When the discomfort arises, when you are feeling lost as you are fond to do; seek us out because we are there for you no matter what. There is nothing that you can do which would cause us to abandon you.

Indeed the very reason that this Infinite Creator chooses to indwell you in full experience of your lives, basically as you; the reason the Creator does this is so that he may also enjoy these adventures with you, may also be free to explore the finite world and re-learn what it is to be infinite. In conjunction with such experiences you are gifted as mortal children. It is the purpose of the divinely-eternally-created beings to descend to show you that that Father does indwell you, that that Creator does play with you; but also that that Creator is a center for which you are destined to return to; destined to return to so that you may unify all that vast adventure into a supreme and final purpose for your existing sense of being, your existence as a child of that God.

This, indeed, is not a far-off goal that will take millennia, that will take forever as what you perceive to be time. This is what you choose every time you choose to honor spirit. You have moved forward, you have brought spirit here. Honor your choices, regardless of what kind of judgment you might have put on these choices, for all your choices are leading to the same path one way or another. And of this we laugh, for you are indeed like children, and yes you make mistakes. But those mistakes also cause glee, because you are cute. You admire the puppies and the kittens and the animals. You are very much like them, especially when you manage to stay in the present time, and be who you are and allow yourselves to be who you are with open hearts. For this is why you come together, to share from the heart.

Indeed, becoming Eternal is not a matter of passing through eons and eons of time, but it is a matter of sipping more of the cup of Eternity in your day to day living; to that point where you will eventually sip fully of that cup, throughout all your days, because it is the choices that spirit guides you in making. It is the choices which bring you to Eternity. When your reaction to the outward environment is so centered on that Eternal Now, that presence of infinite wisdom; that is when you will know Eternity is yours. And then the adventure of experiencing all those encounters with all those other children, who are also yearning for the same grasp of eternity, will bring you forward from all that is good, true, and beautiful. For though you may be eternal, you will know that other places in the universe require the down-stepping of eternity, require the descending of those eternalized beings to bring more of those good, true, and beautiful patterns out to those who long for them.
There are many of us gathered here today who wish to introduce themselves to the group. There are those who have been working with the group since its inception, even before this in guiding you together who also wish to make themselves known on a more personal level to you. But also remember that constantly the spirit influences of the Universe Mother Spirit, and of Michael, your Creator Son, always pervade your endeavors.
Lantarnek Melchizedek wishes to step in.

Greetings: To all of you, I say welcome to your endeavors in this affair described as "The Correcting Time" and the "Teaching Mission". I have worked with many groups, and I have come to know this young T/R named Jeff very well. I have worked with him personally, and have assumed the responsibility of guiding him into the actions which help this mission endure. I am not your group teacher, but I will speak of and introduce you to her.
She is a being who, I use the word she because there are also descending daughters of God as well as descending sons, she is a being who comes with the vast order of beings somewhat unrevealed to you in your book of reference, for she is to be about the magisterial mission now forming on this planet. The reason I use the word she is because these beings, when they incarnate in physical form to be among the staff of the Magisterial Son, they choose feminine forms to incarnate as. And there will be in this new dispensation an equal number of male incarnations and female incarnations apart from the Magisterial Son.
Indeed the seriousness that you attribute to our names is not unwarranted for you hold personal names in high esteem. But we often remind you that the names in your word language are but physical representations. I am trying to convince this T/R to accept the name that he has already somewhat touched upon for this group teacher of yours.
[Jeff laughing to himself]
Layonta
[Transmitter/Receiver - Jeff]
Greetings to the group, you may call me Layonta. This is a name suitable to me, it is a name I tried patiently to get this T/R to accept, but I would also like to put this out to the group. I would ask each of you do you accept this name as a fitting representation for me as a somewhat feminine group presence, somewhat a group teacher for you?
Julie: Yes.
Layonta
[Transmitter/Receiver - Jeff]
Is there only one in this group today?
[Group laughter]
Gary: I think it's excellent.
Noelle:
I sensed a very strong feminine presence at one point but did not get a name. It wasn't just the mere description of a flower unfolding; it felt like a flower unfolding. But I didn't get a name with it, and it came really briefly after we started doing what we did, so yes that's a neat name.
Layonta
[Transmitter/Receiver - Jeff]
I am here to greet each of you and to let you all know individually that you are a part of a vast integration of groups both celestial and mortal working together in these times. I have come to bring many a lesson to this group and also to act as an anchor in the beginning formation of the many meetings of new beings who will be offered. My order of being is well-suited to this purpose of working with groups of mortals fairly new to the morontial contact on a world most recently liberated from its isolation. I am here working on the staff of Monjoronson with full authority under Michael and Mother Nebadonia.
I hold you all in such dearest aspirations, I hold you in my heart as though you were my own children, for I hail from Eternity, from Paradise, and I know very much the Love that the Creator himself has for you. For I am a hand coming down that is an extension of that very source; the same source which dwells within each of you, which reaches up to me as I anchor the group.
Your curiosity is very encouraging for I sense deep within each of you, many questions, many desires to know all that is going on in these times; but let me assure you that it is too much for you to know entirely the plans and out-workings. But my mission is to bring you into the knowledge, the wisdom that you are indeed a crucial part of this process. Your faith is so strong, that we now come here to bring you into what you are ready to receive as a morontia awareness.
Your souls grow every day within your being, and every day grow the connections that your mental and physical brain can make to this morontia awareness. This midway realm between the physical and the spiritual is a vast domain of progress, enlightenment, spiritual experiences, and service. The midwayers, some of whom gather around here today to facilitate this group process, are so close to you in origin and in function that it would not take much on your part in personal growth and a personal commitment to that spiritual growth to achieve recognition of their presence.
And we speak not of recognition on a physical level as though you may see them or hear them. But the first recognition of any morontial or spiritual being is that of personality presence in and around you. As you acquire more of your morontial awareness, you are in essence acquiring additional senses to those 5 physical senses which play a part in your biological organism. The morontial senses which you acquire are first like a very fuzzy lens, so in essence you may recognize the spirit presence of a midwayer around you as only an inkling of some spiritual thought, of some awareness that your faith tells you, you are not alone. There are indeed seraphic guardians with you, a pair of seraphim who work with you day to day; and their helpers the cherubim and sanobim. And the midwayers come and go with exceeding speed doing their work diligently.
As you come into these awarenesses, both through experiential sessions like this, and your own routines of stillness, that fuzzy lens will start to clarify; a means to the end that you will have acquired a new morontial sense which augments your faith. For as you reach up to the spirit world, the spirit world reaches down to assure you that your faith was not all in vain. I would like to open the floor now to an interaction, to your childlike curiosities. To test your faith, to test the bounds of all that you are experiencing in this moment, and I welcome you all, thank you.
Might I also add not to hesitate if you feel my presence with you, for I can come through each and every one of you.
Noelle:
When I felt this presence coming in, this feminine presence come in, as you were speaking, I felt a light-headedness, a dizziness. Is this an indication of the, the only words I can have for it are the "higher vibration"?
Layonta
[Transmitter/Receiver - Jeff]
Indeed this morontial awareness I speak of, this "seat of your soul", will cause much in your physical experience that seems somewhat disorienting or foreign to you; for you have been raised as physical beings to pay most of your attention to the material world. But resident within the human mind, within the biological organism since you have been up stepped with the additions of higher-than-evolutionary genetic material, you are fully capable of experiencing those additional senses. This dizziness you feel is like the fuzziness of that lens I spoke of. Indeed it is difficult for me to clarify something for you which at first will not be so clear of an experience for you.
[Group laughter]
Layonta
[Transmitter/Receiver - Jeff]
Know that it is the beginnings of a broader range of senses, which will only bring a deeper understanding of the beauty of this creation to you.
Do you wish to ask any more specific details on that range of questions?
Noelle: May we call on you individually in our own still time alone?
Layonta
[Transmitter/Receiver - Jeff]
Of course; our nature and function, especially those of us who are of divine origins, is so broad and parallel, that I could indeed speak through each and every one you simultaneously were you to be receiving me in your stillness times. I wish to bring each of you to the knowledge that you may call on or already do possess, a personal teacher apart from me your group teacher. But you may call upon me at any moment for we are here to serve in every capacity which you may be of need.
Gary: Do you work with more than one group such as this?
Layonta
[Transmitter/Receiver - Jeff]
I have followed the forming of this group for what in your terms would be an extremely long amount of time. As each of you grew individually and we could foresee some of the connections that would be made, those of our order chose specific groups to begin the process of forming. This is my first official teaching mission group on Urantia. But I will be working with other groups; and as I prepare for my mission in the materializing phase of this broader correcting time / magisterial dispensation I will be of service to a vast majority of spirit-seeking mortals. But you are my first group in this correcting time on Urantia.
Gary:
You spoke of watching us from the beginning come to this point, does your order see these as possibilities in each individual's life or. I guess what I'm asking is, is it foregone that we were going to end up here, or could there have things taken place that one of us might not have ended up at this particular juncture?
Layonta
[Transmitter/Receiver - Jeff]
Ah, the question pertains to the difference between fate and choice.
[Group laughter]
Gary: Yes, that's the question. [Laughing]
Layonta
[Transmitter/Receiver - Jeff]
In our experience in the circle of eternity on Paradise, we are given permission to view certain records which show those transactions which in the Father's eyes have already happened. For indeed from time to time this is the nature of our mission, we must know what we are getting into, and where our usefulness would be most appropriated.
But on the time-space level, for it is also an experience for us to descend to it, everything becomes new, and everything becomes a choice that is finally left to the mortal to decide. We are guided in our descending on those groups that we may or may not be grouping with, for we study more than just one possible record. The circle of eternity holds records of all that has or ever will happen, but it is the gift to those mortals out in time and space to make the decisions as to whether or not they will fully be a part of that record, as to whether or not they will become an eternalized piece of that puzzle.
Much as you have perused your reference material, The Urantia Book, and other sources of auto-revelation; you will find things that are on the surface so confusing to your time-space mentality. But know that our ultimate purpose and functioning is that those who so will choose to be a part of this puzzle, this ever-expanding, ever-growing, puzzle of eternal perfection will be given all the help that is needed.
But your gift is that any one of you could even choose to get up and leave this room and we could not do a thing about it. For the human free-will is the most prized gift the Creator has given to you, it is untouchable, by even divine hands, for the Creator so wills it. You are guided by spirit, but not forced into any fate or mold. You have an eternal and unique personality; but it is for you to discover that personality and experience it throughout eternity, it is not for others to assume about it, and to claim knowledge of it. Does this help?
Gary: Yes.
Noelle:
I'd like to share that I'm not big on myself over my next question, because I think it's my ego that wants to know, if indeed you came through but we couldn't get your name, the last time we met as a group?
Layonta
[Transmitter/Receiver - Jeff]
There [are] terms that are being coined around the Teaching Mission. One of these is "The 'M' Team". This consists of Michael, The Creator Son; Mother, the Universe Mother Spirit, Nebadonia; Monjoronson, The Magisterial Son; and Machiventa Melchizedek, a being who incarnated as an emergency bestowal son before the time of Christ, and who serves as a great administrator and teacher, and facilitator of all that is happening.
Their presences are so unified and harmonized that they have a direct influence upon every group session, but indeed, I was overseeing each session you have had of yet, and I was adding my conceptual pieces of the puzzle that you are fitting together like children. For do not think of this so formally as though you must get everything right, that it must happen in this specified process. But think of yourselves as children sitting in front of a table with a puzzle to put together. And we will toss you pieces, we may even dump loads of pieces down for you to sort out.
[Group laughter]
But we wish for you to find the joy that you can experience in this process. We wish for you to know that we are not judging on whether or not you fit a piece together in the exact spot it should go, or even if you tear the pieces apart and put them how you want to put them together. It is up to you to decide the purpose of it all. Whether it is for your life, whether it fits with your goals of growth and harmony, or if it is a piece that is not something you care to focus on at this time; for we have all worked on puzzles where, we just can't fit that piece right now, it's out in the space that no other pieces are near.
So do not worry. I am here to make this fun. I am here to bring a joy to the group in the recognition that you are playing together with all these vast spiritual ideas, so that you may fit it into a framework that gives you truth, beauty, and goodness in your every-day life.
Gary:
Speaking for myself, and I've been a reader of Urantia since about 1970 so this is about 35 years, and for years I was always asking the question: what was the, other than my own personal growth, what was the purpose of coming to Urantia?
And I think the question has finally been answered, which had to do with my earlier question about how we got to this point and it wasn't until recently that I began to see the nudges and things that come to your mind to either say or do or read that leads us to here.
I do understand that there's a vast amount of help on the other side that we are just totally oblivious to. Sometimes when things take place you wonder, was this guided? or was it just that now was the time for this to take place?
Layonta
[Transmitter/Receiver - Jeff]
Indeed as you open yourself to receive the spirit guidance that has dwelt within you, since long before you even came to The Urantia Book, this Adjuster, this Mystery Monitor, this spirit of the very Creator; as you open yourself to its guidance it will soon become an inseparable force in your lives. Inseparable from your decision making process for it is such a key to understanding the purpose of those decisions. It is so useful in bringing you into the spiritual life that is a gift to all of you should you so choose it.
The Urantia Book itself, its spiritual truths indeed, will stand on the records of these dispensational ages for many, many years to come. Indeed it will stand on the records as one of those earlier epochal revelations which helped propel your advancing 20th century Christian era into a true spiritual rejuvenation, into the inauguration of the Age of Light and Life on this planet which so desperately needs rehabilitation.
It was dropped off so early before its time so that those of you who've found it would recognize its spiritual truths and recognize its authority to bring a greater purpose to the advancement of civilization; a spiritual purpose to the advancement of all this material outworking. Its knowledge and wisdom will act as a text or reference material to the vast experiential phenomena which this world is already receiving, has been receiving for some time now, and will continue to flower up to unfold into this morontial Earth which already exists, which meshes in with the material Earth.
You will find that there are many out there who are not open to the intellectual prose of The Urantia Book itself. But that is where you humans, in a newer era than when this book was written and provided, will act as bridges, will act as experiential unifiers of those simple truths which are eternal in nature.
Indeed it will be quite a time before The Urantia Book itself is recognized. And many will be shocked that they didn't know about it earlier, but they won't be so shocked at its truths for those will have already worked out in the experiential realm of human civilization on the planet.
We come to show you that the sleeping subject who received the teachings in The Urantia Book, was not a sole worker in this Fifth Epochal Revelation, but was simply a formal beginning. And during a time which the rebellion was not adjudicated, we needed a contact personality with an Adjuster who could work with our permission to not have the conscious human mind play a part in the teachings.
But at this time, everyone is welcome to interact with their closest spiritual friends, without feeling like they are the sole arbiter of some new revelation. It is your experience in your personal life with the integration of these revelations we bring each of you that is your true purpose in working with us. It is the experience of not having to get everything right, but knowing that we are your friends and we are close to you.
And there are so many more of us than just those beings who sponsored the papers in your book; for we wish not to speak to you solely from a literary work, but we wish to speak to you in your own hearts and your own minds, on your own levels of growth and awareness.
Layonta
[Transmitter/Receiver - Noelle]
To return to the question at hand once more, it is not so much a change in perception as it is a growth in perception; the growth in the perception of your personal and collective histories, the growth in the perception of that which you call destiny. The destiny is altered by free will. It is the glowing and intertwining strands of destiny and choice that makes you special; for it is your choices that are celebrated in all. So as you look within your own history of your choices and your growth, celebrate your growth, celebrate yourself, and know that the path has no end, and it is indeed an adventure.
Layonta
[Transmitter/Receiver - Jeff]
I would ask for each of you to share and discuss amongst yourselves, what you are experiencing in this group at this time, and if it is any different to you, if it seems any different to you from your normal every-day physical awareness.
Do you feel a greater presence? Do you feel a closer interaction with your indwelling God-fragments? Are you experiencing somewhat of the light of love that we are giving you?
Please open up and discuss this informally. Share so that others may feel welcome to participate, welcome to share that this is indeed something that may be of benefit to your growth.
Julie:
I'd like to think that I'm a joyful person. I love life; I appreciate the experiences I have. And sometimes I feel like I'm just a butterfly that flits, and I land on each shoulder, and it's a wonderful, free feeling. But then there's another part of me that, at this special time of the year when we give and receive. there is so much need out there, that sometimes. we can't solve it all. And I'm just wondering, you know, that kind of dampens the joy?

Indeed, at times, I sense perhaps you are feeling that a bit of unworthiness approaches when you are receiving something of the love and spirit that we speak of; for you know so many are in need, so many are not receiving this. Perhaps it is that you feel that you don't deserve it if others don't have it.
Julie:
I'm thankful I have it, and it's beautiful and wonderful, but I just don't know the route to help others, for everyone to have it.

We often speak, and especially those who wrote in the Urantia Book, of the capacity of the mortal mind to receive these gifts of the spirit. Indeed there are those who you may see on the material level as being of such need, as being without so much that you have. But know that even the starving, even the homeless, have capacities that could even receive more of the spirit than you think; than those who have much that is of material origin.
But indeed, truth comes in many shapes and sizes, and the experience of divine love takes many avenues before it is unified in a personal experience. Each of you are being guided to sip of the cup of this divine love so that you may recognize it when you are giving it to others. So that you may know that it is good and true. Not so that you may think you are receiving something which others are more deserving of, but so that you may be such a larger vessel of this love to pour out among others; for indeed in your encounters you don't realize your spirit capacity, and the growth of your recognition in the acceptance of this spirit love influences others whether you speak to them or not. Your personal growth has an affect on others for we are all interconnected in this universe.
Strive for that which achieves a harmony in your life, thinking not of it being a selfish purpose, but thinking of it being something which helps everyone; something which brings you into being a better representative of that love to others.
Was this helpful, Julie?
Julie: Yes, yes thank you.
Noelle:
I don't know if this is coming from me or through me, but in answer to the question of feeling what we're feeling during this time, I get this feeling that I want to giggle, and then I know something genuine is going on because it just wants to bubble up and out of me. And that made me think of children again, and children don't doubt, children don't worry about how to fix things. They just live and share who they are, until they learn not to.
Gary: They haven't started to question the plan.God's plan.

Indeed, they play in the mud and worry not that there may be bacterial diseases in the mud.
[Group laughter]
Jeff: [Laughing] I don't know where that came from.
[Note from Jeff: That was rather rhetorical as I presume it came from Layonta.]
Noelle: It's not part of their reality.

Think of your spiritual path, as something that is about you, that is about your growth as a being in this universe. You are maturing as a being, yet carrying this inner child with you all the way. For this "Correcting Time" is not about, necessarily, there being so many mortal leaders going out and changing peoples' hearts, but it is about the spirit within becoming a direct influence on everyone's personal growth. And then the connections will start to be made.
As you focus on your spiritual growth, on the advancement of your morals and ethics, you will find that it is only natural that you will be led to give this gift to others, that you will be led to find those who are seeking. And you will be able to give it for you will know what it is that you are giving. And you will know the way in which to give it, not to proselytize the teachings of some one book, but to offer those personal expressions of the love of which we speak, which are universal.
Any human on this Earth from any distant region, could find another and could hug them, could show love between them, could laugh together and smile. It is not required to have a pre-requisite of knowledge to offer another comfort and joy and happiness. What is somewhat required is that you have found this happiness and this love within yourself first. For two humans, as you very well know, may meet each other from different regions in the world, and neither of them may have found this love within themselves, and they will not get along in such a fanciful, cliché sort of way.
There is some anxiousness between the silent moments in this session, and this is only natural for you are accustomed to a continuous flow of any certain form of an experience. You are, if you are hearing words you are accustomed to the flow to keep going. But indeed, the reason we shy away from always giving you words, is because we wish you to know that the spirit influences you are being open to are continuously circulating throughout the group, your energies are continuously harmonizing. Please cherish each silent moment as a new dip into the stillness that is the bridge to your morontial awareness, and the love of which you are a cup to receive.
Drink deeply. Breathe in the air and soak up the Spirit that is a gift that is always present. You only need open to receive it, consciously and experientially, to know it is yours.
[A few minutes of silence.]
Noelle:
I am sensing that the boundaries of our physical limitations have been pushed; to increase our awareness.
Layonta
[Transmitter/Receiver - Jeff]
Indeed, as material beings, you are not accustomed to such a dip into the deep end of the spirit pool. And you do need a life preserver once in a while to bring you up out of that deep end.
Jean: I need that life preserver. It makes me want to cry, and I think. [inaudible/whispered]
Layonta
[Transmitter/Receiver - Jeff]
I will close the group, first allowing you to settle back into your bodies, settle back into the physical world. Breathe in the real air that you breathe every day. Thank you for joining together today, thank you for coming, those who've traveled far. Know that I am with you always and you may call upon me at any moment. Until we speak together again.
Noelle: All is as it shall be. Tissue Jean?
Jean: No, I got one somewhere.
[Personal discussion followed, Jean had a strong reaction/experience when Layonta asked "how does this feel?" in regards to the experiential aspects of the group session.]
