Machiventa – Visions of Harmony

*            My friends, I am Machiventa.  I choose to speak with all of you tonight because it has been a little while since I have spoken to you as a group.  As we witness the various efforts being undertaken on your world, it can sometimes seem to you that what you are doing and choosing to be about may pale in comparison to the “grand events,” the political choices, and the lives of the famous who gather many followers enraptured with their actions on a daily basis, sometimes of value and sometimes not. 

 

But I would like to contrast these two views, the one where you are witnessing fantastical happenings, conflicts, lifestyles of the famous and fortunate, with the daily practice of focusing within and from that perspective, of making choices about what you can do and accomplish, for the true grassroots evolution of spiritual awareness is occurring outside of the limelight in the choices everyday people make to be present and real, sincerely, with conviction,to do good as it becomes known in your awareness in relationship to that inner spirit within you.  I dare say that your greatest moments of awareness come when you are least focused on what is happening everywhere else, and are simply being about your purpose each day. 

 

It can be inspiring to view what is happening from afar as someone else shares some beauty that they contain, but the real progress comes as souls, such as you, choose to be in the present and to be aware of what is possible each moment and each day as you practice implementing those values that you have taken from the theoretical and moved toward the practical application. 

 

There is a ground swell occurring, and you are a part of that.  Trust that who you are and what you have to say is important and is a part of the process that will bring about meaningful change.  If there comes a time that your impact can be larger and you step up to the plate, so to speak, and become more visible to others, let it be because you are manifesting your inner reality such that it is inescapable not to witness, rather than the disjointed stabs of lost souls seeking attention, but not having the grounding to know where the true power comes from. 

 

We are not merely seeking momentary flashes of light, but the continuous currents that run in circuits building in such a way that the illumination is unmistakable and not simply a flash, but a more consistent visible presence building on the energy that has been applied by a multitude of people like yourselves, participating in the plans put forth by our Creator. 

 

I hope these words provide some thought for you, my friends.  I am present for questions if you have any.

 

Q1: Of course I do, if I may be first.  Thank you for telling us that.  When you go out and look around at the different groups and what they’re talking about, they’re saying there’s going to be something coming and it’s going to be amazing  and it’s going to be the influx of energy and everyone is going to feel it and it’s going to be unmistakably God.  I just love that, because that’s what you’re saying and it’s definitely becoming a reality in life.  We have to prove love is real and energy is real and it has to be manifested somehow where it’s visible and apparent.  Tell us more please.

 

*            Machiventa: Thank you for your thoughts.  Yes, you are not alone in your efforts.  Many Urantia mortals seek similarly even if their paradigm is different, but this does not mean the underlying truth of the building of the circuits and the energy flowing cannot be witnessed and spoken of in different channels.  Our challenge is to keep it sane, so to speak, so that you focus less on the thrill of “amazing” and more on the actual efforts that become amazing.  There is a tendency to focus on the “wow” factor in spiritual growth and not always to stay focused on the process.  Therefore, take note that there are other groups speaking similarly about the possibilities for the future, but remain steadfast in your focus on your connection each day and what you can do within that, so that the momentum keeps building rather than plateauing in the feeling of it all.

 

Q1: Okay, thank you.  I see what you’re saying.  My brother started reading the Urantia book again and said that Michael has been here in this universe, world and system since the first explosions happened in the creation of his worlds.  The thought that he has been waiting here for what seems like forever gives me a real sense of the patience required to have things unfold and it takes me back to the patience of it that he had.  Another mentioned it was too bad the apostles ran out from the cross and were overcome with the emotion due to the fact that he had risen from the dead and missed the true message.  So thanks for telling us that.

 

*            Machiventa: Thank you.  Michael’s perspective is long and far flung, yes.  Even though he down stepped to experience the various levels, including the Urantia experience, his patience and long range view is unsurpassed and something we, even at our existence, strive to understand and emulate.  Are there other questions?

 

Q2: Yes.  This morning in my quiet time I had a comprehensive and far flung, for me, vision, that has something to do with that aspiring to do good.  I wrote a little something I wanted to share and see if you could read between the lines.  This is a gift from my friends beyond.  It was a vision about a living vibrant movement dedicated to the establishment of good, which persists in an environment in which evil is allowed to flourish.  I saw before me a spectacular, well organized and untarnished array of figures of every size stretching to the horizon in great fields of worlds, forces upon forces into the outer rings on consciousness, all animated in a single effort in its purpose.  There was no hierarchy evident yet all were charismatic, devoted in cause, choreographed and functional in every sense, harmonic in every way and mercy was pouring through the panorama effortlessly, so many and so much being repurposed and readjusted, causing a revisioning within me of the meaning of salvation. 

 

To see so many and so much devoted to this cause was inspiration at its finest to me and I realized by facing this vision I was turning my back on this world or worlds where evil dwells and I was heartbroken and I identified with Lot and the turning to salt thing.  When it occurred to me that turning to the family – I saw this group as family and also the Urantia book and the caveman – turning to the family gives me ample reason to face the tiger, the family being the forces at play in the vision and the tiger being this world where all manner of violence is visited one to another. 

 

That’s what I wrote down and along with this, a vision of the well choreographed group which seemed to have no actual leader, but there were all led in purpose.  Somehow that had to be, but I don’t know how.  Along with that I got a small vision of me writing something down from ink in an inkwell which suggested to me that I needed to write that down before the vision blurred.  It seems very indelible as a memory.  What you said about impact – it had quite an impact on me to see this huge movement in motion.  I can’t say it any better, but any thoughts are welcome.

 

*            Machiventa: Thank you for expressing your inspirations.  The act of writing them down provides an imprinting that makes it more difficult to forget and while I would not comment specifically about what your inspirations mean for you, as this is an exploration for you to work through, I would talk about harmony.  When beings find themselves in harmony with their Creator, a sort of broadening occurs, making the amplification factor far greater than the simple number of people sharing in the experience.  This harmonizing process can occur even on a world such as Urantia, even in the midst of chaos and evil.  When people purpose to be about the Father’s business, a movement grows out of that as they truly seek the higher will, and although you might not always see how it is being led, it is inspiring to recognize that the spiritual hierarchies can often seem organic to the process such that you are not even aware of how you are being led even when you know it’s there.  God, angels, morontia beings, and many other forces are all around you right now, even here on Urantia, and yet so many take for granted that the world just works and that all these energies seemingly originated out of thin air to hold people in place, to keep space between matter, and to provide continuous back and forth amplification, a call and response to the needs of the very individual, not simply the masses, but each individual.  The real profound hierarchies need not claim it.  They just are.  I hope these words help you in response to your musings and inspirations my friend.

 

Q2: “They just are” as in “I am that I am”… Wow!

 

*            Machivents: Yes.

 

Q2: “Call and response”… that was a beautiful response.  Thank you.

 

*            Machiventa: Thank you for putting your vision out there.

 

Q2: You said step up to the plate so I thought I’d do that.

 

*            Machiventa: Yes.  Are there other questions my friends?

 

Q3: Yes.  I was contemplating other spiritual communities and interfaith activities and things, and a lot of people I know and who are members of these faiths are deeply devoted and loving service oriented people in their own right.  It occurred to me that there’s been so much great love at these gatherings of different faith communities and the world parliament of religions.  I’m curious whether people of other faiths are experiencing the same kind of communications at different levels that we have been?  How can we help our friends with the upliftment of the planet by getting more collaboration going among people of different faiths?

 

*            Machiventa: Yes.  The simple answer is yes, they are all, to some degree, receiving similar insight, based upon their ability to perceive, factored with their preconceived notions.  Recognize that our mission, while seeming to be a collective mission, is truly an individual mission, which means to inspire people at the individual level to manifest, which then compounds and builds collective responses as inspired people connect with other inspired people to share their inspirations together, which forms religious groups.  But I would caution, perhaps, against focusing on collecting the collectives, which could be a noble endeavor to some degree, but often, as you have witnessed throughout history, collectives do not always look favorably upon the individual’s relationship to God, and start to build a sort of litmus test for how one can be a part of or not a part of a particular program, experience or movement. 

 

Urantia emerges from isolation, quarantine and begins the arduous path toward light and life largely to the degree that individuals are inspired to seek within, to know that they have this relationship with God and then begin to manifest based upon that core awareness.  It is inevitable that groups will arise, even as you here collect together, inspired by us, by your inner leadings, and by each other to be in cooperation.  There is a purity in newly emerging groups when the focus is on experiencing the experience rather than on who fits the mold. 

 

If I were to provide direction, which we often counsel our students who teach you, not to directly do, we would encourage the unity of spirit focus and the emphasis on each person’s part in the plan, which is unfolding by their efforts to achieve inner awareness - unity, but not necessarily uniformity.  And yet it takes wise leadership to maintain this focus and not to begin to pick and choose based on peripheral factors who is worthy and not to participate.  These are the paradoxes you must grapple with as you work toward that vision that was shared, to know that the hierarchy is there but be willing to trust that it can inspire you each as to how you can cooperate with each other and manifest at your highest potential.

 

Q4: I am seeing that we can all harmonize, all that aspire towards truth, beauty and goodness on the spiritual level in our focus, and in doing so would not be subject to the whims of the personalities involved and at the same time emulate the harmony you spoke of in the hierarchy by just being.  And I’m seeing a need for clarifying the quality or quantity of faith that is necessary for us to actually function on that level and receive validation in our spiritual experiences with others in this way.  For instance, when I saw every being harmonizing, as you suggested, palpable harmonizing, functional harmonizing, I believe it was actually happening.  It’s always happening.  I saw this in a spiritual setting.  Could it not be that we could, here on our quasi-physical level, also imbibe in the delights of spiritual harmony with others in order to satisfy the gregariousness of our species, of our basic survival instincts.

 

*            Machiventa: Spiritual harmony is inescapable when you agree with the basic principles.  This is why we have alluded to building your foundations so that they could not be blown about by the wind.  Understanding the core sense of purpose, as you mentioned, the pursuit of truth, beauty and goodness, the family of God unites under these principles whether it is consciously recognized or not.  Harmony rises within and among the beings who choose to be motivated by truth, beauty and goodness, who recognize there is an energy and personality greater than themselves.  To know that creation is part of the Creator brings about an awareness of belonging that goes beyond words.  The recognition that aspiring to be true, honest and kind, going about doing good as best as you can perceive it, brings about an undeniable resonance to that Creator and all the created who recognize similarly.  Harmony is that state of willingness with God and anyone at whatever level who glimpses this becomes part of the vision, part of the flow, part of the experience, even if not perfected yet.  Are there any other questions?

 

Q5: Just a response, to throw some color on there.  What you’re describing is like one of my mota’s I wrote.  “God can make of even a sour note, a song.”  Because if it’s a sour note, it just belongs somewhere else in a different key.  Anyone out of harmony can be made into harmony by the surrounding people around them changing their tune.  It’s kind of like what you were saying, the will that people have is what makes the harmony because it changes the vibration.  Whether in music or in color - if you drop two colors together randomly on a piece of paper, you can always make the steps of harmonies toward those colors.  The same with two notes, you can always build a harmony between two notes.

 

Q6: I just wanted to comment that when I heard the angels sing that it was as if they were singing every single note and then some, which all harmonized.  It’s hard to imagine, but that’s what it was like.

 

*            Machiventa: I will leave this here, for you have helped to amplify and summarize the message tonight.  Thank you for your willingness to share your inspirations and questions.
