January 13, 2012
Prayer: Heavenly Father, we once
again gather in your loving presence,
grateful for this opportunity to meld our consciousness with spirit so that
we can co-create a better future for Urantia. We bask in your
light, ever
thankful for
all that you have made possible, our meaningful lives and
spiritual growth. Amen.
MMc: Good morning, Monjoronson. How are
you this morning?
MONJORONSON: Good morning. Oh, it is a fine day in Paradise! The
sun always
shines and
emanates around all of Havona, so that we live in the perennial
light of God. It is an experience that you will awaken to early in your
morontial lives, as you bask in God’s
light and love, of the Creator Son
who
creates the worlds on which you live.
MMc: Do you have anything that you would like to dialog about
today, before
we start
with some questions?
MONJORONSON: This one is a bit lethargic, so let us proceed with
your
questions, please.
Lessons to be learned from disappointments
MMc: Okay. We have
recently published all of the questions and answers that
had been withheld, but I don’t feel that everything is completely settled
yet. Is there something to be learned from the fact that even
though there
were reports
that you would incarnate before Christmas you did not arrive?
MONJORONSON: Yes, there are numerous
lessons involved in that failure.
First
is that readers must believe in what I say. I said many months and
years ago that my arrival would not be according to a schedule, or set by
time. It would not be predictable by any
mortals when that would occur, and
that
it would not be revealed by myself or my team and associates, until I
had arrived incarnate on your world. One of the lessons from that is that
the word of a Divine Being is sure, it
is steadfast, it is not wavering.
Once
it is stated, you can predicate your decisions upon that. The second
lesson is that the readers were undiscerning of that truth, and that there
was some misstep in their thinking, which
caused them to arrive at that
conclusion.
The third part is that Divine Beings are unwavering, but true,
steadfast, predictable and that their word can be counted on. You do not
live in a fickle universe, managed by
a fickle God, or that the companions
of God in Paradise are fickle either. Truths of the Creator Sons are as
unwavering as that of those from Havona and Paradise.
Circumstances do change on material worlds, in the material dimensions, due
to decisions that are made by those beings, which affect the
developmental
plans for
those worlds. This causes delays in the arrival of Avonal Sons,
for instance. It also prepares the way for their earlier arrival, when
mortals prepare their own consciousness
and the consciousness of their
world
for the arrival of a Divine Being. Humans, mortals, have tremendous
control in participating in the development of those plans. That is why
when one wills to do God’s Will,
and lives their lives in alignment with
God’s Will, then they are preparing the way for the earliest developmental
plan that is available. Your world is fraught with many difficulties;
large
sections of your
population hold a vile consciousness, which is contrary to
the Divine Order of the Father’s outworking on your world. This creates an
eminent delay.
My
arrival is not predicated upon the right and perfect thinking of a small
group of people, but in preparation for your entire world. The work of some
of your people to uplift the global consciousness
of your world, to
participate
in the conscious evolution of this world is primary to my
arrival. It is increasingly important that numbers of population of earth
begin to participate in this conscious evolution. Again, we
all shouted a
“Hooray!”
that mortals had begun to participate intentionally in the
conscious evolution of their world.
Do you believe
that there are any other aspects that were not covered by
myself in my statement?
MMc: Well, it’s difficult as a human,
reading the transcripts and dealing
with our day-to-day [life], we are asked to be both discerning and
open-minded. The difficulty comes in trying to balance these two-paired
opposites. Would you speak a little about
that?
MONJORONSON: That is a good question, and the answer is quite simple: When
one is discerning, one looks to the history
of those facts that were
presented.
When one is open-minded, one looks to the future. Applying the
discerning mind to open-minded events means that you will allow them to
come into your world and to withhold judgment
or opinionation until after
they
have occurred. Then you will reflect upon them and discern, weigh,
sort and sift what matches that discerned history, and what does not. When
one is discerning about past events, you
are able to, with the Spirit of
Truth,
the Christ presence in you, you are able to discern those things
which are real and authentic, and will perpetuate themselves into the
future. This is the foundation of truth
upon which you would rest the new
developments
that come into your world, and discern them based on the
truths that you are aware of. It is also exceptionally importantperhaps
even primaryto the whole process that you are discerning
of your own
thinking,
that you begin to discern those passions, those wishes of yours
that a certain event or development would come into being. What did Jesus
say about that? You must throw down your
most cherished wishes to allow the
truth
to come forwardto paraphrase him.
How do the individuals in the borderland live?
MMc:
Thank you. I am still troubled by the thought of individuals living in
the borderland.
MONJORONSON: As are we.
MMc: How do these individuals live?
MONJORONSON: They maintain their
living through their consciousness. The
consciousness that exists in you as material, living mortals, exists in
those who have passed, but who are not accepting of an afterlife
that is
positive and in
the light of God. Consciousness is far more existent than
most mortals realize. We have touched on the reality of consciousness as a
non-material, non-dimensional, non-temporal existence, and
that it does not
fade
from the larger reality upon the death of the individual. This
consciousness can be dormant, as in the sleeping survivors; it can pass on
to the morontial in the reconstruction
of individuals. It is existent,
[but]
undecipherable to mortals. Consciousness is subject to your will.
When individuals,
who do not believe and who have not willed themselves to
pass into the morontial realm by doing God’s Will in the material realm
they subject themselves to a suspended consciousness in what
you call the
borderland.
It is important, [and] Jesus was most emphatic about choosing,
educating his followers to do the Father’s Will, to consciously “will”
to
do God’s Will
in their lives, and that to will themselves to follow that
guidance that he provided in order for them to occupy the mansions, which
he alluded to. What is also primary to
the passing into the morontial realm
upon your death is the conscious awareness of your existence.
Many, if not
most, of the beings in the borderland have never been
conscious of their existence; they have never been reflective of their
living in the world, to reflect upon their actions and decisionsor
have
done so, but made
no decisions about that. The ones in the borderland are
curious exceptions in the mortal existence and in the mansion world
existence. They are in need of education, even awareness of
their existence
and the
choices that they have in that existence, to move on. When one is
aware, there is no going back to ignorance. When you, my friends, make
these individuals in the borderland aware
of their existence, and aware of
their
capacity to make a decision to move on, they are subtly informed that
[at] that moment, they can make a decision to change their whereabouts, and
move from the borderland into the morontial
realm.
MMc: So consciousness is what enables them to “live” but the fact that
they
are not completely
aware, traps them before they can get to the next phase
in their existence?
MONJORONSON: Yes, this says so much about your life as an
incarnate being,
with
consciousness and awareness. It says so much about what you can do to
affect your afterlife, here in this mortal, material realm. This is one of
the most important facets of material
existence - to become aware of your
existence and the choices that you have in this world. Very few people
choose the way of evil when they become aware that God is benevolent
and
has provided an afterlife,
which is beneficial, helpful, joyful and filled
with light always.
Many on Urantia are unsure of afterlife
MMc:
It seems that there is on Urantia a paucity of people that understand
that there is an afterlife. Most people are unsure. This is one of the
reasons that they hang on so desperately
to living through those last two
weeks
of life, living on medical care, to try to sustain that life. They
are afraid that the end of this life is the end. Would you like to speak to
that?
MONJORONSON:
That is unfortunate. It is part of the legacy of the
Luciferian debacle, that there was ingrained in the consciousness of
humanity that the afterlife was non-existent, that this is
all there is,
and that
you should live your life for yourself and consider nothing else.
It is perhaps one of the most evil depositions instilled in the human
genetic code, and in the consciousness
of mortals in time. It was easy to
believe
and easy to be accepted, and so it was ingrained quickly into the
genetic, hereditary code of mortals at that time, which now still persists.
It is an unfortunate development. That
is why we are going to such great
lengths
to tell you about the borderland existence and the importance of
your awareness and capacity to make decisions effectively about your
current life, which have a legacy for
you in the afterlife, in the mansion
worlds.
The ultimaton particle
MMc: In your
recent discussion about consciousness, you said, ”As your
scientists are able to isolate their work with this particle, they will
realize that it is totally susceptible
to consciousness.” Were you
referring
to the Higgs particle or the ultimaton?
MONJORONSON: I was referring to the ultimaton. It’s
been called the - the
ultimaton
and the adamantine particleit is the particle which can have
mass or not have mass, dependant upon the signature given to it by the
Architects of the universe and by the
Will of God. It is influenced, of
course,
by the consciousness of God to out - form the physical
manifestation of the universe at all levels and all dimensions. It is used
in the other dimensional realities, which The Urantia Book
describes. It is
primary
to all that exists in the world. You, quite literally, live in the
“soup” of God, the consciousness of God that is manifest in these particles
all around you. Your material universe,
the finiteI would say the material
universe, rather than the finite universe, as there are huge swaths of the
finite universe, which are not material yetthat you live
in the
consciousness of
God, it is manifest in the materiality of your body, and
the air that you breathe, and even in the vacuous, emptiness of what you
call “space,” which is not empty, but thoroughly
filled with the presence
of
God.
They will, in years to come, as your scientists become much more thoroughly
acquainted and knowledgeable about this
particle, they will be in awed
wonderment
about what they are working with and what they are becoming
aware of. It will be at that time, following decades, even centuries ahead,
that the fullness of these immature thoughts
of your scientists will begin
to
develop into a complete awareness and appreciation of the material and
non-material, the spiritual and the material universe. There will not be
the ignorance about the complete existence,
the reality of the universe,
but
an awareness and appreciation for how it was so infinitely, Divinely,
brought into existence and the pattern and order of it, that affects all of
the universe that you see and do not see.
The Arab Spring and Occupy Wall Street movements
MMc: Wow!
The Arab Spring, Occupy Wall Street and similar movements, at face value,
would seem to be very dissimilar, but at the core, I think
all of these
movements
represent peoples’ dissatisfaction with what they see as the
denial of one or more of the three core values we have been discussing.
Would you like to comment on this?
MONJORONSON: Yes. It is very much like the blind man examining the
elephant, that one sees the tail and describes it as thus
and so, and one
describes
a leg, and one describes the trunk, as so on. What you are
observing is the human behavior in social structures, which express
themselves only to the limit that they are able, within those
social
structures. If
you live in a dictatorship, you would be in tremendous awe
to be given the rights that Americans and Europeans enjoy, the democratic
rights and privileges that those citizens
enjoy in their countries. Yet,
within
those maturing democracies, there is dissatisfaction by citizens
with the capacity to be self-determining of their lives, that they are not
granted sufficient rights and privileges
in their democratic countries to
fulfill
their needs as they see themnot speaking about desires, but needs.
The hierarchy
of needs is from the very lowest of simple survivalwhich
means taking your next breath, having enough food to eat and to keep you
for a few daysto be secure enough
that you can live more easily and exist.
There is survival existence of maintenance and sustainability. When one
individual, or a whole society, has satisfied their needs,
they begin
yearning for
more, and more, and more, until they are completely in total
self-determination of their environment, the environment that affects them,
what some call the “affective environment.”
That is why many people in the
United
States, a highly developed, prosperous democracy, yearn to have
millions of dollars. They feel that this will provide them with the
capacity of self-determination, that they can use this money
to open
opportunities
to satisfy old needswhether they are houses or cars, or
corporations or bank accounts, or whatever that may beyet, most of you
know, that money is only a tool, that
it is a means to an end, rather than
an end in itself.
You here, in the United States, look to the people who are
participating in
the uprisings
and demonstrations of the Arab Spring and pity them that they
do not have the rights that you are dissatisfied with. You, in your own
lives, wish to have more, to participate
more, and more effectively in your
governmental
processes that affect you intimately in your life. And as you
look to your life in the future, you feel as though your nation is out of
control, in that those who are in control
are unaware of the domination
that
they are having over your personal life, so it is all relative. Your
social existence is evolutionary, as well as developmental. Your societies
must evolve in order to begin to satisfy
the burgeoning needs that come to
the
surface in your life. Those of you in developed and maturing
democracies are feeling this need for greater control in your life. You
must interpret this need for control in
words that make more sense to your
democratic
process. Do you understand what I am saying?
MMc: And what would that sound like, if
we were to interpret our wish for
control
in ways that made more sense to our democratic process?
MONJORONSON: That you would have
more participation in how those decisions
are made, which affect your life.
Celestial participation in our social
evolution
MMc: Very good. I believe that you said that youthe larger “you”
were
working on
changing the culture so that people mattered more. Am I correct
in believing that there is some output from on High in changing the way
that we think?
MONJORONSON:
Yes, most definitely. As part of moving your world into the
days of light and life, there are two essential venues that we work [in]:
One is in the minds of individuals, and
the other is in the social
consciousness
of your societies, how your social structures are put
together and the ethos of those social organizations. As you know, we are
very busy and involved in uplifting the minds of individuals
and through
many means
we’ve spoken of that. What we are doing now is to begin
influence upon the social organizationsand by “social” I also mean
political and economic and corporate,
and so onwherever human activities
are centered, to give a greater appreciation for people, for individuals,
to value them, to increase their value. It is important that
the value of
people and
individuals begin to be incorporated into the ethos and policies
of organizations.
We could not do this, of course,
if it were not developmentally timely to
do so. That is why I spoke just recently, a moment ago, about the
development in western and maturing democracies for a need by individuals
to have more control in their life. When
you give individuals value, how do
you
do that? You do that by improving the quality of their participation in
the events and decision-making processes and policy decisions that control
and dominate your societies. The activities
of the Occupy Wall Street and
the
other occupy activities are directly related to this. These are
individuals who, while enjoying the privileges and benefits and rights of a
matured democracy, yearn for greater opportunity
to express their
potential.
They understand their value, as a person, and they want to
express that and develop that in their society. If you are a very
intelligent, cultured, educated individual, and you are out
of work, your
wish is
to place yourself in an employment situation, or accept or create
an opportunity in which you can begin to live more fully and wholly, to
express the potential that is within you.
Your nation, as other democracies, is bursting at the seams with incredibly
intelligent, educated, cultured individuals who have no means
of even
partial expression
of their potential, and many of them have no hope of
ever doing so. Frustrations of this population are very much like the
frustrations of the French Revolutionaries, during the French
Revolution.
They were
hungry for bread; they wanted and needed to be sustained, just as
you, an educated, cultured and intelligent individual. The bread of life
for them is to experience the expression
of themselves in society. You take
food
for granted; you take your democratic rights and privileges for
granted. Now what? There is no answer to the “Now what?” in your society
at
this time. It is very
important that in our process, that in our planning
and development, of moving your societies into the next evolutionary step,
that this be done peacefully.
There
quite literally is no room any longer for violent revolution, but
silent and powerful evolution, conscious evolution of your social
processes. This is where the Most Highs
are highly active. In many ways,
your
corporate structures, your corporate environment is far, far, far
ahead of the almost primitive democratic processes of your government. This
is not to isolate the process of government
from the populace of your
nation
at all, for you are “one,” one is not separated from the other,
but your culture has moved ahead of the democratic process upon
which this
country was
established, in ways which far exceed the government’s capacity
to satisfy. There is a need for a violent evolution to go on, even a vocal
evolution to go on, a deliberate and intentional
evolution to go on, but
not
a revolution. In planetary management, when a planet develops to this
state of existence, where it is fully inhabited and there is a global
communication network, and the education
and literacy level of populations
is
fairly high, there is a tremendous need for side-stepping revolution,
which would move your populace backwards into greater military or tribunal
control. This is not a tolerable situation
for us, as we have invoked the
planning
process that is moving your whole world population into its
evolutionary stages, one culture at a time.
We hope you
realize that your democratic nations are a democratic culture
that we are working with. We have little overt capacity to amend those
nations where there is tyranny, where
there are dictatorships, military
tribunals,
martial law and autocratic control. We work with individuals in
those situations, to lay the seeds for sprouting, for a “new spring,” such
as what you see in the Arab Spring. These
are all timely developmentally
and
we act instrumentally in urging and pushing the next evolutionary step
into existence. When you think of social evolution, think in terms of
paradigm shifts, not just developmental
growth in your world, in your
nations,
but innovative, evolutionary changes that appear to traditional
people to be quite radical, but which are a natural development of the old
paradigm and its necessity to be birthed,
to be brought forward by God
conscious
individuals. So I hope you are beginning to see that the
development of a global consciousness that is God-centered and of the light
helps bring about the social evolution of your world, of your
nations and
cultures and
societies. When you see these developments, such as Occupy
Wall Street, and the Arab Spring, you are beginning to see the necessity of
the birthing of the next paradigm, and
these will be made known to you
easily
within the next five years, if not much, much sooner.
MMc: As I’m looking at the
Arab Spring and the Occupy Wall Street
movements, I can see that this theme of valuing individuals coming out and
being expressed in both of those areas, certainly they must
be expressed in
much different
ways, because in the Arab Spring, obviously, that we are
dealing with a situation where the people there do not have the benefits of
democracy that we have here in this country. I can see what
you mean by
revolution
in our country, by revolution setting us back, it would not be a
good idea for us to have revolution. We need to move to the next level, and
that next level is? As you say, corporations,
businesses move much more
rapidly
than our government. In businesses, they look at their employees
at least at their valued employees as valuable assets. In government, not
so much. So, it seems to be where we need
to move to, to the value of the
individual.
Can you help me here in making that next step in my thinking?
What comes next developmentally?
The question I had is basically, what comes next? What, developmentally
comes next in at least the United States? We need to expand
the
individual’s
ability to be fulfilled, to grow, within government, the
person’s ability to participate in government? Is that going to be the next
developmental step that America needs to take?
MONJORONSON:
As I listen carefully to your words, you perhaps, when you
talk about participating more directly in their government, you are talking
about a direct democracy, and there will
almost never be a functional
direct
democracy that comes into existence until the days of light and
life, many centuries ahead. What our desires are is to improve those areas,
those three fundamental values of sustainability,
in the lives of every
individual
person, and that is to improve the quality of their life, the
quality of their living. This surely does not necessarily mean more money
in the bank, or bigger houses, or fancier
cars. Secondly, there must
develop
an increase in the equality of life among all people. This does not
require that everyone be given a house with 2,000 square feet, and that
they have two cars in the garage, and
so on. Equality in sustainable terms
means that everyone has equal access to the opportunities and resources to
improve the quality of life and living. These two things together
provide
for growth and
development, the unfoldment of potential that lies within
each individual to the extent of their capability.
A person who
is treated inequitably, who has an IQ of 85, because they have
an IQ of 85, does not mean that they want to stay in the limitations of
their life, but they want to express the
capacity to grow into larger
dimensions
of existence. The same can be said of a person with 185 IQ; they
have the same needs, and that is to grow into the potential that they wish
to express, and in order to do that, society
must offer them opportunities
for
involvement and development of that level. This only explores the
dimensions of intelligence; it does not explore the development of a
well-balanced and developed emotionality
of an individual, which is
necessary
for a sustainable social existence that allows an individual to
grow into their social potential. I offer that second area for the
comparison between these two.
The
emphasis in all our work is to improve the quality of life and living
for individuals, as we know from millions of years of experience of
managing planets and moving them towards
the days of light and life, that
as
people’s lives increase in quality, that they begin to explore the
quality of their own being, and become curious about the quality of their
relationship with the infinite and the
Divine. It is all just as Jesus
expressed
in his life on earth, to improve the quality of a relationship
between the individual and God. That is why he made that huge paradigm of
spiritual belief that God is no longer
outside of you, as was taught in the
Hebrew religion, but that God is within you. The dimensions [of] that in
thought and action are huge, and the possibilities that people
begin to
include that
within their thoughts and their lives, helps them to approach
the Divine in their ascendant career. Therefore, our work that we do with
you is to assist you to improve your way
of life, the quality of your life
in
all dimensions, all realms, all parameters.
The compromise on your world is that your
world is over-burdened by a huge
population,
which is out of proportion to the capacity of your planet to
give everyone an equal quality of life. Therefore, some of you have many
resources and many do not. Those who do
not have many resources are not
able
to grow; they do not have equal access to opportunities, and life is
quite miserable for them. Were your world population to be halved to 3.5
billion, you would then be at the maximum
this planet is capable of
offering
a reasonable life to, with potential and growth equal to those of
other people. I do not want to get into specific developments that we are
involved in these will be revealed
to you in time, during your lifetime,
and particularly in the next few yearsand in a few years, I mean from this
year, to the next 20 years or so. You will live long enough
to see your
world and
the social evolution of your world, engage this next paradigm in
a very powerful way. Social change in your world is moving so rapidly that
it cannot help but engage this paradigm
change soon and of course, that
is developmental as well. There is no timetable for that. We approximate
its approach within the next 3 to 15 years. It could take
longer; it could
begin
earlier. It is completely developmental and the plans of God cannot
be rushed in eternity.
The Declaration of
Independence as it applies to core values
MMc: You mentioned a paradigm shift. Our Declaration of Independence
comes
close, perhaps as
close as an 18th century public document could to the
three core values we have been speaking of, when it says that, “all Men are
created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with
certain
unalienable Rights
that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of
Happiness.” This document is one of the biggest reasons that we, in the
United States, are the longest-lived democracy in the history
of the world.
Am I correct
in my thinking about this?
MONJORONSON: Yes, this is correct. This document was written
with Divine
intervention,
with Divine participation. It does not necessarily make the
United States a “special country.” It does not set it apart from the
vagaries and vicissitudes of life and
decimation and termination of other
countries. It is as equally susceptible as any other nation if it does not
move itself into the next stages of its evolution. The key
word is “equal,”
as
God sees each of you as equal, equally worthy of being invested with a
fragment of Its existence, which does not compare to any other investment
that can be made in anyone’s life.
God appreciates you and loves you and
cares for you, and [has] provided you with the means by which you can grow
to approximate Its existence, Its very self in Paradise in
the eventuality
of time.
So the key word is “equality.”
Other key words are “life.” You have two of the
words that sustain all
life.
The three core values of sustainability are life and equality; the
other is “growth,” which is provided for in “Liberty and the
Pursuit of
Happiness.”
You cannot be happy if you are not free. You cannot grow if you
do not have liberty and freedom, so incorporated in the meaning of the
third value of sustainability is growth.
To be able to grow, you have to
have
liberty and freedom and pursue that at your own free will. This is
self-determination, which is one of the most fundamental needs of human
existence. So therefore, you have the
three core values, embedded within
the
document that helped found this nation, and help found other
democracies, in one fashion or another, as it is described in the
originating document. It is fundamental to the continuation
of this nation.
However,
the arrogance of this nation as being the longest - lived
democracy and its arrogance is seen in the domination of many world
events is an arrogance which will assist it to become
humble one day. Our
intention,
our purpose to continue the sustainability of this nationas it
provides a working model for other nationsnow is the time for this nation
to begin its birthing into its next paradigm,
but done peacefully and
carefully
and thoughtfully, to one which gives equal value of importance to
its citizens.
What is the paradigm shift we are
looking for?
MMc: Yes, America is not the only country to receive Divine help. But what
is the next stage in our evolution? What’s
the paradigm shift that we are
looking
for?
MONJORONSON: When I speak of a paradigm shift in your society and western
democracies, I am speaking about a societal
as well as a cultural paradigm
shift.
It will affect all aspects of your lives of your social lives
meaning your political lives and your social lives. It is a paradigm shift
from the quantitative valuing of individuals
to the qualitative value of
individuals.
It will affect the morality; a new morality will come into
existence, which will assist each one of you from your largest
organizations down to individuals to make moral decisions
that contribute
to the
sustainability of your society. This will be a paradigm shift of
immense proportions that will affect all levels of your society, and all
levels of individuals. [This] will require
vision and revisions in your
legislation
and in your laws, but that will develop in time, as an
awareness and appreciation is registered with individuals and those in
positions of authority, of the need to accept that this paradigm
is “here,”
it
is not going away, it will not disappear and there is no going back to
the way business was done in the past.
MMc: Thank
you, Monjoronson. I have no further questions for you today. I
wish to thank you for your candidness and your openness in discussing these
things, and thank you for your help.
MONJORONSON: You are most welcome, as we are thankful to those involved in
this process. There are many of you who are reading these
words, or hearing
these
words that will register with you deeply. Know that when you will to
do God’s Will, you may be called upon to outwork this, even in your
society, in ways that may have surprised
you years ago. I wish you a good
day
and that this saga will continue, though now you have the major dots in
