Machiventa Talks.
Subject: “Your Unseen Friends, A Frank Discussion.”

Received by Sandy Montee.

Machiventa: "Good Morning Sandy. I am happy to visit you today. Might I quickly rephrase that? It is my great pleasure to visit you today."

Sandy: "Hello Machiventa. It is a pleasure to have you as a friend, and you are always welcome in my home. I appreciate your approval for Char to be with me. She is a happy Midwayer, and I call on her to help me no matter what I am doing, or what decisions I have to make. I am surprised that whenever I ask her about all sorts of everyday things, she is usually ‘on my side’ and that helps my self-esteem. With her approval I am much surer of myself.

Machiventa: "I am trying to get this very message across. There are many Teachers, Angels, and Midwayers who would like for people to be more aware that they are around them, and always ready to help.

"Without this awareness on your part, we usually have to work in the background. It is vital for you to ‘come out of the old way of thinking’ that we are mere ghosts or some such thing. Haven’t you often wondered just what all the spirits are doing, besides floating around in Heaven, and enjoying perfect bliss?"

Sandy: "I often fall into that category by thinking I am just not good enough to have any special attention. I guess it is like employing a housekeeper, and insisting she stands around to watch me clean house."

Machiventa: "Exactly! I would suggest that you realize what a pleasure it is for us to be included in your lives. And that your trust in us is all the thanks we need."

Sandy: "I really am afraid people would think I was nuts going around talking to my unseen friends, so I have to be discreet. I have the saying that I really don’t want the men in the white coats chasing me around."

Machiventa: "Think of us simply as Jesus’ helpers. God can put before you many more of His worthwhile projects, if He knows you will ask for help along the way. I know you, personally, can get yourself into lots of trouble when your self-will runs riot.

"It truly is a tricky road you place yourself upon when you deny or disregard all the help that is available to you, and you let your freewill, without the superior input from your experienced best friends, decide which way you will go.

"Why should you go through all this ‘lonely decision-making’ when you want to use His words, or do His will at any time you are in a position to advise or help others? You can and do so often influence others in a most positive way when they look to you for a little wisdom from your years of experience with us (Teachers).

"Life on Earth is difficult, but there are no reasons for anyone you meet to travel their journey alone. Be there for them, while we are there for you, for not in the least does my advice apply to you. I will leave this message short today and take my leave. I send my love to all.

"This is Machiventa."

Note: Midwayer Char is actually androgynous, but we seem to have no single word for he/she - Sandy.

Machiventa Melchizedek.
Subjects: “Hard-Rock Mining, Easily Gathered Seekers”

Received by George Barnard.

George: "It’s good to hear your name, Machiventa."

Machiventa: "My dear brother. My dear co-worker in this task we have undertaken in the Master’s name. It’s good to see you are regularly doing your meditation exercises, and it is good for me to once again have a chance to converse with you.

"Your ‘Spirit Guardian friends’ have regularly visited you in the months gone by, and especially Andrea has often been at your side, and has taken her watchcare of you much to heart."

George: "A true friend she is."

Machiventa: "I’m going to once again impress upon you that your reaching out to those who refuse to believe in my investiture as your Planetary Prince on this world, and in this period of the release of the (Urantia) Text, will not be productive of altering anyone’s opinion.

"And even less so will they for now be accepting of the arrival of our Magisterial Son (Monjoronson), and his placing his services at Michael’s disposal together with the many Teachers and Learned Ones that have arrived and are arriving still. Rather will those whose attention you seek, and who are not in the least open to Midwayer promptings or teachings, harden their resolve to denounce any good news other than the printed pages they can touch.

"Your time will be better occupied in conversing with those who are open. The hours that are taken out of your schedule in dealing with your ‘favorite hecklers’, who have barely done little more than to overcome their fears in picking up the Text, is truly an abject waste of time. They are mistaking their religionist outlook on life for it being of true spirituality.

"And, indeed, those among them that are your age, or perhaps older than you are, cannot or will not flex their faith muscles to begin to accept the words we put across. These doubtful prospects make you a hard-rock miner, relentlessly beating on an ore body from which little can be extracted, when so much placer gold can be found, and the golden nuggets are there for you to effortlessly gather by the dozens.

"Right under your eyes and within your reach are the thousands upon thousands that have long had some kind of casual, perhaps even a formal and open contact with your Midway Warrior Friends, and that, necessarily, is where in potential your most rewarding interests must lie.

"Each and every one of these easily-gathered seekers your group can bring under Michael’s wing, is a soul enriched by its steady pattern of future growth, while bearing in mind the sensitivity of the avant garde receiver-transmitter - it can do her or him no good to be slighted by those who will only return their comments with the standard answers of veiled and overt scorn that nothing foreseeable will change.

"It is with your fullest focus on being spirit led that you will find yourself working as efficiently as you humanly can, without growing tired, without becoming stressed, without feeling disappointment, but instead charting an ever-rising graph of the numbers who will be attracted by the group’s endeavors, and who will in turn find better goals in their lives.

"This is Machiventa. I send my love to all, and wish you G’day."

[1] Hi Bro, This message from Machiventa rings a bell, loud and clear, and not just for you - J.

[2] This was good, George.

If it is true that "The harvest is great," it would behoove us to go to where the harvest is fresh and ready ... not (to) the old dried up corn stalks of yesteryear. I understand that you/we/I would hope for support from what we would imagine to be our own kind, but evidently, we are NOT altogether like-minded and, that being the case, C'iest l'vive! (or however that is spelled) - G

[3] Man! Did that message from Machiventa arrive in time to wake me up! Never too old to learn, tho. - D.

[4] So many times, I, too, have tirelessly beaten my head against ‘brick headed walls.’ The incredible time I have wasted over the years trying to change the minds of those who are simply too blind too see. I needed that message from dear Machiventa today. I need to be reminded constantly to say NO TO NONSENSE, especially that which "seems" to be so-o-o spiritual. - J.

[5] Brilliantly put, Machiventa/George. I have endlessly wasted my time with old, closed minds, and ignored the young ones reaching out for real answers…. No more hard rock mining with all that gold in them hills. ;-) Thank you.

Wow! And I thought I was the only slow learner on Urantia - George. Hah!

Always in Michael’s Service.

Received by Sandy Montee.

Machiventa: "We are pleased to visit with you this evening. We have stood back as your teachers during these weeks past, but of course not as your friends.

"We have watched out for you, continually, while you have been going through these troubled times, and we have noted your very human emotions of not wanting your family to be in pain.

"And a good mother you are in wanting to protect your children from harm. Understandably, they are close to your heart, but they are also far from you in a foreign land, and I would like for you to, please, remember that these are not just your children, but together with you, they are God’s children, too.

"He is a personal God, and He loves and protects your children, as He, from the moment of your first breath has loved and protected you.

"To be given the opportunity to apply yourself to the task of parenthood in every sense of its true meaning is the greatest gift in the Universes. Your heavenly Father, by Him entrusting you to care for His children during their sojourn on Earth, is seen to hold you in the highest esteem.

"To become a caregiver, a provider, a teacher to one or more offspring is an honor indeed, for the vast majority of His angelic creatures can only be seen as surrogate parents, perhaps, and at various times in their universe careers.

"Take the gifts Father blesses you with, and savor all the precious moments as they occur. Life on Earth is a tremendous opportunity in itself, when you accept the challenges that need to be faced, and the lessons as they present themselves.

"The time for happiness is right now! If you wait for the very moment when everything is going your way, and you have nothing more to worry about, the time for happiness may actually never come.

"I hope my lighthearted message brings you comfort. This is Machiventa."

Sandy: "Thank you, Machiventa."
