Christ Michael Subject: “Put Away This Sword”
Contributing Receiver
Michael: “Our Father’s business – our labor together – is to bring peace to this Earth, and this process needs to begin with each of you individually, my brothers and sisters.
“It is for you to lay down your swords of anger and malice, and to learn to make war no more. All of you can stem the tide of hatred by beginning on this day to do your part. You may often consider that you can do little on your own to bring peace to your earthly home, but I tell you now this ever-lasting truth; that global peace begins in the Inner Kingdom of self.
“I have taught that the Kingdom of Heaven lies within each of you, yet many of my children have created their own small personal hells within, and they need to release their true selves from these hells of their own making. You must first learn to free yourselves from these infernos of your censuring, for then you will unlearn war.
“I will assist you in beginning this step-by-step process. Trust completely that you do not walk this path alone. And trust completely, also, that once you decide to seek with all your hearts and all your souls our Father’s will on earth, you will receive all the help you need. It is your Father’s desire that you reach and maintain His Heavenly Kingdom within.
“I have taught of the maintenance of a weed free garden of the mind, and now we may begin a little Inner Kingdom cleaning.
“And I would have you begin on this day in examining some of the swords you carry. There are a great many of our Father’s beloved children, who carry the sword of a razor sharp tongue. Should you be the owner of one of these swords, put it away and raise it up no more.
“Before you leave our morning meeting, establish in your heart the true purpose for laying down your swords. There is a better day ahead for each of you who will attempt this one loving act alone. Of this you can be very sure. Would that all razor sharp tongues of antagonism and spite were put aside quickly, all wars would end in a very short time.
“Should you desire peace on earth, my brothers and sisters, then consider what your part of that peace might be.”

Today has been an unusually warm and humid day for this far south on Australia’s East Coast. Instead of remaining in stillness, I actually fell asleep, to be awoken by my Spirit Self – a rare occasion these days. There sure is nothing like being paid that kind of attention to instantly “prod one back to life”.

Christ Michael Subject: “Take The Long Term View”
Received by George Barnard
Spirit Self: “You had better wake up!”
Midwayer Mathew: “That’s good advice under the circumstances.”
George: “I think I was actually falling asleep here. What a week this has been!”
Michael: “This is you Brother-Father Michael. I am with you always, awake or asleep, and in the sense that I came and never really left, as your hardworking friends (Midwayers) explained to you long ago.
“Truly I’m here, for I did not go away, from this, my favored and troubled planet -- my home. There are so many difficulties for you to overcome, and my life too, as short as it was, became a mighty challenge.
“You and your friends, in the tasks you have undertaken, have not gone for the easy life. Indeed you have not. How consistently simple and constant life is on so many well-organized and loyal planets! How troublesome and distractive your lives can be with so many obstacles here to overcome!
“Yet you can build no strength of character without ample difficulties placed in your path. You cannot develop the tenacity of your kind, your races, your species, without the day-to-day concerns that test and case harden your resolve. You would never become one of our universe’s ‘treasured planners for the longer term’ without the uncertainty of survival, without your frequent doubts about success, without the knowledge of your being appreciated, or even being known to me.
“Without these hurdles to jump, you cannot build the faith that will carry you over the threshold, yes, of Paradise, and with an everlasting, yes, eternal ‘certificate of excellency’ to your name. So take the long-term view.
“We heard of your oft-quoted desire to one day arrive on the Mansion Worlds and shout, “WHY?,” in order to get your numerous answers to wherefore things must be so in your present realm, but I promise you that these answers will all become known to you in time and in eternity.
“I assure you that here, in our realm, we are aware of your every challenge and endeavor to pick you up after every fall. We know of your every despair and smooth the path for you where we can. Hold on tight to an appreciation of your planetary existence. Shine your light on the path you choose to travel, so you will not veer off it. Keep our treasured planet in your thoughts and prayers. And stay in touch with me, and with the Father, for we are the Travelers, the Wanderers, the Scouts who walk beside you, always. Ever.
“I am with you, my dear ones, more than you can imagine. I experience your rejoicing, as I experience your pains, and I grieve for your losses as I delight in your successes. Even more do I treasure your creative endeavors.
“This is Michael, and I hold you all dear to my heart.”
Notes: The terms, “Spirit Self”, “Father Fragment”, “Pilot Light”, and “Thought Adjuster” all have the same meaning.
This transmission was received for us all, but especially for someone dear to us, who is in great difficulties right now… George.

Midwayer Chief, Bzutu (ABC-22) Subjects: “Living In The Past And Fear”
Received by George Barnard
Bzutu: “We have a connection.”
George: “You’re sounding loud and clear, Brother. Our greetings.”
Bzutu: “It is I, your ‘conspirator’ of many seasons, and of lectures on many a subject, and we carry on by your invitation, and with the subject of ‘Fear’.
“Countless are the lessons you were taught over those years, and in the time we got to know you so well, and you got to know us so well, the subliminal way was more often employed than was open contact. Surprised? It was intense, but you were ‘a receptive market for our subconsciously downloaded product’.
“In the instance of overcoming fear, we managed to strike a worthwhile balance between outright fatalism and the ultra-cautious. Still you question why fear must continue to haunt the human races. Why, indeed, does it apply even to us midway creatures in some instances? Undeniably, we borrowed heavily from the human gene pool.
“For you there are many more reasons why. The shadow of the rebellion still hangs over this world like a stale-odor storm cloud, and they are the Urantia children who know more about fear, torture and war, ‘hell and damnation’ than do most on the evolutionary worlds.
“A ‘generous helping of fear’ is an essential build-in aspect of any evolutionary creature, for without it, there would not exist the necessary caution at appropriate times. However, your human propensities for living in the past exaggerate your perceived suspicions, at times into a paralyzing stupor, and at more frequent times to such a degree that individuals, families, nay, whole nations will even strike preemptively.
“You have chosen to be silent on the question of this obsessive saber rattling that occupies so many gifted minds in these times, and in radio broadcasts, news articles, and Internet chat rooms.
“We Midwayers need not be ambiguous about the status quo on the planet. We have our minds made up, and we have every right to be outspoken about this threat in the making. Enough of war, enough of vengeance, enough of tit-for-tat retaliation in which the task falls to us to clean up and make good the heart-rending traumas you leave us with on the battle fields, in streets and homes.
“We do not want you to live in the past where yesterday’s affront springs back into a new life with every sun-up, for then you ARE living the lives of has-beens, as individuals, as a group, as a country, as a world – treating each other like total strangers when you are, each and all, the closest of kin.
“As you succeed in living in the present for the future, you will become more fearless, and as you become more courageous you will more clearly see your future in the now, and that you must let go of yesterday’s grudges, bitterness, ill will and compulsive need to control.
“In short, you will comprehend ‘Love’, when you learn to say, ‘That was yesterday’.
“This is I, midwayer chief Bzutu, leaving this playschool and returning to kindergarten duties elsewhere. My love and respect is with you, always. Carry on. Adieu.”
George: “Au revoir.”

Notes: Earlier today he made the suggestion that sometime in the future when I reside on a Mansion World, I will choose to study up about things of interest to him, and that we can debate – subjects that are still unavailable to him here.
I’m in no hurry to leave, but already he is picking up on things that are of life-long intrigue to me. And with this there is an unvoiced suggestion that the ‘link’ with ABC-22 will grow stronger, in fact, that it will never break.
That (unrecorded) earlier message supposes that a Mansion World life will bring us an improved mind-to-mind ability in near-instant communication, similar to what is used by Midwayers, Seraphim, and other Celestials.

Primary Midwayer, Andrea Subject: “The Work We Do”
Andrea: “Yes, my dear earthly comrades, the presence you so clearly feel is indeed mine. This is your friend, Andrea.
“I am so happy that you are willing to set aside this moment to accept a message from me, for as well you know, my life-long function and foremost expertise is in the field of communication with all kinds of Celestial Beings, but this task would do me little good if I could not find someone human to accept my thoughts as well. It’s the work I do. The work we do by His grace.
“I would like to say a few words about a mortal who is brave enough to report messages from myself, my extended midwayer family, and all your Celestial Friends who talk with you. They live in the hope that our messages will be sent on, to practically all those you know, and all those who are willing to believe in our existence, our love and care.
“I want you, and the others of our beloved and trusted Progress Group, and all those who share our words on the lists to know how much you are appreciated. You live on the present-day cutting edge, and in acceptance of the chances you will be thought of by many as ‘the odd characters’ that actually believe it to be possible to ‘talk with spirits’ -- entities that you cannot always readily see.
“You are also accepting the help and care of those of us who look after you, and walk with you in your daily lives in which your joys become our bliss, your heartaches are also ours to share with you. We are your true-blood cousins, the midwayers, and we pray that you will continue to talk with us, and accept us as your caring guardians, and especially as your doting friends.
“I remind you of a visual/audible communication of some time ago, when you witnessed those beams of light energy with which your Celestial Teachers ‘push their messages of love and understanding through the circuits’, and how you witnessed that few individuals would accept these prompting beams, and absorb the lessons and teachings of their Celestial Carers.
“So many of you, still, will not enter into the awareness that you are constantly receiving these ‘bumps’, these ‘prompts’, this ‘positive input’. And to the greater number, these ‘beams of light’ bounced right off, and back into the spiritual realm like a ‘return to sender’. So few mortals accept our messages, for they have no idea that any of us are even here.
“We carry on, for this is the work we do.
“Each of you mortals living on planet Earth right now has so many spirits, angels, guardians, teachers, guides -- whatever name you prefer to give us -- with you at all times. We cheer you on when you meet with success, and we feel your sadness when you encounter failure. We know how alone you may at times think yourself to be, yet that is never the case. Heavenly hosts of helpers are waiting for you to ask for their assistance.
“We, here, are all involved in the task of co-creation, together with our Creators, just like you are. We, too, are in the service of Christ Michael (Jesus) and dedicated to help, heal, and love you – God’s children and our equals. Your Planetary Prince, Machiventa Melchizedek is our immediate Boss, and confers with us about where we should be, and what we should do, for to serve is his delight, as it is ours.
“We are an ancient species in the sense of how you reckon time, and we are greatly experienced and knowledgeable, and, yes, we so often perceive you doing things the hard way, as we try to keep you safe, or attempt to catch you when you fall.
“Our work of appointment would go entirely unnoticed if we did not have people like you working for spiritual progress and to have our messages heard by your comrades. I say, keep pushing the limits, and there may be a person out there, each time, who will treasure a tiny seed from one of our teachings, and that seed may mature and in time produce.
“I thank you for accepting this truth, and assure you of my appreciation for your endeavors.
“Goodbye for now. My love is with you always.
“I am Andrea.”
