Like so many, my spiritual education began in childhood guided by the beliefs and practices of my family and the culture that surrounded me. And again, like so many as I grew and acquired experience of my own, I began to develop my own sense of spiritual reality.
There were of course milestones in my early development…such as my participation in a summer Presbyterian mission where I was asked to teach Bible classes to those in the hills of Jamaica. I soon discovered they knew the bible better than I and I tasted the hypocrisy of one being revered due to the perceived status of one’s country rather than the accomplishments of the individual. That experience turned me away from organized religion and though I continued to believe in God, the teachings of Christ, and the bible as a sacred text, I began to develop questions beyond much of what I read as metaphor in the Bible. It was not until my introduction and study of the Urantia book 38 years ago that I found a written source that actually answered in more specific terms many of my questions about the spiritual significance of my life on Earth and the universal realities beyond this earthly existence.
Through the many years that followed, I‘ve expanded my knowledge by reading widely in spiritual, philosophical, sacred and secular literature only to find myself returning to the Urantia Book as the most reliable source of spiritual reality, universal law and cosmology. While discouraging readers to make it the foundation for yet another religion on earth, it provides a logical explanation and history for the current difficulties and state of affairs that exist on our planet today and supports the universal connection of all beings to each other regardless of religious belief or affiliation. Most importantly, the Urantia book respects our individual diversity and encourages each of us to develop our own unique and personal relationship with the divine.
Again like so many, my journey did not end there…for soon I was to discover the validity to the statement that revelation and truth are ongoing and experiential. It cannot be contained in the covers of any book no matter how sacred we may consider its origin or contents. Just at the time when my life had reached a peak of complexity and fulfillment with a 40 year career in education, and a 35 year family life as wife, mother and grandmother…I was to discover that others were indeed receiving additional revelation in the form of personal communication with celestial beings. Many of these humans were either Urantia Book students or who after celestial contact were led to the Urantia Book.
I spent two years voraciously reading hundreds of these transcripts from our celestial friends in an effort to validate the existence of ongoing revelation. I concluded that there is indeed value and authentication to two movements taking place at this time between celestial beings and humans; One being the personal training given to human individuals called the Teaching Mission and the other being the training of those in preparation for the arrival of a magisterial/paradise son called the Magisterial Mission. So for several years now, I’ve jumped in with both feet and an open heart/mind to participate with others and contribute to the will of the Father as it relates what I understand as plans for all who live on our Earth called the Correcting Time.
Some of you may know me as the moderator of the Special Sessions with Monjoronson, the soon to arrive Magisterial Son and his staff. This truly was the beginning of both my public and inner dialogue with Monjoronson who is known by many names in other religious faiths and circles. It is anticipated by many that he will come to Earth for all of mankind during this lifetime to assist us in the rehabilitation and future evolution of our planet.
You may also have noted that in the midst of these very first sessions with him, (unbeknownst to me at the time), I was being prepared for the unexpected passing of my husband of 35 years which occurred two weeks after engaging Monjoronson in multiple sessions on the topic of death and dying. This engagement did not end there, as Monjoronson has maintained a truly supportive and intimate presence with me as I journey through the multiple layers of grief, adjustment and acceptance. His daily presence in my life, his compassion, and his continual guidance is testament to the wonderful gift soon to be bestowed upon the willing inhabitants of our planet who choose to drink from his wisdom as he manifests in the human form on Urantia (the universal name for our planet, Earth).
As I began to rebuild a life from one that had literally stopped in its tracks, I’ve begun to realize that the journey is just beginning. And as I’ve trudged along desperately missing the day-to-day anchor that my husband was in my life, my needs have been anticipated by our celestial friends. I am the continual recipient of many generous offerings that have lightened my load and proven to me that in this friendly universe, anything is possible. The insight and engagement with Monjoronson and other beings of light continues to this day. Through their guidance and training, I am continually exploring what exists beyond our lives on Earth as I am simultaneously brought into the creative fold of this magnificent plan to rehabilitate this planet.
You will find as many have before me, that through contemplation and stillness, a personal path unfolds that discloses for each of us how we can contribute in an active ‘spiritually pragmatic’ way toward the healing and elevation of life on our planet. And in following this path, I am continually awed by the gifts I receive that in the younger years of my life, I would have viewed as nothing short of miracles. This is our future destiny, this unfolding of the potential in each of us to receive and in turn give as we take our rightful co-creative seat as divine and spiritual children of our Father, Creator or First Source ( whatever you may choose to call it).
As we grow and develop in this material dimension we live in, we learn that we function at the non-absolute level of truth. Because of this, truth lies in the eyes of the beholder. As we journey through life, there is still much to learn that may change our view of what is real, true and relevant and we must remain aware flexible and open to new discoveries. And yet what continually surfaces throughout my studies and communications, is a validation that there are certain universal truths that remain constant. It is these that we wish to share with you. At the same time we wish to offer for your considerations, some answers, possibilities, and maybe alternative truths to the frequently asked questions that one encounters in our journey to self-discovery.
I encourage you to ‘believe’ that we are indeed embarking on a new age of consciousness with gifts abound for all who seek this connection to their divinity within and forge ahead with faith in the belief that all things are possible.
