Bzutu: “This is Midwayer Chief Bzutu.  I have known this receiver of messages for sixty-four years, two months and a few days.  That is a very long time in a human life to be in some way associated with us.  I certainly expect and hope to know him for many more years to come, because he is a friend, and friendship is also important in keeping the connection open.  Your closeness to your Celestial Teachers is a very big part of being a regular receiver, but that does not make this human a guru.  He does not want to be a guru.  He is also aware of the fact that perhaps ninety percent of our contact is achieved by us reaching down to him, and perhaps just ten percent or a little more is due to his reaching up to us.  A famous joke is often retold and laughed about; that no new Friends can join the 11:11 Progress Group unless they are first of all introduced by a known Celestial member of the group.  And so let me introduce your Teacher for tonight, Machiventa Melchizedek.”  (The Midwayer is joking).
 
Machiventa: “I greet you, dear people here assembled.  This is Machiventa.  There are many of you who wish to speak to Celestial Teachers, Spirit Guardians, or Guides, and indeed, they are all under my tutelage.  I am your Planetary Prince, appointed by Michael of Nebadon.
 
“The most important aspect of reaching your Celestial Teachers is your intent.  Are you prepared to work on it on a regular basis?  Are you prepared to take mornings instead of evenings as a preference for your meditation?  Do you take all precautions to still your mind?  And yet, in the end analysis, it is up to your Spirit within; your Thought Adjuster, not me, to foresee if you will stick with a regular meditation program to reach your Teachers in the end.  For many it is difficult to take away the unexpected thoughts and veritable ‘shopping lists’ that go through the mind -- to still the mind completely, and focus on the very stillness that is required for you to hear the voices that use your very own thought (speech) centers to give you the messages, firstly to the capacity of your vocabulary, and secondly to the degree you accept what comes your way.
 
“Therefore, it is important for you to put aside your beliefs, to have no beliefs, as you listen to the voices within.  Also important is for you to request kindly and politely of the Spirit Self within you that you may so serve others in their learning, in getting answers, in finding these things that are important to hear.
 
“As well, insure that your body is in good shape.  Make sure that your mind is calm.  Be certain that you do not have outstanding guilt feelings, or unreasoned fears.  Solve these kinds of problems even before you begin your meditation, and then you will find that if you can stick to a ten or fifteen minute meditation regimen for ten or twenty days, whilst discarding anything that you may hear in the meantime, that a Teacher will make the effort to come through to you, almost always.
 
“Make your service to others the prime reason why you want to be a receiver of messages.  This is Machiventa.  I sincerely hope that I have herewith given you a fairly accurate rundown on the requirements of becoming a receiver of Celestial messages.
 
“I greet you and for one of the members here, I wish you well on your trip to many countries.  I say goodbye for now.”
