Menelik
Hi! I learned years ago that the word, Hi , comes from an Arabic word that means, "LIFE". Hi, I wish you life!
My name is Menelik. I am a fourth-order starseed who fell from the universe of Fanoving. Between 4 am to 5 am, on an early spring morning towards the southeastern horizon you can see the cluster of stars that our astronomers call, Alpha Centauri. You can see it better in the southern hemisphere near the Southern Cross. This is my point of origin. This is where it all began for me, on a planet far, far away in a universe called Fanoving.....Calling all Fanovings!,......Calling all Avalonians, Wolverings and Nebadonians.
I find myself here on Urantia (Earth) due to a decision that I made involving myself in the Lucifer Manifesto. That decision altered my ascension plan in a very big way. And because of the mercy of our Creator Son of Nebadon, Christ Michael, I have been given a major blessing, one that I take very seriously.
I bow in humility, honor, and devotion to my adopted father, Christ Michael, who put me on this planet to clean up my relativity in this most destructive rebellion. I honor the Mandate of the Bright and Morning Star, Gabriel of Urantia and Niánn Emerson Chase, who by their courage and devotion life after life, renaissance upon renaissance, has gathered this wayward flock of Change Agents, the First Cosmic Family once again to help bring this rebellion to a close.
I show my respect to all those who have come before me to Global Community Communications Alliance, to my Elders and my cosmic family, to my cosmic sister and the friends who quickly came after me and made the hard decision to become a full-time worker for God.
I honor my biological family, the Humes and the Wolds. I honor also all the friends who helped me in life, gave me friendship in hard times and assisted in a future destiny that none of us knew was in the making, some of you not knowing until now.
What brought me here? What brought me here is easy. It was the magnetic pull of the Mandate, Gabriel and Niánn, and my cosmic family, and most importantly, my faith and love for God. That's what brought me here. This also brings up to the question, who am I? I still enjoy finding that out, moment to moment, day by day. How did I arrive at the First Planetary Sacred Home? That's a long story, which I will soon tell.
The ancestors of my biological family started out on the Tweed River in the southern uplands of Scotland, seventy-five miles southeast from Loch Lomond. George Hume, my distant grandfather, was the emigrant who settled in Virginia. He was a surveyor and taught surveying to a young apprentice named George Washington. The two of them became close friends in Washington's early life. George Hume's son, William, and George Washington were born the same year. Both were reared in the same village of Fredricksburg. William Hume grew up, got married and had a son, Alexander. Alexander and his father, William, both served under George Washington in the War of Independence. It was this ancestor, William Hume, who chose to join the fight for a new liberty and a new government. I am continuing this fight two hundred and twenty-four years later as one of his distant grandsons, fighting for the same freedom and helping to establish a new government.
The reasons why I share this information now is because of my cosmic genetic connections to the First Cosmic Family here in Sedona. Recently I followed the biological lineage of the Humes further back into history covering the royalty of Scotland as well as Ireland. To my amazement I found that the Hume family goes back to the first century and even further back to the Hebrew nation. The lines of grandfathers and grandmothers led to King Solomon and his father King David. This is where I come in again as "Menelik", which is my cosmic name that was given to me four and a half years ago when I arrived at the First Planetary Sacred Home. Solomon's first-born son was also named Menelik, the Queen of Sheba's son. My biological lineage traces back to Solomon and to his second son Reaboam and also his son Aasa. It is amazing to me how we are all so interconnected within the great plan that God has in store for us.
I was born at St. Mary's Hospital in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This hospital is situated on the banks of the Mississippi river. Thirty-five years later I find that my cosmic sister was born close to where I was on the opposite side of the river in St. John's hospital in the city of St. Paul.
I grew up as a Lutheran. When I was five years old I had such a love for Jesus, you know the song "Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so." I was sitting in the pew thinking, "Jesus, won't You show Yourself for these people? They look so sad. If You show Yourself than maybe they will believe You more and be more happy." Well, it didn't happen. But years later He did show Himself to me and blew me out of the water. I'll explain later.
Being a Lutheran seemed normal for most congregation members, but for me something did not make sense. I had questions. Like the question that more people seem to be asking these days, " If Adam and Eve were the first humans, who were the other people?" When my pastor couldn't answer this question, I knew then that I was on the threshold of a grand adventure. So I started searching. Several years later I found out more about Martin Luther. This was due in part to my mother's persistence on giving me a book to read on the life of Martin Luther. Being involved here as a student at the Urantian and Starseed Schools of Melchizedek, I have learned more of who this man was and is, and what part I played during the time of the Reformation.
My search started in astronomy and science. At ten years old I read books that I couldn't even understand. I couldn't even pronounce half the words in books. There was something pushing me to find out.
As a teenager between the ages of twelve to twenty I was learning to survive in this society and staying afloat. I was involved in everything that I could get my hands and mind on. It amazes me that I made it. I collected rocks, beer cans, old coins, and exotic woods. I read books on archaeology, architecture, space travel, spacecraft, ancient civilizations, pyramids, and UFOs. I read the Bible twice, loved the "Songs of Solomon", enjoyed "The Book of Job" and the life of Abraham, and was fascinated by the book on "Revelation". I savored every word that was spoken by Jesus. All of this brought me to a change point in my life. At the age of twenty while sitting on a rock I found myself looking up at the stars and for the first time asking out loud to God, "What is going on???" I said to Him that I needed a sign so I would know I was being heard... that someone up there was listening to me. And the sign came within minutes. When I came back inside I found a poster that was titled, "Footprints in the Sand." After that experience I now knew that someone up there was really listening. That's when I committed to having a personal relationship with God. It was shortly after that experience that I felt a presence by my side for the first time. It was scary in the beginning to feel this presence, but over the years I learned to accept it and come to know it.
My spiritual path began to take off. I got into Herbalife to change my health. I stopped taking prescription drugs. I started fading out marijuana and alcohol. The high wasn't high any more. I checked out Dianetics from Scientology and was their most uncooperative student. I was told by someone that I flew space crafts in another life. I definitely didn't tell my friends this, even though growing up these same friends called me "Space Cadet" and called my car a space mobile. I read Journey to Ixland by Carlos Castenada and Discipleship in the New Age by Alice Bailey. After finding a St. Francis pendant at a job site, I thought, "This must be a sign." So I read about the life of St. Francis. I watched the movie Gandhi . I loved the movie Jesus of Nazareth . My favorite movies were Close Encounters of the Third Kind and ET . Yea, I was considered weird. No, very weird. I had so many interests, and I had a lot of unique friends for each interest. However, as I became more committed to spirituality, I found that I had fewer friends to relate to. My search to know God was getting deeper.
Another change point was in the mist. After coming back from a trip to Australia at the age of twenty-three and not finding what I was looking for (I did find the Southern Cross), I found a job designing toys back in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I thought I wanted to settle down and plant my roots. But God had other plans. "If you really want to make God laugh, tell him your plans." The toy company went bankrupt, and bit by bit all of my plans fell apart. I thought that life was too crazy and wanted to check out. This was a dark time in my life. All during this dark time I kept hearing a voice saying, "Keep on keeping on; you are almost there." That voice kept me going. Thank God there is a God! That June of 1984 at a Spiritual Frontier Fellowship retreat, finally the light at the end of the tunnel became very luminous. At that retreat I had an encounter of the closest kind. I had a vision walking with Jesus in the sand. Jerusalem was in the distance. I saw His extraordinary eyes, felt His soft robe, His coarse beard, even smelled His scent. He told me that He loved me, and we talked about my life and what I would be doing in the future. Today I remember this vision very clearly with exception of the part where He told me what I would be doing. Now that I am reuniting with my cosmic family who participated in the first century as apostles and disciples, the purpose of that vision is coming to light.
After that vision my life was ruined, my old life that is. Now I was very alone, but not lonely. I still had friends but few to relate to. The visions didn't stop; in fact they increased from 1984 to 1994. I knew that there would be a Second Coming and that Jesus would be coming back. I had a vision of the New Jerusalem being built in the southwest; that I would be traveling to Jerusalem, Egypt and other parts of the world; and that this planet would rise out of the solar system and become a new planet. I realized after these visions I needed to find others who had similar experiences.
The familiar voice inside prompted me against asking questions to psychiatrists, ministers, and priests who I found didn't have the answers. Even the Bible didn't give me all the answers. I read the Koran, it helped a little. I read New Age books which were mostly "quick fixes", rather like getting a temporary high off of a good buzz until you move on to find something else. The Native American culture was becoming more appealing, especially the Lakota. I had visions of Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, and other Grandfathers before me. While sitting by a lake in northern Minnesota I read Black Elk Speaks and related to Black Elk's experience.
At this point in my life (twenty-five years old), being on cloud nine, it all came to an abrupt halt. I got into a freaky car accident where my biological sister and I were very lucky to have come out of it without injury. My car was totaled. We both knew that we were safeguarded in this experience. Now I found myself with no car, no job, no money. So at this time, while praying what to do next, the one thing that I found that I could do at the age of twenty-five was join the Army's National Guard and become a helicopter pilot. So to the surprise of myself and others, I signed up. It was a strange choice coming from having a spiritual relationship with Jesus.
Basic training was a good experience. The military experience taught me about leadership, submitting to rank, and team work. I actually think that all high school graduates would benefit from the experience of discipline that basic training presents. Unfortunately, the standpoint is from a militarialistic view, not a spiritual one. I didn't become a pilot, but I was involved with flying as a refueler. I met a lot of interesting people in the military, warriors who had a spiritual outlook but joined because of the educational benefits. In the military I found there were a lot of people in this world with many talents who did want to do some good for the people of the planet.
While being a part-time
warrior with the National Guard, a close friend told me about
The URANTIA
Book
. This friend's brother, who was a Mormon, had alternative religious
beliefs and had introduced it to her secretly. That week I went looking
for the book and bought it at the Unity Church that I was involved in.
In December 1988 I started reading
The URANTIA Book
and couldn't
put it down. I read it completely through. Answers to many
questions that I have searched for so many years were now in my hands.
I decided to read it again. Reading the Jesus Papers was like coming
home.
A short time after
finding
The URANTIA Book
, two Mormon missionaries came knocking
at my door. I saw in them their strong faith in Jesus and their beautiful
family values that other religions didn't have. Weeks later and after
much prayer, I chose to be baptized as a Latter Day Saint from The Church
of Jesus Christ. For three years I struggled and then left the Church.
The fact was that there were higher concepts in
The URANTIA Book
,
and it was not a part of their extended teachings.
Shortly after finding The URANTIA Book and becoming a Mormon, I chose to marry one of my good friends. I really thought that this is what I was supposed to do—buy a house, raise a family, and live happily ever after. Well, God again had another plan, which was back to the original vision with Jesus and seeing my life purpose. Spiritually I needed to find my higher purpose. I became very restless. After four years my marriage ended.
Again I was at a new beginning. My spiritual path widened. The visions continued. Every week a presence of some sort would be in my room. I would always greet them with "Hello, if you are not of God and Christ Michael, please leave!" Some would leave, some would stay. One who stayed became my most trusted traveling companion who I would call Bogoot.
From 1992 to 1994 my life experience was like a testing grounds. At this time I lived as a caretaker in the most beautiful garden at a Science of Mind Church on the banks of Lake Minnetonka in Minnesota. This land that the church was built on had been a sacred area of the Nakota Nation. Some say that where I lived was their sacred burial grounds. More things happened in those two years than any previous year. I experienced more visions, more travels, more growth and cosmic recognition. The gathering of kindred souls started to take place. I was developing the World Peace Trail in what was going to be a four year commitment of walking and biking around the world. The trail was designed as a seed bearer for world peace. It would establish an actual trail networking people of different countries. As I worked on the Peace Trail my friends and I were also working on forming an intentional community. At one of our gatherings discussing community living there was finally the opportunity to meet someone that a mutual friend wanted me to meet for the last two years. I was told that this person was a lot like me. That evening I met my beloved cosmic sister. The room was very active with unseen friends; there must have been a cosmic celebration. We became inseparable and traveled extensively. Exactly one year later while driving the tentative Peace Trail, she and I arrived in Sedona. Like landing a 747 with a screeching halt we finally made it "Home". God seems to have the upper hand in our affairs. This I know as I write this profile—how all these experiences were leading me to the First Planetary Sacred Home.
So here I am, in Divine Administration for almost five years. What makes this real for me is that all of my previous desires and realities always pointed to this direction...."Home". The family and friends here are like jewels glittering beneath sparkling clear water. Our souls are being fed expanded truths. Of all the places that I have ever lived, of all the wonderful friends, of all the experiences that life gave me, I feel blessed all the more because of this reality that is spoken and shared with my cosmic family.
To the ones reading this profile I ask you to take notice. You have not seen the mountain until you have walked her meadows. You have not seen the ocean sparkle until you have gazed into her blue green crest. You have not seen divinity until you experience living in the divine presence.
Ask yourselves the questions again, "Who am I?" While you're sitting sipping coffee at a café in Southern France, ask yourself the question that millions around the world are asking, "Where is God calling me?" Walking down a cobbled street with the aroma of a spiced dish or fishing a quiet stream, ask again the question, "Why am I not doing what my God is calling me to do?" There are no more excuses. The answer has been with you for a very long time.
It is time not only for your life decisions but the decisions of your friends and the people of this planet. It is time for a Spiritualution—A Spirit to Soul Solution. It is time to connect heart to heart the embrace of Jesus, Christ Michael. It is time for His children to come Home.
I've admired Martin Luther King Jr. when he said to the people, "I have been to the mountain top and I have seen the Promised Land and I know that even though all of you have not been to the mountain top the day will come where we will all be in the Promised Land."
I would like to close by sharing with you something I found recently in a book that was written sixty years ago by a man named William Dudley Pelley. Some called him a mystic; I call him a man of God. He was one who listened deeply to the quiet voice.
"You are emissaries of Light, guided of me to utter truths among the nations; these plans I have for you, and for those who sit with you; take stock of my words, beloved, for you are my sheep and close unto my heart. When the Great Speaking comes, great shall be your honor. I say, prepare yourselves that you may do works in my name such as government never hath done for humankind; give richly of your time to study; take leisure and observe; go and come amongst the important ones; have not foolish reserve; equip yourselves for great works. I say it shall happen that you may be chosen of me to lead the nations as never were they led; I equip you for your tasks in your minds and your spirits. Heed not the cries of those who make a mocking; if relatives disdain you give them no tumult; go your ways, beloved, led of my presence, letting the dead past bury its dead. You have naught to fear; you have naught whereof to shudder, ever Self-Confidence must flame upon your ensign. Gird up your loins and be about your [Father's] business. Great work calleth! Think not of yourselves as mortals climbing a ladder unto fame: think of yourselves as immortals descending a ladder to minister unto those at the bottom of a well."
