November 11, 2007

* Monjoronson (Mark TR): Greetings, I am Monjoronson, once again here to . .. that has been offered in your sharing. Today let us take another look at messages and messengers. I have just witnessed, as have you, the sharing of individuals and their real life experiences and perceptions, and I, like you, have responded to these messages as real and genuine, and they have impacted me as being delivered by sincere messengers.

This point illustrates that any of us at any given moment may be called to function as messengers delivering inspiration, perception, and truth as we understand it to the others who are assembled. Whether this truth is simply a matter of personal experience, a matter of personal expression, or wisdom received from on high, nevertheless if delivered through the sincere messenger, each time these messages of truth contain the very seeds of divinity and purity of purpose. They may in fact at any time be incomplete or immature in their assessment and delivery, but nevertheless there is contained some element of truth, some elements of goodness, and certainly some elements of beauty.

We all must grow in our awareness that truth will be channeled to us, will be directed to us from all sides, from all angles, and that we would do well to be at the ready, to be prepared to recognize and receive the truth that would be directed towards us. The human species has a tendency to only give credit to sources that have been granted authority, either by the collective institution or by the collective acknowledgment of others that there is one in authority that is capable of directing such truths, when in fact all children of God are so capable of being conduits for truth, that at any moment they may be called upon to act as the messengers to direct the message.

Each one of you knows the validity of this statement as you find yourselves in positions to be used as this conduit for delivery of whatever the message of the moment may be. Likewise if your senses are keen you will find that others out there are being directed to be used for your benefit and that the individual who is janitor at the school may be in the proper position in time and space to be the one to bring you the message appropriate to you more so than the appointed priest who others would grant this authority to over a custodian. Both may be the messenger; you may be the messenger; I may be the messenger of this moment. We all in a sense take turns fulfilling this role, for the messages are great, and many messengers are required to filter down these messages so that they may be assimilated. Ask first your inner Spirit of Truth the validity of any message you hear before you allow your mind to either substantiate or condemn the message based upon its apparent source. Because as you have been told, all messages of divine nature emanate from one great source; it is only the individual's pen that may be used to transcribe or whose voice may be used to express or whose position of prominence may be accessed to provide maximum benefit.

But you may trust that if it is affirmed within the message then it should matter little to you who the messenger is. It is not about highlighting the messengers; it is about illustrating the message. Just as when you are called upon to be the messenger you do not seek the recognition of one who is grand in authority, rather it is your desire to impart the message, even if it is apparently merely your own personal experience, which I offer is one of the most powerful expressions of truth, beauty, and goodness that a mortal of the realm may offer. These messages carry divine tone as well, for they are well earned by the steadfast students and therefore have a power generated from the ground up, as it were.

Such messages are powerful because they speak to all the others who come from this place and can relate to messages so well earned. So, speak your truths with authority; they are genuine and real and therefore they are powerful beyond your consideration. And as well seek to discern the relative value of all messages that may come to you based upon your individual yardstick of your Spirit of Truth. In this way there is truly nothing out there to be feared. You may choose not at any moment to adopt any teachings and nothing will ever be forced upon you. From one who is acting as a messenger at this moment, whose privilege it is to portray to you this message, I would acknowledge your worthiness as messengers as well and applaud your efforts at functioning in this role. I would step down at this time to allow this forum for others and leave you with my profound appreciation, for we both share this role at times. Thank you.

* Lantarnek (Jonathan): This is Lantarnek. Greetings. You have rich experiences that catalogue your life, and each one has proven essential in the unfoldment of your spiritual perspective, your spiritual orientation. Not all, of course, have been directly promoting, no. Some have actually proven to be hindrances but nonetheless helpful, for it is the contrasts that offer discernment, the opportunity to see with clarity.

Exploration of the un-experienced is accompanied by the lure of excitement and the hesitation of uncertainty. So you move forward hoping to discover, but you watch with an eye for validity. Validation is an important function in spiritual attainment just as verification is important in scientific experiments. To the scientist what he undertakes to discover must fit within discovered formulas, theories, and data banks, for there is no such thing as inconsistency in physical relationships. The rules that govern one govern all. In the realm of personal unfoldment there is a creative adventure being undertaken. So, you will bring into being experiences that may not find comparison with other experiences of other individuals. In such occurrences you will of necessity seek your validation from the source of all beings.

God contains every experience even while yet it is un-experienced. You are an expression of those experiences unfolding. There will arrive stations in your ascension where you will converge into a congregation of many who have also undertaken the paths like yours, and you will enjoy the fellowship of the discovery of a way of being that you had thought was merely your own sole experience.

This will be a validation from your fellows. Much of the purpose of religious organizations is to offer validation, at least in its initial orientation and motivation. Recall that when Jesus dwelled upon your world he did look to his surrounding culture to understand who he was as a child of God. While much verified his understanding, his attainments, he began to discover through his interface with Father, relationship that was not so strongly upheld in his culture. So, while he knew it to be true, it did not receive the stamp of validation from his authoritative institutions. Many who were sincere in their search were attracted to him, for he did offer witness of the reality of such an experience of communion with God. They too found within themselves the reality.

And lo, before long, as years passed, the organization that grew up around it began to compose what is acceptable and unacceptable interaction with God. Such fencing or corralling is a safeguard for the inexperienced and fear- filled individual. It can provide guidance, but it will not provide the certainty of personal assuredness until the individual has gained the strength to explore on one's own, not necessarily disregarding the teachings about one, but to be willing to look high and low, in the light and in the dark, for the truth. You have been encouraged to seek stillness, for here you develop the stature that gives you the ability to discern the real from the unreal. This is the portal for the deepest validation of your experience, independent of cultural context and precisely situated at your current level of ascension. Accept all that transpires around you and with you as essential fortifiers of your growth, and use your creativity to transform these experiences into growth.

Spend valuable time in communion with the divine for the stability and for the validation of your experience. I am thankful to attend your gathering here and wish that I could tell many more around your world of the great adventures that lie ahead of you. So much of your worldly activities would change in emphasis if more understood the greater context, the larger purpose of what is transpiring. But the few that are growing each day to be many are discovering the greater purpose, and the confirmation within themselves is strong enough to go from supposition to assertion that it is true. I salute you for your efforts in doing so. Thank you for receiving me. Farewell.

* Light (Mark): I greet you all. I am Light and I have been asked to step forward to provide some contrast in hopes of assisting in the awareness of the lessons offered today. I am here as one who some of you know, some of you don't know, as one who has very little authority invested in me as you would rate me with the other teachers and assistants who have been with you longer and with whom you have more experience. In this moment I am chosen to act as messenger, and so it is that I come before you with this message. I would ask you to stop and consider the relative acceptance that you feel when one relatively unknown as myself is selected to be the messenger.

Do you register within your own being a distinction that I am a lesser being? Do you feel as though I lack authority in my undertaking? It is true that I am not commonly with you in this process and that we do not have the benefit of association for any great period of time. But just like you, in this moment I rise to the occasion, to the opportunity, to be used as an instrument, just like you in your moments when you are called to rise to the opportunity and become this instrument. Does this mean we are lesser messengers because we are not as well acclaimed? Our names do not spring forth from the lips of those who are aware of us. We may even be forgotten or overlooked in this process, as we are not acclaimed or well known. But when we rise to act in this capacity we are fulfilling our purpose. We are acting as instruments for these divine messages of truth.

And whether or not we are equally received is not a matter that we have jurisdiction over. I simply come among you today to illustrate this point. We have our respected teachers whose names we are familiar with and in whom we have granted great authority. We have messengers who we approve of and some who do not receive our approval. But, my friends, as you were just told, be prepared to embrace all that comes into your sphere of influence as truth directed at you. And as you have been reminded, you have the ultimate inner guide to help you sort through and discern the relative application of any truth to your individual growth cycle. But what is important and necessary for you may not register with another, and what transpires for another may not ring as truth for you. But nevertheless these are the truths; these are the messages; we are the messengers, and it is not important that we be exalted in the process of simply being the instruments of the Father's peace and love.

It is enough that we were chosen to be played and that our tones may be used to ring out these songs of truth. Thank you for this opportunity to perhaps provide you with this tweak of contrast, as you might call it. In a very ironic way, I am closer to you than most others who you would grant greater authority. And this is an interesting feature to notice as you go about your process of discernment and validation. But I am not concerned that I do not receive proper credit or validation, for I am quite grateful to simply be allowed to approach you in this manner and to spend these moments building a relationship that might bring with it your validation that I am as real and as genuine as are the others whom you trust implicitly. But I understand that this is a matter to build upon and grow as we become more familiar with each other.

I understand this aspect of human nature to not embrace the unknown until it is known to a certain degree, and therefore I embrace the process that will bring us to this place. Thank you for your attention . .. they are real and perhaps this truth pertains to you or perhaps not at this time. Your decisions are all honored, and your conditions will all be satisfied in the long run, and so we proceed together in faith. Thank you. Farewell.

Which Direction Do You Choose to Manifest?

Teachers: Monjoronson, Elyon, Machiventa, Michael, Light.

November 25, 2007

* Monjoronson (Mark TR): I greet you, I am Monjoronson. I hesitate to cause ripples on the surface of such a calm and still pool as I observe in this moment. I have deeply enjoyed these moments together in stillness with you. This is where we may commune in a deeper sense without symbols or words, without tones of expression, but deeper than those things, a more direct feeling and sensing than the use of word symbols and the necessary interpretations we must make to reassemble these word symbols into meaning.

Nevertheless we will access all means available to us, and so it is that I accept the invitation of this group to access these vocal cords and use these word symbols in an effort to bring meaning out into the real world, so to speak. It is my distinct privilege to join this group assembled here as I see you as some of my most devoted associates, even as my climbing party as we form our ascension path ahead of us, and I cherish the opportunities to bask in the glow of this association with you.

There is a sense among many that there is a great challenge before us to be engaged in and that we may soon find ourselves challenged to use the many lessons that we have gathered and the many tools that we have brought into our toolboxes. This has been the point of these exercises to date, to supply us with the tools and to offer us the guidance and instruction to make the best use of these tools in our day-to-day ascensions.

So it will be that these same lessons and these same tools will be valuable to us no matter what is on the horizon before us. We still will rely on our guidance and instructions; we still by necessity will use the tools we have accumulated in this process, and through our diligent application we will rise to the occasion; we will make our ascent quite intentionally and with the inspiration of faith that we have developed in this process together. As was mentioned earlier, you are all as corks floating down the stream, and you go through times of relative eddy and calm, and then a current may catch you, and you find yourselves bobbing about with much agitation.

Throughout you can see yourselves as entering these phases of relative calm and relative stimulation, but throughout you can see yourselves as remaining centered, remaining stable no matter where you may find yourselves in the hour. That is perhaps the greatest tool we have developed in our time together, this ability to refocus our energies within and there to embrace the calm and the peace, to embrace the connection to the First Source and Center wherein all answers are known and all experiences are cherished. If we hold fast to this valuable tool we will navigate any waters we may find ourselves on with ease and certainty.

If we find ourselves thrown off center, out of balance, then situations that arise may perplex us and cause us undue stress and worry. I will never tire of reminding you that you are well cared for throughout this process and that you are entirely safe, that is, the part of you that endures. No matter what happens in the outer world, your inner world is quite protected and secure. So it is my privilege to bring this reminder to you once again and to offer you these words of encouragement and comfort. I would withdraw to allow other personalities the use of this cherished circuitry in this hour. I leave you with my peace that I bring to the equation. Farewell.

* Elyon (Jonathan): This is Elyon once again. I have a few words to share. I have been prodding Jonathan with the word "pliable", and that is my focus. That you know the value of flexibility is evident in your continued search for expansion of your knowledge and sensitivity and grasp of truth. You have found that the attainment of the awareness that recognizes truth is done, not so much by the accumulation of truth items, but rather the enlargement of truth as a single entity, and to do so you, yourself, will of necessity be flexible, shape-able, that you may merge into truth, for truth is a participatory identification, not a means of categorization of a fact or knowledge.

I will use an analogy of your pasta spaghetti. Prior to it entering the pot it is firm, very rigid and brittle. But as it is warmed in the water to a boil it becomes soft and flexible and thereby useful to the consumer. This is the manner by which you absorb truth, through experience, and you go from rigidity to flexibility in spiritual function. When adversities come your way you can bend and move and adjust and reposition yourself. There is a temptation over the years of spiritual practice to grow complacent in your understanding, and, just as a spaghetti noodle out of water will harden and freeze in the position it was last set in, one can also fix in one's spiritual attitude. But trust that that same noodle re-wetted will become flexible again.

So I encourage you likewise to always look for truth as a moving, dynamic experience. Yes, it will incorporate knowledge and understanding, some degree of comprehension, but it will largely entail your engagement, your identification as truth. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life". When he said that no man comes to the Father but by him, ask yourself; therefore you must become truth, you must become the way and the life. I will also step back to allow others, as I am aware there is some sauce for these noodles!

* Machiventa (Mark): Machiventa Melchizedek here to add further to these images that are held in the mind. There is talk of the changing nature of things, of the noodle becoming soft and therefore its very nature changing as a result of its contact with experience.

Likewise do we witness your very natures changing as a result of your encounter with experience. You each one have changed before our very eyes in this process we have been involved in, and you have become lighter beings; you have become brighter beings; you have become changed in nature. You have become more buoyant in this process, and as was mentioned the cork that floats is so specific in nature that it does not sink but rather floats. As an aspect of its composition it has buoyancy, and its very nature is one that provides this buoyancy and causes it to ride on the surface of the water.

Likewise you each have become buoyant spiritual beings; you rise and ride on the currents that transpire around you, and this is a result of your evolution of nature. You have transformed your beings from those who were stiff and rigid in the beginning, without the experience to soften you, to those that have been through the experiential process and have been softened and know of the contrast. Likewise have you become light beings, and the light that emanates from each one of you disperses darkness, transforms darkness that is around you. So you are changed beings. You are lighter, brighter, more buoyant, more flexible, more teachable in this process, and this is as a direct result of your efforts to date.

Your choices have brought you these new circumstances. Your actions have brought you the experiential bath that has transformed you from one state of being into another. This is all as it was designed by the First Source and Center to transform your very natures, your very compositions, by virtue of these experiences that wash over you and have the potential to interact with you in this way, each one bringing you new potentials for characteristics, for greater awareness, deeper understanding. So it is that you change day by day, even hour by hour at times. I just could not resist the opportunity to throw my observations into this ever swirling, ever changing melting pot of truth. I will as well withdraw to allow this forum for others. Thank you.

* Michael (Jonathan): Greetings, beloved children. I am Michael. As I have reached out to you so have you reached out toward me, and we are one in our love. Having our partnership is the delight of our Father, and when each one of you embraces me, I am cognizant of that threefold embrace which includes the heavenly Parent. When you sit in stillness it is like putting the lid on the heating pan of water that it may more quickly come to boil; it is a way of containing the heat that you may become more charged spiritually. But you know likewise that I encourage you to go forth and proclaim the gospel, to mingle among your fellows, to minister as you pass by. This is the lifting of the lid that you may not boil over but that you may effectively share your experiences. You have chosen to follow me as I have asked you. You can trust that I will be as your chef, to stir at the appropriate times that you may be benefitted in your growth and in your outreach. To carry the metaphor of your teachers today, I will leave by assuring you that, as chef, I will not leave the kitchen unattended.

* Light (Mark): I greet you as well, I am Light and I accept this opportunity to bring the final piece to this metaphor of the day. I would bring the sauce. As you well know, the noodles having been prepared by the chef, are as a blank slate or an empty canvas. They can be used in a multitude of directions, and that is the beauty of the opportunities before you, each one, as noodles that are prepared and ready to accept a given direction. Perhaps it is a flavor of earthy green pesto. Perhaps it is one of red delicious vine ripe fruit.

Perhaps it is simply buttered, or there may be a thousand variations one could use with noodles as the base, as the canvas on which to create. So it is that each one of you is this canvas to be used in this spectacular creation. You will choose what is your flavor of the day. Which direction do you choose to manifest in this hour? What are the spices that you will bring into your equation to send you in one direction or another? How will you choose to combine the unlimited choices before you to prepare the dish of the moment?

You are the dish of the moment, lovingly cared and prepared, but it is your final choice whether you manifest one avenue of expression or another. You can do anything that you like, being the noodles in readiness. So what will you choose this day, this hour? What flavor will you bring to the others? What experiences will you combine to bring this flavor to the table? These are the sauces that we speak of, the flavors that you may add to your palettes. It is a privilege to be included in this gathering, as I have been invited here by the thought, and so it is I respond. Thank you for creating this avenue whereby we may all respond in this way. It is my distinct privilege and honor to address you in this hour and as well to bring this meeting to a close. I have been chosen to act as messenger, and I have fulfilled my obligation as such. Now I leave you with fond regards from all of us and say farewell.

Teachers: Unidentified, Lantarnek, Elyon, Michael.

December 2, 2007

* unidentified (Kathy TR): Begin to take action together, even if it is opening your mind to the idea of working together with separate projects; coordination of your efforts will lead to new ideas and expanded opportunities for interaction with those around you. Your sphere of action will increase as you have the intention to expand your activities. Help is always available to you when you consciously give permission for action. You can step outside your current area of comfort knowing that support will be there when needed.

* Lantarnek (Jonathan): This is Lantarnek, I greet you. You have phrases such as being "washed in spirit", and you have a tradition of baptism that has grown up around such an experience. The presence of Michael is continuous, and it flows in his Spirit of Truth just as a river is ever-present and constantly moving. When you seek that submergence you are often like a low-lying branch on the bank of a river when, as spirit undulates, it grabs your leaf and pulls you in and you are wetted by the presence. But your terrestrial nature is like the tension in the branch which springs you back out of the water. You are refreshed but soon seek moisture again. So as you mature in your spiritual standing you learn that these occasional bathings by spirit need not be haphazard, to your perspective.

It need not rely on the downreach of spirit into you, but you may set the conditions for the experience to occur, and you learn to willingly dip in the river for refreshment. This dipping is going to the Father, and the effect received is often provided by the many ministering spirits that are stationed on your world and throughout the universe. Soon within you grows the desire to be of effective service to one's fellows. It is the balance of being in the presence of God. Today you have asked about coordination and harmony among one another, and I would extend my visualization of the river by adding to it a waterwheel. Each one of you is a bucket on that wheel. Individually you each take a dip and are filled with spirit and the energy, the flow, of spirit moves you along.

As you rise from that river another takes a dip and around turns the wheel. In your personal life you are engaged in that circular travel. At the hub however is the axle that transmutes that energy from your individual spiritual contacts into a collective force to be used in numerous ways by the administration running your world, in the celestial sense. So, much of your effort in seeking God and becoming like Him is gathered with others' to create developments around your world which you are unaware of but much a participant in. But the human soul longs to feel integrated and abreast of these activities.

The mind is curious and wants to know how it is effective and helpful to spirit. Now add to this waterwheel a trough. As you rise from your stillness, your communion with spirit, you spilled your water, not back into the stream, but into this trough and off it flows. This is the tangible ministry you observe in your own life as you help the little child, as you hold a class, as you manufacture a product with the best of your abilities. So you are reminded each time that you do have a personal direct effect in ministry as well as a collective synergistic force. I remind you that it is stillness that fills you up and allows the power to be applied. I have spoken of the experience of stillness and also of service, but you are aware of the triangle: stillness, study, and service. That axle of the wheel does work whether it grinds grain, generates electricity for light.

Your curiosity in things spiritual has led you to research the nature of reality, to develop a greater sense in the discernment of truth and the concomitant sense of the accuracy of your discernment. You have enlarged your cosmic perspective and have added to it great detail of the workings of the universe, and you have been much benefitted by your text of the Urantia Papers, for therein is described how these forces that you have contributed by way of your collective spiritual engagement are put to use even beyond your own applications to the greater harmonious interweaving of activities, for in our analogy today, a powerhouse set on the banks of a river is part of a larger farm. There are activities supported by the presence of that powerhouse that are remote in some sense, just as those who are ascending Havona today feel remote from your activities on Urantia. You have been taught in the past that stillness is also a form of service, and today I hope that this illustration clarifies how stillness can be of service.

* Elyon: Greetings to you, this is Elyon. I find our Melchizedek friend to be masterful in his translation of morontia perspective into material form and imagery. You know that I am often attempting to do likewise, for I find that the human mind grasps abstract notions more clearly with concrete image. But you know that, while it is helpful to outline a deeper perspective, all visualizations have their shortcomings, for the finite aspect of the imagery will disallow a greater grasp by its nature and that the story must end for the attention of the listener to be able to wrap it up into something meaningful.

But the morontia perspective could tell the story endlessly and enlarge the perspective until you are overwhelmed. So the visual process falls short. But we use such parable-like contexts to stimulate your creative thinking and in so doing create the stage wherein you may continue to tell the story and to amplify the additional meaningful relationships unsaid by your teachers, even to translate them into your own living contexts and make them your continuing personal story. Jesus taught not to put new wine into old wineskins. In that expression was conveyed the truth about an enlarged universe understanding that cannot be contained within an older framework of religious description of that universe understanding, that the wineskins must be refreshed as well to contain that truth. This is the rightful understanding of that metaphor. In no way does that mean that you cannot refill a wineskin with new wine; in the physical sense you may still be able to. So, all that we present to you in imagery and allegory is likewise to be regarded.

In the passing moments of your daily life you are offered opportunities to assist others in enlarging their perspectives to incorporate greater spirit contexts and to give their working world activities a loftier perspective, one integrated with spirit. Few are the opportunities to quote from a scripture or to lay out a philosophic, logical process, but you can derive from the moment a translatable human experience and extract the spiritual profundity that is contained within it if you are alert and mindful and creative. These will be often quite short, the shorter often the better, for the receivers can then supplement as they are moved by spirit presence within them. You don't know all of the psychological aspects that play upon the mind of another, but spirit within does. So you seed and spirit will then cultivate.

* Michael: I am Michael, I embrace you all. It is the love we share that is most special, and it is the focal point, the access of all the other elements of our relationship. The teachers with you today have spoken of coming to me to the river to drink. I am the water of life. But there are times when you are feeling weakened by way of a sense of unworthiness, perhaps you are ashamed of behavior and you shy away from me. But I will come to you as the dew in the morning rests upon all things, for never do I condemn you. You are simply my human children, and you do things as you do by your very nature and in that you grow. So, as I moisten you with my spirit presence take me in. Be refreshed. Displace that parchedness and grow vigorously.

You know that the afternoon of a day is drier; that is the time when the moisture of my presence within you is put to use to sustain you. Then, as you are wearied by such work, I come again in your meditative evening to bring you more refreshment for the work of the following day. But to change again to the river, when you are in the heat of your day, when the trials are upon you and the vicissitudes seem strong, head to the river for a drink and take me in in your way. Take me in when you need me. I will always come to you, but I ask you to remember to come to me. You know of the property, the principle, of gravity. You walk about your life aware that if you leave an item in the air without support it will fall. But as you stand you feel stability, but you are actually falling, only there is a support structure that gives you a sense of static placement. My presence is always about you.

When you are stable in my presence you can stand strong. It is when you are weakened that you feel like you are falling. I tell you, you are not falling away; I am drawing you toward me that you and I may touch and be stabilized in our relationship and that you may stand and move about freely in your life with my strength.

You have much presented to you today. I blanket you with my love. I ask you to give that love wherever and whenever you can. Offer it even if it be rejected, for I am within others as well, and I can assist them in opening to receptivity to take in that love from without and thereby recognize it is within them already. Be a blessing. Farewell.

December 9, 2007

* Michael (Mark TR): Greetings, I am Michael accepting the door that you have opened in your awareness that I have you in my awareness. I always cherish the moments when you reflect upon me and my presence in your lives and my desires to be close to you, for it is ever so that it is my desire to be close to you, my dear ones.

You will discover as you have already experienced that I will use any and every means available to me to approach you and to make your approach to me conducive to your efforts and your experience. It really is not nearly as hard as it may be thought, but I understand there is some space to be covered in the realization that this is so, and therefore I do have ultimate patience in this process for you to traverse whatever space intervenes between us so that you may, not only approach me in your own way, but that you may the more easily follow me as your avenues of approach are made more real in your lives. It is ever true that I am there in observation at least and in participation as you will allow during your life experiences. If you could equate my presence to a material manifestation it would feel to you as though you had someone shadowing you as you go through your days, following you around, looking over your shoulder to see what was in your field of interest, and awaiting your glance that I might be included in your experience as well.

This will be so between us as you grow in your awareness and traverse the space that might exist between that time and where you find yourselves in any given moment. I perceive that you will maintain your efforts at making this connection, and I pledge to you that I will keep making my efforts as well, and we will together create this enhanced relationship. It will be so. It represents my desire and yours as well.

This phenomenon of space which you refer to as time in this example is part of what provides us the opportunities to grow and become that which we desire. Therefore, although it may be difficult for you to understand, these are cherished times as well, the times of seeking, the motivation of searching, even the doubting and uncertainty are treasured experiences to be embraced as part of what it is to live a material existence in this dimension of time and space. So the very things that you feel that you struggle with are the very things that are designed to provide you with the necessary experiences to get you to where you would like to be. Therefore if you could see all this as getting you to where you would like to be, you might be able to release the idea that you are struggling to get there, for you are not struggling; you are experiencing, and you are in fact getting there in the process.

So be at peace with the process and with your position within the process. Experience to the fullest the contact provided you in this experience of your time/space experience. And know always that I am with you in this process. I will be with you in this process, and together we may grow in our accumulated experience of this once-in-a- universal-career opportunity. I am assured of your ultimate success and, if it were possible, I would grant you this assurance as well. But you must grow to this awareness, and there is purpose in this growth. My peace I always bring and I would leave it with you, each one, that you may have it and share it and even become it in your lives. I make room for others in this forum, but I never leave you; I only say farewell in words.

* Daniel (Jonathan): Hello, I am teacher Daniel. I am visiting you. It has been a stretch of time, though I perceive it to be but a blink of an eye since my last visit. I am happy to be aligned in this service with your familiar teachers and am delighted to have witnessed your growth over these years.

You have learned as a human being to recognize things tangible to negotiate your life with the continually expanding understanding of how situations and objects about you will assist or hinder you in accomplishing your goals. In the course of experience you have accumulated a greater sense of discernment, and in the application of that you are fine tuning your ability to discriminate, to acquire clarity, and to function thusly more efficiently. Each episode that transpires you have furthered your skill in reacting and responding according to the reality of the situation.

Now, you have also undertaken many years in learning to discern what is, to the material mind, the intangible, and it has been through your interface with those like myself that you have increased your skills in perception, reaction, and application. Now you have come to rely upon not only the knowledge of but the factual reality of the presence of spirit, be it spirit divine or spirit brotherly.

It is with this added dimension that you are finding the episodes of your life to have greater meaning and to infuse you with better approach. In so doing you save yourself misunderstandings and conflicts, not that these conflicts are to be avoided, but rather they are often conflicts you already experienced and no longer need to gain deeper lessons therefrom. You have newer conflicts from which to learn, and so it becomes wasteful to have to repeat them. By developing your alignment with the celestial guides and by learning from your experiences and entwining the two, you enlarge your power base for function. I keep my words brief with you today. I take my leave. Thank you.

* Light (Mark): Hello once again. I am Light and I am urged to approach the podium to facilitate the fostering of the relationship between us, those of you who have the basis of a relationship that can be fostered and grown with me. You have been given many tools and many associations that you may use in your processes of growth and navigating through your material opportunities, and I am here to nurture the relationship between us, as I represent to you another tool that can be used to aid in your process. This represents my function in having been created that I may serve as useful liaison between the mortal and the spiritual components.

I will ever remain faithful to my desire to be useful to any who will desire to include me as part of their network of assistants that may be even referred to in the mortal realm as your tools or your pathways to help in your process. This represents the purpose of the order of my being and of those who will follow me, that we interface with you in a unique way. Having been created with human characteristics and traits it is our distinct privilege to share a certain aspect of ourselves, to have a unique relationship because of this shared heritage. So it is that I am uniquely positioned to work with you in your spiritual pursuits, and it will be my delight to be requested to do so by any who desire my assistance.

I realize this represents another challenge of your abilities to expand and embrace yet more that is outside your realm of material awareness, but I see that you are up to the opportunity and eager to reach beyond your current boundaries of awareness. So it is that I make my presence known once again that we may visit and come to know each other so that we may be better friends and even may become allies as the opportunities of your lives bring you circumstances that may be challenging.

Once again it is my pleasure to mingle energies with you in this way, although I am easily intimidated by the presences that minister to you, as they also minister to me. But I follow their direction in faith, and I trust their guidance as you do. In this way we share another characteristic between us. I would continue to follow their guidance, and I trust you will continue to as well, and together we may grow into this process. As you know I am early in my spiritual career as you are early in yours. We have so very much in common that I am certain this is why we are together at this time. Feel free to call on me, and I will most certainly respond to your request to be with you, even to bring that which I possess to the equation of our relationship. Let it be so. Let there be lights and so it shall be. Thank you for your attention. I step down.

* Will (Jonathan): This is Will. The love of God does surround you, and wherever you are so is He. You know of the admonition that when you are tired of your mind you may exchange it for the mind of Christ. I will speak to that mind.

Recall that Jesus said that whatsoever you do to the least among you you do to him. His mind is an umbrella-mind which covers all. So when you are in need of that mind you may rise above yourself and reside in the altitude, the perspective, of Michael's view. Then it matters not whether you are helping or being helped but that help is occurring.

It matters little whether you are being treated fairly or treating fairly but that fairness occurs. So it is with love and peace and healing. It is the enlargement of your being in the submergence and embrace of the consciousness of Michael. The phrase "the mind of Christ" is the mind that is anointed, that is filled with spirit, that is expanded beyond the boundaries of individuality and embraces the whole family of creatures. It is overarching in perspective and thereby able to minister most effectively. I urge you to seek that mind during your encounters that are trying.

You will find that you function more effectively when you step above and beyond and you allow and even act as Michael and let him function while you function. Shalom.
