Elyon and Jessona 5/11/97

*       Elyon (Jonathan TR):  Greetings friends, this is Elyon.  As
always I present myself to you, not only as a friend, but as a
servant for Michael in promoting his message to this world
through your efforts.  We are a team. 
        Love is an intention.  Love is an attention.  It is both. 
You know how disturbed you can feel when you do not attend to
your intentions; you miss an opportunity wherein your better
expressions could have been made.  You know the Father holds no
grievance towards you when you miss applying your intentions,
for, from His perspective, your intentions are the indicator of
your potentials in the long Paradise ascent that will be fully
actualized at His residential headquarters.  I, on the other
hand, am directed toward your attention.  I am here to witness to
you the effects of attentive love.  We experience our love
together; you pause to focus upon myself or my working associates
and when we do likewise with you.  Yes, it is true that we love
one another even when we are not functioning together.  But this
form of love is a love of acknowledging a condition, personality
inclinations toward one another.  But when you are dynamically
attentive to myself, and I with you, we are experiencing real
love, action love.  Every form of service, of ministry, be it
teaching, healing, helping those less fortunate, those in need,
offering opportunities for education, the simple things such as
giving, these are the attentive expressions of love.   They are
you actively addressing your deeper intentions.  These deep in-
tentions are directly connected to your relationship to the
Father, your faith in truth, and your ideals of higher living,
not only for your world but for all individuals be they realized
on this world or in life cycles to follow.
        Love is all pervasive.  No doubt you have heard this phrase
before.  It pervades not only all around you in many forms, but
it is pervasive in an inward and outward direction.  Inwardly,
love inspires your intentions, your ideals, your pursuits, your
plans to pursue.  Next is outward, the attentive form where you
begin to focus and consciously direct your deeper sense of love,
to compose your methods of expression to put personality direc-
tive behind your deeper sense, and when this is expressed, you
have the full revelation of love from within to your outer
environment.  
        You are very fond of the phrase, "Love is the desire to do
good to others."  I would point out that the desire is your
intention.  Doing good is the attentive aspect, and the result is
love for another and love experienced by another.  I speak of
love and make effort to bring to you a sense of the experience of
love that non-physical beings encounter.  Love has taken on many
meanings in your life, and you are better off discerning the lev-
els at which you apply the sensitivity that you call love.  I
would assure you that, as you become a morontia citizen, you will
discover an even broader band of love spectrum.  In the end, in a
fundamental way, love is first your internal experience of the
Father.  Following this experience the spectrum is displayed and
takes on its colorations through your intentions and your
attentions, your attending as well, what you do with what you
have experienced.  
        I have finished my comments this morning.  As I do enjoy it,
I welcome your feedback.  
        Evelyn:  That was very balanced between what we desire to do
and what we actually manifest, which is where our conversation
started this morning.  Thanks for pointing out that in God's eyes
intention counts.  
        Tom:  Jessona, do you have any comments?
*       Elyon:  Before I allow my friend Jessona to step up to the
mike, I would make a comment to Evelyn that the Father is always
content with your intentions, for His patience is eternal as you
learn the ways to express yourself.  This is where the
responsibilities and duties of the son of God come in.   He, the
one who went about doing good, is directed toward action.  He is
the universe creator and is most keenly focused towards
expression of love, the mercy ministry.  So, you can be certain
that the Father never changes in His affection toward you whether
you have succeeded or failed in your efforts to express love. 
But you can be likewise assured of Michael's presence and efforts
to minister to you during those successful and failure
experiences of love.  
*       Jessona:  This is Jessona; I am here.  I have enjoyed your
prompting of my comments lately.  
        All beings relish the opportunity to be selected and
assigned to projects of importance throughout the universe.  One
assignment we all have is to grasp ever deeply the Father and the
son and the spirit and their working throughout this marvelous
creation.  Along with this is a nearly infinite range of
activities which provide a variety not only all around us through
the variable lifestyles everyone has, but also throughout your
own life variety becomes a refreshing amplifier for enthusiasm. 
So I am intensely dedicated and enthusiastically present for my
assignment on this world, for as I increasingly expand my
experience of Supremacy, I also have the great opportunity to
influence the many souls and angels about me.  
        I, today, encourage you to perceive your life in this
manner, to be ever alert, not only to your own ascending needs,
but to the opportunities to present the Father in His ministry to
others.  I perceive it is very far from your minds any sense of
personality grandiosity when you understand that you are a
valuable component in the administration of spiritual upliftment
on this world.  As I witness you are fortunately humble in this
regard, I take the opportunity to drive home to you how important
it is to be aware that you are enlisted with many - millions - in
this administrative capacity.  What does that lead one human
being to do?  You know the message is simple.  The greatest
effort you can make toward uplifting this planet is the incessant
repetition of the essential gospel and the continual manifes-
tation in your life of every angle of understanding that you
have.  This demonstration fills in for the spoken message.  To
speak the truths of the kingdom is much like drawing an outline
picture.  To live it, to demonstrate it, is to provide the colors
and details that turn the line drawing into a painting. 
Ministering to another through the teaching that you may do the
Father's will provides outline.  Your living and applying this
doing of the Father's will in your life greatly describes the
truth, for your actions are louder than a thousand words in
conveying to another the import.  But many do not recognize
through actions what you are intending to express.  Here is where
words are important.  Indeed, the master went about doing good. 
However, he was very expressive verbally to many people.  Your
actions will demonstrate what you are doing; your words will
express why you are doing them.  
        I trust I have given you much to think about.  
*       Elyon:  Elyon returning.  I will close our encounter by
encouraging you to work on the activation of your intentions in
expressing love.  Take note of your successful expressions and
equally of your successful procrastinations.  Do not weigh them
in the judgement balance; this is why I used "successful" with
procrastinating.  Merely recognize them.  When you reflect on the
value you have placed upon the intentions you hold deep within
you that are linked directly to truth and goodness and beauty,
which is the Father's love manifest in this universe, you will
easily lean in the future toward your successful expressions.  
        We are happy to have made this contact today.  I will close
by saying we do love you.

1 Cor. 13:4-6
Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; 
it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not
irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the
right.
