*	The Mother Spirit  (Sheila TR):  Hello, dear ones, this is your Mother
Spirit speaking.  It gives me great pride to see mirrors put before you, and to
have you recognize yourselves, to begin to understand the fears in others.  This
is essential in being able to communicate clearly your Father's words, your
Father's feelings.  You have not been asked to be in partnership for the purpose
of arguing or making strong statements of dissatisfaction for another's part. 
While allowing yourself to be about the Father's business, you are essentially
giving the okay to be in partnership for love, compassion, and
understanding.  In
giving your will over to your Father, you are putting all else in a second,
third, fourth place priority.  When you are truly giving your will to the
Father,
there is no question as to what to say or do next for you will receive the
message and in return simply look adoringly at those you communicate with and
reveal the message that you are receiving.
	There has been too much time allotted for displeasing conversation; there
has been too much time allotted for anger; too much time has been spent on
disagreeing.  Your visit here is so very short.  I will encourage you to spend
the rest of your visit here participating in what was intended all along, to
live
and speak the message of love, to live to the best of your ability in a state of
consciousness that reflects your willingness to do the Father's will.
	I pour upon you today great love.  Receive this; use it as your source
today for spreading that which is truly worthy of yourselves and of your visit,
of your mission, of what you are here to do.  Thank you for your time and your
consciousness and your love.
*	Elyon (Jonathan):  Greetings, friends, this is your good friend and pal
Elyon.  I have a few words to share, naturally.  First let me say that the
enthusiasm with which you approach your first phase of these weekly meetings has
your personal teachers stacked full with activities to plan for your continued
growth in the days ahead.  Every effort you make with this enthusiasm signals
willingness to be receptive to increased opportunities to grow.  Ultimately the
growth lies in your selecting and accepting these opportunities.
	We have addressed you in the past few weeks concerning your desire to
undertake a project of an outreach nature.  You have received from us advice
regarding the critical and important point and motive to be expressed.  I,
today,
would like to focus your minds upon a method which I know is obvious to each of
you, but we will take a look at it in this context.
	The Father is ever searching for the means whereby He may extend Himself
into the affairs of His children.  Our emphasis upon stillness is a direction we
take because it cultivates within you the experience of contact with the
Father. 
This assurance emboldens you to be expressive of that joy, of that relationship,
of that communion and love.  The Father works as diligently and unceasingly with
anyone that you lay your eyes upon, ever seeking to be drawing that personality
toward Himself and ever hopeful that His child will turn around and re-express
the truth and the reality of that Fatherly embrace.  As you address anyone in
your midst, remember to speak directly to the Father within them, for there you
have a partner.
	When the mind is agitated through differences in expressing and
understanding, release the tendency to rest upon the level of mind and argument,
logic, and concept.  Cultivate that spiritual sensitivity of partnership, of
teamwork.  Faith-grasp in your personality that the true goal of the exchange is
to better comprehend the Father, His nature, and life in its goodness.  In a
sense you can picture your minds like a bubble bath, full of suds.  The mind can
be continually agitated and generate mountains of foam, but when you speak
to the
spirit in another, you reach to the plug at the bottom and clear away what
clouds
the issues to reveal the depths of the soul.  In any social situation, keeping
this technique in mind, you will spare yourselves the time and effort of
conflict
which ultimately does not resolve the issue, and, as you know from your
growth to
this date, that all of your mental constructs will undergo great change between
here and the shores of Paradise.  No one saves their bath water.  However, the
tub itself is of lasting value; this is the important motivation to hold in your
hearts.
	You have been called to service; great trust is being placed upon you.  We
do not intend to insnare you with fear regarding this responsibility.  We strive
to continually express to you that you are embraced with love, that you are
to be
emboldened with faith.
	Michael asks you to represent him in this world as he represented the
Father.  The Father seeks to be represented through everyone.  Every one of His
children you look upon has that deep within their being, whether they are
conscious or not.  Hold that continually in your mind's eye, and  you will
experience great success in ministering to hungry souls.
	I have finished sharing.  I will receive your questions if you desire to
express them.
	Ginnie:  Thank you for the reminder that when we speak to another we are
speaking to our Father.  That's very potent.
*	Elyon:  It is a valuable perspective, for the other individual cannot
remain a contestant when you know the same coach is on both teams.  You then
work
with rather than upon your fellows.  
	Ginnie:  Do you have any insight on our discussion about the quote from the
UB, comparing our transmissions with the trance-like states, visionary
experiences not being religious experiences?
*	Elyon:  First I would address the topic of religious experience.
	Religious experience -- more appropriately, spiritual experience -- in the
individual is far broader than any given undertaking or activity.  We hope that
every moment of your life is a spiritual experience balanced by continual
comprehension of reality and practical application to life.  Trance-like and
visionary experiences that you speak of historically have cultivated isolation
from life and the development of a religious form of reality that has no
application to your worldly reality.  What is being taught to you in this
passage
is the danger of becoming isolated, of relying solely on a single experience to
feed or validate your hunger for truth.
	You know me as one who uses analogies and metaphors for visual aid in my
teaching.  If you were truly visionary people, I would have a field day
expressing myself to you!  But these encounters we have together are, at the
foundational level, experiences of faith.  We rely upon your thinking and
feeling.  We rely on your active engagement.  A trance is a passive mind.  I
would find no pleasure in speaking to an empty room; I desire that you be
alert. 
We are here today simply communicating.  This is not truly a spiritual
experience, though it can be considered a social interchange in a religious
format, for you all share a common ideology.  What your quoted passage points to
is the single religionist in his pursuit of truth.	Worship is the broader
context in which this form of communion is erroneously sought.  The development
of monasticism on this world is the result of overmuch concern for this internal
experience without the balance of service, of commonplace exchange with your
fellows.  Therein is the trouble of such an undertaking.
	I hope this has been helpful.
	Ginnie:  Yes, it has, thank you.
	Evelyn:  I have a curiosity question.  Why are the Brilliant Evening Stars
and the Bright and Morning Star referred to as bright stars?  Everyone else is
given names that are otherwise meaningless to us like vorondadek.  Melchizedek
has historic association that we already have.  But a star?  And why those two
groups?
*	Elyon:  As the records have evolved on this world dealing with Michael,
Gabriel, the archangels, and Emanuel, oftentimes there has been confusion as to
who is who; even the Ancients of Days are confused in this cosmology with the
Father.  Your records indicate that Michael is the Bright and Morning Star.  He
might more appropriately be called the Blinding Bright and Morning Star!  In our
efforts to clarify your cosmology we have chosen to address the position of the
first born in our local universe as the Bright and Morning Star, the first to
rise.  Gabriel was first to rise.  You have also received clarification that
Jesus is not Emanuel, as your historical records indicate.
	Brilliant Evening Stars are an order of being who have been created
following many activities in Nebadon preparatory to the evolution of creatures
like yourselves.  They are servants for high orders of sonship.  They are,
if you
will, those who are last.  They exemplify that principle that the first will be
last and the last will be first.  This is their orientation, to serve, to go
unrecognized, to provide for their higher associates aid in outworking their
plans.
	From your perspective on a world in space, a morning star precedes the day;
an evening star follows the day.  In reality both have been there all along. 
These terms offer a poetic element to what we can call the day of Nebadon, the
day that begins with Gabriel and eventually will culminate in Light and
Life, the
desire and goal of the Evening Stars.
	Is this helpful?
	Evelyn:  Yes, thank you.
	Tom:  I have a question for Jessona.  The other day I met with a child with
obvious birth defects.  As I held his hands, I wondered what else I might have
done to right that situation.  Do you have any other comments?
*	Jessona:  This is Jessona.  I will briefly comment with this TR and desire
others to be a speaker for me.  My short comment here is to assure you that
evolutionary worlds are fraught with such occurrences as defects due to manifold
reasons.  On a world like ours we are left with the default of the violet
race at
improving your genetics.  You are powerless individually to right what
appears to
be a wrong.  Our entire staff of master seraphim are busy helping to improve the
situation here.  Your best focus is upon the soul of this individual, which has
no defects whatsoever, for it is the construction of the Father as He complies
with the will of that personality.
	Assure yourself and even this individual that any object that comes in a
package may come with a mar or a scar or a break in that package, but the item
itself is as valuable as if the packaging were perfect. 
	Now I seek another. 
	(Ginnie TR):  In your material world, as is understandable, you have the
tendency to place a judgment on the way things or people look.  It is
understandable in your world of senses; it is something that sometimes
interferes
with your understanding of true compassion and true love.  As has been stated
already the soul of this child is perfect.  Physical deformities, although they
may seem unpleasant and uncomfortable to us, are not an indication of this
person's status in any way.  You must look beyond physical matter, as we are
training you to do, to the more important aspect of the human being.  Certainly
this child is beloved in the sight of our Father; it is most preciously loved. 
The sorrow, the discomfort, is in your perceptions, and it is understandable. 
But on an evolutionary world we need to accept physical deformities and
imperfections as part of the evolutionary development, but, as concerns matter,
it has no import on the soul of an individual.
	You, on the other hand, you have grown in your desire to want to see this
child in a more functioning body.  It is you who are in need of the compassion. 
It is you who benefited from this child's presence.  It was a gift given to you.
	I have finished.
*	Lester (Jonathan):  I greet you, moisture laden, hairy people, this is
Lester.  I only wish to express to you how wonderful it is to be animals and,
like a well worn shoe, a broken in pair of blue jeans, or a well used ball
glove,
one day you will be without these physical forms, and you will look upon them
with the same nostalgia.  So, do enjoy your toenails, enjoy those freckles,
enjoy
all those elements you will, for eternity, never have again.  I take my
leave.
