Topic: Arena of Will
Teacher: Elyon

November 28, 1999
*	Elyon (Jonathan TR):  Greetings.  Once again I join you and share in our
unity, our commonness as a universal family.  It is among friends that I visit. 
Though you are ever receptive to my communication and regard these lessons as
given from teacher to student, in reality, I share what I know to my equals. 
Though there be great distances of ascension experience between myself and the
level whereon I am learning and growing, we are essentially the same, for, to
look ahead in my career, the distance is great, and the distance between myself
and your level of growth becomes quite small.
	We all live not only in a universe of whirling planets and burning suns and
spinning galaxies, but we also live within an arena of will, of volition, the
power to create and direct.  Much across this great universe is at the mercy of
the forces that hold all matter and all energy together in a great dynamic, but
we who are personalities have been given a degree of latitude, and this is our
creative potential.  No one individual has any less of this potential; all have
the same grace-bestowed power to choose.  Even what you choose, you are free to
do.
	The Father of us all, the Creator of everything, certainly has what we
would call hope for our beneficial unfoldment and longs deeply for that
prefected
communion that each will find on the Isle of Paradise in the divine embrace.
But
there is no rulebook wherein you must have placed a checkmark in the right "yes"
or "no" column in order to get there, for the Father's plan is that you
co-create
this unfoldment, this evolutionary attainment, along with Him.  We are not about
this grand ascension merely to mimic the desires and actions of the Father or
even of His bestowal sons, the Creator Sons.  The Father has chosen to create
will creatures with the single purpose that in their unfoldment they become
fully
maximized of their potentials just as He has always and eternally been the
omnipresent, omnipotent, omniscient being He is.  But it falls back upon us
to be
purposeful in our lives, directed to choose consciously our course.
	It has been taught the value of surrender, in the context of your
religions, to submit to the desires of the Creator.  Though this teaching has
value, in reality it is the longing of God to be one with you in your experience
of life, for the Father Himself has already submitted to you, has already
surrendered to your directive actions.
	Michael, when he lived here on this world, lived his life ever alert to the
will of the Father and ever sensitive to when his hour would arrive for
appropriate action.  Yet you do note in your studies he spent much time mulling
over his course of action, his life project.  His waiting upon the will of the
Father was never a passive endeavor.  Always was he actively involved in
developing both the understanding of the Father's purposes in his own abilities
to reveal the Father as well as grasping the context of the culture and
civilization and the people he was involved with.  He became the hinge between
the creator and creature, and each of you are likewise a hinge between creature
and creator.  It all resides in the arena of will.  No door swings but that
purpose has directed it to do so.  Force is applied.  Choice is made.
	When you wait upon the will of the Father, you are acknowledging that the
Father is waiting upon your will, as well.  This is partnership, our growth.
The
question, "what is the will of the Father?" should no longer be a perplexing
question in this life.  Yes, one must place watch upon the selfish desires and
even maleficent intention.  But when we each acknowledge this partnership,
acknowledge the divine presence, we can be assured that the error or evil
tendency has been blocked.
	Let us picture our arena of will as like a corral and in it is a bucking
bronco and upon it is you.  Incessantly arise desire and longing; thoughts,
ideas, drives.  These keep you constantly attentive.  Any good rider of such a
bronco is not simply over-lording himself upon the creature but is skillfully
working alongside -- though in reality on top of -- this creature.  The
cooperative work is how the task is completed and thereby is how you can work in
harmony with your desires and your dreams, with your impulses and your
longings. 
They are not to be fought with but to be arranged.
	On Paradise the divine will acted and a universe of experience ensued. 
Within your bodies your will has acted, and a universe career of experience is
unfolding.  The Father has created you like Himself in pattern and in purpose. 
Each of us at our station of life may not feel as powerful, as all-knowing, and
as grace-filled, but we have replicated within us in our personality
construction
the very essence of the Divine Mover.  Each day there is an expectancy, an
excited expectancy, that your Creator has for you, observing -- even in a sense
wondering -- how the partnership will develop, what course will be taken, what
new potentials will unfold.
	Imagine yourself in the place of Deity.  In the eternal stretches and
infinite expanses all things potential and actual are known inside and out
thoroughly.  Perfection reigns supreme.  Now imagine the delight of the Divine
Parent as it witnesses and partakes in each one of our creature unfoldments.
The
discoveries of all our trials, tribulations, lessons, awakenings, our
errors, our
corrections, our longings, our regrets: these are the factors that deity is
longing to experience.  You are the means; you are the gift to the Father.  This
is why choice, free will, is so important.
	Thank you for listening to my presentation today.  I would receive
questions if you have them.  This is Elyon.
	Tom:  Earlier we discussed devotion, that it springs from willingness. 
Perhaps this forms a triangle with diligence and action, and endurance and
loyalty.
	Perhaps these triangles, as they exponentially increase, eventually
interconnect.  After the tree of triangles is three or four layers deep it goes
into a root structure which fills out the circle.  Could you comment?
*	Elyon:  Firstly, yes, there is a connection between willingness and
devotion.  I have attempted in my lesson today to provide further substance for
study.  Second, let me say that you know that God is love and that love is the
crown of our triangle tree.  The ground whereon this tree is growing is the
Supreme.  From the Father at the apex of love and in the context of truth and
goodness and beauty, it is discreetly clear the relationships of what has been
expressed to you in these triangles, but further down the tree, or rather
further
out into the potentials of the experience of creatures in the universe, it is
less distinct.  I would confirm for you that your observation is true.  It is in
this blurred or blending of all the possibilities that the new, creative
expressions emerge.
	The Father is absolute volition.  Where you have been taught that God is
love and these triads have sprung forth from that, we could invent an entirely
new tree of triangles from volition itself.  But that would be a lengthy
discourse today.  For that matter, it is possible to develop a universe
philosophy wherein love, will, and another element become itself a triad.
So, we
could compound these trees into a veritable forest.  This is the beauty of
creation, and it is the mystery of mind, that longing for understanding, that
search for comprehension, that ever drives us forward to discover and to attain,
to possess, this understanding, comprehension, this knowledge -- rather,
knowingness.
	Does this help you?
	Tom:  It certainly expands the possibilities.  Thank you.
	Kirk:  Thank you for putting in my mind that, when I am going through my
difficulties, I am going through it for God's experience.  Instead of, "God,
take
these difficulties away," maybe I can look at it as, "I'm experiencing for You."
*	Elyon:  You are welcome.  Yes, it does take the sting out of our
calamities, for, though I would be the last to condone plunging headlong into
error, error the Father knows nothing thereof.  Every corrective turn you
make in
your experiential adventure, your investigation of reality, reveals to a perfect
being a dimension of himself that is inaccessible to perfection.
	If I may draw a comparison to the revelation you have about Paradise, few
of any creatures know what is on the nether side of Paradise.  In some ways the
Father knows nothing of experience.  Just as many beings have stood upon the
Eternal Isle and wondered what takes place in the nether region of power and
energy, so do many creators wonder what takes place in a creature and wait and
work expectantly for the revelation to unfold through you.
	Remember, the master taught that we are a family, and the family works
together and contributes to one another.  This isn't a kingdom, as Jesus strove
to teach, where an overlord dictates what we can do and 
cannot do.  In a family there is love.  In a kingdom there may be order, but
that
element of love forever elevates the concept of the kingdom of God to the family
of a loving Father.
	  Evelyn:  Being Thanksgiving, I offer all you teachers a hearty "thank
you" for all your efforts and patience.
*	Elyon:  It is received and it is already passed among my associates.  Let
us go about our week joyfully and expectantly, not only on the lookout for what
will come to each of us in our experiences, but what will come from each of
us as
we experience.
	I will now take my leave.  Take care.
