*	Elyon (Mark TR):  Once again I am happy to be made welcome among you; this
is your friend and spirit guide Elyon.  I would join you today with some
observations about considerations within your group.
	These truly are exciting times in which a lesson can be delivered by a
fellow associate many miles away, and within days, even hours, this lesson is
broadcast to you within your own homes for your consideration.  This is truly a
state of high achievement and must be accessed with the proper intentions and
motivations.  It is thrilling to see the lessons being rippled through the
community and being effective to many others than those who were present at the
time of its delivery.  The same is true here now in this group.  The work we do
together here today has many ramifications outside this immediate reality, of
which you are unaware, but trust me when I say that the effort put forth to
record, transcribe, and then distribute these messages has a great positive
effect on the stream of consciousness of all those who come in contact with it. 
This is an important side effect of the meetings you hold so regularly.
	While each and every one of you may personally experience transformation
and growth, you also provide the field wherein others may likewise receive
benefit from the lessons.  Indeed, from someone in your perspective it must
appear as though your mechanical circuits are wide open and all that is
remaining
is for the spiritual circuits to be sharpened.  And this is in large part true. 
Your world has reached an era when information can be disseminated rapidly.  Now
in this life, in this time, the quality of spiritual information will radically
increase, and this is what this mass information age needs the most, an isle of
stability, a sense of purpose.  These are what spiritual truths provide.  It is
all very well and good to spread physical information back and forth as pertains
to your world and how it works, but it is extremely valid to offer to those not
immediately accessible the teachings you all are taking for granted.
	I would recognize and encourage the thought pattern thread of enhancing
your capacities as has been discussed in the past few weeks.  It is a training
process in which you must commit to receive the benefits, and most of you are
tasting many benefits as a result of your commitment.  These are the gifts in
your life that come your way and are also as a result of your faith and your
commitment to your spiritual growth.  Because this arena that we gather in
is now
a public arena, we strive to deliver messages that can accommodate many more
than
are present in this room at any one time.  However, we look to you for
inspiration and guidance about topics of interest and patterns to pursue.  This
also is helpful to your brothers and sisters outside these immediate
surroundings, because many of them as well are encountering similar
situations in
their lives. Therefore, your discussions before the taped sessions may in
fact be
your individual and private sessions with each other, may be the format not
exposed to the masses in which you may explore in depth personal issues.  Then,
as the scheduled meeting proceeds, we often pick up on your subjects as well as
deliver lessons on topics of significance to many others as well.
	With this in mind I would offer to open the floor to other personalities
present or to field discussions on questions of any kind.
	Jada:  Is it coincidence that this planet is at a stage of mass
communication at the same time as the circuits are opening?  Are you making use
of that as a part of the overall plan?
*	Elyon:  If by coincidence you mean that the one aspect is totally unrelated
to the other, then no.  They are indeed related.  Mankind has grown in the past
years since Michael walked on this world, and the time is right to inject more
spiritual material into the mainstream to redirect popular thinking, so the two
are definitely related to each other.
	Jonathan:  We all resonate to the truth of enhancing capacity; we realize a
certain amount of effort is required to expand.  You have to confront your fears
or uncertainties about territories to explore or skills you still have to
attain. 
Spirituality often has tagged onto it peace of mind, that you have eternal
rest. 
How do we take pleasure in the unrest and find satisfaction in the uncertainties
of expanding ourselves?  Adventure is as much of a thrill as the sense of
attainment.  I'd like to hear more on how we might avoid procrastination in
pushing our boundaries.
*	Elyon:  I would opt to direct this to each of you personally in that even
now, this very minute in your life, you exhibit a degree of commitment to this
group process to the Teaching Mission as a whole.  Each of you consciously makes
this decision and then consciously follows up this decision with your action,
with your life, this very moment.  Each of you, in turn, when this process is
over feels a certain reward for having endured sitting still for this long.  I
realize that even this is asking something of you that is, at times, straining. 
We appreciate your commitment, and I think you each appreciate your commitment
when it is all said and done, and you are left with the reward of the feeling of
having been to this meeting and having received something in return
spiritually. 
I would ask that each of you, when confronted with a crossroads of increased
commitment and questions of the cost to you, reflect on the rewards you receive
each week by this commitment and realize that the greater the commitment, the
greater the rewards.  You all have a feeling of this within you, a
recognition of
this reality.  So, when the situation arises, think back to your success
here and
now in these times, and it will provide you with the strength to not be
wishy-washy, to commit yourself to whatever the process is to be about your
spiritual business.
	Does this help?
	Jonathan:  You are saying that commitment will take us through our
difficult endurances as well as take us to our goals.  It reminds me of,
"decisions, decisions, and more decisions".  
*	Elyon:  It is also a series of decisions, rewards, future decisions, future
rewards.  Realize that the cost to you is always offset by the benefits you
derive as a result of your commitments.  There will come a time in your
ascension
when you directly correlate these rewards with the cost, and you will overshadow
any cost by the appeal of the reward to be gained.  As you become familiar with
the certainty of this reward, you will look for opportunities to pay the cost.
	Jael:  Putting what you have said together with what Ham said about staying
in the "now time", it's full of potential to expand our consciousness Godward.
*	Elyon:  That, in a nutshell, could be said about your entire existence.  It
is full of possibilities and potentials simply waiting to be actualized, waiting
to be realized by you as the fruits of your efforts. 
	Jonathan:  That "now time" perspective would contribute to enlarging our
capacity in that we know that the past is done and the future has not yet
appeared.  So, where is the potential for anything to unfold?  Right here and
now.  That enlarges our capacity by dropping previous patterns and
expectations.  
*	Elyon:  And the consideration at hand is the challenge to simply not be
preoccupied, to not have your residence in another place so that you miss the
here and the now, to not be preoccupied with events passed or potential events
pending so that you fail to access the potentials present in the moment,
because,
as you so well stated, those are the ones which can constitute change and growth
instantly.  What's past is past and what is present [sic] may never even occur. 
So, to miss an opportunity because of preoccupation with either of these other
conditions means the waste of a very good opportunity.
*	Jansel (Jonathan):  This is Jansel, and I greet you warmly.  I am enjoying
this opportunity to make this contact.  I have a few words that I hope to help
you regarding capacity and that is along the lines of community and fellowship,
or in a shorter, simpler word, sharing.
	To encounter limitation brings an individual to a point where something
must be done, yet equally the ability to do so is not present.  The nature
of the
Supreme is to overlay experience with others' experiences such that every
individual is enriched by the experiences of others.  You can overcome hurdles
and obstacles simply by taking in the fellowship of another, receiving their
services, commingling your talents to step above any one particular shortcoming.
	The realization that you are a child of the Father is a spiritual
experience.  The realization that you are part of the family of God is a Supreme
experience.  The Supreme seeks total enlargement of capacity to the extremes of
finite possibility.  Each of us is undergoing a microcosmic -- I would say
imitation -- but you are a significant contribution of this Supreme process. 
This is exemplified in your weekly sharing as you trade experiences of your
week. 
Oftentimes you have encountered an event in the week before your meeting
that did
not seem to have spiritual implications until you do attend your meeting, and in
sharing with one another the significance is revealed.  What appears to be an
unrelated experience of a fellow ends up enlarging your understanding of the
experience you underwent in the days prior.
	I would conclude my remarks by saying that, when you find that you have
reached your limit of your ability to do it yourself, remember that in the
universe scheme we can do it ourselves.  Take one another into your confidence,
and take one another into your tasks.  Be equally willing to perceive and pursue
the needs that others have about them.  Often times your fellows may not engage
you in assistance because they have not yet come to the point of realizing that
assistance is the answer to their complications.
	I thank you for hearing from me today.
	Kirk:  It was nice to hear from you, Jansel.
*	Jansel:  I am pleased to make this contact.  I am always willing to be
here.
