*	Ham (Jonathan TR):  Greetings to you, I am Ham.  I am here today as I
elected to do so.  I have a keen interest in each teaching group and was
desirous
to witness the joining of two great teachers and their associates.  I am not
here
to present to you a formal lesson, just to extend my love and my greetings.
*	Tomas (Gerdean):  I am Tomas.  Good afternoon.  Often I affectionately
refer to myself as Tomas, the opportunist, and I will take the opportunity this
afternoon to present a few words to you and to enjoy your energy, and
augment the
energy of this realm by my personality presence.  It is a joy, in truth, to be
here and to feel your open hearts encircuited by Michael's energy and our
Father's love.  Words which I have brought for you today have to do with
sovereignty.
	Sovereignty is a big word which instills ideas of government and grand
schemes, and yet each of you, in fact, is a sovereign state unto yourself.  Your
self-governing aspects lie within your relationship with your indwelling
adjuster, and its rule in your hearts guides and generates your personal
kingdom. 
In this state of sacred sovereignty you individually will live in Light and
Life. 
When you conjoin with others, your personal sovereignty is extended, expanded,
enlarged, and altered in the incorporation of the personal sovereignty of
each of
you.  The old way would have you give up your personal sovereignty for the good
of all, and our concept of sovereignty would have you incorporate the
sovereignty
of others in such a way as to merge and meld your individual sovereignties to a
greater state of Light and Life.  This is a process similar to molecules that
gather together to create an organism.  Each molecule is essential in order that
the organism have all its living parts.  As you are all essential to the
configuration of your group Light and Life.
	Allowing the Father to remain your Sovereign Ruler affords you the faith
and trust that your brethren, your neighbor -- extensions of the Father and
reflections of His truth, beauty, and goodness -- are also in keeping with those
same attitudes and feelings that you have with your Sovereign.  It relates
in its
essence to each of you being yourself, and as you become more and more your true
self, you expand reality so that it fits appropriately with the adjoining
reality, enlarging our Father on Urantia in a very real sense, yes, contributing
to the Supreme.
	It is a supreme pleasure and privilege to be welcomed into this community. 
The previous years' experience in relating to you mortals of spiritual
hunger has
witnessed incredible and real growth in many ways.  As we expand and enhance our
previous teachings and learning, we grow momentum toward better days ahead.  It
is always invigorating to enjoy the company and stimuli of others, and this
community is a raucous display of fraternity, which, with appropriate
sovereignty, will grow into a mighty living citadel of the spirit for our
Father's glory.
*	Lantarnek (Jonathan):  Greetings, this is Lantarnek.  I recognize that each
of you seeks the First Source and Center.  You are keenly aware of our continual
encouragement toward your practice of stillness, and, if you center upon this
source first, much of the meaning of the teachings of Michael take on deeper
significance.
	Many have stumbled over the phrase, "to love another as you love yourself",
for there is confusion over the value of self and caution regarding the
over-evaluation and importance of self. The Father is your source and He is your
destiny, but you are the journey between source and destiny.  It is the Father's
will that you unfold from Him and back to Him and that you reveal to Him your
discovery of reality, your explanation of the exploration of the universe.
	The nature of the First Source and Center is that of absoluteness,
all-encompassing of totality and extending beyond totality.  Your expression is
one of the emergence of minuteness into magnanimity.  The Father welcomes this
expansion of yourself and has pledged to be with you and to become as you in
this
course of unfoldment.  The realization of the value of individuality and the
coinciding understanding of the presence of the Father in every individual ought
to forever displace the sense that the love for oneself is a perilous
notion.  If
it be the will of the Father that He indwell you to commune with you, to reveal
to you, and if you think but that you are unworthy, reflect for one moment that
if He could bestow upon you Himself, then you have value.  The extension of this
reflection in the realization that all others around you are equally endowed
with
His divinity, you can realize Michael's truth of loving another as yourself.
	The First Source and Center is the secret to all subsequent activity,
thinking, realizing, and again brings me back to my emphasis that you spend that
time with Him in solitary communion.
*	Elyon (Mark):  I bring you my warm greetings today; this is your associate
Elyon.  No instructor or group of associates can be more pleased than myself and
the others at the formation of this group and the potentials rising to the
surface in the crowd.
	We have been once again reminded of the importance of the stillness and the
power of the group association, and it is now laid at your feet for you to
activate at your will.  Your eager faces staring toward the truth are a joy to
behold, and your embrace of the truth is splendid to witness.  The building
blocks are immediately before you, and we watch in awe and joy as you grasp and
assemble these blocks.  We refrain from instructing as to exactly how to
assemble
them, but we are ever on the sidelines cheering you on as you take these steps
yourselves.  We have before us powerful opportunities.  Life, however, this life
is short, is brief.  Having had the tools and the materials set before you we
must be about this task at hand.  We will find great joy in working together in
these tasks.  Many will be drawn to our projects as we are engaged in light
building.  As we work on our structures of light, new opportunities arise and
different materials come to hand, and it is a creative endeavor to utilize the
forces and the materials at hand to accomplish this undertaking.  The creativity
is yours; it rests in each of your laps.  The initiative, the drive, is yours
from deep within your souls.  What is left is to simply go about the mechanics,
go about the step-by-step procedure to start with something small and arrive at
something much bigger.
	It is a joy to witness everyone in their own developmental stages and to
see that separately they are awe-inspiring, but together they are overwhelmingly
magnificent.  Each one of your points of light originating here shines out and
around and about you.  Collectively assembled you represent a beacon, a
veritable
lighthouse, to those around you.  We encourage you to shine brightly in these
endeavors with joy, to radiate this love energy out to those around you that
they
may witness the fragrance, witness the light, and be drawn to you and to your
message of peace and of love.  You have been graced with a number of associates
eagerly anticipating their interaction with you.  All that is left is to
complete
the circuit and engage your higher self and your associate assistants to follow
the highest path.  You have my commitment; you have our commitment that we will
be there to cheer you on, to encourage you, to counsel you when necessary, and
that the road before you is truly one filled with light and love and one we
share.
	Thank you for your willingness to embrace this process, for your
willingness to reach out beyond yourself.  This act of your faith is what is
required to mobilize these forces.  You are shining examples of this process.
	I move aside for others, but I leave you with my affection.
	Gloria:  Recently I've been taught how to go into my crown and move my
energy there.  I used to pull everything into my body to do things like
healing. 
Now it seems like I'm going up and out into dimensions outside of myself.  When
we did the silence I felt a healing spotlight going around above my crown chakra
rather than flowing through my heart.  This is different.  I'm learning to live
less in the physical and more in this realm.  I'm still in touch with the
physical.  I'd like validation if I'm understanding.
*	Elyon:  Elyon here, I will address your question.  My friend, you have been
engaged for quite some time in active pursuit of the understanding of energy
manipulation, how it flows and how it is channeled.  You have taken great
strides
in your understanding of these forces.  This is an important aspect for everyone
here to understand.  Life itself is energy.  It is the conscious manipulation of
this energy, to channel it and to cause it to flow in certain directions which
dictates the movement of your, not only spiritual progression, but your physical
movements as well.  Everything you do in this life is as a result of your
conscious desire to shift the energy required to make that action occur.
Whether
it is the simple raising and lowering of a limb or the act of a deep healing, it
is simply energy applied on different levels.  It is your concentration and
focus
of this energy application at different levels that dictate your effectiveness. 
Once you understand that your existence is energy and the flow of energy and the
direction of energy, you then become conscious of the effect the redirection of
this energy will have on your being.
	You have for sometime been observing these forces at work.  You are well
familiar with the physical aspects of energy required for movement, and you are
growing in consciousness of the effects of spiritual energy transferred and
channeled appropriately.  All of you will become more sensitive to the
application of these energies as you grow in awareness of their effect and
impact
on your direction.  It is an evolutionary step for you to learn to redirect your
energies so as to provide the desired results.
	Gloria:  It feels good because it's not so locked into the ego and
physical.  It's part of the expansion I've been going through.
*	Elyon:  Absolutely, and at this point it is most valuable to you to observe
the effects of the different flows of energy, this way or that way, in or out,
however you may perceive them, and to become aware of these effects so that you
can recreate this energy flow and subsequently the desired effects.
	Gloria:  Fun.  Cool.  Love it.
*	Lantarnek (Jonathan):  This is Lantarnek who would like to contribute.
	If I may draw an analogy to your lawn sprinklers or perhaps your
showerheads, that your chakras are as the aperture through which water may flow
and be distributed.  In your work on your morontia soul you have focused your
attention upon these apertures, making sure they are open and that the energy
flows through them.  You have become aware of the most important aspect of this
device and that is the inlet.  Your crown chakra is as the inlet aperture for a
sprinkler.  It is important as an ascending being to remove any restrictors that
would withhold the flow of the energy of the Father.  Your work has been focused
upon the nature of the configuration of this device which is, in reality, your
physical makeup.  Now you have taken the next step to be aligned with the energy
itself, to be part of the flow as well as part of the apparatus that distributes
the flow.
	I hope I have helped in my contribution.
	Gloria:  Very much so.  Thank you.
*	Tomas (Gerdean):  I will also add for the sake of balance and to embellish
upon a concept I discussed earlier, that of sovereignty.  You have been working
on the self-mastery of your system, your being, you are now ascending to your
area of energy in which a morontia reality is introduced and reigns upon the
rest
of your system.  The body chakras, the heart and instinct and so forth, are
related to your physicality and your emotional responses thereto.  As you
understand yourself better and allow your association with spirit to curtail
your
urges and intellectual drives, you seek more of the spirit-rich realm and the
seventh chakra, that lotus blossom wherein your soul is also blossoming.  So,
what you re doing is ascending in self-mastery.
	I am aware of your emotional response, and I understand your recognition of
validation, but you ought not be surprised to discover that you have begun to
also probe the seventh adjutant mind spirit of wisdom.  So, you may assimilate
into yourself as symbolized by the seventh chakra the adjutant mind spirit of
wisdom that will enable you now to maintain your sovereignty over yourself in
Light and Life.  It will render you now more pliable when you will be
prompted by
the Spirit of Truth, for your ego influence is healthy and is eager to
respond in
a healthy way to that which the universe provides for you.
	Gloria:  Thank you.  It has been a lot of work getting the ego to
integrate.
	I feel like I have had a love feast.  Thank you everyone for sharing.
*	Ham:  This is Ham once again and I greet you in closing.  It has been a
feast, indeed, a celebration, a closure, and a beginning.  It is a joy to be a
part of your lives and to watch you grow and to appreciate your assistance for
each other and for the reality that we all hold high.  Let's picnic on the lawn,
and we will be with you throughout your days to come until we meet again.  Good
afternoon.
