* 	Elyon (Jonathan TR):  I greet you each lovingly and caringly.  These
descriptives of my feelings to you are the best we can do to give evidence
of the
reality, the truth, behind them.  Though I am unable to offer facial expression
or physical gesture to complement these words, I nonetheless do love and
care for
each of you deeply. This is Elyon.  Today I wish to express a few thoughts
on the
topic of transition, and may I use an image of a popular sport of yours,
skateboarding.
	I have spoken over these many years of your dual nature, and this imagery
of skateboarding suits well, for we may assign the skateboard to the
dimension of
your spiritual progress and the sidewalk to the dimension of your material
life. 
There are times when you are feeling the expediency of the skateboard; your
spiritual travel appears quick; your progress is noted within reason, the reason
of your expectations, sometimes even to the delight of the recognition that
progress is more rapid than you had expected.  There are other times when you
feel that you have both feet firmly planted on the sidewalk and they are
trodding
along at a sluggish pace, wishing there were some change in the incline such
that
you may actually get a boost to help you along.  Most of life, however, is a
balance between a foot upon the board and a foot upon the walk.  This is the
transition state that all beings conduct their lives in.
	One of the great lessons derived from morontia experience is the
realization that in order to grow one must always be in transition.  The desired
attainment of any goal or ideal is only a lure, a catalyst, to draw you
forward. 
But we have all learned that the goal is a propellant rather than a destiny,
that
the true joy of soul growth is the movement, the change, the discovery and
application.  The skateboard goes faster as you learn to use your material
surroundings, your physical life, its conditions, to help you advance.  Your
material life also functions more harmoniously when you have the glide of your
spiritual dimension to carry you through the rough times.
	Those who enjoy the sport of skateboarding do not look for the end of the
day when their event is done; they enjoy the moment of the practice; they enjoy
the many antics involved, and the practice and the skill development.  It is
transitional activity that brings the thrill.  As each of you more greatly
recognizes the ever changing constant of life, and as you more continuously
apply
your understanding that personal change is your lifeline to personal growth,
transition will become a sought-for adventure rather than an imposing disruption
upon your condition.
	Paradise in the Urantia Papers is described as a stationary system of
reality.  Implied in this description of Paradise is that no other location in
the universe is such.  All things whorl around the Central Isle; all beings
descend therefrom or advance thereto.  Everything moves.  Transition is the way
of life.
	I will pause at this time for the input of others and always welcome your
input, as well.
*	Abraham:  I am Abraham.  Greetings to all of you.  I visit today simply to
offer a pep talk.
	We are all enlisted in the services of the melchizedeks for the advancement
of this world, for the continual spreading of the message of Michael and his way
for spiritual living upon a material world.  Be always ready to serve as an
assistant to the melchizedeks, who dwell at this time upon your world more so
than they visit.  You will not necessarily have the pleasure I did when on this
planet of one such as Machiventa physically at my side, but you do, as I did,
have the same assistance from such a regal and noble character in the unseen
form
of quite a few associates of Machiventa.
	No one realized, not even the melchizedeks themselves, what changes were
made to their order when our good friend Machiventa came to this world so long
ago.  It is to everyone's curiosity and often surprise what the melchizedeks
engage in even though their order was not described as functioning in such
ways. 
They are a free body of spirits who are quite enlightened and creative.  It
is to
the benefit of this world and our system at large that they have taken such keen
interest in the goings on.  You are not alone.  An army stands with you.  There
will be times you will feel like the scout, alone in the field unsupported
by the
troops, but know that the melchizedek governors and generals are carefully
laying
out the course of action for the establishment and victory of light upon this
world.
	Thank you for receiving me today.  Shalom.

	(Gloria):  I'm getting a picture of two stages, one of the ego in the solar
plexus area and another in the higher consciousness.  On the lower stage is a
very dramatic actor playing out his role very seriously.  On the upper stage
is a
beautiful ballerina dancing around lightly as though not using her physical body
to dance.  The lower stage actor has a tight jaw, keeping serious.  The
ballerina
is trying to get his attention, "Look at me, how freely I dance, how
connected to
the Father, allowing Him to care for and support me.  My body is surrendered to
Him."  The actor tries to ignore her.  [(Frosty): I notice that I have at the
bottom a male and at the top a female.  We need discernment when we have one
foot
on the skateboard and one on the sidewalk; we need balance.  We could crash with
both feet on the board.  One foot needs to be lightly on the ground.]

*	Jessona (Jonathan):  This is Jessona.  I desire to compliment my associate
for his efforts in reaching out to his friend who has since passed out of the
physical life.  These offerings of yours had soul value and not only were
cherished at the time of reception, but are even this day effecting his
adaptation.  Always be ready to assert yourself in manners like this, for they
are beneficial to the welfare of your fellows.  I say, well done.

*	Darid:  This is Darid.  Gloria's relating of the ballerina and the stage
actor weaves well into your meeting last night with your visitor.  I am one who
enjoys the movement of dance and appreciates your value of the ballerina-like
approach to conversation.  There are times in life when you must face the gruff
actor who has yet to discover that higher stage upon which to dance.  There are
times when an individual will be blind to higher expression, but a quality
of the
human mind is its ability to lodge impression for re-emergence at a later time. 
You have placed in this repository of mind viable seeds which can spring forth
into awareness as experiences develop and allow such germination.
	Evelyn:  Thank you.  I felt like I took a handful of seeds and hurled them
into the ground.  They may germinate anyway.
*	Darid:  As Jesus gave his parable of sowing seeds, you are correct that
there are times when many seeds must be broadcast because the conditions are too
harsh for one plant to be planted and be successful.
 
*	Jansel:  This is Jansel.  It is fitting that I address you today, as well. 
This is a great pleasure to be in this mode of contact to bring assurance of
assistance, to acknowledge your clarity in discernment in your times of
stillness.
	The interrelationship of human beings is the greatest and most adventurous
experience that can be had.  Love and compassion and concern are always
appropriate.  Acknowledgment of your own needs, well-being, likes and dislikes
and desires, is also important.  As Elyon spoke today of transition, I would
replace that word with "balance" and use the same principles, for ever and
always
life is a process of balance.  Continue, my friend, in your care and your
concern
for your associate and for yourself.

*	(unidentified):  To Gloria, I greet you.  I must give you my compliments
and do so before your friends, for you deserve such recognition.  The many years
that you have diligently applied yourself to spiritual development is not
only to
your own goodness but is a gift to those around you.  You touch lives in ways
that are not always noticed initially.  The clarity and the joviality with which
you express yourself touch the hearts of your fellows.  I am simply making this
known to you now because it is felt by others.

*	Helen (Gloria):  I would like to end the session today by asking you all to
sit in the abundance of the love that surrounds you and the love that is within
you.  The world seems negative at times, and the media would have you believe
that there is no abundance of love that does truly exist on the planet.  Many
hearts are filled with love.  Many hearts are filled with compassion and are
wanting to serve.  It is difficult at times to know how to express and serve
with
the love and compassion that is felt, for so many are shut down and cannot
freely
receive.  This makes it difficult.  But to freely give with all the love and
compassion that is felt in one's heart helps to restore the balance and helps
those who cannot openly receive.  It helps them to do it in their own way
without
it being pushed upon them.  The energy fields that are given with open love and
compassion and given abundantly are there for those who reach out when they can
and in the way that they can, with no restrictions or conditions put upon
them to
receive or to give or to serve.   Know that this abundance of love and
nourishment is here for all.  You do not have to seek to find it; it is here
upon
the planet, and it cannot be washed away, overridden.  It may need to be
rebooted
at times, but it is flourishing and is helping a great deal.  Keep up the good
work.
