*	Monjoronson (Mark TR):  Greetings, I am Monjoronson once again here enjoying you 
and experiencing the moment.  I will with delight take a few of the threads offered and 
weave them further into the tapestry of understanding.
	You have mentioned that there is experience necessary in order to have even greater 
experiences, that is, you must first have preliminary experiences which act as a 
foundation for you to have subsequent greater experiences that build on your wisdom and 
awareness developed along the way.  You all know that it is quite necessary, when 
considering your conventional education, that you first start out with the basics of any 
program and, through a very deliberate course, you build upon your attainment, and in 
this way you can build a great understanding and awareness step by step.  But it is not 
possible to take one who has never taken the basics of math and start them out in 
calculus; the foundation simply is not there; the concepts simply cannot be grasped when 
there is missing the building of the foundation where upon you can extrapolate out and 
grasp greater and greater teachings.
	Likewise have you all been engaged in your spiritual courses starting with 
Introduction to Spirit, then moving up to Spirit 101, and as you graduate each level you 
then possess the foundation to build upon for your next level of awakening.  This is the 
process which is universal and repeated throughout your ascension career.  You do not get 
an opportunity to skip a grade or move forward; there are strict requirements throughout 
the universe that you each individually attain every step, every level, in the process so 
that you may be presented the next level.  So it is that you may speculate about topics 
which are beyond your current growth level, but until you actually achieve the necessary 
experience, you can only speculate as to what it is that is under consideration.  Even 
having some experience at calculus one may find it necessary to speculate about nuclear 
physics or rocket science.  But as you have been demonstrated in your earthly career, all 
things are possible of knowing if you simply apply yourself to the step-by-step process 
of gaining this understanding and possessing this knowledge.  Then surely you can be 
shown and eventually you can attain the level that you desired.  But it is required that 
your time be invested and that your intentions to do so be in position to drive you to 
take step after step, knowing that one day you will reach that pinnacle that you desire, 
that summit of awareness that you describe.
	Having reached that summit, just as the mountain climber you refer to, there is 
granted to you that this is but yet another level and there are levels beyond that.  Even 
if you happen to triumph and scale the world’s most challenging peak, when you arrive 
there you are granted with sight to indicate to you that this goal is but a material and 
mortal depth, and there are frontiers of spirit which go beyond even this earthly 
accomplishment.  Truly, as you are becoming aware, the opportunities for your growth 
never end; they simply change to new curriculums.
	I would echo the sentiments offered here today that each course, each step, each 
accomplishment is to be treasured.  They are as the stones in your foundations; they are 
to be cherished, for without such pieces to your puzzle you cannot build the sturdy 
foundation that is necessary to build your ascension career on top of.  So while you are 
earnestly engaged in growth, in taking your classes quite studiously and seriously, I 
encourage you to relish each one, for it is your only chance to fully embrace this part 
of your ascension career, this beginning.
	I also encourage the sentiment to share these experiences with the First Source and 
Center who is ultimately responsible for providing these for you.  Even the smallest of 
experiences, when appreciated, becomes divine in nature, to simply appreciate the falling 
snow, the sight and sound of your experience of the moment, and to offer them up as 
praise and thanks to the Creator for providing such opportunities for you to experience.  
And, as you said, that is a gift that you make by your decision to share this experience, 
to offer this up in appreciation, and to appreciate together this experience, to welcome 
in the Father to appreciate an experience with you, completes a circuit and is an avenue 
of approach that is yours to exercise at any moment that you can remember to do so.
	It is a joy to hear your discussion and realize the growth that has taken place as 
your individual journeys bring you direct experience.  It is my pleasure to be engaged 
with you as part of this experience.  I withdraw now to allow for others to use this 
treasured forum you create.  Thank you.

*	Elyon (Jonathan):  Elyon here as well.  I extend my love and share in the joy of 
our association.  I will speak some about God’s acceptance of you.
	In your evolutionary unfoldment you have learned to enjoy those periods of relative 
attainment and success.  The rewards of such experiences increase within you the desire 
to ascend ever further, that the struggle to learn to add spurs you on to the challenge 
of division.  When you have accomplished that you are ever ready and even willing for the 
rigors ahead.  But some are led to feel that without full attainment they are not 
acceptable.
	Picture, if you will, a balloon.  I will name this balloon the soul.  When it is 
deflated it merely is there, but as you gain in experience, when you breathe the breath 
of spirit into it, it enlarges.  Because spirit is lighter than the dimension which you 
are in, you begin to rise, to ascend.  A balloon with just a small amount of spirit 
presence will ascend as much as a fully inflated larger balloon.  You desire to grow, to 
become more present, but Father sees you even when there is but a small quantity of 
spirit presence, and you are deemed to be His child regardless.
	Now I will return to your lesson of last week regarding personality pattern.  
Monjoronson told you that that pattern is perfect and present, that you aren’t developing 
a personality.  Yet the human being asks, “Who am I?” and searches to know that answer 
and to experience being.  You have learned that a magnetic field can be revealed when 
iron filings are placed upon a sheet of paper and gently vibrated.  They will conform to 
that magnetic field.  This is only a two dimensional revelation of a three dimensional 
field.  So your perspective of your personality, while being a human, is only a limited 
dimensional experience of your multi-dimensional personality.  So here you have but a 
small sketch of what you are, and so the question is asked, “Who am I?”.
	I have stressed stillness because it is also a tool for the realization of the 
multi-dimensionality of your being.  It takes you out of the three dimensions that you 
may see yourself in greater entirety.
	Throughout your life you undertake many experiences that bring change.  Most 
changes are advantageous and, as Monjoronson has illustrated today, mound upon one 
another and increase your stature and your power.  Some change through thwarting or 
distracting.  In those instances remember the field that is your personality.  You 
understand that a magnetic field can hold things within its area to capture things into 
an orbit.  So, when your mind fluctuates let that greater power of your personality hold 
it in its orbit.  You are not led by mind; mind is held by you.  This is how you can 
attain balance.  As you grow, your personality does not change, but many more experiences 
are captured within your field.  Those experiences reveal the pre-existent pattern of 
yourself.  But They do more than just reveal; they compound, for now, not only is the 
field present but, as I have illustrated, the iron filings also are present.  And your 
personality becomes more than it is in the accumulation of soul growth, of mind 
enlargement.
	I will make one more illustration and return to the balloon.  While you are 
embodied on Urantia your soul balloon is tethered to the world by way of your mind and 
body.  This period of your growth is when you add to that tether and it lengthens.  While 
your soul expands the balloon becomes larger, so your tether lengthens in knowledge and 
understanding, in expression and manifestation of your accumulated experience, and you 
ascend higher.  But you also are approachable and contactable here in this dimension of 
Earth.  You ascend to great heights and see to a greater perspective your planetary 
position and the position of your planet.  Eventually you will release yourself from that 
tether and ascend into the morontia dimension.  But now it is of great value to be 
tethered to your world, for you have a height of discernment where you can perceive 
overall.  This is projected back down to those who are looking up, and you become also 
the breath of spirit that they may become greater inflated and also ascend.
	I tell you that, if you can collect all of your ascendant selves together, you have 
the power to lift the entire planet.
	Thank you for your attention.

	Evelyn:  Could you say more on the “gathering ourselves together” part?

*	Elyon:  This gathering I speak of is often referred to as “fellowship”, the 
communion of congregation even as you do today in your conference.  So the means whereby 
you gather is through such community, but I will speak to one other element.  It is that 
you are a collection of ascending souls, and that collection is as buoyant as one large 
balloon.  You are to maintain your individuality even in your association one to another.  
Your distinction is as valuable as is the compilation of all of you.  It is the unity of 
spirit rather than the uniformity or, might I say, the dissolution of all yourselves into 
one being.

	Tom:  Earlier in the discussion it was mentioned that there’s no skipping of grades 
and in math one builds one upon the other.  How does that factor in with things like 
faith healing or illuminated beings who one minute are normal and the next minute they 
are at the top of their game?  It’s like they tapped into the perfection of their 
unchanging personality.  Instead of the discipline of grasping, it’s more like a letting 
go.  Is this a genetic component?  Like autistic musicians who suddenly, after never 
having heard a piece before, immediately play a classical masterpiece.

*	Elyon:  Such apparent abnormalities as you speak of which reveal great talent 
indicate the perfection of personality, which is merely hampered by circumstances and 
embodiment.
	Let us use this math metaphor some more.  You can add sequentially and laboriously 
until you reach, say, one hundred.  But you can speed up that process through 
multiplication in batches of numbers counted batch and batch until you reach that same 
number.
	Sometimes an individual has all the numbers in place but one or two, and that is 
all the trigger it takes for there to be revealed the talent, be it the ability to heal, 
be it the ability to play a masterpiece on an instrument.  It might be, for instance, to 
one who observes, that “carrying the one” once more causes all the other numbers in every 
subsequent column to also carry a one, and a dramatic change appears.
	The question can be asked, in the case of a handicap as you have illustrated, that 
any disfunction is merely apparent by definition of normal behavior, and that the 
revealed talent, in spite of that definition, is present and would likewise have 
functioned regardless.  That applies to every one of you, and I return to my topic of 
God’s acceptance.  You all have unrevealed talents.  While you may recognize your present 
handicaps, your deformities, your ability to excel is still within you.  You can express 
that masterpiece in spite of those drawbacks, and I encourage you to do so.

*	Machiventa (Mark):  I would greet you as well today, I am Machiventa Melchizedek 
here to offer a short observation from my perspective.
	You have cited the example in your discussions today of one who has made great 
accomplishment, I am referring to Sir Edmund Hillary, who managed a feat that was well 
known among your peers of humans as one who showed extraordinary dedication and devotion 
to his cause, as one who overcame great odds and challenges and who managed at great cost 
to conquer the odds and challenges and arrive at a location very few on Earth have ever 
arrived at.
	I would share with you, however, that we in the spiritual realm have a different 
perception of this one Sir Edmund Hillary.  Surely we will acknowledge his great feat 
over physical challenge and adversity, and we would grant him great success.  But looking 
at his life through the eyes of spirit, I would point out that his accomplishment of 
attaining the summit was merely a springboard for him to grow into his awareness of 
spirit.  I will witness to you that as a result of his efforts at having achieved the 
summit, he was so transformed by this life experience that he dedicated great portions of 
the rest of his life to be in service, that in fact his greatest accomplishments were not 
standing on the summit but were building schools and bridges and hospitals for people he 
discovered were in need en route to make his great accomplishment.  Even ‘til his last 
days on Earth he declined to acknowledge whether it was he or his devoted guide and 
assistant which achieved the summit first.  He had a transformation that, having made 
such an accomplishment, he was given a new awareness, a new program, as a result of his 
efforts.  And he became one who was interested in serving the Creator.  This took the 
form of him serving those who he had contacted en route to make his great accomplishment, 
and he spent very much of the rest of his life in humble service to the First Source and 
Center which he focused on individuals in need that he had contacted.
	So I tell you from your earthly perspective he will be remembered as one who 
overcame great physical challenges and odds but from the greater spiritual ... this was 
simply the beginning of his greatness ... in humble service, and this was the greater 
achievement although the lesser known, nevertheless his growth in awareness was a thing 
to witness throughout the universe.  He could have chosen to rest on his laurels, to 
become the famous climber, to book tours and television interviews and make the most of 
his accomplishments, but rather he chose to give back; he chose to be of service; he 
chose to become a more spiritualized being as a result of his experiences.  I offer this 
tribute to your brother Sir Edmund Hillary so that you may see, as was discussed, all 
things are the foundation of other things.  Even having accomplished such a great feat as 
he was able to do, there was so much granted to him as a result.
	So it is with all of your ascension careers.  You may reach many an individual 
summit, but from that summit your gaze affords you a whole new perspective.  There are 
other horizons then; there are other opportunities before you standing ... your 
achievement.  So it is the Father has designed for you an endless series of 
opportunities.
	Thank you for this opportunity to add some perspective to the accomplishment of one 
who you would revere as having made great achievements.  Thank you.
