<div align="left"><font face="Courier New" size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt">*   Elyon 
(Jonathan TR):  This is Elyon, most
happy to be here in attendance to fellowship.  It is
my highest priority to engage with my fellows, to
share, to acknowledge our Creator, to experience and
express love.  Today I want to speak a bit about
standards.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Courier New" size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt">    It
is worthwhile for every aspiring soul to
project ideals and to translate these afar off
ideals into goals.  A goal has the effect of drawing
an ideal closer to oneself, to personalize it, to
release it from a vague, allencompassing worthwhile
to a possess-able, attainable state of being.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Courier New" size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt">    You
know, as you are very much engaged in the
framework of space and the chamber of time, that
measuring is often a required action for you to
accomplish your daily tasks.  This does apply to
growth in the spiritual realm.  So you create
standards, standards to attain, standards below
which you will not let yourself settle.  Within this
margin is where you function.  Your goal always
exists above your highest standards.  As you fully
transform your personality, the lower standards
rise, but they are no longer crossable.  It is not
that you will not let yourself go below, but rather
you have become incapable of stooping.  It has
become a void, no longer relevant.  But there is a
potential hazard to standards, for it is tempting
for the mind to continually judge your worthwhile
qualities and your more embarrassing behaviors.  So,
though you will over time use standards as mile
markers to attain your goals and personalize your
ideals, I encourage you to work more with gauges.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Courier New" size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt">    A
gauge reads from its minimum to its maximum.
The accuracy of the gauge is where it indicates at
any point in its spectrum.  As you read your gauge
and discern you are at midpoint, you have your
reality check.  It does not tempt you to evaluate if
you have fallen short of your standard, that you
have sunk below your bottom line.  It merely gives
you your feedback.  Just as when you drive your
speedometer gives to you verification of your true
speed.  All these elements contribute to your
growth.  Yet it is beneficial to maintain an
orientation, to be inspired by your ideals,
challenged by your goals, held to your standards.
and to monitor your gauge; for the gauge is the
indicator of your present progress.  You may
experience frustration if you spend too much time
worrying about your standards, judging how close you
are to your goal.  Today, this moment, your gauge
gives you your current position, your current
velocity.  This is the data from which you will
benefit.</span></font></div>

am finished.</span></font></div>

<div align="left"><font face="Courier New" size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt">*   Michael
(Mark):  I return to your midst.  I
surround you with my presence; I hold you in my
bosom.  I support you with my love.  I promise to be
with you throughout our journey together.  I yearn
for your companionship.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Courier New" size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt">    I
offer my appreciation at your demonstration
this weekend of your affection for me and my mission
which is the mission of our Father.  I beckon you to
join me arm in arm as we demonstrate to the world
the characteristics of our Father.  We are to become
these traits, so we are visible to those in your
realm.  It was a great joy to witness the
lightheartedness of your gathering this weekend; the
joy with which you come together is touching to all
of creation.  Take this joy and mix it with the love
you feel in my presence and spread this out to all
you contact.  This is our privilege.  This is our
mission.  And all is going according to plan.  What
a great and glorious plan it is, my friends, my
coworkers.  You are coming to taste the sweetness
that is a result of your labor.  You may grow to
yearn for this sweetness, to hunger for it in your
everyday life.  It is the force to pull you forward,
to draw you toward our Father, and I am there with
you.  I desire you to be with me.  What the two of
us shall desire shall be.  It is only time and your
experience to bridge the gap.  Even this is a joy
and a privilege.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Courier New" size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt">    Feel
my presence in your lives, each and every
one.  As you leave this place take that with you.
Recall it during your days, during your weeks.
Allow this presence to be your new reality, a gift
and also a direct result of your efforts to earn it.
My peace I always leave with you.  My presence I
desire to be with you more and more.  I look forward
to this as our new reality.  I leave my love with
you.</span></font></div>
