<font face="Courier New"><span style="font-size:12pt">*   Elyon (Jonathan TR): 
Greetings, friends, this is Elyon, glad to be
with you as always to share the camaraderie, to delight in our expanded
sense of the divine working in the world and within your lives.  As it is
that time again in this part of the world of spring, I wish to take a
moment and encourage you to begin your spring cleaning on a spiritual
level.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Courier New"><span style="font-size:12pt">    You
have been discussing many topics which are interconnected in their
spiritual foundation, and each brings to your fore-mind the inquiry as to
how you may be available and applied to the furtherance, the prosperity,
and the improvement of this world and rectifications, repairs, and
restorations.  As is the case with your physical environment so it is in
the spiritual realm that over time items accumulate, serve their purpose,
and when the purpose has run its course often remain to clutter your
environment.  Today I ask you to reflect on spiritual clutter, perhaps
more accurately conceptual clutter that muddies your clarity, that makes
it difficult for you to wade through in order to grasp the spirit angle,
the spirit perspective.  The final step in this cycle of acquiring,
applying, is to release and discard.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Courier New"><span style="font-size:12pt">    Oftentimes
a physical object may be difficult to release from your
possession due to sentiment, fond associations, the value you perceive in
its onetime usefulness.  On a spiritually conceptual level, this same
cycle applies and can be even more difficult to complete than a physical
application, for you have no difficulty of ridding yourself of those very
worn out pairs of shoes, those no longer running vehicles, and the like.
But oftentimes those constructs of mind that define spiritual reality at
the stages prior to your current understanding remain to confuse your
further development.  This is what I ask you to honestly search for and
boldly face and willingly discard.  Honor it for its serviceability and
purpose, not just for its value then but also for the gift of its delivery
to you, the new potentials that lie in front of you.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Courier New"><span style="font-size:12pt">    Two
examples of stumbling blocks that will aid you in a further search
are regret and resentment.  I choose these because they at surface level
do not appear to be some element that was helpful prior to your current
state of being.  This way I intend to indicate that you may look widely
through your being for those cleansing opportunities.  When an event
occurred that bore upon you such an experience that you come to resent,
know and apply the truth that this experience happened once.  I would
footnote that some experiences repeat themselves, however, each experience
happened once.  Resentment, to those of you in this era of rapid
communication, is simply within yourself resending to your memory that old
experience.  The experience is no longer, but your mind and emotions
resend it over and over, and this becomes a hindrance to your growth.
Likewise is regret.  In this instance I choose this word to distinguish it
from resentment, for it allows me to point out that some of these
regrettable situations are not ones that happen to you but are caused by
you.  Egress is a word you use to indicate leaving, exit.  Digress
indicates you have varied from your course, from your direction.  Regress
indicates a return over previously covered topics.  Regret also is a back-
cycling of your experience.  You must determine when usefulness, those
lessons, the truths extracted therefrom, have served their purpose and do
your spring cleaning.  Put them in the trash, set them on the curb, and
let them go.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Courier New"><span style="font-size:12pt">    It is
difficult because sentiment, attachment, are likewise applied to
these more uncomfortable conditions as much as those cherished
experiences.  But you know, just as it is work to rake your yards to
gather up the winter’s clutter, to break a sweat in doing so, to take your
valuable time away from pleasurable activities, social activities, that
when the work is done the yard bursts forth in new growth.  The beauty of
the new cycle is enhanced and increased by your manual labor.  In the
inner sanctum of your being this also holds true.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Courier New"><span style="font-size:12pt">    It is
not my place to tell you where and what; you must find for
yourselves those things that you desire to discard.  I am not an interior
designer.  I am not here to reposition your inner house.  All I care to do
is to encourage you to look around and select those possessions, for they
are yours, not mine, that you wish to keep, that you wish to discard, and
that you wish to apply now that you have not been utilizing but merely
storing.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Courier New"><span style="font-size:12pt">    You
are excited this day about prospects for going forth into the
world and ministering, shedding the light so that others may be blessed.
This is a delight to our Creator Son.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Courier New"><span style="font-size:12pt">    As I
wrap up I will make a final comment that when you travel you can
only take what is of service in your journey.  All other household items
must be left behind.  So, as you go forth, as you at this hour rally your
enthusiasm to proceed, pack what you need.  Be not concerned about that
which you are not going to take; it will be there when you return.  Your
house may not be finished in its decorating or its remodeling, but you
still can travel; you can still pack your bags with those needed items.  I
say this because you may feel inadequate, under-prepared to engage in
planetary ministry for the celestial administrators on this world.  Rest
assured that in your assignment you will only need that which fits in your
travel bag.  You will not need all of your possessions.  You have faith.
This is good.  You may not have courage.  That is fine.  Pack in your bags
your faith.  Courage may not be in your home, but you may find it on your
journey.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Courier New"><span style="font-size:12pt">    I hope
this stimulates you to do your spring cleaning.  Only you can
place merit upon the valuable and the discard-able.  I am here to be of
service in questions.  Others are in my midst should you request their
contact.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><br/>
</div>
<div align="left"><font face="Courier New"><span style="font-size:12pt">    Ginny: 
Jesus, in The Urantia Book, warned against self examination.
How do we distinguish between the wrong kind and our normal way of
discarding what we don’t need?</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><br/>
</div>
<div align="left"><font face="Courier New"><span style="font-size:12pt">*   Elyon: 
Emphasis was upon the often developed quagmire of overmuch
self examination wherein the investigating, determining, categorizing; the
noting, itemizing, slating, elements of examination go on indefinitely.
At some point in your refinement of being a decision ought to be made, a
commitment chosen, and you proceed therefrom.  To return to my theme of
spring cleaning, we may liken this to having a yard wherein nothing is
planted.  You begin the research of which shrubbery, grass types, pathways
you may use to landscape and continue to examine these elements for a
decade, all the while weeds and dust exist in your yard.  This is what he
cautioned against.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Courier New"><span style="font-size:12pt">    You
know that the master spent forty days alone in the hills examining
his role in his bestowal mission for the Father and for the world.  He
made his decisions and resolutely conducted the rest of his life as he
taught, with self forgetfulness.  The choice was made and the mission set,
and he focused on his ministry.  The apostles to whom he spoke at the time
felt as many of you often do, inadequate for the mission.  He wished to
allay these fears by encouraging them to redirect their attention from
their inadequacies to those around them who lacked what they had already
acquired.  If you continued your spring cleaning all the way into next
winter, you may miss the beauties of the seasons intervening.  This is
what he cautioned you about.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Courier New"><span style="font-size:12pt">    If I
may put it another way, you wake up a spring morning and gaze
upon your lawn and find weeds growing all through it.  Sound self
examination is plucking the weeds that you can perceive.  Overmuch self
examination is tearing up all the sod looking for every seed that may
germinate that is a weed.  I hope this has clarified.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><br/>
</div>
<div align="left"><font face="Courier New"><span style="font-size:12pt">    Ginny: 
Thank you.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Courier New"><span style="font-size:12pt">    We are
delighted to have Monjoronson among us.  Could you give us a
little more on his purpose here?  We welcome him mightily happily into our
group.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><br/>
</div>
<div align="left"><font face="Courier New"><span style="font-size:12pt">*   Elyon: 
He likewise is thrilled to make the connection and to draw you
consciously into association.  His purpose spans beyond this smaller
circle of Teaching Mission ministers which includes you all.  The scope
would be far too much to relay to you, but relating to your association,
this great Son of God is upstepping your awareness of your real
association with the celestial ministers upon this world.  First you
became sensitive to, welcomed, and began working with beings like myself
who have been assigned to this world to teach.  Then you received contact
from many melchizedek advisors.  You have become acquainted with a Trinity
Teacher Son and archangels.  Not to burden you with the majesty of such
great beings, you also have been introduced to friends like Lester and
artists from the celestial spheres of art.  This Avonal Son is one more
introduction leading to an incorporation of all these efforts of all these
personalities under Michael’s Correcting Time mission.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Courier New"><span style="font-size:12pt">    If I
may place this in context, there is one mission in Nebadon, and
that is for all the children under Michael’s care to contribute to and
attain Light and Life.  Narrowing in upon any locality, be it a system or
a planet, there are variables, localized conditions, which dictate
variable applications in ministry and upliftment.  So, the tasks of the
melchizedeks are to develop educational programs for uplifting all
creatures in those localities and for the Magisterial Son to weigh the
efforts to determine future direction, to signal close, and to inaugurate
openings.  While the Trinity Teacher Sons project towards Light and Life,
the Magisterial Son works within the cycles, the manifold steps toward
Light and Life, opening and closing each step when it is relevant, when it
is applicable.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Courier New"><span style="font-size:12pt">    The
melchizedeks project the lesson plans; the Teacher Sons chart the
course to the golden future, and the Avonals mark the cycles and determine
the merit and the needs.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Courier New"><span style="font-size:12pt">    I hope
this clarifies.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><br/>
</div>
<div align="left"><font face="Courier New"><span style="font-size:12pt">    Ginny: 
Thank you.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><br/>
</div>
<div align="left"><font face="Courier New"><span style="font-size:12pt">    Tom: 
He is opening a step now rather than closing one?</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><br/>
</div>
<div align="left"><font face="Courier New"><span style="font-size:12pt">*   Elyon: 
Yes and no.  May I illustrate.  As you pass through a door,
you both open and close.  So, the new cycle is opening with his presence,
but that at the same time implies the closure of an older cycle.  However,
I must caution you creatures whose time spans are narrower than an Avonal
Son’s that when the door swings open and shut the interval of time is
greater than you may be able to perceive.  The transition is occurring
now.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Courier New"><span style="font-size:12pt">    You
have been spoken to by Machiventa in weeks recent regarding our
many years of preparatory lessons and the beginning of a new phase in this
mission.  So it has become the opportune time within our teaching
classroom for you to be in contact with this son.  Therefore, as regards
our group, the new cycle has begun.  As a matter of promoting my lesson of
today, in order to encourage that new cycle, it is worthwhile for you to
gather up the clutter and discard the non-useful, that which will not help
in the new cycle, though it may have been quite valuable in the previous.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Courier New"><span style="font-size:12pt">    Or if
I may put it another way, you have a guest arriving.  It is
natural when a guest is coming for a host to tidy up.  If it is difficult
to eliminate some cherished qualities, though they are acquiring tarnish,
do it not for yourself; do it because the guests are arriving.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><br/>
</div>
<div align="left"><font face="Courier New"><span style="font-size:12pt">    Kirk: 
One of the things I can leave behind is the feeling that I am
not going to live on this world and see the era of Light and Life.  I
could live it now.  All the gifts that God has given us are here now.  I
could live like Light and Life is here right now, seeing those gifts as
present.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><br/>
</div>
<div align="left"><font face="Courier New"><span style="font-size:12pt">*   Elyon: 
This is a fantastic comment! for the era of Light and Life
that you hope for is often taken as a global condition, and this condition
is down the road of time.  To resolve oneself to the understanding that
one’s lifespan may not cover enough of this road of time that you will
witness Light and Life may lead to complacency, the feeling that, since it
is not here now, I need not be too concerned with the conditions of the
world, for they do not represent Light and Life which is a long ways off.
This will not bring Light and Life.  However, as you establish Light and
Life within yourself, and this is possible within your lifetime, you begin
the expansion of Light and Life on this world.  As each of you does, and
you all gather en masse, the day of the arrival as a planet approaches
with greater speed.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Courier New"><span style="font-size:12pt">    Thank
you for making that observation.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><br/>
</div>
<div align="left"><font face="Courier New"><span style="font-size:12pt">    Tom: 
The same would hold for Adjuster attunement, would it not?  It’s
not something that has to wait for the future.  Spring clean that out and
accept it now.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><br/>
</div>
<div align="left"><font face="Courier New"><span style="font-size:12pt">*   Elyon: 
Yes.  Remember the Divine Fragment dwelling within you hails
from eternity.  Time is only a constraint to the Indwelling Spirit because
time is a condition of your human personality.  Because time is part of
your human condition, it is your choice the length or brevity of the
interval of time between partial and complete alignment, attunement and
fusion.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Courier New"><span style="font-size:12pt">    It lightens
my heart, cultivates joy, to observe your comments of
things that you may eradicate that are forward looking.  I chose the
surgical examples of clearing out resentment, regret.  You chose the
acquiring examples of attaining Light and Life and aligning with the
Divine Spirit within.  It illustrates the progress you have made in your
spirit vantage point, your observation deck, of how you will conduct your
life and what work needs to be done.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><br/>
</div>
<div align="left"><font face="Courier New"><span style="font-size:12pt">    Ginny: 
I would like to discard the notion that I am alone in all
this, not just physically but spiritually too.  Many are working for the
same thing; certainly celestials are helping us.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><br/>
</div>
<div align="left"><font face="Courier New"><span style="font-size:12pt">*   Elyon: 
I must relate to you the stand of applause that has just
ensued from your comment.  Many here are overjoyed at your recognition.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><br/>
</div>
<div align="left"><font face="Courier New"><span style="font-size:12pt">    Evelyn: 
I allow myself to be swayed by emotional stimulus.  That’s
something to jettison.  The perspective of “do unto others” is helpful to
get me out of gloominess, for example.  Now it’s a matter of identifying
those emotions and let them go when they appear, and not to beat myself up
when they do creep up. </span></font></div>
<div align="left"><br/>
</div>
<div align="left"><font face="Courier New"><span style="font-size:12pt">*   Elyon: 
You have illustrated a key principle, the doing unto others.
While it may not be exciting the prospect of raking one’s own yard, it is
quite enjoyable to go next door and engage with another in cleaning up
their yard, not that you are desirous of fixing their problems, but that
it is in the fellowship that you are energized.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><br/>
</div>
<div align="left"><font face="Courier New"><span style="font-size:12pt">    Ginny: 
It’s hard to give up, like dieting, because of the deprivation
we think we are feeling.  Rather than discard we can take on something
that is the opposite to help us spiritually.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><br/>
</div>
<div align="left"><font face="Courier New"><span style="font-size:12pt">*   Elyon: 
Indeed.  And if each of you keeps up these comments I will
have lost my purpose!</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><br/>
</div>
<div align="left"><font face="Courier New"><span style="font-size:12pt">    Evelyn: 
Well, don’t be resentful!</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><br/>
</div>
<div align="left"><font face="Courier New"><span style="font-size:12pt">    Tom: 
You are talking about getting rid of spiritual scaffolding.
It’s difficult when you don’t know what era we are moving into.  Which
precepts do you want to take with you?  In what we refer to as
Machiventa’s Manifesto,  he suggests getting rid of concepts that no
longer serve and embracing new ones.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><br/>
</div>
<div align="left"><font face="Courier New"><span style="font-size:12pt">*   Elyon: 
I one time gave you the lesson of climbing the ladder.
Encased in that lesson was to help you accept the lower rungs you dwelled
upon as you ascended, not to regret those early stages, for they lifted
you higher up the ladder.  But if you were to remove those lower rungs the
ladder would collapse.  You illustrate that it is important to discern
what is discard-able and what is keep-able.  To use this analogy, I would
say that this is the focus of deliberately lifting your foot off the rung
you have been on and stepping beyond the rung you are on to the rung you
are heading toward.  This is where the cleansing can begin.  It is not the
removal of the rung; it is the lifting of your foot and your moving from
it.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Courier New"><span style="font-size:12pt">    Another
illustration perhaps would be imagine yourself living in a
vast estate with many rooms, and you wish to cross from one end to the
other, and it is nighttime.  As you go through your rooms, you may turn on
a light to enter and turn off a light to leave.  Your spiritual progress
is the same.  The room you have gone through in your growth was turned on,
illuminated for you to grow.  As you left you turned off the light.  The
stage of development still exists; that era is your history, but the light
is not on at that level any longer.  You have taken your spirit luminosity
into another room.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Courier New"><span style="font-size:12pt">    You
express the desire to understand the next stage.  You are at this
time standing in the doorway turning off the light in the older room, and
not quite yet have you turned on the light in the new room.  I pledge to
you all my efforts to help you find the light switch and perceive that new
era that is at your feet.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><br/>
</div>
<div align="left"><font face="Courier New"><span style="font-size:12pt">    Tom: 
That would be Life and Light?</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><br/>
</div>
<div align="left"><font face="Courier New"><span style="font-size:12pt">*   Elyon: 
Yes, indeed.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><br/>
</div>
<div align="left"><font face="Courier New"><span style="font-size:12pt">    Ginny: 
Light and Life is evolutionary.  It doesn’t turn on as fast as
a light switch.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><br/>
</div>
<div align="left"><font face="Courier New"><span style="font-size:12pt">    *   Elyon: 
It is.  However, it can have some elements of
instantaneous-ness.  May I illustrate again.  Night falls over the valley,
and all who dwell within that valley have the ability to illuminate their
own houses.  As it darkens, as the sun sets, one or two lights come on,
and a few more, and a few more.  Soon by nightfall the entire village is
aglow.  So, Kirk will have turned on his Light and Life light, and so will
have you and each of you in this room and many around.  That is the
evolution of Light and Life.  Each of you attain and eventually all will
arrive.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Courier New"><span style="font-size:12pt">    I must
indicate to you that Light and Life is not a condition of a
planet, per se, even of a universe; it is a condition of all who dwell
therein.  Each one accumulates to the totality of Light and Life.  Nebadon
will not be in Light and Life until each personality is in Light and Life,
just as a city does not turn on all its lights at the same time when night
falls.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Courier New"><span style="font-size:12pt">    I hope
this helps.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><br/>
</div>
<div align="left"><font face="Courier New"><span style="font-size:12pt">    Ginny: 
It would be a good practice for us every time we turn on a
light to remember.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><br/></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Courier New"><span style="font-size:12pt">*   Elyon: 
I will withdraw my presence, as it has been some time in our
engagement.  Thank you for your participation; it thrills me.  Don’t
forget to polish the light bulbs before you turn them on.</span></font></div>
