Mark: After the other night I was impressed with how significant being in <BR>
tune together with the attitude of gratitude is to encouraging the process <BR>
that I would like to acknowledge the gratitude that we all have in coming <BR>
together and being a part of such a wonderful group as we enjoy. And during <BR>
these times how much we as a group are in gratitude for the fellowship of <BR>
our unseen friends who so lovingly and faithfully minister to us as we look <BR>
to them. As we seek they are ever present to help us find and I believe we <BR>
are all one in our gratitude for this process and for this reality that we <BR>
create and uphold in this process.<BR>
<BR>
Elyon: [Mark] Greetings, I am Elyon here to join you in the expression of <BR>
gratitude for such a warm group of friends as we enjoy. In relation to your <BR>
discussion, perhaps we should have a few words about this phenomenon of <BR>
acceptance and letting go of resistance to that which is. As you all know in <BR>
your own lives, you have come to certain points where you have had long <BR>
cherished ideas of how things were or how things are according to your <BR>
understanding of them and in respect for your desire that they adhere to the <BR>
pattern that you recognize and are familiar with and therefore have grown <BR>
comfortable with.<BR>
<BR>
Each one of you have experienced having been brought to a point with a <BR>
cherished idea of a new found awakening or understanding that this long held <BR>
belief falls short of the ideal and you have experienced; what you might <BR>
refer to as an ah-ha moment or an epiphany and from that moment forward you <BR>
no longer see your long held idea in the same light as in your willingness <BR>
to be granted more awareness your perspective was enhanced and what you <BR>
thought to be a rather absolute truth or condition or circumstance turned <BR>
out to be only a partial understanding.<BR>
<BR>
With the addition of greater insight all at once you sensed yourself losing <BR>
your firm grip on what was a solid understanding that you possessed and <BR>
within a moment you became transformed of your awareness and expanded of <BR>
your perspective. If conditions are right and you are willing and you are <BR>
able you may experience the rather jarring episode of releasing your grip on <BR>
your previously held idea in order to transfer your grip to another more <BR>
inclusiveideaof reality.<BR>
<BR>
This is much like the experience you may have had as a young child of <BR>
swinging on the rings, holding firmly to one ring as you swing back and <BR>
forth and at some point developing the courage and the willingness to take <BR>
the risk to loosen the grip on one ring and grab for the next. After you <BR>
have reached a certain willingness and a certain ability you are able to <BR>
transfer yourself from this firm grip on one ring of awareness and grab <BR>
boldly and with intention, the next ring and transfer your entire being to a <BR>
new perspective, a new awareness.<BR>
<BR>
In this same way you may eventually find yourselves transferring from one <BR>
ring to the next to the next as you develop the comfort in letting go of <BR>
your secure position in order to gain the benefit of the forward momentum to <BR>
receive when you are willing to let go of that ring in a conscious and <BR>
active effort to reach for the next. It may take the small child some time <BR>
to develop comfort in their ability and generate enough desire to accomplish <BR>
this transfer of position but with some time and experience and not a little <BR>
courage and faith they eventually master the process of moving from ring to <BR>
ring with no more fear and uncertainty but rather with joy and fun in the <BR>
process.<BR>
<BR>
Likewise, you all are gaining confidence in your efforts to reach out and <BR>
grab the next ring to securely make this transfer with no adverse effects. <BR>
You have not lost your grip and fallen off, you have not experienced defeat <BR>
or trauma in this process as may have been feared but rather you have <BR>
experienced the joy and exhilaration for having been willing to extend <BR>
yourselves out, to reach for the next ring, to trust that you have the <BR>
skills and the tools necessary to make this transition in safety and in <BR>
comfort and now the process seems more like a game and appears to bring you <BR>
more joy and more peace.<BR>
<BR>
So it is that this spiritual ascension down the row of rings may be seen <BR>
with enthusiasm and joyous expectation and as individuals who now are <BR>
excited at the prospects of growth and accomplishment, you become willing <BR>
and eager to reach out and attempt the next transfer of your awareness. But <BR>
all this is accomplished because of your willingness, because of your <BR>
intention, because you are ready to be about this exercise of being engaged <BR>
players on the playground.<BR>
<BR>
So as a result of this eagerness to go out and play, to try to use the tools <BR>
in your toolbox, to be willing to receive that next insight to position <BR>
yourselves in the game so as to be a player, you provide the necessary <BR>
conduit for you to receive all that you seek in this process. But you are <BR>
right to observe that many a student on the playground harbors much <BR>
resistance and to those who are as of yet uncertain about their success, <BR>
they may be timid in reaching out for the next ring and transferring their <BR>
awareness until they have developed sufficient experience and understanding <BR>
to know that this is how the game is played; you must let go of that ring in <BR>
order to grab the next.<BR>
<BR>
It is a pleasure to join you in this circle of friends this morning and I <BR>
now withdraw to allow this platform to be used by others, farewell.<BR>
<BR>
Michael: [Kathy] When involved in every conflict of daily living, you are <BR>
able to separate your idea of what should happen from the actions that you <BR>
engage in with the other parties involved. You are the one that can step <BR>
back and remove your energy from the negative interaction with your brothers <BR>
and sisters. Many times when there is a conflict, the parties involved are <BR>
limiting their field of possible action. Each one has the idea of the <BR>
rightness of their concept of the situation. It is helpful for all parties <BR>
involved in conflict to clear a space in their thinking for expansion of <BR>
ideas and concepts.<BR>
<BR>
Usually there is an area of commonality that is sometimes overlooked in the <BR>
defense of ones position. In future days you will encounter conflicts that <BR>
develop in the way individuals want to frame their life experiences. As <BR>
change begins to happen on this world with increasing speed you will find <BR>
that more space will need to be created in your thinking for expanded views <BR>
of what is workable and possible in your lives. Often the idea of change is <BR>
bewildering to mortals who have been comfortable with one mode of action or <BR>
one view of possible ways of organizing group action.<BR>
<BR>
In future days you will find the necessity of letting go of some old ideas <BR>
in order to expand your new view of the reality of your surroundings. Change <BR>
can only happen in the direction of better outcome when some of the <BR>
restricting ideas that have been dominant are released and are expanded. <BR>
These exciting times of growth can be a time of joy instead of a time of <BR>
resistance and fear of change. You are encouraged to step boldly forward and <BR>
make space for a change towards love and light.<BR>
<BR>
Monjoronson: [Mark] Greetings, this is Monjoronson here to offer a few more <BR>
words with respect to this idea of creating space. As was mentioned in your <BR>
earlier discussion, the best method for creating space is to engage in the <BR>
practice of stillness which creates this openness wherein new awarenesses <BR>
and ideas even ideals may be made known to you. If you are busy in your <BR>
thought processes and even in your physical lives, then your minds and <BR>
perhaps even your bodies are engaged in performing functions and tasks and <BR>
therefore your energies are focused on such pursuits.<BR>
<BR>
Your available energies become directed at these accomplishments and <BR>
patterns and there is then very little room available for any modifications <BR>
to the pattern or any changes to the awareness. If you through active <BR>
intention create these gaps or these spaces where you are willing to lay <BR>
down your tasks and put aside your patterns even for small amounts of time, <BR>
you allow this great connection you have with your indwelling Adjuster, room <BR>
to get a word in edgewise so to speak for this activity of opening <BR>
yourselves up and then providing the willingness to embrace what you find in <BR>
this open space in the tool that you may use to accommodate this necessary <BR>
internal desire to enhance your perspective or to transfer your position <BR>
from this ring to that.<BR>
<BR>
It is accomplished in these moments where it may seem as though you are <BR>
trying to do nothing when in fact you are trying to be everything. It is <BR>
your method that may be employed, your tool in the toolbox were you to <BR>
exercise your faith that in this space which you have created for this <BR>
purpose you will be granted that which you seek, a deeper awareness, a <BR>
greater understanding, a different perspective because when you are in this <BR>
state of openness and acceptance the divine pattern which may be useful in a <BR>
more proper interpretation of the situation may be overlaid onto your <BR>
thought stream and all of a sudden there is more there than you were aware <BR>
of and as a result of your having put forth the effort to make a space for <BR>
awareness to occur there is greater awareness.<BR>
<BR>
But if one does not stop the freight train of thought, then there remains <BR>
little opportunity for the expansion of awareness that is a result of the <BR>
influence of divine pattern. One must stop the train of thought, of action, <BR>
of consciousness and have the benefit of the quiet space in which to <BR>
reorient yourself to the proper direction and speed and motivation that your <BR>
train of thought might take. This stopping to reorient yourself may be <BR>
likened to pulling your train of thought into the transfer yard where you <BR>
may refuel and reenergize and then redirect this train onto a new track and <BR>
into a new direction.<BR>
<BR>
This is only possible when you slow this train down and even bring it to a <BR>
stop so that it may be refueled, reenergized, redirected and start out fresh <BR>
with a new objective, a new ideal to maintain and a new direction in pursuit <BR>
of that ideal. So see your efforts at creating this space as such a <BR>
switching yard for your train of thought and as such you may decide to <BR>
pursue any one of a variety of directions after you have been refueled and <BR>
refreshed with this new perspective and awareness.<BR>
<BR>
I thank you for this opportunity to join you in this space that you create <BR>
for this activity. You all have shown your commitment to come together for <BR>
such a purpose and then each one individually to create the space to be here <BR>
in your consciousness and to embrace what may come of such a space created <BR>
for this purpose. As you have seen, as a result of your efforts to create <BR>
this space, there have been many joyful rewards just as if you have <BR>
completed your play at grasping the different rings.<BR>
<BR>
I encourage you all to go out and about and bring this sense of joy and <BR>
peace that you feel even now and allow it to influence your daily activities <BR>
and elevate your daily chores into the status that we have been discussing <BR>
of this grand game of life. Be at peace and be in joy and be in love with <BR>
the game and with the life you have to be a player in such a game. Thank you <BR>
for this opportunity, farewell.<BR>
<BR>
Olfana: [Kathy] I am responding to the call to live in joy. It is my utmost <BR>
pleasure to be in this group of shining souls. Be joyful and elevate the <BR>
level of joy in those about you.<BR>
