Elyon and others 4/27/97

[Rick P. Giles]

April 27, 1997
*       Malvantra (Jonathan):  In the courts of the of the Most
Highs it has been decreed that your system return to its intended
pursuit of light and life without the interference that you have
witnessed over these hundreds of thousands of years.  I repeat
this to you for, in your own process in development, it is easy
to lose the grander picture and to feel a sense of aloneness as
you struggle.  You are in a great family of beings who are grap-
pling with very similar difficulties.  Do note that the
difficulties of our system have been in reality only a stumble in
the forward momentum rather than a complete stop.  As we scramble
to put our feet beneath us once again, it is helpful to reach
toward each other and help hold each other to provide support,
for the momentum will carry you forward even through the
uncertainty of where you are stepping.  Therefore, as you
struggle individually, remind yourself of your community.  Know
that you have the fellowship who can embrace you and share lit-
erally and fully in the understanding of your complexities.
        This isolation does not mean orphanhood; it would be a
difficult task to describe to you how much the other systems in
Norlatiadek have helped poor Satania to recover.  Never has such
a status as quarantine caused any governing unit to turn its back
upon your worlds.  Know rather it is a very drawing point for
many who rush to your side.  
        It is an observed reaction in you all that when difficulty
arises, loneliness is often coincident with your struggles.  It
may prove hard to convince yourself of the support around you. 
Others appear to be functioning smoothly while you are troubled. 
This is a time to convince yourself of the mutual regard you all
possess for one another even if it is latent.  The human mind is
weak in its ability to maintain focus, and it often forgets to
acknowledge to one another this mutual regard.  Bear not your
difficulties alone but present them to your friends that they may
of service in return and that you may at another time be of
service to them.  
        This is Malvantra.  I am with you today and will remain so. 
Thank you.  
*       Elyon (Mark):  My dear ones, this is Elyon again with you
today.  I would take a moment with you to share in the reflection
of how magnificent and gracious is the gift of our communications
together.  
        As we have heard from Malvantra, yet another landmark has
been attained in which the Correcting Time has been more fully
instituted.  We who have been working together for some time now
will notice subtle changes in character of the spiritual pressure
experienced by this planet.  Those who have not been prepared for
this change will not know what exactly they are experiencing. 
You who are privileged to be aware of the timing and conditions
impending will be as stable isles to those who are unaware and
become unduly concerned over unapparent changes.  With each
landmark we pass in our progression toward the attainment of
light and life status, we see marked changes and increases in our
spiritual capacities, in our spiritual receptivity, in our
spiritual awareness.  These will become more and more profound
until those who are unaware become aware.  It will be your role
to provide these individuals with direction, to lovingly and
gently steer their interest and curiosity toward the spiritual,
toward the loving, harmonious spirituality you have come in
contact with.  
        Perhaps it could be said that there might be no more
interesting and enlightening time to be alive on your world than
the reopening of the circuits; the re-establishment of a darkened
planet is truly a profound experience, one which you all will
enjoy immensely and will greatly benefit from.  I once again
encourage you to expand your networks of affiliation to reach
beyond yourself, beyond your group into your brothers and sisters
around you, your network of support.  These spiritual pathways
are grown by you, are developed by you and are inherently helpful
to you once established.  There is so much more in the power of
suggestion, the power of visualization, than you are aware.  I
urge you to exercise this avenue available to you on a more fre-
quent basis so as to have in place these spiritual neural
networks among yourselves.  
        We have other teachers among us today available at your re-
quest - or perhaps at theirs - and of course we are here for your
questions and comments to be as helpful as possible. 
        Tom:  Does Jessona have any comment?
*       Jessona (Jonathan):  Greetings, my companion.  I assure you
once again of our partnership.  I consider you to be well versed
in the information all we teachers provide.  I encourage you
again to spread your knowledge freely without hesitation.  The
very trust you have in us will reflect to you how much trust we
have in you.  You realize how my order functions to promote
certain groups of humans to foster for your world developments
which will encourage light and life, and this I also ask of you,
to aid in gathering folk of spiritual desire so that they may
receive the upliftment and the focus that will help in spreading
the message which is good news to the hungry.  You asked for a
comment; I hope I have not over-whelmed.  
        Tom:  Thank you. 
        Evelyn:  You talked about expanding our network.  I'm
reading a New Age channeling book that has a very similar message
with what you teachers have been sharing with us.  So by
expanding our network, do you mean engaging with groups or
individuals who are receiving variations on messages such as
this?
*       Malvantra:  This has much to do with it, for in this
extension comes cross-fertilization and the reduction of the
tendency to encapsulate your view in terminology that is familiar
and forget, that is to fail to develop, the skill in translating
your understanding into different terminology.  Know that this
networking is two-way in direction, such that if you find you are
not in a position to reach out toward other sources, you can
receive from them, as you are now through your reading.  
        Part of the goal of the Correcting Time is to understand the
differences of many in your world; these differences are not
overcome by homogenization but rather through collectivation, a
respectful regard and trust in each one's effort to grasp at
realities that are high and beyond mortal comprehension yet do
manifest themselves in the human soul through your spiritual
longing.  There is another form of networking likewise that is to
the solitary travelers, those who affiliate with no particular
teaching.  They likewise do appreciate the sense of connection in
a brotherly sense.  Learn to recognize these individuals and
extend your hand in acknowledgement.  Does this help?
        Evelyn:  Yes, thank you. 
        Should we contact the other groups in our region to invite
them to transmit at the conference the Melchizedeks they have
been working with?  Is that what you would like to have for this
panel discussion?  
*       Malvantra:  I will let your teacher Elyon respond.
*       Elyon (Mark):  In the earlier discussion, your formulated
plans are very much acceptable to us.  We desire that you be
integral in the making of these plans.  Therefore, as you desire,
so shall it be.  As you know, we are always prepared to work with
whatever resources are ours to work with.  The suggestion of a
panel discussion was to institute a new idea for you to work
with.  You have embraced this idea and, however this occurs, we
will all make the most of it.  I would suggest that this be left
to the ones who desire to volunteer as opposed to any formal
commands of a TR.  However, I do not perceive this to be an
issue.  With the TRs we are familiar with we have yet to be
significantly turned down.  As with all your functions the level
of volunteering seems to exceed the need level, so this should be
in line with normal operating procedures. 
        Jonathan:  In encouraging people to step forward, would you
or the Melchizedeks like to share what you are speaking on so
that volunteers might have a sense of what they are volunteering
for?  Or is it more appropriate for the subject to remain
obscure? 
*       Elyon:  I have indeed previously divulged that there will be
some lessons on interactivity.  This can take many different
directions and could engage the group completely.  We are however
open to interests of the moment as well and are quite willing to
accommodate as time allows issues in the forefront of the group's
consciousness.  We hope for a good deal of interactivity among
individuals and groups, sets and subsets.  We are interested in
observing the function of the individuals, groups, and sets. 
        Jonathan:  Would it be appropriate to ask those who are
going to attend to have some prepared questions? You mentioned
group consciousness, perhaps you would like questions that
reflect the group as a unit rather than questions of a personal
nature.  Should we ask questions, and should they be focused in
that way?
*       Elyon:  Yes and yes.  We always are delighted when our
students come to class prepared and open to dialogue with us.  It
enhances the lessons and takes them to a different level.  We
desire, in the interests of time, to deliver our lessons and to
answer questions important to groups so as to have a maximum
number of individuals involved in the process.  Individual ques-
tions tend to be most important to the individual; group
questions are of interest to all the individuals present.  Simple
attention spans dictate that we consolidate to be most effective
during any one occurrence such as the upcoming panel discussion. 
So, we would most gladly welcome questions of a discerning
nature, particularly questions that the group has discussed and
formulated so as to have their interests and curiosity piqued.  I
encourage your planning in this direction.  
        Jonathan:  Thank you for that feedback.  
*       Elyon:  I would point out at this time that, while you
return to me and to us as teachers repeatedly for affirmations of
your direction and intent and desire that you note that repeat-
edly and continuously you spontaneously of your own accord have
generated the ideas which we then proceed to confirm.  We may
initially start the ball rolling with the suggestion of a panel
discussion, then you of your own accord, after discussion and
consideration, determine the best way about working the sugges-
tion, and I would salute you for your correctness in this regard. 
If you notice, when you truly desire to do the best thing in any
situation it will tend to spontaneously rise to the surface for
you to acknowledge and seize.  Well done with your discernment of
this process.  
*       unidentified (Mary):  I have some input on the subjects that
have been touched on today, one regarding the spiritual
networking and the establishment of networks amongst yourselves
and people outside the Teaching Mission, etc., and on the idea of
differences amongst individuals in any group.  
        The world stands in need of each one of your perspectives. 
Your perspective is valid whether or not it differs from the
perspective or approach of another individual.  The challenge to
each person is to acknowledge their own point of view and the
fact that it is valuable and to work out ways of sharing that
point of view with others.  You will find people that you mesh
with easily and with whom it all flows very nicely.  You will
also find personalities with whom it does not flow quite so
easily.  Don't fret over that.  The need is for you to find a way
to value each one of your perspectives and to not expect them to
be the same but to search for the common ground which usually
lies in the fact that we are all children of God.  God loves each
one of us.  He has certainly not made us all the same.  In
working as a family, in treating each other as brothers and
sisters, don't shy away from your differences; don't be afraid of
your differences.  Don't deny your differences, but learn to work
with them.  You will all find different ways of working with
them, but search for ways to work with people who are different
from you.  Pray for guidance.  When in doubt, in conflict, always
come back to the true source that you have been given to help you
in these situations.  Come to the Father, come to Michael. 
Through prayer let your struggle be voiced and open yourself to
ideas on how to approach your struggle.  We all need to branch
out and not be afraid to come in contact with people who are
different from us and who present a greater challenge than our
comfort zone.  
        You have all proven yourselves amenable to instruction; all
of the teachers are confident that you will continue to be so. 
The one piece of advice that might be given is to always double
check your motivation.  When you interact with someone with whom
you have differences, especially when trying to resolve con-
flicts, always double check to make sure your motive in acting on
these differences is one of love, of service.  
        These are challenging times in which you work with your ego
and your desire to be loving.  Don't be afraid to delve into
these realms, but always try to be sure of your motives and come
back to your true center of love in deciding on any action that
you deem necessary.   
        I would attempt to entertain any questions or comments on
this subject.                     Jonathan:  I appreciate your encouragement. 
One of my negative self talks is to say, "Who am I to say that to
someone?"  It's good to value what we know and to share that. 
There is no harm in that as long as we remove the tendency to
think that what I know should replace what someone else is
experiencing.
*       unidentified:  Yes, and please don't forget to value your
own opinions and your own experiences. 
        Tom:  In reference to a transcript awhile back, when we have
these doubts we can ask the teachers and the Father Within what
should I think, what should I say, what should I do, and how can
I perceive this differently?  I finally memorized that.  
*       unidentified:  We all have our own strengths and weaknesses
that come into play in our interactions with other individuals. 
In drawing on these strengths and weaknesses, understanding them
is part of what the exercise - that was guided by Gloria of
putting a piece of ourselves, where you take a piece of yourself
that you view as your strength and you put it into the center for
it to mesh with the strengths of the other individuals in the
group.  That is part of this exercise, learning to acknowledge
each other's strengths and draw from them.   
        Jonathan:  It's a tweak that you mention that exercise. 
I've been thinking that each of us is like a rail of a domed
birdcage, all meeting at the top with the handle held by God. 
The accumulation of these rails making this cage is our family
unit.  Through the connection at the top we can nurture each
other.  
*       unidentified:  That is a good visualization.  Another aspect
of that would be to envision that someone is on the opposite side
of the cage from you.  Each of your rails may be on opposite
sides, but, not only do they converge at the top, but they
balance each other in the whole.  
        Jonathan:  Even at the bottom there is a connecting ring
tying us all together.
*       unidentified:  We are standing with our feet on the ground
and our heads in the air.  This also ties in with the statement
or feeling that Michael expressed earlier that, as a personality
in group situations, sometimes he feels like he is a balancing
wheel.  This is part of our learning experience of learning how
groups work in interactivity.  Keep this in mind on this subject;
there is much to be gained from contemplating it.  
        Mark:  Are we speaking with Helen?
*       unidentified:  This TR doesn't like dealing with names.
