*	Michael (Mark TR):  This is Michael, and I desire to be among you at this
time.  I would have you, each and every one, know that I recognize the
individual
and collective petitions you offer to me and to our Father.  They are warm and
genuine, and I accept them in the spirit in which they are offered.
	I would recall to you that you observed in the recounting of my life's
story that when those desires that I had as an individual were not in conflict
with the will of the Father, then great things were made to happen as a
result of
my own individual desire in conjunction with the will of the Father.  I state to
you here this day that you as well may enjoy the leading of your hearts and
of my
Fragment within you and may find these desires to be consistent with the will of
the Father in your life mission.  When this occurs you too will see great things
happen in your lives.  As I desire to withhold nothing from you, neither
does the
Father.  We simply await your recognition and ability to manifest these
desires. 
As you attempt to reach and grow, your ability to coordinate these desires
grows,
and the frequency of harmony between your desire and that of the Father becomes
harmonious.
	Great spiritual power is at your fingertips to be exercised in the name of
this mission we are engaged in and in the name of our Father in heaven.  You
will
discover more and more your relationship to this source and your relative
ability
to function within this power.  This is a skill each of you grows through time
and will be a fundamental and basic principle you will take with you throughout
your journey to the Father.  You believe in my words, and now you must know, you
must exercise, this supreme faith and realize that the change is within you to
accept as reality these conditions.
	Faith is of paramount importance in this process, and each of you has been
developing strong faith muscles that will serve you well in the coming times. 
Exercise these muscles, flex these muscles, attempt to do maneuvers never before
attempted.  Believe that you can.  Know within your being of a certainty that
this spiritual force can be accessed, and you will discover many ways of
interfacing with this higher energy source.
	You all are as my beloved children looking up to me in a circle at my feet,
and I look down to you and I see such grace and such beauty and such smiling,
loving countenances that I am, indeed, moved to teach you, to reach to you
as you
reach for me.  I will not withhold the desire of your heart to grow, to expand,
and to be of service to me and the mission before us.  Do not fear that I will
not call you to be of service, because each of you has been called, and each of
you has most faithfully reported to the call.  Now it is left for us to put one
foot in front of the other and learn to take the steps so as to provide the
growth, so as to provide the love.  You are my flock whom I am very fond of.  I
give you my word that I will see this through with you as will my
assistants.  We
will do our best to fulfill the desires of your hearts, the longings of your
souls, and the experience will be richly rewarding for all of us.
	I thank you for your commitment to me, to our Father.  We share this; it is
another bond we have together.  We share so many things that you will come to
realize in time.  For now know that my love pours down upon you as does the love
of our Father.  Your efforts to find Him and to find me shall be rewarded in
great abundance.  I know that you trust my words in this regard.   Now I ask you
to have complete faith that this is so, so that it may be so.  Thank you, my
dear
ones.  I love you.
*	Elyon (Jonathan):  How fitting it is, my friends, to be again in the
presence of our Michael.  You among many do realize his ever-presence, however,
to take a moment as this and mutually, consciously, embrace one another is a
time
to cherish, a time to infuse your being consciously with this presence of
Michael
for not only those events of the future wherein you reach to him for recharging
and support and need, but also such that your joy of accomplishment and the
exhilaration of success may be even more greatly enhanced as you can reach
to him
and share as does a little child the accomplishments you make with your Parent.
	This is Elyon.  Today I wish to discuss some factors that play into
decision making.  I view it appropriate, as you mark the turn of your
calendar --
and it is often on the minds of many human beings -- that  a new start may
be had
simply because the day is considered part of another year.
	Within the human being the primary operating system is the personality. 
Without this overriding and controlling presence that you are, all other
subsystems would lose their meaning and function.  It is quite important to all
of you, the development of your soul, for you realize, each of you, that this
emerging reality is your passport to the morontia realms.  This is the
accomplishment to be had in the human life above all career successes, above all
other events that you can undertake to make your human life worthwhile.
There is
no thing you will take with you but this that you will become.
	I would like to delineate, if only for the academics, the difference
between choice and decision.  You, the personality, have two functions in this
regard.  Firstly, since your priority is the co-creation with the Father's
Presence of this soul, your future self; every choice in your life should be
compared to this goal of growth and morontia attainment.  As you place value
upon
situations that you hope for, living conditions that you strive to better, you
are creating what I would call a priority list for soul growth, and these are
items on a list that I would call "values".  You do not in your mind simply
decide to do the will of the Father; you choose in your soul to do the will of
the Father and your mind decides how to go about this dedication of yours.
Every
one of you makes the same choice, and each of you decides quite differently how
to demonstrate your choice to the Father.
	The beauty of the whole mechanism of the Supreme is that everyone makes
that same decision to be the Father's child consciously and wholeheartedly, and
yet throughout the vast realms whereupon the Supreme plays out the will of the
Father, we are all creating unique, decisive realities, one same choice in an
infinite array of outworking.
	To one on the other side of your world the choice is the same.  Whether it
be cloaked in different words, the choice remains identical.  Yet you see how
much different each of your traditional religions have developed based on this
one, singular, deep longing.
	I can love you only as Michael loves you, as your brother.  Michael loves
you only as can the Father, and this is significant.  This is worth deep
contemplation.  My love for you is born of my decision to be eventually
considered a Paradise citizen, to dwell in the Father's house.  As a secondary
decision I choose to love every individual I encounter and to seek more
individuals with whom I may express this love.  But I can only do it as a
brother, and you can only receive my love as a friend and a brother.  But
Michael, my friends, he is not only your brother, he is your father.  When he is
among you, you can be assured that the Father is equally present, not simply as
that mysterious, indwelling Fragment of infinity and absoluteness, but as that
ever-loving parent who cares for each child and for all of you en masse.
	What you choose increases the values of your soul.  What you decide upon
increases the wisdom of your mind.  It is my observation that you all seek to
become wise souls.  This is accomplished through the coordinating presence of
your personality, that which you are this very day.
	When perplexities confront you and your mind whirls with the variables, the
possibilities of which way to turn, what decision to make; pause, reflect, for
just one moment.  What are your choices?  What are your values?  These will
clarify what will be your decisions, what these values mean to you and how these
superimposed values will clarify the many distinctive parameters of your
quandary.  It is not unlike crawling through the brambles and finding a little
knoll, a little rise, that you may climb upon to look above and overview it all
and thereby more clearly discern your path.
	Thank you for receiving me.  I am always happy to be here.
	Mark:  Thank you.  You provide us a boost in the thicket to peer out over
the maze we go through in our daily lives.  You do this as a true friend and a
servant in the mission.  For this we are extremely grateful.
*	Elyon:  I receive your love warmly.
	Mark:  My dad is having physical difficulty.  Is there some way I can reach
out to him to bring him some comfort?
*	Jessona:  I greet you.  This is Jessona.  It appears appropriate for me to
address this question for you today.
	As Elyon has expressed his lesson, I would like to apply it to your
question and offer the advice that this individual, your human father, while
undergoing these physical difficulties, has around him experts who may address
these complications, who may offer methods to reach solutions to bring about
normalcy, to inhibit degeneration, destruction.  But ultimately the primary,
vital factor is that he choose to accept what is offered in service, and that
everything offered in this ministry to him he is the one who must place into
action.  He is the one who must make the decisions to change, to accept that all
that may be bestowed upon him from the lateral direction of his human associates
and from the descending direction of the celestial attendants, all hinge and
pivot upon his willingness to pursue, to rise above, to accept, and to
accommodate this energy and this love.
	You are trained and wise enough to creatively express this understanding to
him.  It is oftentimes felt by the human animal engaged being that forces
are far
greater, far stronger, than the frail human self; that one has no strength to
battle what confronts you.  True, there are forces far greater than the single
individual, but there are hosts of ministering beings who are capable of
altering
the forces about you.  But it is the decision and the will of the receiving
human
being that makes any of it likely to happen at all.
	Mark:  Is it more appropriate to think of communicating with him on the
level of teacher contact or the personal, human to human, level?
*	Jessona:  Approach him as your son, for, as his son, he believes in you. 
Every good parent believes in their offspring.  Theories and conjectures may not
speak to him, but your love and your concern will reach him.  Express to him
such
love and such concern that would rally his own love and concern for his
betterment.  Remind him that every individual is free to enter into a
relationship with the universe Creator under their own terms, for the Father
realizes that every child must develop his own understanding of who he is long
before anyone will understand who he actually is, that no mistake is being made,
that no tradition must be adhered to, that simply if he seeks and looks deep
within himself he will begin a relationship that is his and his alone.  It won't
be an easy task, for you are relying on the kindling of truth and the fostering
of faith.  But this is the central, primary cure to his ailment.
	I, then, encourage you to approach him as yourself, however, you may spend
some time in stillness and engage yourself with our circuits and we would stand
as your aids, to run your errands, and to amplify your expressions.
	Mark:  I understand.  I wonder if it is ever appropriate to act as a TR
without them being aware.  Do the teachers or Michael wish to communicate with
any individuals I contact?
*	Jessona:  We are counseled to give advice when asked for, and, when applied
to this medium of communication, it is best if the receiving individual desires
and seeks our counsel.  If you are seeking solutions for another, and do so on
your own, you will receive from us counsel that will enlighten you, will
bring to
you greater understanding, and it will be expressed within your field of
comprehension.  This information is not always easily translatable into a form
expressible to the other individual.  But I would not discourage you from using
your technique taught a few years back of "open eye" transmitting, for then this
individual is seeking to commune and to converse with you, and you are
reciprocating.  We are again hovering in the background helping you.
	When another directly asks, then we are at greater liberty to step forward
and to be more directly accessed, as you are doing this very minute.  But until
then you must be our translator; you must receive and then re-express.
	Mark:  I understand.  I have more faith in your ability to answer these
questions than my own, which is why I would like to access you.  I trust you
will
be there.
*	Jessona:  You do have great faith, my friend.  Your faith has brought you
into relationships that have strengthened your faith as you have walked your
walk.  This is an endeavor that has spanned years, years of diligent dedication
to understanding truth and to express goodness as you come to grasp it at any
point in your journeys.  When one is in need of the ministry you seek to
give and
know full well we are here with you to provide this ministry, do realize that
another individual's faith may lie only in their love and trust of you. They
have
not done the rigorous training that you have to be able to reach for
something so
seemingly intangible as a presence like myself.  This will come in time, and it
comes through you sharing directly your experience with us, cautiously,
discerningly, not so much to impress the other that they must or ought to seek
direct engagement but that they may begin to entertain that this is something
that others do and benefit greatly.  You ought(?) witness of your own
preferences
of receiving such ministry and share that, knowing full well that residing
within
this other is a freewill individual who can choose and who has the presence of
the Father with him.
	We look forward to working with you, and we know that with your concern we
can accomplish good things.
*	Elyon:  This is Elyon.  Michael has many times said, "My peace I bring to
you."  "My peace I bestow upon you"  and for you to "go forth in peace".  He has
said that he came to bring peace to this world.  This will not be peace among
committees and governments until the peace he brings to each of you is taken to
the world where you, yourself, are the embodiment of this peace.  This is a
solemn task.  It is not weighty, for it is the master who brings this peace with
you.
	I will now withdraw.  Until next time, take care.
