SUBJECT: NO. IDAHO GROUP 7-11-04

T/R: MARK ROGERS

TEACHER: JESSONA

SUBJECT: BECOMING EFFECTIVE SPIRIT GUIDES

Our group was split due to a phone mix-up so this session was one of two
separate transmissions from the same group on July 11. Since there were only
2 of us..on this side...it turned into a personal session which is not
included, however Mark asked a question before he started so as not to break
his concentration and the reply was thought to be useful to all.

Mark: How do we bridge the gap between those of us who have experience in
contacting the spirit presense and familiarity with it, to those who so
clearly desire this experience and who appear to be eager and ready for this
encounter in their experience. I perceive in my life that there are
individuals around who are very close to a spiritual breakthrough and my
question is...how then do I play a significant role, or any role in the
fostering and development of this connection of another to the spirit
presense? I am open to any responses that I would receive.

Jessona: You have secured my presense with your request. This is Jessona.
Like the others on my side of the curtain, I desire most wholeheartedly to
work with you as individuals whenever and however these circumstances come
to fruition. Your sincere seeking and searching has in fact produced the
fruits of the very contact of this hour and therein is where you look to
find the answer to your question as to how this interface we enjoy even now
occurs.

Transmitter/receivers, or simply receivers, you still engage in the
physiological response of uncertainty as to what exactly to expect in this
arena of spirit. Your experience throughout this time has provided you with
some semblance of paraameters in which this activity may function, but even
so, you approach each time and every time with some degree of human
apprehension and  this element of your human nature is the element which
your brothers and sisters likewise struggle with in this approach toward the
experience of spirit reality.

This should provide you with a degree of understanding and compassion for
all those who have not received the benefit of your exposure repeatedly to
this process wherein you have developed some sense of comfort and ease but
wherein most individuals are in uncertain and uncharted territories. To the
traveler who has been bold enough to experiment and to discover and to
explore new regions of territory, they may wonder why the inexperienced,
untraveled individual would view the voyage with apprehension and even fear.

Having explored and discovered the element of doubt, uncertainty, and fear
has been overcome by personal experience, to the inexperienced traveler to
be, the journey ahead appears fraught with uncertainty and possible danger.
The learned explorer may try in some capacity to ease the concerns of the
inexperience, but with only some degree of success, as it is a matter of
personal experience which in the end settles the doubt and uncertainty.
Therefore should you understand that your siblings in this lifes journey are
simply nervous about the journey and its potential experiences because they
have not seen and are only hearing fragments of this reality through your
interpretation.

Their interpretation might well be quite different than yours, and your
explanation of your experience may help to ease some apprehension but will
not provide for them any completeness of experience as they themselves make
the journey and discover for themselves the security and safeness of their
exploration. They will become reconciled to the appropriateness of this
journey in their lives. When you are exposed to the experiences of anothers
travel, say through a slide presentation or a discussion of their journeys,
it may serve to whet your appetitie for experiencing what they have
encountered, and  this is your privilege to those around you who have not
made your journey.

When they come in contact with you and you are able to relate the experience
of approaching spirit and its affect on your lives, they will become eager
to gain this experience as well, and like the traveler to distant lands, it
is important to relate to them the safety of your experience and the
attendant benefits you derived from your exploration into this realm. In
this manner, you may whet their appetite but you may not substitute your
experience for what they must encounter in their own lives and possess as
theirs. You may act as tour guide, you may suggest avenues of approach and
points of interest to dwell on, but in the end, each individual traveler
will decide their own itinerary, their own stops and choose their own
experience.

That is how you, as a tour guide to the spirit realm, may most effectively
function in the presense of others who are eager to take this journey. Not
as one who would provide them with experience, but rather as one who would
guide them into the experience for themselves. Not as one who would draw up
a step by step travel plan, but rather as one who would offer suggestions
and techniques that are helpful and then would rely on the choices of the
individual to fill out their own itinerary. This question is quite
serviceable for the time in which we are engaged in this grand experiment
together. Many will come seeking a journey and not be aware of what exactly
they are seeking, where exactly they would go, and what exactly they would
do when they got there.

You as ones who have enjoyed this experience, have traveled this road
before, are stations along the path to provide guidance and comfort as these
travelers journey outside their comfort realm and into the lands of spirit
reality that you  have come to know. Assure them  of the safety and
certainty of this journey. Delay any fears of doubts they might have about
taking such a journey. Suggest to them the details of your experience which
have been most effective, and then point them on their way. Let them make
their journey under their own steam, and with their own internal spirit
guide. Do not see their journey as in any way your responsibility, or
somehow a reflection on your presentation, should they decide not to journey
as you have expressed, but rather much as the attendent at an amusement park
ride, simply provide them with instruction, and guidance, and information as
they request, desire and need, and allow them to enjoy the experience of the
ride for themselves.

If they do not choose to engage that particular avenue of experience, it is
not a reflection on you as a tour guide or as one who would represent spirit
realm, it is merely a reflection of their level of spiritual growth and
their willingness for spiritual understanding. Therefore your jobs are
simple and straightforward. Be honestly who you are, to express sincerely
your own personal experience, and to offer your services in whatever
capacity another may desire in your capacity to guide them down the path
that you have tread in your life, realizing that their path will  be
different, their paths will be unique to them, but they may recognize
certain milestones and certain landmarks that you will point out to them
along the journey, and having traversed  their own personal journey, to
welcome them as experienced travelers in the realm and likewise commision
them as I do you now, to help as tour guides and this is how person by
person, the experience of spirit will permeate your world.

The Father has instilled within these travelers, the desire to roam. It is
but your privilege and your responsibility to provide guidelines and
illustrations and suggestions for how another may have the most complete
experience, and then to withdraw and allow for personal individual
expression as they make their own journey. Realizing the limitations of your
capacity in this regard should free you from any sense of responsibility in
the effectiveness of anothers journey and lighten your  burden so that you
may become a joyful guide and therefore be a more effective guide. I trust
that serves to answer the question as I realize it is difficult  to work
this two-way communication circuit that we have developed.

I welcome this opportunity to engage you as a trail guide for you as
individuals, though you have tread a good distance into this, my realm of
spirit, you have a great distance to traverse. I stand along the path
seeking to engage ones such as yourselves as you come up the path, to
encourage you forward, to pass on the benefit of my experience and then to
leave the journey itself up to you. I witness you are eager travelers who
have benefitted greatly from significant time spent in exploration of this
realm which has served to quell your uncertainties and doubts to a great
degree, but not to a complete degree, and therefore do we evermore encourage
you to keep a sense of exploration and inquisitiveness so that you will
always want to know what is over the next ridge and  around the next bend so
that your soul may be the greater expanded.

I point out that even with your limited experience, you have already gained
the appreciation of the safety and security of this land of spirit that you
explore. You have learned that there are no harmful fates to befall you, no
enemies to catch you off guard, only the certainty of spiritual growth and
the sense of accomplishments in this growth of your soul for which you labor
as you make your way up and down your trails.
