*Steps 7 and 8 continuing from the six steps above
 +
===='''''[[Ascension]]'''''====
 +
7. The [[reluctance]] to let go of something you have [[enjoyed]] is counterbalanced by our joy in [[leading]] you on; it is like pulling in the big fish. You will know our joy, and more, once you have landed on the shores of [[Salvington]], the [[morontia]] world. Something dies for every [[trophy]], but [[death]] is not unwelcome. Death, your death, is a [[celebration]] among those of us who have followed every [[step]] of your life. You have come [[home]] to a [[mansion world]] of [[love]]. Those left behind [[practice]] overcoming [[grief]] and entering into [[the kingdom]] of [[faith]] on earth. [[The Father]] in heaven resides in their [[hearts]] to give them [[comfort]]. Alive, you give everyone reason to love, to [[share]] the experience of [[communion]] with you, if that is your [[choice]]. In [[death]] you provide the [[opportunity]] for the [[discipline]] of love, which is faith, as you [[ascend]] into a world of so much [[light]] that you no longer doubt.
 +
===='''''[[Love]]'''''====
 +
8. [[Violence]], or [[violation]] of another, does not exist among us. That is because All Understanding is brought to each situation without [[doubt]]. There is no need for doubt because the [[light]] [[clarifies]] everything is love. When love [[dominates]], violence may ensue. When love permeates all, violence disappears. There are no [[shadows]] to fool you, [[deceive]], create mistakes. We do not achieve [[perfection]] in everything we do, because we are perfecting [[beings]] like your selves. We strive to [[communicate]] as best we can, [[cooperating]] with you, pleased with every [[gesture]] you make and every bell we ring. You can [[forgive]] [[violence]] with [[love]], but you can not [[tolerate]] it. How to stop violence? With the understanding that it is generated from [[violation]], of the [[law]], of the inherent [[right]] of every being to be loved and to know what it is to be loveable. That is, teach love. Teach it in the [[schools]], the [[prisons]], the [[market]] place. Do not teach that love demands a rigid [[adherence]] to one God, but that one God loves through all. This is of utmost importance, that [[your planet]] begin to [[understand]] that God is not [[segregated]] into different kinds of One God. Rather, God permeates all with his love, and hers as well, and that God should appear to be one way or another is a differentiation between peoples, not between different aspects of God, or different Gods. Come to the table with you hands washed of all [[prejudice]], yet demand that your food be clean of all dark spots. To exclude others from your [[religion]], or your [[family]], is like the rotten spot on your food, decay has set in due to the over-length of time you have given to it. All religions must [[grow]] at this time and allow the table to be clean from scraps of past meals. The [[banquets]] have been great. But let the digestion be thorough. Eliminate that which no longer need be consumed and enter into the [[communion]]. The communion of [[love]] [[embraces]] each and every one.
   −
LET GO
+
Do not [[fear]] to be loved. Whenever a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trap_door trap door] has opened, the perpetrator has suffered as well as the fallen one. [[Examine]] how the trap doors were made, but do not overmuch [[study]] the [[motivation]]. Set your sights on the [[goal]] of love and these things will be shown: goodwill is everywhere misunderstood, yet goodwill resides in each and every one. That is a [[puzzle]] is it not? Will it serve you to study why the puzzle was made? Or to solve the puzzle by your own [[experience]] of [[love]] and [[the fruits]] of your goodwill? The [[violent]] [[act]] can be understood, and [[understanding]] is the eternal [[act]] of [[forgiveness]] in your moment of [[time]], your moment of [[grief]], [[anger]], [[surprise]]. Be surprised by [[joy]] and you will find the way. Joy overcomes all [[tragedy]] with love.

7. The reluctance to let go of something you have enjoyed is counterbalanced by our joy in leading you on; it is like pulling in the big fish. You will know our joy, and more, once you have landed on the shores of Salvington, the morontia world. Something dies for every trophy, but death is not unwelcome. Death, your death, is a celebration among those of us who have followed every step of your life. You have come home to a mansion world of love. Those left behind practice overcoming grief and entering into the kingdom of faith on earth. The father in heaven resides in their hearts to give them comfort. Alive, you give everyone reason to love, to share the experience of communion with you, if that is your choice. In death you provide the opportunity for the discipline of love, which is faith, as you ascend into a world of so much light that you no longer doubt.
+
Once again you have [[trusted]] that we are here and you have asked for [[assistance]]. Assistance is [[communication]], sustaining the connection is your assistance to me, Olfana. Yes, I am Olfana and I have come to you to [[surprise]] you by the joy of [[discovery]], the discovery that you are connected to a stream of [[thought]], a river of communication, that will never stop, no matter how strong your [[doubts]]. The [[ocean]] is vast and we ride every [[wave]]. Our goal is not selective. All are favored ones, here, and there among you. Open your [[hearts]] to this one [[truth]], love does not [[abandon]]. Love can be seen behind the [[shadows]] of [[doubt]]. Beyond the shadows of [[death]]. [[Transcending]] the shadows of fear. Love is your faithful [[companion]]. I am here. And well so, Alana, and your beloved Devina.
   −
Give Love, Accept Love
+
This is Devina. My [[love]] for you is boundless. Allow my love to paint your [[heart]] with [[joy]], the flowers [[dancing]], the [[sunshine]] entrancing the butterflies and the bees. You come out of the rain cleansed. My robes sweep around your [[pathway]] as well as directly leading the way. Do not [[fear]], my [[happiness]] in your success is complete. Thank you, for your [[faith]] and for your willingness to come, time and again to the table to eat with me. God [[blesses]] you and all of us with his love, and yes, hers is replete, the two are one, the [[parent]] is two. And so there are always two sides, are there not? Mine and yours, his and hers, yet the love [[energy]] is only one current, one connection resting in every heart.

+
That is all for now. We thank you for this [[opportunity]] to speak. Pray this: Oh Father let us hear your [[word]]. Dear Mother [[bless]] our hearts with your love. I [[surrender]] my limited vision to the [[guidance]] of the inner I. [[Amen]].
 +
===='''''[[Practice]]'''''====
 +
Yes, my friend, this is another one speaking. Keep your [[journal]], fill in the empty places. Your [[goal]] is to sit each day and wait. When you remind yourself that you have not given that I time to God, you increase your [[discipline]] by [[listening]] to your own reasons and [[forgiving]] them. Forgetfulness is the [[habit]] of non-communication. Continue to wait and listen, we are here and giving you every benefit of our love. The [[doubt]] is yours to pierce through like the airplane through the [[cloud]] that may tremble but does not waver from its true [[course]]. We will help you overcome those moments of doubt and fear and [[reluctance]]. [[Anger]] is no different than the self-destructive habit of forgetting and eating that which is not yours to eat, not beneficial to your [[body]], not what your true choice would be without the forgetting to [[blind]] you to your inner I. Ten minutes a day. You have [[discovered]] the silliness of thinking that too much to [[endure]]. Now it is yours to discover the silliness behind [[failure]] to do this every day. Why turn away from such [[joy]] as you feel when you know your hands and your heart and your [[trusting]] mind are [[engaged]] in one of the most wonderful tasks on earth, the [[communion]] with [[the Father]] and the [[communication]] of the Father's love? Continue this [[path]], my loved one, and those loved ones yet to hear these words: We are with you, always and forever, on your [[journey]] to [[Paradise]], the true love of God be with you evermore, [[Amen]].
 +
===='''''[[Growth]]'''''====
 +
What you are doing is [[growing]] into both sides of yourself, your selves and God, the [[mother]] and the [[father]], the son(s) and the daughters of [[time]]. Your [[journey]] is well tended, attended by all, teachers and providers. Come forth, little ones, and your [[hearts]] shall be fulfilled. My name is Legion, and my heart is one with [[the Father]]. You do not need to [[understand]]. Your [[faith]] will take you to me every time. That is my will and thine. Faltering [[steps]] are the characteristic of the [[growing]] child. Be [[kind]] unto yourself, as I am kind. Shalom.
 +
===='''''[[Teacher Contact]]'''''====
 +
Go in [[peace]] and tend to the little flowers, nurture the bed [[soil]], the bed of your [[growth]]. We have said many times, do not [[fear]] to let it lay [[fallow]], but attend to the time for resurgence. Even the [[stillness]] must be kept alive with your [[thought]] to turn to it. In every moment we are there, between the [[thought]] and the act of turning, the act of [[quiet]]. We slip in, as it were, between the stillness and the turning to quiet the [[mind]]. The parent relishes that [[silence]] of the child, as much the parent relishes the child's [[waking]] into the active life. Both are [[necessary]] to you and to me; your stillness and your forgetful tangles with life. Be forgiving of all your mistakes, your absences and denials. We await your coming with delight and only love resides here to greet you. ([[Smiling]]) This is pleasant news, is it not? Thank you, Alfana speaking.

The violent act can be understood, and understanding is the eternal act of forgiveness in your moment of time, your moment of grief, anger, surprise.Be surprised by joy and you will find the way. Joy overcomes all tragedy with love.

TR: I started to settle back, thinking the transmission was done. But my mind stumbled over the similarity of Alfana to a combination, which I thought to be a mistake, of Olfana and Alana, and I began to [[change]] what I had written, [[thinking]], it must be Alana. This was their response:
   −

+
Yes, we are playing hide and seek with you, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peek_a_Boo peek-a-boo] games to rid you of your [[fear]] that [[names]] are important and you must name each one of us correctly. [[Listen]] only. That is your task and your [[pleasure]]. We are [[training]] you as you are training yourself to get out of the way of [[love]]. Does it matter what love's name? Does it matter through whom love comes? Give love and you shall [[receive]]. Your love for the mission, your love for us grows.

+
This is the end, but not the end of your [[practice]] which is, daily, hourly, to remember me. There is not enough [[memory]] to complete that operation, it is an active practice, on your knees, in your walking, and between every word you speak. [[Remember]] me and I am there with you. To remember [[Michael]]'s message, love one another as I have loved you, is to remember him, the son of [[the Father]], the brother to you, my sister. [[Amen]].
   −
That is all for now. We thank you for this opportunity to speak. Pray this: Oh father let us hear your word. Dear mother bless our hearts with your love. I surrender my limited vision to the guidance of the inner I. Amen.
+
You are tired now, and so we will leave you, until refreshed and newly [[determined]] you return to us to partake of the meal, the [[assimilation]] of [[love]] into all that you do, feel, see, and say. Quite a [[banquet]], eh? ([[Smiles]])
