Elyon (Jonathan TR): I greet you today, I am Elyon. Today I would like to focus for a short while upon motivation and inspiration to contribute my thoughts toward your discussion regarding interacting with others and understanding behaviors that often do not mesh with your own, do not function in consonance with your own direction.

===Lesson===
Motivation is wholly a personal force. No one can force another to be motivated. One can encourage another. One can inspire another. One can offer incentives that will foster the impulse that is motivation. But it is in the end truly an act of free will. Being such, the possession of the personality and given that personality is wholly unique, motivation will be diverse. A group of people who choose to function together may at the outset appear to be uniformly motivated. However, as time passes and events occur, it is revealed the diversity of each individual's motivation to be involved. The secondary influences that attach to the shared purpose will reveal themselves.

When we address the spiritual cause to ascend to the Father, to leave the world upon which you dwell today a little better than when you were born into it, to let your discoveries of spiritual realities ooze into the lives of others, we can address inspiration as being from a single source: the Indwelling Spirit. This inspiration is the true bonding between personalities. Understanding that this spark of the Father ignites each soul and that it is the same within you as is within another, you can affiliate with an associate in spite of the personality's choice of free will to motivate in a direction that does not parallel your own.

Last lesson we discussed creativity. We placed it in the context of the growth of the Supreme. As the Supreme grows each one of you and myself are creating what we may call secondary supremacy realities, those that originate from yourself. These are the motivation actions; the Supreme is the inspirational fundamental to all this diversity.

One can be of assistance to another in effort to kindle the drive of motivation. You each do well at supporting one another in your purposes. But I once again direct you to the inner inspiration of the Father's Presence for the most direct input into fostering your motivation to be about the will of the Father and to bring this world closer to Light and Life.

You cannot be motivated to be effective without willingness, and willingness is of course a product of your will. The power and authority of the human will cannot be under-emphasised. It is the will, human will, that affords God's will to be done or not be done and to all the gradations of clarity of what His will may be for you, for each individual. One of you may be willing to go into the jungles while another of you is not. One of you may be better adapted to laboratories while another of you is not. Each of you has your own pattern of personality which you must abide by in order to be yourself, to best reflect those values which would be given to your behaviors in your personality expression. Human associations is a course that we will be involved with for a long time. Human Associations 101 is learning how to be the brotherhood of man. The ideals are inherent in your sonship. Your spiritual affinity and kinship is that which draws you to each other and upholds you each in your faith-path and in your fellowship. Yet the manner in which your perceived purpose is put into practice is the kaleidoscope of personality variation that gives rise to friction, frustration, and those agitations which will eventually give rise to greater understanding and ultimate growth towards that infinite ideal in which we place our faith and from whence comes our motivation.

The goodness of God is like a gingersnap cookie. It at first glance is hard and at first bite is sharp, but when it is drenched in the milk of human kindness in your genuine fellowship, it is soft, palatable, digestible, and infinitely pleasing. In your human associations, understand that you are gingersnap cookies and, while hard on the surface, you are all tasty when appropriately dunked in the human experience.
