Elyon (Mark TR): I greet you today. This is Elyon, and I would [[change]] the [[pace]] slightly and ask that you join me in a moment of [[gratitude]] and [[worship]], for today is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Father%27s_day Fathers Day] and it is entirely appropriate that we spend a moment in [[recognition]] and awareness of [[the Father]] of all.

Dear Father of [[fathers]], we acknowledge your [[light]] and your [[love]] to the very [[boundaries]] of our [[abilities]]. We understand your [[divinity]] to our full capacity. We seek only in our [[journey]] to you that we more fully grasp who you are and more fully [[become]] day by day all that we are to become. We realize that this journey is your gift to us, Father, and we [[understand]] that our only significant gift or contribution we make will be our journey and the accumulated [[experiences]] you have set out so generously for us. We ask to fully [[engage]] this experience that we may live to the fullest and contribute our experiences back to you, the one who has made them all possible. We [[realize]] this is a [[certainty]], and we look forward with great [[love]] and [[anticipation]] to the fulfillment of this [[destiny]].

Today I would say a few words about reinforcement, particularly positive reinforcement. As you know as an aspect of your [[dual]] nature, all [[animals]] on your world respond to [[tones]] [[instinctively]] and without [[consideration]]. They are either drawn to or away from any situation largely based upon the tones that are used in creating the situation. Your [[words]] can be viewed as less significant than the tone of [[voice]], the phrasing, the welcoming, you provide in their delivery. You must [[grow]] to understand that it is not so much the specifics of what you say but the [[love]] with which you say them. When said with a loving, [[devotional]], tone your words take on the tones of a heavenly [[song]] which draws the hearer ever deeper to you as they are instinctively pulled toward your [[positive]] tones. Likewise, using stern or [[negative]] images has the [[opposite]] effect of repelling your listener away, even [[unconsciously]]. It is much as drawing a horse out of the stable one uses soothing, calming tones to [[assure]] the animal that there is no cause for [[danger]] or for fear. Using sharp, abrupt tones sends an animal into frenzied flight unconsciously.

Those are my words for today, and I know of your appreciation for my lessons and my [[service]] to you. I send you my appreciation for your service to me and to [[the mission]], as well. I step aside to allow for others.

Mark: I'm curious what any teacher might say about this upcoming [http://www.rcim.org/RCIM/Welcome.html Rob Cricket] presentation. I notice it pushes certain buttons with some people. I'm trying to fit all that in [[positively]] and appropriately.
