===Lesson===

In the [[morontia]] and [[seraphic]] realms purpose is obvious to us all; our purpose is clear to us. On [[this world]] of yours each individual must discover and then devote themselves to their purpose; indeed it is one of your highest tasks in this mortal life. [[Purpose]], in this instance, can be equated to [[dreams]], your deep inner longings of [[service]]. You have truly a rare [[opportunity]] in your short terrestrial lives to [[discover]] from the outside in what your true and highest purpose is. Often you will find as you [[mature]] that your purpose seems to [[change]], and you begin to feel you have devoted yourself to a new purpose. With more maturity you repeat the [[process]] again and again until you one day realize that indeed your initial purpose is what your [[eventual]] purpose is too. All of the seeming sidesteps were but educational and experiential opportunities for you to learn and [[grow]] and acquire new levels of [[knowledge]] and [[wisdom]] along the way.

Simon: These purposes seem far away to be realized, even one [[step]] at a time.

Can you comment on the gap between Michael's mission and things like holding on to [[faith]] and [[hope]], and other [[purposes]] like [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-point_energy zero-point energy], better mechanical things, better living for everybody, better educational opportunities etc.

Solonia: A key point is never wait until you think you are ready, for indeed it is the testing and the [[strengthening]] of your [[faith]] which gets you these seemingly unreachable goals. The [[desire]] to reach for something which appears so far beyond you can be strong enough if you are willing to take a step. What would I have to do first, given my present situation? Reason it out. Take that step. Steps follow, but it is only your faith that you are striving towards your Father's will for you that truly pulls you forward and allows this higher [[purpose]] to evolve, if you will.

Elyon (Jonathan): This is Elyon. I wish to also interject some comments in regard to the [[purpose]] that God seeks in this [[experience]] of finite [[evolution]].

Picture, if you will, a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rope rope]. At one end is God's reach into the realm of finite existence. At the other are all creatures, myself and yourself. [[Eventually]] this rope will fully manifest from the invisible [[potentials]] of absoluteness; it will materialize all along its length. This is [[time and space]]. You and I are filaments within this [[Supreme]].

You and I are filaments within this [[Supreme]].

Each filament has its own [[limitations]]. Each one of us has received [[talents]] and gifts from God all in various [[proportions]] and [[ratios]]. When you in mind discern the [[ideals]] of the purpose of God in time and space, you are able to [[perceive]] more than that which you can accomplish or [[manifest]] in your life. It is therefore the pursuit of the [[individual]] creature to maximize to one's limits the inherent potentials of [[self]] and to rejoice in the understanding that many of your fellows will fill in as another filament within the rope of [[Supremacy]] to make the continuity to fully realize the manifestation of God's purpose and our pursuit of Him in [[time and space]].

Q: If there are no other questions, may I request a prayer from sister Solonia or Elyon to end the session, please.

Elyon (Jonathan): Father, you have displayed before us all a stupendous [[manifestation]] of your [[creative]] abilities which we are [[privileged]] by your [[grace]] and [[mercy]] to venture across and through. You know that your identity as the [[I AM]] Creator is beyond our ability to [[perceive]]. Therefore You have revealed to us in the complex universe that which we can approach to [[ascend]] into your presence. Thank you for this bestowal of creation and for our life within it.
