* Elyon (Jonathan TR): Greetings to you, this is Elyon. Just to let you know, in case you don’t, I am always happy to be with you, to draw together and experience our common association with Father.

Everyone we have a chance to meet is a deep discovery, as time unfolds for each one of us, of the beauty and infinity of the Father’s creative abilities. So it becomes an eternal intrigue to not only meet more of our Father’s children but to learn more deeply each one.

Today I am going to use mirrors as a focus for my lesson. If we begin with the first fact that God is, that all things proceed from God, and that no thing before Him exists; it must be that all things are in some way God. Yet it is observable that the universe of reality is not a precise replica of all that is God. It may be a fairly good reflection of deity’s projection. It may be an extension of the divine presence, but it ! cannot be all that is while yet reflecting much of Him. This is where my picture of a mirror comes in, for you know when you stand before a reflective surface that you receive feedback of your likeness. However, try as you might you are not able to see the back of your head in that reflection. And you see your reflection in reverse. This is how the universe accurately and inaccurately represents God. And I speak not of only stars and planets; I speak of life forms of all sorts, personalities and minds and souls.

In our universe age we are forming a mirror, and this is the Supreme. In a prior age that mirror simply is, was, and reflects accurately the perfect Havona realm. We are improving our resolution as we attain Light and Life throughout our seven superuniverses.

Today we each experience what is like your “House of Mirrors” in a carnival. Not all plates of glass are flat. Not all reflective surfaces are shiny and bright. Each one of us presents a reflection of God with some distortion. Not to bring undue concern over our reflect-ability, note the laughter that ensues when you enter your House of Mirrors and perceive these distorted reflections. The Father is not concerned authoritatively. He is pleasurably engaged in watching and participating in your mirror development. Also, when it comes to your desire to be of service to another individual and your feelings of inadequacy, remind yourself that the individual who is receiving from you your reflection of spirit is also a reflector. Your inadequacy, which in a sense could be likened to the reversal of the image in the mirror, is reversed again when received by another, that your position creates the feeling that you are not accurate enough. But as you pass your reflection the other receiver reverses and rights the image! . That is the end of the ministry reach, and it is in its appropriate form. Therefore you best serve by leaving yourself out, reflecting.

You best serve by engaging in your times of worship and communion, for this straightens your mirror, polishes your surface. Because we each are at some grade level of universe ascendancy our reflectivity will be variable. But the Father is all and the source of all that is seen as other. It is the will of the Father that you be who you are.

One more addition to my lesson is that our universe is like your dance hall ball of mirrors, and occasionally one little mirror falls off. Such was the case in this system when rebellion began. This mirror has been restored, though in its tumble it received markings which we are engaged in cleaning and resurfacing so that the reflection would be restored, so that this system could reflect the will and nature of its Creator.

I conclude my lesson. I am with you; others are with me.

Evelyn: Earlier we were talking about the benefits from including a cross section of people of different talents in settings like classrooms or bands versus eliminating those who are less talented. Would you like to comment?

* Machiventa (Mark): This is Machiventa, and I would continue with the analogy of polishing your surfaces.

Harold: This polishing, is it our efforts to become less of an impedance to the light? Is it our willingness to let the light come through more what you are talking about?

* Machiventa: It is in a sense the elimination of obstructions to what otherwise would occur. The fine surface is in fact there with you present. It is your duty in this life to simply uncover it, to dust it off, to perhaps dig it out, to remove the obstacles in front of it that you may use it as a tool. There is in each one of you under years of accumulation this perfect surface, and it may well take you much more than this one lifetime to realize that you have in your possession both an excellent receiver for picking up these signals from on high as well as an excellent transmitter for reflecting these signals and your understanding of them back out to all, as well as the aspect I have just mentioned of being able to use your surface to construct your future, to see yourself in different circumstances under more ideal conditions and see what that reality would be like for you. It is therefore in a sense y! our work during this life to not only discover that you have this tool present with you from the beginning but to actively pull it out, uncover it, and spend a great deal of time in removing the grime and buildup of your time/space existence and uncover the perfectness that is resident there throughout. Does this clarify?

Harold: Yes. I try to envision that process as a relinquishing of control, allowing the spiritual side to activate rather than my human side. Is that accurate?

And you all do well at this in your lives. I point this out that you may see where things that you have done have prepared the way for spirit to enter, the kind words to a friend, for loving times spent together, for help to other individuals, even the slightest infusion of spirit, all these activities occur because of your preparation and your willingness for this to be so. The mirror analogies are simply a more concentrated example of this focus. For you I believe this is appropriate.

What a joy it is to witness your thought patterns and your actions regarding spirit. It is truly motivating even to ones of my order to be involved with individuals who are literally down on your hands and knees polishing your surface day in and day out even though you may not give yourself credit at times. This is the desire of your heart, and the universe sees this in you and I thank you.

* Raquel (Jonathan): This is Raquel, or as you may call me Rachel. I am here with Machiventa on training. I am enjoying this opportunity to continue my internship as a teacher in this correcting time. I have enjoyed watching and learning as you engage with the teachers assigned to you. I am going to speak about selfhood, selflessness, and selfishness, and use these fine teachers’ example of a mirror to make my point.
