Machiventa (Mark TR): I would greet you this morning, this is Machiventa. Once again I am pleased to be included in this forum, pleased that you would form such a forum for our joint participation. I would, at the risk of echoing sentiments expressed, wish to validate one strain of thought.

It is quite obvious to all that we have been engaged in a process imparting truth over this time we have shared together, and you have each done quite well to gather this truth to yourself and to claim this truth as your own acquirement. As you have gathered this to yourself this truth has slowly become wisdom and changes from that which you are exposed to into that which you have become familiar with.

This is my contribution to this forum today, and I would step back and allow for others. Thank you.

* Elyon (Jonathan): This is Elyon, I greet you also. We have spoken of our conclaves together as a "classroom", and we have done so within the larger context of a teaching mission. The purpose of this approach is to instill within the students a receptivity, a willingness to be taught. You are aware of Jesus' response to the one who asked, "How can one enter the kingdom?", and he said, "Come like a little child."

How is it that a child learns so readily with so little effort the ability to speak, the ability to walk? Your natural progression into wisdom is done as a little child learns how to live. Yes, there are things in life that require the tutoring of an experienced being. You have learned to play an instrument with such guidance, but eventually you progress to composition in your own right, and you develop expressions out of your own creative source.

If you remain pliable, aerated, soft, and full of nutrients yourself the many about you grow vigorously to God. Your role is as important as Machiventa's, and I am proud to be among this troop and to have been rewarded with your progress. I will give time for you to give expression. Thank you.

===Dialogue===
 
Mark: Why is it so difficult for us to embrace the aspect of ourselves which is grand, divine? Why do we recoil from such an invitation?

* Elyon: It arises from two factors. One is that when you observe your past, your background, you perceive immaturity, lack of ability, all those states of yourself prior to attainment. And you look at the many around you who have acquired, who are capable, who give the sermons, who write the books, and place yourself in the position of inadequate. Time fosters confidence, but the willingness to risk, to place yourself in peril, will give yourself that confidence.

That risk and peril are not from the external world but from your own sense of unworthiness. Put it in danger and it will perish. It is a form of stage fright in a spiritual sense. The more you are on the stage the less you are afraid of it, and soon you come to realize the power and the opportunity of being on that stage.

Mark: Thank you. I want to express heartfelt gratitude and acknowledgment of the roles that you and the other instructors have in your encouragement of us as students. May we rise to be all that you envision us, and may we feel as confident about ourselves as you feel about us and as the Father feels about us. I realize the role you have played in my life is significant for support. Thank you for that. I pray and hope we can all realize the truth of that and claim that as our wisdom and assume the role that we are training for so we may become accomplished and graduate from one level to another.
