===Opening===
 
LinEL: Good evening, my faithful students. This is LinEL. I am very glad to be with you this evening, and extremely pleased to have observed your progress/discovery this evening. Several points: You have done an excellent job encouraging all to speak. Also remember that process does have a structure. The structure, however, is fluid. You are doing an excellent job, and I encourage you to continue. The time spent, which was not unreasonable under the circumstances, does require me to change slightly what I had planned for you. You could say you are getting off the hook for this evening, except that you have already worked so hard. I think this is reasonable.

===Lesson===
 
I had initially planned to go around the room and ask you to briefly discuss your strengths and weaknesses. However, we will save this until next week, barring changes of circumstance. Let me talk, however, with you some about what it is I have in mind. This is a beginning of deeper level teaching. And I wish to talk with you about action and strength. When I was developing, growing up on my planet, I was intelligent and certain things came easy to me. I became known as what you might call an intellectual, at a certain point in my study career. If someone wanted to know chapter and verse, they'd say "Go see LinEL". If someone wanted to know philosophical details, they'd say "Go talk to LinEL. He will know". I was very proud of this, and sincere at the same time. But I had difficulty grasping the full heart of the matter. And I often found myself somewhat resentful of those that seemed to grasp this, yet did not have my same intellectual understanding. Eventually, I came to learn that it was necessary for me to balance what I knew intellectually with the action that would achieve the strength that would truly make it my own. And as I grew in learning and understanding, I came to find the loving of others, the living of the truth that I had learned amplified and illuminated all of that which I had learned. And then, having gained that balance, the intellectual aspect, which had been a strength all along, became truly a balanced strength.

Katie: It's my greatest weakness. It's getting late, and I want to make sure that everyone who has not had an opportunity to talk gets that opportunity.

===Closing===
 
LinEL: I also would like this. Who of you, as it is said on your planet, would like to crawl out of the woodwork at this time? Has everyone who has a question had an opportunity? (pause) It is true that it is late, and it is time to close. This has been an unusual meeting. I have enjoyed it very much. I will look forward to seeing you all again, and look forward to beginning our lessons together. I think we will have much fun together, particularly as I learn to provoke Thea into revealing me more fully. She is having a strange reaction with this. (Laughter) Pardon her, while she and I laugh at the same moment. It is sometimes very unusual having the two personalities present within the same mind frame. At any rate, I will continue. I look forward very much to spending time with you all again. I am very pleased with the progress being made. Know also that soon there will be messages from other personalities. And the Father is always with you. The Father knows of your group. The Father knows of what we are doing here together. And Michael knows. He knows of each of you. I would urge you this week to seek Michael in your hearts, to seek his presence, to seek his friendship, to seek knowing him face to face in your own hearts and minds. And I will be with you throughout the week. All of your teachers will be with you, and I look forward to seeing you again. Farewell.
