===Opening===

Greetings, this is Elyon. I have prepared a lesson for you today. I did not mean to change your plans. If you wish to have a circle this can be done later. However, it is important to bring through a lesson a week so that you can continue to have something to work on, to have a goal each week, to improve upon something. Do not ever feel that you cannot do this, for there are many who are around that love doing this as much as you do. There are many who want to bring messages through who need practice, who are waiting for the opportunity to do this. By your opening up you help us on this side also.

I watch you throughout the week and you are all growing by leaps and bounds. You are all choosing higher paths, though they may sometimes seem so very difficult. You continue to remove the obstacles, the huge boulders and continue up the higher path.

I watch you throughout the week and you are all [[growing]] by leaps and bounds. You are all [[choosing]] higher [[paths]], though they may sometimes seem so very [[difficult]]. You continue to remove the [[obstacles]], the huge boulders and continue up the higher [[path]].

I am most grateful to be working with you, this group. Your persistence in your growth leaves us in awe, for you may not notice what you do on a day to day basis. You are all constantly trying and bringing about changes in your lives in your personal growth. This will help you all down the road . We the teachers encourage you to continue on your paths and know that you are all going up, reaching higher and higher each day.

Today I would like to talk about [[love]]. I [[realize]] this has been [[discussed]] a lot. There are so many [[facets]] of [[love]], so many different [[understandings]] of love. Love is the [[goal]]. Love is what is going to bring [[Urantia]] into [[light and life]]. Love is what [[the Father]] wants for all His children.

Many do not [[understand]] [[love]] and see it as a way to [[control]] others through their [[understanding]] of what they feel [[God]] wants; that, as I have [[spoken]] many times, God loves (un)conditionally. This is so important that people [[understand]] that this is not the true [[meaning]]. When everyone will lay down their [[Weapons|arms]], lay down their [[judgments]], lay down their [[prejudice]], when they can all open their [[hearts]] and fully [[realize]] that they have been in [[error]]. To truly love another is to allow, to [[understand]] there are many [[differences]] among the people, many different [[colors]], many different [[cultures]], many different ways to look at things. What works for one culture will not work for another.

To truly love another is to allow, to understand there are many differences among the people, many different colors, many different cultures, many different ways to look at things. What works for one culture will not work for another.

I know that to look at the whole [[picture]] it becomes so overwhelming. To create a [[vision]], a picture of, if for only one second, if everyone would look at their [[neighbor]], at the person they meet, with [[love]], it would create a [[balance]], help to offset the [[negativity]], the negative energy that [[surrounds]] [[the planet]]. Each person you look at with [[love]] helps to create this [[harmony]], this [[balance]].

Each person you look at with love helps to create this harmony, this balance.

If another is [[warring]] against you, you may not reach him by looking at him with [[love]], but you do create a [[positive]] [[energy]] field about him. This energy field is felt and stays to be felt by another also. So think upon this as you go through your day, to put out this [[love]], to create an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biofield energy field], to tap into the [[source]] that it comes from, to draw upon and pull into you and to give it out to others.

So think upon this as you go through your day, to put out this love, to create an energy field, to tap into the source that it comes from, to draw upon and pull into you and to give it out to others.

This is a [[different]] aspect of [[love]], to [[realize]] by loving your are creating an [[energy]], you are putting out a [[source]] that others can [[feel]], that this energy field will [[surround]] you if you feel this and continue to feel this. Keep [[positive]] and allow the [[negative]] [[thoughts]] to leave. Continue to keep this [[surrounding]] you, it will definitely make a [[difference]]. You will not get caught up in the negative and [[surround]] yourself with it. Rather turn it into positive and [[love]] quickly. For this in itself is a [[mission]], this in itself will help to turn it around. For as we have said, by [[smiling]], by being [[generous]] to others they will want, they will see, they will [[feel]]. They may not [[understand]] it but it will make a difference for them. Allow yourselves to, if for one day, be out of the [[norm]]. Take yourselves to a region where on one can stay for long and that is to [[surround]] yourself with [[love]] and [[share]] this with everyone. It takes a [[concentration]], a [[focus]]. You know you have all [[experienced]] this. You know how good it feels for you.

Have it be your [[focus]] this week and the more you feel it and [[understand]] what it can do for you, the more you will want it. The more you see your [[love]] grow and abound, the more you will want an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biofield energy field] around you. By helping others and this will be helping others. I will now [[accept]] questions.

===Dialogue===

Student #1: I'd like to understand this energy field. Do we think the thought that we would like to extend an energy field and it takes itself from there? How do we do that?

Student #1: I'd like to understand this [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biofield energy field]. Do we think the [[thought]] that we would like to extend an energy field and it takes itself from there? How do we do that?

Elyon: Love is created from within, from your love for yourself, the open channel to receive the love from the Father, from your Thought Adjuster, from Michael, the love that others give you. It is all within, and this love creates an energy around you. There is an energy around you that I believe you call the aura. This is much the same thing. And it is felt by others much like when someone is very negative. Although they may not speak, you will pick up on their negativeness. This is the same.

Does that help?

Student #1: I hadn't thought of an aura as something you could extend to someone else. It was something that reflected where we each are. Are you saying we should willfully, consciously direct our love to someone who seems to need it without necessarily making a display of that, especially if they are so negative that they wouldn't appreciate it? We can still have a beneficial effect just by willing our love to go out to them? If I understand that's what you're saying.

Student #1: That sounds a lot like prayer. Is there a difference when another person is present you can extend your energy field around them and when they're not you can convey love through prayers? Is there a correlation?

Elyon: Yes. As we've said, prayer also creates an energy as with thoughts. Thoughts that are negative put out an energy which is negative. Thoughts that are positive put out positive energy. This too puts out a field that surrounds you. Whether you extend it or not, when you are about your daily affairs and you keep yourself full of love, you would not have to consciously extend this love. It would be felt by those that pass by you, hear you, that are in your presence.

This is a focus to come into this exercise. Once you do it and realize how it affects your life it will become second nature for you. You will be doing this without thinking. It will just be there for you. The same with putting out good thoughts. It takes an effort at times to do this, to push the negative thoughts, the unwanted thoughts out and fill yourself with positive thoughts. Once you have done this and realize how good it makes you feel and you choose to do this more and more, this too will become second nature for you. Does this help?

Student #1: Yes, thank you.

Student #1: Yes, thank you.

Elyon: There is always room for [[discernment]]. However this will be an excellent time for all of you to learn to turn it over and learn to hear your [[answers]] concerning some [[questions]] you may have. This will be a good time for you to get past [[judgment]] and into: Is it, would it be really workable? Right? Is this what this person really needs? or what you think they really need?

At the same time there are many who do not wish personal growth but to only make life miserable for others. There are many human factors involved here. Part of your mission is to love all, to understand them and, as people come into your life that you want to share this with, be open and listen to guidance on how to share it with them, on what that person needs to hear. Yes, most certainly you can ask us, the teachers, at any time. This is not considered a judgment but and act of love for you do want to share this with everyone, naturally. There are many searching, many who really want and need this. Also be open to know that you will be led and directed to those as each of you come into each other's lives to start this group. The same goes on and on.

I [[hope]] this answers your [[question]].

Student #3: Hi, Elyon. So if I were to talk with people about this, is it okay if I do this in my daily life? God will send people who want to hear? In my life I don't know very many people who would be interested. I don't want to have to go out and sell this. I's rather soft shoe it with people. By what you say people who need this will automatically come into our lives? It's hard for us to reach them.

Elyon: This is a yes and no question. There are those who will be directed into your life. There will be times when you will, if you choose, have to risk in order to share this with others. And through this risking you will also grow and experience new wisdom. This is not meant to go out and to get on your soap box at the end of the street with arm raised, Urantia Book in hand, calling all to you. No. There is within each of you a growing need to do this. And through this growing need, through the openings that are happening with each of you, a better understanding of the guidance that is coming through to you, you will have an inner knowing at times when someone is brought to you to share this with. At other times you will question and it will be your discernment on whether to risk sharing the book, the teaching mission. However, many times by simply sharing your life, the love you feel, your personal relationship with God the Father, what it has done for you, that you can indeed have a personal relationship with the Father, that you can communicate, that you have an indwelling spirit that you communicate with, this in itself may help. Does this help?

Student #3: Yes, it helps a lot.

Student #4: Good afternoon, Elyon. I can imagine the teachers and angels drawing someone into my life who is ready to learn more spiritually. They may not know that and I may not recognize that either. So risk involves us reaching out enough to find out if that is what we are together to accomplish.

Elyon: Many will benefit simply from your personal growth on doing your daily lessons and opening up to the love as with the lesson today , many will benefit by just being in your presence, by your actions of goodness. through this alone they will seek they will ask, they will seek you out, they will ask you rather than you seeking them out. this is what Michael did. He had through his actions helped many and they came to him seeking answers rather than giving them advice.

As each of you grow and become more secure in yourselves and you feel secure with your relationship with the Father, with your open communication with your indwelling (spirit), as you become more confident, you will begin to see this happening. It will not be done through arrogance, self-centeredness, self-righteousness. It will be done through the action of love, unconditional, non-judgmental love.

Elyon: Yes, sometimes the risk is by living these virtues rather than the accepted norm.

Student #2: Thank you for being here. I felt like I was zapped during the lesson. I hear you saying things I appreciate but don't quite understand. I still feel a little dazed. I apologize for my seeming inattention.

I will leave you now. I am feeling like there may be some questions regarding the lesson today. I will be available Wednesday night to answer any questions or complications that may come up from this lesson. It is a very simple lesson which I feel is being made very complicated.
