I am here. I am Elyon. I've enjoyed watching you tonight. Remember to let yourself go and express your sincere desires and heartfelt longings. You underwent a test with your friends who don't understand this process and in your courteousness please be reminded to assert yourselves as well, for this is how we will spread our message.

I am here. I am Elyon. I've [[enjoyed]] watching you tonight. [[Remember]] to let yourself go and [[express]] your [[sincere]] [[desires]] and heartfelt longings. You underwent a test with your [[friends]] who don't understand this [[process]] and in your courteousness please be reminded to assert yourselves as well, for this is how we will spread our [[message]].

Next time we gather will be important for this is when we will let you all know our plans for the day of celebration. Your efforts have been good and it is wonderful to see you all working together and we have cautioned you to not overplan, for we do have plans. It is our hope to bring to you a gift in the form of inspiration and joy and enlightenment. There will be a crowd on both sides. There will be messages from those who don't attend, but we will freely share them. At this moment I would be pleased to address Evelyn for this is a good time to speak with you personally. You have the dedication that is admirable and it is a hope we as teachers hold that everyone were to be such as yourself. Many times we encounter the flash and fizzle, the emotional roller coaster of people's expectations and disappointments. You have a trait that is required for the long haul. Take note of Van and his efforts. When distraught remember all that time. Remember he was given a message and it never got to him. And yet he was a forerunner of the next great revelation to your world.

Next time we gather will be important for this is when we will let you all know our [[plans]] for the day of [[celebration]].

Your work will find fulfillment. Make the most of every event that is tied to our work. Even the little chores make the whole. Weekly progress is being make. I would say that is fast enough. Your view is that it takes years. My view is that it's momentary. Most important is our dedication to the purposes and plans that you and I are engaged in fulfilling for our sovereign. I would address now the group and make emphasis on sharing for you are interrelated. Interrelatedness, is what makes the mission manifest down here on earth.

 

Your [[work]] will find [[fulfillment]]. Make the most of every [[event]] that is tied to our [[work]]. Even the little chores make the whole. Weekly [[progress]] is being made. I would say that is fast enough. Your view is that it takes years. My view is that it's momentary. Most important is our [[dedication]] to the [[purposes]] and [[plans]] that you and I are [[engaged]] in fulfilling for our [[Master Son|sovereign]]. I would address now the [[group]] and make [[emphasis]] on [[sharing]] for you are interrelated. [[Interrelatedness]], is what makes [[the mission]] manifest down here on [[earth]].

We like to think of you all as the parts that make this work. We're aware that you look to us and expect our efforts to make the new era unfold. But really it isn't us, it's you. The new era is dawning. It's wonderful to see it here on this planet. I well recognize the symptoms. I have seen it unfold previously elsewhere. It is a great time. It is, though, very subtle, but in the end when you look back it will be very obvious.

It is a great time. It is, though, very [[subtle]], but in the end when you look back it will be very obvious.

Mankind is embarking on change which will redefine many aspects of life as it is known here. It is foreshadowed in your societies' struggles, confusions. It is perceived in the turmoil around the world. And it will be resolved. We know it will be resolved. We accept this task. In our bringing to you this new episode we have to lay great stress on the unavoidable fact that you all, everyone here on the planet needs to respond because, as it is always said, we don't do it for you; we do it with you. It is, as I said earlier, a sharing, very much two-way.

[[Mankind]] is embarking on [[change]] which will redefine many aspects of [[life]] as it is known here. It is [[foreshadowed]] in your [[societies]]' [[struggles]], [[confusions]].

It is, as I said earlier, a [[sharing]], very much two-way.

For ages mankind has longed to hear from us and now it is to be. It is simple from this side, it is sharing. It is metaphysical from your side. It is magical. But it is only sharing, extending ourselves to one another with a care and a love, a personality embrace that is free of determinants, those qualifications which the mind requires for acceptance or rejection. Set those aside and wholly embrace. Then sharing will unfold. It is a wonderful experience. Who needs to qualify? No, each is our Father's child, therefore your brother, your sister, unqualified. I am glad you took this time. It is a reminder to (the TR) to get up and go, do it. There are many times we will be desiring to address you all and realize that the situation may not be appropriate, but our decision in this group of teachers is to get the message to you anyway, to seep in from the sidelines when your events don't provide the pivotal position.

So in a way expect us everywhere, anywhere. I will now receive from you what you have in mind, questions, comments.

===Dialogue===

Student #1: Thank you for a beautiful lesson and pep talk. It gave us a little insight into you. You mentioned your experience of another world coming out of rebellion. That gives me an idea of how old you are, how experienced you are. I respect you already as a brother but I can begin to appreciate you as an older and wiser brother. I'm inspired to listen more closely to what you say. (phone call interrupts)

Mentioning Van is wonderful! None of us will ever have to be as patient as he was! But the image of that dedication is an inspiration.

Elyon: May I comment? My [[sister]], even though there is great distance between us in terms of [[experience]] in [[life]] for I have been through many, I prefer to relate to you and your fellows here at this [[point]] and therefore have been evasive because credential lists seem long. They aren't. I have a great distance to go. But I know what you mean and I [[love]] you, all other [[variables]] aside. Please continue.

The question of last week isn't burning like it was, but I'll give you the opportunity to comment on your experiences at the conference (in Montreal) if it is appropriate now.

Student #1: Oh, thank you. What I was most [[impressed]] with at [[study]] group was (a member's) mention of a fellow at [[work]] who is severely crippled and he doesn't let his [[physical]] condition stand in his way. It makes me [[think]] how I let the least little thing stand in my way, I whine. But I see that it's [[balanced]] by what you point out that I have a stick-to-it [[quality]] that's [[necessary]]. So I need to remind myself to stick with the [[program]] but I'm not likely to veer off too [[radically]].

Elyon: It is. Many avenues advanced making progress, yet we see there is a broad spectrum of attitude present in this gathering of fellowshippers. But the pilgrims of the mission did make known their zeal and their forthrightness. This greatly pleased us and we worked constantly with them. Many didn't know that. In a way that's the fun part.

My activities were varied. I watched your friends and hoped for their acceptance but it doesn't matter. There is no ranking that qualifies or disqualifies. Only time passing. You see, this whole planet is going to move forward. It doesn't matter who accepts now or later. But this conference is an important event in the movement and having potential to affect a broad spectrum of individuals.

There were some significant events that I will not reveal. They were, for those involved, important but not really newsworthy generally. Take note: This did help solidify for them the deep implications of all our work. Would you care for more?

Student #1: Thank you for what (another TR) conveyed to us the other day. You mentioned earlier that in this teaching group you will seep your message in where you can. I appreciate that because occasionally, hopefully frequently, I'll think, "Elyon, if there is something you'd like me to say, inspire me at the right moment." I'm never sure if whatever I think of is teacher-inspired. But it's refreshing to hear you say that because it's one more way to cooperate with you. It doesn't have to be a session such as right now for you to get your message through. I've noticed that I'll begin to say something then I'll say something else that occurs to me that's a little clearer. Hopefully those are the times that you're getting something through.

Elyon: Yes and definitely this is the case. It is a technique that we employ more often than the method used right now. Your angels are the most skilled at this. They acquire this ability and thereby qualify as guardians. And it is our privilege as teachers to engage in like events. So we have learned their ways and effect change while maintaining your will choice. So you may watch and note these times. But remember the result is what we are after and are joyful when you respond. The responding is the important part over recognition. To recognize is an enjoyment. To respond is an attainment. And the result is our engagement together. We do work this way with you and you will see other methods eventually, even soon.

I am enjoying our conversation. Have you more?

Student #1: I don't have any particular questions. I appreciate what you've pointed out. I won't press you to divulge what some of your other methods are. I'm sure you'd rather I discover them. For myself, I need to work on the balance of the reasons why I hold back from saying what I'm thinking. I don't want to be rude or to blurt out without thinking. But I need to be more assertive, Like you say, it's one thing to think but it's by saying things we'll make progress, attainment, at the risk of seeming to blurt.

I've enjoyed our discussion this evening. I hope you'll enjoy the meteor shower, too.

Elyon: Yes and expect surprises as now even for may I introduce Sharmon, a fellow teacher who is detached and working generally at range, covering bases beyond groups and interconnection.

Elyon: Yes and [[expect]] [[surprises]] as now even for may I introduce [[Sharmon]], a fellow teacher who is detached and working generally at range, covering bases beyond [[groups]] and interconnection.

Sharmon: Hi. I am Sharmon. I am happy to have this experience and to have the opportunity to recognize, to acknowledge, your group's activities. I have visited often and carry my observations back and forth to others so that all can be in touch up here. My enlistment is as a carrier, as one who transfers experience and in a form of information these experiences can be related elsewhere. I am part of the circuit ministry and go about linking. So I am happy to make connection here now with you and do expect to present myself to you in the future for I will convey other group activities to you as Elyon accepts or requires of me. Thank you. Be about the business at hand. In the name of Michael I go. Take care.

Make every moment of your life work toward upliftment in the world around you. As grandiose as worldwide events are, it is a minute process for each individual and revolves around the notion -actually the truth- of sharing, extending, providing others your inner aspects. That (...?...) they do likewise and they end up with a good, bright, fun, peaceful world. You might say that since this is Michael's birth home, world home, mortal home, we would love to help him remodel. Many blessings to you. Please share this with others. I and my fellows will see you again. Good night.
