===='''''[[Purpose]]'''''====

The [[fact]] of our coming [[together]] over these past two years has, on occasion, given rise to many [[questions]] as to the true [[purpose]] of these [[meetings]]. The purpose of [[education]] is foremost as it deals with your [[individual]] [[spiritual growth]]. I can safely say, if you are to distill the [[message]] to its most basic component, it would be that our purpose is to teach you [[methods]] and [[tools]] that will be useful to you to use as you [[journey]] on your path. It is not our [[purpose]] to try to [[influence]] the whole world, but, rather, to teach you to go out into this world as a changed and [[enlightened]] [[individual]] in service to [[the Father]] above. This is the way it must work. We do not [[possess]] any [[magical]] cures that would be able to be applied in a way as to affect the whole world. [[The Father]]'s [[plan]] calls for [[individuals]] to be changed so that they may carry forward the work that He [[desires]] take place.

So, for those among you who are [[considering]] where you are going and how you will get there, I suggest that you attempt to [[structure]] your [[future]] in [[cooperation]] with others not limited to the persons present in this group but those with whom you already know you work well and amicably. Nothing goes to [[waste]] in the [[Divine]] plan. We can safely [[predict]] that the [[relationships]] of the [[future]] will be built upon the [[relationships]] of the present for it is not possible to skip any steps in the Divine plan. Skipping steps is a human [[fantasy]].

This is my message to you tonight. The [[future]] is where openings and closings is all about. As always, we [[encourage]] you to take [[advantage]] of those openings between people and to do so in a [[clear]] minded fashion, not subjecting yourselves to sappy sentimentalism or [[foolhardiness]]. The persons [[graduating]] from [[your planet]] have a nearly [[unique]] [[quality]] - a capability to work in [[isolated]] [[environments]] without constant reinforcement. Successful spiritual [[voyagers]] from your planet accomplish this through hard headedness, a solid [[faith]], and an ability to [[honestly]] [[interpret]] those [[phenomena]] which their [[senses]] bring to them.

WILL: When a [[group]] comes together to learn, such as this one, the members of the group whose [[heart]] is open to [[the Father]]'s will receive personal [[seraphim]] within a very short order.

(Through Eric) Each of you [[possesses]] the [[power]] to do this and more. We are talking about greater powers than you can presently [[control]]. When you have reached a more [[practiced]] position where you are capable of bringing more constant [[attention]] and [[control]] to your pursuits, then will you be more capable of [[engaging]] in this type of activity. In general, when we above look upon [[mortals]] it is [[analogous]] to you looking upon the face of your [[pets]] because the inconstancy of your [[devotion]] and dedication shifts from [[moment]] to moment up and down the scale from [[adoration]] to hopeful [[anticipation]] to despair and then back up the scale and down and back up and down and back up. You must all learn to rule yourselves more effectively and when you are thus able to [[focus]] yourselves, great things can happen.

Many times we have spoken about the openings and closings between people but the path across the heavens is also filled with the meetings and partings between people. It is a part of the price of the path of progress. We have called you agondonters because you act without seeing the consequences and rewards of your acts. You love without any reasonable expectation of having that love returned. You believe where there is no basis for the belief. We value you because you are capable of working alone unlike most other order of beings. And when we say alone, we mean alone.

Because of your setting, your background, your experience and the numerous negative influences which are a part of the formation of your character, each of you is of particular value to the Father and His eventual plan. Each of you, at some point in your spiritual progress, can face one or more postings in which you will receive no support whatever, no communication, no encouragement beyond the product of your own activities. We think that you will be well schooled for those postings because of your experience here.

Your poets call this life a "veil of tears", but that is an incomplete description, for with disappointment and mistakes, the path becomes more clear to those capable of learning the lessons which this life has in store for them. Not every road is a productive road and the partings are as many as the meetings. Learn what you can. Do no harm to one another. Contribute for mutual benefit. Seize what opportunities arise in the Father's service and you will not long stray from the proper path. The only thing foredestined for all of you is success in your attempts in spiritual achievement and growth in spiritual attainment. Those who part will meet again. Isolation is an unusual experience. But the skills gained from operating independently are valuable to your future progress. Just as the equanimity of the general group is not seriously jeopardized by this parting [editor's note: Will is talking about the impending divorce of a couple who are members of the group, both of whom are loved by the group and both of whom desire to continue to meet with the group despite the divorce], neither is a more spiritual and complete self jeopardized in its equanimity by similar and later occurring partings. In the end, all is perfection. That is all I have to say.

Soon arrives the ritual celebration of Michael's incarnation in human flesh. Notwithstanding commercial exploitation, many human minds are open to the suggestion that there was in fact validity and meaning and a special purpose in the birth and life of the teacher of Nazareth. Your job is to recognize those openings and, when they occur, to respond as though Jesus of Nazareth were standing by your side silently and, by your actions, you demonstrate to him your understanding and grasp of his message and all that he lived for and, in so acting, you abandon thoughts of yourself and serve as a conduit for the light of the Father's love to flow through you so that the Father may interact directly with the person and that you allow the Father's light to shine neither filtered nor refracted by any inappropriate attempts at levity or deprecation. When you can do this, then you are doing something worth counting. That is service.

====Lesson====

I would ask you, in your spare [[time]], to re[[read]] some of our past lessons and rekindle some of the [[energy]] you all exhibited at the beginning of [[our mission]] work. Each lesson building on the one [[past]] and, brought to [[light]] again, helps to rekindle the [[flame]] in the [[heart]]. This would be all I would ask, keeping in [[mind]] always to give [[the Father]] His time first. I [[love]] you my dear ones and I am with you, each and every one, as you go about your week. [[Shalom]].

We, your teachers, are always filled with such pride when we watch you as you go about your day throughout the week taking those opportunities to shine forth the Father's light. This plan that you have to feed those members of the brotherhood that are less fortunate than yourselves is one we both appreciate and thank you for. [Editor's note, the group discussed plans to cook and serve a meal at the local homeless shelter.] You will come away from this offer of love understanding that you are gaining much more than you are giving. We think it unfortunate that this sort of effort is not put forth by more people even at other times during the year. It takes a remembrance of the day you celebrate Michael's birthday to put you in a frame of mind wherein you seem more inclined to do these kinds of service projects. Do not mistake this, my dear ones, as recriminations. I was speaking more on a general frame - all people in your world. Would it not be lovely were this to happen on a daily basis across your land? We see this as a probability at some time in the future and you, my precious students, are workers at this grass roots level. It will be because of the work that you do that this effort will gain momentum.

There is nothing within the scope of your lives that goes unseen by the Father. Those efforts made by you, both large and small, are all properly recorded and given their due.

MACHIVENTA MELCHIZEDEK: Greetings to you all. It is I, [[Machiventa]] [[Melchizedek]], to greet you this evening. I like to [[visit]] each of my classrooms on occasion. Visiting yours always fills me with such [[joy]]. The reports I get from Will as well as those I fill out myself, if you want to use that [[terminology]], are always such uplifting ones.

I would ask you, in your spare time, to reread some of our past lessons and rekindle some of the energy you all exhibited at the beginning of our mission work. Each lesson building on the one past and, brought to light again, helps to rekindle the flame in the heart. This would be all I would ask, keeping in mind always to give the Father His time first. I love you my dear ones and I am with you, each and every one, as you go about your week. Shalom.

You are all so [[steadfast]], even those who seem to be falling away. We know in their [[hearts]] they have not left us. We ask that you allow them this [[space]] and we believe that they will, one day, reenter the fold. But we all know in the end it matters not. You know how many [[paths]] there are to [[the Father]] - as many as there are people to walk them. This willingness you have as a group of allowing each of your members to [[grow]] and [[change]] and step out in life is a [[wonderful]] thing for us to see. A [[love]] we wish we could infuse in all of our members.

Many people, in beginning the spiritual journey, put more energy toward helping others outside the family and completely forget that that charity and love by rights ought to begin within one's own home. How many times we take offense from a family member over small issues that, when coming from someone else outside our own family, a stranger, we would so easily overlook. This is sometimes difficult to understand with hindsight why it is. It seems so easy to hurt those we love. It is also easy to take those we love for granted. With a stranger this doesn't happen for we have no history with them.

I would like to speak today of those [[kindnesses]] that are so oft time neglected toward our own [[families]]. Many people, in beginning the [[spiritual]] [[journey]], put more [[energy]] toward helping others outside the [[family]] and completely forget that that [[charity]] and love by rights ought to begin within one's own [[home]]. How many times we take [[offense]] from a family member over small issues that, when coming from someone else outside our own [[family]], a [[stranger]], we would so easily overlook. This is sometimes [[difficult]] to [[understand]] with hindsight why it is. It seems so easy to hurt those we [[love]]. It is also easy to take those we [[love]] for granted. With a [[stranger]] this doesn't happen for we have no [[history]] with them.

Over the next week I would like to ask all of you to look within your family and try to recognize those times when you become short, when you take for granted or hold back considerations that you would give to a stranger. Change those times into the loving, into the giving, into the understanding times. Family is so important. Family is the foundation upon which your future spiritual life will flow. He doesn't only work through you to strangers. He works through you to all people. More often with your family members if you but give Him a chance.

The hour grows late so I will leave you now with my blessing, admonishing you, as always, to seek the Father first. Let Him fill you from the fountain that knows no end. Shalom.
