===Lesson===

There is a similarity between our presence with each of you to your entering into a relationship like marriage. By this I do not mean that we are wed to you, for as time unfolds, our assignments may shift, and you may be assigned elsewhere. I mean that the similarity is in trust and faith. When you enter into a relationship like marriage, you hold in your view the hopes for a long term experience, and yet you are faced with the reality that you can only deal day by day.

There is a [[similarity]] between our [[presence]] with each of you to your entering into a [[relationship]] like [[marriage]]. By this I do not mean that we are wed to you, for as time [[unfolds]], our assignments may shift, and you may be assigned elsewhere. I mean that the [[similarity]] is in [[trust]] and [[faith]]. When you enter into a relationship like [[marriage]], you hold in your view the [[hopes]] for a long term [[experience]], and yet you are faced with the [[reality]] that you can only deal day by day.

This is what I would term the healthy perspective when seeking our guidance. We can only work from episode to episode, where you are now, each time. It is not our concern to teach what is far down the road, but to be with you as you need our assistance. If you were to enter into a relationship of love with a fellow creature and could foresee a separation a certain amount of years down the road, it could color your efforts to grow in the bonding. You know that it is best to not consider that possibility and to give it your all in the here and now.

I am expressing this to encourage you to flow with the events that unfold and to not be concerned for the great extent of time ahead. Your involvement now with our mission is but one small project in the great adventure before you in ascending to Paradise. It will be one task on your history chart. So, where you are greatly admired for your discernment and caution and care, realize also that the events your are in, grandiose as they seem to you, are still only small regional activities to the many spread far and wide in the universes. Enjoy your engagement. Be mindful of the Father, and all will work out to your heart's delight. That is all.

Your [[progression]] to [[attainment]] is through [[truth]]. When filtered down through your [[belief]] systems, your [[illusions]], [truth] sometimes gets flushed by the wayside and ends up to be an illusion itself. When something is `clicking' for you, pull it in through your [[heart]]. Allow it to come to you through the true part of your [[being]], rather than through the [[intellect]]; all the things that you [[feel]] should be your [[description]] of things are not always what they truly are. So, begin to [[read]] things from the trueness part of your [[being]], and then discern and decide if it is in [[fact]] [[truth]] for you and goes along with what you [[read]] in [[the book]] this evening.

===Dialogue===

Simeon: I have a hard time letting go with my mind when I am trying to send forth a message. Sometimes when I do [let go of the mind], it almost seems to work against me, because I will go for a sentence or two then it stops mid sentence, no words. I'm kind of lost in the flow. I guess I am wondering if you have advice. When I take a little beating, how can I continue to set my mind aside, instead of being more fearful next time? And, if you were playing a test with me-a double whammy?

 

Simeon: I have a hard time letting go with my [[mind]] when I am trying to send forth a [[message]]. Sometimes when I do [let go of the mind], it almost seems to work against me, because I will go for a sentence or two then it stops mid sentence, no [[words]]. I'm kind of lost in the [[flow]]. I guess I am [[wondering]] if you have [[advice]]. When I take a little beating, how can I continue to set my [[mind]] aside, instead of being more fearful next time? And, if you were playing a test with me-a double whammy?

 

Elyon: Also know that discernment is good, and awareness is good, for you are the one that is giving the permission and allowing, therefore you are the one to discern what is transmitted through you. We are fully aware of what you do and do not wish to have transmitted. We honor this, and through our integrity would not pull something through without your full permission.

?: It may be that you need to [[control]]. There may be a [[fear]] that you have of losing control by setting aside your [[mind]]; fully realize that you are in [[awareness]] and are in control. To put the control factor, it may be [[subconscious]] for you, up front when beginning, would get in the way of what is being [[transmitted]]. You sometimes look at this as a whole new [[process]], again and again, and sometimes being your [[performance]] gets in the way, creating more [[control]]. To have [[faith]] in yourself is the key. [[Trust]] and let go, knowing full well that you can shut it off on your own anytime that you [[choose]], and knowing full well that you can verbally, mentally, telepathically, [[communicate]] with us as the transmission is going on may subdue the [[fear]] of losing control. There may be a fear of us taking you over. Things to look at, and in the [[future]] possibly to [[practice]] - [[faith]], [[love]], and [[trust]] in your [[self]]. Does this help?

Jonathan: I've got this visual burst in my mind that the teachers are like the surfer, and our minds are like the surfboard. Sometimes the board can go in a direction that the rider isn't aware of, and he is then in the water. I think the teachers find our minds doing that a lot. There are other times when the surfer is trying to steer the board in another direction and pushes too far, goes against the current and finds the board out from under his feet. I get the impression that not only can our own functions, our own inner dynamics, de-rail the teachers, but that the teachers might even de-rail in their attempts to do what they are doing through us, not understanding us as well as they might.

Simeon: Yes, it does. It speaks to the [[point]]. I will continually try to work hard on this. It seems like a never ending [[process]], and I'm sure it is a never ending process for a long time. Thank you.

Elyon: Yes. Many times, also, when questions are asked, it is a natural thing for the T/R to want to, himself, answer the question. He will many times be formulating his own answer as we are answering. Especially if it is something he feels he is understanding and knows a lot about, he can find difficulty in put-ting himself aside. This sometimes can create a passage from the T/R within the answer, for he simply cannot keep himself from it. This is not a problem if it goes along with the truth and is what the person needs to hear. However, if it gets to be a habit there would definitely be a private session.

Elyon: Also know that [[discernment]] is [[good]], and awareness is good, for you are the one that is giving the [[permission]] and allowing, therefore you are the one to discern what is [[transmitted]] through you. We are fully [[aware]] of what you do and do not wish to have transmitted. We [[honor]] this, and through our [[integrity]] would not pull something through without your full [[permission]].

This is Elyon. I would like to instil within you again that you are in an ascension, a progression. Do not get caught up in your limitations. Rather always look to the broader picture, the bigger view. Have your viewfinders focused upon the bright horizon of what is to come, rather than on how you feel so limited in what you want to accomplish within your desires. For as you broaden your picture and your horizon you will also raise your limitations, what you feel are your limitations. Once again I remind you not to dwell upon the `should of', `would of', `what if', and `if only', rather, see what you can do in order to make the world a brighter place to live each day.

In your doom and gloom times find that light switch that can brighten your day, and commune with the Father for answers. Do not allow the weather to get you down, for there is sunshine within your hearts. Find the sunshine and the birds singing each day, for they are there. Sometimes you may have to go deep within yourselves to find this. It is there, my friends, for you to unfold each day with new clarity and new understanding, new abundance within you of what you can accomplish. Think not of the limitations, rather do a polarity switch for yourselves, and think of the unlimited possibilities that you have each day to uncover new insights, to climb higher on the ladder, to seek new mountain tops. This is all I have. My love to you.

Evelyn: Last week Elyon spoke about dedication. This week we are given the idea of comparing this relationship with the teachers to marriage which implies dedication. I was thinking about our assignment to practice telepathy, and how we practiced that for a while, and we let that drift away. Would you like to see us do that some more? Should we revive that exercise?

Evelyn: [http://www.nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=1993-12-01-Elyon#Dedication Last week Elyon spoke about dedication]. This week we are given the [[idea]] of [[comparing]] this [[relationship]] with [[the teachers]] to [[marriage]] which implies [[dedication]].

Sharmon: It is a procedure we encourage you to undertake. The minimal reward you receive is the commonality shared between you, time spent focusing on a brother or sister with the extra emphasis of sending or receiving, which is more potent than the mere casual thought. However, it is only the minimal gain. As time unfolds for your planet in its process of encircuitment, this activity will meet with greater success. It is not to be expected, (the success) in immediacy, but rather, now is the time to prepare for the greater manifestation that will follow. This is the time of being a toddler, where walking is a great endeavor. It takes all concentration and is not always successful. So, it is not a demand that we place upon you, rather an encouragement so that you may strengthen your mind and sharpen the intent of your will and become prepared for new chapters in planetary life.

Gloria: Did that work how we were doing it where we took turns sending and the others would receive? It seemed to take a matter of communication [coordinating the time] when we did that. Is that a good way to do it? Do you have any suggestion?

Gloria: Did that work how we were doing it where we took turns sending and the others would receive? It seemed to take a matter of [[communication]] [[[coordinating]] the [[time]]] when we did that. Is that a [[good]] way to do it? Do you have any suggestion?

Sharmon: The techniques you develop are for you to choose. The guidelines we offer settle upon simplicity. Your description now of choosing a sender fulfills that desire for us. It helps your focus. It helps receivers to concentrate, to clearly hear. It is far too difficult to open for reception and not know who is sending. There is a certain amount of connectability in your heart knowing that the two or more of you are focused this way. It removes vagueness. Therefore, I say your technique is good and would not limit you to this experiment. Enjoy.

Gloria: If we don't choose who will send on any day, yet we each practice at quarter to noon as we have, sending and receiving, it might not be as effective but not a loss. It is a workable thing also?

Sharmon: Yes. From my perspective it looks like your rush hour freeway, and yet all do manage to find home.

Gloria: Did they have to go get you? Are you still here?

Gloria: Did they have to go get you? Are you still here?

Sharmon: I am. I am always here during communication. It is my expertise, and I attend at all times. When I am engaged elsewhere I have others sit in and fill my function.

Sharmon: I am. I am always here during [[communication]]. It is my [[expertise]], and I attend at all times. When I am [[engaged]] elsewhere I have others sit in and fill my [[function]].

Gloria: Great, so if we have questions along those lines we can always ask.

Gloria: Great, so if we have [[questions]] along those lines we can always ask.

Sharmon: Yes.

Sharmon: Yes.

Simeon: On second thought I don't like that answer you gave earlier. You didn't answer my question...(tape noise) The communication process: It is easy to be aware and go through the communication process at times, and that's all hunky dory, but sometimes there is a blockage but...I guess my question was...I asked if...when I do finally decide to go forth and just communicate whatever comes into my mind, let it flow, and try to maintain an air of togetherness with that, those times when you do that and then end up drifting off into nothingness...(tape flipped)...supposed failure is still there. The next time you go to try there is increased burden of pressure. I was wondering how, when you blow it, how you can come back the next time and relieve that, or go through that? I guess it's just a...I don't know.

Elyon: When one falls off the horse, one must get back up on the horse. If too much time is taken before we again try to ride, our [[confidence]] level deteriorates. Know that you do [[receive]] [[communication]]. Be not so [[worried]] about what [[communication]] comes through to you. Merely get back on and ride.

Gloria: Does it also help to take a deep [[breath]] and re-center?

Elyon: It always helps to know where you are. Whenever you fail do not give up; do not dwell on the [[failure]], so much as look forward to the [[opportunity]] of surpassing that [[episode]]. This is true in [[all things]], in all of your daily dealings. It always helps to go forward with the [[confidence]] that [[your Father]] will [[guide]] you. At times we all fall. We must all get back up and continue on. Perhaps it is just one of our lessons which we need to learn. At times we will have a tendency to [[repeat]] those things that it is important for us to [[discover]]. Remember always to go ever onward. Do not let past failures inhibit you in your search for [[growth]]. Does this help?

Jonathan: While Simeon is re-centering himself. I'd like to comment. The idea came to my mind that whenever the apostles were perplexed or disturbed by events that took place in their lives, the Master would often times take them apart for a while so they could re-focus as a group, as a corp, but he always had them right back in there with the multitudes again. So, if I draw an analogy from that I think that perhaps when we feel like we've lost clarity or our connection isn't strong with you teachers, that maybe we could take time to seek the Father, to go through the stillness, and seek the source, and also to make more time available for communication in the same way that the Master always put the apostles back to work with the multitudes.

Aaron: So, this isn't so hard to understand if you just allow yourself to believe that we can come through your presence. Truly it is an empowerment that has been offered you in your . .. (inaudible) . .. and as you hold up your end of the bargain, just to remain open, sincere, and searching for the truth, then you must realize . .. (inaudible) . ..these are not yours; they are in our arena. It is so simple and so profound, if you just allow what is given to come through. You will be amazed, and you have been amazed beyond your conceptions. Is this good enough for you?

Simeon: Yes.

Simeon: Yes.

Aaron: I am Aaron. Yes, I am teasing you. Truly you allow too much on your shoulders, and you try to satisfy the burdens of too much. Just go about in your days sharing the love of God as you have learned it, and in your reaching then you will be accepting of what has been given to you.

Aaron: I am Aaron. Yes, I am teasing you. Truly you allow too much on your shoulders, and you try to [[satisfy]] the [[burdens]] of too much.

Jonathan: Don't stop now, Aaron. You have got Simeon all warmed up!

Jonathan: Don't stop now, Aaron. You have got Simeon all warmed up!

Aaron: He is a treasure to work with, but not so easy to control in his emotions. The slightest air of turbulence brings his guard high. I guess my job is to place him on a cloud, for his concern is only for...(T/R- This one is beyond me, Aaron.) So be it. It is not so important anyway. Go on with your struggles. I am not concerned. You would be much better served if your concerns were given to your faith in the Father.

Aaron: Thank you, and I [[appreciate]] your comments. I take this `[[flattery]]' well to show that Simeon can also [[accept]] a compliment. He uses flattery as a wall as any other obstruction.
