Each of us contains a treasure that is beyond description. It is the presence of the Father. It is, as you know, the core of you, and yet it is infinite and unfathomable, having within itself all that is the First Source and Center. This divinity is contactable for it does reside with you, seeks embrace by you. It could not be approached if it were not given to you. The very fact of this presence inside ought to forever displace the idea that God cannot be found. Here is the extended hand of God. Nothing can get in the way of your communion, for there in reality is not anything between this spirit source and your personal deeper self.

Sometimes it may appear that there are many barriers to push aside to reach inward. It is often the case that we who are evolutionary tend to ride on our surface, extended outward into the realm we inhabit, entertained by the curiosity resident in our minds and thereby forget to retract into our core. Make effort to sit within the arena of your soul. Attempt to live the life you have from this vantage point. Hold your identity focus here, and let your mind be a tool rather than your seat.

You are aware of your physical mechanism and that you are not this body. You know that you have full charge of and possess this vehicle and have every right to use it as you wish. Yet you know you are not it. Likewise and somewhat difficult is this same understanding in the mental area. You have all liberty to think as you wish. It is important to know that this mind you have is also a tool, not to be identified with but possessed by you. Having released the grip and allowing yourself to reside within your soul, you are far more able to utilize your two gifts from God, your mind and your physical (body) to work for truth.

It is easy to steer when you do not feel that you are the one being steered. By this I mean you can realize consciously your soul status. You are more able to control the mind and manipulate your body to the ends that you seek that glorify the relationship you have with the Father. When you attain status of one who is morontial it will become clearer to you the greater gap between your personality, selfhood, and your mind and embodiment. There is a larger distance here than between you and your Divine Source. It is interesting to note how easily one can extend through mind and how difficult one finds reaching to wards the Father, when in reality that is the shorter distance. It is a pattern common to creatures who are ascending, for ascending beings must collect and gather, coordinate, compile, and rise above what is going on all about them and turning over within them. You are reaching for the source, but you work so often within your surroundings.

It is easy to steer when you do not [[feel]] that you are the one being steered. By this I mean you can realize [[consciously]] your [[soul]] [[status]]. You are more able to [[control]] the mind and [[manipulate]] your body to the ends that you seek that [[glorify]] the [[relationship]] you have with [[the Father]]. When you [[attain]] [[status]] of one who is [[morontial]], it will become [[clearer]] to you the greater gap between your [[personality]], [[selfhood]], and your [[mind]] and [[embodiment]]. There is a larger distance here than between you and your [[Thought Adjuster|Divine Source]]. It is interesting to note how easily one can extend through [[mind]] and how difficult one finds reaching towards [[the Father]], when in [[reality]] that is the shorter distance.

You are reaching for [[the source]], but you work so often within your [[surroundings]].

When I behold a descender I observe such anchorage, such stability, It is as if they stand on Paradise wherever they are. Their natural motion is from within to their surroundings. It inspires me for the attainment of the goal we all long for; to be so at home with the Father that we always can release His light and love. This is our challenge for ages to come.

Many [[techniques]] are offered throughout your [[civilizations]] to help in the inward turn(?) but lastly it is simply turning of will, an [[orientation]] that you may easily make, as if you were to walk up to a chair, see it, walk around it observing its many [[angles]], its construction, [[color]]. You may approach and [[analyze]], [[touch]] this chair in many, many ways. But simply to sit in that chair and take on its [[perspective]], look out from its location is an [[experience]] that [[transcends]] the [[observation]] or any approach [[described]] by another to reach it. It is nothing like [[being]] there. [[Realize]] this and, I must [[confess]], it is another [[tool]] to help in your realization that you are able to sit in the seat with [[the Father]] and look outward from His location.

It is not wrong to [[study]] this [[divinity]] that [[surrounds]] the [[Adjuster]] fragment, that [[describes]] Him. But it is most important to occupy the same [[coordinates]] that is the [[Father fragment]] within you. By doing so you will [[receive]] [[transformation]] that opens up unlimited [[possibilities]], creates [[potentials]] here before unrealizable. It sets into [[motion]] [[events]] which will carry you far into the distant [[future]] and deeper into the [[reality]] of [[deity]]. Your [[source]] is your [[destiny]], one and the same. Hold in your eye the [[perspective]] that you ''are'' this source, and you will find great ease of [[receiving]] and [[being]] what you [[hope]] for.

I am [[grateful]] for your attendance and the [[opportunity]] to [[express]] what has been for me the greatest [[event]] in my life; being [[embraced]] and [[fused]] into one with [[God]]. It defies [[description]]. It will not be long for any of you. Do not dislike your [[Human condition|condition]]. [[Cherish]] your current standing, for it is a but a small [[fraction]] of the [[timeline]] of your [[life]]. [[Great]] is the span of your [[existence]] wherein you and [[the Father]] are one. Your pre-[[fusion]] [[status]] will be a tiny, tiny aspect of your entirety. I [[rejoice]] in the [[recognition]] of your [[progress]] and of your recognition of your progress. It is thrilling to watch you all [[growing]] up and learning to walk. I am here to [[receive]] your [[questions]] as well this day.

Mary: It takes a minute to come down from that. It was a very inspiring lesson. I'm coming into a realization of the mind gift that I have been given, it is something I have been thinking about. I appreciate the assistance you have given me to move me forward, to appreciate its uses, directing thought. (some inaudible)

Elyon: Thank you. The mind is wonderful. It is observed by many of us to our humorous delight how the mind functions in animal beings. Much time is spent as if you were entangled in sheets, grappling, struggling to gain control, feeling overwhelmed. But you can and will gain control and hold this sheet out in front of you, and be able to wave it around to make it move in any way you wish as time goes on. It is a great tool, it is a living tool. And like your hedges it needs to be groomed and taken care of, for it can grow wildly without your maintenance.

Evelyn: With better mind control, will our memories also sharpen?

Evelyn: With better mind control, will our memories also sharpen?

Elyon: This is true for when your mind is subservient to your will, you are able to clearly receive information you house as memory, your experience. To return to my analogy of the sheets, it is easier to recall what you do as you straighten, as you move this fabric about, you have a clear picture. But when tangled, wrapped up, tied up, it becomes confusing just what is going on. Your memory becomes . ..(?) clogged up by emotions, frustrations, that by their unpleasantness tend to fade faster.

Your [[memory]] becomes . ..(?) clogged up by [[emotions]], [[frustrations]], that by their unpleasantness tend to fade faster.

 

Evelyn: Yes, I really enjoy your descriptions and feel that I have a very tangled sheet. I want to ask how do we do all these things? But I anticipate you'll say, "seek the stillness". I'm willing to be patient knowing what the outcome will be. You say the memories fade because they are unpleasant. It seems like the most vivid memories are the unpleasant ones, maybe because I dwell on them too much.

So, you have a storehouse [[memory]] that resides in your [[soul]] [[identity]]. This is a very lasting [[source]] of your [[history]] and contains far more vivid and vastly more important accounts of your [[life]] than are patterns that are held in the [[mind]]. As [[time]] [[unfolds]] your mind can be like an unwrinkled sheet, clear enough to allow the [[impressions]] of [[life]] to pass forward to your [[soul]] and for your soul to [[reflect]] through the mind to light(?). Has this been helpful?

Elyon: You are correct, and I would add to your understanding that stillness with the Father is most beneficial. Let me recall to you is that my lesson today on sitting in the seat of your soul, of the Father, is a way to gain control of your mind. You can practice this by simply saying to yourself as you are involved in your daily activities, "I am here in my soul realm with the Father, and I am reaching out through my life, my mind, my body." You will notice an ability to work with your bits and pieces better simply by shifting your attitude in this way. It will become easier in time, for, as I have said, the more distance you have from Paradise in your life makeup makes it easier to be distracted and reside in the external.

The unpleasant memories are simply scars in the patterns of mind. When you observe a physical scar it appears to stand out, and yet there is a large area of wellness surrounding it. It seems to fall to the background when the attention is on the scar. Your unpleasant memories can fade away as you observe how much pleasant memory resides around it. Do you have more to say?

Evelyn: I was thinking that even the scar is new growth and evidence of healing. It's just the black dot on the white background.

Elyon: Good observation about the new growth. I will use that later. It is true that one grows as well through falling and hurting as much as through the wonderful, uplifting times.

I would choose to comment on your conversation regarding honesty. I perceive that you grasp well the significance of honesty and the application with others when seeking to discern the limits of your expression. Consider that honesty is the value of honor. When you are honest it is because you highly regard what is truth. You honor it. It is valuable...(tape flipped).. as you hold truth in this regard you are motivated to express this. If you can compare your urges to express yourself with the value you place on truth and your love for your fellows, you will better understand when you are honoring truth in expressing, or if you honor truth by remaining silent, allowing time to pass for the recognition to come to another later. It is a challenge, one that can be difficult to deal with when your chemistry is flowing, and you are tangled in the sheets. However, it may be helpful for you to think of your honesty as honoring truth and allowing it to manifest for its greater comprehension. Any comments?

Mary: It is instructive to think of having to decide whether speaking out in truth will be more useful in accomplishing the goal of the moment or keeping quiet. This has been helpful for me in thinking about speaking in a group.

Elyon: It is something all deal with. It is part of what creates challenge for us who are helping you, for we weigh what to reveal and what not to reveal. Holding back can seem deceptive when in reality it is the best way to allow you to receive at the proper time. I have been willing to give more than I have but refuse if I can discern it would not be of best interest to you all. I have seen your frustrations. It is a challenge we all face.

Mary: If you handed us the sheet all smoothed out and unwrinkled it would not be nearly as good for us as untangling it for ourselves.

Elyon: It is true. When the sheet is handed folded it soon is disheveled again.

Mary: We would trip all over it! It must look pretty humorous from your perspective.

Mary: We would trip all over it! It must look pretty [[humorous]] from your [[perspective]].

Elyon: It is enjoyable and one of the factors that attracted me to this process. Long has it been since I was in your state. It is as a grandfather that I serve with pleasure, and my ability to allow you to go about your way is more as a grandfather. Your Thought Adjuster is far more parental than I. I get to derive pleasure being with you, offering myself to you. But as you know we have our separate paths we share at this time. The Father within is very invested in you. He wants to see you go through college.

I will release you at this time. I encourage you to attempt to apply our discussion this week by living with the focus that you are your inner being, your personality, your soul self, and that that element of you is anchored in your Adjuster. See how well that affects your living, your mind, your actions. We can take up the discussion, your observations, later. I will withdraw.
