Elyon (Jonathan TR): Greetings, this is Elyon. I would like to begin our meeting by once again acknowledging our friendship and our collective mission to be of service to those upon this world who seek life, who yearn for love, and who are hungry to advance their souls in time to the recognition and fellowship of the Father.

I have heard your discussion. I wish to comment on Jonathan's analogy of the balance scale and add one more point. When the scale is rocking due to influences on each side and it tips back and forth, you can indeed discern balance through the motion in spite of the view of the instant where it appears tipped to one side or the other. Let me draw your attention to the sliding weight beam and play with that aspect of this scale for a moment.

It is wonderful to see the new energies of our guests today. I am embracing you and experiencing with you the essence of summer. Like a plant that has gone to seed and wafts on the air, kissing the earth delicately touching and then moving on, gentle friendships enhance all of our lives. The seasons of summer and friends allow for the efforts of aloneness and winter to be bearable. Blessed be...

Evelyn: I wouldn't mind hearing more about the idea of "study" as increasing our skills in observing.

Tomas: Not much. The difference would probably be in your perception, my son, for you have a tendency as a mortal to think in terms of Jesus' mind as one thing and the Thought Adjuster as an entirely different spirit, if only because that's true. The Infinite Spirit is a source of universal mind. So, there is a fine line difference, but inasmuch as it is your path to find God through Jesus, you will encounter his mind first, and it will lead you home. So, essentially they are the same at least until such time as it makes a difference what the difference is. Is that helpful?

Angus: Yes. Elyon (Jonathan): The papers revealed to you this century, the Urantia Papers contain the phrase that the mind is your ship. In reflecting upon exchanging your mind for the mind of Christ, you can think of it as whose ship are you on. Is it the self-willed, self-sufficient ship? Or is it the cruise liner of Nebadon that is well equipped and capable of carrying all on board to its destination? The mind of Christ is the mindedness that is sought for in every individual. Mind is the vehicle whereby you ascend to spirit.

Angus: Yes.

Michael took upon himself the arduous task of revealing this journey when he bestowed himself here. To follow the manner in which he lived in your time and century will bring satisfaction in this life, bringing the morontia element to your mind and, in the life to follow, this spirit element to your morontia being. The Father's spirit will pilot you, but you must become skillful at reading the map, at interpreting the best course, taking into counsel the Father's presence. The journey to Paradise is not passive. Truly it is your choice to do the will of the Father. But your choice isn't as simple as buying your boarding pass and reaching the deck and sitting in a lounge chair. It requires becoming part of the crew and tending to the chores of the vessel.

Tomas: I have done my work then. Elyon, I give you the platform for salutations. Good afternoon.

Elyon (Jonathan): I likewise bid you farewell. I would simply leave you an assignment for this week and that is to think on these things.
