*          Malvantra (Mark TR): This is Malvantra, and I come among you once again on what have become the regularly scheduled rounds of those master physician assistants who have volunteered to be of assistance to you in your chosen gatherings, which can be likened to classes in a self-help clinic in that you all have chosen to be here by your own freewill choice and you all do desire to gain a better grasp and understanding of your lives and spirituality. I am one of many assistants here to help you in our endeavor, but as with your institutions on your world, one must desire to make a change and implement these teachings in order to be effective. No one in these clinics is dragged or coerced; you are all volunteers. You all may leave at any time and return at any time.

===Lesson===
 
I will play with the analogy of habits and consider for a moment that your efforts at self help may be likened loosely to a rehab clinic. As you have well noted, those aspects of your reality that you choose to allocate your limited resources of time to work together to form an overall picture, with various influences acting upon and effecting your overall view. By choosing to change your priorities and to reallocate your resources in a direction you see to be beneficial for your being shifts the influences at play and allows you to operate in a new paradigm.

How does one create these habits? I offer two words that are effective in fostering the development of the habitual reflex, that is, concentration and consecration. It is easy to note that in the physical realm to concentrate is to make strong, to eliminate superfluous elements such that an item becomes boiled down to its essence or is more potent. In the realm of mind concentration it is the act of focus to push aside distraction, unnecessary inputs that stir and steer the mind away from focus. It is a one point view. The term concentration is better transformed into consecration when we look at the spiritual life, for consecration is a dedication. It is a focus and a boiling down to the most vital and important values and personalities in your life.

*Elyon (Ginny): Good morning, this is Elyon here to briefly connect with you. Since you have put much time into discussion among yourselves -- which we have enjoyed thoroughly -- I will close with a note to you all about how pleased we all are at your desire to be and to act in the presence of God.

You have progressed much in understanding how this can be done. In your eagerness to share with each other your daily experiences, your daily struggles, is a sign indeed of your ability to be a little vulnerable for the sake of learning a lesson, for this indeed is where the lessons are learned, in your daily lives, with your daily experiences. Yes, learning to walk in another's shoes is an extremely important lesson to learn. Every good teacher should be aware of this and spend much time and thought about where the pupils are before beginning a lesson. You have all done well in teaching us more about your experiences. We are confident that your lives of spiritual progress will be magnificent, even on this first short one. So continue as you have been doing and be assured of our eternal assistance and our continuous presence, even when you do not sense it.
