Sivad: I [[hope]] it is visible to you how much [[joy]] I find in sharing this moment with you and our friends together. I do have a question pertaining to your lesson of the [[conscious]] mind and the [[superconscious]]. How is that our lives speak of [[truth]] that our words can never proclaim?

Elyon: If I may, I will return to my [[analogy]]. [[Truth]] speaks to the [[mind]], and it is much like [[wind]] that cannot be [[perceived]] directly. If you were to start a [[fire]] and create [[smoke]], you would perceive the currents. But, as you know, smoke can sting the eyes whereas the wind does not. [[Words]] can be like smoke to truth; they help [[describe]], but they also can cloud the issue.

Sivad: Thank you. That is a helpful [[metaphor]]. We spend a great deal of [[energy]] [[listening]] to words, speaking, and [[sharing]] our [[experience]]s. Yet always it falls short of conveying the [[truth]] of what is [[unfolding]] in our lives. We are told it is high time we had an experience that is too deep for words. As we fall in [[love]] with this [[adventure]], we place less value on these [[symbol]]s of exchange; though [[necessary]], they are for our conscious operations. I ask because my heart's desire increasingly leaves me [[mute]], this desire that you are part of and Michael nurtures and the Mother feeds.

Elyon: I have often reminded my listeners of the importance of [[stillness]], but that [[experience]] is like one wherein you are on a [[mountain]] top and can see as far as the eye can see. [[Clarity]], penetration of [[vision]], is [[profound]]. No [[description]] equates to the experience when shared with another. So, I will continue to encourage undertaking the experience of [[stillness]] so that you may directly witness its effects. As everyone does so, as you have indicated, the need for words would cease, and the nod of common [[understanding]] would be apparent.
