RAYSON: Good afternoon, this is Rayson. (Group greetings) Thank you, it is good to be here. I appreciate the work that you have done in the preparation for this session today, of quieting of your minds and stilling your bodies. It is a good preparation for receiving the subtle energies of these messages, for there is far more in this process than just these words through this voice speaking to you and addressing you. You are in a merkaba zone, where the vibration through the merkaba is filling your whole being and you resonate with that. And being open to that, you become more in sync, in tune with that vibration.

===Lesson===
 
Today we will close the lessons on community building. This lesson today has to do with nation building. Nations are bounded, at least on your planet, by borders that separate one country from another, boundaries that separate one language, one culture from others. But there are greater boundaries within a nation that create greater separations between the people within a nation. And those in advanced nations are either dissolved or are in the process of being dissolved. Those separations between people are caused by economic differences, educational differences. You recognize that you have physical differences, and there are different social aspects to groups—this is normal on many planets. It does not affect the health of a nation or that of the individual. This lesson may seem like a historical review of your own nation, and in some ways perhaps it is. The principles of the expansion of your nation are fundamental to its future expansion.

===Dialogue===
 
Student: Rayson, would you speak to the subject of nationalism. I seem to feel that a lot of our problems in this country tend to be exacerbated by extremes of nationalism and patriotism. How much is normal and helpful, and how do we cope with the extremes?

[New topic] Last year, this group took a sabbatical through the individual decision of Daniel, at our suggestion. We have re-convened in the last 3 or 4 months, and begun again. We have reached the conclusion of this series of issues. During the last months, we have been very active to poke you, to push you, to step on your toes so that you move about, so you do not become a crystallized, social group that feels comfortable to come together once every two weeks and simply listen to the Teachers. We wish you to become active in our return to this group. This is Rayson, and I am available to you; I encourage you to meet as a group however you want to do that, to raise issues, questions that you have. You wanted to discuss community; we have done that. You wanted to discuss nation building; we have done that in part. If you have other aspects, other issues and interests that you would like to have discussed or developed as a full program that may last several months, please generate these interests within your group.

If this group has become crystallized and staid in its format, then it will shatter and disperse and will not reconvene. If you are interested in growing and
   
sustaining the group as an ongoing activity, then you will devise conscientious questions and issues you wish to know more about that will help your living on this planet and your progress along your ascendant journey. I know that individuals in this group are highly interested in continuing this format; we will be glad to re-engage this with you given new issues and questions that you generate. Until we have a new way of relating to you—and there are many—this format of teacher/TR and participants will continue. When more of you are able to TR, then we could develop into a new evolutionary stage of the Teaching Mission in a group. I encourage you to continue your Stillnesses; go to the Stillness and listen. And even if you ask the simple question, "Is anybody here?" that is a beginning—you know that we are. Be still and know that your Creator is here, and all of his beings of light are available to your growth and education. Until you devise these questions, these issues, these programs, I bid you adieu. (Thank you, Rayson.)
